Firefox Community Forum

Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

If an URL already have many tags or longish tags I can no longer see suggested tags when starting to type tags. Image example illustrates. This URL already have the following tag list:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI

Old behavior was if started to type ", spi" it would list suggestions:

Spitfire Spitfire_MkIX Spitfire_MkV Spitfire_MkVI

Easy & clear to select from.

Now it lists all already existing tags before each suggestion:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkIX 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire_MkV 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkVI

Suggestions are scrolled right invisible outside the input box.

Who thought this was a good new feature? It adds nothing, I can already see existing tags, why would I want to see them repeated for each new suggested tag (while not actually seeing the suggested new tag)?

How can I turn this *!$&@! off and return to old behavior?

Videos won't load in previously enjoyed timeframe or indeed et all sometimes. timeouts when loading pages. speeds are like 15 years ago even in troubleshoot mode and after refresh. when can I expect improvement?

Hi, after upgrade of ubuntu to 24.04 i got into problems with using Firefox. I it running on x11 with proprietary nvidia driver, no matter of source package (snap or deb from the Firefox repository) and no matter of safe mode the Firefox gets frozen when clicking into any dropdown control in side page, the same happens when trying to open bookmark folder in the bookmarks panel or even the dialog that opens from the star icon in address folder that should add page into the bookmarks. When running on command line, in case of the snap version there are just some warnings of some missing css file, in case of the deb version it does not output anything suspicious. I was even trying to change the UI theme (qt) as well as GTK theme in case it makes any difference, but it did not... Thanks for any help.

Hello. How do I do if I want Firefox to open a new window every time I click on the icon? I tried to insert the command "-new-window URL", which used to work before but it doesn´t anymore. Is there anybody out there who knows something about this?

I am having trouble pinning any Extensions to my toolbar. When i click on the Extensions icon (puzzle piece), the Extensions menu immediately pops up. My extension (Bitwarden) is set to "Enabled". When I click on the three horizontal dots, however, the only options are 1) Remove, 2) Report, or 3) Manage. There's no option given to pin the extension.

Because of that, the extension basically never opens, and I am unable to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

I am running Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) in Windows 11 on a Surface tablet. FWIW, the extension is running fine in Chrome.

I am using the latest release of FIREFOX (in French), with Windows 10, regularly updated.

FIREFOX worked fine when I turned off my desktop on august 10. The next morning, Firefox could not connect to ANY website. I get a message telling me that "the secure connection has failed": PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR (see screenshot).

EDGE and CHROME work fine but cannot update to the latest version [Error OX 80072EFE] (see screenshot) THUNDERBIRD works fine.

I tried all sorts of solutions found on reliable websites. None of them worked. - Turning the router OFF then ON - Using Firefox "self-repair" mode - Uninstalling Firefox, then reinstalling a new, "clean" version - Checking the system clock (it is fine) - Turning OFF Microsoft Windows Defender - Turning OFF Kaspersky Anti Virus - Reinstalling Kaspersky's certificate in Firefox - Checking Firefox certificates in Windows' firewall

Can anyone please find a solution? I share Mozilla's philosophy and would hate to say goodbye to Firefox, but…

So, it happened again today. Saw their commercial on TV today and went to legacybox.com (NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE; they transfer VHS tapes, and other stuff, to digital) and got an email from them after closing the browser tab and leaving their website. While I didn't open the email, their email Subject/title was "Thanks for stopping by...".

All I did was look around their website for a few minutes AND DID NOT GIVE THEM MY EMAIL ADDRESS!

This is EXTREMELY DISTURBING!

PLEASE, If anyone here has the Video DownloadHelper extension installed in Firefox AND their Companion App (it costs ~$28, I think.. so don't bother if you don't have it). And make sure you've updated to a recent version, WHERE THEY HAVE YOUR EMAIL/Licens# IN THE SETTINGS (L click on the VDH icon, click on the gear icon, and at the bottom of the menu, click on "More settings....". If your email is there, PLEASE GO TO Legacybox.com AND SEE IF THIS SITE SENDS YOU AN EMAIL as this may help to confirm if Firefox is leaking emails thru that app. Thanks!

I'm using the latest Firefox on Win10, with a fairly powerful laptop (64 gb RAM, intel i7 2.3 GHz chip), and for about a month now, whenever I use it, it uses so much CPU all the time that my laptop is overheating (slight hyperbole, but it's definitely churning the fans a lot, and the area around the keyboard gets hot to the touch). Sometimes it uses up to 45% CPU, and over 20% memory!!! (as reported in the task manager) Usually around 20-25% though. While Chrome, at the same time, is using 0.1%. It's not just when starting up, either, it's continuous during use, until I quit Firefox.

What the h*** is going on?!? I've tried the troubleshooting steps, but it remains crazy regardless of turning off extensions, and I'm just using the default theme. I notice it's mainly when loading images, like on social media.

This is insane. What is happening. Can someone help me?

Hi,

I cannot use 'Windows Snipping Tool' to screen-capture some information on 'Protected Content' on Mozilla Firefox. Is there a reason for this? Thank you.

Firefox no longer starts up. It crashes and stops responding on MAC Monterey 12.7.4 This is as far forward as it will go on this old mac. Everything worked fine yesterday, start up today and no go. I removed the profile and attempted to restart. No joy. So I downloaded a fresh copy and installed it over the old version. No joy. Cannot access profile manager. Removed version and fresh install, still no joy. How to I get it to launch, then How do I recover data from old profile?

I've been researching for a long time how it’s possible to save a website as a PDF with Firefox by keeping the hyperlinks active. The applications that Firefox offers are inadequate. This means that if I want to save pages on different sites outside of the web search, they are not saved correctly as PDFs. There are applications that also keep hyperlinks active, but with the problem that the scaling of a page no longer corresponds to what it actually has. Alternatively, reference is often made to other browsers such as Chrome or Opera. I know it's running there as it should be, but I want to keep using Firefox. When I search on YouTube I only find trivial things like how to save a PDF in general. I already know how to save PDFs in general, but it is explicitly possible that hyperlinks also remain active which seems like nobody is interested in. This is a major problem. I just don't understand why something as trivial as an A4 sized page of hyperlinks requires 7+ hours of fruitless research? It seems like I'm someone who's only interested in simply having an HTML to PDF with active hyperlinks. Do any of you have experience with this situation? I would like to mention that I also tried wkhtmltopdf. But the conversion with this tool is cumbersome and is no longer necessary for “just a quick save”. My question: How is it possible?

Windows 11, Firefox 129.02

I've done both a refresh and a clean install and the problem persists. Fonts set to "allow site to substitute"

In Google Maps (maps.google.com), the street names and route numbers (graphic) disappear after a second. This happens in both regular and incognito windows, and regardless of zoom level.

Oddly, when I set privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config to True, the street names appear, but route numbers are just color boxes. When set to False, I can see both for a second before they disappear.

When I go to History and then Clear Recent History with History and Temporary File checked and the hit Clear nothing happens.

I found that I can delete the histories one by one with the Delete key.
