Firefox Support Forum

I denied permission to a website to access my camera and microphone on the top toolbar. How do I grant permission now to the websoite. I did not mean to deny permission every time I visited. I am also using another computer with windows 10pro and I am havin the same issue

Below I show screen shots of the blank page on firefox which has the firefox logo all but diminished under the private browsing mask. It's the same on the start bar but of course much smaller.

It makes it look like the new brand of firefox is the private browsing mask (I am always in that mode except for netflix).

I prefer the firefox logo and I surely don't need to know when I'm in private browsing on the start bar. The home page I don't care about, but I know I'm in private browsing cause the upper area of firefox says private browsing right on the browser itself. I have no idea why we would need be made aware that we're in private browsing, it seems the opposite would be more helpful.

I'm writing because I don't like this new firefox tiny icon with a big purple mask over it. Wanted to let you know.

If you're changing brands or something? To a purple mask? And private browsing isn't all that great.

The image on the left below is the new firefox icon on the start bar. The one on the right is on the blank page which I don't care about at all but it's just a bigger picture.

Who/what is firefox?

I love firefox, but just saying.

Thanks for hearing.

Hallo, I have a Newsletter from a publisher in Florida and e-Mail contact so it is a genuine, well known company. Firefox did send my subscription, no problem but subscription order form for Mastercard pay, received per E-Mail firefox is not transmitting. On inquiry, Mastercard said there was no rejection or transaction with my card. I think a software issue the company would know as I saw there adds in Singapore StraitsTime and in the EU. so if they are doing business in many countries then my issue must be a unique one. Could it be a setup problem ie security, or politics to purchase from US? Before I purchased my retail OS online from USA. Thanks for trying to help, I be grateful for any Ideas or hints on this issue. Alf

In the settings menu, I sometimes see letters underlined. They are just 1 letter underlines, and it really bothers me, as it makes the settings look really bad. I have underline links off, so I'm not sure how or if I can turn them off.

Since the last update i'm plagued by slowness when trying to access websites, among them youtube, google, yahoo. And by slowness i mean the hourglass icon stays put for more than 30 seconds then the browser just stays idle like no command was given, some times i get a response like: server not found. but mostly no response, just stays there thinking. I have tried to uninstall it, but i was given the option to reset it, i reset it and the problem persisted, so i decided to uninstall it, the process of uninstall started then the window disappeared without completing the uninstall, i disabled addons and the problem still persist, i even ran malware and virus scans and still no problems found there.

I'm running mozilla on a amd 7 3700, 16 gb ram and a Nvidia 1650 super, ssd hard drive and avg internet security with mozilla being added to exception.

P.s in the ss bellow, you see the request for google, that request was made more than 5 minutes ago, and at the moment of the request and the writing of this message mozilla was in troubleshoot mode.

Hello community, As soon as firefox 106.0.2 finished installing itself i was greated with some nice new color schemes to choose from, and also some other settings regarding accessing content and tabs from other devices, retrieving closed tabs and so on. Ever since i can't seem to find and access those settings. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm on linux, Manjaro.

I don't want any part of my sites exposed to the wider internet, so I'm not going to have ssl certificates.

I don't want to use self signed certificates either. Since it's all local, http is fine. Firefox should not override access of http to https.

I've turned off HTTPS-Only Mode, I've followed instructions from so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30532471/firefox-redirects-to-https

At this point, I can only assume this is a bug?

Please see the video too: https://imgur.com/a/DvXaYFu

1) Open Firefox 106.0.2 or higher (I'm on Windows 11) 2) Click anywhere on the URL bar and type the first letter of the website you want to visit. i.e. Youtube.com (Y) 3) Manually click on the link (first drop-down option) from the URL bar

The video shows me clicking on the first drop-down option in the URL bar. But clicking on it doesn't take me to Youtube.com, it takes me to a Google search for the term "y" instead.

Previously Firefox would immediately highlight the first URL drop-down option upon me typing in a single letter (i.e. y would immediately select the first option--Youtube, a site I frequently visit) and then all I'd have to do is press enter to go to Youtube.com

Now since Firefox won't auto-select the first option in the URL drop-down I have to manually select it, which is why I run into this issue. This almost always happens on a blank tab.

Why is Firefox doing this? Why won't manually clicking on the first drop-down for Youtube.com take me to the website?

I'm trying to install software via Excelleris with site access through Firefox - Firefox is asking for an administrative username and password to proceed - nothing is working including my apple login which has been recommended by several people. How do I get this information or bypass this function. I used Firefox on my old computer with the same software and this was never an issue.

Thank you for your help:)

I keep getting a notice that says "this VPN download may contain a virus that can infect my pc. Make sure that I want to download it". I don't understand why I'm getting this warning about your product. I just paid to get this extra protection and now I don't know if I should download it.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hello all, im needing some help.

Wifes comp blew up, an old Win7 system, component on the motherboard died, but I pulled the ssd out and dropped it onto something else so I can back data off of it.

I have it in a W10 box that is alive and well. There are 3 things i need to get at and I am not sure how, this is basically the same question for Firefox, Chrome and Opera (apparently some of her business stuff likes one browser and not another etc etc etc, I dont ask I just fix things).

So in firefox, i have the entire Firefox folder as the SSD it was all on seems to be alive and well and other back ups have been fine. Is there a way I can back everything off of her version of Firefox that is not installed just present as a secondary drive, so all her bookmarks, and (im assuming no on this part but ill ask) her web cache and add them into a new install of Firefox? Is this possible? If I just launch Firefox.exe form the D drive that was originally W7 not W10 would it fire up? It just needs to be alive long enough to do the backup to an HTML file and copy the addresses for the open tabs. Can this be done? PLEASE any\all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Everytime i try to watch shows on Netflix/Hotstar or anyother website, the page crashes down and I get a display as to update my Browser but it is has been updated. I have tried signing out and signing in as well. But the issue does not seem to get solved. Hoping to get help ASAP.

Since the latest version of FF was installed. I can rarely make attachments to emails or upload to websites. I'm having to use another browser for this purpose. I never had this issue until this version. Nothing else on my PC has changed.

I was so in hopes that the latest update (10-19-22) would fix the issue with facebook...but no, after a minute of scrolling on facebook, the screen starts jumping and scolling around without my input. Facebook works fine with Chrome, but I would prefer FF. I know there are a lot of people experiencing same and was hopeful this update would be the fix. Windows 10, most recent update on facebook and now most recent FF update, too.

bookmarks text white on white

Firefox updated to 106.0.2 (64-bit). When I click the sidebar icon, my bookmarks appear on the browser's left side as expected. However the text is not visible. If I hover my mouse over an icon is the list for a bookmark, the link appears. Also not all the bookmark icons appear. There are gaps between bookmarks on the list. Again, I have to hover my mouse over those gaps for bookmark info to appear. How do I make my bookmark list readable/usable again?

Every other day when I open up Firefox, I am asked to do an update. This is not an exaggeration. Literally, every other day this browser says it needs an update. Is this normal? If so, why in the world does this browser need to be updated so unbelievably frequently?
