Firefox Community Forum

I had recently tried to download a .Zip file, which got corrupted. I tried twice again. Now every time I open the browser the three corrupted files pop up in the "downloads" window. It does not appear when opening a new tab, only when starting the browser. I have deleted the corrupted folders and don't want to retry downloading. I have tried both "clear all downloads" and "remove from history" in the downloads window, but the notification still shows up. Settings do not help.

How can I remove this pop-up? It blocks my toolbar and is a general nuisance.

I struggled some time with download links, no matter what filename I specified in the download="filename" attribute, the file I got was always download(1..n). Now I put all into one zip archive. I have a german and an english page, the link is:

Alle Skripte hier zusammen in einem ZIP: <a href="../downloads/backup.zip" title="Download Backup Skripte" class="ilbutton" download>backup.zip</a>

in der deutschen und

Here all together in one zip file: <a href="../downloads/backup.zip" title="Download Backup Skripts" class="ilbutton" download>backup.zip</a>

. I can't see a difference except the language. But: the download of the german link comes as "download.zip". The one from the english one as "backup.zip". WHY???

Thank you for any proposals!

All of a sudden I am finding that Firefox will not connect me to certain websites such as Walmart, Doordash and even Firefox itself. It looks like it's trying to but it just gets stuck. What's causing this and how do I fix it?

Well, I don't know how I did it, but:

I'm trying to sync my Firefox between 2 PCs. I had trouble with it, and now the situation is: a) my source PC asks me to create a new profile as it spits the dummy on my existing one; it does not offer me the option of creating a new account b) my destination PC does the same. In both cases, when I choose the "Sync and save data" menu option, then enter my email, I get the message: "This profile was previously synced to a different account. To keep your data...To sign in using <email address>, create a new profile." Creating a new profile does not have all the configuration and info that I have in my current profile.

It would be nice if I could reset everything back to square one with the sync process. Does anyone have a good suggestion?

bold text I contacted Directv.com via chat. After trying to sign in to my account on Firefox (which was successful), I could not go to either MY ACCOUNT INFO. or any other page without being signed out AUTOMATICALLY upon clicking any further tab (such as MY TV Package). Their chat technician said that FIREFOX is no longer supported! Is there any way to fix this?

I have tried accessing various Websites, including Google.com; DuckDuckGo.Com; whatismyipaddress.com, and this Mozilla support page. For each, I recieved the message: "Unable to find the proxy server". Turning the Firefox VPN off immediately enablabed the Websites to be loaded.

As you will appreciate, putting Websites on the exclude list should be done with care, and by exception. If the VPN doesn't work on well-known Websites, it's not exactly ... useful. 😥

Hi Team,

Since yesterday I am observing the issue while accessing Whatsapp which is asking for Quick security check with passkey and same was observed in Google which was resolved within few clicks but not Morzilla.

Currently using with Google.

Recently (within the last month, March 2026) when pasting links into emails on Microsoft Outlook online a pop-up window appears which prevents you from continuing typing unless you manually click on the window with your mouse cursor (hitting enter isn't sufficient). This is extremely aggravating and significantly slows down workflow. As far as I can tell, this issue only happens in Microsoft Outlook. I have ensured my Outlook settings aren't to blame, in part by failing to recreate this issue in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on the same account with the same Outlook settings.

Here is a screen capture of this happening I recorded tonight: https://imgur.com/Qte3N6b

I have ensured my Firefox is up-to-date (Version 149.0.2 64-bit).

It looks like others have had similar issues. Some examples follow.

1: /u/TyDraniu reports this issue on Google Docs here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1567972. (I do not have this issue on Google Docs, only Outlook.)

2: A year ago a reddit user reported this issue and a config altering "fix" that a Mozilla engineer said was very bad advice: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1dofgd2/pasting_into_web_outlook_popping_up_little_paste/. (I have not tried this fix given the engineer's response.)

3: That reddit post links to a 2023 Mozilla Support thread noting that same "fix" but containing no actual solution: https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1411533#answer-1579497.

Two weeks ago I started getting popups telling me to use tab groups (pic below). I have no settings governing tab groups, I did not update Firefox, I didn't enable or change anything.

How to I turn this off?
