Firefox Community Forum

The website in question does not recognise that data has been entered when it comes from Autofill. The only solution is to manually enter the address details manually. This does not happen on the same website in chrome or Edge. This s enough to send me back to chrome....

I switched from chrome to firefox, chrome has a function for extensions to work in the "background", but here I can't find this function, without it I can't switch songs with binds when something else is open

Hi folks, I am new here. I wonder if someone could help me solve a new problem which may or may not have anything to do with Firefox itself. Let me explain: a month ago or so, I was running Firefox, and my HP laptop, 64-bit, running Win11, told me I needed to run a new update from Microsoft for my Windows. I forgot that I was running Firefox, and started the update. I live on the West coast of Florida, where there is a lot of lightning... So, right in the middle of the Windows update, lightning took out cable and internet, stopping (interrupting) the update download. The whole neighborhood was affected. Later, when internet service was restored, I re-started the Windows update. Now here's the weird thing: every minute or so, no matter what is or is not running, even before I log into my desktop with my PIN, all of a sudden an old image from a previous Firefox session, complete with tabs, pops up. It then cycles through more images, until I hit the enter button, or tap the pad, or hit escape, exiting the image. It even goes away temporarily if I move the cursor, so trying to X out does not work. A little later, it pops back up. I'm working on a novel, and it is frustrating, because this interruption derails my thought train, complete with caboose. Also, one of the images (static) is my bank page. This spooks me... Please help, someone -- anyone? Ahead of time, thank you!

Good afternoon

Copied Firefox profile in W10

Pasting into Profiles folder in W11 but it won't let me do it. See attached.

I have enabled LongPaths in the registry but that hasn't solved the problem.

Please advise Michael

I was not sure what topic/heading to put my question under, but problem occurred like this:

A student organization within my University sent me and email concerning a petition. This is all very legit. But when clicking on the link to see and sign the petition, I got this:

"Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)".

I wonder if this is an EXACT problem you know very well that has to do precise individual account settings, OR could also be linked my status with the University? (I'm a twice Alumni, but am now "lapsed" from my third degree -didn't take a course in "X" no. of semesters- so blocked from registration... And what else)? Maybe this site "is instructed" not open in browser if I'm not a current paying customer of the University?

I don't get it. Links acquired from safe sites, here doubly safe since coming from a legit University address AND safe to come in my email inbox go though like 99% of the time... First I see of this automatic message. I might have change a Mozilla setting SINCE that makes it worse, but I don't understand the original error. I tried to cut and paste in the address bar but didn't help be get answers (didn't see page this way either). Why is it a "my side" problem, why do they say it's an"exception" error, and what is the browser's "console? One's Mozilla acount's home?THANKS FOR CLEARING THIS UP GUYS : )

Just "upgraded" from W10 to W11 and experienced a loss of bookmarks in my Firefox web browser this AM. Happened immediately after the first W11 auto update (I have no idea what it was about, but it last some time). I am given to understand from the in-line Firefox troubleshooting material that our bookmarks and preferences are saved in our profiles. Even after having followed their instructions, however, and after having opened my profile, I can find a way to access bookmarks, or anything, really. And I have followed all of the Firefox recovery tips and instructions, but to no avail. Can any one give an old fool a hand with this?

When I close the browser, recently it is leaving a lot of background processes running. As a foreground application, when I close the browser, I want it ***closed***. That is, no remaining processes/services. File|Exit should mean exactly that.

@Mozilla, please fix this, or add a very clear/obvious setting in Tools|Settings for "Close all browser processes/threads" on exit. I shouldn't need to get into about:config to start finding things to disable.

This has been interfering with backups because of files remaining open/locked even after the browser is closed.

Anyone else see this? When I click the mouse wheel to enable autoscrolling, before I get halfway down the page Firefox starts eating up processor time. You can hear the fan start spinning up until it is screaming at 90%

Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint Mint-001 - 1.0 142.0 (64-bit)

I am unable to access photos on One Drive with Firefox. This problem started a few weeks ago.

I have to use Chrome or Edge to access these photos.

Please advise how to fix this problem.

Downloaded Fire Fox on this new Windows 11 Laptop. Cannot get it to completely clear history, either from tool bar, also have done from Settings, Security to delete all history and cookies when closing. Then from History highlighted and deleted all from there. What is going on? Great that the old data from PC with all add-ons and bookmarks were transferred. I do not know how I did that.

Hi,

I bookmarked a page of a website today and when I attempted to bookmark another I was unable to do so. I checked the troubleshooting advise here and I tried to restore my bookmarks to an earlier date, but that attempt failed. After that, all my bookmarks disappeared and I'm unable to bookmark anything at this point.

I've attached a screenshot of what it says in the Places Database.

Thank you. Deborah

Additional information on the problem of not clearing history. It takes from the tool bar at least 5 attempts to clear the Cache, cookies and past pages. The last 15KB of the system cache will not clear. Tried from Setting; Privacy and Security, said there was still 6.9MB, Cleared, check also the past pages box. Came back to the Tool Bar, still has the 15KB in Cache, but settings said there was zero. Not a critical issue at this time. Going forward when you have a response. JJE

I have an extension I use on my Raspberry Pi media box which locks youtube videos to a selected resolution. On the Pi, this is very useful, as it wants to automatically change to lower resolutions when the resolution is set to "auto". However, on my desktop, this extension causes youtube to not respond to the spacebar properly (it requires two presses to change the pause state). These two browsers are both signed in to the same profile, so when I enable the extension for the Pi, it enables it on my desktop, and when I disable it on the desktop, it disables it on the Pi. Is there any way to have the extension enabled on one browser and disabled on another without using separate profiles? desktop: windows 10, firefox 142.0.1 Pi: raspbian, firefox 141.0
