Firefox Community Forum

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

My previous email provider Eclipse has ceased hosting. I found how to update sync email by adding another and promoting. I can't do this as the system sends a code to my no longer exisiting email address. How to get around this. I have a gmail address, iandtryagain@gmail.com

Within the Applications section of my settings, I have it set to open content type of crcc with an application. However when I try now after the latest Firefox update, it opens a new blank tab instead of just launching the application. The URL of the blank page is just "crcc://the_URL_of_the_launching_site?params=dG9rZW49ZWJlN2IyY2FmMTM3YmQxODM3ODZhZDU1NWY2Zjc0ZDNiMWE5ZWIyMSZ2ZXJzaW9uPTEwLjMuNTEzMjEuMjUxMjAmdHVyblBhcmFtcz0lMjJzdHVuJTNBc3R1bi5sLmdvb2dsZS5jb20lM0ExOTMwMiUyMiUyQyUyMnN0dW4lM0ExOC4xOTYuMTA3LjIwOCUzQTM0NzglMjIlMkMlMjJ0dXJuJTNBMTguMTk2LjEwNy4yMDgrJTVCMTc3MDk5NzE1MSU3Q2JsR2hXNDQ3STV5NVl1ViUyQlZ0WXBtMmdKUkpjJTNEJTVEJTIyJTJDJTIyc3R1biUzQTE4LjIwOC4yMy40NSUzQTM0NzglMjIlMkMlMjJ0dXJuJTNBMTguMjA4LjIzLjQ1KyU1QjE3NzA5OTcxNTElN0NibEdoVzQ0N0k1eTVZdVYlMkJWdFlwbTJnSlJKYyUzRCU1RCUyMg==" I tried the standard clearing cache, private window with no help. Anyone else notice this and is there a work around. Of note, after about 5 minutes it does eventually open the application.

There are times when i am using Firefox that my PC will randomly disconnect from the internet. Sometimes it will reconnect on its own after I close Firefox. Other times I either have to restart my PC or go into Network & Internet settings and connect to my network. I am still running Window 10, free updates. Does anyone know what is causing this? It does not happen with any other browsers.

I am encountering an issue where, while searching for images on google, the images appear extremely low resolution. When I attempt to open the image in another tab, it remains extremely low resolution and low quality. The issue is not with the images themselves, as I am able to view them on my phone with higher resolution, it is just my desktop that experiences this issue. Please fix it.

Bonjour, J'utilise Firefox depuis plusieurs années sur Mac et, jusqu'ici, tout fonctionnait bien. Depuis quelques mois, la navigation est ralentie voire bloquée. La roue multicolore tourne pendant quelques secondes à plusieurs minutes, allant jusquà bloquer le système et forcer le redémarrage. Pour continuer à travailler, je suis contrainte d'utiliser d'autres navigateurs, dont Chrome (!), sur lesquels je n'ai pas de problème.

Lorsque Firefox est en arrêt (roue qui tourne pendant plusieurs minutes), je peux basculer sur un autre navigateurs ou utiliser un autre programme sans difficulté. Le problème vient bien de Firefox. Aucune mise à jour iOS ou de Firefox n'est venue à bout de cette difficulté.

Je rencontre ce problème, quel que soit le type d'onglets ou programmes ouverts. Le message d'erreur me dit que j'utilise trop de mémoire pour les applications, mais les autres navigateurs fonctionnent parfaitement dans les mêmes conditions. Et ces applications sont par ailleurs nécessaires à mon activité.

Si vous pouvez m'aider, je serais ravie de pouvoir continuer à profiter de la sécurité de Firefox.

Merci à vous, Manuella Georget

Beginning last night, none of my bookmarks worked. Also the icons on the toolbar are all different (sort of a globe in white outline with a label of the site). My browser indicates it is current.

Odd behavior of tabs, including the following:

1. While trying to access content on a page in an open tab, an existing tab inserts itself in the first tab (left-most) position

2. While trying to download a standard pdf file the save windows opens but does so on top of another, irrelevant tab.

This happened also in Troubleshooting Mode. It happened today for the first time, but it's not happening all the time. Just every so often.

None of this happened in the version prior to 149 (ver. 148.xx)!

I'm using Tab Reloader, and have been using it without a problem for a long time.

Would greatly appreciate your advice!

у меня все слетело ,я еле востановил расширения, слетели все пороли, вообще все. С помощью shadowExplorer я востановил кое какую кастомизацию но при добавлении файлов ( полного (старого)профиля просто с заменой файлов) в новый профиль получается так что я просто не могу не войти не удалить акаунт, что бы я не делал. Мне очень грустно и злостно, я был бы рад если бы мне помогли все востановить(((((( Я люблю фаерфокс но тут он мне насолил.

Hello,

Several sites incorrectly tag their username (and sometimes also password) forms and this prevents firefox's automatic username/password autofil dropdown.

Is there a button or some way to force the autofil to appear? It is a pain in my behind that I have to manually open my passwords in firefox and find the page I am already on and copy/paste these things, just because some websites have strange HTML.

I understand that firefox can't override the HTML of these pages, but there should be some hotkey to force open the autofill dropdown (ideally with some sort of search function or selection based on url). It does also need to have an option to select whether I am pasting username or password.

When I sign on i get a strange message - see below.

Secure Connection Failed

I don't know what this means and how I can get rid of it. Is it important? Doug Conley

I've just discovered that a lot of files I've downloaded in the last few months have the original file date instead of the download date. This has created total chaos and confusion with my organization as I have no idea when I did anything!

I presume Firefox has changed something. But why? When? What files does it affect? How do I change it back?

And why weren't we told about this huge change? After over 30 years downloading files from the web, it's become second nature that downloads always take the download date. A monumental change like this needs to be clearly signposted or it's going to create chaos with people's file systems and organization.

Update: On reflection, I think this is a Windows 10 bug, rather than a Firefox issue, so perhaps this thread should be deleted? I looked at the properties of the files in question and discovered that all three dates DO match the download date. The problem seems to be that WINDOWS ITSELF is displaying EXIF data dates instead of modified date. I only recently started using Windows 10 and this would seem to be a Windows 10 bug.

I noticed in the past day that Firefox started using alot of ssd. It wasn't doing this before, I've been a Firefox user for years now. I'd like to stay that way rather than going with Google or Microsoft. I don't trust some of the other small companies with browsers. I like the fact that Firefox uses it's own engine too. In the last day it started using alot of disk for no reason. How do I fix this. Well, well, well. I just noticed that Icloud from Apple was using alot of disk too and when I shut it down in task manager it stopped. Firefox disk use is virtually none just like Microsoft Edge. So it's some kind of interaction with Icloud that is causing that. But it wasn't doing that before. I have task manager open most of the time to catch stuff like that. My system is decent I have a 2TB 990, 2TB 980, and a 2 TB 860, with and AMD 5800x, 32 GB of ram and an Nvidia rtx 470. Maybe some kind of backup with Icloud was happening, that isn't with Edge. So I know shutting that off works. Icloud is useful for backing up things from my phone though.
