Firefox Community Forum

I subscribe to my city's newsletter. It gives quick links "click here" to register for a class, "click here" for information about an upcoming parade. I used to be able to click and get it. Now it tells me It can't find the site OR I might be connected but behind a firewall. There are too many options and too many terms, I don't know what to do, I just want to click links from my city newsletter, and get taken to them. Help???

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at vu4mbwlab.cc.rs6.net.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

My e-mail will not load sub links. It pops up a list of links not related to the e-mail. Stated when I installed avast. Took avast off. DID NOT fix problem. What now???

I have always had them setup. And I would expect a prompt when my computer had been shut down, or OS/FF had updated - seems normal. As of a couple weeks maybe months ago, I'm being asked for it what feels like constantly. In fact, It just asked me twice back to back withing the same session/tab/interaction with Passwords. That feels like a lot, esp if you actually have longer and more complex pwds than 90% of us. (And me sometimes, not claiming to be a pw angel or anything lol). But personally, Mozz/FF passwords fall into the top tier of my brains security hierarchy, along with my Apple Account, private keys, device encryption, MFA recovery, etc...things you'd generally be sure to incorporate best practices with and really don't wanna forget or lose. I don't really love the idea of turning it off, buuuut getting a bit grumpy about being pestered all day from Firefox.

So bug? Updated policy? I just woke up form a Coma and simply don't recall 2024? Hopefully not the third one.

On an M4 Max running Sequoia Version 15.2 (24C101) using FIrefox 136.0.1 at the moment, but have noticed the same on a Yoga/Windows 11, iPhone, M1 Macbook Pro.

Privacy/Security is set to Strict. No sus permissions I can see. HTTPS only. DNS over Cloudflare (Default Protection). No exceptions of any type granted. Aside from Mozilla (for Extensions), and Google (for Popups).

Thanks yall.

Oh (and I should prob open a proper ticket but while) but I'm here, and I just noticed the line about "On macOS, some background tabs will be moved to lower power cores, reducing energy usage." from a recent Firefox update brief. I've been having a rough time lately on this M4 Max - 16 cores, 64GB mem with tabs freezing up the whole browser, every window. Sometimes the whole OS. Not specific to any certain site, and has happened with 1 windows and 3 tabs open just as often as 4 windows with 40 tabs open. And usually I cant even get to Activity Monitor at that point to see if it looks like a memory leak, or whatever. And if I can get it to shut down (the browser), it will get into this loop where it just loads back up all the same windows, and that same particular tab will lockup again as soon as I click on it. And it takes foreevvvver to load back up even when I don't interact with the browser aside from CMD-Tabbing tf out of there. Tbh I'd prefer FF to launch clean after being told to shut down. Always have the option to load recent windows anyway....

^ aaand then saw the blatantly obvious checkbox to turn off reload on start my bad. 😅

Sorry last thing - what exactly does "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system." mean? Yeah that sounds straightforward, and I would expect that from most websites? I think? I know you want to be transparent, but that phrasing sounds weirdly aggressive lol

When I open Firefox browser around ten several weeks old tabs are there. It is not set in the setting to open. I did many attempts to get rid of this nuisance and they are still here. I Created new profile, erased all profiles, removed Firefox, and reinstalled with option not to use old setting since new installation found that the fire fox has been installed. And frustration part that Mozilla do not offer (as I know) support to fix this problem. This glitch is hidden somewhere and the program always find it an put it back. I am not sure if what to do as I run out of options, other than turn to another browser after many years using only Firefox with no problems at all. Thanks Ned

I am tired of clicking and scrolling and clicking and scrolling to find something I use constantly. It's fine to bury "settings" in a menu because I only use it once or twice. But things that we constantly use daily should be prominently displayed front and center. When I make a user interface I always make the daily use items as easy as possible. Rare use items can be hidden away in a submenu because it will only rarely irritate users, and in fact, if it can be destructive, it should be buried deep in the menu tree so you don't click it by accident.

None of my saved passwords in my Mozilla account are showing up when I switch laptops and try to logon to various sites. Instead I have to manually enter the passwords for the sites every time even though the sites show that I have saved passwords for that site in my Mozilla account. When I type the password in a old or new site, Mozilla doesn't even ask if I want to save the password anymore.

