Firefox Community Forum

There are times where I like having the title bar appear on my laptop display of a webpage. Other times I want to take a screenshot of selected page content, and the title bar just obstructs ability to fit the bottom line or two of the page content I want to screenshot. Yes i know I can reduce the zoom size of the page display itself, but sometimes (often) due to the page layout's CSS, this results in both too-small type for me to comfortably read AND even with the text reflow, it's not enough to reveal the extra bottom of page content I am trying to capture.

The Firefox UI controls are very robust and well-appreciated how much customization can be had, but still, the number of steps required to go in and turn Title Bar off is just way too many for quick and efficient workflow -- especially when after getting the screenshot I want, I will want to just turn Title-Bar back on. Surely there must be a way to create an icon option that lives next to Home, Bookmarks, Downloads, Refresh whose function is to actuate a quick 1/2 second toggle off, then a quick toggle back on?

I switched to using Firefox about six weeks ago, from Chrome. At first, it all worked perfectly. Now, I have a 100% reproducable problem: YouTube "short" videos never play. It will display the video player in the proper aspect ratio, and displays the overlayed text from the video's thumbnail and other meta data, but the actual playing of the video fails with a message typically like:

An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: C8SVj-KCLVM2m_DW)

Windows 11, current patched. on serious Core I9 system with 32 GB of ram, fast video card, etc.

Regular YouTube videos display perfectly. Using Google Chrome browser works perfectly.

The help message talks about clearing cache, but I can't seem to find that. I can see how to delete site-specific cookies and data. I really don't want to clear all cookies for all sites.

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048

Hi, A few weeks ago, I wanted to sync my open Firefox tabs between my old laptop and my new one. I signed in to my Mozilla account on both computers, and the sync process worked just fine. For weeks, my synced tabs appeared in my Firefox sidebar on my new laptop, and all was good. However, the other day, I had to restart my computer a few times, and when I open Firefox again, my synced tabs were gone. On my Mozilla account page, it still says that I am signed in to my old laptop. How can I see my synced tabs again? Thank you very much for your help!

For almost a week now, I keep getting a message on a site I've been going to for more than 10 years (deviantart) when I use firefox on my computer, which I am not having these issues accessing using Safari on my phone.

The request ID changes each time.

The steps I have taken so far:

• Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions (everything was fine)
• Reloaded page using Shift+ Left Click to bypass cache
• Reloaded page with Ctrl + F5
• Started Firefox in Troubleshoot mode to assure it wasn't my extensions (I only use ublock but better safe than sorry)
• I disabled extensions after reloading in usual mode

What steps are next after these basic troubleshooting? I was hoping to use that site to share creations with friends.

Hi! I'm running Linux Mint right now, but this also happened on Windows, I copied the profile from Windows so I suspect that is likely why.

When I go to about:logins, I see none of the accounts listed. Even when I input a search in the search box, nothing. I don't know what could be causing this. See attached screenshots. Don't worry, there's no concern of leaking account details, because they aren't showing up.

WSJ did some sort of update and now things are broken in the regula browser. I've tried disabling all my extensions, putting multiple sites on the cookies exceptions list and turning off protection in regular mode and it does not work. Private Browsing works out of the box no issues.

The main way to know if you have issues is do you see the stock ticker near the top of the webpage, your name with account info, and some drop down windows. The Live Update sub-websites are broken. I think WSJ on some sites like those thinks I'm not logged in or can't verify I'm logged in.

Its weird. I've had similar things on FireFox before, what is regular mode doing? Why does Private browsing work? Can I somehow "force" the same settings in a regular windows on a per Website basis? This doesn't seem possible at this point.

I am using latest firefox developer edition. After firefox updated automatically, I found that I lost toolbar customization settings. I reconfigured everything, but the next day when it updates I lost the settings again. It seems that there is a bug in Firefox. How can I fix this? If this is a bug, when will it be fixed?

Does the Mozilla VPN have an easy to use "on" "off" switch? I want better access to streaming services

But I also want to browse and easily log in to banking, health, and financial sites where i have accounts that are protected by recognizing my current IP address to allow me access to my accounts.

From reading information about the numerous VPN providers, it seems like having a VPN might make it difficult to log in to financial, medical record sites etc.

hi and thanks --

all of a sudden, for no particular reason i can think of, my e-mail (gmail) has quit autofilling e-mail addresses when i type someone's name as a recipient. i haven't changed any settings. one day it worked, the next day it quit working.

help!

I've been trying to locate the cause of this for the longest time and I can't. I have my Macbook hooked up to a Displaylink dock. Everything is running the most recent versions, the Mac, Firefox, etc. Randomly the windows will all show as they're not active and I'm not able to make any of them active. I can't click links, I can't exit out using the mouse, but hiting enter on the exit prompt will work. Have you seen this before? Do you know what is causing it or how to fix?

I have been using the Firefox Color extension for a while with no problems. I noticed that in the last few days, when I restart my computer, the theme resets. Specifically, when I first open Firefox, I very briefly see my saved theme but after just a second it reverts back to the default colors/theme.

When I go to the Firefox Color page, my theme is still saved and once I click on it, it takes effect until I restart the computer.

This only started in the last few days and I know there was a Firefox update (132) as well as a Windows update both in the last week or so.

I'm using Windows 10 Home, version 22H2, OS build 19045.5011.

Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be causing it?

I am trying to access the link "https://www.sorn.service.gov.uk/". This is the address of a click through from the webpage "https://www.gov.uk/make-a-sorn".

I am on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.5011, using Firefox 132 (64-bit), not running Kaspersky, I do have AdGuard (7.19.0 (4853) (CL 1.16.44, DL 2.5.41 )) and Malwarebytes (4.6.17.334) on my system along with their browser adons. I have attached some screenshots, hope they are useful.

Please help.

I currently can't stream anything, and this keep getting this message: Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. will be installed shortly,but it never installs.

I have a macbook air and am currently running macOS Sequoia version 15.0.1.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, removing extensions, clearing cache and data, unchecking and then checking back again the reproduce drm protected content but nothing has worked.

Hello,

Just today my UI elements went missing. For example I cant see my bookmarks on the bookmark toolbar, new tab sign disappeared. Addons are not the issue, I have refreshed multiple times with no addons installed. The bookmarks are all there, except somethings messing with the firefox. Started in safe mode, but in vain. Checked the group policy in the registry but nothing out of the ordinary. I deleted the policy, did a fresh install and still the problem persists. Tried switching hw acceleration on/off as well.

Any help is appreciated, I never had any problems with firefox before.

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b2 (64-bit) and noticed that the only way to open a new tab is to click on the pancake icon and select new tab. The "+" icon in the tab bar is missing.

I also noticed that there is no way to reload the page (especially doing a hard reload). This is a major issue when making updates to websites and wanting to see those edit. Clicking in the address bar and then on enter will reload the page, but does not do a hard reload, so the cached version of the page is displayed, not the updates.
