Firefox has been my browser of choice for well over 20 years. I have a game I play every day (from FaceBook) just this week when I try to go to it on my laptop - it says your browser does not support WebGL. it has always opened using Firefox - this is a new error message. and the computer is only 5 months old and has Windows 11 on it. I do not want to switch to Google or Edge.

Like I said - opening the app worked every day up until about a week ago. What gives?

I have been using Google Chrome for years having set it up to open the same 8 Tabs and several bookmarks. What I liked about it was that no matter what PC I went to once I logged into Chrome I was given the same confiuration across several PCs including Linux which I am gradually moving to. However to date I just cannot get my other PC's whether Linux or Windows to do the same. What I want to know is that can I open Firefox on any other PC, login and and get the same configurantion automatically? .

A website which is supposedly safe (https , at least when opened in Edge) is shown as not safe in Firefox

Hello,

The website I log in for internet banking (https://www.sparkasse-rhein-maas.de/de/home.html) is shown as written in brackets when opened in Edge, but as www.sparkasse-rhein-maas.de/de/home.html when I open it in firefor. And Firefox tells me it's not safe when I want to log in. BUT - as I've only just discovered when I copied and pasted it in here - when copied it shows as https://www.sparkasse-rhein-maas.de/de/home.html, so safe after all? How can that be? I hope there's a good explanation.

Thanks in advance Bettina

This is a reply to WXIE about a problem I wrote about yesterday. The document i am refering to can be found here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

I am referencing Step 4 for Debian Trixie and Newer.

I got over/thru those issues and when I ran apt update I found that the package was looking for Firefox was looking in a different place than where the previous steps place stuff. I am just comping back to Unix/Sun OS/Linux and 30 years working with a different OS. I hope this document will be updated after someone actually takes the steps. I will continue learning.

An Add-on (a theme) I've been using, Graphite Grace by compilan, has been removed with the following message:

"This add-on is blocked for violating Mozzila's policies and has been disabled".

As a user, I feel I have the right to know what policies were violated, and whether the add-on was indeed malicious as well as what data may have been compromised. Where can I get that information?

In the Firefox browser, when I am on a page with only an image, it seems like Firefox does not allow me to open the ctrl-f field to type text.

I want to use this on image pages, because there are times when I need to retrieve information from an image, like the title of a book from the image of a book cover, and it is much more convenient to type out the text in the same window (alternatives would be something like writing out the text on a piece of paper and then typing it after leaving the tab, or opening some other program where I can type text, or trying to memorize the text). If I type out the text in the url field it usually shows a bunch of dropdown text that covers the image and keeps me from being able to see what I'm typing, which is why I usually use the ctrl f field to type.

Is there a setting I can change that would allow me to use ctrl-f on pages that only have an image?

edit: the best alternative I can find is to open web developer tools in the page and use the ctrl f field within the web developer tools window

1. My left-hand sidebar contained about 150 URL links, mostly not bookmarks. I have used this constantly for the last 10 years to access desired websites. 2. After installing 149.0.2 this sidebar with all links disappeared when Firefox was restarted. 3. I tried several suggested remedies such as changing profile or settings on General or Home tabs. None of these were successful. 4. I have seen a portion of my list twice, enough to believe the entire list is stored someplace. It displayed in a box on the Firefox page, but I cannot remember how I produced this list.

How do I get back to having a sidebar full of links?

I am the developer of FastF1, an open source Python package for downloading and analyzing Formula 1 race results, timing data and telemetry. The package is widely used in the fan community for independent analysis of results. For some advanced features, the addon requires users to authenticate with their Formula1/F1TV account. Since their services don't have an open login API, a companion addon is required to allow users to sign in using their browser and the official website.

I have just noticed that my developer account has been banned and the addon was blocked in Firefox. I have not received any email about this and don't know why exactly this decision was made. I'd like appeal this and reinstate my account and the addon, but I don't know how to proceed from here.

FastF1 and the companion addon are fully open source and intend no harm to users. https://github.com/theOehrly/Fast-F1 https://github.com/theOehrly/fastf1-companion

I hope this problem can be resolved.
