Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

Hello; so, my brother lend me his old laptop, clean. I signed in firefox with my account and explore normally. One day, he need it back a couple days so he can work while he repairs his main machine. Log off of my account and log on in his. Now my bookmarks, historial, loggins, etc appear in his session. We think that can not be possible with separate accounts with different associated e-mail and passwords, but here we are.

There is a way to separate my things from his account? It only happens to him, i don't have in my browser his data. Thanks

I maintain a website that I update on a regular basis. For the past month, none of the updates have shown up in Firefox. I've refreshed the page, cleared the cache, logged out and logged back in. Nothing has helped. With other browsers, there's no problem -- Chrome, Opera and Safari all show the website updates as soon as I post them. I'm using Firefox 122.0.1 (64-bit) on MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (MacBook Pro 14-inch 2023). The website uses WordPress, hosted by DreamHost. I have two other WordPress websites, both hosted by WordPress, and Firefox is showing updates with no problem. I'm querying DreamHost on this as well, but I suspect they'll must say it's a Firefox problem.

I had set Google to be my default search engine. But that seems to have been replaced by yahoo! [I have tried to put a screen shot here but Firefox won't let me] I searched for Google in the search box which put the following in the url.

https://uk.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=google&hspart=iba&hsimp=yhs-syn_weatherprince&param2=9dUI1n2R0BLDxNuWfiP4aSFOTltNdSPoIx38%252BUf%252FiXrvPdoGmStdlfwLFZYDv ...

In Settings>Search, there is no Yahoo. Presumably it has hacked my computer. How can I get rid of it? I am running Windows Defender (3 1/2 hours to go) and I have Reset Firefox. Win11, 64 bit, latest Firefox

The twitter videos are not getting played in Firefox, details are below:

Version: 122.0 (64-bit) OS: Fedora 39

Below is the error message : [Child 308118, MediaDecoderStateMachine #2] WARNING: Decoder=7fdadbc58400 Decode error: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR (0x806e0005) - mozilla::MediaResult mozilla::FFmpegDataDecoder<60>::InitDecoder(AVDictionary**): Couldn't open avcodec: file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-122.0/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachineBase.cpp:166

Thanks!

I want to remove the top toolbar. I actually use the plug-in called “New windows without toolbar” for this, but I have to activate this plug-in by clicking on it every time. I want the toolbar to not appear at all when Firefox first opens, how can I achieve this?

Sorry for English..

I noticed that some installed Extensions are enable to work under Sonoma 14.3:

  AdBlocker for YouTube™, 
  Clean YouTube™, 
  Don't track me Google, 
  Flagfox, 
  Social Fixer for facebook, 
  Social Video Downloader, 
  TinyEye Reverse image Search.

Are updates planned?

I needed to leae a Google review for a friend. When I opened a third tab and started typing Google the following FireFox suggestions appeared (see attached screen print) showing a Google slide show of a friend who passed nine years ago. How is it that this came up on my computer? I have NEVER searched for this using this unit nor have I ever downloaded the link. So my question is "Just how secure IS FIreFox?" "How is it possible that Google knows this computer and its owner?" "And given that I use a Norton VPN it further exasperates my concern."

I turned off my Mac Mini 2 last night, February 7, and when I turned it on this morning, all my Firefox bookmarks were gone.

Everything else is fine (Chrome bookmarks, which are different from those in Firefox, remain intact). And yes, I should have known better, but since when a Firefox update deletes all bookmarks?

I'm guessing that is the reason, because everything else is intact.

Any suggestions as to whether there is ANY way to recover them?

Thanks!

Since downloading Firefox version 122.0 on 1/23/2024 unable to log into my investments web site. Firefox version 122.0 not compatible with Fidelity Investments log in protocols, returns with refusal to accept good password / usernames. Closing Firefox and using Microsoft Bing or other browser works fine. Please look into this and release update/fix for version 122.0

For some reason I can no longer upload any photos or videos to Facebook, via messenger or direct to a page / groups. I used to be able to do this previously as I was a user of the marketplace. My system is a modern build gaming PC running Windows 11 and using proprietrry antivirus software. I have tried mozilla troubleshooting mode, resetting firefox, removing addons, removing or halting any add block software and much more. I am at the end of my tether and will consider leaving the browser after over a decade as it is causing me issues with the groups I frequent as I cannot find a work around. It also replicates the same when I am on my android device and operating via the browers on their which is of course synced to the PC.

Many thanks and I look forward to a response that may help.

Hi,

I am using Firefox Version 122 on Windows 11. For the past month Firefox is slow to start on its first start. It took 2 to 2 1/2 minutes to load up. I have tried ways to fix it but not working. I tried using Google Chrome to test the speed and on the first start and it takes 5 seconds to load up. Therefore, it is not my computer problems. Please help.

Thank You

RE: Settings and Search

_1. Go to Firefox SETTINGS __

_2. From SETTINGS, click on SEARCH __

_3. Attached snippets / screenshots show nice shortcut to toggle on-off auxiliary Search Bar on the Toolbar. Version 121.0.1 has the shortcut. Version 122.0 does not have the shortcut. __

_4. Please issue an update that will restore this shortcut. __

_5. FYI, I did figure out that you can navigate to SETTINGS, MORE TOOLS, CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR, and FIND in order to add or remove the auxiliary Search Bar on the Toolbar. But the shortcut in illustrated in the screenshot of Version 121.0.1 was so much simpler!

The streaming platform Twitch seems to have an issue with both the newest version on Firefox and 122.0.0, did as advised but nothing works, I need this function for work related reasons.

I'm using Manjaro Linux and I place Firefox in a particular position on the screen. In the previous version, just before 122.0, Firefox would "remember" the last position on the screen. Now when it starts up, the window is in the middle of the screen and not to the top left as when it was shut down. Anyone else notice this?

Hi; The gear symbols that were next to the extension in the Extension Panel, are no longer there. In the recent past, clicking on the gear symbol by the extension, enabled me to pin it to the tool bar. How do I get that function back? Thank you, Nick M. mr.nick@myyahoo.com
