My Firefox browser always shows nine icons for sites I regularly visit. That's nice. Lately, though, icons for sites I do not want keep popping up displacing ones I do. I delete them and get my favorites back but it's really annoying. Can you stop this?

After Firefox updated my browser version to 129.0, my username and password no longer work on my credit card website. I contacted tech support at the credit card banking site through a live phone call. I told them about the upgrade and also that I can use Firefox on my iPhone to login successfully. I don't know what version is currently on my iPhone but it does work there. This problem is specifically on my Mac Mini. I also can login using same password and username on the Mac through Safari. Their tech support said the problem is with that version (129.0) Firefox web browser. What say you? Thanks.

Hi,

I have a Mac with Sonoma. Somehow a while ago I ended up with Firefox ESR, which I was told that will not be supported after September.

I am a non-technical user. While I do have Safari and Chrome, I would prefer to continue using Firefox.

Could you please let me know the steps to execute to somehow switch from the ESR version to the current normal version without loosing settings, bookmarks or ending up with problems? Thanks in advance.

A white horizontal line in the top of the screen, whilst watching movies in tv5mondeplus.com. This issue happens when installed the recent update 129.0.

Tested in other browsers and doesn't appear the white horizontal line on top.

1. Close Firefox (FF) with some tabs open 2. While FF is closed the websites are updated 3. Open Firefox, tabs reopen 4. Go to tabs

Expected: Tabs should the latest version of the website (ie the page has been refreshed)

Actual: Tabs are showing the old, previous (cached) versions of the website and not refreshing to show the latest

User has to manuall refresh each tab to see the latest version of the page

Are other people seeing this issue?

When I'm in full screen mode, The Apple, "Firefox" "File" "Edit" "View" "History" "Bookmarks" "Tools" etc menu bar shows up at the top and won't disappear. On my iMac Pro, it doesn't show up. i.e. Off.

I can't figure out what is the setting to make sure it does not appear. I went digging everywhere and can't figure it out. If you could tell me what config, etc I'm missing I'd appreciate it.

Screen shot attached to show which menu bar I mean.

My firefox is up to date: 126.0 (64-bit)

My bank has recently switched the position of 'online' and 'bank name' in its login URL. How can I delete all history for the old URLs (e.g. Bankname*) without deleting history for all non-bank-related URLs?

On certain websites I am getting scrambled text, mostly in headings and titles, not so much in body text. I have followed several tips from other posts like mine, i.e., installed Open Sans font, but that did not do it. I turned off hardware acceleration, and cleared the cache. The only thing that did work was to start Firefox in troubleshooting mode. I only have two add-ons running, Short URL and Dashlane, I doubt they're responsible for this. Any other ideas?

I just updated my iMac from Mojave to Catalina 10.15.7. I thought Firefox would provide an update to convert the esr version to the standard Firefox browser since I am no longer using Mojave, but the next update is 115.15.0esr. Is that correct? My understanding is that the esr updates are just for computers using older operating systems through Mojave. I did not update to 115.15.0esr since I am not sure if that is the right version for Catalina. Any information and assistance you can provide me is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, This is more of a nuisance than a serious problem. I am constantly getting a header message in Sharepoint "allow access to Microsoft 365 account". When I choose "allow access" I get a pop-up that lets me choose my institutional SSO account, which says I'm signed in already. This doesn't occur in Chrome (where I'm logged into my institutional email).

Does anyone know how to stop this message from popping up every 5 minutes?

I am new to Sharepoint (and not impressed!). I don't actually see any difference in its behavior whether I've allowed access or not.

thanks for any hints

Right now, the only way I can reliably switch profiles in Firefox is to go to about:profiles.

I'd like to be able to launch a profile from the terminal instead. I've tried these commands:

$ firefox -P "home" $ firefox --Profile "/Users/josh/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/o4w0riri.home-1725314907557"

both result in the dialog "Open Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?". From there, I can either refresh my profile or open in troubleshooting mode, neither of which is a desired option. If I don't specify a profile, it doesn't bring up the dialog, but it's not always the profile I want to open.

I don't want to use passkeys, and it seems that every site is checking browser support and wasting my time with passkey prompts before allowing me to log in with a password. How do I disable passkey support in Firefox?

I cannot chat on https://www.elegantthemes.com, their site says that firefox is blocking their app. I set this site in privacy exceptions, still blocking. screen shot of their message included

Could you tell me what kind of situation will result in all extensions can't use and how to solve it? Actually I want to use "IE View We", but it not works. I also try to lower my safety level of browser, or added some extensions which recommend by Firefox. It would be great if I can get a feedback in Chinese. Thank you.

Hello, I recently upgraded my iMac and have just ported everything over. Everything seems to be fine except I cannot get Youtube to load properly. Oddly if I google a youtube video it will take me to the video and play ot however I will not see comments, related vids and cannot make fullscreen.

Here are the steps I have taken so far:

1. 1 Confirmed Youtube will work on Safari
2. 2 Updated Firefox
3. 3 Cleared Cache and Cookies
4. 4 Checked the recommended performance settings option
5. 5 Unchecked the recommended performance settings option
6. 6 Confirmed videos still will not load in troubleshooting mode
7. 7 I have no active add-ons running on the browser

Any help would be great!

I've just reset my Mozilla account password after having received multiple emails with authorization codes that failed. Prior to that, my password was rejected several times and I was asked for my 'one-time recovery key' (or something close to that). I couldn't find this, assuming I actually set one up, so proceeded and accepted that I may lose some bookmarks or other account-related items. Is there more information on what might be lost?

(For what it's worth, I've had this account for a long time. I've used it at work and home. I will retire in a few months and have been changing (or deleting) existing Firefox logins to a new non-work email address, using Thunderbird as a mail client. If there are any guidelines concerning an organized approach to doing this, please point me to them.)

I've been trying to watch live sports events on SECN+ through my Hulu subscription, but I'm encountering an error message stating, "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." I discovered that Firefox is blocking the stream, while it works perfectly on Chrome. With the college football season and other sports events approaching, I’m concerned that if this issue persists, I may have to stop using Firefox, which I've relied on for over two decades. Please help me fix this issue at your earliest convenience. Thanks.

When I log in as admin to my wordpress website, firefox gets stuck in an endless reload loop.

Sometimes if I clear the browser history or open a private window, I can successfully log in and load a page - once. The page seems to load normally but there are 409 errors shown for many of the files in the developer tools.

If I reload the page again, it goes back to the endless loop.

This started when I installed a wordpress caching plugin, but the problem is specific to firefox, so I don't really know whether firefox or the plugin is actually responsible.

How could firefox be getting 409 errors when other browsers get normal 200 responses for the same resources?

Why is firefox triggering this reload loop, and is there a way I can stop it?

When I go to History and then Clear Recent History with History and Temporary File checked and the hit Clear nothing happens.

I found that I can delete the histories one by one with the Delete key.
