Firefox Community Forum

There is a site for the california l and It suddenly won't function right. iInstead I get a banner telling me that GPC has been enabled. How can I get things workng properly again.

Absolutely furious. My bookmarks have completely disappeared and none of your suggested 'articles' is any help at all. I certainly won't be using Mozilla any more if you can't tell me how to rectify this.

I installed Firefox on a fresh Win 11 install, and most of the the favicons are still generic on the Home Page several days later. Facebook, Ebay and Youtube are the only ones that appear consistently, sometimes other will display, but then be gone again the next time the app is launched. All other links just have the generic letter icons.

I tried deleting the 3 favicon files in the Profiles folder, but it did nothing. I've tried manually re-adding the links, still nothing. I removed the "S" from "https;//" and still nothing. The favicons all show up on my other machines which use Firefox on the same user account, so it is not a problem with the websites themselves.

Not sure if its related, but upon installing Firefox on this machine, it made Firefox on my Mac desktop absolutely freak out. I had to make a significant number of changes over the course of hours to fix everything, so many relating to favicons alone that I don't know what actually fixed it.

What else can I do to try and get these working? Why does Firefox apparently struggle with this particular feature across multiple OSes?

Thanks.

like the title says, usually at least once a day firefox will just stop loading web pages entirely. more specifically, it gets stuck loading any page infinitely. occasionally if i wait long enough things will start loading again, but usually that time never comes and i have to restart the browser. i'm kind of a tab hoarder so restarting the browser can be annoying in itself, since i have to wait for the browser to load. i'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this with extensions and the like since i haven't noticed any trend in when the problem occurs. weirdly enough, it happened while i was typing this and while every other website fails to load, the mozilla support site is consistently fine. any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Several sites I frequently visit have the option to skip the verification code process "for this browser". Although I check the box for this choice, the next time I go to log in there, it still requires me to go through the process. What do I have to do to fix this? Thanks in advance for your help!

This is not the first time you have sent an email to me indicating I should "View all sites where your info is exposed", and each time I receive your emails the sites you suggest are sites I have never seen before, let alone logged into with a password.

I use a Password Organizer Book, with all of my logins and passwords for each site I use. I do not use a password app, and have NEVER used a password app. Each time I go to the website you suggest, It's always a site I have never seen before so it would be impossible to login and change the password. I always check my Password Organizer Book to make sure.

I don't know what you want me to do since I cannot login to the website you are suggesting. Is there action I should be taking? I don't know what it would be, but if you know please let me know.

Upgraded to FF 142.0 and don't have the Link Preview that was described in the new release info. You can now see what’s behind a link before visiting it with Link Previews. Long press a link (or right-click and choose Preview Link). Previews can optionally include AI-generated key points, which are processed on your device to protect your privacy. Long press does nothing and right click on link doesn't have a preview option. I am using Windows 10 which is current and 64 bit. Don't really care all that much, but they said it was there for EN version and it isn't.

Hi Folks, When I open a particular web site and click login Firefox shows/suggests use of my actual username. I'd like that to NOT happen (i.e. show nothing) for that (or a few) web sites. How do I stop the suggestion of login usernames for a few, selected web sites? Warm regards, Robert Myers ( dr.rbmyers@gmail.com )

NOTE: I am using Firefox Extended Release Version: 115.23.1esr (64-bit)

Hello,

When I edit a blog Post in Wordpress, there are critical buttons missing from the top-right of the screen, and only 2 of the buttons display, but even they are askew and out of place:

See Image #1.

I have to use an old Brave browser to see the buttons:

See Image #2.

Any help at getting this rectified would be great.

Thank you in advance.

I use an IMac (15.6) to sign political petitions online on sources I trust, but the new Firefox version (128.14) seems to require that all GPC be disabled to do so. Can GPC be used selectively? Attached is a typical warning. Thanks for your expert thoughts.

When trying to preview a book in google, I receive the notification 'Website will not allow Firefox to display the page'. I read the page that explains what to do, and tried to open the page in another window, it would only be a tiny picture. If I try to left click the 'preview' button to open in another tab, there isn't an option for that. I can't take a screenshot of it because the left click goes away when I try. I understand that the block is a safety measure, but it's really annoying and I literally can't use firefox to preview books.

Yesterday (8/19/2025) I updated to Firefox v. 142 from v. 141.0.3. The Firefox update was the last thing I did prior to shutting down my computer. Today, when I booted up with version 142.0 many of my bookmarked websites don't work. I am using a iMac Retina 5k, 27-inch, late 2015 desktop computer using macOS Monterey v. 12.7.6

I called Apple tech department & explained my problem (see above). He had me delete the cookies for Firefox to see if that would correct the problems. It did NOT resolve the problems. He had me switch to Safari browser to see if I could the access the websites with which I was unable to access. I was able to do so. He stated that the problem was with Firefox and that he could NOT help me any further.

I have NOT used Safari for a decade or more and am NOT familiar with it because I found Firefox to be much better and easier to use. Until yesterday, I had NO problems. Now I am desperate to be able to continue to use Firefox but can't access important sites that had been available until the 142 upgrade. HELP, PLEASE

I started using Firefox a few months ago after the new Profile Manager was introduced. Created a bunch of profiles and setup everything the way that I want. Now I started using another PC and want to replicate my setup on it. I thought Sync would be able to do this but it just copied over one profile and it also didn't copy over my Shortcut configuration. Is there a way to duplicate the way Firefox is setup on one PC to another PC, down to every detail? Thanks!

I use debian linux. I do not want GPC because civicshoutfoundation will not allow me to sign petitions. I unclicked "Tell websites not to sell or share my data" but civic shout still says I am using GPC. Is theree another setting I should change?
