Firefox Support Forum

As of a few weeks ago, I can no longer copy and paste when using Outlook for emails with Firefox as the browser. I have no issues if I use the MSN browser. When using Firefox, I can copy and paste in the subject line but not the body of the text. This is a real pain! I had no issues until a few weeks ago. If I try to copy and paste, I am able to copy but when I right click I no longer get a "paste" option. I now have an emoji option in its place. What's up with that?! I am using Windows 11 as the operating system on a Dell computer. Thanks in advance!

Had to reinstall windows, so of course I backup everything except for one thing. Should not be a biggy since it gets stored and synced. Except when the syncing isnt working no matter what fixes you try. I disabled eset, grabbed an even older profile from a older backup try see if it was due to the profile. still nothing. Suggested and tried: Creating a bookmark and removing. Creating a new profile and loging in to sync there. adding an addon something in about:config to force everything syncing resetting browser troubleshoot mode rebooting pc

Every fix I have tried. I don't get why I cannot just see what sync is doing instead of a spinning icon perhaps a segment on the settings menu of sync since you made a segment for that anyways. I feel stupid for forgetting to copy my profile but firefox is stupid for not being able to have it just simply download the freaking profile. Like I get software sometimes messes up for random reasons. But if only there was then an backup option to download my profile as it is loose from the settings segment. As if its so hard to download a 200~mb profile (I assume since my old profile was around that). I know it can take long to download from what I read but I let it run for over an hour and nothing.

Honestly I am livid that there is no option now to sync my account and that I can get no feedback other than a log that is just mostly gibberish for the average user. why can't I just see error reading from server or corrupt profile cannot download or w.e or downloading xxxxxx file @5% 0.00001kbps.

I get sync isn't meant to be a cloud storage system but in the past it always worked when I forgot the profile backup and if it didn't I was able to fix it back then somehow. I hope someone can help resolve this so I don't loose everything.

A couple weeks ago Youtube videos stopped working on my PC. It keeps spinning and tells me to try restarting my device which does not help. Have tried several suggestions I've found, like clearing cache and cookies and history, disabling extensions, but not uninstalling and reinstalling because Youtube plays fine in Edge and also plays in Firefox on the other user on my PC. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi all,

On your latest install Firefox 108.0.1 my tabs have moved to the bottom of my browser near my taksbar in window 10. The tabs are not working correctly. Please fix. Thank you.

P.S. it working in firefox safe mode. The tabs show a the top of screen and you can add multiple tabs.

Long story short...I lost my hard drive, reinstalled windows....I never used a firefox login on this laptop. I do have a backup of all my data/appfiles --- actually i cloned the failed drive. So I have this directory in my backups:

D:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\810aqnu7.default-release-1636153011215\bookmarkbackups. There are a bunch of JSON versions of bookmarkfiles there stored....how can i get my bookmarks back with these files?

where is the "current bookmark files" stored? which directory?

thanks in advance.

bold textI need to sync my phone to my new computer so I can get my bookmarks and passwords transferred over to my new computer. I am afraid to scan the QR code because it reads as if it will sync this empty canvas to my phone and wipe all of my data out. What steps do I need to take?

Firefox on Win10 has lost all of my logins. I tried launching a new profile, but no good. In the settings "logins.json" has become "logins.json.corrupt" and renaming it does nothing. The Firefox on my two android devices still have the logins intact is there a way to send them to the Windows version?

Po aktualizacji czcionki stały się kwadratowe i nieczytelne. Chciałam całkiem wyłączyć aktualizacje automatyczne bo tylko szkodzą ale się nie da. Pomoc też nie działa trzeba szukać w milionach artykułów a i tak nie ma rozwiązań konkretnego problemu. Jestem o krok od dezinstalacji Firefoxa choć używam go od lat, ale jeśli nie dostanę teraz pomocy to czas zmienić przeglądarkę. Dodatkowo tryb pełnoekranowy po pewnym czasie staje sie czarny ekran i się zawiesza dopiero odświeżanie pomaga ale też na różny czas czasem na dłu żej a czasem na chwilę tylko. Znalezienie rozwiązania graniczyy z cudem bo nie ma bezpośredniej pomocy ty;lko czytanie miliona niezwiązanych artykułów

"Go back one page" doesn't work correctly with YouTube. 50% of the time it just changes the url, but doesn't load the page, and the video keeps playing. You have to refresh a page to properly load it

Whenever I open Firefox in MacOS Ventura (13.0.1) it opens in full screen. I want it to open a bit smaller so I can see my desktop behind it. Full screen is fine for a laptop, but I run it on a 26" widescreen monitor. How can I set it so it only covers, say, 3/4 of the screen?

I have Gyazo installed. To take printscreens it uses "ctrl+shift+..." commands

Since Mozilla Firefox also uses "ctrl+shift+..." commands it happens very oftenly that the console (default F12) opens -> instead of performing my intented printscreen.

==> HOW DO I DISABLE the FIREFOX CTRL+SHIFT+... COMMANDS, so that the console doesn't open when I use my Gyazo ctrl+shift+... commands?

Please don't suggest I change my Gyazo ctrl+shift+... commands, since they work in all other situations perfectly - just not in the browser: Printscreen https://gyazo.com/ea50e6daff95a79ff15d0b1431bd0466

Suddenly today my browser had switched any current tab to the bottom of my window, but it also only lets me see one at a time..which means I can't see multiple tabs open unless I close the current one. My tab bar is gone entirely and was up-top as it's always been, just under the URL box.

I didn't hit any key combos that I know of that would cause this, and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem when I search for a solution. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? It's very odd and annoying, I've never had it happen before now..

I took a screen-shot of the problem, showing what happens when I open a site or any tab:

Thank you very much for taking a look and any help with this strange issue,

When I go to a website that can push notifications, next to the url there's this animation that you can click to allow the notifications. I want to turn off this animation. This question has been asked before and the answer was: "Go to about:config and set dom.webnotifications.enabled = false". I did this, but I still have the animation. What should i do?

I am receiving hundreds of spam emails from gmail.com email addresses and they all say to: and list at least 20 or more googlegroups.com groups. SO it seems they are using my yahoo email to send all these google groups a message to join some dating site. Most all of them go to spam or trash but I want to know if I can block them completely by blocking or using a filter that can block words, or domains like @googlegroups.com. SEE BELOW It only shows my email in the raw message. Your filters only allow me to send them to the trash folder when I would rather block them 100% I have no idea why I am receiving them and not a member of googlegroups and they are using my email to send these through. I can block each gmail but they change every time. I do not know if there is a actual from email I could block that is hid in the raw message but I doubt it since they change the from email.
