Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

Just recently the info popups in Hulu stopped working ,have tried different settings in adblock ,but it may or may not work. I have not changed any settings and it won't work in safe mode either.

hello,

since today I notice that all text in firefox (56.0 mac-version) on certain sites appears only in question marks (in suqares). looks like that on sites like mozilla support (busy right now in safari) google.com, my banking site, tmobile, gmail and a lot other ones too. all those sites show totally normal in other brouwsers.

did the following troubleshoot 1) view > text encoding > unicode = OK 2) preferences Font & Color > advanced > checked 'allow pages to choose their own font' = OK

any other suggestions? (:

tried to enclose some screenshots (small jpg and png files) but the upload keeps spinning for ever... never mind.

thanks in advance for any help on the questionmark problem.

I'm seeing a really weird issue - https://rs2018.raffworks.com/ - on Firefox PC only, after opening a couple of the items up, the scrollbar completely stops working. Sometimes one item, sometimes three or four. But then bang! the scrollbar just locks up completely and it's impossible to scroll the page.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Firefox on macOS is fine.

Operating system: OS X 10.9

Starting about four months ago, I began to see untitled and non-selectable windows spawning after my browser had been open for a while (i.e. after I visited a few sites). The number of these invisible windows grows over time, but are removed if I close the browser and start a new session. This has persisted through many new versions of Firefox.

I tried turning off all of the add-ons. Still happened.

I tried keeping track of what sites caused the problem. No correlation.

Today I uninstalled Firefox, using AppZapper -- which should have removed everything -- then did a new install. The only thing that I imported were bookmarks from the backup directory in my old Profile folder.

...and it's happening again. Here is a screen shot: http://imgur.com/ojcODd1

Any help would be appreciated.

In both versions 34. and 35. when I go to any Google site I get a pop-up box "Opening" with a message about opening 'application/octet-stream' and asking what should Firefox do with it. This never happened to me in version 33. and I have scoured the message boards looking for others reporting this problem but can't find it so must be something with my system config but I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Running Windows 8.1, Kaspersky virus protection on a Dell Envy AMD A10 processor ... I like Firefox and don't want to stay on version 33 so any help is appreciated.

I have an old Toshiba satellite laptop that is running win 7 and FF 42.0. I have always had a problem with the text on certain web pages (including the text I'm typing right now) being so light that I can hardly read it. I can't include a screen shot because I don't seem to have Paint on this computer. Does anyone know how I could remedy this? Thank you.

I have a problem with a Photo Bucket slide show on my forum. I can view it with IE, but not FF. The framework appears but will not display the images, It ceased working one night about a week ago. I have disabled all addons, but still no joy. So I reinstalled FF (43.0.3) my current version, and it worked, but when I went to view it again it stopped working. Everyone else can view it who are not using FF.

I have tried everything from the help section I can, but nothing works. Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Slowly losing interest in FF. I have used it for years, but to me it is sadly becoming unreliable.

Thank you.

I've had this problem in Firefox for some time: Live traffic shows for a few seconds, then disappears. It will reappear if I refresh the page, but not if I move the location or zoom in or out. If I restart Firefox with all add-ons disabled, I do not have this issue.

The obvious next step is to selectively disable add-ons until I find the culprit. But I disabled every single add-on, and restarted Firefox: the problem persists! So there must be a difference between starting Firefox in Safe Mode vs. disabling all extensions. Firefox states "Safe Mode is a special Firefox mode that can be used to troubleshoot and fix problems. Safe Mode temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes) that might be causing problems." But I use the Standard Theme and turning Hardware Acceleration off does not solve the problem. Any ideas?

This is on a Dell E5410 laptop with 8GB RAM running Windows 7 Enterprise.

Here are the add-ons I use, but I'm guessing that it's a plug-in issue instead. Any recommendations how best to diagnose?

Name Version Adblock Plus 2.7 Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.9.2.1-signed Autofill Forms 1.0.6.1-signed Dashlane 3.6.0 DownThemAll! 2.0.18.1-signed.1-let-fixed DownThemAll!

Thanks for any help!

I finally got tired of Chrome tracking me all over the place, so I returned to Firefox. I'm using a PC with Windows 7.

However, since I started using Firefox again, periodically a blurred bluish screen overlays my browser. I can tell the browser's still in the background, and sometimes part of the page will flash clear and then vanish just as quickly. Waiting doesn't resolve the problem. Nothing consistently causes this, although I am usually in Facebook, but I have to close the browser, losing my tabs, and reopen the browser. Since I never know when it's going to happen or what triggers it, I can't figure out what's going on. I've seen other queries in the community support forum, but they aren't exactly what's happening to me. Flash is up-to-date, the browser's up-to-date, malware screen finds nothing.

I'm out of ideas, but I really, really, really don't want to go back to Chrome, so if any of you has any idea what's going on here and how to resolve it, I'd love to have your input. Thanks!

I have a problem with ebay it shows as a mobile site why? amazon shows fine and all other sites the only add-on i have installed us ublock nothing else.

I have tried clearing cookies,temp files, resting firefox even removing ublock reset firfox and even uninstalled firefox with iobit uninstaller and scanned for leftovers after removing it.

