Did anyone ever Figure-out how to drag link from browser webpage to a Desktop shortcut? So that all you have to do, is click on the Link on the Desktop and it launches that page? It's Funny, ALL** the other browsers permit this, Except for firefox

After the most recent update, yesterday, the Windows Magnifier won’t follow typing in search boxes on web pages. i.e. Youtube, Amazon For instance, I had to type all this in an email and then copy/paste it to this text box. So apparently, it doesn’t follow typing at all on web pages. I am legally blind and I depend on this action. It does follow the typing in the search box on the browser itself, just not on web pages.

Sorry, I have no images to a;actually show this happening, except to say activate the Windows Magnifier and try it yourselves.

Google Gemini offered some solutions in ab out.config, but I rather hear from you guys before I try anything.

Thank you.

Please advise how to turn off all website pass key notifications and/or 'invitations' to set-up pass keys for website accounts. Thank you for your time and assistance.

I am experiencing a significant issue with Mozilla Firefox after the recent update a few days ago. Since the update, I have been unable to access several websites including Facebook and Amazon, which are essential for my daily activities. This problem is quite frustrating as I have to rely on Google Chrome for my browsing needs, a browser I do not prefer. - I have updated to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, but I’m not sure of the exact version number. - I have tried clearing the cache and cookies, but the problem persists. - I would like to know if there are any specific settings that need to be changed or if I should consider reverting to a previous version until this is resolved. Please let me know what steps I can take to restore access to these websites on Firefox. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

When I started Firefox today, there was a new tab with some information about something or other I have completely forgotten, as I soon discovered all of my bookmarks were gone, which is the only thing I can think about right now. I easily found advice about how to switch to another profile that might contain my missing bookmarks, but I have only one profile listed, the default one. I also easily found advice about how to go to the Library and import a backup. I can get as far as clicking "Choose File," but after I do that, absolutely nothing happens, no matter how long I wait.

I have no keyboard access to any application running in Firefox. It was there one minute and gone the next.

I've checked everything. Closed restarted. Haven't uninstalled and reinstalled, but that seems extreme as I've never had this problem before.

Suggestions?

Every time I open Firefox, Avast alerts me about a malicious website. It's always fyabyq.com. It only happens when I first open Firefox. Opening a new window or opening a private browser does not trigger it. I've cleared all cookies, performed a refresh, reinstalled Firefox, checked all my notifications for fyabyq.com, and tried using another browser. Firefox is the only one that gives me the alert. My best guess is it's a homepage add or news article causing it. Anyone know how to fix this?

Jedesmal muss man die Datenschutzbedingungen akzeptieren, das nervt. Bei anderen Browsern ist das nicht so, daher benutze ich ihn nicht mehr. Abstellen kann ich das nicht, habe alles versucht

Bookmarks always disappear whenever firefox decides to update. It's happened to me twice this month. Why does it HAVE to happen and where does the square bookmark icon go that was always in the upper right even after the bookmarks are found? So frustrating.

Hi We switched to W11 today. My bookmarks have transferred to the new system but on my wife’s ‘side’ of the computer they have not. How do I get her bookmarks back please? We each have our own email address so we have two Accounts. Thank you.

I'm on MacOS 15.6, and FFox 142. My company recently rolled out "PSSO" for Mac users, and it works pretty well on non-Microsoft sites. However, when accessing resources behind MS Azure/Entra, such as outlook.com, sharepoint, even github, we get the following error from "login.microsoftonliine.com":

You can't get there from here Your sign-in was successful, but you can't open this resource from this web browser. You might be able to access it from the Safari browser (ask your IT department for a list of approved mobile and desktop applications).

All of these worked fine before PSSO while using Yubikeys (in fact I plan to revert to Yubikey next week).

The IT department says that Mozilla needs to implement this, referencing the "only applies on Windows" statement shown on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/windows-sso . They (and I) have demonstrated that it also works just as intended on Chrome and Edge browsers.

And yet, we see that "Microsoft SSO" was added in FFox 132: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1768724

Who needs to do what to make this work on Microsoft web-apps?

I’m the owner of a Korean webtoon platform at https://newtoki.com.co/, and I’ve recently run into a strange, intermittent issue that only seems to happen in Firefox.

Here’s the situation:

The site loads fine most of the time, but occasionally when I (or some of my users) try to open it, Firefox throws a “Secure Connection Failed” message with an error code like SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT or sometimes NS_ERROR_NET_RESET.

This happens randomly — sometimes on the homepage, sometimes when navigating to a category or content page.

I’ve tested in Chrome and Edge, and the site loads without any errors there.

Steps I’ve taken so far:

Cleared Firefox cache and cookies, restarted the browser — no change.

Tried in Firefox’s Troubleshoot Mode — still happens occasionally.

Contacted my hosting provider — they checked the server logs and SSL configuration and told me everything is fine on their side.

Verified my SSL certificate chain with an online checker — no obvious issues found.

Additional details:

I’m based in Korea and use the site daily for uploading and managing content.

Some users outside Korea have also reported the same error, but not consistently.

The issue started about a week ago, without any major changes to the site’s code or hosting environment.

I’m wondering if this could be related to Firefox’s OCSP stapling checks, a caching issue, or something about how my CDN is serving resources.

Has anyone seen similar behavior in Firefox with otherwise valid HTTPS sites? Any suggestions on what I can check next would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello,

I have noticed that my CPU runs hotter when playing videos in Mozilla Firefox, for example streaming TV series. Youtube seems to be less affected.

My configuration is:

CPU AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16C/32T, up to 5.7 GHz, 128 MB, AM5) MBO Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WiFi7, AMD AM5, WiFi, Bluetooth, ATX RAM G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB AMD Expo, 64 GB (2x32), DDR5 6000 MHz, CL30 SSD Samsung 9100 Pro, 2 TB, M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5, R14700/W13300 GFX Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX9070XT Aorus Elite OC, 16 GB GDDR6 PSU Be QUIET!

The normal CPU temperature was around 47 c (sometimes even 46 c), but it now goes up to 52-53 c. If I disable hardware acceleration, it goes up to 59 c. If I switch tabs to another that only has static content, the temperature drops.

Additionally, when doing the same thing in Google Chrome, the temperature is perfectly normal.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you in advance!
