Firefox Support Forum

Hi, I need to download Firefox 78.0 for my Mac OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5 but I can't find it. Can you please help me, letting me know from where to download it? Thanks, Ro

Ancestry is blaming Firefox for the inability to view DNA matches on their site. Is this true? are you working on it? Do you want me to dump Firefox and use Google Chrome as Ancestry suggests?

I use Firefox for going onto AOL and keep getting the message below. Would appreciate talking with someone and even better, getting onto my MacBook Air and help me out. Talking is most helpful. Tim

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at www.effulgencefoundation.org. If you entered the right address, you can: Try again later Check your network connection Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

I have just installed the Window Titler add-on for labelling Firefox windows.

As soon as I did and as soon as I completed the step in the customise page to add Titles to windows (tick bottom left box), I have lost the functionality to select any of the overall standard Firefox Menu options across the top: everything from Firefox to Help are visible as per normal, but I can only actually click on 'Firefox' to make it do anything. File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Window and Help are all there still but are unclickable - nothing happens on any of them.

I can click the hamburger menu on a window toolbar and select menu options there. But the overall one is as above. How can I get it working?

Since my upgrade in Firefox my home page when I open it fills only half the screen. I can enlarge it but that's a pain in the rear. Every time I go out of Firefox and then return to the home page it is half the width of the computer screen. How do I get to make the full screen my default? Thanks Richard

I recently got a new Mac, running Ventura. When I did I lost the second toolbar that used to be in Firefox, the one that shows frequently used programs, like Google, Apple etc. Instructions say to click on Firefox and select Preferences, but there is no Preference under Firefox. I tried looking under Tools and got no where. What do I need to do?

I‘m somewhat uncertain: I downloaded the Firefox Installer from (I believe) Mozilla.org via Edge. When I tried to Upload the file to VirusTotal I got errors first and it only worked after restarting the laptop.

The file hadn‘t been analyzed so far (which surprised me), 1 out of 72 scanners claimed to have found a Trojan but what bothered me more was that according to VirusTotal the file was compiled in 2018 with Microsoft Visual C/C++ 12.00.8168. It was also somewhat smaller than the last Installer I downloaded (342kb vs. 390kb), although both should be version 18.05.

So I‘m a little concerned if the downloaded file is legitimate?

Since like 2 weeks, Firefox on my M1 MacBook keeps crashing. This is really annoying which is why I have to consider switching to Brave.

Does anyone have the same problem?

I have Firebox as my default browser, both on my iMac and my PC laptop. Problem is, when I click on a photograph on line, it loads the image fit to the screen, instead of its original size! How can I change the setting on both my devices so this won't happen?! When I use Chrome, those images are all loaded in their original, large size, but not when I use Firefox! WHY?!!! I have tried the Firefox settings but can't find a solution! Thank you for your help.

Hi all. Permit me to say thank you in advance to the people responding.

I am running a late 2010 MacBook Air, Firefox V 112 (64 bit), IOS 10.13.6. Search Engine is Duck Duck Go. Web pages have become very slow to load. Lower left hand part of the screen displays "waiting for Duck Duck Go, waiting for YouTube, etc." I have the same problem with a like vintage Lenovo V460 running Windows 10. It's not the router because my smartphone loads pages wicked fast and it uses my router for data. The phone is using Firefox Focus.

Changing the browser to Safari speeds loading. Changing the browser to Edge does the same for the Lenovo V460.

This problem began with both computers after Firefox recent updates, although I don't recall when it started. Suggestions? I have been a Firefox user since forever ago and I'd really like to keep using it.

Thanks again.

Allen.

My wsj.com suscription loads the main, then briefly shows some of the content before dissapearing with this one line Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information). Using an older Mac that can not be updated to the latest IOS and wsj support said that Apple made changes so I can't load the contents..... any suggestions or solutions? thank you

On a Mac, OS 11.7.7. When I have right-clicked with my Apple mouse on an link in a website page, I've been shown the option "Open page in a new tab". That option has just disappeared on me, unless I simultaneously press the Control key. What can I do to restore that function (without simultaneously pressing Control)? Even if you cannot answer my question, it would be helpful to know whether the problem is in a Firefox setting or an IOS setting.

I'll be most grateful for your help. Thank you

I'm using a 2021 macbook air and cannot find a way to change the font size of anything in the Firefox toolbar. Not the bookmark folders in the toolbar, url address bar or tabs. The default is a microfont that is hard to read for some of us. The old add-on is no longer useful, and one other suggestion I was able to find involved changing the settings in configsys. That is an absurd solution for someone not familiar with changing code or intimidated by the process. I'd love to know if there is an easier solution that I'm missing here. And if not ...why?!

I can't get Firefox to store bookmarks on my Mac since I installed Monterey 12.0.1. I managed to find some instructions on your trouble shooting page but they do NOT work. Hate to give you guys up, but unless y'all can help me fix this, I'll be moving on.

Hello

If I put a video into full screen mode there is space left at the top of my screen where the desktop menu bar would normally go. I've looked everywhere for solutions but can't find anything that works.

Attached is a screengrab of what I mean, the black space being a video trying to play full screen.

Cheers for any help

Tom