My computer displays were dramatically different one morning a couple of days ago, as MS Edge seems to have overtaken control of my system, which included changing the displays on my monitors. I have restored the system to a few days ago when the system was correct, but the restore resulted in the same Edge displays. With considerable effort to overcome Edge, I have also made Firefox my default browser. After resetting and restarting, my One Note pages are still no longer available and my displays have not changed from the Edge-changed ones. Any additional ideas? Please?

New update to Zen browser this morning, indicated that Roboform extension needed to be updated. Uninstalled,re-installed Roboform extension. Zen browser does not seem to use the the extension - no offer to fill passwords, etc.

Can I revert to previous version of the browser?

I'm trying to get my settings & themes back after an update, and nothing is working. I can't even open bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar. I just get "new tab" with the dots moving like it's searching for a site.

Ever since I updated last week, one website that I use will not work. Whenever I try to log in to the M&T Online Banking website, it blocks me and says "M&T Online Banking Is Temporarily Unavailable." The app works on my phone and I can log in through Chrome, it's only on Firefox that I'm getting this problem. I called M&T Bank and they confirmed that it's a problem with Firefox. Something is blocking me but I don't know what it is. I am not using a VPN or adblocker.

I can't get to my yahoo email account because they say I have an ad blocker. As far as I can tell there is no ad blocker on my computer. I've never added on and on the game I play ads come on all the time. I would love to find anything on where to even find where an ad blocker would be on my computer. I've searched add ons and extensions and apps and everything I can think of and no ad blocker. Please help

I've had to reinstall Firefox because of several viruses. I have a password and an account recovery key. How do I restore my Firefox account, bookmarks, and passwords?

Firefox 136.0. Previously: 1) No search engine sign in urlbar (left side). 2) When I pressed "en." in urlbar, it supported one-time go to Wikipedia search. For this I needed to press down arrow one time. Alternatively, with up arrow, I could move to any other search engine from the configured list. Now: 1) Search engine is present in urlbar for any entering into it. 2) To switch I have to press another selection (as suggested Wikipedia) with mouse, either to left or to down (where suggested) of the urlbar.

I want to return the old style with selection that works with keyboard.

help me restore all tabs if possible, there were more than 200 tabs i need to restore them. i tried to restore them through journal and other profiles but there were empty tabs there too.

In Firefox, it's possible to store logins, and then assign a Master Password to protect those stored logins.

In the newest version of Firefox desktop for Windows (136.0 - 64 bit) - it asks for the Master Password twice, even when only showing a blank start tab.

Normally, it will first asks for the Master Password, when you browse to a website, that has a stored login. Is it a bug or a new security feature?? - anyway, I find it very, very annoying.

Hi, browser movie streaming on Amazon.com Prime posts an error over every movie as of last night that states it can't play HD content due to wrong OS or Browser not being up to date. Then it defaults to SD bit rates.

I'm not the only one with the error on Amazon's forum.

The "error" which is more like a warning, appears as a bubble in the lower right corner of the streaming content (movies specifically).

Checking my router logs shows that all is well in the badlands, no warnings, no dropped packets. And as I said, streaming movies in HD was just working last week and no other website I visit is affected.

I use DRM content on this PC everyday. I don't have issues with any other streaming platform or websites. I have cleared cookies and stored data I have rebooted my system a ridiculous amount of times. I have not reset Firefox but I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, and imported all of my synced info.

HARDWARE SPECS: Windows 11 pro PC AMD Thread ripper 2920. Gigabyte Designare X399 board. 64 GB of I think patriot ram. A single m.2 Pcie as my C drive. AMD 6900XT graphics card with latest drivers. 1000 watt corsair rm 1000i - stable power. All windows drivers are latest and stable. I don't have any warnings in my system devices. I have the security feature for TPS 2.0 enabled in bios or I wouldn't be able to boot Windows 11 pro. My system is not overclocked. I can ping everyone and everything I choose to. I use Quad 9 as my https DNS. I DON"T dual boot my hardware. I don't use a virtual machine to run windoze.

I ask you, dear reader and developer extraordinaire, What have you all done to my precious internet and web? What magical and simple switch can I toggle to get Amazon prime HD streaming back?

Obviously it is Amazon services refusing to stream in HD over a browser interface. But why suddenly? This sure appears to be some kind of dark social engineering scheme to see how many are affected and how much they can get away with. But I have to check with you as I am not a programmer nor a designer.

Peace be upon you and yours. Please dump google like a pyrex pan from the oven with no mits on.
