Firefox Community Forum

I use Private Browsing to read a newspaper, not behind a paywall, for the main reason it hides all the adds. But just this last few weeks I keep getting the message "Please allow ads on out site" more and more not a great problem I just refresh the page and like magic gone. I like to open each story in a new tab so when I have read the paper I can have a whole lot of tabs all with just one story so after I read the story I close the tab and still have the paper opened where I left off for quicker navigation in its original tab. I do not have an Ad Blocked running in Private Browsing mode but as you can see the site thinks I am. Is there anything that can prevent this from happening? see attached.

Many thanks.

For a number of months, I have not been able to update firefox to my Linux system. I download it and opened the downloaded file, opened various files, but nothing happens. I have tried using various methods to download and update it, but I continue to get a message that update is available. I'm currently using 121.0.1. I have a number of download files in my download folder, such as..."/home/jim/Downloads/firefox-128.0(1).tar.bz2" I tried to uninstall and reinstall "How to remove Mozilla Firefox from Ubuntu"

   sudo apt remove firefox.
   sudo rm -Rf /usr/bin/firefox.
   sudo rm -Rf /usr/loca/firefox.
   sudo snap remove firefox.

and then this "Install Firefox" First, add the Mozilla signing key $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6DCF7707EBC211F. And then install the latest version of Firefox with this command: $ sudo apt install firefox. These commands seem to complete normally, but I continue to get "update available" messages. I give up. I've done everything I can think of. Help would be greatly appreaciated. Jim

I see where other people have posed this question but the procedure offered is not available to me.

I am using Firefox (Flatpak) version 121.0 on an Ubuntu 22.04 laptop.

On installing a new extension I should either see the extension's icon on my toolbar or else have a clear means of adding it. I have neither.

Clicking on the jigsaw icon in the toolbar, I get migrated to the about:addons page. On clicking the Extensions tab, I get the screen listing all installed extensions. Each extension has a ... icon beside it. But when I click on this, there is no "Pin To Toolbar" option.

What is wrong here ?

Online forms don't appear in Firefox (Windows 10 PC), but do appear correctly using Edge or Chrome. This has been happening for quite some time. I have o switch to Edge or Chrome to see the fields to fill in on online forms.

How most of the the "serious" articles of those recommended come from moderately left to very left sources. The well-intentioned but hopelessly misguided (and often destructive) selections from the NYT, Atlantic, Vox, New Yorker, etc. are of little little interest or use to me. Please consider articles and opinion pieces from the WSJ. American Spectator, NR, etc. as well. You might just increase revenue and profit. Thanks! Ted Alpert

It's been a while, but I've seen this before. What causes this? Can i prevent it? The blank icons also appear next to the most of the affected addons in about:addons.

I was able to restore normality, at least for the moment, by disabling those addons, re-enabling, then restarting.

only sometimes, when i get a new tab, from double click or anywhere else, appears a blue circle on the left side of the tab bar, it comes from the browser it gets bigger. ive just seen it from the corner of my eye. it just happens real quick

can someone help

Hey there! After updating Firefox to 121.0.1 YouTube latest videos box not showing. It appears for a few seconds after page is loaded, but then just disappears. Checked on another computer -- the same issue, although in 120.0.1 works fine.

Accidentally logged out of my account in the browser and when I logged back in nothing has been saved even though I know it was synced up. Every bookmark and password saved is gone completely its like my account has been reset. Yes I'm using the same email to log in.

This doesn't happen every time, but certainly more frequently than it should. Is there anything that can be done about this. Is this about competing for resources. Maxing out the CPU?

Just now occurred. Firefox closed shortly after opening Chrome. No crash notification. Then, Chrome froze, with one of those "Close program or wait" messages.

Version 121.0 just installed automatically. Tried to change home page to Google.com and when I click on the home icon, page doesn't load. In fact, no URL that I type in will load. Using Windows 11 which is up-to-date.

The only page that loads is Firefox home.

HELP!!!

I love this addon, but sometimes it doesn't respond. it hasn't been updated since 2017 and the support page is inaccessible.

Is there a something similar available?

Greetings,

My Firefox keeps crashing randomly even though it's a new PC with very capable good hardware. My old laptop used to run 100s of tabs without any issues.

However, on this new PC, the crashes are fucked even though I barely have about 20 tabs open.

Here are some crashing reports:

Kindly help. Thank you.

Ever since the last update the browser's font has been garbled (tabs, address bar, settings page, etc). Some websites show this problem too.

I tried downgrading back to 119 and it displays fine. I was force updated back to 121 and it's broken again.

I can no longer access my online banking at td.com - the server returns the following message: "Bad Request - Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

The online banking works normally with Safari. Please help me fix this quickly.

Thank you.
