Firefox Community Forum

Hello there is website from 2021 - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploying-firefox-language-packs

for now it seems it doesn't work anymore, how I can accomplish similar results?

Hi, I used Firefox browser at work since it had the best add-in for tab groups (Simple Tab Groups). Unfortunately browser is not supported any more. Is there a portable version that can be run without installing, from Mozilla.

I read a post that indicated it was available from PortableApps, but am not conversant enough to know that it's 100% safe. Believe that it was able to be updated as well.

Hi, I have a disaster situation. I backed up my profile and then I wiped my computer running Ubuntu 20.04. I replaced it with Ubuntu 24.04. Now my profile seems to not be compatible with the Firefox installation on Ubuntu 24.04.

I followed this official instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

I put my old profile in the ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/ folder and I set the correct values in profiles.ini. But sadly when I start Firefox all my passwords, extensions and history are not there. I lost everything.

I'm super desperate. Please tell me I can fix this somehow. Why is the official documentation lying?

The way the FF browser saves the password only links to the basic URL, users.wix.com. The problem being, it only offers the password options if one the sign up users page, which that URL default to. It will show the drop down menu with your login options. Once selecting login, FF no longer offers any password options, even with a right-click. Wix has a two page login, one with email, then the next with the password. It is like FF does not even recognize that first page properly. Only after manually entering the email, does the password just appear on the second page (if saved).

This is really sloppy functionality. It really stinks if it has been awhile since logging in, and you cannot remember what email was used with the account if several are related. It requires then manually going into setting and looking it up in the passwords section. I have never experienced this problem with other browsers.

It is there any way to get it to work normally with Wix (and possibly other similar two-step logins)?

Lately I have been having some real problems with Firefox. PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) does not support Firefox (I get a message telling me that Firefox is not a supported browser and I need to use Chrome, Edge. I also am having problems with sites like Petsmart where I keep getting logged off and nothing actually ends up in my cart. I don't like Chrome and I won't use Edge under any circumstances. What is the problem that these sites are having with Firefox? I have been using Firefox from it's first being offered (yes I'm that old) and I don't want to change. I use DuckDuckGo with both Firefox and Chrome so I'm reasonably certain that the issues I am experiencing are Firefox issues. I have tried turning off the add blocking extensions and even my firewall but that hasn't helped. I get the feeling that these sites (and others) are part of an effort to get rid of Firefox in favor of the 2 giants Google and Microsoft. Am I just paranoid or what?

I use Windows 10, McAfee Security software, Firefox browser with DuckDuckGo search engine. I also use Chrome browser with DuckDuckGo search engine. Everything works fine with Chrome.

Hey everyone,

I'm having a frustrating issue with Mozilla Firefox on my Intel-powered laptop. Every time I try to use Firefox, it crashes randomly, especially when I'm loading multiple tabs or watching videos. I'm running the latest version of Firefox, Version 130.0 and my laptop is using an Intel laptop https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/faqs/intel/best-intel-processor-laptops/ i7 processor with 8GB of RAM.

I've tried some basic troubleshooting like clearing cache, disabling add-ons, and updating drivers, but the issue keeps happening. My laptop runs everything else just fine, and other browsers like Chrome work without any issues. I'm not sure if it’s a Firefox bug or something specific to my system. Has anyone else faced this issue with Firefox on an Intel machine? Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I would appreciate any help or advice on what to try next! Thanks in advance!

Locking this thread, please continue here: [/questions/1461372]
I've been researching for a long time how it’s possible to save a website as a PDF with Firefox by keeping the hyperlinks active. The applications that Firefox offers are inadequate. This means that if I want to save pages on different sites outside of the web search, they are not saved correctly as PDFs. There are applications that also keep hyperlinks active, but with the problem that the scaling of a page no longer corresponds to what it actually has. Alternatively, reference is often made to other browsers such as Chrome or Opera. I know it's running there as it should be, but I want to keep using Firefox. When I search on YouTube I only find trivial things like how to save a PDF in general. I already know how to save PDFs in general, but it is explicitly possible that hyperlinks also remain active which seems like nobody is interested in. This is a major problem. I just don't understand why something as trivial as an A4 sized page of hyperlinks requires 7+ hours of fruitless research? It seems like I'm someone who's only interested in simply having an HTML to PDF with active hyperlinks. Do any of you have experience with this situation? I would like to mention that I also tried wkhtmltopdf. But the conversion with this tool is cumbersome and is no longer necessary for “just a quick save”. My question: How is it possible?

I am having a great deal of difficulty with Firefox playing YouTube videos. While I have been very happy with Firefox for a number of years I am thinking of going back to Google Chrome. I need to access YouTube videos for my work. I recognise that you will have 1000s of email requests for support but I would like a personal email back rather than being referred to a chat room that does not provide any help or solutions.

I'm running Firefox version 129.0.2 on my laptop...HP Windows 11 Home 64-bit Version: 22631.4112; 16GB Memory; AMD Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon(TM) 780M Graphics. I thought that I had disabled co-pilot, but apparently not. I've attached a photo of the pop-up window. Thanks for any help Lenny

If watching any video in full screen, upon restoring Firefox back to "normal view" the entire program changes its position on my monitor. In regular mode (IE; not full screen) the position of the program on the screen - flush with my top and bottom panels - but NOT full screen is unaffected when closing and re-opening Firefox. The change in screen position is only when going from full screen view to non-full screen mode. OS: Ubuntu MATE 22.04.4 LTS 64 bit Firefox Ver: 115.14.0 ESR 64bit

Hopefully someone can help. I will post this in the Ubuntu MATE community forum as well.

Cheers.

I retired my old desktop and moved everything to a new one. Now all my inbox email messages disappear after 14 days. Nothing I've tried fixes it. Can you help? Moses
