Firefox Community Forum

I use Firefox desktop for buying and selling on eBay. Lately when trying to buy items on eBay I can not view pictures on some items. The other problem is the buy this item button does not work. Some times this also happens when on mobile. Firefox is up to date. I believe this is all part of pushing everyone to use chrome or edge by websites. First started using Seamonkey and now Firefox. I prefer not to use either one ) chrome, edge) browsers. Why would eBay want to limit people to buy products on eBay? Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Good evening

Apologies for any apparent bluntness, but

1) What is a Fire Window? 2) How/where do I access one? and 3) How do I use it?

My utmost thanks in advance!

Regards,

Di.

Hi all,

Since recently Firefox keeps redirecting me as if I'm in Switzerland where I haven't been to ever since I use the internet. My location is in Croatia. I have tried to clear cache, cookies and browsing history multiple times, use incognito mode, my language is setup to English and I don't use VPN. Nothing helped. This unfortunately requires deeper dive because I can say for certainty that an individual who illegally surveils my device deliberately made this change and something needs to be done on Mozilla's end. Is there a way to directly contact Mozilla's support or what would you suggest to do to solve this issue?

Many thanks,

Lana

I am reaching out to seek assistance with a recurring issue we are experiencing in the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Issue Description: On the user's first visit to the page, the thumbnail fails to load and displays a black screen instead of the intended image. This issue is observed specifically in Firefox, while the same functionality works seamlessly across other browsers.

Steps to Reproduce: Open our webpage in Mozilla Firefox. Ensure it is the first visit (clear cache if necessary). Observe the thumbnail image section.

Expected Behavior: The thumbnail should load and display the intended image correctly.

Actual Behavior: The thumbnail displays a black screen instead.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Verified server response and headers; no anomalies found. Checked CORS policies and ensured they are configured correctly. Tested in other browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.), where the issue does not occur.

Request for Assistance: Could you please help us identify if this issue is related to:

Any specific Firefox rendering engine behavior? Known bugs or limitations in handling thumbnails or images on the first load? Additional configurations we might need to implement for Firefox compatibility?

Recently I haven't been able to sign into Coinbase. When I first try to sign in I just get the spinning circle for a minute or two as seen in the first photo attachment. It then turns into the second image I have attached. It appears to have to do with "human" verification. I set Coinbase as an exception everywhere I can in the setting with no change. This is a recent issue as it only started in September so there a recent change with Firefox. I am able to sign into all other websites without any issue and can sign into Coinbase with every other browser so this is very specific and only applies to Coinbase on Firefox. Why I unable to sign in?

Why can't I just ignore this prompt and close it? It's blocking my view of my web page. I really have to choose to block or accept? It's effectively a malicious pop-up.

Why am i getting the following msg. GAH. Your Tab Just Crashed.

This just started yesterday. Not sure why

I am on a school site and frequently download Word documents. Prior to a recent update ( this summer) the files went to a download manager and I could either work o the document or continue to work on the current webpage. However, sionce the update, the docuemnt is saved but inthe process I am kicked off the current webpage. Should I revert back to a previous version of Firefox or is there a workaround or patch? Thanks

I've been trying to locate the cause of this for the longest time and I can't. I have my Macbook hooked up to a Displaylink dock. Everything is running the most recent versions, the Mac, Firefox, etc. Randomly the windows will all show as they're not active and I'm not able to make any of them active. I can't click links, I can't exit out using the mouse, but hiting enter on the exit prompt will work. Have you seen this before? Do you know what is causing it or how to fix?

Hello,

I would like to know if it's planned that Firefox uses macOS abilities like on Safari, such as text replacement and others ?

Kind regards

Google web search on firefox is being cut off and adding a second scroll bar. This only happens on one account, and my other account doesn't have this problem. I have tried disabling all addons/extensions and it has not helped. If I could get some help with this that would be great because I am at a loss as to what is causing it. It also happens if I sign in on a private window, and does not happen on chrome. So this exclusively happens on this account when on firefox.

I just set up a server with linux Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop, with Firefox 129.0.2 included to do some dev and testing work.

Problem: Firefox seems unable to see or open files that are above or outside the user's home dir tree.

The only extra packages installed are the LAMP stack and Google Chrome, which has no problem. (had to have something for A/B testing.)

I've tried entering the url of file:///var/www/index.html, I've tried selecting 'open with...' from the files app, etc. Nothing works.

I can get to the file through http://localserver/index.html with no issues. I've verified permissions on the entire directory tree to the file. Everything from end to end has read permissions for all, 755.

I've checked the following advanced settings: security.sandbox.content.level..............................0 (started at 4, now at 0, no effect or change.) security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy.........................false (default setting as installed.)

I am able to open file:/// and get a dir listing. BUT, if I click on var, it gives "Access to the file was denied." I even tried changing the permissions on /var to 777, but no change.

This seems to be a Firefox only problem, since Google Chrome works where firefox doesn't.

I've spent several hours searching for ways to fix this, all with no success. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, or even what to look at???

Hello, earlier in the day I pressed a keyboard shortcut on accident when picking up my keyboard and has changed google results quite dramatically. I grabbed my keyboard and had a menu pop up on the left side and after i closed it noticed my google results had a scroll bar now. The results page only presents itself on the left half of the screen and a scroll bar has appeared on both the right side, cutting off text, and bottom of the page. These scroll bars only move a tiny bit and are quite unnecessary, but makes scrolling a pain as I have to be sure I am outside the new scroll bar area as they take precedent from the main scroll bar. I have googled Firefox's keyboard shortcuts and haven't found the one i need to fix this. Before I'm asked, no I do not have crazy zoom on and no zooming in does not fix this problem.

i was learning digital marketing from udemy on your browser and two chapters voices are overlapping. Beacuse of that its getting difficult for me to understand a topic.

I just got the update and love the sidebar customization. The only caveat is that there is no easy way to close a tab (not counting key shortcuts) without having to open the sidebar and click X that way. When it is a horizontal tab, the X is very upfront and easy to click. I was wondering if there would be any patch that would add a "close tab" button either to the right of the refresh button in the top left, or to the right of the "Open a new tab" button in the top right.

If there is already an easier way to close tabs, then I am all ears; the less clicks the better, and a more simple browser to operate!
