Firefox Community Forum

I use Firefox on Windows. I like it. But I also have an HP Chromrbook and I would rather use Firefox than Chrome. But I really don't want to do the entire Linux dance. Is there an easier way to get Firefox for my HP Chromebook?

I have lost all bookmarks on a new laptop. Recently added C Cleaner and did a scan. That may have caused the problem. But, now I cannot recover the bookmarks, nor can I save new bookmarks. The version of Firefox on my android phone has the bookmarks. I can see them. But, I do not see a way to sync the devices and import the data to my laptop.

Please advise.

I used to have about 40 quick links, or bookmarks on my home page. I had pinned several. Others appeared according to how often I used them. The latest update deleted all but 3. I am very unhappy. How can I get rid of this update and bring back my quick links? I guess I will have to go back to Brave.

I won't show my account information but when I try to access Amtrak's Guest Rewards site it goes into a loop. First it asks for username & password and accepts that with no problem. Then it asks for the code it sends to my cell phone and accepts that. And then it just keeps reloading various pages until I kill it. This is the error message shown in the log, it's repeated over and over:

NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIFaviconService.replaceFaviconDataFromDataURL]

   loadFavicon resource:///modules/PlacesUIUtils.sys.mjs:220
   loadFavicon resource:///modules/PlacesUIUtils.sys.mjs:647
   setIconFromLink resource:///actors/LinkHandlerParent.sys.mjs:139
   receiveMessage resource:///actors/LinkHandlerParent.sys.mjs:60

LinkHandlerParent.sys.mjs:148:17

I'm running under Mac OS 10.13.6 The site loads fine when I use Safari (version 13.1.2)

Thanks

This setting, "Always ask you where to save files," is definitely broken.

In a related article, they provided this solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1534384 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1534384]

Proposed solution: "I believe you also need to go into Tools -> Settings -> General and set the Action for the types of downloads (Applications) to Always Ask for those types you want it to."

But this workaround should not be needed. "Always ask" means always ask. As in always. No other additional steps should be needed.

Can you folks please open a bug to get this fixed? This used to work just fine in (much) older versions of Firefox and Netscape. "Always ask" is supposed to mean always ask. Like, always.

Hello, Within the past hour, "Checking for Updates" keeps running. I thought checking "choose to install" would limit the numerous times this happens per day, but it hasn't.

I've been experiencing this for a couple weeks and it's getting worse. I'm not sure what's going on.

I'm running Windows 11 and the last FF Mozilla update was #147.01.

Please advise.

Thank you, Gina

I have an issue where Confluence stops working after a while.

The issues are as follows:

• Opening a link will work and show the page.
• After about 5 seconds, the page will turn black.
• Using the search bar does not work, no results show.
• Trying to expand items in the sidebar does not work.
• Clicking on a link in the sidebar does work, but it too will turn black after the same 5 second delay.
• You can't edit pages.

I have found two ways to temporarily fix the issue.

• Clear the cookies for Atlassian.net.
• Go into the inspector, switch to the Network tab, tick "Disable Cache" and reload the page.

Unfortunately, this only fixes it for a week or two until it comes back.

This is not specific to any one Confluence instance. Once one stops loading, all (that we have tried) stop loading.

Bonjour, Cela fait plusieurs message que je vous adresse mais je n'ai reçu aucune réponse ? Depuis votre dernière mise à jour de Firefox, Je n'ai plus aucun marque page ni Favori. J'ai essayé diverses méthodes en ligne mais rien n'y fait. Pouvez-vous m'aider. Je vous remercie de votre réponse, Cordialement, Patrick BASSELIN p.basselin@gmail.com

I have an account for standard support release versions, I am now using extended support release version 140.7.0 and a popup notification keeps nagging me to make a new profile. How do I do this?

hello. my name is Andrew. im learning the language toki pona. great language! however, it does not currently have support in Unicode.

as a workaround to use this language online, people have been downloading a font called nasin nanpa, and adding it to firefox's font fallback system in the about:config settings, and using the fonts UCSUR characters, like these 󱥬, 󱥂​󱤴​󱤧​󱤑​󱦐󱤄󱤽󱤧󱤊󱥵󱦑.

[specifically, the font uses codepoints in the Private Use Area because the language's script is not yet in Unicode. ]

the changes are to these settings.

font.name-list.cursive.x-western font.name-list.monospace.x-western font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western font.name-list.serif.x-western

recently, this system has stopped working. this change breaks multiple websites, including many discord community's that used the font to talk online in toki pona!

it also presumably breaks other fallback scenarios. now im guessing that this has not been noticed as most fonts support every commonly used character, making this feature rather obscure. however i really would love this to be fixed, and so would the large toki pona community!

to see what i mean better, please see the below images. the last image shows a website that loads this font on it's own, showing what the others should look like.

Look at the attachment image. The 'Help' in the Firefox bar won't work anymore. I'm not able to get the Troubleshoot Mode to work.

Firefox 147.0.2 (64-bit) on my Lenovo Yoga 7 Windows 11 Home has been randomly malfunctioning when i use the hover over tabs with the mouse to show what is in the tab (small image) Sometimes it just fails for several hours, other times it works fine on its own later that same day.

