Firefox Community Forum

I have a 100% repro rate of Firefox redirecting linkedin.com to linkedin.cn. Unfortunately there's another problem beyond the unwanted redirection: linkedin.cn no longer exits, it has been dead for years, I literally cannot reach LinkedIn at all. It was working fine a week or two ago. How do I prevent Firefox from redirecting behind my back? I see the status message (is that what it's called) in the lower left corner "Performing TLS handshake to www.linkedin.cn" and of course it only times out. I just verified with "Web" (different browser), it connects just fine, which suggests that it's a Firefox issue, not a system wide one.

When checking out the new features the ' Learn More' link under Tab Groups directs to the article explaining Pinned Tabs, there is no way to get to the explanation about Tab Groups

The main issue is search bar readability. This problem is not present in the Nightly version. The background is the same colour as the text. Another issue is that on regular Firefox, all my pinned apps and squashed towards the bottom of the screen. Again, this problem is not present on Nightly. Finally, a problem that is present in both Firefox and Nightly, the "close tab" button in vertical tabs mode is cut off by the sides of the floating tab bar.

Numerous tabs appear whenever I open Mozilla. I have used them at some time in the past, but never all on one occasion. SOME WERE LAST USED AT LEAST SEVEN MONTHS AGO.

Related may be that sometimes when I follow a link on one website, the destination appears on my screen as a new opening of Mozilla. The previous site(s) are completely obscured

235 Hello, my bank updated its online banking service, and since then, I haven't been able to log in. It works with Edge or Chrome but not Firefox. I never keep my browsing history and have cleared the cache, so why can't I log in?

Until the most recent version(s) (at least through 148), if I have multiple windows open, the restore tab hotkey (control + shift + t) would open a closed tab in the previous window it had been closed in. Now, it opens the tab in whichever window I currently have focus on. It also used to remember the tab's previous location with regards to order among other tabs; now it opens it at the end of all tabs.

Example: I have two windows open, window A and window B. Window A has 5 tabs; window B has 10 tabs. I close tab 3 of Window B.

Old behavior: Pressing restore tab hotkey (control + shift + t) would cause the closed tab to always open in window B regardless of which window currently had focus, and would open it between tabs 2 and 4, as tab 3 again.

New behavior: Pressing restore tab hotkey (control + shift + t) will now cause the closed tab to open in whichever window has focus, A or B, and open as the last tab; for instance, if I am in window A, it will open as tab 6, if I am in window B, it will now open as tab 10, instead of tab 3.

Is there any way to restore the old behavior? At the very least, to get the windows to separate out the restore tab lists? I don't want tabs restoring to incorrect windows.

Recently updated from 148 to 152 and it has added these dropdowns to both the address and search bars (see below screenshot) that require additional clicks to get past that I do not want. Ideally I would not have these (or would maybe have the search drop down appear AFTER the search field itself).

Behavior I don't want: searches to appear in address bar. Behavior I don't want: search drop down to appear in address bar at all. I require a clear delineation in my workflow for things I have actually visited (addresses) and things I am planning to visit (searches). Behavior I don't want: search drop down to appear in search bar between address bar and search bar (one tab click should take me from address bar to search bar - now it takes two tab clicks because of this drop down).

Resolutions I have tried: Going to "Settings > Search Engine Suggestions" and completely unclicking "show search suggestions". Going to "about:config" and setting the following fields to false: browser.urlbar.suggest.searches keyword.enabled browser.fixup.alternate.enabled

None of these actually remove the dropdown entirely from either the address bar or search bar.

How do I remove these drop downs aside from downgrading back to 148?

I download my share of media using BitTorrent with Pirate Bay. Just lately, every time I attempt to download something I get redirected to a page, https://ultimatesurferprotector.com/lp5.php, that tries to sell me a VPN and I can find no way to stop this or contact them. I am happy with the VPN I have and have no interest in purchasing another. Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening? Thank you.

Sir, Unable to connect

Firefox can’t connect to the server at eforms.assam.gov.in What can you do about it?

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Note:- I have connected my pc with wifi .Kindly solve the issue please.

I am having the problem a fix was created for previously where attempts to sign in to my google account continually redirect to a request to clear cache and cookies. Have done so multiple times, still can't log in. Can log in on Chrome so definitely a Firefox-specific issue.

We have resolved an issue with Google prompting users to ‘clear cookies and site data’ when logging in. A fix has been published, via Firefox remote settings that does not require a Firefox upgrade. Users will receive the update over the next 6hrs, if you would like to update immediately simply restart Firefox.

Note: The issue was related to CHIPS being enabled in Fx131, this feature has been temporarily disabled while we resolve the issues. Users who have disabled 'Allow Firefox to install and run studies' in Privacy & Security settings will need to enable to receive the update.

I am really excited by the possibility of a built in VPN on Firefox.

However I logged in to UK BBC Channel 5 and tried to view a programme,

I was able to browse content but as soon as I pressed Play for the first series of the drama the provider picked up that I was using a VPN and shut me down.

Is this a teething problem ans will it likely be fixed?

For some time now, it is not possible to log in to Facebook. One of the following two errors is returned in a loop: if I click on any of them, the other one comes up;

1. Your session timed out Please start again.

                                           OK button

2. This page isn't available at the moment This may be because of a technical error that we're working to fix. Please try reloading this page.

            Reload page button

Clicking any of the two buttons will go to the other window in a loop.

I have tried using Firefox in Safe mode, but nothing changed. No issues on Facebook on Edge or my Samsung phone.

Thank you for helping.
