Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

Since Firefox has changed extension management to the new style, the multi-account containers toolbar icon now only allows 'Always Open This Site In…', there are no more options to create new containers, manage containers, or customize VPN connections.

Hey All,

I'm an old user of Firefox since the Netscape times. For the last few weeks, Firefox become so slow on all my computers.

I have 2GBps internet connection and

• a fast PC (i9 11900/64GB/NVMe SSD RAID/3080Ti, Win 11 for Workstations, wired Ethernet@2.5GBps)
• a once-it-was-fast notebook (i7 8750H+32GB+NVMe SSD, 1660 GTX, Win 11 Pro, wifi 802.11ax >800MBps)
• and a relatively slow notebook (Ryzen 3 2300 or the like, 4GB, Win 10 x64, wifi 802.11n).
• All of them have the latest op system, drivers, firmware, etc.

A common scenario:

• I try to open a webpage in Firefox, nothing happens;
• I switch to Chrome (or Opera, Edge), open the same page, it opens in 1-2s;
• I switch back to Firefox that is still at the middle of loading the page;

I can play it on all the 3 equipment, the result is the same: Ff is much slower than any other browser on my PCs.

There is one common app that is present on all the machines: my paid-for security package that I won't turn off. If Firefox has any problem with it (that Chrome, Opera and Edge don't have), Ff must go (with my regrets).

I tried to turn off all the plugins but it didn't help. I don't think it's plugin related as Ff is still so slow w/o any plugin enabled.

If you could give me a hint where to look for the cause that would be great.

Thanks.

Good Day All - Previously I had installed a extension for my homepage. I had to reinstall my operating system and now that I'm reinstalling firefox I can't find the extension I was using previously. Is there any way in Firefox to see the history of the extensions tied to my account ?

All my bookmarks and favourites vanished after a semmingly normal update. I had everything there, it was the reason I wanted to keep firefox instead of using edge. Please help me!

I just spent 15 minutes browsing and downloading a lot of images. When I was done I looked at my downloads folder and saw only half of them there. I checked the download history in firefox, and couldn't see some files. They were not queued or in progress. They weren't in the download list at all.

I reproduced this. I downloaded an image again. Right click, save as, click save. Then that image doesn't appear in the download history.

I tried some variations. Hitting enter instead of clicking save. Opening the image in a new tab and using ctrl-s.

Still, no image in the download history or on disk.

I quit firefox and re-openned. Still the file didn't appear on disk or in the download history.

Then I kept trying, and I got a second issue, which I think is related.

Often when I save an image, instead of one window popping up asking me where to save it, I get a second window popping up ontop of that, then a third, then a fourth. All ontop of each other. All asking the same thing. They take the focus, so it's not possible to interact with the main firefox window to continue browsing.

Sometimes if I hit enter literally 50 times then it will save the same image repeatedly, and eventually I can go back to browsing.

Sometimes there's more than 50 popup windows (my hunch is more than 100). My only solution then is to quit firefox forcefully. Which is annoying if I have state in other tabs that I don't want to lose.

This has happened many times over many weeks. It only happens on some file saves. I can't figure out why it happens on some, not others. (Right click > save, and also ctrl-s, they both do the same thing.)

This form won't let me attach a screen recording. Only screenshots. That's annoying because you can't really see the behavior from the screenshot. But I'll try. See the dark black border outside the download dialogue? That's normally a very faint transparent shadow. But because there's so many duplicate windows all exactly ontop of each other, those multiple transparent shadows have become opaque.

What you can't see from a static screenshot is that I could see each window appear ontop of the other. If I try to select the filename text and edit it, very quickly another window appears ontop with the default filename again. I can see the Firefox icon in the Gnome bar on the left shaking every time a new window pops up.

(Hmm, it looks like I can't *upload* screenshots either. I click browse, select a file, and then it doesn't get uploaded.)

I'm on Ubuntu 22.10 with Wayland.

I don't know if this issue is a bug in Firefox, or in Gnome. I've only seen this behavior with Firefox in Gnome. Not Firefox on another DE/OS. And not any other application in Gnome. This behavior has been intermittent since I bought this laptop and installed Ubuntu about a month ago.

For the past year or so, I keep getting this message when trying to access the grocery store website. I'm not really sure what to do to correct this problem or why it started happening. You don't have permission to access "http://www.kingsoopers.com/?" on this server.

One of the foreign website I need to visit seems to work only with ASCII chars on its URL, even though the website itself will request URLs with foreign characters!

Is there a work around?

Why am I getting this when I try to access their home page?

When I click on 'gmail' it opens in a tech support email search history instead of inbox. I have gone to settings and tried to do something but I don't understand the options.

I need to change my email address, but my old one is no longer active so I can't receive the confirmation code that will be sent to it, nor can I receive a reply to this question. Firefox version 113.0.1; Operating system Mac OS x 10.13.

I have been using Firefox for a very, VERY long time and until recently, loved it.

I have a few newer issues now:

1). If I am NOT on the internet using Firefox (Which is for internet use), why is it still running? This slows my system down while I am working with graphics programs. It should do an update check when I use it on the net (As a non-invasive background process) and not interfere with my work.

2). When I am online playing my game (Wizard 101), IF I have Firefox running in the background, I get lots, I mean LOTS of lag time and freezing screens. If I don't activate Firefox, then there is no lag or freezing screens.

Before you say I need to check my computer; sorry but THAT is NOT the problem. I have been using the same computer and the ONLY change is the "5 Million" tiny updates of Firefox.

So how do I fix these issues...or do I dump Firefox (And all things Mozilla) and find another browser program? Is it wrong to expect better from you guys??

Hi there,

I've been using Firefox for year, but since about last week I've developed an issue where I can't use Soundcloud. As soon as I go on the website, there's about a 5-second wait, while it tries to load, before it crashes the browser and I have to restart it.

I've tried switching off all my ad-blockers, etc. but that hasn't worked. I have Privacy Badget, Disconnect, AdBlock and AdBlock Plus.

I've just noticed that the website works on Private browsing mode.

I love Firefox, but Soundcloud is the website I visit the most, so in a bit of a predicament. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Can a Wildcard such as Dollar or the question mark be used to substitute a character or a number of characters while searching the FF password manager? Thanks I checked out the help page below and tried to search the help but no joy https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/privacy-and-security/passwords-forms-search-and-history Thanks M E

When I attempt to log in to Ontario Gaming Corp I am continually advised I am not eligible because I do not live in Ontario. This is BS - I have been living in Ontario since 1953! Please determine the cause and get this fixed.

Having changed for a time to another browser and imported/exported back and forth, I am presently with three bookmark menus, one after another. When a bookmark does not appear, I have to go to manage bookmarks to see in which one it is. Is there a possibility of merging the menus or only by manually checking in one menu and scrolling to the next, etc. and eventually deleting the excess? If the last is the only option, is there any way to get a second display to work from instead of having to scroll back and forth? Thank you for your imput.

I use mozilla for years, and now I had to reset my PC reinstall windows, and after that I changed pass for mozilla acc and I lost all my data, please help.
