Firefox Support Forum

About three days ago, the dropdown lists for various websites I use stopped populating unless I use the backspace. So, for instance, if I want to find "John", nothing happens if I just start to type it in. But if I type in "Jo" and then backspace, John pops up. (Perhaps important: Even though I have now deleted the "o", only John pops up, not names beginning with J but followed by a different letter.) Curiously, it seems like the first time each day that I go onto any given website, the dropdown does populate properly, but just that once. I checked Edge and Chrome, and the dropdowns work fine there, so it's definitely a Firefox problem. Any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Hello! I have a problem with latest version of FireFox (118.0.1). I have a website running at https://localhost:7230. And Asp .Net Core backend running at http://localhost:5205/, the authorization is configured to use NTLM.

From the frontend I call: const response = await axios.get("http://localhost:5205/Users/GetUser", {

   params: null,
   withCredentials: true

});

and it works in Chrome and in previous FireFox 117.0.1, but doesn't work in FireFox 118.0.1.

I've checked the request-headers, they are the same except for the version in User-Agent. I guess this has something to do with the security settings. I looked at the patch notes but didn't see anything similar to my problem.

What was changed in the latest version and how can I fix this?

Good Morning,

I am curious. When searching through backup in the bookmark section. Firefox keeps a list of backups in Crtl+Shift O.

In the restore file, under restore and backup, it shows ( 959 bytes - 11 items).

The 11 items what are those exactly?

When deleting browser history, nothing in the number changes. I am just wanting to make sure that the 11 items are in fact "Book Mark" related and not browser history related. My partner is accusing me of deleting "Items" or clearing my browser history. Since she can't see 11 items in there she assumes I deleted things or used a private browser...

It is not unusual for me to have trouble following articles. I looked at restore, said would be a list of dated automatic backups, I do not see anything. I tried switching profiles, only have 2, i see no difference. please help. I'm on a Surface Pro, windows 11

I've been looking for help for a week now as to what happened to my ability to print from Firefox? Everything was fine until last week with the update. It's not my printer as I am able to print from other browsers. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Trying to clear saved printer setting per Troubleshooting advice. I even deleted it from my computer to try and get an earlier version but it keeps bringing me back to the latest version that does not work. The worst part was I was trying to back up my computer (restore point) to an earlier date my Webroot was not allowing me to do that I I could not get that turned off. I called the Geek squad who remoted in and made things worse. She somehow deleted my ONLY restore date there. So for a week I have been trying to find help. You are my last resort before I switch to another browser. I work from home so this is not convenient, as I print often. Switching browsers just to print is wasting time (I don't like the other browsers). HELP!

We are having issues with the new updates 118.0.0 and 118.0.1 on Windows 10.

We believe the advanced tracking protection is blocking some of the resources from loading in our application Banner who is provided by Ellucian. We have used a group policy to block Firefox from updating until we are able to resolve this issue.

We attempted to add the Enhanced Tracking Protection exception list but that did not work.

Are you able to provide us with a group policy that we can turn off advanced tracking protection for that one site?

Or are you able to provide us with some assistance with the next steps?

I have adjusted settings to https mode ONLY but I can use Private Mode As a result when I leave settings Are LOST or deleted for my GOOGLE apps connected to my firefox browser. This means I have to reconnect to GOOGLE everytime I reopen my browser !!!

Hello,

I see with windows Firefox version 118 a TLS extension id 65037 on every client hello handshake containing a bunch of data. Does somebody know what this extension is used for? I couldn't find anything about this on the web or in the firefox docs / release notes. Other browser (chrome / edge) don't have this extension in use.

Thanks

I've built up an extensive library of very important bookmarks in firefox. Last week, I needed to clean my computer and deleted not the bookmarks, but the "downloads" folder of random PDF's and other documents. Now, my bookmarks are all gone and I've taken all the mozilla steps to recover them to no success. I can't even find any browsing history to revisit the sites and create a new bookmark list. Is there a way to access my previous history and bookmarks?

In Firefox, the mouse becomes partially unresponsive to elements in the browser and on web pages. This happens after 15-30 minutes after starting up the browser. Common symptoms include:

- Unable to drag and drop elements properly, including text after highlighting it. - Sometimes, the mouse continues to hold elements while dragging. Pressing ESC temporarily fixes this. - Dropdown menus on websites do not drop down when hoovering over them - Other items on websites don't display items when hoovering over them

I have tried:

- Different mouses, including my laptop's trackpad - A Firefox fork, namely Waterfox, but it still occurs - Limited testing with other browsers. No problem occurs - Limited testing on desktop. No problem occurs - Entering Troubleshooting Mode on Firefox - Clearing cookies and cache - Reinstall Firefox (including installing from command line instead of the snap store) - Updated Firefox - Refreshed Firefox - About:Processes doesn't show anything using more than 10-15% of CPU at any one time - Limited testing with a new Firefox profile. No problem occurs - Disabled WebGL and Hardware Acceleration.

Temporary fix: Restarting Firefox, but the problem re-occurs shortly after use.

Using Ubuntu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox just turns into a black screen and becomes unusable. It has been happening for a long time now and i have checked RAM and CPU usage and they are all fine, as I explored potential causes.

I will be using firefox and it just turns all black on all screens and is completely unusable. To use it again I have to force close all windows and reopen it and it works again.

This is a frequent issue that I have seen

Hello, what's wrong with the bookmarks thumbnails, that they don't display properly (not as the site's logo), only some default ones that look ugly. Only some tabs have thumbnails. I have freshly installed firefox on a new PC and I've been using it for another day and nothing changes, I visit these websites constantly and these icons still look like this. It will stay like this or is it some browser error ?

Greetings

Tom

Hello, since an update (unfortunately I can't say whether it was my Mac or Firefox) I have "too many" accounts on sync. Firefox on the iPad and Firefox on the iPhone and two Firefox accounts with similar names on the computer are displayed. I actually use one of them, the other is just displayed. The one I can't influence/change shows tabs from ~2 weeks ago. I've already logged out of Firefox and logged in again, stopped the synchronization, and closed the browser. Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I'm curious if there was a recent change in Firefox for macOS that started marking items copied from private windows as "concealed"?

I've been using Firefox for quite some time and last week started noticing that my clipboard history app, Alfred, was no longer storing anything I copied out of private windows.

Initially I reached out to Alfred and they suggested this was on Firefox's end:

Upon further investigation, I can see that Firefox intentionally marks its clipboard data as Concealed in order to protect searches done in a private window.

If this is true, can I turn this off somehow? It really breaks my workflow and am unfortunately stuck using Chrome at the moment.

Thanks!

I want to use my 'esmail.hematdoost@gmail.com' instead of current 'hematdoostemail@gmail.com' on my firefox account, but it says that this account has already been confirmed by another user and it has a data breach, apparently on linkedin. I do not understand. both emails belong to me but I cannot use it as secondary email on my firefox!?

When I try to connect to AOL or any other part of the internet this message appears:

 Check Firefox has permission to access the web( you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Cut /copy and paste, nightmare!!!

what is going on? Cut / copy and paste should be easy, its not. Open a new tab, google homepage, and unable to paste the item I had just copied from another tab, it will only work when I go back to original and recopy? Too time consuming this issue.
