Hi there,

In the search settings, I have set DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and removed all other engines from the list of options. However, I often notice that Google (which I have removed from the options) has replaced DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and has again been added as an optional search engine, without me knowing. Why is this happening? Is it possible to stop it happening, and if so, how can I stop it happening?

Cheers Paul

If I try to save the current page, by selecting Save Page As from the File menu or the right-click pop-up menu, nothing happens. Similarly, in a tab displaying a downloaded PDF, clicking on the folder icon that should save a copy of the file does nothing. No error indication that I can find, but the Save dialogue does not appear. The same operations work as expected in Chrome, so it doesn't appear to be a general problem with my system.

I really don't want to switch to Chrome as my primary browser, but not being able to save PDFs is a show stopper for me.

I wiped out my computer and it is brand new yet I keep getting this mozilla error and it crashes mozilla, the computer is fine. The error is below, how can I fix this?

Moderators, I am copy and pasting the below warning I have seen on similar posts at the top of the post.

--- WARNING: This script is not provided by Mozilla and is not officially supported Creating a userChrome.css file and other ways of customizing Firefox that are not exposed in the interface are there for developers, not end-users. If it were intended for end-users, you would see a menu option or checkbox; you wouldn't have to hack a text file in a hidden location.

What this means is that even though the functionality you want is no longer supported, a third-party has found a way to do it using the CSS file. If it breaks in new versions, you will need to contact the person who provided the script.

[Warning was not added by moderator, but by me to save someone time.] ---

With that out of the way, here's the issue I have, how I've solved it temporarily for the community.

When I load YouTube videos, I am given a statuspanel message with the URL of the video playing. It's not momentary or temporary, it stays there, the entire time. Why anyone thought this was a good idea, I'm not sure.

My question is simple, is there an alternative solution - to remove this statuspanel message permentantly - to what I'm sharing here, without using the userChrome.css file?

If so, please provide the solution so it can be tested and upvoted by the community, thank you in advance if that is you.

If there is not, then this post also serves as solution as well as a request to Modzila, that being.

Modzilla. Please make a solution that doesn't need custom .css scripts.

I am posting this as I needed multiple posts to achieve a solution so am hoping this serves as that for someone (including myself) until Firefox resolves this issue themselves, another way.

Solution: Windows 7/8/10/11 as of Firefox version 120.0

1. Go to about:config, click Accept the Risk and Continue 2. Type "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets", toggle this to true 3. Close all instances of Firefox 4. Open Explorer, navigate to %appdata% then navigate down to \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and select your profile folder. If you only have 1 it may be obvious, if not for me it's the only "~.default-release" folder, where ~ is a random set or letters and numbers. If you're unsure, pick the first folder named like this, then repeat the next steps for all profile folders, or use trial and error if you prefer until you achieve the desired result. 5. Make a new folder "chrome" in that folder. 6. In this folder make a new .css file, right click make a new .txt file rename the file and extension "userChrome.css". 6. Open the blank .css file with a text editor and paste this line without quotes "#statuspanel {display:none!important;}" and save. 7. Attempt to load videos or pages where messages usually appear in the bottom left and observe the results

There are various other posts both here and other places that I have combined to write this solution, none of the others worked on their own, for me, which is why I write this and to refresh the request to the Modzilla Firefox team, to please, share or make a solution so we don't have to do this, as you'll otherwise need to continue supporting this legacy feature in future versions of Firefox.

Note: This will likely remove all statuspanel messages on other pages too, I have read other statuspanel commands online so if you want to be particular about muting some and not others, you may need to modify the file further.

I bought a second laptop. The second laptop keeps insisting on a master password to sync passwords with my first. I have NEVER set up a master password on my first and I am stuck! There is no option to import from the SAME browser. My first laptop keeps downloading a CSV file that my second refuses to acknowledge that it IS a CSV file.

Firefox (on 2nd laptop) asks me if i want to save passwords and autofill, I always say yes BUT ZERO autofill. Back to the paper age. I have had to write down my pass words from my first and write them in every time. I have run every malicious software and sacn can I can find.

Ideas anyone please.

I use an translator extension for firefox for russian so I do not need this integrated tool and it's annoying to see it everytime I open a russian page. Please help me, I don't know what the source is of this translator but I can tell it's not from an extensions as I deleted every extension and tried, not worked.

Hi I have a problem with the configuration of my Firefox. (I hope it is not something more serious like a malware or a security break)

Firefox version 124.0 (64bit) Os: Windows 10 Pro (64bit) 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Step to reproduce

1. 1. I go to: https://wwws.tesoro.es/index.aspx (website of the Spanish gov)
2. 2. I click on the link: Cl@ve in the center of the page (that should bring me to https://pasarela.clave.gob.es/Proxy2/ServiceProvider)
3. 3. I receive an error page "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue" "SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER" (see the attached screenshot)

Things I tried

• I followed the same steps on Chrome on the same machine

The website works

• I followed the same steps on the same Firefox in Incognito mode on the same machine

The website DOESN'T work

• I followed the same steps on a completely new Firefox profile on the same machine

The website DOESN'T work

• I followed the same steps on Firefox on a different machine (same Firefox version, windows 11)

The website works

Can't login to usaa.com banking site. keeps refreshing login page Using FF desktop latest ver. / win 7

I enter/submit my USAA username on the login page via a username dialog box. I then expect the password dialog box to open, but when I submit the username, FF flashes, i.e. the password dialog box displays for a split second and reverts right back to the username dialog box.

