Hey folks, i'm not sure if anyone else has seen this issue.
I have YT Premium for downloading videos when i'm out and about on mobile and laptop, i've noticed on the browser the download option is now missing with the newest Firefox update.
I opened YT in Chrome and Edge and the option is available - obviously I don't want to swap away from Firefox, so thought i'd raise it if others are having the same issue.
I'll also raise a ticket with Youtube to see if they're doing something dodgy.

Yesterday, I put my laptop in hibernate mode like I always do. When I turned it back on, I was greeted by Microsoft asking me to install Windows 11. Of course, I declined the offer several times. I then noticed that everything I had opened was now closed. So I opened everything up again, including Firefox.
My laptop has a wide-gamut display, and colours look oversaturated by default. It's one "feature" of this computer that I don't like. So, anyway, I had to fiddle with the color management settings in Firefox to get page elements like images and text not to look blindingly saturated. Aside from videos still being unchanged, the settings worked great for many months. Now, suddenly after this push for Windows 11, the color management has seemingly gone back to what it was like before I got it looking right. Nothing I change has any effect. Change settings. Restart browser. Nothing. Repeat that process until I'm ready to launch my laptop out the window.
I closed out and then re-opened Firefox. I refreshed the browser. I rebooted the system. Nothing. All color management settings don't take any effect.

I want to use my tablet for writing/drawing on some websites but the browser doesn't recognize the device. It computes the mouse on the "drawing" screen but not the tablet, and also computes using the pen for clicking and dragging, and/or the tablet as a touch-pad. The device works fine on chrome and on my drawing softwares, so it isn't a problem with the pressure sensors or driver. Tested disabling all addons and restarting Mozilla, but the problem remains. Mozilla is up to date, and I use W10 (also up to date).
Any advice?

Hi @all,
I reinstalled my computer from scratch with Windows 11, before this reinstallation I had Windows 10. Now I noticed that with the newest Firefox version 109 (that I also had before with Windows 10) and Windows 11 my multirow bookmarks toolbar doesn´t work anymore. Before the reinstallation it worked with the following code:
/* Source file https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/tree/master/chrome/multi-row_bookmarks.css made available under Mozilla Public License v. 2.0 See the above repository for updates as well as full license text. */ /* Makes bookmarks toolbar span multiple rows */ #PersonalToolbar{ --multirow-bmb-n-rows: 3; /* Control how many rows are shown before scrolling */ --multirow-bmb-row-margin: 2px; /* Control how much spacing is between rows */ max-height: none !important; } #PlacesToolbar > hbox{ display: block; width: 100vw; } #PlacesToolbarItems{ display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; /* --uc-bm-padding is defined in autohide_bookmarks_toolbar.css */ max-height: calc(var(--multirow-bmb-n-rows) * (5px + 1em + (2 * (var(--multirow-bmb-row-margin) + var(--uc-bm-padding,2px))))) !important; overflow-y:auto; scrollbar-color: var(--lwt-accent-color) var(--toolbar-bgcolor) ; scrollbar-width: thin; } /* Hide the all-bookmarks button */ #PlacesChevron{ display: none } /* Add some spacing between rows */ #PlacesToolbarItems > .bookmark-item{ margin: var(--multirow-bmb-row-margin) 3px !important; }
I already tried some other codes that I found in the internet but none of them worked.
I have this code in the file userChrome.css, this file is in a chrome folder and this folder is in my profile folder.
Can anybody tell me what I have to do to make the multirow bookmarks toolbar working again?
Best regards heusmich

I have latest version of FF and MacBook Pro 10.9.2. Recently had major keychain problems and worked a lot with Apple to solve them. Now all is well but…. I am now frequently asked to enter my master password when I am in FF; they has never happened before. For example, when I go to Amazon, a window opens asking for the master pw. In some cases, this is not a big deal because I can cancel the request and my keychain will get me into the site. In other cases, my keychain does not work if I cancel the request for the MPW and I have to enter my access information. I asked Apple support about this, and they said to contact you.

