The website in question does not recognise that data has been entered when it comes from Autofill. The only solution is to manually enter the address details manually. This does not happen on the same website in chrome or Edge. This s enough to send me back to chrome....

Additional information on the problem of not clearing history. It takes from the tool bar at least 5 attempts to clear the Cache, cookies and past pages. The last 15KB of the system cache will not clear. Tried from Setting; Privacy and Security, said there was still 6.9MB, Cleared, check also the past pages box. Came back to the Tool Bar, still has the 15KB in Cache, but settings said there was zero. Not a critical issue at this time. Going forward when you have a response. JJE

I just upgraded to latest Firefox and all my bookmarks from the previous version are now all missing. Anything that can be done to get them from my previous version

Bonjour, Souhaitant consulter une version antérieure d'un site web, je me rends sur Wayback Machine et depuis, j'ai des alertes sécurité de logiciels malveillants présents dans le système Firefox (navigateur). Pouvez-vous m'aider je vous prie et vérifier ? Merci :) Réjane.

Why can I not use a shortcut key to slow down or speed up speech. Some things are easy, and I want them to be read fast. Other things require some thought on hearing them, so slow down would be appropriate. And it is inconvenient to have to go inot the options for Read Aloud in order to do this. Besides which, when you go into options, you really don't know whether you have changed the speed the appropriate amount until you go back and listen to the text. As well, I listen to things in English and Spanish and need to switch speeds for these different languages."

Hello-

I have an issue with secondary webpages disappearing. Occasionally, when I am on a website, particularly when I am buying something or comparing items and a pop-out page appears showing what you selected, when I go to click on that 'secondary' webpage it disappears. It's not hidden between other open browsers or appearing on the taskbar. It's just gone. When I go back to the main webpage site and open up this pop-out page again, it will reappear. But the moment I click on this pop-out page it disappears. An example is attached with a DoorDash progress order. It seems that it only happens with "secondary" pop-out pages. It does not occur if the website creates a whole separate new non-pop-out page.

I went into settings to try turning off and on pop-up to see if that does something but nothing. Thanks for your help in advance.

I was not sure what topic/heading to put my question under, but problem occurred like this:

A student organization within my University sent me and email concerning a petition. This is all very legit. But when clicking on the link to see and sign the petition, I got this:

"Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)".

I wonder if this is an EXACT problem you know very well that has to do precise individual account settings, OR could also be linked my status with the University? (I'm a twice Alumni, but am now "lapsed" from my third degree -didn't take a course in "X" no. of semesters- so blocked from registration... And what else)? Maybe this site "is instructed" not open in browser if I'm not a current paying customer of the University?

I don't get it. Links acquired from safe sites, here doubly safe since coming from a legit University address AND safe to come in my email inbox go though like 99% of the time... First I see of this automatic message. I might have change a Mozilla setting SINCE that makes it worse, but I don't understand the original error. I tried to cut and paste in the address bar but didn't help be get answers (didn't see page this way either). Why is it a "my side" problem, why do they say it's an"exception" error, and what is the browser's "console? One's Mozilla acount's home?THANKS FOR CLEARING THIS UP GUYS : )

Is there a way to change to size of the font on the tabs? It's very small. I've tried through settings, changing the letter size but it doesn't change the type on the tabs. Help!

Hi folks, I am new here. I wonder if someone could help me solve a new problem which may or may not have anything to do with Firefox itself. Let me explain: a month ago or so, I was running Firefox, and my HP laptop, 64-bit, running Win11, told me I needed to run a new update from Microsoft for my Windows. I forgot that I was running Firefox, and started the update. I live on the West coast of Florida, where there is a lot of lightning... So, right in the middle of the Windows update, lightning took out cable and internet, stopping (interrupting) the update download. The whole neighborhood was affected. Later, when internet service was restored, I re-started the Windows update. Now here's the weird thing: every minute or so, no matter what is or is not running, even before I log into my desktop with my PIN, all of a sudden an old image from a previous Firefox session, complete with tabs, pops up. It then cycles through more images, until I hit the enter button, or tap the pad, or hit escape, exiting the image. It even goes away temporarily if I move the cursor, so trying to X out does not work. A little later, it pops back up. I'm working on a novel, and it is frustrating, because this interruption derails my thought train, complete with caboose. Also, one of the images (static) is my bank page. This spooks me... Please help, someone -- anyone? Ahead of time, thank you!

Hi,

 I am trying to make my toolbar icons larger,but I can't find the info on how to do that. Can you help me make the toolbar Icons larger/bigger? Please, let me know asap. Thanks, Faith

One of my permanent tabs, www.nytimes.com, automatically refreshes the page every so often (5-10 minutes) when using the Windows version. However, the page remains static in the MacOS version -- the only way to update the page is to do so manually. I've looked for a setting, thinking maybe I set up something differently on the two browsers, but can't find anything. If it's not me, it would be great if the Mac version auto-refreshed the page just like the Windows version does!

The "History" tab does not show recent history. I cannot recover recent internet locations because the history does not include them. It shows the same older history over and over. When I request "all history" the list ends in August. It is not reassuring that the history shown is multiple sites of my online use, of Vanguard the investment company.

At the end of each session, I ALWAYS delete my cookies and history. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do this. (At the moment, 2.9 kb remain.) Please advise as to how to accomplish this, and, if the problem happens again, how to remedy it.

Sincere thanks,

Laura Rose Bushey