This happens at usaa.com with my user agent set to Windows/FF v 113. BUT if I set the user agent to Android/phone FF v 113, USAA detects the browser as Android/phone FF and it redirects to user agent to https://mobile.usaa.com where I AM able to enter username/password and login.

So what is wrong with FF? There are multiple threads of users unable to login to banking and other sites on the FF browser.

i was watching youtube when this happened here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o25FuR0eUAs the error "your browser cannot play this video"

This button was one of my favorite things about the Firefox internal PDF viewer. It allowed me to quickly save a bookmark of where I am in a .pdf file. I went back and figured out this seems to have been removed in v106.0 when they added an edit feature.

Is there anywhere else in the application to save the bookmark to your exact location in a .pdf file?

Or is there a way to return this button to the application?

I attached a screenshot of the button.

I keep having trouble trying to play a video on YouTube. When I try and play a video on You Tube the video will simply not play or take forever to start playing. What can be done to fix the problem? Can someone help. Thank you.

Hi All,

I would like to change the url border color when it has the focus to blue.

The code below works, except when you press Escape.

After hitting Escape, the urlbar still has the focus but its border changes back to gray. It should remain blue.

I would also like to remove the box-shadow after pressing Escape, when the urlbar is not expanded (to mimic the behavior of FF 88).

The url and search input fields also do the same goofy thing Windows 10 does - the cursor stops blinking after 5 blinks and remains frozen. Any way to remove that behavior and keep the cursor blinking? If not, no big deal, the other stuff above is more important.

Any code suggestions to get that behavior are welcome!

/* set the initial borders of the urlbar and search bar to gray */
#urlbar > #urlbar-background, #urlbar[breakout][breakout-extend] > #urlbar-background, #searchbar { border: 1px solid #a1a6b5 !important; outline: none !important; border-radius: 0px !important; }

/* set urlbar border to blue when focused */
#urlbar[breakout][breakout-extend] #urlbar-background {
   border-color: #0078d7 !important;
}

Hello, I tried following methods online to disable private browsing however they don't seem to work (possibly due to being outdated?) and I was wondering if there is a way of disable private browsing in Ubuntu 22.04? I have added pictures to show what I implemented and it still allows private browsing.

I am trying to access a particular site - www.citizensbankonline.com. Prior to a few days ago, I was able to without issue but now I get an "access denied" error - see error message below. This appear to only happen on a particular computer; when I try same bookmark on a laptop, I am able to gain access. I am running an Apple Mac mini M1 - OS is Monterey (version 12.4 - just upgraded) - the problem happened PRIOR to the upgrade, too. I am running Firefox browser 101.0 (64 bit) - upgraded earlier today - problem exists on prior and current version. The laptop is a Macbook Air M1 running 12.4. I am able to access this site using a different web browser with the M1 Mac mini machine - used Chrome. I am able to access other banking and ecomm sites without issues. Have spoken to tech support staff with Citizens Bank; they suggested all the stnd trouble shooting techniques described above and below.

I have cleared the cache and cleared cookies related to this site - in Manage Data in preferences - sorted by recent access to show most current cookies and deleted them. Search list in Manage Data for older cookies from same site - found none. I have used the "Forget about this Site" option accessible from the History menu item. I have also cleared other site data from the "Clear History" option. I have disable some of the loaded extensions related to login issue (1password, etc..) I have disabled the default proxy and specified "no proxy". As I have gone through this list of trouble shooting techniques, have quit Firefox and relaunched.

What is "interesting" is that after clearing the cookies, I am able to access the home page of the site and can enter my username and password - either manually or using the auto fill feature of 1password. Upon clicking "enter", I then get the "access denied" error. I terminate that browser window and create a new window and either select the link from my bookmarks OR type in the link manually (have done both) and press <enter>. This time, I can not even get to the default homepage - getting "access denied" error at this point.

I have taken two screen shots of error message - below. The one with the URL ending with the "default.jsp" results from clearing cookies and getting to the home page (once), entering user name / pwd and trying to log in. The other results from the next time I access the site - the home page will not even load.

My guess is that I have a very specific corrupted file / configuration setting for this particular website that does not get cleared by any of the stnd trouble shooting methods.

Latest version install (116) causing functionality issues in Google apps, and other Windows 10 apps. Tried to install an earlier version and that did not work. Tried the Beta version (Current 117) and no changes.

When I access bookmarks using the manager/editor I see all bookmarks. However when I try to use bookmarks from the dropdown in the toolbar, I only see some bookmarks. I think it's the newer bookmarks that are missing but not certain.
