Firefox Community Forum

Youtube is suddenly not showing a full page. After scrolling down a short way, it stops and the last two rows are blank (see attachment). I let it sit for 30 minutes hoping it would load, but nothing change d. I tried another browser and it works fine. I cleared cookies and cache, but that did nothing. Thanks.

I have a profile that causes odd behavior, within the profile, and to the OS.

Regarding the profile itself:

1. I use Multiple Tab Handler, which should allow me to move tabs on the tab bar with the mouse, but it does not (see image of proper behavior)

2. Normally, i can drag this padlock button to the desktop to create a shortcut. but now, it will not move/drag (see image 2)

3. I also have a backup profile from several months ago that has none of the above symptoms. However, If I substitute it's sessionstore.jsonlz4 file with the the one from the problematic profile, all the bad behavior mentioned above re-emerges.

I know this sounds strange, but, I also get external display issues when using the broken profile. These events are random, and manifest themselves differently, so I can't duplicate them. Essentially, these snips are examples of images from the taskbar tabs, or the clock area, suddenly superimposing themselves on the top portions of the taskbar toolbar area.

This is the view of my clock area (see next image 3)

In the following image, imagine that the portion on the left, that opens the start menu, is now hidden under what looks exactly like the clock area on the right, superimposed over it (see next image 4)

Those aberrations are removed by simply moving the mouse cursor over them, but they will continue to occur in any number of variations over any area of that top toolbar.

Is there a Session Manager that will save the session, to be later restored into that previous profile, but not also pass along the corruption?

I am working on a shopify POD store. I have printify up and running. They have a placeit extension that you can access the entire library of placeit mockups within your printify product. For some reason it does not seem to work within Firefox. I can get it to work within chrome, but not firefox. Feel free to contact me and help me figure it out. The pop up allows me to enter credentials, but not connect and download to printify.

i'm trying to help NetBSD by maintaining rust for a number of NetBSD targets. As part of that, I use rust and verify that its "major packages" still build, firefox among them. Recently I found (ref. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/143904) that by default, firefox would no longer build natively on NetBSD/i386 (really i586 / i686, in 32-bit mode). I found a workaround, namely to turn off address-space layout randomization, but this indicates we are already balancing too close to the border of the 3GB per-process data segment size for comfort. A hint given there was that I could try to turn off LTO (link-time optimization), since it reportedly gives at best modest gains for considerable cost in terms of build time and VM space requirements during the build.

So... This is my first encounter with the firefox configure machinery which is different from most other similar things, and I appear to be unable to find a way to instruct the configure machinery to build without LTO. The configure script accepts `--disable-lto` (no, that is not present in the `--help` output), but evidently this option does not do what it implies: I still see rustc threads during the build which set their name to a string containing "lto".

So... "Help!"

Gmail, Calendar, YouTube either timeout, or they render in an unusable state that looks like the html engine is broken. However, bringing up firefox in troubleshooting mode is fine. Earlier today I did update Java. Otherwise no difference. Other browsers are also fine. Firefox is my default browser so this is a bit unworkable.

For now, I will use Firefox troubleshooting mode...

Thanks David

Hi, I recently upgraded my computer and as part of it had to reinstall Firefox for desktop. When I did, I noticed that none of my passwords, bookmarks, and such had transferred over. I tried hitting the 'Sync Now' button in the settings, but nothing happened. I then checked my phone as I had Firefox installed on it, and all my data was still there, and tried hitting the sync button, but nothing happened, the button just highlighted every time I hit it.

Going through the 'connect devices' route in the desktop settings, it popped up a qr code for me to scan, but the steps it outlined didn't make sense as there was no 'sync and save data' button to hit, as apparently with a recent update they removed that and folded it into the account menu - the same 'Sync' button I had tried fruitlessly before. I also noticed that no matter how many times I hit the button, it just said 'Updated 1 hour ago', indicating it was not actually syncing. Even when I changed the device name on my phone to 'Firefox Mobile' and then hit sync, my passwords and bookmarks didn't copy over, only the new name it seemed.

I then tried uninstalling Firefox from my phone and reinstalling it, and this time the option to scan came up during the install, but now my phone doesn't have any of the data I had been trying to recover. Additionally, in my Mozilla Account page it shows the desktop app, the new phone install of Firefox as 'Firefox on samsung SM-S921W', and the original 'Firefox Mobile', which presumably still has all the data I have been trying to recover with no success.

Please help me get my data back, I need my bookmarks and passwords primarily and believe they may be locked onto the 'Firefox Mobile' device, if they are stored anywhere at all. Even if there's an older partition of my bookmarks and passwords from a week past or some such that could be recovered would be greatly appreciated. Additionally I would greatly appreciate if you could make the Sync feature actually functional, as this has been rather stressful and aggravating - that data has been collecting over the past ten years, minimum, and some of it is rather critical.

Thank you for your time.

The issue that I'm having is Facebook calling is grayed out on the icons for Facebook. I have gone as far as refreshing Firefox and the two other factory restore options But neither of the three helped. I am using Microsoft Edge as a backup for Facebook video calling but I prefer Firefox for everything.

I have not found a workaround yet If you guys know of one please let me know I have contacted Facebook but they have not responded back to my my contact. The good thing is I have a work around But I would prefer my default browser get fixed ASAP.

Thank you to anyone that responds Firefox in my opinion is the best browser I hope to continue to keep using it as my default browser Have a great weekend

Sincerely GER RIT

For the past several days, I can no longer access my two hotmail.com email pages. I keep getting the message to "check back later." I tried using Edge, and it worked there. Then I tried using DuckDuckGo and Brave, and hotmail worked on both. So, this problem only exists when using FireFox which is the site I use by default.

I am interested in Firefox View, but I do not see that button on my toolbar (see attached image). When I search extensions I don't see that come up as an option. How do I add Firefox View?

Literally every single extensions I try to download says Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt. I don't know why because I just downloaded firefox.

I use the Menu Bar and discovered that when I select History and then right click one of the entries it no longer shows the small window which allows you to Open in a New Tab etc.

If I use the 3 bar option on the right hand side to Open application menu, then select History, then right click an entry, the small window I mentioned above opens as it used to when using the Menu Bar.

I have attached screenshots showing the issue when using the Menu Bar and also when I use the application menu on the right.

I have been using the Menu Bar option for years now so I can only assume that this issue has arisen after a previous update.

I am currently running Firefox 140.0.4 and this issue is there even when I disabled all themes & extensions and when I ran Troubleshoot Mode!

Hopefully a simple fix will resolve this.

See the image below, how do I prevent that black box showing up and showing anyone who uses my device my sensitive data? How is this not a common setting to be changed?

Very insecure and Horrible to have on by default. Recently switched to firefox from chrome because of security concerns but stuff like this is making me want to go back, because HOW IS THIS SAFE AND SECURE?!?!?!?

I've typed in passwords in boxes that arent really password boxes, and firefox has suggested my own password in plain sight like in the image below.

Strongly recommend firefox to not make this default and make it an accessible setting to disable because I've leaked my sensitive information to online calls because of this. This urgently needs to be addressed as a security concern. At least have a cogwheel button next to the black box to quickly disable this setting. Very very disappointed.

When I open Firefox, the master pw window opens with data showing. I can x out of the window & continue. So my data is exposed to anyone who hacks into my desktop PC. WIN 11 64-bit. Please help.

I switched my default search engine from Google to Bing. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it should be searching with Bing. But for some reason the search results are always Google. How do I fix this? I haven't refreshed Firefox yet. I was hoping to avoid that.
