Firefox Community Forum

My usernames and passwords stopped autofilling even though they are still stored when I check in the Firefox Preferences. I've tried all the troubleshooting tips I saw in the forum like uninstalling and reinstalling the browser application on my Macbook Pro.

I have an extension in Firefox that automatically opens with Firefox opens. For security, how can I set it so this extension requires me to enter my password when I use it in Firefox?

Sometimes when I sign in on Microsoft Outlook's email portal - a multistep process requiring authentication on one's phone - it says: "Hang on a minute while we sign you out" and then boots me, forcing me to sign in again. For awhile this was happening only occasionally, and the workaround was to delete all cookies for Microsoft online and Office. But now this is happening more frequently, and sometimes it happens immediately after deleting the cookies. In effect, Outlook on Firefox creates cookies that then prevent it from working. And it doesn't matter whether you say yes or no to "Stay signed in?" at the end of the sign-in process.

I reached out to Microsoft tech support, and they basically said this is a Firefox issue because it doesn't happen on Chrome or Edge.

Anyone else encounter this?

When opening multiple links from a spreadsheet, FF focuses on each one before opening the next, meaning each video will begin playing, rather than waiting until I click on it. Is there anyway to make this function like chrome, where only the final tab is focused on and the rest do not play, or maybe only stay focused on the spreadsheet tab? Blocking autoplay will work, but it means I have to click to begin playing every video, which I don't want. I also already have "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" unchecked.

WhatsApp and G messages won't stay fixed anymore, which is very inconvenient because you have to link them again every time the Windows computer closes. Have tried to put them in the Multi account container, but that does not help. Is there another way to install these two programs and let them remain fix, as they used to be....?

Thank you for your help. Pedro Lenguazco-Garcia.

The issue is similar to the this"Firefox version 137 browser update gives errors in web application when submitting form - ns_error_net_empty_response, and does not load js libraries - NS_binding_aborted" But did not see any response for this issue.

Any solution as I am seeing this error only from firefox 140 esr verion prior to this it always worked for me. I checked for the solution related to " NS_binding_aborted" error on firefox but no luck did not find anything much.

I would highly appreciate for your support if you could find and tell me what is causing this error "NS_binding_aborted""on firefox 140. or else if you can tell me what is changed in firefox 140 version.

I'm a developer of a web portal for a german energy supplier based on HCL Domino. The login which uses AJAX/XHR and Dojo worked for the last 8 years and until Firefox 142. But with FF 143 it's impossible to login to the user acount. I can't recognize any error in the dev tools, The request returns status 200.

Has anything changed from 142 to 143 concerning this handling?

Thanks in advance :-)

When I do "save as " action for an image in the browser it opens dialogue window to save selected image. Unfortunately it displays files and folders in some random order, rather than my preferred order (sorted alphabetically by name, followed by sorting by type).

I can see no rhyme or reason to the way Firefox lists files and folders in the dialogue window, so every time I am saving an image I have to sort things by name and type before I can find what I want.

This is not permanent so I have to repeat this action every time I save an image.

How do I, please set application preferences? to make this setting permanent?

Hello, I'm running MacOS Sequoia 15.5 on a Mac Studio with Firefox version 143.0.1. Ever since I installed Adobe Creative Cloud, Firefox has been hanging on startup. The way I've found to temporarily resolve it is by closing the Creative Cloud software and manually killing the Creative Cloud Helper process, but I would rather not have to do this every time I start my computer. When Firefox is hanging, the 3 processes that use the most CPU are "fontd", "Firefox", and "Creative Cloud Helper". I would assume it's something to do with fonts, but I have no idea how to fix it.

When I search something in the address bar, the first result is always pre-selected, meaning that if I hit "enter" it will be issued as can be seen in the first attached screenshot.

Whereas, when I search for tabs or actions it is not the case meaning I have to hit "tab" to first select the first result before being able to "enter", as seen in the second screenshot.

Is there a way to get the first behavior in the second case?

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I recently switched to Firefox and have been running into an issue: when I scroll down with my mouse wheel, the browser sometimes jumps back a page as if I had pressed the side mouse button.

I’ve tested my mouse in other apps and browsers, and the issue doesn’t appear anywhere else, it only happens in Firefox, which is confusing. I’ve tried looking it up but haven’t found a solution.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what might be causing it?

Mouse is Logitech G502X Lightspeed

I have the current version of Firefox browser. Every time I clear the browsing history, I am being logged out of my Google and Microsoft accounts, which is forcing me to go through the tedious 2-step verification process to log back in. This was not occuring before. Please fix this annoying and time consuming bug!

Dear programmers! Firefox has been buggy since at least mid-May! You can't upload videos to Youtube with it! The upload stops at zero percent and doesn't move any further! The problem started with version 138, and it's currently the same with version 141.0.3! My operating system is Windows 10 / 64 bit. I was previously advised to delete cookies, but that didn't work either. Uploading videos works with other browsers. Sometimes, you can't even post a picture attached to a comment on Facebook. I was able to do that with another browser. The video upload error occurred earlier, with version 131! It was fixed shortly after that! I would like this to happen again! It's very annoying that this error has been around for months and hasn't been fixed!

I have an extension called Last Pass installed. Is it possible from Mozillas side to see when it was installed please? I think this would have been installed on 12th July 2022

Also does it sync passwords on phone with desktop, as it seems to have synced a password for a site that I do not recall using on my laptop

I am a Firefox user for the last 20 years. I frequently use Google Translate, and I depend on the voice-to-text feature. However, when I try to use it in Firefox, I get the message: “Voice input is not supported on this browser.”

Because of this, I am being forced to switch to Google Chrome, which I don’t really want to do. Is there any workaround, add-on, or upcoming plan to bring proper voice input support to Firefox?

THE ISSUE: When opening Firefox, (Attachment #1 - below) appears. Seems to have nothing to do with any reality . . . as when I check in SETTINGS (Attachment #2 - below). 1. So, who's telling the truth? 2. How do I stop the popup (Attachment #1) from making it's nagging, inaccurate appearance?

Thank you / Nels

I'm used to use the sidebar history to open previous links for a variety of reasons. You used to be able to click or middle mouse click the links to open the tab in the current or a new tab. But it seem now i can only left click the links and it opens them in a new tab regardless. Right clicking only allows you to open the link in a new tab or a new (private) window.

Is there a way to fix this? Please help.

Thanks

I have option turn on to open new tab for a new webpage. I want it to only open new tab for a new website, but not with ever webpage I look at at the same website. Can you help?

Hello! Very new to Linux but got a new laptop and installed Ubuntu on it. I've run into some issues logging into sites (specifically iCloud) and somewhere I saw someone say they fixed it by installing Firefox via the .deb package rather than through snap, as it's installed by default. Following the installation instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended I've run into a roadblock with adding Mozilla APT repository to sources.list. Copying the instructions for Trixie and newer, I've run into an issue where it's giving 'permission denied'. As I'm new to Linux, I'm not really sure what next step to take, short of just typing "sudo" everywhere to try to get it to accept it. Please assist! I would be grateful.
