Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

Hello. Starting yesterday, Firefox has stopped playing audio from every website and even local files. Yes, I read this article and no, the sound is not being muted instead the sound just refuses to play. In the screenshot, it shows that the "play" "mute" and speed option are greyed out. Also, I tried using safe mode and audio still wouldn't play. What should I do?

Whenever I try to visit https://www.doordash.com/ in Firefox I get a web page that states --

Hmmm! The page you're looking for must be here somewhere... error code: 404 ERR_004 Maybe you'd like to go back home

(See screenshot.)

This does not occur on any other browser.

What is this nonsense?

When I press the "menu" button in the top right of the screen, nothing happens. If I hover over the button, it says "open application menu" but clicking does absolutely nothing. The same happens with the account button to the left.

What can I do to fix this?

'Why isn't there a way to stop scripting/redirecting when you click on a link? For example you click on a link thinking you are going to download something, but you are redirected to an AD site, or a Game site. Someone is racking up "clicks" for cash.

I.E. had a way to stop scripting altogether, or to allow you to choose to be be "asked" if you want to be redirected to another page, when a site wants to be redirected years age. So it shouldn't be that hard for you guys to set it up too.

I'm sure you just didn't think of it, but it is becoming a common problem with many sites, where someone manages to hack in a redirect an make some money getting "clicks", and worse, tricking people into downloading bogus shit programs like chromius.

I continue to get this message "secure connection failed" while trying to access this site : www.courts.mo.gov. I can practically get any other site with firefox, google or internet windstream. Please advise or FIX. Thank you much!

With some update of Firefox, it changed the way it handled Excel files to where it opened in Excel automatically instead of asking to open or save. I know how to change this in the Settings|Application, but I have a few users that Excel is not listed in the Content Type at all. Does anyone know how to add an application type if it's missing?

Thanks

Not sure which update caused the issue, since I've been delaying updates for a little while (maybe 15 days or so). Immediately after starting Firefox, the Intel graphics driver stops working, which causes Firefox to hang on a white screen. The windows warning is something close to "Intel graphics driver stopped responding and has recovered". The only way I can start Firefox is in troubleshoot mode. I tried disabling hardware acceleration, which solves the problem but I'd like to keep using the GPU so it's not really a good solution. So I forced Firefox to use the NVIDIA GPU (gtx 960m) on the NVIDIA control panel. This worked, Firefox starts and works as normal again but within just a few hours has already caused the NVIDIA GPU drivers to stop responding once, prompting Firefox to stop responding too and hang on a white screen. Restarting Firefox fixed the problem. This might have been a fluke but I'd like to keep using the Intel integrated GPU, if possible.

I'm using Windows 8.1 and my laptop has an i7-4720HQ (Intel HD Graphics 4600) and a GTX 960m. I'm using the latest version of Firefox 106.0.2

Any idea what might be causing the problem? I haven't had any trouble with either GPU on any other occasion

Apologies for asking this here, but I've done the Google and can't find an answer.

Background: I keep 2-3 Firefox versions and profiles on my computer. The software is in, for example, directories FFox82, FFox84, FFox86 The profiles are in, for example, directories Firefox82, Firefox84, Firefox86 (The software and profiles are on different drives.)

When I do an upgrade, I copy the newest software to a new directory and rename it (e.g., FFox92 - so now there are 4 sw directories) Then I copy the newest profile directory and give it a corresponding name (e.g., Firefox92 - so now there are 4 profile directories). I install the new version to its directory and thenlaunch with a -p option. Then I create a new profile and point it to the corresponding folder. Then I launch the new version with the -p option pointing to the new profile directory.

This has worked for decades.

But I just tried it with Firefox 90 and Firefox 92 and NO GO. It acts as if I've never used Firefox before. No apps, no toolbars, no bookmarks, nothing.

What is going on? Am I stuck on Firefox86 for the rest of the century?

And, please, don't tell me how wonderful these new versions are and I should simply accept the change. I have a virtual lifetime invested in the toolbars, extensions and bookmarks on my computer.

I simply want to know if there is a fix and, if so, what it is.

Hi,

My firefox has been consuming lots of memory (and many CPU processes) for quite some time now.

I read that i can adjust the number of multiple content process, but somehow i am not seeing it inside about:preferences menu even after i checked 'Use hardware acceleration when available' option.

Do advise me on what should i do to improve my firefox speed?

Regards,

Frans

Firefox has updated to the newest version now my Bookmark icon is gone. I have been using Firefox for years but am very mad now. I could get some bookmarks but all my bookmark folders do not show up. I can't find how to import by bookmark backup. BUT biggest issue is how in the world do you get the bookmark icon back?

I am a member of teaching staff at a university in the UK. Most sites we common sign-in via SSO but some sites have different sign-in methods. I am no expert on any of this, merely a user. 2 particular sites I need access to have failed to let me in in recent months. They generate a pop-up (see enclosed window-shot) asking me for my username and password and then keep coming up with the same pop-up. Both sites work with Chrome on my laptop and Opera on my phone. Our systems team have relayed me the following explanation:

“The latest versions of Firefox aren’t compatible with the “Extended Protection” for Windows Integrated authentication (NTLM) security setting that we have set on the Faculty Intranet…

The reason for using extended protection is that it enhances the existing Windows Authentication functionality to mitigate authentication relay or "man in the middle" attacks. This setting has been in place since the tail end of last year…”

I don't want to have to use Chrome, can't use Edge as this is a Windows 8.1 machine. Any chance of solving this?

I reinstalled Firefox on my desktop. I lost all my favorites and bookmarks. I still have them on my laptop. How do I sync, retrieve them form my laptop, not erase them from by laptop?

Used firefor for well over 10 years never a problem. but today i try to get google to load and i keep getting. the message below.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.google.com because this web site requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

www.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

Any fix for this bug? The basic function of the web browser is to load a webpage and Firefox is failing that. This happens several times a day. This also happens in Troubleshooting mode so no add-ons are responsible. The Webroot anti-virus and Malwarebytes have Firefox.exe allowed.

I click on a link and the webpage never loads. I copy the web address and paste it into a new tab and it loads. I do not have this issue with Chrome or Vivaldi. I currently have Firefox version 106.0 and use Windows

The blocking of mixed content is stopping me from using Ebay. I can't expand photos of items or look at any a additional photos . Most importantly I can't bid. Which is VERY, VERY, VERY frustrating and annoying.

I have followed your help guide as to how to turn off this annoying feature, but they are incorrect!

When I get to the appropriate screen which say 'You are not connected securely...' the tab to turn off blocking protection for mixed content is missing. It doesn't exist! Consequently I can't tun it off and can't bid or look at photos on Ebay.

Please correct this asap please.

I currently use Firefox version 96.0.3 (64-bit) and I have a PC with Windows 8.1. Am I able to upgrade to Firefox Version 64.0.2 (128-bit) which is recommended by US Treasury Direct?

On 3/22/22 an UPDATE was installed successfully on my home computer. On 3/24/22 at 12/21 pm CST, a notice box to install an update appeared. I clicked on the box, I put in my administrator password, and it installed. I rebooted my PC.

Since this install, I cannot open Firefox at all. I get this message box. "I use Pocket via the Firefox sign in and I need to access an item with Pocket. The shortcut is missing from my desktop. And is no longer listed in the Start menu.

I get this message box:

WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS THE SPECIFIED DEVICE, PATH, OR FILE. YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PERMISSIONS TO ACCESS THE ITEM.

I checked the path of the executable file for firefox. The file is located in C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. So this is correct.
