Hi everyone, I have a problem on my PC with firefox. I don't have this problem on chrome. When i go to google maps on my PC, my default location is set to Dublin instead of Amiens (France) Could you help me to have my correct default location back ? Thank you

My shortcuts disappeared. They were there this morning. I let my laptop go into standby and, when I woke it up again, the shortcuts were gone.

I have checked my settings and the correct toggles have been toggled. This happened not too long ago and they came back, so I'm not at all sure what the issue is.

Thank you!

Hi,

I am concerned that when I signed into my bank account today, the saved username which is autofilled by Firefox had been changed. The change was subtle -- from uppercase to lowercase letters -- but it wasn't me that changed it. This is a site I log in to often, almost every day.

Of course I am worried that this is some sort of hack.

Now the latest update solves the problem of autoplay on YouTube can something be done about viewing the whole site? Videos take forever to load or generally never load and when they do all it shows on the page is the video and nothing else.

I go to my YT history and the page will not load. YT at times says I am offline when in fact I am not because I am also at the same time,while waiting for YT to load, viewing articles and videos on Yahoo and MSN as well as other sites.

This has only started today, March 12th.

Listen I have a profile in another partition in Mint and want to transfer my Bookmarks/profile etc to my new 22.3 install but far too complicated. I also have a previous Key which I no longer wish to use as it has deleted all 20 years worth of messages. Please please please just set up my profile again oFirefox or then revert by to the one from 2025 Mint 21.3 Thomas McM Rbold textamos de Deus

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a frustrating issue where Firefox is opening PDFs in two places at once.

The Problem: When I click a PDF link, Firefox opens the file in a new tab (internal viewer) but also launches the standalone Adobe Acrobat app to display the same file. I only want it to open in Firefox.

Details: - Settings: My "Applications" setting for PDF is currently set to "Always Ask." - The Glitch: Even when I manually select "Open in Firefox" from the prompt, Adobe Acrobat launches anyway. - Timeline: This started happening 2 days ago without any manual setting changes (I think it might be after a firefox update? I might be mistaken)

- Troubleshooting done: I have tried toggling the action to "Open in Firefox" directly, but the dual-launch behavior persists.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I’m Harmandeep Singh Kandhari from India, A Health and Wellness Motivator and Now, Recently, my Mozilla Firefox browser has started using much more memory than usual, and multiple tabs cause noticeable slowdowns. I haven’t installed many new extensions. What steps can I take to identify the cause and optimize Firefox performance without resetting my entire browser profile? 🦊💻

Thanks, Harmandeep Singh Kandhari

If synchronisation works bidirectional - does that mean that all bookmarks vanish on all added computers when they are erased from one of them? Can and should one define one of the computers as the one from which the installations should be preserved?

When I'm on my phone and signed into my Firefox I want to be able to send tabs to my desktop. I'll click the three dots on my Samsung 20fe, click share, and click send to device. My p.c. is listed and when i click on it, a box pop's up and says "tab sent. I don't know where it's going, but it's not making it to my desk top. I've tried logging out and logging back in. on both devises

Ordered some new checks from Costco as a "guest" since I haven't set up an online account (generally speaking, I wouldn't use, but to order checks, I need to do it online - not in the store). I put my full order together in the cart, went through the full process of completing the order and payment, but after submitting, I expected the order confirmation page. However, I received the notice that the Harland Clarke check printing vendor site won't allow firefox to display the page. Without that confirmation page, I don't have an order number to reference. The instructions provided says to embed the link (which link?) in another tab to open the missing page. I've also tried following all other instructions; going on the Mozilla/Firefox desktop/ trying to find a Mozilla contact phone number, etc. All that happens is that I go into a never-ending circle - which means no-where. What am I missing? This is what I get:

Fix error “Website will not allow Firefox to display the page.” 3–4 minutes

Some websites don’t allow their content to appear inside another website. If a site tries to embed a page that blocks this, Firefox will show an error that it cannot open the page:

“To protect your security, [website] will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it.”

This is a security feature on the website being embedded. It prevents clickjacking, where a site tries to load another site without permission, often to trick users into clicking something they didn’t intend.

This error is not caused by Firefox. It’s a choice made by the website owner. Why does this happen?

Websites can control how their content is used. They may block it from being shown inside another site using special security settings like:

   X-Frame options headers
   Content security policy rules 

These settings are common for banking sites, schools, government services and others that need tight security. What can I do?

You can still view the blocked content by opening it directly. On desktop

   Right-click the link or embedded area.
   Select Open Link in New Tab or Open Link in New Window.
   If you can’t right-click, try copying the link (long-press on Mac trackpads) and pasting it into a new tab. 

Tip: You can also drag the link into a new tab if using Firefox on desktop. On mobile (phone or tablet)

   Tap and hold the link or embedded area (where the content should appear).
   Choose Open in New Tab from the menu.
   If that doesn’t work, try copying the link (if visible) and pasting it into a new tab manually. 

Warning: On mobile, this may be harder to do if the embedded content doesn’t show clearly. Look for a blank or gray box on the page. What if I need to use the original page?

Sometimes the website that’s embedding the content depends on that embedded page to work properly (for example, a school login system or internal portal).

If that’s the case:

   Try opening the embedded page directly (as described above).
   If that doesn’t help, you may need to contact the site owner and explain the issue. 

Need help understanding this error?

If you're unsure what the page is trying to load or can’t figure out where to click:

   Look for a blank box or missing content; that’s likely where the blocked page should appear.
   If you're on mobile, try rotating your device or zooming out to better view hidden content.
   Still stuck? Copy the page link and share it with your IT support, teacher or website admin.

Running Firefox 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro on an HP laptop. The feature/problem described works properly with Chrome and Edge. The problem occurs when accessing the following article:

If the window is set wide enough, there is a sidebar displaying, "Share this content in X". If the screen is squeezed down (i.e. drag the right margin to the left) far enough, the sidebar will disappear. That feature is handled properly, but as the window width is increased and the sidebar appears, the main body of text does not wrap properly. It appears that Firefox is not compensating for the width of the sidebar.

A user I am servicing uses Firefox every day. They are on Windows 11. Every afternoon (sometimes at other times), Firefox stops working and loses its internet connection (everything else on their computer continues to be connected).  When they close and restart Firefox to reconnect, it then tells me the user that they are using an old profile and need to create a new one.  They're able to re-log into their Firefox account, which eventually resyncs all their data, but they then have to re-sign into everything, which is a major inconvenience.  The only workaround the I have found is to reinstall Firefox, ever time this happens which then allows the user to use all their settings until they have to repeat the process the next day (i.e., everything remains signed in and/or logging back in is easier than described above).

Latest version of Firefox on macOS, Mac Mini M2 - 8 GB RAM and MacBook Air M3 - 16 GB RAM: Firefox malfunctions on launch - I have to force quit and relaunch it - Firefox starts to load then freezes. Firefox works, then I launch other applications like Chrome, Thunderbird, etc. Firefox freezes on the M2 8GB RAM but rarely on the M3 16GB. A few weeks ago, these problems didn't exist on either of my Macs - since an automatic update that I didn't notice, it's now a consistent occurrence.