I have tried to find this inside the browser several times with trying to find this browser-tabs-card-Preview-enabled inside about:config But it doesn't seem to exist in this version and apparently you can't add a new rule inside the browser to solve it.

Google AI solutions search is outdated or the wrong version. My computer and browser are up to date. How do i fix this ? I don't want to uninstall it, lose my logins and the bookmarks if i am unable to sync my files after trying to reinstall the browser only to find out it has failed.

As I mentioned I can't seem to access my network folders. I only have this issue in this machine but I have my account on 3 different machines on the network with no issues. All have the same extensions and settings.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my request. I am a long-time user of Firefox, but recently I have encountered a series of bugs.

1. Initially, I couldn't access GitHub. On the same computer, Edge works fine, but Firefox fails to load the page. Sometimes, the page content loads in Firefox, but the layout is completely messed up, leading me to suspect that CSS files are not loading.

2. I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the profile, and performed a complete reinstallation. This time, I couldn’t even open the Firefox account login page, receiving the error `SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ`.

3. Following online advice, I set `security.tls.version.max` to 3, but the issue persisted. The error changed to `SSL_ERROR_RX_MALFORMED_SERVER_HELLO`. When checking the certificate, the common name was `n.sni-347-default.ssl.fastly.net`.

4. Suspecting an issue with the system or browser certificates, I deleted all self-signed certificates and self-signed CAs (such as Fiddler and Accesser) from the system, but I still cannot access the site.

Please tell me, how should I go about solving this problem?

您好，感谢您在繁忙之中拨冗阅读我的求助。

我是Firefox的老用户，但最近发生了一系列的bug。 1. 最初是github无法访问。在同一台电脑上，用Edge可正常访问，但Firefox无法访问。Firefox有时页面内容可正常加载，但布局全乱，怀疑是CSS文件未加载。 2. 我卸载Firefox，删除配置文件，完全重装。这次连火狐账号登陆页面都无法打开，提示SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ。 3. 我按照网上的提示，设置`security.tls.version.max`为3，仍然无法加载，报错变为`SSL_ERROR_RX_MALFORMED_SERVER_HELLO`。查看证书，通用名称为`n.sni-347-default.ssl.fastly.net`。 4. 怀疑系统或者浏览器证书有问题，删除了系统内所有自签名证书与自签名CA（fiddler, Accesser）但仍然无法访。

请问我该如何解决这个问题呢？

Hi All:

I just got a new laptop and so I am getting everything set up the way that I like it. I have come across a problem with my sidebar though. I like to keep my bookmarks up all the time, but I want them to not be too wide and take up a lot of my screen. On this new computer, there's an addition 5 cms or so of white space at the far left of the tool bar. It had different buttons on it up at the top (one of them had something to do with AI) and a little gear down at the bottom of the space. I was able to remove all of the buttons up at the top, but I can't seem to hide the whole thing. I just want to see my bookmarks, without that extra customization sidebar. Is there a way to hide the spot highlighted in pink, but still have the bookmarks visible?

Roblox was blocked on my device and I wanted to get it unblocked and play it on Infrexa with Firefox. I already followed steps mentioned on the official webpage: https://www.infrexa.com/now-gg-roblox-login-and-play-roblox-unblocked-on-your-browser so please don't advise similar troubleshooting methods.

Now I am able to play roblox but the problem is that when I play the Roblox through "Mozilla Firefox" it shows an error "Firefox is already running but is not responding" and then becomes unresponsive when pressing refresh button, the fan gets faster and device heats up with too much hanging. But when I open the Roblox through "Chrome" it comparatively works good and asks for login details and after redirection it allows me to play Roblox Unblocked without any issue. "Roblox unblocked" here simply means a technical sense, meaning “not crashing” or “free from software or network errors and or browser malfunction".

I have been using Firefox for a long time and my passwords and user ids are saved in the browser so I want to continue using "Firefox" as default browser but I am having the issue in playing roblox unblocked and other games through Firefox browser. I think the current issue that I have started facing is especially after a recent windows update.

I also tried many other gaming platforms like Official Roblox.com, Now.gg Roblox, easyfun.gg and web.cloudmoonapp.com but all of them faced same issues on Firefox while running ok on Chrome.

I am currently running Windows 11 (25H2 Licensed version). I want to play roblox unblocked on my device using Firefox (updated). My parents have already allowed me to play Roblox and I am playing it on my own device and internet connection. Please fix the browser issue and unblock Roblox for me. Please also check my browser version against Windows 11 compatibility if possible.

If you fix this issue for me, I will be grateful to you.

I set up my new tab (after the Home page which was Google News for my profile) to show shortcuts in four rows. Clicking on these shortcuts opened the URL for an account or webpage. I "pinned" or "dismissed' these shortcuts over time. Somehow, I lost every shortcut and cannot seem to figure out how to recreate this.

I need tutorial guidance to restore my home site. All has been eliminated except tabs. The more I try on my own to restore, the more that gets deleted. I need a phone number to talk to a customer care tech to guide me.
