When I use the search engine it will not open and says "Hmm we're having trouble finding that site". My Bookmarks all work and open fine but i cannot search anything?

It can take many closing clicks to get rid of this warning and comes back again after a short while. What should I do? Tried searching with Malwarebytes itself and found no problems. Web search the same.

A week ago I got a BSOD that ruined the settings of most of my extensions and some of the Firefox's settings (at least it erased my custom findbar.matchdiacritics value, but most likely not just that). After that I moved Firefox's folder and re-installed it. Extensions were also reinstalled.

Before that, Firefox would ask the primary password only when I open it or when I try to reveal a password in the password manager. Now it may (or may not) ask the primary password before an autofill or even for no apparent reason. How can I get back the old behavior?

I tried to set signon.masterPasswordReprompt.timeout_ms to 0, but it didn't seems to help.

A week ago I got a BSOD that ruined settings of most of my extensions and most likely some of Firefox's settings too (at least it erased my custom findbar.matchdiacritics value, but probably not just that). After that I moved Firefox's folder and re-installed it. I also created a new profile. The 2 profiles are synced. Because of that, the new profile got (almost) all the extensions from the old one automatically. Then, I decided to do a clean install of those extensions (the reason why is a story for another ticket). So, while both profiles were opened, I removed one extension in the new profile, waited for a bit and checked the old one to see if it got removed from there too. At first it wasn't, so I thought they are not synced (anymore). Yeah, sure, but once I removed all extensions from the new one, the old one woke up and removed all extensions from there too. Great! Awesome! Loved it wholeheartedly! It really had to wait until I removed them all, didn't it? Anyway, I had a backup of my old profile, so I restored my extensions and their settings on both profiles eventually. So now I have clean installs of Firefox and extensions. Back to the issue. I can't load Steam pages (at least store.steampowered and steamcommunity) normally anymore. They load forever, and if the blue dot eventually stops moving (after an insane amount of time), it's either a plain white screen, or badly loaded page with most images missing.

• Edge loads them just fine
• Steam client loads them just fine.
• If I turn on VPN plugin (I use Browsec), then it works. It's like that in both old and new profile. That's why I mentioned that funny little story before.
• Tried Troubleshoot Mode, didn't help.
• Tried to selectively disable some extensions, same.
• Obviously tried to remove cookies, Ctrl + F5 and whatnot. Btw, if I clean everything and try to load it, then it's (most likely?) a white page, but if I turn the VPN on and load it first, and then turn it off and reload it, then it will look a bit better, but still will load forever with some media missing. (Which kinda make sense since something was already cached.)
• Tried to change proxy settings from “Use system proxy settings” to “No proxy” and “Auto-detect proxy settings for this network”, nah-ah.
• Tried to disable DNS in Firefox's settings, no siree.
• The console throws different warning and errors every time (that are probably even unrelated). Or none at all.
• Probably tried something I already forgot about.

Also, it seems the culprit is actually Akamai (it's where the Steam stores its media) or whatever is preventing reaching it. Because it often shows something like “Waiting for community.akamai.steamstatic.com...” in the status bar for a long time. It seems like the problem is within Firefox's settings, and it also looks like settings aren't synced across profiles (or at least some aren't, I definitely had to configure them on the new profile manually). Anyway, I am out of ideas and my butthurt thrust is about to deliver me to Uranus. Thanks for your attention!

Is it possibile to change horizontal or vertical size of the main firefox window using mouse? Now I am able to open only one size between the maximum and minimum. Why? Mary

I am having trouble with Firefox that's very odd: the tabs keep overlapping and I am not able to click on links.

It keeps happening randomly and I have no idea why!

I've attached a screen grab so you can see what I mean.

When this happens I have to close down the tabs in question and then reopen them.

Never had this issue before.

Browser lässt das Öffnen von Popups oder Links zu externen Quellen zu. Das möchte ich deaktivieren !!!

