Firefox Community Forum

Dear support person,

When streaming video games on multiple platforms i use a dock from a website called social stream Ninja. This opens a browser page that shows chats from 3 platforms, Twitch, Youtube and Kick. I have a dual PC setup, so i game on the first PC with the second PC running the actual stream through a capture card.

When i go into SteamVR, i add a desktop panel with that exact dock/webpage on firefox, but the page "pauses" and chat doesn't update anymore. I thought this was a focus issue, so i tried this plugin = Always active Window - Always Visible

Sadly FireFox still doesn't update the page, therefore stream chat doesn't show up, the page pauses. A sort of work-around is running the game in borderless window, but this is VR, and eats up quite the bit of performance, fullscreen is preferred. The borderless window works on Assetto Corsa VR, but on Dirt Rally 2 VR it doesn't, so I really need FireFox to update the page in the background.

I've been tearing my hair out trying to find a solution, the 'focus' plugin was my best idea.

Any chance you could help me?

Kind Regards,

Carlo

All of a sudden the allow location permission window is popping up repeatably. I have the option turned off and every time I go to Amazon or Home Depot or any such place the window ops up requesting that location location tracing for the sites. I tried toggling the on/off for the option but it didn't stop it. Help!

When I was previously using Firefox in Kubuntu 22.04, if I downloaded something I could go to the Downloads icon and click on the download and it would open in the desired application. After a failed upgrade to 24.04 I had to do a reinstall and now in Kubuntu 24.04, if I click on a downloaded file it will always bring up a window with "Open the file link with okular?" and the buttons Cancel and Open Link below. How do I go back to the previous way of it working?

Firefox crashes every day or so on my home computer. The most common error message is "kmode exception not handled." I've tried the suggested fixes. Nothing helps. The crashes are not being recorded in "about crashes" or in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\. So it seems the crash reporter has to be fixed before the problem causing the crashes can be identified. Firefox does not crash on my office computer and no other program causes my home computer to crash. Thank you.

After having gone through the whole list of items in: "Finish setup" and seeing each item appearing to have been completed this note had continued to display on that bar. How do i resolve this?

When using chat software, there may be shortcut key conflicts, and the sidebar will still open when using shortcut keys even after being closed.

In the settings, the AI robot is turned off, but when using shortcut keys, the options for the AI robot will still be turned on by itself and cannot be turned off.

Lost Bookmarks after Microsoft upgrade(?) Since I'm using the latest version of Windows I don't know what to call what happened that came by way of Microsoft. So far as I know, I'm the only one reporting this. It would seem that if this was a change initiated by Microsoft it should have affected millions of users.

Just recently I have found that certain sites are unavailable to me using Firefox but I can access them using Edge or Chrome. One particular one is Squarespace.

Is there anything known - how should I tackle this?

Got new desktop and cannot retrive my bookmarks. Granted old machine was 16 yrs old. I'd figure Firefox would have have a back up system. I'm 70 years young and this has got me scraching my head!!!! Not a computer expert. Thanks George

Hello!

I have Firefox in all my units and it has worked very well over the years. Until I activated Avast SecureLine VPN on my computer HP Microsoft 11.

When the computer is connected to wifi/internet and VPN is activated, the Firefoxprogram won´t start correct. It says I am offline. If I then turn VPN of and update the page it will work immediately. As soon the page start the update I can turn VPN on and it will work on every link and page.

What can I do to get rid of this problem?

I can not remember my Sync password and it will not let me change it. Every avenue is blocked by a pop up window asking me for the password that I forgot!! This is insane!

No idea if this is the right topic or not but I've been dealing with this frustrating issue where with some websites it just loads a blank white screen. I've tried every fix I could that I've seen on forums like this as well as on Reddit and nothing I've tried has fixed it. From launching in Safe Mode or changing things in about:config. Before finishing this post I tried launching in safe mode, so my add-ons and plugins are disabled and it still persists with websites loading in these blank white screens. I never had this issue at first and I'm sure it started to happen after an automatic update a while back.

I need this issue sorted out so I can look and compare items from shops but most of the time a website that works and I look at it elsewhere I'm dealing with this issue. No issue looking at stuff on the internet on my phone, though I do use safari instead on my phone.

Before I update Firefox I had all my accounts and passwords. Now I have lost them all. When I asked you to import them, you only gave me a very old facebook account and no passwords
