Firefox Support Forum

I have bought a new pc with Windows 11 home pre-installed and set Mozilla Firefox latest version as default browser ...the issue i am having is placing add-on extension shortcut icons on toolbar. I installed Norton Safe Web and this installed ok and is listed in extension control panel and when i click puzzle icon Norton Safe Web is not shown under manage shortcuts nor can i see option to Pin to Toolbar. Have tried several attempts but still get nowhere.I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox...restarted pc ... did a fresh install of Mozilla Firefox without altering any settings..re-installed Norton Safe Web and still cannot see option to Pin to Toolbar.Clicking the gear icon does not help Have i missed a step somewhere ?

Hello! About two weeks ago I opened up Firefox, and found that certain - well most - websites got switched to a very dark mode that broke the website. Websites like Joann had all the background as black and when searching I could only see what was brought up when I moused over the option. The Chell in the Rain website is completely black when part of the appeal is the artwork. Youtube? Black. Libby? Black. Accuweather? Black. Google Docs... that's actually fine.

I don't mind dark mode, but it's broken how several of these websites work.

at the very top of firefox browser are 3 rows...the highest row is the list of open tabs.....the middle row is the address bar itself with various icons....the lowest row which is the third row begins with 'import bookmarks' 'getting started' and then various website suggestions.

that 3rd row takes up space and has no useful functionality for me .....i've tried changing the settings but i can't alter it... is there a harmless way to eliminate that third row? thanks

Chrome and edge have "apps" that let me make websites into separate windows and treat much like apps. I can do this for my calendar, notes, and timer websites, for instance. I have yet to find a feature like this for Firefox. Does it exist? Is there a roadmap where this is being worked on?

Thank you

Recently started to get this popup - see attachment - and I don't know why.

Please advise a remedy.

FF 114.0 OS Windows 11 Pro v 22H2 (Build 22621.1778)

Im very worried, today (8th of june) I got a trojan warning from windows defender. the contamination affected this file path :

file: C:\Users\(my name)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\owhmdxi4.default-release\extensions\langpack-en-US@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi

below i have a picture of the addons i was using at the time and also the virus report.

In the last few days, I have noticed that a number of websites are throwing me SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP errors. Most websites, particularly more modern websites, seem to not have this issue. As some more professional examples, www.twitch.tv and www.dndbeyond.com throw this error. I have tried setting temporarily TLS version fallback limit and min to 0, with no change. I'm not really sure how to go about debugging what cyphers these websites do support and why they are throwing these errors. Any help on where to start would be greatly apprecaited.

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Description

The installed version of Firefox is affected by various security issues, some of which could lead to execution of arbitrary code on the affected host subject to the user's privileges.

Solution Upgrade to Mozilla 1.7.1 / Firefox 0.9.2 or later Upgrade to Mozilla 1.7.3 or later. Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.9 / 2.0.0.1 or later. Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.11 / 2.0.0.3 or later Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.10 / 2.0.0.2 or later Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.12 / 2.0.0.4 or later

Where are the patches/updates for this vulnerability located on the Mozilla homepage?

So slow I almost think MSFT AI has invented a thing that trips you up... After all, they're the fallback. Just saying.

I have MSFT 11 on a strong Nvidia gaming laptop. It's a fast machine. Once Firefox is open everything works fine and fast. It's just the opening.

Thank you, Liah

How can I revert my sync data to what I had been using on my newer computer, following the use of an old outdated computer ? My bookmarks, passwords et al. have reverted to the old data.

I have tried to turn off sync on the older machine that I rarely use. There are many bookmarks that I need to recover now on the new machine. I had everything selected to sync to the newer data on the older machine, but it would not sync. Now my new machine shows the the old data!

Thank much for suggestions! RayneByrd

I can't login to Playnow.

Microsoft Edge Geolocation Issue

Since the release of Microsoft Edge versions 114.0.1823.37 and 114.0.1823.41, there have been numerous reported cases of geolocation issues resulting in players being unable to log in to Playnow.com. We recommend using an older version of Microsoft Edge (113.0.1774.57) or using another browser such as Chrome .

When using an email "button" on a website to contact the owner, the email composition box that pops up always fills in the From line with my iCloud email address. How do I change that (permanently) to a different account?

Hi Good Morning. For some reason, my browser will not load -- I get an error message saying "unable to connect." I've been using this browser for years....never had a problem. My Google and Microsoft browsers work....so this is Mozilla issue. Please help as I prefer to use Firefox.

I've got an issue on several websites in 115b2 (but it's been an issue since at least 112) where Firefox inserts a bunch of
after a single newline. I've tried toggling editor.use_div_for_default_newlines, which had fixed this back in 92 when set to false. But now, true or false, I'm getting a bunch of line breaks when I'm not expecting them. This is only an issue in Firefox, Chrome/Edge does not have this behavior when using WYSIWYG editors. I can go back into the editor and clean out the additional line breaks without them being resubmitted, though.

example, there should only be a single line break between "message" and "more message":

Hello, I'd like some help with a performance issue. Basically, when using the theme "Pixel-Punk" while playing a video, ram usage by the GPU slowly increases. It increases until it reaches 8GB, where Firefox will soft crash, displaying a white screen. Firefox will be reloaded, with the animated banner portion in Firefox usually disabled or flickering on and off. The GPU item in the process manager also disappears and ram usage no longer increases. The slow nature of the problem makes it hard to diagnose but I'm fairly certain it's due to this theme. The problem doesn't appear with it off, or even on, until I start watching a YouTube video, where ram usage will slowly increase. If I disable the theme ram usage stops increasing but doesn't decrease to it's previous state. I've also tried refreshing Firefox but that didn't help. Also, I don't have an option for hardware acceleration so I can't troubleshoot that option. I've asked the Firefox subreddit and I was guided to the profiler, but that's a little over my head. Is there a way to fix this? I quite like this theme, and I haven't seen any complaints in the reviews. There are also lots of variables, like the extensions I have, my hardware configuration and such. my hardware for info: laptop - Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 (2022) CPU- 12700H RAM- 16GB GPU- 3070ti
