Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I have a question regarding automatic updates for Firefox.

I sometimes use a Linux live system (with pre-installed Firefox 140), and Firefox updates flawlessly through the „Help --> About Firefox“-setting.

Is the connection with the Mozilla-server encrypted (https:) during this update?

Are the updated files also checked for integrity?

thank you in advance

A very odd behaviour! If I pull up the BBC website in FF and move to any news item or article, then my vertical scrollbar is disabled. I can re-enable it by reloading the page and the problem does not recur for the rest of the session. (Just very occasionally it happens after the second navigation rather than the first). Trivial I know, but an irritation (as well as a malfunction!)

I also have the taskbar fails to display in FF, curable by a double-tap on the Win Key. Is this going to be sorted on an update? Also trivial/irritation! TIA

On windows 10, Firefox Browsing/surfing was slow so I did netsh winsock reset and ip reset etc.

But thereafter few sites in-page notifications aren’t loading properly like facebook notifications, forum notifications, amazon page etc.

Nothing works irrespective of cookie or entire history deletion.

I had to fiddle with the networking settings few months back so unsure what are the stock FF settings- what they should be like. I wasn’t able to find on google.

I did performed a FF refresh and even created a now profile and that works absolutely fine!

But the moment I log into my FF cloud account for re-syncing all add-ons, bookmarks etc and dang the issue reverts. So I think 110% the FF account sync is restoring back the network settings I did some time ago overriding the default ones hence the good up.

All other browsers like edge/chrome are working fine.

What I want is-

   * The default FF network settings which I can correct and re-sync back to my FF cloud account.
   * Or a way to only restore bookmarks and extensions/add-ons and nothing else from the cloud account.

As an Advocate, I have to open Supreme Court website and all other High Court websites. But, "sci.gov.in" is not opened. Why ?

image of problem Some, but not all, pages browsed throw up a "hamburger" menu, top left of the window. (the link above should link you to a screenshot taken this morning in Firefox 142.0.1 (64) running on Win11.)

The menu button floats eternally over the text in that top-left corner. This irritates me because I read text, and am frustrated by the browser covering readable text.

I can't remember ever (20+ years) needing the Table Of Contents of a web page. I use Mozilla Firefox's excellent Edit, Find if I want to jump directly to a key word.

Anyone who can suggest a perpetual dismissal of this menu button will earn my lifelong admiration!

I can deal with Settings, About:Config, and even RegEdit. Thanks, Chris

Hi,

I tried to edit my autofill to eliminate the +1 from my phone number i.e. (123) 456-7890 and clicked "save" but it just reverts back to +1(123)456-7890 forcing me to go in and manually enter it. Kind of defeats the purpose of autofill slightly.

Not sure if anyone can fix this but didn't know where to make a suggestion.

After the update, a window popped up asking me to select a profile. But my profile, where all my passwords, bookmarks, etc. were, was gone. I couldn't restore my bookmarks because the only one available was from today and it`s "clean." Is there any way to restore my account data? Because everything was there: settings, bookmarks, passwords, history.

hi in a new win 10 instal most text incl Fire Fox text is made up of letters [font] that are made of thin and thick lines [in the same letter]

i dont know if its a strange font or another problem, i have copied all "font" setting from my other pc where i dont have the problem.

also i cant get spell check to work here dsespite turning it on

its very distracting, would be very gratefull for any suggestones if any one can 

help thanks

Dear Mozilla Support,

My name is Sizhe Xiong. Today when I launched Firefox on my Windows computer, the browser suddenly required me to select or create a new profile before continuing. I had no option to skip this step, so I created a new one.

After that, Firefox asked me to log in or register a Mozilla account. I used the same Gmail address that I’ve always used for Firefox Sync, but it seems that a new account was automatically created, and all my previous data — including bookmarks, history, saved passwords, and extensions — disappeared.

When I checked my local Profiles folder under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles, I found several new folders created around the same time, but none of them contain my old data (all places.sqlite files are around 5120 KB).

These bookmarks and passwords are very important to me. Could you please help check if it’s possible to recover my old Firefox data, or if my previous Sync data can still be linked to my Mozilla account (using the same Gmail address)?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards, Sizhe Xiong

Why there is no option to use/configure a local running ai chatbot in the "Choose an AI chatbot to use in the Firefox" sidebar? Or does it exists and I didnt see it?

I am trying to resync the data from my mobile to my computer as i have a new computer as old one no longer works.

Sync did not sync all of the data such as bookmarks and password.

i have logged unisntalled and re installed firefox on both.

logged in again. however sign in for android firefox does not actually sign in anymore but opens a new firefox window at "accounts.firefox.com" however signing in here doesnt sign into firefox for the app but only in this specifc window which is not even a new tab.

i really need to get all my bookmarks and passwords from my phone.

please help

I recently upgraded my Router to an ASUS AX5400 and when I tried to sign in t the configuration site (192.168.50.1:8443) Firefox prevents me from proceeding due to an incorrect or non authorised site. What I find most annoying is that not only does Firefox issue a warning (that's fine) but there is then no way to proceed by accepting the danger (none in this case) and proceeding to login to my own Router that I have just purchased. So, the only way to set up and subsequently administer my Router is to use either MS Edge or Brave who provide a warning but then allow me to accept the risk and proceed to the Router's configuration settings. ASUS do provide a Certificate which I have added to my Trusted Root Directory and also to the Firefox Certificate repository but apparently, for reasons I don't understand, the Certificate, although issued by ASUS, is not signed by a certified authority that is acceptable to Firefox. Does anyone know how to get around this problem using the Firefox browser? Just why Firefox think it is OK to block me from accessing my own Router is beyond me!! This is equal to the arrogance often displayed by Microsoft i.e. we'll give you what WE think you need not what you need. By the way - I have also written to ASUS to ask them why on earth that don't issue a suitable Certificate for a $250 Router.

Hello all!

I've started having an issue in the last few days, with apparently two separate Firefox installs. A few days ago I was greeted by a fresh, blank install of Firefox and had to set everything up and sign in as I usually would on a fresh system install. Today, however, I somehow managed to launch both of them at once (I don't know how, as I just use the UI shortcut). After closing both fully, I can now only start the "old" one via the shortcut.

OS: Bluefin / Fedora 42.20, Gnome 48.6

According to the list of flatpaks, only one is installed. Unfortunately that's roughly where my knowledge of Linux ends, so I can't troubleshoot this further. Help will be apprecciated, as I don't want to roll a die on which of these will start up every time I reboot.

Hello community,

Since the last update, I have been experiencing issues with streaming services, such as Disney+. Playback is no longer scaled correctly in full-screen mode.

During playback, the image is displayed much smaller with black borders at the top and bottom, as if Disney+ and Firefox are unable to communicate the format correctly.

I have already searched the web for this issue and have not found any articles with the same error description.

System: Win11 Pro, everything is up to date, WIN resolution: 3440 x 1440 (125% scaling)

Attached is a screenshot with the playback in full screen mode. I have framed what is displayed.
