Hi, I like chatgpt OpenAI interface. However, it does not have the ability to create images with Arabic text and videos. Can you help me locate an app? P.S. See as an example this one.

As of May 15, this change started.

Previously (May 14 and before), and downloaded file that has the same name as a previous downloaded file would be given a version name in parentheses. As of May 15th, any repeat-named download is given a hyphen instead. This is a serious problem, because I use the parenthetical version numbers for version control of many files.

How can I switch this back?

Is there a way to fully disable HDR support in the latest Firefox (138.0.1)? I use it on Linux/Gnome (wayland) where even though HDR support is disabled system-wide (gdctl confirms that) as well as on the monitor, Firefox insists on displaying YouTube videos in HDR resulting in washed out colors.

Looking into the issue I found that disabling the config flag layout.css.video-dynamic-range.allows-high seems to disable HDR but I'm not sure if this is the appropriate way or if there is another switch I currently don't know.

Any help is welcome!

Only one website will not let me in, stating "Unable to find the proxy server". How do I get into it? Happens nowhere else. All updates are in order. Tried with and without AVG VPN.

I'm in the process of exporting my FireFox bookmarks as html files.

In this process I noticed that everytime I save (export bookmarks as html) as a file a location on my disk, then open up that file to inspect/check - I notice that FireFox appends to the exported file rather than replace. Even though it asks if I want to replace the existing file during the save dialogue.

I'm using win 8.1

So, that's fine I though, 'let's' just delete that file and start over. Long story short, it does not work; I did the following.

Before closing FireFox I went into FireFox settings and click on all catagories of History - and cleared. I then closed FireFox then in Windows Explorer went to where the original file (exported html bookmarks), and deleted that file directly from windows.

I then opened up FireFox again and exported the my bookmarks as html to the same location again. Even though that destination no longer has a file from before - when I reopen the just now newly export html bookmark file - I see the contents are the same as before - (I has the appended/duplicated html bookmarks).

It's like instead of exporting the bookmarks I actually see in FireFox, it is referring to some saved information somewhere instead and saving that.

How can I export what bookmarks and folders I actually see in FireFox instead of some internal bookmarks/folders FireFox thinks I have - In other words - is there some file I can delete or setting to clear?

Thanks.

Darling team the Firefox.

I returned to Firefox again years ago, having stopped using the splendid browser. But due to fashion or following trends, I migrated to a browser from another company. I've returned to my beloved Firefox, which has brought me so much joy. However top me with a terrible unknown.

The browser I stopped using. It has an attractive simple, and useful home screen for selecting accounts for the user, which multiple accounts.

I haven't found any similarity in my dear Firefox.

Do you have a feasible solution, since searching the internet, the community is clamoring for it.

Sincerely,

Recently I've noticed that my tabs auto refresh if I have'nt been in them for a while. I turned that off ages ago cus I hate it. Now, all of a sudden they refresh again.

accessibility.blockautorefresh services.sync.prefs.sync-seen.accessibility.blockautorefresh

Are both set to true, which I'm pretty sure was supposed to block auto refresh.

I don't know what else to do.

I'm on Firefox version 139.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 11.

a few months ago, i built a new computer and upgraded to windows 11. but i have been having a bug where after resuming use of a firefox window, i will at some point lose the ability to left clicks links or to type in any fields on the page. for my mouse, i can still properly left click web buttons, like the youtube players, and i can left click tabs to switch between them. right and middle click still work correctly as well. for the keyboard, i can use keybinds on my keyboard (ctrl-tab/ctrl-shift-tab/ctrl-a) or hit space bar/page up/page down to navigate, but typing in fields just doesnt work. this bug happens after some random point of using the program, so it could happen after 10 seconds or 10 minutes.

the only way to fix it is to switch to a different program momentarily, whether that be alt tabbing to a non firefox window or clicking the desktop. ive just tried switching all my extensions and everything off with troubleshoot mode, but still experienced the bug. ive also tried different keyboards and mice in different ports and had the same issue persist, so i dont think its my peripheral software since i used generic keyboards too.

does anyone have any suggestions on what could be happening here and if anyone is experiencing the same issue? its very frustrating

Since the last update, (4/30) Foxfire auto-closes after about 5 minutes. “Help, About Firefox”, lists version “115.23.0esr (64-bit)” as current. I do not remember the “esr” in the version previously. Was I sent the wrong update? I still run under Windows 7 to avoid a hardware replacement which works for my usual desktop software. Is Window 7 related to the problem? My e-mail is via Yahoo at “https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/ …” which switches to an ATT.com site. Tried going directly to email via ATT.com and the auto-close was faster. A test sitting at the ATT login prompt for 15+ minutes without loging in did not auto-close. I also have a soft recall of looking for help on the Mozilla site for well over 5 minute without the auto-close. Is Yahoo/ATT email the issue. If so, do I need to talk to them? Directory “PC:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Maintenance Service\UpdateLogs ” has 3 files with 4/30/25 dates which is about when problem started. I can email file fro any directory subtree starting with MOZILLA\ if it will help diagnose the issue. Howard Neuschaefer neuscha@sbcglobal.net

I want to edit a PDF with firefox. The PDF has two different address lines. When I put in one address it automatically copies it into the other line. But I the two addresses I have to put in are different. But when I edit one the other does the same. What can I do?

I am having a problem with FireFox: using DuckDuckGo as a search engine I only get a white page with a search window at the top as a result. DuckDuckGo works fine in Safari as I am typing this. Other search engines work fine in FireFox.

I have tried running FireFox in troubleshoot mode and then manually disabling extensions one by one but the issue persists. It makes no difference whether I am using the URL box, the search box or the DuckDuckGo website: the result is always the same. I am not using Metamask and I have no VPN installed.

Any idea is greatly appreciated.

Hello Firefox Support,

I’m reaching out for assistance regarding a serious data loss issue I experienced.

Recently, I accidentally launched an older version of Firefox on macOS using my existing profile. After this, I noticed that all my Multi-Account Containers were still listed, but all cookies associated with those containers were completely lost. I understand this might be caused by incompatibility between Firefox versions and profile structures.

I have located files such as: - `cookies.sqlite` - `containers.json` - `sessionstore-backups/upgrade.jsonlz4-*`

However, none of the cookies appear to have `originAttributes` associated with containers anymore (only empty strings). Is there any way to recover or reassign the lost cookies to their original containers?

This incident has affected multiple work logins and multi-account configurations I heavily depend on.

Thank you for any support or tools you can provide to assist in restoring the lost data.

Best regards, Thang

the right click menu used to be matte and used my windows accent color. now its transparent with a frost effect on top, kinda like the right click menu in windows 11. how do i get the old one back

After Firefox went haywire every time I tried to upload a file or add an attachment to an email, I eventually found a way to "restore default settings". That fixed ONE problem but immediately caused several new ones: The "File Edit History etc" toolbar has disappeared. How do I get it back? The colours and identifying icons in the drop-down tab menu on the right have also disappeared. How do I get them back? Nowhere to recover them in Settings and no answers to the questions from Mozilla.  :-(
