cbc gem is a Canadian comedy/video program (cbc.gem.ca) which I have enjoyed for years. But recently, they require the subscriber to allow TRACKING in order to enhance their viewing experience. Since I don't allow TRACKING on my FireFox browser .... you guessed it. I can't login. The ribbon only says "loading..." continuously, no error message, just "loading..."

This is an exact copy of a question with the same title by Steve Ediger, of August 2022, now archived.

Firefox has my credit card information and it shows up in a window when I go to pay for something, but when I click on the credit card I want to pay with, the details appear on the form but get removed almost instantly.

I am in UK. It was working until recently.

None of the earlier answers have helped.

I am getting the below message when trying to log into the EFTPS site. I have never had this issue before.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.eftps.gov because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

www.eftps.gov has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I recently had to have my harddisk replaced as it had become corrupted. The technician did not reload Firefox or Thunderbird. I hope this can be done as a restore so that I find my bookmarked and favourite websites and my e-mails

When I try to sign in with username and password, Firefox is demanding that I "restore facial recognition" or fingerprint. But I am using a desktop PC. With neither a camera nor touchpad. Before asking for the above, I was instructed to insert some kind of key into my computer. I 'm stumped. Is there something I can turn off? Or on? to avoid these steps I can't take? Thanks y'all.

Hello, I received an email from you asking me to change my Firefox password for account security reasons. When I changed it, all the data synced in Firefox with my email was deleted. This upset me greatly because I lost important data and saved websites. Please restore the deleted data. Thank you.

I have been using 1Password for years. Since the last update on Firefox, now none of the passwords will load into pages/logins. I am logged into 1Password and there's the normal window popping up but I can't click on my username or password. In Settings it looks as though I've selected the option for it to auto-fill, but it no longer does. Help!

why does firefox blocks incoming http conection to localhost:8080 when I try to obtain a google oauth2 token using oauth2.py ?. The Google server returns the token via http to loaclhost:8080 and the port is blocked by firefox.

Firefox lets me build elaborate hierarchies of bookmarks, just as a modern file system lets me build elaborate hierarchies of files. Once a bookmark exists, though, I can't find a way to tell what folder it's in. In contrast, once a file exists, it's easy to tell what folder it's in. In Windows, for example, I open a File Explorer window and search for the file by name, then right-click>Open file location to open the folder that contains the file. File Explorer's address bar shows the whole path to the folder.

If I find a bookmark through the Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks window's search box, the window gives no clue to where the bookmark is. If I display its properties with Bookmarks>Edit Bookmark, it shows what folder the bookmark is in, but it gives no clue to where that folder is. If the folder's name is unique, an I created it, I can probably figure out where it is. But if the name is something generic like Pending, it's hopeless. I could have 193 Pending folders in different places.

Is there any way to find a Firefox bookmark's location?

I realize this is in a beta OS, but I imagine it'll need to be addressed at some point.

Anywho, when using vertical tabs, the left side expand/collapse button lives underneath the close, minimize, full-screen OS buttons.

I have been watching YouTube for years, issue free. This week I was blocked, as my computer may be blocking ads and thus violating You Tubes policy. How can I find and disable ad block programs/ extensions, thus allowing me to get back on You tube. I can recognize an outright program, but do not knew if extensions are in play that are not obvious to me. THANKS

Hello

One morning about a week ago I woke up and opened my computer. Some update has probably been installed, and all the tab groups that I have diligently organized and saved - disappeared!

The tabs disappeared and all the sites saved within them disappeared also.

Please your help

i use Firefox on an iMac running Sequoia 15.5 I can print everything except when I go to a Merrill Account and try to print . How can I prints without having to go to Safari?

Hi there all!

I have been using these Add-on's for years and suddenly this week they 'dropped off' - note the greyed out ones that no longer work. I did report the add on's via the button inside to the developers as potentially broken but I'm not sure how I would hear anything back from them about that. After about 4-5 days now they are still not working. I'm unsure why they are greyed out, and the others are not - why these stopped working and the others ok. Here are the screen shots of the ones I'm referring to! They were *VERY GOOD* add on's! I would super love them back.

If you have any advice please let me know.

Thank you.

every week firefox sign out my accounts WHYY YOU KEEP DOING THIS I DIDNT PRESS ANYTHING TO SIGNOUT STOP DOING THAT OR I WILL NEVER USE FIREFOX AGAIN . ITS A WASTE OF TIME TO KEEP SIGNING IN EVERYWEEK

I got my mother a new PC. I'm trying to sync Firefox data from the old PC to the new PC. My mother does not have a smart phone.

This isn't syncing PC to smart phone. It's syncing PC to PC. I thought just entering the username/email address and password on the new PC would do it, but it isn't.

[There are still a lot of people who don't have a smart phone and will never understand one.] [If I use my smart phone, it will sync from my data, not my mother's]
