Firefox Support Forum

I have noticed that recently a lot of well-known and trusted sites(eg- youtube) are showing connection not secure (Parts of page are not secure such as images and any information that you share may be leaked -passwords etc) . Sometimes when I reload the site, it again shows connection secure.

Is this a glitch or something to be worried about and is there a solution?

Firefox Version - 88.0.1 (64-bit) OS- Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

firefox 88.0.1-1 on linux Since recently firefox started to open random udp ports that's what i see in netstat udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:36531 0.0.0.0:* 16227/firefox udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:43783 0.0.0.0:* 16227/firefox It only happens on some sites likes youtube and discord is that related to http3 in some way? there is nothing in about:networking

I am just not sure if this is anything to be concerned with, i did a bunch of searches for firefox open ports, but couldn't find an answer

I am suffering from slow load times -- especially the first time when the firefox is loaded for that day. Likewise there is a big pause when I go into settings -- saved usernames/passwords. Over the years I built up thousands of these pairings..

How can I easily remove all the old ones - say a year or older?

Please don't say, select the one, click delete, answer to are you sure prompt etc, as these actions take ages to do one at a time.

I have a problem with some JavaScript code that is run on a hashchange event.

The code updates the web document, and also the document.title. The document.title is modified last.

If not modifying document.title, everything works fine. If updating document.title, the code sometimes fails, but not always. The symptoms are as follows.

• The document.title is updated correctly, according to the A-tag with the hash URL that was clicked.
• The URL field in the browser is not updated to the new value.
• Non of the other document updates are done, even if they are performed on the code lines before changing document.title.

If a move the mouse outside Firefox and click in another window, the browser URL field is updated and the rest of the document is updated.

I then tried the code in google-chrome. There everything works fine.

If I add a console.log() in the hashchange eventhandler, everything works fine. Another work-around is to use window.setTimeout and delay modification of document.title by e.g. 10ms.

Is this a problem in Firefox, or am I not supposed to modify document.title on the hashchange event?

I am using Firefox 88.01 for Fedora 33.

I guess I should not include HTML and JavaScript in this editor?

I discover that when I disable history in security param and reboot firefox it deactivate all add-on from working on tool bar. Firefox Ubuntu 88.0.1 (64 bits) Ubuntu 21.04

Hi,

Am I the only one plagued with an issue about the option "View" > "Toolbars" > "Bookmarks Toolbar" > "Only Show on new Tab" ?

It finally used to work until version 88

(prior to that I had to use custom css tricks)

With 89, it does not work anymore

Hi,

I've just discovered that the "compact" layout has been removed from Firefox version 89.

On top of that it look slike custom css is no more supoprted either.

Is there hope to get the compact layout back ? Where should we upvote for feature requests or the like ?

Hi

Is there some way to get the Ctrl + D window resizable? I find it a pain trying to scroll through my bookmarks to find a location to save to through a very small window.

Thanks!

The 89.0 update is great, but I'm disappointed by the new homepage (see the picture). The font is too small, and if I scale the page, the lower row doesn't fit to the screen. A good option would be to remove the useless huge Firefox logo in the middle of the page and to shift the search bar up. Then I could just scale the page. Is there a way to do it?

Changing fonts on every page is not a satisfying solution, I only want to fix the homepage.

I have an automated process to download new Mozilla releases: It downloads them, downloads the SHA file, checks the SHA file's PGP signature, then checks the file's SHA hash.

Today, while downloading Firefox 89.0, It bombed out, telling me that the signing key is "4360FE2109C49763186F8E21EBE41E90F6F12F6D", and that I don't have that public key.

No problem, I thought. Mozilla's probably just got a new signing key. I'll just grab a copy from the keyservers.

But I can't. It doesn't appear on any of the three keyservers I tried (MIT, PGP Global Directory, or key-server.io). Have I missed something? If it's only available on the Mozilla website, that doesn't sound very safe. PGP public keys are supposed to be, well, publicly available.

So where's the key?

I thought I'd post it here for other people to find. I run Linux Mint (64 bit) so this may effect Ubuntu as well and potentially other distributions. After the update to version 89 Firefox was COMPLETELY transparent. I saw more of the background than I did of the browser or the websites. After doing some digging around I found I had to enable layers.acceleration.disabled in config:about.

To do this open Firefox and in the address bar type config:about Do a search for layers.acceleration.disabled Double click it to enable it Close firefox and re-open it to verify your transparency is gone.

I hope this helps someone.

I've just upgraded to Firefox 89 on Linux. Tabs now appear with an icon and some text, a top and bottom border, but no side border, except for the active tab which has a box around it.

I don't like this. I want a tab to look like a tab in a card index - A border at the left and right and top, and preferably rounded top corners. I get that this is one of the new features of this version....

but I hate it already.

In the attached screenshot, you can see how Palemoon does it (how Firefox used to do it). Without borders, there is no distinction between my bookmarks bar and my tabs bar.

How do I get it back to the old way. If there is no way of doing this, please fix it so that there is.

Rationale: I hate "flat" UIs. I want Radio buttons to look like buttons on a radio. I want buttons to look like buttons that you press; tabs to look like tabs. Scroll bars to be there all the time and big enough to grab and scroll etc.

I just used pacman to update to the latest Firefox, but the tab crashed each time I open a new web page ( I can open settings, about:xxx and etc... ). I tried Troubleshoot Firefox crashes and it did not crash in troubleshoot mode. Then I tried extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems but non of these options solved the problem. I disabled all extensions, themes and hardware acceleration, and it reported the same error.

I am running Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The about:logins page is no longer in dark mode under 89.0. Neither is the about:addons page or the about:preferences page. My low vision would much prefer white font on dark background. I use the Color Changer addon for some pages but it does not work on the aforementioned "internal" browser pages. How can I change them back to dark mode please as I had in v88?

Hello,

I cannot use any add-ons since upgrading to version 89 in Manjaro Linux Cinnamon. Tried new .mozilla folder, disabling browser.proton.* but no luck.

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks! /Jorgen

I want to set 2 preferences regarding syncing as default preference for all (new) profiles. 1. sync toolbar layout. 2. set my own sync server path.

I already know how to do this via about:config manually per user. I want to have these 2 preferences by default for all users.

On Ubuntu 21.04, I followed these instructions to the letter, but it has no effect, tested on a newly created profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig

I created: /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js And it contains exactly what is in the instructions.

Also created: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.cfg Looks like: ``` // IMPORTANT: Start your code on the 2nd line defaultpref("services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.uiCustomization.state","true"); defaultpref("identity.sync.tokenserver.uri","https://ffsync.mydomain.tld/token/1.0/sync/1.5"); ```

Then I create a new profile and check via about:config, unfortunately the first preference doesn't exist (note it doesn't exist by default) and the other is not applied, I still see Mozilla sync server path.

How can I set these 2 customisations globally. for all future users (preferably also current users)?
