Firefox Community Forum

im trying to reach a site that is HTTP only and when i enter the address it jumps to HTTPS and then the site says unavailable. ive changed the settings and it still keeps doing the same thing

So I moved locations temporarily and brought my laptop with me. I have never enabled Firefox to clear cookies or cache or history when closing a session. For whatever reason though, when I opened Firefox back up after settling into my new location, it purged all login information and any cookies and cache that had been saved up until that point. This made my experience very frustrating, as I had to login to multiple different sites and while that practice in itself is not world-ending, I should not have to do that if I specifically instructed Firefox not to do so. I just do not want it to happen again, if I can afford it.

Is this due to an update? Is it due to me changing locations? I already tried looking up the answer to it, but all I have found is to disable the settings I referred to earlier, so there isn't anything obvious that I am missing (at least I hope not...). I would appreciate the support. Thank you.

When I signed in after my update, the "Let's make sure this was you" email I received shows my approximate location as Columbus, Ohio. This is incorrect. I am in Huntsville, Alabama. Why is this info wrong, and how can I correct it?

I recently got a second monitor and I'm experiencing annoying flickering whenever I'm watching a video. It doesn't matter if the video is on my primary or secondary display. They're both the same resolution (1440p), but my main monitor is 165hz while the second is 60hz.

I've read online that disabling hardware acceleration and then re enabling it fixes this. This temporarily works for me and the artifacts disappear. But whenever I restart my PC, the issue returns and I have to disable and re enable hardware acceleration every time. How do I fix this permanently??

I set to automatically hide the task bar. in my Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit Version: 19045.5131, 22H2, on a HP 840 G3 notebook.

When Firefox is running in full screen, tmoving the cursor downwards does not cause the taskbar to appear. This happens oly by pushing the Windows button.

No problem at all with other browsers, like edge, chrome, and brave.

Suggestions really appreciated.

Thanks Carlo Maria

when I log into facebook.com, facebook business pops up with meta business tools popos up and will not allow me to view my facebook page. How do I correct this problem? I use Mozilla firefox. When I switch to Chrome there are no problems bold text

I have been paying my bills online using Mozilla, but the last few months, have not been able to log into some of the credit card & utilitiy sites, it just sits there with a spinning wheel forever. If I go to a different browser, I can log right in & pay my bills. I don't know if it is something I am doing wrong or a setting that has to be changed somewhere or something else. Thank you, Ann DIngee

I have been having problems with several sites that will not let me sign in. The site responds they found something wrong, that I'm a bot, or just nothing but won't accept the sign in. Two today, MyHeritage and Economist. Economist lets me into that URL but no others, stating something is wrong. MyHeritage says can't sign in because I am a bot.

I am a paying member to both sites. Today I tried using a Chrome Browser and both sites immediately let me in, and everything worked perfectly. So I switched back to Firefox, and was refused entry. I turned off my Malwarebytes, tried the sites on both browsers, Chrome worked perfectly, Firefox did not work.

I turned on my VPN, same results. I turned off my VPN, same results. So the only conclusion I can come to is there is something with the Firefox browser.

I am retired but work about 8 hours a day on genealogy for myself and others and I am a researcher. If I cannot access my sites I'm going to have to switch to Chrome. I have been a loyal user of Firefox in 2006 and have refused to change since. I do not like Chrome . . . so please, if this can be corrected I would really appreciate it.

cannot load X, this is not an everytime occurance, super random. Perhaps half of my attempts to load the page it is interupted by an error.

I do not have enhanced tracking on.

That's pretty much it. Not entire web pages but a few words up to an entire line of text rendered in such a way as to be illegible. Most frequently, it looks like letters are superimposed with other letters. But also letters can be missing (e.g. baby becomes bab) or even occasionally rendered as what look like superscripts. Oddly, if I move the cursor over the bad text, it changes to what it should be. Or sometimes I have to select the text. Very rarely, nothing fixes it. This started with a system crash recently that required rebuilding a substantial chuck of hardware and a clean reinstall of Windows. A few days ago, I also did a clean reinstall of Firefox but the problem persists.

I went from Chrome to Firefox several months ago when I discovered that Firefox would automatically reopen all open tabs from previous session. I always put my pc in "sleep" mode at night. This morning it wouldn't "wake up" so I held the power button down until it shut down (Windows 11). Then I hit the power button and it started fine. I opened Firefox (Version 333.0) and all my tabs were gone. My wife uses Firefox on her Mac laptop and the same thing happened to her. She put her laptop to sleep last night and this morning all her tabs were gone.

After 3 hours of restoring my tabs, i went to settings and the option for Firefox to reopen all tabs from previous session was grayed out and clicking the circle next to it didn't do anything.

I am assuming this was caused by a Firefox update and am hoping someone has a fix for this. I'd hate to go back to Chrome, but I can't live with spending three hours of each day restoring tabs. I'd appreciate and be eternally grateful for any assistance and fix for this issue.

Thanks!
