Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

When opening or downloading an attachment from an email (yahoo mail) the email tab closes after about 20-25 seconds without warning. Happens each time a new attachment is opened, but does not happen when opening the attachment subsequent times. Happens on all my computers. Have tried all the basic remedies..clearing cache... cookies..etc

I have seen same exact issue posted by others.

This started happening approx 4-6 weeks ago.

Hello,

I believe the following to be a deficiency in Privacy and Security settings under 'Clear History when Firefox Closes' is selected.

My Environment: Windows 10 Pro (21H2 Os Build: 19044.2130), Firefox 106.0.1 Note: This problem/issue has been present for many versions prior to the versions listed.

Problem Description: Under Settings - Privacy and Security - History, I have Clear history when Firefox closes selected. When I restart Firefox and check History under the Menu bar there is no History as one would expect.

However, I also have dragged the Firefox icon down to the Windows Task bar and use that icon as a shortcut to start Firefox in both normal and private modes. The issue here is upon right clicking that icon there is a huge list of previous websites listed under 'Recent'. If you have the settings described above there should be NO history showing. This is a significant Privacy issue and should be covered when the above settings are selected.

So, this should be corrected in a future update. In the meantime where does one go to delete this cache of saved websites for Firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

This happens only in Firefox, rest all browsers chrome, edge, internet explorer works fine and there is no issue with youtube. I already resinstalled firefox, created new profile, safe mode etc. This is something from firefox side only.

I think Firefox just updated to 106.0.1 (64-bit). Since then I am not able to play videos on certain sites that I need to for work. I get a message "This video cannot be played (error code 224003)" This happened last year and I can't figure out how I fixed it other than it is definitely Firefox.

The website that breaks is: https://travelfilmarchive.com/home.php

I think I accidentally changed the proxy settings on Firefox for Mac V. 106.0.1. I get an error message with most websites now, including all Google sites, stating

"Secure Connection Failed. An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR.

Please advise..

I shutdown my firefox browser and was running top on my linux POP_OS 22.04 laptop.

I noticed a firefox process running at 23 to 25 % of the cpu even though the browser was closed. Can you tell me what is running and how I control it?

I just got a new Macbook signed in and forgot my firefox password so then I reset the password, unknowingly lost my bookmarks...Can you help me recover that profile?

It was for account name: [Email address]

Since update 106, there is a new dock icon for Firefox on MacOS tailored for Big Sur an above. I'm still using Mojave for 32bit apps, and it doesn't look as good. Can we have an option to revert back to the old dock icon?

I do a lot of OS switching - I test various Linux distros on my 5 laptops and one really old 32 bit system for my mother-in-law and I am wondering if I can use FireFox Accounts over and over without making a new service device every time I need something from FF Accts :P

This has bugged my off and on for a long time but I have mostly ignored the issue ... until last week I discovered I had like 20 some odd devices on my account -- going back 2 years or more. Now, I signed out of many of them and I am down to about 15 -- mostly because I am a little confused about how FF Accts determines what to sync ... especially since I use FF for testing and the shouldnt be that much in each 'sync' device ...

So, is there a way to use FF Accts 'sync' to get my data to a new device without making a new 'synced' device?

Thx/Bill

PS - a few FF releases in the past I got what I wanted by just copying the .mozilla directory to the new system but that broke a few releases ago :P too bad stuff has to change :(

Also, please understand that I am on Android, iOS, MacOS, and Linux daily so trying to 'gather' what I am submitting this question on will not lend itself to trying to solve my insanity >< Sorry!

Bookmarks that I have added do not show up in the Bookmarks Menu folder that I have chosen using Triple bar menu_Bookmarks_Bookmark Current Tab. I have taken the search bookmarks to find the correct bookmark but this is getting tedious. I have also discovered that the folders located in the Sidebar Listing don't agree with the Bookmarks Menu on the toolbar.

A sample of four folders: FOLDER Qty Per Sidebar Qty Per Bookmark Menu A 16 6 (Some but not all in the sidebar belong here.) B 9 5 (Some but not all in the sidebar belong here.) C 8 8 Hooray a good match! D (Other BM) 29 25

Some of the entries in the sidebar have no relation to the folder subject. While I may have put some entries in the wrong place the two folders with the same name should have the same bookmarks displayed. At least that is my expectation. This happened soon after an update.

There are no incorrect entries in the Bookmarks Menu bar.

I recent migrated from Ubuntu Mate 20.04 to 22.04, now I see that Firefox come from snap (not form .deb package). I find that bleachbit is no more capable to clean Firefox cache and I find a tricky situation: Firefox suggest me to autocomplete fields like account or username, amount (in home banking web page) and others, but I disabled the auto complete and the suggestions I can see are even from months ago and I never see that suggestions when I was using 20.04 because bleachbit was cleaning it weekly. Now the fact is that represent a privacy problem for me. How can I fix this problem?

I have an account that I am unable to log into or reset the password for. When I attempt to do either, I receive an error saying "Primary account email required for reset" which appears to be a database issue.

I believe that this could be fixed by populating the "Primary account email" field with the current contents of the username so I am finally able to log in with that account.

Is there any way I can get in touch with someone at Mozilla to get this issue fixed?

When I connect to my company portal, I have some picture with link to virtual machines like machinexx.ica

The problem is now with the new release, I have to download the .ica link to be able to execute it.

the links with .html are still opening without the need to save the link. So there should be a way to have .ica file open automatically in spite of loosing time to save the link and open and go and delete the downloaded link.

is there a way (other that switching to other browser) to change the behavior of Firefox ?

Thank you guys.

I recently added the Firefox Private Browsing feature and I believe I made a mistake. Since then my computer often slows to a crawl and I have to restart it to get it to function normally. I wish to delete the Firefox Private Browsing feature to end any burden it may be on my computer. I do mean delete and not disable.

How can I remove the Firefox Private Browsing feature?

Firefox keeps asking to sign-in for the past few months, which gets me irritated each time. Why my Google accounts for mail, sheets, docs etc getting logged out each time I switch off my PC? When I switch it back on and open Firefox to access my Google tools like mail, sheets and other stuff, it asks for a log in every time. I have to sign in to my workspace every single time and also for my wordpress dashboard. Why does not this browser save my credential and show the dashboard directly just like in Chrome?

I want to save my login credentials forever so that I can jump into my stuff directly!
