This does not work anymore and I get an edit drop down with copy, paste etc It works on Chrome and Safari. I checked the config for "browser.fixup.alternate.suffix" and it is set to .com.

When printing a PDF with custom page ranges, the footer text in the print preview (see image) does not match the actual page. As shown in the example image, if I want to print pages 2-16, the preview indicating page 4 is actually page 5.

So, if I want to print with a very custom range, such as 2-4, 6-10, 12-14, 16, it will be very confusing and will take longer to adjust.

And I also print custom ranges like this very often for daily tasks. I’m not sure if this is a bug or just a minor adjustment needed in Firefox’s coding. Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm on Linux.

I've been using this method to setup a custom new tab page for Firefox for almost 4 years, and it has worked great: https://jamesnorth.net/knowledge-base/article/firefox-new-tab-page

---

Navigate to /usr/lib/firefox.

Create autoconfig.cfg:

// var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;

/* set new tab page */ try {

 Cu.import("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.jsm");  
 var newTabURL = "file:///home/james/ff/index.html";  
 AboutNewTab.newTabURL = newTabURL;  

} catch(e){Cu.reportError(e);} // report errors in the Browser Console

Create defaults/pref/autoconfig.js:

// pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);

---

However, upon updating to Firefox 136, I only get a blank page. All of my autoconfig files still exist in /usr/lib/firefox.

When I create a new tab with Ctrl+T, it's a blank page. When I create a new window, it loads the local page I want it to load with the file path in the URL (which it never had before; the URL bar was blank in Firefox 135). So it seems to be partially working.

Any tips?

Hi,

I take a look to forums and docs but didn't find answer to it : just found informations about the use of firefox -P

Is there a way to change the defaults profile path.

For example, in the profiles.ini :

Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/be7er9lz.default Default=1

this is a relative path referring to %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\[PathVariableValue]

Is there a way to change a config file or config to customise the path for all users a windows computer ?

For example :

setting this variable to \\nameofserver\Firefox\

will made all relatives profiles looking for : \\nameofserver\Firefox\[PathVariableValue]

without this option, I should be obliged to edit all users profiles.ini to change path to absolute

Thanks for your help

Hello. I have a problem with Firefox since today. When I am on YouTube I no longer see the thumbnail image of the video. However, when I am in private browsing it works fine. How can I fix this? Regards, Julian.

Due to relevant policy and legal reasons, the Chinese version of Firefox has been used https://accounts.firefox.com.cn/ As a login account URL, it is also used in the international version https://accounts.firefox.com As login URLs, the two accounts are not interconnected. After recently upgrading to a new computer and downloading Firefox again, I am unable to use the synchronization function https://accounts.firefox.com.cn/ Login to the account, the specific manifestation is to enter the correct password when logging in, and it will continue to display 'processing'. But by directly entering the above website address, you can log in to your account normally. I now need a solution to the synchronization issue by moving bookmarks, plugins, themes, and synchronized tabs from my previous Firefox computer to my new computer.

由于相关政策法方面原因，中国版的firefox使用了https://accounts.firefox.com.cn/作为登陆账户网址，同时而国际版使用https://accounts.firefox.com作为登陆网址，两者账户不互通。

最近换了新的电脑以后，重新下载firefox，使用同步功能时，无法使用https://accounts.firefox.com.cn/登陆账户，具体表现是登陆时输入正确密码后登陆，一直显示处理中。但是直接输入上述网址，可以正常登陆账户。

我现在需要可以解决同步问题的方法，将我原来电脑中firefox中的书签，插件，主题以及同步的标签页移动到新电脑中。

So Firefox automatically updated to version 136.0 and now Disney Hotstar (hotstar.com) website does not work. It shows the following error: "Something went wrong. Don't worry our best minds are on it. Please use the skip option if available or try again later." (see screenshot) There is no skip option.

I downgraded to version 135.0.1 and everything works fine. Hotstar website also works fine in other browsers. But soon the automatic update kicks in and with version 136.0 Disney Hotstar does not work at all.

Firefox version: 136.0 64-bit for Windows OS: Windows 11 24H2 Home Edition (build 26100.3194)

Thank you in advance :)

I'm having trouble with Firefox automatically blocking certain websites that I trust. Even after adding them to the exception list in the privacy and security settings, I still get the "This site is not secure" warning. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or allow these trusted sites to bypass the warning in Firefox?

Hi, I've been a use of FF since it was Netscape (yes I'm old). And its always been my favorite above all. However, with the recent update (ver 136, either installed from a .tar downloaded or an app via apt install) it starts fine but no matter what URL I try to access the busy indicator spins but nothing ever happens. I've tried disabling all my extensions to no avail. I'm also searched for others experiencing this issue. All my other browsers seem to work well on all the same sites.

I'm kind of at a loss so if anyone has any suggestions/ideas please share?

Thanks BobMCT

Hi!

