Firefox Community Forum

I have had Refdesk.com as my home page for years. Firefox has now decided that it cannot find that site. Please help

Home Page desktop bookmarks gone. Recent updates to both my deskyop (win 11) and laptop (win 10+) has erased all my desktop bookmarks. I tried numerous setting in Mozilla but still nothing. How do I get them back ?

Translation, may not be fully in line with your standard wording. The original message, in Swedish, below.

"When I seek information with Firefox, since some time I always get this error message from AVG: "Threat secured, We prevented your sonnection to thai.rontyig.come since it is adnagerous website. Threat category; URL.Blacklist"

Even when I search for AVG, the same msg is shown. If I use Chrome or AVG Secure browser, there is no error msg.

"När jag söker en uppgift med Firefox får jag sedan en tid alltid upp ett felmeddelande från AVG: ” Hot Säkrat Vi förhindrade din anslutning till thai. rontyig.com eftersom det är en farlig webbsida. Hotkategori: URL:Blacklist ” T,o,m, om jag söker på AVG visas samma spärrmeddelande!

Om jag t.ex. använder Chrome eller AVG Secure browser

Kind regards Ulf Hj.

Hello, I'm having trouble using the built in VPN, once I press on it and do everything (connect with my account etc) it doesn't let me use it, it still tells me to do everything again. I was wondering how I could fix this issue and use it.

When I try to attach several (more than three) small email sized jpeg files, my Yahoo email tries to load them, then re-load them, and ultimately gives a splash screen, that says, "Cannot be saved, as a draft", and locks up. The files are 1mb, or less, This was never a problem, before Firefox, and Yahoo issued "new, improved" versions, of their software. If I only attach about three files, at a time, let it attach them, then attach more files, it will attach them with no issue, and I can send the email. This does not seem to be a problem with other browsers.

The new 157 release broke something when pasting a webpage into OneNote.

Previously when pasting, the complete URL was appended at the end of what was pasted: (web page text and images) Pasted from <https://earthsky.org/tonight/longest-days-of-year-accompany-the-december-solstice/?mc_cid=1422e68d3a>

In 157, only the top web address is pasted: (web page text and images) From <https://earthsky.org>

Having the entire URL to the actual pasted page saved a step. Now I have to copy the address out of the address bar and copy it to OneNote manually.

Reduce the width of the form and then open the top menu bar, or trigger and display the menu bar. The maximize and close buttons on the top right side will not be fully displayed. You can refer to the GIF animation below.

For the last several weeks, one of my computers when it updated to the new settings menu (version 156ish?), it has lost the ability to maintain some of the synced profile settings. For example, I have a couple websites that I list in the exceptions to not have Firefox clear the cookies, and I additionally have the clear cookies and site data check box enabled so that every other website I visit clears upon exiting. This is the setting combination I have utilized for years to keep the cookies from only 2 websites and clear out everything else.

On one of my computers, I'm able to add the exception, and as long as I do not close Firefox, the website exception settings stick. However, as soon as I exit Firefox, and open it back up, the settings clear themselves again, and I have to manually enter the exceptions again. This is very frustrating because one of the sites that I keep the cookies on the exception list has multiple different logins saved so that I don't have to manually re-login to every time I open Firefox.

I have attempted a refresh, and that did not fix the problem. I have fully uninstalled Firefox, manually deleted the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder contents, reinstalled foxfire and this too does not fix the problem.

The weirdest part of this whole issue is my laptop, does not have this problem and the exceptions are sticking so I know that this setting combo works. Additionally, I have tried unchecking the clear cookies and site data box and this too is not allowing the exceptions to stick.

I have also tried re-syncing my account to pull the settings from my laptop and this too is not working.

This experience is on Firefox 157.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro 26H2

Thanks for your time and please advise as to how to fix.

My system • Windows 11 on a Dell laptop. • Firefox Version 157, my default browser. • Norton 360 Standard. • Two Firefox profiles; the warning appears in both. • Firefox Troubleshooting Mode does not eliminate the warning https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sslkeylogfile-warning?utm_source=chatgpt.com

What I have observed The warning appears on Firefox network-error pages, including when the internet is disconnected or I enter an incorrect URL. A particularly reproducible example occurs after I successfully log in to Kotak Net Banking and select Help → Raise a Query. Firefox then displays a connection/privacy warning associated with the embedded page. I do not see the same behaviour in Chrome or Firefox Private Browsing when performing the equivalent Kotak steps. Troubleshooting already completed 1. Norton Safe Web HTTPS scanning was disabled and re-enabled without resolving the issue. 2. QUIC/HTTP3 scanning, WebSocket Protocol Scanning and DNS/DoH scanning were individually tested without resolving it. 3. Firefox Enterprise Policies are inactive. 4. I found no SSLKEYLOGFILE entry in either Windows User Variables or System Variables. 5. Norton and Dell malware scans found no malware. 6. The warning also occurs when I connect through a mobile phone hotspot rather than my usual BSNL connection. Questions for Mozilla's technical contributors 1. Does this warning establish that Firefox detects SSLKEYLOGFILE, or could another mechanism produce the same message? 2. Can the variable be inherited by Firefox from a parent process or injected into its running process even when it is absent from the Windows User and System Variables? 3. What is the safest way to identify which process or security product is setting it on Windows 11? 4. Is there a known interaction between Firefox 157 and Norton 360 Standard that could explain this behaviour? 5. What evidence should I collect to distinguish a Norton issue from a Firefox issue without disabling security protections or modifying Windows settings? I am not looking to disable security features indiscriminately. I want to identify the actual cause and, if Norton is responsible, determine the precise setting that needs attention. I would particularly appreciate a response from a contributor with Windows networking, Firefox TLS or security-software diagnostic experience. Thank you.

Is it really not possible to adjust the font size? I found no setting for that. I only can cheange the text size of webpages, but not for title or menueor other thing a the top of the firefox window. These are readable with thunderbird, but not with firefox after I changed to a new laptop with higher resolution. Size of elements should be measured in points, mm or inches an not in pixels, as pixel sizes are depending on HW. The attached image shows the comparison between thunderbird and firefox.

I have a Mini PC connected to my TV. I use the Top Sites shortcut feature to remind me of which TV shows I'm streaming. Each time I complete an episode, I edit the Top Site and change the URL to the next episode, so that, when I come back and hit the shortcut -- it keeps my place in the series.

This all worked perfectly until the recent Windows desktop build of 157.0.1. Now, when I edit the shortcut and click save, it doesn't Save the edit. Instead -- it creates a duplicate shortcut in my bottom row.

It doesn't matter which Top Site I edit -- they all do it.

Can anyone duplicate this bug?
