Firefox Community Forum

Hi! This just started today. Not a problem before but...there is some ad blocker that won't let me watch you tub videos on my computer. I've tried fumbling around in settings, privacy, ad blockers etc but not finding the magic button. Any suggesions I'm on a windows 11 pc, using firefox and Gmail suite apps

I received an email saying I had not signed in for two years and so would be cancelled. I use Firefox every day, multiple times. I have never seen a request to sign in. I don't even see an option for that on the screen. I have selected for the site to remember my password. Please advise. I created a new password to sign in to this help forum. Firefox for MAC

Find in Page is no longer working properly. It will find the first string of characters, but if there's a space it finds nothing.

For example, it will find "sweet", but won't find "sweet potato".

iCloud has stopped signing in on the Firefox browser for Windows. I contacted Apple Support and they told me that this is an issue on Firefox's part, and told me to try signing in the next morning and they guarantee it'll work. It did not. In fact, it has been over a week, and it still does not work.

When I enter my Apple ID and Password, the website gives me an error "Failed to verify your identity. Try again." The website does NOT send me to the 2fa screen, yet it still sends a 2fa code to my iPad nonetheless.

As Apple has said this is an issue on Firefox's part, I am posting this here. Attached is a screenshot of the error.

I cannot log into websites that use CloudFlare as their CDN. ChatGPT gave me a laundry list of things to check, and after exhausting that list, I decided that the great developers at Mozilla might be able to steer me in the right direction. Below is what ChatGPT suggested:

I asked:

> When trying to log into any resource that uses the CloudFlare CDN I get the following response: > > Icon for givewp.comgivewp.com > > Verify you are human by completing the action below. > givewp.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. > Ray ID: 90067ba77ed70ff1 > Performance & security by Cloudflare > > After checking if I am human or not, the login proc fails with no error message and then just presents the captcha again. > > This only occurs when I attempt to login to resources that use the CloudFlare CDN. > > Is this a known issue with CloudFlare. If it is, is there a known solution to the issue?

ChatGPT replied:

> Experiencing a recurring CAPTCHA verification loop when attempting to access websites utilizing Cloudflare's security services is a known issue that can arise due to various factors. To address this problem, consider the following steps: > > Disable Browser Extensions: Certain browser extensions, particularly those related to privacy, security, or ad-blocking, may interfere with Cloudflare's verification process. Temporarily disable these extensions to determine if they are the cause. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Add-ons and themes". > Disable the relevant extensions. > > Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Accumulated cache and cookies can sometimes lead to verification issues.

If the problem persists, it may be indicative of a more complex issue requiring further investigation.

I'm trying to get my wife's firefox browsers synced - mainly her laptop and phone. I've got the phone signed in and working fine, but on her laptop there's no option to sign in and the sync option is missing from the settings menu?

It seems to be profile related as if I create a new blank profile the option is there - but if I copy all the data from her original profile the option goes missing again. Short of manually copying all her data over, I'm a bit stuck for what to do next - any ideas?

I've tried disabling any addons, restarting in troubleshooting mode etc. I've also looked at all the other solutions I can find from here (mostly related to group policies, there's nothing enabled on this) and everything seems as it should be.

I haven't tried reinstalling, but it seems like this is a profile issue rather than an installation issue?

It's a Win 11 laptop (upgraded from W10 if that makes a difference), FF version is 135.0 64 bit.

Thanks!

Hello, Can anyone help me with this problem. I can't login my account. I have the firefox and the firefox developer edition. I use them both for personal and developer related browsing. Screenshot is attached. Thank you

I did a clean install of Windows 10 on a larger SSD for my laptop. After installing my Bitdefender AV and firewall software I installed Firefox latest version. I cannot login to sync my account. My email address keeps getting rejected with the message: “Mistyped email? *name@domain*.com does not offer email”. It is the same email that I have used to sync Firefox across all my devices and Win 10 PC’s. It is a domain we bought or registered for a private email service. It is the same email I used to create this account using Firefox on my iPad to make this bug report. Firefox is allowed thru the firewall, but many Windows sub programs are not. I did reboot several times after install with the same result. Currently not running any extensions as I haven’t tried to install them without sync. Is there some windows service or sub program I need to unblock? Never had this issue on any other device or PC when trying to sync. Any suggestions appreciated thanks!

I need to sign in so that I can sync my profile but am getting this error message when trying to reset the password "Primary account email required for reset". I'm not sure what this means.

I'm unable to log into my social security account when using firefox. Have no trouble with safari.

I get the following when using firefox:

400 Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

SOO! Mozilla is the browser BUT Outlook Hotmail is the messaging app. Did not know that. Assumed they were one in the same company. Over the years I somehow transitioned from Hotmail to Outlook which I assumed are one in the same. It appears my problem of inserting a picture into an email text lays with MS not Mozilla! How do I fix that? Can/should I switch to Mozilla Hotmail or is that automatically Outlook???

Inserting picture in email text does not work. When attempting to drag/Insert picture into email text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears. I have not been able to find a solution. The dragged/Inserted picture always ends up outside the email text box and cannot be moved into it. Firefox 133.03 64-bit is up to date on Windows 10.

Is there a MS forum like Mozilla??? I am not the only person having this problem.

I and others have talked about this with Mozilla. There is no way to turn off the "Sign in with Google" pop up prompt that occurs with almost every website. One has to close it manually. It really sucks! I love firefox, but have moved to Chrome to avoid this distasteful issue.

I use a dark background theme to reduce glare. Text usually appears white, as expected. Today, 12/13/24, the text is black. I am using version 133.0.3 (64-bit) Firefox Browser. I downloaded an update within the past few days, and while I have used the browser, I haven't typed anything onto a browser page until this morning.

Text and background appear normal with other applications.

I was wondering whether this has been reported or found previously.

I am continuing my search for other applications this my affect.
