Over the past few weeks, tabs keep crashing several times a day. It happens most often on X, but this morning, a tab crashed while completing an online order (grrr). My computer is up to date, cookies, cache and history cleared regularly and today I "refreshed" Firefox. In less than an hour, tab crashed again. What is going on???

I'm very close to changing browsers.

In the "General" section of my Firefox Settings, it states that "Your browser is being managed by your organization."

When I click on that, it shows the word "Certificates" under Policy Name, and "ImportEnterpriseRoots" under Policy Value.

Is this something that Firefox installed, or is it something a third-party (like my former company) installed on my computer.

Also, would this possibly slow down my computer?

Thanks for your feedback.

As a Chinese user, I am very dissatisfied with the inability to use the translation function. I request to add a Chinese option to the Firefox translation package. Thank you!

after creating a new profile, and copying everything in the root directory to the new profile, including search.json.mozlz4, the default search engine setting does not get transferred over and is still set to google

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Was told to ask new question off of this tread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1314940#question-reply

I have similar issue. Have file that has all the tab history, but can't get Firefox to recognize or use it. The scrounger pulls up everything so the file is good it seems.

Why can't, or how do we get Firefox to use it?

Thank you

The reader view is an amazing tool that helps declutter websites and make them easier to read. However, this experience is ruined by having a super bright white background that to my knowledge I can't make black. I tried the setting that disables overriding the colors but it still remains white. Any ideas why that happens and how to change it?

I have Firefox on two Windows computers and was wondering what is the proper way to sync them.

One computer is not used often and I want to sync Firefox on it it with the Firefox on the computer I use daily so I want the Firefox that does not have the updated files updated using the Firefox data files on the computer I use daily and not the other way around. So what is the correct procedure to do this other than to make sure the Firefox program version is updated on the computer that is not used often?

Thanks

Hi,

On https://replit.com/login, no captcha is visible, and login in says "Your captcha token is invalid. Please refresh the page and try again.."

I tested with LibreWolf 128.0.3-2 and FF 129.0.2.

With Chrome, it works.

Hi,

I am developing a website of my own and in that website I want to implement a handler for Content-Security-Policy violation reports. I want to test if this handler works as I expect and therefore I have configured a webpage such that is will report CSP violations (I see them in the web developer console) and I want to have them sent to my application's CSP-violation handler.

In my test environment, the application is running on localhost. I have run my web application both on HTTP and HTTPS (with a self-signed certificate), but in neither case Firefox is sending any reports to my application.

My CSP headers look as follows: Content-Security-Policy: report-uri http://localhost:5281/csp-violation;base-uri 'none';default-src 'self';form-action 'none';frame-ancestors 'none';report-to csp-viol;script-src 'unsafe-eval' 'nonce-9FuQ3NuVoW66DT1ZU4w9EPSymnHE1/hg';style-src 'unsafe-eval' 'nonce-9FuQ3NuVoW66DT1ZU4w9EPSymnHE1/hg' Reporting-Endpoints: csp-viol=http://localhost:5281/csp-violation Report-To: {"group":"csp-viol","max_age":10886400,"endpoints":[{"url":"http://localhost:5281/csp-violation"}]}

When I run my application using HTTPS, all HTTP in the endpoints will also be HTTPS.

I have verified that when I post something by hand to http://localhost:5281/csp-violation, my handler is executed, so that is not the issue. I believe that Firefox is just not sending the reports. Is there a way to configure Firefox such that it will send the CSP violation reports to my application when run on HTTP(S) on localhost?

Sincerely, Marcel

This is the second time I have put this forward. Using Firefox on Windows 10, I am unable to view yahoo emails. I get a white screen with a black bar across the top. Yahoo will tell me I have "5 unread messages". If I go into Yahoo using Edge, I can view the emails (which is why I think it must be a Firefox problem, but I may be mistaken. The one response was to empty the cache and such, which I have done and it doesn't help. Does Firefox not empty its cache each time I leave the site?

If this is a Firefox/Yahoo interactive problem, I apologize - it may be something about Yahoo. I have wandered all over their support sections though, without finding a potential solution.

Thanks for any support/suggestions you can make.

Hi, on certain websites, like Steam Store and IMDB (for video game or movie/tv trailers), when I play a video but then switch tabs or minimize etc. the video immediately pauses itself, on other websites however like YouTube for example, this isn't the case and the video continues to play in the background, which is how I want it to behave for the websites mentioned above as well.

So I just wanted to ask if this is a setting imposed by the website itself, like Steam, or if it comes from the browser or maybe video player software or windows side etc. and I can change it by changing some settings or something, or is this something I can't do anything about and just have to accept as it is by unbypassable design of the website?

Thanks for any help or info.

i am using the Windows 10 PC version of Firefox, with updates set to automatic.

i've been having a consistent issue where themes won't be maintained between restarts of the application. If i set it to any theme, close the browser, and reopen it, it will show the chosen theme for about a second, and then revert to a strange non-existent theme that is a slate gray background with white text and no color accents. It will still show the selected theme as being active in the themes menu, and disabling and re-selecting the theme i want will make it reappear again.

i've been ignoring this issue thus far as it's just a cosmetic issue and i didn't care enough to go digging for a solution. However, with the 133.0.3 update yesterday, the default theme is getting messed up as well. It seems like it's mixing up the light and dark themes, as it has the grey/black background, but all the secondary text is displaying in black, meaning i can't see the text in the application menu, address bar, or bookmarks bar folders.

This issue is occurring with Mozilla themes, Marketplace themes, and custom Color themes. Does anyone know of a fix for this issue, or at the very least a fix for the black text?

I use Firefox as my browser (have since it was first release many many years and computers ago). I'm not if this is an issue with other browsers.

I can print most pages on Amazon, but some special pages I can't print. Example, I initiated a Return and when it got to the confirmation page I can not print it to have a hard copy on hand. It will show two blank pages in print preview except for text header and footer (which are checked in options), but nothing else. It will not print anything except blank pages with the headers and footers. Cleared print settings in about:support, tried printing with system dialog, tried printing it to a PDF and even tried a couple FF addons with no luck.

Certain pages on Amazon seem to inject something to prevent printing. I remember running across something similar a while back on another site and gave up. I eventually just screenshot the Amazon return confirmation page and gave up.

How do I get around this and make the page print? Is there some way to force Firefox to print what it's showing me on the page? Is my only option to screenshot it and then print the image?