When I open certain websites (Zillow, Redfin and others) and when I click on a Mail To link in my IOS mail apps on my Mac I now get either a popup to use my Google account or Firefox opens the gmail website. I don't have a google account. Why is this now happening in Firefox. I don't want to login to Zillow, etc., every time I open the website and I have set my Mail app as the default app in "preferences" yet it persists.

For a week or so now, spam pinned tabs keep appearing in my Firefox browser. They're always for coupon2deal.com. They appear already pinned, at random times while I'm browsing. Firefox is up to date, and I have Webroot antivirus running and have made it do a scan of my computer.

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me here. I use Google Fi to make and receive calls from my browser. I accidentally denied microphone permissions to Google Fi from the Firefox dropdown prompt and I cannot find how to get it back.
When I click the dropdown menu, I see no options to enable or disable permissions. I also do not see anything listed in the Security settings of the browser. When I check the google fi settings, I see it complaining about denied permissions though.
I've attached screenshots. Does anyone know where I can revoke the blocked permissions?
Thanks,
I need to retrieve bookmarks and passwords on another computer I have that is dead in the water -- no power and it will not recharge.

I was previously able to connect to my local NAS using the server name, but now cannot. I verified that the server certificate error exception is still listed.
Here is the text of the error message I receive:
"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at [server name redacted]. Did you mean to go to www.[server name redacted].com? If you entered the right address, you can:
Try again later Check your network connection Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)"
I am able to connect using the IP address.

I often use the cync, as its very a usefull tool, for when my pc crashes and I have to re-install windows. What is a real pain though, is even when I have the latest version of fire fox installed , after cync has completed, I stll get back many book marks that I have deleted well be before my last recync and with an older version of firefox. Which i find to be a real pain.
Would it not be possible to change the way cync works, ie, you cold add a button, words to the effect "cync from online to you", in that way, I know I am getting the book marks and data I sent up there last time, I cync-ed
Or to cync your data, when wishing to put all your latest bookmarks offline, would it not be possible to "clear online bookmars and data.
Anys I hope this helps you to understand the problem
Many Thanks

Hello,
I have a firefox Account "accountA" which has the primary eMail-Address "mailA". I had an other Account "accountB" with primary eMail-Address "mailB" and secondary eMail-Address "mailC". Sadly I lost access to "accountB" and it's primary Mail-Address "mailB" (which is ok) but want to change the Mail from "accountA" to "mailC".
However, this is not possible since "mailC" is locked to "accountB" which I can no longer access (since I need the primary Mail Address. This meens I can never again use "mailC" for my Firefox account, which is now my primary Mail-Address. Is there should be a way to disconnect a Mail-Address from an account, if one has ownership of this Mail-Address?

Hello, recently I am having a problem with updating addons on Firefox (Windows, 106.0.3 (64-bit)) for few days now. When I click "Check for updates" it's stuck on checking for much longer than usual and then says that there are no updates available, but when i go to Browser Console it shows me an error message:
"addons.update-checker WARN HTTP Request failed for an unknown reason"
I have tried:
I am really not sure what could be causing this. BTW i can install addons from https://addons.mozilla.org no problem. Could it be on your end?

I want to be able to voice type searches in firefox on my laptop computer. I'd like to access and use the microphone to type when using firefox or on any site I visit via firefox. I want to put the cursor in a text box of any kind (e.g., a search box), turn on a microphone and voice type so that the words I speak are entered, like I do on my phone.
I'm amazed that "voice type in firefox did not yield any usable results. Please advise.

Hello everyone,i lost my saved datas like history,saved password etc when i changed my gmail password which i used to syc my firefox account.I wonder why it happened because i did not tick the box asking if i want to delete them.I also used another laptop to check and the data i lost in my other laptop were there.I added secondary email as back up and clicked to change the new email to primary only for me to see my data got lost from the second laptop again.why? i tried to change the password of my first primary email back to the old password but google did not allow me.My question is,can changing back to my password back to the old one bring my lost data back? i asked because that was the password used by firefox to save my data in their server.will google ever allow me to change back to old password after sometime? what i am amazed at is that i login using other browswer with the new pasword on another laptop and i got back my syc datas.Thanks in advance for your feed back.