I've noticed dropped frames in videos for a while now, but only recently tested the issue. Using youtubes stats for nerds, I found that when videos have a small viewport resolution, it starts to drop frames. (I would test with other sites but only know of youtubes stats for nerds system to detect issues like this) For example a viewport resolution of 1250x703 does not drop frames, however by unmaximising the screen and the viewport resolution drops to 681x383, it begins dropping frames.

Using my 2nd monitor which has a smaller actual resolution, the video drops frames unless fullscreened, see recordings below. Test A | Firefox Maximised but video not fullscreen Test B | Firefox Maximised and video fullscreen This issue also occurs with picture-in-picture mode.

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes this issue but for some reason only affects firefox, using MS Edge with "graphics acceleration" enabled does not result in this issue. Is this potentially an issue specifically with how firefox handles hardware acceleration? Also since I require hardware acceleration to be enabled for 3D model work in my browser, is there something I'm missing here that would allow me to keep hardware acceleration on but not have this issue?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Suddenly i do not have access to a website and only this. the domain is wetranfer.com Actually i do not have access with any browser. not only mozilla firefox I use the default Microsoft defender but i can't find anything in firewall that blocks access to this site. Any help?

Hi – When I type a URL into the address bar, I get a list of suggestions for autocomplete. I can select the site I want, hit enter, and go to that site, or what I usually do is hit command+enter, which opens the site in a new tab. But for the last couple days, when I hit command+enter, the autocomplete deselects and I don't open a new tab. For example, if I type "go," the autocomplete suggests "google.com," I hit command+enter, and the current tab I'm on goes to "go.com."

This is really a pain because it's a very natural part of my workflow to go to websites in new tabs. Of course I can just open a new tab and type in the URL there, but I'd love to be able to keep using my browser the way I'm used to. Is it possible that I made a change to my settings accidentally? I can't find anything in the Firefox settings but I imagine i must have done something. I did check and none of my keys are stuck or anything.

I'm on MacOS Monterey, Version 12.7.2, and my Firefox is version 136.0 (64-bit)

Thank you very much!

Online purchases only work on about 50% of the websites I buy on. The most recent one was buying a gift card from Whole Foods. This is becoming so ANNOYING; before I finally switch to another browser, does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Firefox (on CachyOS, but i'm pretty sure that is not relevant) when I try to hit domain with PORT number.

To be clear, I have a "service" I am locally hosting on a more widely available "domain.com" (those are examples of course...) I am using this typology to still be able to generate Let's Encrypt certs for domains (that I own) not accessible outside my network for those sub-domains, and am using therefore Pi-hole to serve the few IPs of my few "service123.domain.com"

When I use a Chromium based browser (or FF ESR v128) the only DNS query is for "https://service.domain.com:8000" is "service.domain.com" (as seen on pihole queries and in FF-ESR/Chromium DNS cache), whereas FF 135 there is first a "service.domain.com" (righfully answered by my local DNS), and then a second query "_8000._https.service.domain.com" is sent, but my pihole doesn't seem to recognize (and shouldn't have to interpret anything concerning ports), so it sends it to upstream DNS (which are unable to answer)

I have disabled DoH, and every extensions. So I am really lost on what as changed in FF that would explain this, or if it's a pihole config problem (weirdly only affecting FF 135+ ...)

Feel free to ask anything, I may have omitted important info. Thanks in advance

It looks like some sites are not working properly, two examples I can give are google sheets&docs, in the attached image you can see my sheets are not being shown, note that if I directly access a sheet's link it does open.

The second example is some websites with media players just load infinitely (YouTube works).

Also added network tab non 200 status code requests images.

Things I've tried:

• Disabled "network.dns.disablePrefetch".
• Tried troubleshoot mode(meaning those requests that were blocked by ublock are not the problem).
• Deleted history including cookies.
• Private Browsing.
• User Agent masking
• Reinstalling

About a week ago, I started having these problems with FF 136.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10:

• Gmail (mail.google.com) became completely inaccessible
• Google Maps (maps.google.com) opens normally, but app icons stopped displaying correctly (as in attached screenshot)

Comments:

• Gmail and Google Maps are accessible normally on Chrome and Edge
• YouTube (which is another Google product) works fine on my FF
• Tried refreshing FF then tried clearing all cookies, caches, and browsing history, but made no improvement of any kind.

Any advice?

Hello,

For a few days now I've been unable to use Google tools via Firefox (I can't tell if this is due to an update or not).

As soon as a document (usually an editable or navigable area) is opened on the page, it appears completely black. Interactions work correctly at first glance (it's possible to click, write, interact with content that isn't displayed. The problem seems to be purely visual.

I've encountered the problem in all Google Sheet or Docs documents (including when I'm making a new one) and on Google Maps, regardless of location (in the case of Google maps, a notable point is that the map is displayed and then turns black after one or two seconds).

I don't have this problem on another browser, I have it in PM.

Do you have any ideas on how to find the cause and fix the problem?

Have a nice day!
