I am almost about to stop using Firefox. Why is it so hard to gain access to YouTube? Never have a problem with Microsoft Edge. If a fix cannot be made without jumping through a lot of hoops and steps, I will have to stop using Firefox. Fix this mess. This problem has been around now for some time. Get it fix or accept other users switching to other browsers that seem to have no problem at all getting to and using YouTube. Very Frustrating.

fake "update available" for firefox

Every time I launch Firefox a message appears on the top right corner asking to update with the following text: "Update available Download the latest version of Firefox"

I have never followed this message for I've suspected fake, but it keeps appearing, and every time more and more often along the day (at the beginning it was only once per launch). This keeps occurring in spite of updating to the latest Firefox update (103.0.2) through the "About Firefox" top left menu on my Mac.

Please advise how to get rid of this annoying message. Is this a potential hack or virus attack?

MacBook Pro 15", Late 2013 on Mac Os 10.15.7 "Catalina"

Under Windows 10, the Windows taskbar showed Firefox open windows. After migrating to Windows 11, the Windows taskbar shows all tabs opened, without grouping them by window.

I read this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1222298

but the suggested fix isn't shown in about:preferences

Is this a Windows 11 thing, or am I missing a Firefox solution?

Over the last couple months I've been experiencing issues where firefox will randomly download a 0 byte .html file (when using linux, .htm when using windows) The filename always consists of 8 alphanumeric characters along with - and _

Sample filenames: 0cvVbGQw.html I3RDa91Y.html oZYheHGy.html _qe3DE2e.html t2PU-0gd.html

The main website I experience it on is https://babylonbee.com particularly when going from the front page and click on the trending tab before the website is fully loaded, but it happens on other sites as well, which matches what other people have reported notably in /questions/1374097

When looking at "Show all downloads" it shows up as

WZvNfc6k.html 0 bytes -- moz-safe-about resources -- 19:29

Using troubleshoot mode does not prevent the issue, nor does setting dom.security.https_only_mode_send_http_background_request = false In about:config

The issue can be replicated on a clean win10 vm with a fresh Firefox 103 install and no extensions/themes which is consistent with what other people have said on the Firefox subreddit

having uBlock origin installed does not appear to make any difference

I will keep an eye on my the thread in case any more details or actions are needed to determine the cause of the issue

I went to amiunique.org (suggested even in the fingerprinting protection article) and found that using Firefox v103 is extremely uncommon as of today, nearly enough to identify my browser. I thought Firefox was supposed to spoof the version number with fingerprinting protection enabled. Does it only hide minor version numbers? That doesn't seem to cut it for fingerprinting.

Hi, I have an old mid 2011 iMac running on OS High Sierra 10.13.6. I have updated to the latest version, I restarted my computer, and Firefox crashes suddenly at least a couple of times a week, if not more. Is this a problem that can be fixed or is this just going to be the status quo now?

Thanks for any help or suggestions that may help. Mz. C

Bookmark suggestions in URL bar: can I get suggestions only for exact URLs?

In Settings, I have configured "When using the address bar, suggest..." to use my Bookmarks, and nothing else.

Let's say I have a bookmark for the URL: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/products/

If I start typing "moz", that bookmark appears in the suggestions, but the autocomplete also offers me the domain's "home" URL, https://www.mozilla.org.

I don't have that "home" URL bookmarked, so I don't want it to be suggested to me - as I told Firefox when I set "Bookmarks" as the only source of suggestions. Often when trying to navigate quickly to a bookmarked page, I assume that autocomplete will be giving me my bookmarked page, and end up accidentally going to the "home URL" instead.

So is there a setting that lets me keep my bookmark suggestions, but disable this "autocomplete with home URL" behaviour?

This isn't specific to mozilla.org: that URL was just an example.

Whenever I try and use any google website I get the PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. Occasionally the pages load up properly but 95% of the time "PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR" will occur. This is getting frustrating as other webpages are loading normally e.g. duckduckgo, amazon. As I use google primarily for browsing and work this is making firefox unusable for me at the moment. I have temporarily switch to Edge which also seems to work fine.

I've saved and can use the log-in details for a particular site, but they doesn't show up in the password list, so I cannot edit/delete them. Whilst it may not be relevant and may confuse the issue more, the reason I want to delete log-in + password is because I have to create a new account every 2-3 months, which I then save. So when loading the home page, the current and all previously saved log-ins get listed. I've tried to manually delete one when on the home page, but unlike keystroke searches which do get deleted, this one remains in the list. I suppose I could clear everything and save all the log-in details for each site again, but why are the log-ins for one particular site not showing up ?

Thanks

I am using Firefox 103.0.2 and the bookmarks colours have changed from yellow to grey. I have tried the following solutions:

1. https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html - I downloaded the .css file and copied it in the chrome folder in my profile 2. toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets - I set the preference to true.

Is there any way I can make them look yellow again?

something is wrong with this browser. I can instantly watch any video on youtube in operas, but in firefox i keep getting this annoying error. I have put effort into it to try to fix it, i've downloaded every flash and ffmpeg plugin i could find and nothing works.

i don't mean to be annoying but i keep running into problems with this browser and i don't want to just give up and use opera. why do so many things need fixing? i'm definitely not used to this.

When I go to my bank's login site, I get a message saying that I need a newer browser. I have the latest version of Firefox, and I used to be able to log in just fine, but I recently reset my browser and I seem to have lost some settings. I have tried adding an exception for this site's cookies in Settings, and I've also tried turning off enhanced tracker, but the site still doesn't work. Is there a way to tell what is broken and then fix it? Thank you.
