Firefox Community Forum

I want to be able to save a web page as a PDF file.. I noticed Opera has this feature, but I prefer using Firefox. Can you add this feature to your "save page as' ? Thank you, Freeman

Hi:

I've just recently installed 135.0.1 Mozilla Browser and have found that the the file SAVING-function in the 'Application Menu' does NOT PROPERLY WORK: it records my message-title but NOT the contents (0-bytes!) -I never had such a basic issue in many years of very satisfactory Browser-use ...am I have a wrong setting somewhere and is there any quick fix please ...? - Email me when someone answers the thread ...MANY THANKS, Tony H.

Hello!

For a while now I've had an issue browsing with Google using Firefox. As stated in the subject line, Google would cut off parts of my search if certain symbols are used within it.

For example: "1+1" becomes "1 1" "R&B" becomes "R" "#100" sends me back to google main page "number #100" becomes "number"

There might be other symbols that cause issues, but these are the three I keep running into. I tested another browser and this issue doesn't happen in it, meaning it must be an issue with Firefox.

I have already tried clearing cookies and cache, and it did not resolve the problem.

I would appreciate help with this!

Hi!

Really weird issue I've noticed with my Firefox-based browsers.

Essentially, whenever I am within the "Save As" feature of my browser, I am unable to realistically do anything that requires the context menu (e.g. creating a folder, renaming). I can still do things, but each entry in the context menu has no text.

I am on Windows 11, and am using the most up-to-date verison of both Firefox-based browsers. I do have a lot of customisation software and/or registry changes, but this issue has started to show up after I've spent a while with these changes already implemented. I don't think it's the problem as I have tested without each of these, but I thought worth mentioning if anyone knows of any potential conflicts (and to clear up any confusion from the screenshots).

An example of the above that I thought would affect this is a registry fix to enable the "show more options" setting on the context menu to be selected by default whenever I right click (steps followed here: https://www.howtogeek.com/759449/how-to-get-full-context-menus-in-windows-11s-file-explorer/). I've just tested by reversing this change and issue persists, and like I mentioned issue did not occur previously when this fix had already been applied. I hope that's not redundant information, I'm just trying to give as much info as possible!

I typically use Floorp, but when I noticed this issue I have tried and verified that this issue also happens on regular old Firefox.

Other browsers I have installed and verified this issue is NOT present on:

• Microsoft Edge
• Chrome
• Pale Moon

The issue only seems to happen on FireFox and Floorp.

I have attached some images of what it is meant to look like ("expected_context_menu.png") and what it looks like on FireFox based browsers ("real_context_menu01.png").

Initially I though the menu was just useless, but it does appear I can actually use this menu without text as normal. I tested this by using the second-from-bottom option, and then the top-most option that marks the option for "New Folder" on the working context menu. I was able to create a folder as expected doing this ("real_context_menu02.png" and "real_context_menu03.png"), which suggests that it's just an issue with the text displaying.

Anyone have any ideas? Of course, I can provide any info about the OS customisation steps I've taken if needed!

I'd appreciate any help!

I've never uploaded here before so in case the images don't show the image name, they are uploaded in the order: "real_context_menu01.png" "real_context_menu02.png" "real_context_menu03.png" "expected_context_menu.png"

From of a like question (why now user ids only shown now, then pw field), GeraldR on 2/13.25 @ 17:49 presented this: Walmart.com's user-id field explicitly disables autocomplete:

<input autocomplete="off" id="react-aria-:R15at5j6:" type="text" name="Phone number or email" aria-label="Phone number or email" enterkeyhint="go" autofocus="" class="w_9iFI" value=""> _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If I copy the URL for 'that' sign-in page, place into EDGE, going to the input field, I get a pop-up of saved data. Is there a config setting that needs to be 'flipped' so the site is presented with my saved user ids & passwords again? I have tired of just assuming this is the 'new, how it is'. No replies of just using EDGE, please.

I am not 100%, but a 'REFRESH' has been done, just not sure if it fell in the time of the above no longer functioning as before. I have not tired in SAFE MODE. ENHANCE TRACKING PROCTION is now off ('on' did not work either; all scripts accepted in 'NoScript'; uBlock & Privacy Badger are 'off' for that sign-in page.

Hello everyone, As possible in previous Firefox releases I like that clicking on a .mdb file (msaccess) Firefox starts automatically Microsoft Access rather than asking where to save the .mdb file.

Thanks and regards Volker Zipp

Hello,

I just installed a new version of Linux Mint (Zara) and all is right with Firefox, except the screenshot who doesn't work. The buttons "Capture the visible area" and "Capture the entire page" don't work. The additional tool in the toolbar doesn't work. What can i do, please? Thanks for your answer. Pierre

Decades ago, browsers had features to download the current web page along with linked pages and store them locally including updating the downloaded main page's links to reference the linked copies. It was even possible to specify how many link levels to copy along with the main page.

when web page sidebars became popular this became problematic for a while since sidebars often linked to ads or unrelated content (Wikipedia or GitHub for example). Then browsers started providing a means to disable webpage sidebars and display only the main page.

I can't find any of that capability in Firefox. I have searched the settings, extensions, Firefox support pages and found almost nothing related to simply saving web pages.

I fear that some day the website 'UESPWiiki' which provides support for my favorite game which is now (2025) 19 years old will some day go away. UESPWiki has side bars preventing simply downloading everything. Help.

I found this file on my desktop. File type is Firefox HTML Document. Size 1KB. I've never noticed this before and wonder it I should delete it, move it, or what. Anything to worry about? I haven't opened it.

Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer!

I want to download a grocery flier without having to use screenshot. The grocery chain does not include a download option. Can I do this with Moxilla Firefox as my browser, on Windows 10

Steps to reproduce:

   Generate an image using Gemini Web.

   Right-click the generated image and select "Save image as...".

Actual results:

   The saved image file (which is around 8MB uncompressed) is frequently corrupted.

   There are noticeable pixel misalignments, visual glitches, and tearing across the image.

   Re-saving the exact same image causes the glitches to appear in different random locations, indicating an unstable data transfer from memory to disk.

   Sometimes, the saved filename gets appended with random gibberish characters (e.g., Gemini_Generated_Image_fuy00sfuy00sfuy0.jpg).

Expected results: The image should be saved completely without any data corruption or pixel misalignment.

Additional Context: > When performing the exact same action in Google Chrome, the browser negotiates a compressed format (around 2MB) and the image saves perfectly with 100% data integrity and no visual glitches. The issue seems isolated to how Firefox handles large image blob data saving.
