Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I use my providers web email promail.ptd.net , but they don't have where I can add a sound to incoming email or specific ones.. I did add the promail to your notifications,settings, but can you explain to me what the step would be to get their incoming email to make a sound of choice while using Firefox? or do i have to switch to an email program that already has that option? I wish Eudora would continue!

Wie kann ich bei Auswahl-Knöpfen meine Eingaben wieder sichtbar machen Diese sind zum Teil unsichtbar, zum Beispiel die "X"-Schalter`?

Kann ich meine Einstellungen auf den Standard zurück setzen?

While browsing my Gmail Inbox i notice a old email i got confirming a login, but i never logged in into one of your websites infact this is my first time hearing about moz://a i just now log in to let you know, this might be a attacker that is secretary getting information while using fireFox,

I repeat i never logged in your services, these aren't from me

I would like to be able to download YouTube videos.

Is there a Firefox add-on that will allow me to download YouTube videos onto my MacMini?

I tried Video DownloadHelper and YouTube Video Downloader and didn't see any action.

Do I need to setup settings a certain way to make it work?

What are the steps to make it work?

Thank you for your assistance.

If if I'm watching a video on a site like Youtube or facebook, when I scroll away, a small window of it automatically opens in the lower corner of my screen. How can I stop this. When I scroll away I d like it to just stop the video.

Google seems to be "taking" my mail from my Primary Email address: In My (Mozilla) Account Summary, Google is shown as “Secondary email” that I have the option of making “Primary” or tossing in the garbage can, and as “Linked” (“You have authorized access to the following accounts”: Google, with the option to “Unlink.” (I don't remember "authorizing" this.) Google has been “migrating” emails to my gmail address: XXXXXXXXXXX@gmail.com that are now being duplicated at both addresses. Do I need to remove Google as my Secondary email or as “Linked,” or both, to stop this? (Plus, Google seems to be using the Primary Emails to "optimize" advertising at the Gmail address.)

I have tried to set this up and have filled in and saved details for two credit cards using Firefox.

When I access the payment screen for payment - (in this case for VTTA membership) and click on the credit card number I can see a hover screen with ****1234 or ***5678 indicating my saved cards. When I press return for either card no details are filled in. When I key in the details manually for either card I get a red highlight for all fields and the payment is not processed. Does anyone know what I may have done to cause this?

i am required to supply a foxfire/mozilla password to use my stored payment method-it pops up, however, I've never created a foxfire password and do not have one so my saved credit card info wont work . Please advise

Note: This is also an accessibility issue as those of us with limited or impaired motor control can be inordinately affected in a way that limits our use of Firefox or makes it virtually impossible to use in any use-case more complex than browsing YouTube.

Issue: There are certain, pre-defined, keyboard shortcuts within Firefox whose action is both immediate and irrevocable. Those of us who have limited, or impaired, motor control are particularly susceptible to this, though I have heard anecdotal evidence that other - unimpaired - users suffer from this as well.

Example: There is a particular key combination that I periodically, (accidentally), hit while typing that immediately and irrevocably clears the dialog that I am entering text into - as I am doing here - with no possibility of recovery and no warning that a potentially disastrous action is about to take place.

My specific case, (that is, the most recent instance of my specific case), occurred last night while composing a reply to a topic within the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum addressing a particular, and popular, issue with the sim.

I spent a significant amount of time creating this message - setting paragraph formatting, creating tables, inserting images, carefully crafting the text and such like, that had taken me upwards of an hour to prepare.

While typing - I managed to inadvertently hit a magical "Nuke-and-Destroy" key combination that caused all my lengthy, careful, painstakingly crafted work to immediately vanish with no chance of recovery.

To this very day I still have no idea what combination of keys does this - and if I knew, I would try to suppress it at the keyboard/system level so that Firefox never sees it.

When I searched for a solution to this problem, I found the following article on this site: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1364260]

In essence, (though it was worded much more politely), the answer was that Mozilla knows about the issue of potentially undesirable "magic" key combinations, has no plans to address it, and if you don't like it it just vacuums being you.

Though this particular key combination might be useful in certain cases, (though I cannot imagine what use-case would benefit from accidentally destroying hours of work), the utterly irrevocable nature of the action - and the absolute lack of any warning whatsoever - makes this a classic case in the annals of horrid user interface design; to the point of being a functional bug even though it works as designed.

A more desirable action would be to:

1. Allow it to be disabled entirely, along with the other potentially annoying/disastrous keyboard shortcuts.
2. Provide a (default) action that warns the user that this action is both immediate and irrevocable and allowing the (default) option to abort the action. Extra credit: Allow the user to permanently disable the offending feature from the dialog.
3. In the unlikely event that a particular user might wish to use this regularly and deliberately, allow the user to bypass the warnings and permanently enable the feature - with the caveat that it vacuums being them if they do something wrong - not unlike the disclaimer when accessing about:config.

I would suggest that this action, and the action of other "magic" keys/key-combinations within Firefox represents a significant burden to those of us who may already be struggling to use a keyboard. Perpetuating this class of issue, especially since it's a known issue and there's no desire whatsoever to accommodate those of us negatively affected by it, borders on both arrogance and ableism.

I would like to humbly place this request at the feet of whomever is responsible for this atrocious policy and earnestly request they reverse this unpleasant and destructive behavior.

Respectfully submitted: Jim Harris.

Good day

Firefox was working fine till yesterday. No changes of any kind were made.

Firefox will no longer play any audio.

Audio plays just fine from every other browser and Windows test.

I have attempted and followed many variations of suggestions and still no sound. Been through permissions.

Any one have a silver bullet to get audio back?

Thanks

Attempted to do an Firefox update more than a month ago on my HP (microsoft windows) computer. Everytime I open my computer I gt the Firefox Crash Reporter Window. When I hit the Quit firefox box it submits the crash report and then I X out the box. I cannot use Firefox as a browser. The DISASTER is that I CANNOT open any files previously downloaded while using Firefox (eg PDF files). I get the crash report box. I NEED these files!

Please HELP!