Problem: in meiner Excel Tabelle werden ständig Hyperlinks aktiviert. - obwoh das Seitens Excel dekaktiviert wurde.

Die Fehlermeldung lautet: dass der verwendete Brower externe Quellen zuläßt. Wenn es nicht möglich ist, dieses zu ändern, muß ich einen anderen Browser verwenden.

Wo, in den Einstellungen kann ich das ändern? - dekativieren

Besten Dank im voraus

Has any body else found Firefox relay to be mostly useless? I put up with the annoyance for a few days and then had to get rid of it.

I did use it once to get past the id page for a purchase just to look at the freight cost. Too much, so the tab was closed straight away and the masked email did not leave my computer.

The problem is that signing up to new accounts or providing your email online is something that is done only very rarely compared to the number of times your email has to be used to login to an existing account but relay has to be in the way every time.

Just a hint to the developers, those accounts already have my email and they will never lose them. Also if I need to use my email to sign in, giving a mask email is not going to work very well.

Relay is a great idea if only it could determine the right time to get in the way.

By providing a solution to this odd problem if possible.

To give a bit more detail:

On my Dell Precision 7540 laptop:

When using the Bing search engine vertical scrolling with the mouse wheel does not work in Bings 'search results list' unless the mouse pointer is over the vertical scroll bar when scrolling behaves correctly.

If one of the results in the 'search list' is selected, and the resultant site displayed, then vertical scrolling with the mouse wheel works correctly, exactly as expected.

This failure of vertical scrolling occurs only with Bing. Using other search engines vertical scrolling works correctly without problems. I am 99% sure that this erroneous behaviour is new.

On my Dell Latitude 6540 laptop: No scrolling problems. Everything works as it should.

The above leads me to believe that my scrolling problem is some kind of ‘settings’ issue. I have therefore thoroughly examined all ‘settings’ in both Bing and Firefox, including about:config, but alas without finding any solution.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might cause this issue and how it may be resolved? Thanking you all for your excellent service.

Firefox ignores my setting for English language. It decides to use the language of the country that I am traveling in. I tried to go to settings and make English my language. Firefox ignores the settings. It loads pages in languages that I do not understand. How can I make Firefox use English if it is already set to English in the Settings?

Hi everyone Since sep-15, The "Open previous windows and tabs" function is NOT working .. everytime i have to reopen all the previous tabs. I am not sure if any update has caused this. Please help. Thanks

Hi,

I bookmarked a page of a website today and when I attempted to bookmark another I was unable to do so. I checked the troubleshooting advise here and I tried to restore my bookmarks to an earlier date, but that attempt failed. After that, all my bookmarks disappeared and I'm unable to bookmark anything at this point.

I've attached a screenshot of what it says in the Places Database.

Thank you. Deborah

My husband and I both use Firefox as our default browser. His macbook air did an auto update of his firefox and now he has no bookmarks, no search history and none of his many open windows are there. He has to file his timesheets tonight so we can get paid in a month's time. What help can you offer? His email if [edited] @telus.net and he can be reached at [edited phone# and email from public support forum] We are in the Pacific Time Zone.

I am an online Spanish teacher, and I have been having some trouble. I use Google Meet and a page called Preply to do my classes. When I share my screen, my students can hear any audio (if I am sharing a YouTube video or an audio recording I've made). I don't see any options to allow my audio to be shared, and it's not a Google Meet or Preply problem because as soon as I use Opera or Google, it works. I am not sure what to do

microsoft edge has AGAIN fouled up my entire system; nothing newsworthy there. i managed to get my 3 profiles running again, but my "tabs groups" feature is gone and i only have the tabs i put in available.

can anyone tell me how to get my firefox tab groups working again?

i do a lot of research online and had dozens of groups and hundreds of tabs. these are now not showing up at all.

is there some way to go back to a working firefox tab groups or which file they would be in, etc.?

Thanks for any help! Wolfgang [edited email from public]
