Firefox Support Forum

Why does firefox constantly ask for capchas on VPN when doing searches on Google? It is a serious problem. The vpn is for my security, not google.com

For the past few days, the YouTube website has behaving unusually in Firefox. The volume and play/pause controls don't work. The picture in picture mode does not work. And most importantly, the search bar is broken. Whenever I type something and click the search button or press enter, the value entered disappears and I have to type it all again, only that this process goes on for infinite number of times and so, I can't even search for anything on YouTube.

I'm looking at a web-page in a specifc firefox window or tab. When I want to leave it, I'll "delete" the tab" or the window by clicking the "x". BUT, often, I want to have ALL the cookies of this web-site deleted. - Perhaps a right-click on the "x" should pop-up a window saying: [do you want to clear all cookies for "abc.de" ] - and then I click "yes", and I'm done!!! Any more complex solution as spelled-out here in support is not a good solution; we need a "one-click" method.

Thanks, I hope a Firefox developer is listening.

Hi Folks, I recently downloaded and installed firefox-114.0.1 to replace the aging CentOS 7 package. Install went fine, browser seems to be working great. But now, every few minutes, I get a dialog box popping up titled "Unlock keyring" asking me to "Enter password to unlock"

Completely obnoxious - you can't ignore it. It steals focus from whatever you were doing. You can click somewhere else end get the mouse focus back, but the keyboard focus is stuck to the dialog until you close it.

I know that KDE has some sort of keyring feature, but I've never used it and I've tried to disable it in settings.

I think it must somehow be related to the firefox install, because I never had it happen until this install yesterday.

Suggestions? I'm about ready to revert to the prehistoric v78 Thanks

I've got a pretty simple question here.

I do work thru a website doing data entry. One of the forms has a "copy this data to all similar fields" button. When I used to use Chrome, I could click the button and it would work with no pop-up dialogue. In Firefox, it creates the dialogue below (mozillahow2.png) asking me to confirm that I want to copy the data. It has an option to prevent the page from creating additional diologues.

I tried ticking the box but, unfortunately, this prevents the copy-to-all function in the website from working at all; it blocks the dialogue completely rather than defaulting to "yes, confirm" etc.

I'm just wondering how I can tinker around and make this work like it does in Chrome. It's a minor inconvenience but one I would like to optimize.

Thanks! -LDStrait//Chilperic Fanethegn

Frustrating experience trying to use Twilio Authy. Whenever I first installed it on my iPhone I was using Password1 and that is the only record it shows, with no obvious way to delete that entry now that I have dumped Password1 in favor of Bitwarden. Plus when trying to install on Linux Mint desktop it first wanted me to use Snap package but Mint uses Flatpak. Got it installed using default software manager in Mint, then when I wanted to authenticate it sent code to phone, but phone said already registered so no way to authenticate desktop version. Forget it ... I use my Yubikey for all my other 2FA and it works slicker-n-snot this Twilio thing is too much hassle comparatively. When Mozilla adds some other 2FA choices THEN I can use 2FA with FF, not this app. Ugh.

I have been using Firefox Quantum 57. 0.4 64 bit for Linux Mint 1.0 will I be able to use Firefox 113.0.2 and is there anything I need to do after downloading it. I am computer illiterate, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Firefox provides the wonderful accessibility setting to override any website's css with custom colors and fonts, but this breaks some websites. I was wondering if there was any way (either by default, an add-on, or css-hack) to set custom colors and fonts per-website? Currently the only way to do this is to manually turn the settings off when you want to browse a website that it breaks - it would be very useful to have a website whitelist. At the very least it would be useful to have an "accessibility" button in the toolbar that turns on and off css overrides.

Thanks

Hello,

after porting my SSD Arch installation from my old Laptop to a desktop PC, i have a really long startup time (about 30s-45s) for the first time after booting my PC. This problem doesn't occur with any other programs. The subsequent openings of firefox happen instant.