I'm on windows 10 pro running build 1703 and it happened in 1607 as well

Thanks for the help in advance

I run a forum that uses Invision Power Board as the forum software. In Firefox 35.1 and below, when replying to a thread or starting a new thread, text would be correctly displayed like this: -

In Firefox 36, once you hit the right hand edge of the box that you type your post into, rather than it automatically moving down to the next line, it just continues on to the right and a horizontal scrollbar appears, like this: -

I have tried upgrading to the latest beta version of Firefox 37, but the problem remains. I have also tried restarting Firefox in safe mode, with all extensions disabled, but it's the same. As soon as I downgrade back to 35.1 again, it works fine.

Is this a bug in Firefox? Is there an advanced setting I can change somewhere so that this doesn't happen?

Thanks!

Since a recent update (to 55? - I'm now on 56.0b5), pages from NaturalNews.com are whited out down the middle. The page appears normally very briefly when it first loads, then the white-out superimposes. The pages show fine on Chrome.

This article: http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-08-15-censorship-alert-mozilla-planning-kill-shot-for-entire-independent-media-by-blocking-all-non-approved-news-in-the-firefox-browser.html - which of course I had to read on Chrome - suggests Mozilla is intending to decide what I should not be able to read on my favorite browser.

I've been using Mozilla since near the beginning - years before Firefox - and I feel deeply betrayed that a browser I have used continuously for decades and often championed is apparently doing something so despicable. I hope there is a good explanation.

I'm on a desktop PC running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro with latest updates. Firefox is 64-bit too.

Two days ago Firefox upgraded itself to 57 (Quantum). It worked fine, although without some add-ons that I depend on, and with a difficult-to-read color scheme. Tonight Windows updated itself and Firefox stopped working. The window minimized itself through a series of sequentially smaller windows until it was apparently just a few pixels wide and high. When I try to re-open Firefox I can OCASIONALLY get it to open a very small window and tried restoring it to its default state, but that didn't improve anything.

I'm running a Dell XPS 8700.

If you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them. I've been using Firefox for more than 10 years and I really like it, but this "upgrade" has been a fiasco for me. I'm currently using Edge, and I've downloaded Chrome which right now looks like my new browser.

Nothing I've tried in the past *year* has been able to prevent this, so it's gone through a few revs without fixing. Even restarting FF every half-hour does nothing to help the problem if a background instance began running 31 minutes ago.

Win 8.1 ... FF 40.0.3

I just got assaulted by the new Quantum 57.0.4 it is BLINDING. I am shouting sorry as I can barely see. My eyes are smarting and tearing and I can hardly read the tabs, the contrast between the dark tab and the name of the tab in a sort of muted white or grey makes the print difficult to read -- and any red fades out (as is natural in the dark, it's physics). So the screen is extremely bright, like white light, and the tabs are extremely dark, the letters obscured, any red logos tend to be muted into the dark, and I have a sudden splitting headache. I was fine with the previous Firefox. I just checked Safari -- I'm fine. I think this is a health issue.

I am using Linux (ZORIN) n have reinstalled it several times but it always remember d previous settings, why is it like that? That is not a feature but a hassle. Please help me, I don't want 2 have 2 reinstall d OS again..... confused!

Why the default fonts are looking so ugly? It is working fine on Edge. I am on Windows 10.

Please find the screenshots bellow.

Hi,

After I use the windows feature that makes you go to the desktop, my firefox becomes like this: https://gyazo.com/3afaba7065fb5b34a9efdc0833bc60b2 (also attached)

Any suggestions how I can fix this?

Best,

Jamil

Version 61.0.1 being used (64-bit). Win 7. Menu being cut in half. Can be reset by toggling menu on and off, but it comes back. Saw the reference to similar problem in 2017 question that was attributed to "Tab Groups" extension, but I do not have that ext. The only remotely related extension I have is Vertical Tabs. And although I love that extension, I actually had it disabled because I have been using Web Developer docked to the side for the last few days and the problem is still happening. So definitely not it.

Other than the super-duper Vertical Tabs, I have: Decentraleyes, Disconnect, Flag Fox, Font Finder, Google Search Link Fix, Nimbus, NoScript, Turn-off-the-lights, and U-Block Origin. Pretty basic add-ons. Theme is default, and no other ones loaded. (I'm very boring). Open264 and Widevine plugins only. Images attached.

As waiting for it to revert can take hours, it could take well over a week to test all of my extensions. So I figured I would check to see if anyone else had similar problems and figured something out.

It's not a huge deal. Like I said, you can get it back simply by turning the menu off and on. But it does revert and it gets annoying as I do use the menu quite a bit, and I usually end up clicking on the tab instead of the menu item. So I always have to get it to its normal size.

Anyone else having this problem?

I have created many html files with the firefox function "save as Web Page, HTML only". 1. When I call up these files, firefox makes the PATH the tab title, but I would like to have the file name as tab title by default. 2. Same if I bookmark these files that the file name is displayed as tab title by default. I use tab utilities and am well aware of rename tab - I would like to have the file name as tab title by default - renaming thousands of html files is takes a lot of time. Thanks for your help!
