Firefox Support Forum

Hi, I noticed about a week ago that when I would have Firefox windows open on more than 3 of my displays, the newest window, when maximized, would appear with white bars. This does not occur when Windowed or when troubleshoot mode is on. I have attached a photo of the error (suggestions omitted for my own privacy). Bugged window does not respond in this state and cursor does not blink etc. Other Firefox windows work fine. I'm running a custom color scheme, Dark Reader for Firefox, and AdBlock for Firefox. Issue does not occur with Chrome or Edge, which have the same, if not more extensions loaded. Glitch presented itself near the beginning of November.

Please help!

I'll check on this every once in a while, and am willing to run tests.

This is the link that Fox was reporting difficulties playing on a Mac running Firefox. I just ran it on my ancient imac using an older LTS version of firefox and am not having any problems (nor with chrome)-

In Google Forms, I expect a dropdown here to pick the date.

Any idea what is going on here?

Thanks,

yea i don't need help but i cannot believe you guys made an firefox installer so small so its only "390 KB" and a floppy disk only has 1.44 MB meaning it can fit into a storage thing from 40 years ago man that's crazy

(also I'm using you're firefox browser on my crappy 8 years old windows 10 laptop, and ngl its great even tho it sometimes uses a lot of cpu and ram usage it loads fast and the first time i got you're browser it ran great and this old laptop finally can run videos on 720p instead of on chrome barely running 240p)

I found an answer to this question, but I need it in English; how to do this if you're not a programmer. The new feature is beyond annoying, so if someone wants to work on making it optional, that would be a super improvement, but I'll be happy if I can just turn it off! Thank you

A couple of weeks ago the scroll wheel on my Logitech mouse stopped working with Firefox. It works fine on all other applications on my computer but will not work on any web page or any Firefox menu. I am not using XMBC. I updated to Firefox 119.0.1 this morning and it didn't make any difference.

My apple computer performed an uninitiated re-boot and now the Firefox icon in the task bar does not show Firefox as running, but when I click on the icon it tells me that Firefox is open and it cannot open another window. How to I shut Firefox down and re-start it?

hi Edge is 2x faster then Firefox using Onshape 3D cad cad program Firefox picks another driver GTX 980/PCIe/SSE2 Edge use Gforce RTX 3060 PCIe SSe2 How can I make Firefox use the same driver as Edge

In the past when I reinstalled Windows and then Firefox, I would sign into my account and all my bookmarks/addons etc. would automatically get reinstalled. Today I had to reinstall Windows and when I logged into my firefox account, nothing happened. Does Mozilla no longer keep these settings for us? I don't have any other devices to sync off of and never have, so where did all those settings come from when I did previous reinstalls?

As run into before, i have constant frustration that was motivating me to switch browsers from FireFox where when i open a webpage in FF i am not seeing full content. I use an extension to then open that page in Edge, and i then do see full content.

The most recent example of this is https://www.godaddy.com/help/contact-us where in FireFox the "chat" link did not appear, but in Edge it did. Similar experiences occur when attempting to log into my account at whitepages.com where in logging in FireFox errors out or returns me repeatedly to the login page, yet Edge completes the process without issue. The Whitepages issue has been ongoing for over 6 months.

Thoughts?

Thank you!

I was using Lightspeed today, and the website pops up a confirmation dialog box (probably through JavaScript) so that you can confirm that you want to do a specific action. I got annoyed with the dialog and clicked the included "Don't allow this website to show prompts anymore" box when I hit OK. But now it won't perform any action that requires you to hit the OK in the prompt, so I need to make the dialogs come back so I can do my job. I can't find any setting anywhere in the browser that I have actually disabled or changed by hitting the box in that prompt.

Hello all,

I'd like to now if it's possible to roll out a version of Firefox with password manager disable. While still be able to have the account option enable so Bookmarks and History can be synced.

As my work place has disable Firefox account sync saying they cannot disable Firefox password manger.

If someone could please if this is possible is so can you share how this would be done.

Thanks, Nathan.

Just pointing out the idiocy of this software... despite having tabs with multiple pages of the same host website open, Muppet-Zilla FireFux starts giving me the old Secure Connection Failed rubbish. Take the link, open it in public of MFF, it opens fine. Even a page that was open fine, try to open a link it, Secure Connection Failed rubbish. Hit the back key, A PAGE THAT WAS OPENED, then Secure Connection Failed rubbish. Yet in CCLeaner, Vivaldi, Chrome, Edge, no issues. So, I guess the message in that is clear - uninstall MFF, never install again. Good to know.

Office online will not load correctly. I've attached an example of how Excel loads. This is happening with Word as well. Cache was already cleared and the browser was reset as well.

The box in Settings > General > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs is still unticked.

Does anyone know what could be causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks :)

Using text boxes such as comment sections in certain sites will "duplicate" the boxes directly over it Scrolling up and down will lock the boxes on screen and leave multiple traces of the text boxes Refreshing the page will remove the boxes temporarily but will happen again Happens inconsistently on multiple websites Site shown under is dcinside.com

I have DNS over HTTPS enabled and set to Default Protection in Firefox.

According to the following article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dns-over-https?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#w_why-would-a-network-tell-firefox-not-to-use-secure-dns) DNS over HTTPS should automatically switch to "Not Active" when connected to a VPN.

I am using the NordVPN CLI for linux and have found that when I connect to the VPN, Firefox DNS over HTTPS stays active and does not switch to "Not Active" like it is supposed to.

Does anyone know why this might be happening?
