Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

HI,

After updating to the latest version on 1/11/22, many websites now will not load and display the error below. For some reason the google search homepage loads up, but after a search it will display the error.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to mail.google.com. SSL peer was not expecting a handshake message it received.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_UNEXPECTED_ALERT

Since your latest so called update a few days ago, all I get is the "Secure Connection Failed - An error occurred during a connection to www.youtube.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR" message when trying to open any pages. Your browser has become less useful than explorer or edge. It's the same message no matter what page is attempted to open.

Please let me know how I can get my old bookmarks as I do not have any on file in the restore area the only ones I have are five teen year old ones, Can you please help me restore them to the my original ones?

I have English and German installed in Windows and Firefox (Well and Russian, but Russian does not give any issues) English is set as system language in Windows. English is set as the preferred Menu and Content Language in Firefox. The menu is displayed in English as it should be.

Problem now is, some Firefox messages, i.g. the message that a website is asking me to confirm I want to leave, is in German, for apparently no reason. Even on English websites. It's not a major inconvenience, just weird.

I attempted to remove German from the alternative menu languages, for testing, but cannot. English and German both cannot be removed. A third language I add randomly can be removed.

I am aware that the locale I downloaded Firefox in cannot be removed, but I hardly downloaded Firefox in two Locales at the same time, did I? From what I can see I originally probably downloaded German Locale, since English is listed under Language Add-ons.

So what I am curious about is, how is it possible that Firefox gives me part of the menu/browser messages in English and parts of it in German? Does the English Language lack some translations? Hardly I'd guess. And why do I have two languages I cannot remove?

I updating firefox last night and now everything is like its in dark mode. The theme I am using is mostly dark, but it was last updated in 2019, so no changes to the theme. When I open a new tab, the page is black instead of white, etc. Is there a way to disable dark mode without changing my theme? It worked fine before I updated.

I know and admit I stuffed up.

One day a long time ago I was prompted for my master password.

When I clicked in that area/field a requester popped up asking me to pick a colour. Confused I picked one - and a bad one I now see.

So now when certain parts of a web page are opened the background colour is this horrible colour and I can't really read what is there.

I don't understand what I did or HOW I did it.

This is a cropped example of the bad contrast I am seeing.

As I said, I admit I stuffed up. But this seems to all have happened since that one time with the main password requester.

This is happening to literally anything related to Google. Be it gmail, google forms, google docs etc. If I wait for 10-15mins then it starts working. Then after some time again this problem persists. This happening only in Firefox and not Chrome or related browsers like Brave. So what is the problem?

Hi I'm running a Mac - macOS Monterey 12.1 (21C52) and using Firefox 96.0.2 (64-bit).

Yesterday I wiped my Mac and set it up as brand new. I downloaded my saved Bookmarks and Passwords to Safari and then tried to add my Bookmarks and Passwords to Firefox but the option to import "Other Data" is not showing (see attachment).

Anyone know why this is specifically not showing up regardless of whether I try and import from Safari or Chrome?

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to view a wi-fi troubleshooting page while offline. What options do I have? I've tried "Work Offline" but that doesn't seem to do anything, so if you have any manual for that option or a different one please let me know.

Thanks :)

How do I switch from light to dark mode? I've been using the same theme for a while now and up until the update it was defaulted in light mode but now it's in dark mode. How do I change my webpages to be defaulted in light mode?

How does one change the email address on the account?

I tried deleting the account, but I never receive the authorization code from my old email address, so I could not delete the account.

Any information would be helpful.

Thank you.

I keep getting a message about an update to firefox and select download which fails time after time. I have ver 96.0.2 and 97 download keeps failing. Is there some problem with firefox that is preventing an update download? If it is not going to download, how do I get rid of the update available notice that keeps popping up and never downloads?

I did update the Firefox 96.0 browser today, and the color of Title bar have change the color from gray to black! even background is black too. I want old color back again. Please fix the old color again I don't want all black because not good my eyes.

I'm working in Berlin for a few weeks - searching or typing in an URL will default to the German language version of the site and not allow visiting the English language site. How to stop this?

Thanks

Ben

all of a sudden the backround color for new tabs is black, I hate black. How do I make only the new tab backround white. It seems like every new version has different default values. Why is it not possible to allow users to try, then choose which new interface changes we want.

I updated to the latest version yesterday and now my Bookmarks ,History and a few other things have gone into Dark Mode. I really don't care for it and have tried looking into my settings but I see nothing that I can do to go back to the normal white. I am using Windows 11 on an HP All In One Desktop computer. Is there anything I can do to revert back to the way it was? Thanks for any reply.

Apparently I received an update and it changed my bookmarks background color from white to black. I hate this! How can I change it back to a white background like it was before the update?

Over the years, I have become dependent on a bookmarks toolbar that shows only icons, but will show the text with a mouse hover, using the following in userchrome:

/* The lines below allow the bookmarks toolbar to show only icons */

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-text { display:none !important; }
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
 margin:0px 0px 0px -4px !important;
 padding:0px !important;
}

The upgrade to Firefox 96 broke this. I considered spending an hour or two deleting the text from all of the bookmarks on my bookmarks toolbar, but I depend on the mouse-hover tooltip with the text to remind me of some important but not all-that-frequently-used bookmarks.

Any help appreciated.