Have tried using "refresh" functionality to clean up firefox so my about:config is as clean as it gets, didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --no-remote", didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --safe-mode", didn't help. Have tried starting it with a completely fresh profile, didn't help. Tried purging it from the system and reinstalling it, didn't help. Same problem when I start it normally via dmenu/rofi.

I don't get any stdout log on any of these methods of starting.

I also don't know where to look for helpful log files.

Any help or hints on where to trace this fault are much appreciated.

Have a nice day :)

Hello.

I wasn't able to find any RSS feeds to subscribe to in the known vulnerabilities sections, nor in the Mozilla Foundation security advisories pages. I'd like to subscribe in Thunderbird, if possible to them.

Is there a newsletter or other way to keep up-to-date with these advisories?

All 3 extensions that I use stopped working today: adblocker ultimate, scriptblocker ultimate, image video block. Add-ons manager says they're installed and enabled.

I don't know whether it's relevant, but a few days ago Firefox ignored all my settings and I had to reset them. It kept the history.

I frequently watch news videos. When the connection is slow, at least one CPU core to 100%. I am extremely confused why. Causing a core to go to 100% isn't going to speed up the download. That's a network issue.

Hi, The DM has an annoying popup that only appears on the sports page ( which is basically the only page I actually read, the rest of the comic I just skim ). I've searched the web for a solution but to no avail, hence my asking here. I have the popup blocker ticked, but this annoyance just keeps on.

cheers,

Eddie

For Securing my Apache server i have created a CA and from that CA i have created a self-signed certificate. When i add the certificate to the certificate manager and try to access my domain with https i am getting this warning 'Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead'. My certificate has enough validation. How can i get rid of this warning.

Activity - I decided to add the AdBlocker Ultimate Extension to my FireFox. addons://detail/adblockultimate@adblockultimate.net During or after download it started to dispay a web page. FFox and my entire machine became VERY slow, and the message "TLS handshake with Google.apps" was displayed bottom let of the FFox Window. AFTER MUCH time, a "donate" page was displaed with various buttons and payment options. May be for a moment my Linux machine speeded up before going VERY SLOW,,, eventually a window poped up saying@ script "Chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.js.5262" - do you wish to stop or continue,,, Despite clicking "Stop" lots of time, - which was difficult as mouse arrow movement was slow due to machine being slow / dead. EVENTUALLY - despite waiting long time for the Java Script to complete, I had to power off the m-c & restart. ... It is VERY FAR from good that Through any web page - that FFox can crash my machine... IMHO - TOTALLY DANGEROUS, and far from good. I have found this a very frequent problem, with FireFox crashing my Linux M-C Some web sites are better than others. Or rather some website will very quickly kill my Linux MC.

I have a 'site' that is just files on my hard drive.

I need to click an anchor link such as: <a href="file:///dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4">Store Your Files Here</a> and have Firefox open the folder dir4 with the systems file manager. ( In my case the file manager is Nautilus ) ( Ubuntu 20.04 )

I have seen this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work but it does not describe a scenario that uses the file:/// interface.

It also does not provide any information about how the files will be handled.

I can get the folder link to work currently , but it appears with the: 'Index of file///...' in a browser tab.

Obviously you can not use that for anything useful.

The main goal is to open the folder and be able to use the system file manager to include more content for the site without having to navigate to the folder manually. The folders I want to display are buried many levels down without the possibility of having descriptive names. I have ~121 pages/folders in this arrangement , and each one has content for each page. I would like to add a button on each of the 121 pages that will open each of the pages content folder.

Hello Firefox community,

Today I was trying to write a message and needed to change the language for spellchecki9ng a bunch of times and got super annoyed by the fact that Although I use 3 languages in my every day live I cant find a way to remove all the other dialects that I nether use nor will use ever like English (Zambia) or Spanish (Guatemala).

Is there a way to have only a few and not all 20+? I use:

• Spanish (Spain)
• Catalan (Valencia)
• English (United Kingdom) / (US)

Thanks.

I'm using Firefox v114.0.2 as a RPM in Fedora 38 I've also added some pictures for y'all to see
