Firefox Community Forum

HI,

I updated recently the Firefox installation on my Mac to 139.0.1. I noticed that I can no longer print from certain websites using Firefox. One example is from Alaskair, where I tried to print a ticket and it was just sitting there trying. I had no problem printing the same with Safari.

Is this a known problem? Any suggestion (other than just give up on Firefox and use Safari) for what to do about this?

Every time I update Firefox, new bugs cause annoying problems. That's why I usually not updating for a long time.

Thanks.

When following the instruction to sync bookmarks on Android phone it leads me to items that are not there. Open Firefox mobile on phone. Ok. Hit the 3 dots drop down. Ok. Choose sync and save. Not there? I click my email and it shows sync. I click that and it shows the last time I sync my phone. 0 minutes. Ok. It shows a QR code to scan from the Firefox app. It instructs to click ready to scan. That's not there either. If instructions lead you down paths that are not present, the instructions are useless. Anyone else having this experience? Thanks..........

I have a WINDOWS computer and I use Windows 11.

My Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar has several FOLDERS.

Each Folder has "drop-down" components.

Example: FINANCIAL Folder includes: Pension

                                                                Social Security
                                                                Military Retirement pay
                                                                15 or so "others"

                 BANKS Folder includes:  Bank #1 ( name witheld)
                                                           Bank #2 ( "         "         )
                                                           couple more

                 MEDICAL Folder includes :   Medicare
                                                                My Chart
                                                                couple more

Everything looked great. Worked great too.

Then, next time Computer turned on, the FINANCIAL Folder had "Pension"

                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Social Security"
                                                                                                           "Social Security" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Social Security" ( 3 more times)
                                                                                                            ALL THE REST - GONE !!

Several Folders now 2-4 more times showing on the Bookmarks Toolbar Additionally, MANY Folders are now "Missing" !!!

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was CORRECT !

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was ALL WRONG as described above.

What is going on ??

Is there a way to FIX this? Do I need to go to GOOGLE CHROME / MICROSOFT EDGE ??

Similarly I have tried to LOG-ON to my Marriott Hotel website and things did not work correctly. I called Marriott Reservations and described the problem. Marriott asked IF I was using Firefox? I replied "YES". They said to use Google Chrome instead.

I used CHROME and everything worked GREAT !!!

Is this the answer? Firefox is not being properly supported? I should switch Browsers ??

I have used Firefox for MANY years. These problems are VERY recent.

I have always thought that "hackers" targeted Microsoft so Firefox had a "lower profile" and was therefore "SAFER".

I am losing confidence in Firefox.

Are these problems that other Firefox users are having also?

I liked Firefox's recent REVIEWS of "Ratings" -- but that was terminated recently.

Something "smells BAD" about Firefox.

What gives?

If your recommendation is to "abandon Firefox", which Browser do you recommend?

You help is much appreciated.

I have recently changed my browser to firefox and I have noticed that sometimes, when I have multiples tabs opened, it happens that, when i click in a tab, it instantly opens a new window with that same tab. I know that is a way of doing that on puorpose, but it happens to me against my will A LOT OF TIMES, which has been annoiyng me a lot. I asked AI and it thinks it may be a malware but it doesn't seem so. I have looked up on settings and there's nothing about it. What should i do? Has someone been through something similar?

My very favorite browser will not open when I click the FF icon. I did another download and it will not open, as well. What can you tell me about this issue and how to fix it? An avid user for many years.

when signing in to Yahoo mail using Firefox I'm asked to click continue then view a QR code but no code appears. Instead I'm asked to plug in a USB key. How do I set up a passkey on my phone?

I did my monthly Norton 360 system scans and updates last night, and maybe it is coincidence, but all of my Firefox bookmarks are now missing, and there is no browsing History showing. I have tried the import/restore steps but each date I try to restore from I get an error message - "Unable to process the backup file".

I have been having a problem the last 2 weeks. When ob certain pages my browser will suddenly jump to the top, or near the top, of the page. I have mostly noticed it on Walmart when i try to click on the add button or if i remove an item from my cart. It happens on a few other places like Barns and Nobles . Anyone else having this problem? Cant be sure but i first noticed it after one of the last updates. I have tried running my browser in safe mode and disabled all extensions and add-ons but still does the same thing. click and and page jumps to top. click on an item to look at it and the page goes all the way to the bottom.

Some sites do not work correctly even if I select Custom and uncheck the boxes there, but these sites work in Google Chrome. One of the examples is the Twitch site. It's not displayed correctly in some places and there are probably other sites. I wouldn't want to add these sites manually, because personally I don't see any point in it for myself. I really hope that Mozilla has provided the ability to completely disable this function using standard tools (settings or about:config), without installing any extensions.

Thank you!

so in the top right there is "Finish setup", i have marked all things, beside "Import previous browser"... the problem is.... what previous browser?... it is a fresh installed system, i have no file to import, and for whatever reason i can not skip it, which doesn't make sense... cuz firefox works without those imports... so why do i get forced to import them... i do not have anything... the annyoing part it... when i click on it, firefox says something "couldn't find files"... which sould be a deead giveaway that i don't have any, it it just should move one... i tired to disable it in about:config, i tried to edit ~/.mozilla, did not work... i just have that super annyoing text at the top, where i have zero change of removing.... why don't you just add a "skip button"... is taht to much to ask?

hello. i downloaded firefox from official void linux repo, and have issue with font rendering or smth. in settings option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" is enabled. don't have same issue in any other gtk apps on my system.

Okay, so I've tried the security.enterprise trick, add on, cashe clearing , don't have vpn enabled, restarting, poxy changing, changing the value of something from 4 to 3 in security (I don't remember the exacts), its up to date, I've tried the whole install a newer version thing, changing my search engine. Nothing is working and I can't sign into my account on my laptop because of this. I'm loosing my mind trying to get firefox to talk with my internet. It started late yesterday by being slow, figured it would clear up but nope, it's not letting me see my tabs at all now. I don't want to loose any of them and I can't find any solutions. It keeps giving me pr_end_of_file_error which I've exhausted searches for with nothing working. I'm still kn windows 10 because I refuse to go to 11. Is there some kind of magic bullet I'm missing?
