Firefox Support Forum

I have this problem all the time but don't remember it before. Was there a change? Did someone really illiterate become part of the design team? Today's problem word was neuropathy. Not exactly an uncommon word in our diabetic prone society. Sometimes its words way more common than that. This makes no sense at all.

Since the latest update to 106.0.2 "check for updates" runs non-stop until I disconnect from my vpn (ExpressVPN for Windows 7). I can reconnect my vpy but after a short while I cannot open other tabs or windows. I get the message "server not found".

What is going on? You have a fix for this?

I have used FF for years but his might make me switch.

Hello,

I just noticed the attached thing show up on my browser today. It seems to be on just about every webpage I click on in the lower right hand corner. I can move it around, and when I click on it it "pulses" but doesn't really seem to do anything else. The "10" will sometimes disappear and the little ball will "jump" when I click on it before settling back into place. The little ball will switch seemingly at random from top to bottom.

The only webpage I haven't seen it on so far is this one...I have tried right clicking and nothing happens. I don't see any way to remove it.

Can you tell me what this is and/or how to get rid of it? Is it possible it's from one of my extensions? I haven't added any new ones in a while and it seems weird that it would show up all of a sudden with no explanation of how to use it or what it is...

I just opened a pop up that you sent - asking to choose a color. I had no idea it would change the look of Firefox. Please could you instruct me how to change it back to how it was. This brown is not OK.

I don't want any part of my sites exposed to the wider internet, so I'm not going to have ssl certificates.

I don't want to use self signed certificates either. Since it's all local, http is fine. Firefox should not override access of http to https.

I've turned off HTTPS-Only Mode, I've followed instructions from so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30532471/firefox-redirects-to-https

At this point, I can only assume this is a bug?

Hi, I just updated firefox and it changed all the visual settings. I managed to change the colour but now when i go to Google drive it looks very different. It's very bold and everything is outlined.

I opened my drive in Chrome and it was normal. Does anyone know how to change this! Fro someone that is sensitive to visuals i can't handle it!

Thanks

when i am using firefox and i am switching between my word app the web page being displayed it will say expired when returning to it when i am only off the program to paste a word. What can I do to prevent having to refresh and confirm every time??

I am a Firefox user on both of my own computers, but also install it on all systems I support remotely. On one of those the user is a heavy FF user with multiple pinned tabs. This worked without issues for a very long time. However, since V 106 (I don't know it his is related) FF and/or individual tabs frequently crash (on start, or later), offers to restore session or tab, is successful, but then the whole sequence repeats. We have taken all troubleshooting steps, including disabling all extensions, and starting in safe mode, but to no avail.

The system in question runs WINDOWS10 (Home), 64 bit, V 22H2 (newest upgrade) and all patches applied.

Any help or suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

Hello!

I reinstalled Windows on my PC. After installing Firefox and logging in with my account, ALL my saved passwords are gone.

What required to access my logins?

Thank you in advance!

Some websites that should have pictures or animations within the body of their text are not showing up any more (the animations). Also, some websites have buttons to click that no longer work; it's not that any info is missing from input fields; the buttons simply don't work. Actual Example: I recently reformatted my hard drive a few days ago & re-downloaded and installed Firefox. Sometime later on, I signed into my McAfee account, although I kept receiving webpage error messages after sign-in stating the webpage I was seeking didn't exist. However, upon clicking on other buttons, it turned out I was actually signed-in. I went ahead and went to the download section of my account to re-download and install McAfee. No matter how many times I clicked the download button, nothing would happen. I established a chat session with McAfee Support; the Support Agent replied that others had complained about the same thing while using Firefox and the issue had been communicated to Mozilla, who supposedly knows about this and is working on a fix. The tech support agent advised me to use some other browser to download McAfee; I used Edge and the issue was successfully side-stepped. In the meantime, other websites that always have embedded animations or buttons to click don't work any more, either. Firefox has been my default browser of choice for years, but I have to go through the inconvenience to signing-out of whatever website I'm on and re-sign into that website again with Edge; a real pain. Please fix ASAP, and please give us a heads-up when this might be fixed, thanks.

Every other day when I open up Firefox, I am asked to do an update. This is not an exaggeration. Literally, every other day this browser says it needs an update. Is this normal? If so, why in the world does this browser need to be updated so unbelievably frequently?

When I try to save a Google doc, I get "Something went wrong" error message. I've tried all of Google's troubleshooting tips plus contacted Google support with no success. I can save Google docs successfully in Chrome, but Firefox is my preferred browser. Google support asked me to check if I had Firefox set up to block Google drive, but I didn't know how to check for that. They told me Tools>Options>Privacy, but I don't see "Options" under the "Tools" menu.

I notice that this issue with Google docs started after I got the pop-up on 10/31/22 from Firefox about their new themes and tabs. I accidentally clicked "yes" and now have another problem. I can't read the screen and can't figure out how to go back to the default setting. Community says to try a different theme, but none of them works for me. I just want to go back to the default setting for themes and tabs. Not sure if this issue with themes caused the problem with Google drive.

Firefox has blocked my ability to login to online auction sites that I have been logging into for more than a DECADE without telling me. Now I cannot login. I am 68 years old. Firefox is not my mother and I do NOT need or want another mother. How do I fix this so I can login to these online auction sites and prevent Firefox from sticking their nose into my business and tampering with my account without telling me again? Thank you.
