Hello! I have been having certain visual bugs occurring within the Firefox browser, I do not know what's causing them but am hoping someone can help! Firefox keeps on adding or changing translucent white boxes to multiple websites, I have some from YouTube attached below but I've had this issue on multiple websites. I'm using an ARM architecture Surface Pro X and when I reached out to Microsoft they couldn't help me since the error was just in Firefox.

Edit bookmark box won't scroll or show me all my folders/subfolders: When are you going to fix this problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968861

This used to work fine. I don't want to mess with userChrome.css to get it to work. It should just work like it used to.

Thanks very much...

Hey guys,

Can you please tell me how to get my extensions to appear on the toolbar? As you can see from the image (titled "forFirefox03"), only one is shown.

The images (titled "forFirefox01" and "forFirefox02") show all the extensions that I would like to have on the toolbar.

I've included the "About Firefox" (titled "forFirefox04") to show you which browser version I have.

I don't know if I need to show you the title names, but I'm used to Microsoft Answers, where I can put the images between the text, and here, I can't, so I'm assuming I have to show you them as names and images.

I use Mozilla Firefox for work. Part of my work requires I use the GlobalProtect VPN client. When I log on to the VPN, everything appears to be fine. The problem arises when I log out of the VPN client, such as needing to switch to a different VPN.

When I log out of the VPN client, Mozilla slows down massively. I get the following errors when trying to access websites.

PR_END_OF_FILE Timeout

I thought it was a DNS issue, but the change I made previously did not prove to be a reliable fix, and I do not actually know the root cause of what is happening. Firefox returns to normal ONLY after a full computer restart. At this point I am considering switching browsers as, despite Firefox's functionality, it is starting to interfere with my work.

I have used other VPNs, such as Fortigate VPN, and not encountered anything like this.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

I have had it up to here with Firefox. I am madder than a hornet. Currently, I am unable to access my Outlook email and DirecTV in my Firefox browser, though I can in other browsers I have. Sometimes, I can't even sign into Ebay.

The DirecTV problem goes back at least 4 years to a different PC, so I have had this same problem on two PCs, therefore it can't be my PC. Besides, why can I access DirecTV on my Norton private browser and not on Firefox? I get the following error window:

    An error occurred while processing your request.
    Reference #219.b2173e17.1724008787.36e807
    https://errors.edgesuite.net/219.b2173e17.1724008787.36e807

The differing Outlook problem has popped intermittently over the past few months, but has happened more often lately. In that problem, the sign-on button is not activated.

Similar with the Ebay sign-on problem, except Ebay thinks I'm a bot and won't let me go any further than that perplexing error message.

I'm in the process of gravitating to the Norton private browser. I've already got all my bookmarks moved to that browser. At least Norton works for these three websites.

To put it bluntly, I think Firefox is a big stinking pile of horse manure. Firefox makes it EXTREMELY difficult to find out solutions. I believe Firefox actually WANTS it to be difficult to use. Why else would it be so hard to find out things? For example, instructions tell me to do something in some menu or click on some button, but the menu selections or buttons usually aren't there. I go round and round through the same blankety-blank webpages. I feel like a June bug constantly circling round a light. Even wanting to simply restore Firefox to original settings requires pulling eye teeth.

It took me over an hour to finally restore Firefox settings yesterday, which fixed things for THAT DAY ONLY. Today, the same problems cropped back up again.

I've had it. Unless I'm given some solution THAT ACTUALLY CONTINUES TO WORK, I am quitting Firefox.

Have a good day. I sure as hell haven't.

I'm not sure exactly when this behavior started, but I've noticed that when I click a link to an XPI file on a third-party web-site, Firefox no longer prompts to install the extension.

For instance, when I click the outlined link in the first screenshot, the second screenshot shows what happens.

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with the search bar on the Firefox homepage. When I click into the search field and begin typing, the cursor jumps to the address bar, and the text I’m entering gets redirected there instead of staying in the search bar.

I've checked my search settings, and everything seems to be in order. I’ve also tried disabling add-ons, but the issue persists. Could you please assist me in resolving this problem?

Thank you for your help.

I have Hulu live tv streaming and the video is not streaming. I get a black screen when I select a channel or an item from the library. This also happens when I try to stream local tv stations' 24 hr streaming sites. Other streaming services (Disney+, ESPN+, Netflix... etc) stream just fine. Hulu works perfectly in Microsoft Edge but I truly prefer not to use it. I've been using Firefox for years. This has happened after the latest update of Firefox. The update before this latest I experienced a similar problem and using the trouble shoot mode narrowed it down to a problem with Adblocker Ultimate extension. I deleted the extension and reinstalled it and the problem corrected. I did the same this time and no success. I have cleared the cache and reset Firefox and still the problem exists. TIAF any help.

After my Windows 10 laptop being in sleep mode I found my background picture changed and all my Firefox tabs missing (while my bookmarks, add-ons, history etc. saved, and all other apps functioning properly). Recently Closed Windows menu was inactive and using Restore option in Library had no effect (despite availability of recent saves).

I found out that Mozilla folder was just missing in %appdata% (e.g. Profile Folder in about:support leaded to a non-existent directory). No manual changes to Firefox settings/data were made and no new profiles created.

What might be the problem and are there any ways to restore my tabs?

Hello, I use Ufile for my taxes. They weren't bad a few years back. For the past 3-4 years they have been a problem with their website not loading properly. They want you to use Chrome (as do more then a few websites). I don't like Chrome for privacy reasons. What do you suggest I do? Load Chrome for Ufile and then delete it. Can you suggest a tax website that works better with Fire Fox? Open to suggestions. Thanks in advance. Bob
