Firefox Support Forum

When using custom search engines:

In the search bar, all you have to do is click once on the engine icon and it searches. In the URL bar you have to select the search engine icon and then click "search with".

Is there a way to eliminate the second click in the URL bar?

Thanks.

Windows 10, Firefox 114.0.1

Hello and thank you all in advance for giving your time to help us!

I run Firefox 114.0.1 on an Apple Mac Mini running Monterey 12.6.6.

Under the "Other Bookmarks" heading in the Library, I keep quite a lot of folders dividing my bookmarks into the various subjects they relate to and some of those folders are subdivided into subfolders.

One of my "simple" folders is called "PENDING" where i store stuff to look at when I have time. Last week I noticed that folder was missing! There's no other explanation than I stupidly deleted it without knowing, and it contained a lot of stuff!

I read up on restoring bookmarks from backup but

a) I only need this one folder and b) I don't want to overwrite all the bookmarks I've added in the past weeks.

Even if I could get the bookmarks from that one folder in a plain text file that I could read, I've no problem doing a bit of work, pasting each one into Google and re-acquiring it as a bookmark.

Any advice will be deeply appreciated!

Many thanks and very kind wishes,

Jim

Related to some personal SVG project files. Which are relative large files (containing lots of generated paths and other data).

On the largest of these files I spotted that some general svg-viewer failed with a "XML parse error: cannot load more than 200.000 XML elements" error message.

The same file, when viewed in Firefox (114~, Linux, Mint), also developed some odd hiccup that did not make sense. Unless ...

Is there a similar limitation active in Firefox ?

- I tried to see if "Inspect>Console" gave some potential related message on this. But spotted nothing out of the ordinary. - Searched developer.mozilla.org for any related svg data. But could not find any. - After ditching some data in the effected file, unrelated to the hiccup part, the hiccup disappeared. Suggesting I did hit some svg limit in Firefox. - File size: ~26.5MB. Number of elements: Other than more than 200.000, unknown at this point. (not sure how to count them at this moment either)

With the last update I suddenly have the url/search box background and its search results drop down background set to an ugly pink with diagonal lines.

I am visually impaired and now its almost impossible to use firefox because I can't read the text on top of the diagonal colored bands. There doesn't seem to be any settings to turn on or off this appearance.

I will have to switch browsers until this is fixed and I don't want to.

Hi,

I've been encountering a strange issue where colors (especially whites) in the video player are super washed out. This only happens when HDR is turned on in windows, and only happens in my Firefox Developer Edition installation (normal firefox works fine). It also doesn't show up in any windows screenshots - the colors revert to normal when I'm in the screenshot GUI. I've attached photos below of a youtube video, the left is firefox DE and right is normal firefox, both in and out of the screenshot GUI so you can see the difference.

I'm on Windows 11, and I'm not sure what caused the issue. I've tried both refreshing and reinstalling firefox DE to no avail. Pretty stumped on this one, and would appreciate any help!

Some fonts randomly use an ugly, blocky font for no reason. I've seen it happen on some web pages and PDFs but not on all. I have tried other browsers but it is a Firefox-only problem. It doesn't occur in troubleshooting mode as shown in the attached picture. Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

I seem to be unable to suddenly access Bing.com for some reason. I'm getting a Secure Connection Failed error. I thought it was a simple downtime but it isn't. I'm also not seeing a security certificate. Check down detectors and its just me. So what gives? It was fine yesterday. I pretty much checked everything. no proxy's or anything.

This is driving me crazy and also interrupting my work.

Hi there! I am a long time Chrome user and decided to try Mozilla Firefox. I loved it and after a bit of tweaking, I run into a problem I can't deal with myself. In Chrome I loved auto fill options every time I needed the option for my home address, email address or credit card. In Firefox I just can't do it. The option is only available for Canada or SUA. Is there any way I can make it work? Of course, I looked for some add-ons and actually found several, but given the fact that auto-fill in my case deals with personal and sensitive data, I need a safer method. Is there any? Thank you!

Just updated to Firefox 114 from version 113 on Fedora 37 and spotted difference in the font rendering using the old profile.

On Firefox 114, the fonts are larger. I could not make it the same as in Firefox 113, despite all the configuration in the profile is the same. Downgrading to Firefox 113 return the previous font size/rendering.

However, in Firefox 114 there's a font difference even between my old profile and fresh new profile. The font configuration in the settings is exactly the same between these two profiles (default profile, Latin and Cyrillic — the same font families, sizes, checkboxes, i've even checked about:config options searching by "font" — all the same).

Check the screenshots.

I opened about:certificate to make sure my local O/S certs were in order and noticed the Servers tab and after opening it saw that DigiNotar Root CA was the one and only entry. I know all about the DigiNotar fiasco and how their root cert was left enabled after the NL government took over in order to prevent a bunch more problems. However, I don't understand why that cert is listed in my Servers tab and why it isn't anywhere in my Settings -> Certificates options window. I have used a couple self-signed certs in the past for localhost web server stuff where I got tired of the SSL warning over HTTP on my local domain, but otherwise only have my PGP key and haven't messed with anything otherwise. Should I be worried? This thing happened several years ago and the Root Cert I have is listed as expiring in about a year and a half.

Running Windows 11 Pro and Firefox 114.0.1 (64-bit)

I was signed in with FF and synced all data. I needed to re-install Windows, after installing FF on fresh windows and logging into FF account - nothing is synced. What have i've done wrongly?

Despite trying to disable https mode, Firefox will not allow ordinary http sites to load. Consequently I can't access most of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (bom.gov.au) pages or any other websites that don't use the extra 's' but are still secure. Mozilla suggested switching from Strict back to Standard but I still can't access ordinary http sites. Can anyone help, please?

Firefox crashes whenever I paste something in search bar. Even if its one word only. It has been like 3 months now and no help. It even crashes in troubleshooting mode. I have reinstalled and refreshed, but it helped only for a day.

Thanks in advance.

A white screen occurs when browsing the web. If you turn off "Use recommended performance settings" and "Use hardware acceleration when available" the problem is fixed, but then the browser slows down. Can this be fixed in another way?

Firefox 114.0 (64-bit) / Windows 11 Home 21H2

Hello. I can't copy and paste in Figma in Firefox whatsoever, both plain text and images. Tried doing it in Vivaldi and that browser showed a dialog prompt asking whether or not I want to allow the page to access the clipboard. I granted the permission and it's working there now. Can I do the same in Firefox somehow?

Firefox 114.0.1 on Windows

I recently noticed that in the settings it says "Your browser is being managed by your organisation". The certificate "ImportEnterpriseRoots" seems to be affected. I have seen guides saying to delete a registry key but I do not have a Mozilla folder in my policies.

It is worth noting I do run two anti virus software. Kaspersky total security and gridinsoft anti malware. Just wondering if there is a way to permanently remove this or if its just a side affect of my anti virus software.

Thanks

Hello! For some reason I can't add separate icons for extension quick menus to the address bar area and am only able to add the extensions "master" button which shows a list of extensions without going to the settings page. I've tried to go to customize toolbar to add the extension icons to the bar but none of them show up, and I know for a fact that the extensions have icons, I've added them to the bar on other computers.

When I open "Wheel of Fortune" and click on "Log-in", nothing happens. I am unable to log-in. Using another browser, I have no problem.

Anyone with a suggestion or solution for me?
