Firefox Support Forum

As many others have said (however those posts are locked so i cannot reply) Firefox seems to randomly lose the ability to save shortcuts, (by dragging from the address bar) to the desktop.

Restart a few times, wait, random things, and it comes back next time you try... been bugging me for years. Seems to occur when firefox has been running for some time with lots of tabs open. As others have said, it displays a little "NO" icon (circle with a line through it) when trying to drag the URL from the lock or favicon section of the address bar, to the desktop. Other times it works fine.

I searched a bit, but perhaps someone has another idea on how to fix this permanently, or how to recover from it without restarting the computer. Firefox version is 110.0.1.

PS. I would re think the idea of archiving posts. Because its nice to be able to reply to old posts, even if they are "solved". The original poster may have found a solution and never posted about it, for instance.

All typed text appears blue until you break it in some ways like pressing the spacebar or moving the keyboard cursor with the arrow keys. It happens at the firefox search bar as well, and search suggestions and autocomplete doesn't work whenever it happens.

Hello My shopify website is not loading in Firefox desktop. It loads fine in Chrome and Safari. https://christopherjameskull-shop.com/ I've cleared cache and cookies several times, and deleted and re-installed the app. It does work in Firefox on my iphone. Thank you for any help.

I have Firefox 113 on a 14" laptop. The toolbar takes up 1/3 of the height of the screen, which I find intolerable and an obstacle in my work. According to my research, there is no way to adjust the height of the toolbar only. I have a vision problem and need to have fonts a certain size. Any reason why I wouldn't go back to Firefox 110? I have 110 on another 14" computer and it looks great.

why this [redacted] firefox background process is taking more then 40% of ram in my pc have 16 gb ram, it is top for consuming ram, how to disable it and only 2 tab are opend (Edited for language as we try to keep things family friendly)

I'm on a website, https://a.com, which attempts to load an image from https://b.com. For some reason this gets blocked by Enhanced Tracking Prevention, but no worries I assume, I'll just add an exception in the settings.

Only adding an exception does absolutely nothing. Despite adding an exception for it, any request to https://b.com is still blocked by Firefox automatically, leaving me only with the option to disable tracking prevention for https://a.com entirely, or not get any images to load.

How exactly are exceptions supposed to work if not like this?

I am using Mac OS x 10.15. The FireFox Update on/about 21 April 2021 caused crash on quit. I have read the two pages of Widevine plugin issues, but I do not use FireFox for viewing videos. I have no Widevine or similar plugin. Every time since the 4/21 update, when I click "Quit FireFox" It goes into a slow routine, then a pop-up asks if I want to report the crash. I have shared the data requested when I get the crash pop-up. I have used FireFox since v.3.? when it came out way back when. Obviously I liked it better when I did not have delay and crash to quit the browser.

This went on for about two years and was fixed about a week ago (Thank you!!!), now broken again with 110.0.1.

Please, any reason not to roll back to the previous version and have a smooth shutdown again?

I've been using the portable version of Firefox for years. Every release up to 110 has worked great. But release 111 and 112 won't start.

(edited title that add 'portable' - c)

Windows 11 x64, Firefox 110.0.1. HTTPS-only mode disables. OCSP enabled. I've tried playing around with these flags, nothing works.

• security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots
• security.certerrors.mitm.priming.enabled
• security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling
• security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled
• security.certerrors.permanentOverride
• network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist
• security.enterprise_roots.enabled

Do not recommend me to click Advanced -> Accept the Risk and Continue. I want to disable the warning forever for all the hosts. For example, Chrome supports flag --ignore-certificate-errors, I need something like this.

While I logged in zoom through firefox browser, I was not able to hear the lecture in zoom. I checked sound mixer (speaker not on mute). I checked for the speaker test (I could hear the test sound). I checked videos in youtube speaker was working fine but while using zoom via firefox browser speaker is not working. Currently I am using zoom via chrome browser. Please help me to troubleshoot speaker in firefox.

I've tried resolving this issue after looking at various solutions here on this site as well as other sites. The message "Your browser is being managed by your organization" shows in my settings, However, when I go to the Policies thread in the registry - whether it's under Local Machine or Local User - there is no policy registry entry for Firefox or Mozilla.

Please advise. This is really annoying.

Thanks in advance.

I'm using Firefox on a Mac. Whenever I switch from using a different application back to Firefox it changes which window is at the front.

For example, sometimes I am writing something in Firefox and need to reference a file that is open in Preview. I'll switch to Preview to look what I need to reference, and then when I press command + tab to switch back to Firefox, rather than taking me to the window that I most recently had open it takes me to another window that was in the background. It seems like it only started recently but I didn't make any obvious changes before it started happening. Any reason why this might be happening and how to change it?

In the last week when I open LinkedIn in Firefox it hides the contents of the LinkedIn Navigation panel. If I click on the blank panel some of the links are still there but not all of them. I found an article and I cleared my history and exited out of everything. When I signed back in - it worked for that evening. When I logged back in the next day the problem was back. It is a recent issue. How can I fix this please?

My FF updated to 110.0.1 (64-bit) on Ubuntu and several things which use to work really well are now broken.

For example, when making a new account, the password manager pops up asking if you want to save the username/password, but if you mouse over to that popup then as soon as you enter it it just disappears. When logging in somewhere, if there are multiple choices for userid (say with different dates) none can be chosen. You mouse down to the popup with the choices and there's a weird stroboscopic action where the popup disappears and is recreated as fast as it can, over and over, and nothing can actually be clicked on. If you type in the userid then try to enter the password the same thing happens. It's not possible to use the password manager anymore, both fields need to be typed in manually.

Another example is the search field. If you type something and there are several options from previous searches, and you try to mouse down to pick one, the popup disappears. If you click the search keyword again it highlights as for replacement, then you have to click it again (removing highlight) and only then can you mouse down and choose a search engine.

etc etc etc! All this stuff worked great until the upgrade happened (in the background) and now many things are a huge pain in the ass. Arrgh!

% uname -a Linux spunky 5.4.0-144-generic #161~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 10 15:55:22 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried disabling all add-ons then restarted but made no difference. Password manager is unusable.

I recently moved into my partners parents house temporarily and their ISP set up is less than ideal but usable. Since moving in we've had a few hiccups with the internet and initially narrowed it down to google searches.

The graphs below are my internet activity with a couple tabs open and a stream to just get a consistent graph for pre-googling and then post-googling, the connection hitching continues until i close and reopen firefox which obviously is inconvenient. (I've been making do with bing in the meantime and it is really beyond parody how bad it actually really is.)

On a whim today I tried googling something in chrome to see if it'd do the same thing and it doesn't, which is great because this went from just a bizarre isp issue to a potential bug which can hopefully be fixed.

Hello. I was reading Quora.com web site on my notebook in Firefox (110.0.1 64-bit) normally, then I got power outage. When electricity returned and I tried to open it again, browser didn't open it and I gave me message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.quora.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I've tried to get support from Quora.com how message said, but they told me "this error does not originate from our website". And gave me some suggestions - "The easiest way to fix this secure connection error is to reset the Firefox settings." I've performed "Refresh Firefox", but problem persists. I don't use VPN. Can anyone please help me with this problem?
