Firefox Community Forum

I use the flickr website many times during the day without issue, unti now. When trying to login this time I get the message shown in the attached image. I have gone through all the usual procedures, clearing cookies etc, including starting Firefox in safe mode, but still the problem persists and I am now at a loss. As a test, I even installed the Chrome browser and I was able to log into flickr with no problem. I have a laptop running Window 11 and the latest Firefox and the problem is the same on that - no flickr login.

Thank you for your help

Firefox keeps crashing and I get a message saying it is still running but won't work. Error code below. This has been happening for 4 weeks or so. Can anyone help? I've always liked Firefox but this is beginning to cause problems. I run W11 on a Dell laptop and always keep Firefox updated. Thanks very much for any help. Hugh, UK

All of a sudden Firefox started to use alt+number (e.g. alt+3) to switch to that tab (i.e. tab 3 in my example).

Why? How do I disable this? It prevents me from typing any of the special characters that are located on alt + any number key. E.g. I can type the at-sign, not the dollar, or any such character which requires the alt-modifier and a number.

I don't know if this ever worked in FF, since I've been on Chrome a while. I tried canvas.toBlob() in FF without a solution.

The behavior is the same whether the served image is jpg or webp. A Servlet delivers the image data, here in webp:

          response.setHeader("Content-Type", "image/webp");

On page, I use a canvas thus => see '// FIREFOX'

     var canvas = document.createElement( 'canvas' );
     canvas.width = width;
     canvas.height = avail_height;
     var context = canvas.getContext( '2d' );
     context.drawImage( imgsrc, 0, 0, width, avail_height);
     context.lineWidth = 150;

     // FIREFOX: canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg')=black, png,webp,default=transparent
     img.src = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');

     img.onmousedown = disableDragging; // for FF
     img.style.opacity = "1.0";
     console.log('setImg ok');

Inspecting a black jpeg:

        data:image/jpeg;base64,...

Thanks!

Since the last 1-2 months, the latest Firefox browser updates have had this negative effect, that each time when I open the browser in full window, it hides the WIndows 10 toolbar. Normally toolbar comes back visible when I move the cursor to the area, but not now. I need to either click Win+T or to minimize the browser window and then to make it bigger again (full size). That's not the normal solution. Normal shouldn't hide the toolbar at all. This doesn't happen with other softwares, and my toolbar settings in Win10 are like they should be.

If this is a known Firefox bug, is there any change that it could be fixed for the next update? Or can I do something by self to fix it?

Thanks!

I have tried an uninstall and reinstall but the same message comes up saying Firefoc is already running but can't be used and that I have to kill the old Firefox. I cannot access the cache since Firefox will not open. Reinstallation should have cleared the cache. Since I uninstalled Firefox the message appears when I try to reinstall Firefox. None of the troubleshooting methods re available. What suggestions do you have that will get me access to Firefox as my browser again?

Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.

However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)

I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.

Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?

when I login to my reagan.com email. I get a cloudfare error 403.

Firefox 115.26.0esr will not allow me to download any files without producing an error message that I need to download the native client so that it can start JDownloader. I managed to download from the link the error message gave but when clicking on install.bat, it says it can't find the path and then press any key, which I do then it closes that and nothing happens.

I was not able to download and reinstall Firefox by using Firefox as I got the same message. I downloaded via Chrome and then tried to reinstall Firefox 115.26.0esr. It installed fine, but when I go to download a video file I'm back to the same error message that I need to install the native client.

How do I break this error message cycle and get downloads to work again? PS: I am using Windows 7

Greetings Ya'll, Firefox Bookmarks are no longer being initially placed in "Other Bookmarks, they are now being placed in the "Bookmarks" that is under the "Open Application Menu" Tab.

I've found that the "New Bookmarks" can be "Dragged" as a copy to "Bookmarks", from the "Bookmarks" located in the menu, for they will stay there unless I delete them

I can not move the "Bookmarks" back to "Other Bookmarks"

Would I lose My Bookmarks, If I "Refresh" Firefox, as suggested in the "Troubleshooting Section? If there is a chance of this happening then that would Absolutely Be Catastrophic!!

I run Firefox on a Dell Inspiron Laptop which runs Windows 11 Pro. Lately, when I cclick on a link in an email, I get Th following message: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading weather.com (see the browser console for more information). I'm also getting messages that my browser is blocking cookies, which I don't understand, since none of my settings (so far as I cantell) block coookies. I'm also seeeing slow loading of pages.

I've refreshed Firefox and eliminated one or two extensions, but I don't understand why all of this is going on. I'm having to submit this over Chrome, because Firefox won't let me log in, due to the cookie problem,

How do I get all this mess straightened out?

Does Firefox produce pop-ups in this manner? When I scan my machine with Microsoft defender it comes up clean, but the pop-up start when I open Firefox. I have not clicked on any of the pop-ups. The pop-ups mimic a McAfee virus but I do not have McAfee installed.

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro and now Firefox has pink background which is annoying me. I don't want black or cartoon characters. How can I install something more subdued?
