I cannot login to Yahoo mail on Firefox. I get this message:

         An error occurred while processing your request.
         Reference #97.b77a4217.1617032828.126c598b 

This might be a problem with Yahoo, but I am able to login on other browsers.

Any ideas?

Looking for a solution/work around to the new FF protocols which REFUSE exceptions, which has cut me off from streaming from LEGITIMATE web sites like https://news.stlpublicradio.org/ and other sites as well.

I have used FireFox since Netscape, but am now using Chrome which works fine.

Security is great, but when the security Trumps the ability to actually USE the web sites, then how is that different than just blocking the "offending" website.

You should ask yourselves why the FF market share is so low.

You guys need to come out of the clouds and smell the digital earth where most of us dwell. I love you all for what you do, but you seem to be blowing it. Please get it together.

How to completely disable search in address bar and only have it in search bar.

I am studying web development and need to be able to enter localhost and a port number into the address bar and have the browser use it. Instead I get search results. This is SOOOOO annoying. I tried putting the search bar separate in the options, but that just gets you 2 search bars, which makes zero sense. Is there a way to change this behavior? I am completely frustrated. I don't want to have to go back to Chrome, the horrible resource hog, to complete my classes because I can't even run an emulator if I'm using it.

Firefox, Windows 10 64-bit.

Do I have to get Microsoft's Edge if I am 100 % satisfy with Firefox. I think I'm being bully to get Edge.

Today I found out that Many apps on my system work in the background and slowing down my machine. I enlisted the consulting assistants of an expert and was told that the biggest are Adobe and Microsoft. I had a cleaning done to my system and the results were amazing. I disable Apps I didn't need, uninstall App I did not use in a long time and disable services that did not provided me with any substantive experience or improvement in productivity. The results were amazing. My system was running faster than I have ever seen it run, including the first year after I purchase it. Well, about 2 hours later, I got this notification from Microsoft saying that I have to enable these optional services because Edge would make it better for me to serve the web and have a custom experience and get tailored adds based on my activity. If I had a choice I would pick No Adds. After I read their notification that I had difficulty reading and understanding little of it, I felt pressure to signed up with Edge as my browser. These services were eating my resources like there was no tomorrow and were effecting my productivity level. Microsoft's notification included a screen shot of the changes I did today in my settings with the disable buttons in Privacy and Personalization areas. I have all the required setting about diagnostics, etc. enabled, is there anything I can do to prevent them from using me like a cheap prostitute? Can they shot my account down for that? Is there any other OS providers I could get?

Typing a website in the address bar often results in a window asking for the user name and password for our router (an Orbi). I've tried both the network name and password, as well as the Orbi user name and password, with no success. It happens multiple times a day now, but only on sites we type in. Sometimes if I add https://www. to the beginning of the address it'll work, but often that doesn't solve it either.

iPhone works just fine on sites that Firefox won't access, so it's not the modem or the ISP.

Thanks in advance!

See the attached screenshot. the function is mostly useless as-is now.

This is on Firefox 87 Manjaro 21 (Linux)

Default theme is used.


According to https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/8k3sq4/firefox_updated_to_6001_and_the_search_box_is_no/ there's something wrong with userchrome.css in the profile but that file should be patched if that's the case.

Why this hasn't been patched since it's introduction in version 60 is beyond me.

As of today´s update to 87.0 FF has become virtually unuseable on many sites. Tab titles, website address line and contents of websites that were fine so far display missing or pink singular letters or whole lines of text are made up of blackened squares and rectangles. Upon marking said lines the correct text is visible. What´s going on? Cache and cookies clear, rebooted, still same problem. Hesitant about wiping account regarding having to reinstall all addins that have been running fine for years. Deleted Kaspersky addin in hopes it was the culprit. Unfortunately, no. Any ideas anyone?

Hi, just noticed I am starting to get logs from a script called kwift.FIREFOX.min.js in the developer console. The log contains the following message: `### TIRESIAS run=1 ClassificationReport completed in 51`

Is this a Firefox issue ? Or has my browser been somehow compromised ? (log appears on all websites)

When I'm browsing articles or news stories or what-have-you on the web, I would like to be able to read the information I came from without all the distracting stuff on the sides and top (or worse, the kind of pop-ups that can't be blocked, because they are JS-generated in the same page). Article mode is great for this, but can I have it automatically enable to help prevent me from distracting myself?
