Firefox Community Forum

this issue has arisen suddenly over the last month. so i try to load bandcamp and for a few moments i'm able to go from page to page. after a certain short amount of time has passed between me opening the site and using it, just seconds, upon me clicking a link, pages initially appear to load [the refresh button switches to the X icon] before they quickly halt and keep me stuck on the same page. attempting to open a link in a new tab in this state gives a blank page - not showing as about:blank in the url but the intended destination. sometimes when i try to confirm a change on something i have uploaded to the site or try to log in, bandcamp gives an error reading "There was network error. Please try again."

so i originally thought it had something to do with using a VPN; initially i thought it was alleviated when i turned it off but i was wrong, problem soon reappeared. i've actually been using zen browser for a while, so maybe it was localised to that? i switch back to regular firefox and it was there too. troubleshooting mode didn't yield any difference either, so there's no conflict with extensions... clearing all bandcamp site data hasn't worked either, now because of this issue i just can't log back in lol. i ended up testing on a non-firefox browser, microsoft edge, and found that this issue isn't present there. so i'm kind of stumped on how to figure this out by myself now. keep in mind this is the only website that is affected by this issue

ive been using firefox for a long time now and i appreciate how compared to other browsers i have less ai jammed down my throat. i thought the crossword widget added recently was fun and ive been enjoying it every now and then. so i really do wonder, why would firefox put the ai-child-porn-lover who begged jeffrey epstein to let him come to his pedophile island on the crossword?

i really think you need to reconsider your editors or reconsider your morals.

sincerely, a very disappointed user of over a decade!

my tabs bar, containing several hundred tabs, in firefox has suddenly decided to disappear and i can't get it to show. same for the menu toolbar (the one w/ the open, save,...) never really know which toolbar i am looking for. using latest version of ff and windows 11 desktop tried to get info directly from mozilla, but is the only place that probably has the answer.

what ever happened to support for the browser? it was relatively easy to get to the support area but now it mostly shows self-advertising for firefox.

thanks in advance for any help on this matter!

When I open Firefox on my MacBook Pro laptop, the widgets will not load content. The first attached images is a screenshot of a current display. the other two images are screenshots of troubleshooting steps that appear to relate, but I'm not sure which might apply. When I try Step 1 "Force Enable System Widgets", I have found the setting to be "false"...which I set to True...but that doesn't fix the problem.

Not 100% sure if the topic is the right one, but here we go - I use a Macbook with Firefox 153.0.3, UK Keyboard (QWERTY) It's about the command + ` (the key in the left upper corner below the esc key, I made the ` bold so it's easier to see)

Sometimes, but only sometimes, the keyboard shortcut command + ` to cycle through open windows in Firefox does not work.

For example, I have two windows open (W1 and W2). If I'm in W1 I can use the command and it will cycle to W2. But using the same shortcut, I can't navigate back to W1. But if I use command+ SHIFT+ ` it works. This changes from day to day, sometimes it's command +` and sometimes it's command+ shift+`

This only affects Firefox, in all other programmes, the shortcut works as it should Can't find rhyme or reason- does anyone have an idea?

PLEASE HELP! One day last week, Firefox for my PC disappeared and it seems that Duckduckgo has taken over. I have used Firefox on my PC for a few years and occasionally use duckduckgo as my browser. Now I cannot find Firefox. It is up-to-date, as of last week.

Please Help RhonCa

I have McAfee pop-ups that seem to be linked to Firefox. How do I get rid of them? I have used the McAfee MCPR tool, but the pop-ups remain with a Mozilla Firefox notification box. When I open a link from an email I get nine of them. Seconds ago I just got a system update Mozilla Firefox alert box; if I click on it, I get a page to sign up for McAfee.

I periodically need to access a website with an expired or self-signed certificate. I understand the risks, but the browser won't let me. I've searched both the regular settings and about:config, but I can't find an option to restore the button to ignore the warning. How can I ignore the SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE notification and proceed to the website I need?

I have albinism. Pure white backgrounds are not an annoyance – they cause physical eye pain and trigger migraines. Every time I visit support.mozilla.org or accounts.firefox.com, I am forced to endure #FFFFFF with no way to change it.

To anyone about to defend Mozilla blindly: this is about accessibility and eye pain, not brand loyalty, so do not silence me.

What Mozilla has done:

• Disabled extensions (Dark Reader, Stylus, Dark Mode) from modifying these pages – they are explicitly blocked by Mozilla's own Content Security Policy.
• Removed ui.systemUsesDarkTheme and layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override from having any effect on these sites – they ignore prefers-color-scheme entirely.
• Left no about:config toggle to disable the forced light theme.

The only remaining workaround is a userContent.css hack with filter: invert(1) – which requires a visually impaired user to manually edit CSS files and restart the browser. That is not accessibility – that is hostility.

Security excuse – debunked:

• "We block extensions for security" – extensions are sandboxed. Blocking them on your own support pages is a deliberate policy choice, not a technical necessity.
• "We want a consistent brand appearance" – branding does not override accessibility. Forcing #FFFFFF on users with light sensitivity is a violation of basic inclusive design.
• "We respect prefers-color-scheme" – you do not. These two domains explicitly override it.
• "Users can just use Dark Reader" – you block it.

What I demand:

Make support.mozilla.org and accounts.firefox.com respect the system prefers-color-scheme media query. If you insist on light branding, add an official dark toggle in the site header – stored in a cookie or account preference. Stop blocking extensions from applying user‑chosen themes to your own sites. That is not security; it is control. You are a non‑profit that claims to value accessibility and user control. Your actions say otherwise. Fix these two domains. No CSS hacking should be required for basic vision safety.

See above. Also, I can't get into this and most other websites except by turning of your Mozilla VPN. Please fix this or tell me how to do it.

Thanks much!

How to recreate issue: 1. Copy password from an entry on about:logins on Firefox desktop app (Windows 11) 2. Open Windows 11 clipboard history (Win. Key + V) 3. Password is not listed in clipboard history 4. Password CAN be pasted within Firefox browser (including separate window) and separate applications 5. Copying another piece of information overwrites the item like normal a typical clipboard tool is supposed to work; you just have to copy it again if you need it again instead of opening Clipboard History.

What it affects: - Copying and pasting multiple passwords to a document, other password manager, or etc. is simply more cumbersome. - When managing multiple logins for the moment, it's easy to get confused (Is the password I just pasted for this login, or the last one?)

Obviously this isn't a big deal, and I am more so wondering if it's a bug or if it's meant to be restricted in such a way to increase security or something.

This morning I was able to access the website of: https://www.alexander-wallasch.de/ Now, ONE HOUR later I no longer can. You are doing this not for the first time, it happens regularly with websites that do not conform to what you would consider Mainstream! THis is not the sites fault. YOU ARE CENSORING ON PURPOSE: IF YOU WOULD NOT; YOU COULD SIMPLY ADD A BUTTON for every site THAT ALLOWS USERS TO OVERRIDE YOUR OPINIONS: WHY IS THAT NOT HAPPENBING? Why can the user not override your decision? Has anyone ever asked you for "help" like that?
