Forum d’assistance Firefox

I was asked to close Firefox to download a new version. After that I can't get Firefox to open at all. Every time I try I get a window stating that it can't open and ask me to report to you. Best regards Gunnar Herrlin

I am trying to access a site for a public utility in Israel, with the country-level domain .il. Firefox continually reports this as '403 forbidden'. I've cleared the cache, which did not solve the problem, but am reluctant to take other measures since I don't know their side effects.

Is this an anti-Israel setting created within Firefox as part of a BDS campaign? Or has the system been hacked by BDS supporters or similar.

Youtube and Twitch both have a delayed response to un-muting. After turning on the audio, it takes about 4-5 seconds to hear any audio. Youtube has long load delays each time rewinding or pausing. I tried on chrome and I didn't get these issues. I also already cleared cache and history.

The dialogue box for creating filters is so large that the submit button is below the bottom of the screen on my laptop. When I finish designating a destination for a filter I am unable to save it. I have tried to size the dialogue box, to no avail. Is there a solution?

Hello everyones,

My firefox on my ubuntu give me to "bug" :

first "The bookmarks and history system will not be functionnal..." second, when i try to sync sign up : "error 500"

What i have try, "rm -rf .mozilla .cache/mozilla" i have download latest version and execute "firefox-bin" i have try to chmod 777 all this folders and under folders...

i'm working on it from three hours and have read many solution on firefox support or others website, no one works...

So can you help me ?

My Firefox browser automatically updated a few days ago. Since the update, the browser now crashes repeatedly during basic browsing, making Firefox essentially unusable. For instance, retrieving Yahoo mail, reading articles, accessing login pages -- the page will enter some type of refresh/reload cycle and crash the browser.

I opened the browser in troubleshoot mode and the problem did not occur. Following the Mozilla instructions, I disabled extensions and reopened the browser normally, and the crashes continued. I have not taken any additional actions.

This problem began immediately after the latest browser update on 9/13.

Not only can I not load anything on Firefox, which I would love to be able to use because of the privacy settings, but it is so hard to navigate your help site. other browsers work fine. Yes, I've read the help page on this and none of it works. I just don't think it should be this hard to use ?? or am I missing something

Is there a memory issue with Firefox in regards to how PDF files are shown?

This happens every so often.

When I open a PDF the font is distorted and it seems to be encrypted. I have to close Firefox and reopen and then the PDF file is displayed correctly without any issue.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm not sure I'm asking in the right place, but I couldn't find anywhere else that would match my question better.

I recently submitted a new add-on, which has just been accepted and added to the store. I'd like to submit an alternate version of the same add-on as another extension, but I haven't been able to. The first add-on provides two features, but one of them requires access to web requests; the second add-on removes that feature entirely and therefore does not need to access anything (other than a button press), hence why I'd like to add it as another, separate extension.

The first submission went smoothly, no issues at all; however, today after making the necessary changes to the add-on to make the alternate version, I tried submitting it and have been unable to because Multiple submissions violating our policies have been sent from your location. The IP address has been blocked.. I'm forced to use a VPN, and I assume this the reason why I'm getting this error message.

I've tried restarting my router, changing my location on my VPN, or briefly turning off my VPN, even using another computer, but it always results in the same error message after doing the captcha, preventing me from submitting the other add-on. What can I do?

I assure you I'm not a bot -- although that's probably what a bot would say in this situation...

Thank you.

Like in the title, anything that has boxes on them have a weird white box or just not the right colored and flicker when hovering over them. The corners of the boxes also become not rounded. Happens on other websites like youtube too, not just the settings. Started happening when I updated to version 116.0.1. I downgraded to version 113.0 and everything was fine. Both are on fresh install so I don't think it is related to any extensions that I downloaded. I am using a device with arm windows so the platform is ARM64/AArch64.

Currently on macOS Firefox 117.0.1 and in the last week I noticed I can't authenticate with my Yubikey anymore. The browser will prompt for the key ("touch your security key", etc.). While the prompt will go away after I activate my key, the browser window won't advance past the authentication page. Short story-- I haven't been able to use my Yubikey for any site recently.

hello

I have used Firefox on a 27" MAC for many many years. In fact I have used Firefox on many macs since Firefox was first offered. As of the last update or browser upgrade offered by Mozilla for Firefox for Apple desktops, most all streaming video service no longer work. YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Netflix all stall after a minute or less of selecting a video from the above vendors. I get the little spinning arrow, and then a screen message that states that my ISP is not providing me with enough bandwidth to stream video. Absolute nonsense. Using Safari I have absolutely no issues, problems, stalls, buffering, error messages etc., and the experience is what I used to get from Firefox. I have lots of bandwidth available, and have had a professional network engineering service provider check my internet connection. Even if I make sure no other tabs, applications or other iterations are running, ONLY Firefox, it stalls and will not play video. Then I get another screen message that states that "maybe if you restart your device you may be able to play video". While I realize that Firefox is free, I still think I should have a reasonable expectation that it will continue to provide buffer, stall, and hang free performance when I want to watch YouTube, Amazon Prime and or Netflix.

Why when have to make a payment and verify with bank when I come back to firefox it refreshes and I have to start payment again. It's chicken and egg and so frustrating. How can I stop this? Never used to happen. I need to find another browser as this isn't fit for purpose. Could someone please help

Same as the question.

The display shows some icons on the last tabs I opened but it seems only some basic website layout is loaded but all the details are gone. Like text, button borders, even the exit, fullscreen and minimize buttons. I have seen that this has been an issue for quite some time before so I am looking if there is a fix or a workaround. I have and Nvidia graphics card and drivers if that means anything. And my swap file is 20 GB and my RAM is 16 so the space shouldn't be a problem. It gets fixed when I turn off Firefox but not when I refresh tabs.

The crazy thing is that when I take a screenshot inside firefox (with firefox integrated screenshot option, like when I press right click and then take screenshot. I can see the text so it seems like it is a display problem but this only happens with firefox and not other apps.

Appreciate all the help. I will ask of ubuntu formums next if I don't find a solution here.

Thank you all for reading and answering!

Hi

I have received the time out message when I enter an address into firefox and it just "hangs" with the little circle going round.

When I enter the same address into chrome it loads within a few seconds.

This happens every now and then
