Firefox Community Forum

i get the message "the bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem" I have tried all the help i can find and gone through Gemini AI recommendations and i am still left with a purple circle with a plus sign in it. Repaired Firefox and no change, removed Firefox and re-installed no change.

Hello, I am trying to add extensions from addon.mozilla.org, and any one that I click "Add to Firefox" shows this error code:

"Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt."

A few months ago, I was able to run extensions no problem (For the ad blocker) until my Firefox application updated automatically and it no longer works. My Firefox continues to update automatically since then and I am not able to use any extensions unfortunately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been having to use Edge in the meantime, but I would prefer to use Firefox.

Thanks, Ethan

I am happy that FF has added great PDF capabilities. I have a problem with signatures. When I add my signature as an image, the result is a very poor resolution / quality signature image. Adobe Reader inserts the signature as a very high resolution / quality image.

Is there any update / solution to this? FYI I am using the same signature image but FF makes it BW and poor quality while Adobe Reader maintains the color and resolution.

The news keeps coming halfway up on my screen when I turn on Firefox. I have (under customize your homepage) turned off "Show news and interests" and "Trending on Bing". I have also tried refreshing Firefox and a couple of other things. What can I do?

My bank had me reinstall firefox. NOW I keep getting messages to create a new user because it shows I have previously logged in on a more recent version. I had used a version of 60 something and now I have something in the 40's (140.16.0 .Windows 11) I really hesitate to change users because I do not have a clear picture of what I will lose. Like bookmarks and saved stuff.

I would like to just stop the messages.

I can not access my on line credit account...Bank stated that it is a fire fox problem...Bank just updated there site recently...I had no problems until now...Forced to use edge now, which i do not want to use...

I haven't been able to login to Bank of America since July 13. I reported the issue a couple of times. Today I was unable to logon to my Con Edison account. Earlier in the month it worked. I cannot report this site in your help system. It locks on the description page. Does any one work on these issues? I'm concerned that more and more sites will not support Firefox in the future. Firefox was named after Ailurus fulgens, the Red Panda. It is an endangered species. Will Firefox become an endangered browser?

Hello,

I have noticed in the last month or so a new phenomenon. I regularly need to access such platforms as Microsoft Ads, Google Ads and Google Analytics. Previously with my FireFox VPN turned on I had no issues. Now I cannot access these sites unless I turn off the VPN. I think there was a FireFox update not long ago. Should I be experiencing this issue or is there a resolution to this problem?

Thanks Andrew

I can't write Bengali fonts in Firefox. I tried several ways to fix it, but I couldn't. On Opera browser it's working good with Bengali Typing. In Firefox it's not working. I have tried to write আমার সোনার বাংলা it's going to like this (‘‘্রও েরনসমfv h১৥#৪% ). When I paste Bengali writing from other source it's working good like this আমার সোনার বাংলা. How can I fix this issue ?

I already went into safe mode but I had the same problem. I can get into my bank account but try to go to BillPay and it is loading forever. AT SwansonVitamins I do search for a product and it comes up with blank page and will not show any data or do anything. Nextdoorand Picknsave do not come up at all. Some other sites work but are very slow. I can get to those sites with Chrome.

Youtube is lagging, Fullscreen mode is faulty; the time is incorrectly displayed at the top of the page. Since the last update, I keep getting a "recapture" message proving I'm not a robot.

What's going on in Firefox right now? Can anyone help figure out what's happening? Are others experiencing the same or similar problems?

For the built-in VPN, I'm able to add websites to exclude either manually in the settings (Built-in VPN > Manage website settings) or from the webpage itself using the VPN icon. However, even when I save, if I close and re-open Firefox, the list is cleared and I have to re-add everything.

Is this normal or is there some other setting I'm missing?

Thanks.

For my work, i have to download a lot of files. Some of them I then have to subsequently save and upload later on. Previously, I was able to download all the files to one folder, and then, if I would have actual need of them, I could just do CTRL + S, give them a name and save them to a different folder. When pressing CTRL + S it would always remember which folder I had saved it in last, but now it automatically keeps going back to the 'saves files to' folder.

This will end up costing me at least an hour a day more because now every time I have to manually switch folders I want to rename and save a file. PLEASE let this go back to the way it was.
