Firefox Community Forum

I use a portal for work and am required to download a variety of documents for specific tasks. When I download certain documents, predominantly Word documents, they are saved with a file name that ends with the word attachment, e.g. 'abcd.docx,attachment'

This does not happen with any other browsers that I use and I know the obvious answer is to use those but I'm interested as to whether anybody else has had this problem and whether they have found a solution?

When i right click on something in my browser the menu shows up but none of the options have text. For example i can still open a link in a new tab but there's no text for the option i just have to know witch is witch. This is exclusively an issue with the browser, right clicking on my desktop or on another application produces all the expected menu option with no error.

Hi there I have the problem that my firefox can save any file or download on my other drives since they arent event show as an option. I did a little research and read that by default in linux for security reason was unable to, but asking in the official forum of my distro (cachyos), they can save thing in other drives with no problems.

So i wanted to know why i dont?, my firefox installation is native at installing the dristro and having all perimission but it cant see my drives except the one is installed to (and where my OS is).

The only thing different i actually do is the folder where my current user info is saved, i moved the files from my user but with the files i had from my old windows session to impor my saved sites, favorites, etc.

Can you help me to be able to save files or images on my other drives?, thank you for time.

Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.

But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)

Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation

TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.

What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.

Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?

Thanks

Edit: Using Windows, no other problems with storage on the 1TB Samsung ssd

I am trying to pull up the list of the subscriptions and auto payments I have on Paypal. All the other pages on the site display correctly. Microsoft Edge displays the page correctly.

I have attached two screenshots, the first is how Firefox shows it. the second is the correct display using Microsoft Edge.

Note the correct page shows a lot of offers on the right side with the list of payments icons on the left in proper form. The incorrect screenshot does not show the right side offer material at all . The layout of the text and icons are nothing like they should be.

Changing the magnification does not help as my other Paypal pages are affected and the result is just a smaller version of the incorrect page with the icons still offset and is not usable for it's intended purpose.. Also the text is to small to read.

When I first try to open the page it flashes momentarily on the correct view, then immediately goes to the bad view. Is it possible there is some "locking" factor missing when I get the flash display?

This started within the last 6 months. I suspect something about the page is not on the same criteria as Firefox. If no one else has seen this then I must have something inconsistent with that page.

I have been using Firefox for a long time without any problem. An update was loaded onto my laptop and now when I try to sign on through my iPhone when I go to menu, there is no selection to sign in. And as a result, I am pretty much dead in the water.

This morning when I started up Firefox it had a pop-up about the new profiles feature, asking to create a new profile. Just out of curiosity I clicked the create profile button to see what the interface would look like. Since I didn't actually want to create the profile I hit the delete button, but nothing happened. So I closed the window. I then tried delete the new profile (then called "Profile 1") by hitting the trash can from the choose profiles screen. Still nothing happens. At this point my original profile window is still open, but I close everything to restart Firefox in hopes that it will allow me to delete this profile I never wanted to begin with.

The Choose profile window comes up, I select original profile and nothing happens. I can open the new "Profile 1", which I have since labelled "Bad Profile".

D:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles doesn't appear to have my original profile anywhere.

I'm deeply concerned this beta feature I never asked for has deleted my original profile when it should have deleted the new profile.

Feature suggestion for Firefox browser auto-hide toolbar & vertical tabs (column): The top toolbar & vertical tabs stay hidden and are revealed (expanded) when the cursor touches the top (toolbar) and left (vertical tabs) edge of the column when collapsed.

I am on Windows 10 Pro (extended to Oct 2026) and use the Firefox profile manager at startup since I have more than one profile. Today (11/12/2025) I attempted to start Firefox and the profile manager window would not populate. the window was blindingly white on my dark background. I closed and restarted umpteen times but it refused relentlessly. I was about to uninstall firefox and then decided to see if I had actually installed it on any of my mobile devices. And indeed I had it on my ancient Apple iPhone 7+. And it was synced! I refreshed the sync and indeed it picked up my most recent activity from last night. All tabs were synced. To make sure I had another synced copy I also installed it on my iPad. I synchronized this too and suddenly my desktop browser started working again.

I don't know what caused the lockup of the Profile Manager but I am afraid it might happen again. What causes this and what can I do to regain control without having to reinstall? I am a researcher and I have over 1000 tabs open.

On many of the sites that require hardware key for 2FA, what I should get is a prompt to press the Yubikey button, but instead I get a technical error. This has happened with logging into Google and Vanguard. Both use Yubikey as a 2FA.

I did not encountered this issue on Micrsoft Edge. I am running this on Windows 11 24H2. I believe it used to work.

I was experiencing that one bug that locks the sidebar from opening on hover (even with the option enabled) and I was somehow able to change the size of the sidebar while trying to get it to start working again (IDK why I didn't just close and reopen my browser because I know that fixes that) and now my open on hover sidebar is the biggest it can go and it is genuinely unusable. I can't change the size of it while it's on the open on hover option, but changing it back to the fixed/static sidebar and then editing the size does not carry over when I re-enable the open on hover option. Objectively, this is really dumb and kind of hilarious. I know I am dumb for this.

Recently I added new profile to Firefox. Since then History tab does not work. There is no pages in History tab. In settings History is enabled. This function works properly in my original profile.

On screenshot you can see that I opened at least one page, but in history there is still no pages. How I can fix it?
