I tried changing my IP address with a free IP address in Network Settings but that didn't work (because I searched my address online and it didn't change) so I added Firefox "Hide my IP" extension and that didn't work, either. I went to a few websites and I got popups telling me I needed to hide my IP address. How can I change my IP address without paying for a VPN?

Hi, I have been quite satisfied with Firefox for a while, but these problems are ruining the experience for me. 1. The tabs keep refreshing when I switch apps or even when I stay on the browser, just by changing tabs and leaving it open within the session. I usually open a lot of tabs, and this has nothing to do with the inactive ones. 2. I used to be able to play YouTube videos in the background or with my screen off on the Firefox browser on my Android phone without problem. But now the audio keeps pausing and doesn't continue to load, even closes itself after a few seconds of loading. Nothing i've done, including downloading the video playback fix addon, clearing cache, restarting phone and turning off and on data saving mode/background data permission, has fixed this problem.

So i make page smaller at 60% size, and when i scroll it move on the same amount of space as its on 100% size, basically decrease scroll speed. Is there a way to make it not happen and make scroll speed the same at any page size.

Almost every Firefox update for the last year has deleted my container tabs.

More recently, while reconstructing my containers for several Google accounts, I pin them as I create each tab. Next time I restart Firefox the pinned containers are there but blank when opened and new unpinned tabs appear for the same containers.

On my mac I have the f14 key mapped to start a screen saver, but whenever I'm using firefox it appears to take control of the f14 key and prevents the use of my screen saver shortcut. Whenever I select another program that isn't firefox, my shortcut immediately works again, so I know firefox is the problem. Is there anyway to prevent firefox from using the f14 key?

In sites such as Instagram and LinkedIn (these were the ones I noticed this happening), after I close an overlay containing a post and its comments by clicking outside of it, it starts selecting everything, as if I'm holding the mouse button. Clicking again stops selecting. And as fas as I know, this is only in Firefox (doesn't happen in Chrome nor Edge).

I've tried disabling all extensions, and it still happens.

I've also posted this as a reddit thread here, with a video attached showing the problem happening: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/19d2fv6/in_firefox_everytime_i_close_an_overlay_it_starts/

SHORT STORY:

I have been able to find extension behind errors shown in dev. console (F12 key) like CSP ones (mouse hover over the link near the error on dev. console (F12 key), Console tab, to see moz-extension://somestring and find first characters of the string at page about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox) But is there any better/easier way to find out web page issue causing extension?

LONG STORY:

Website fails to load (but in a Private window loads OK). F12 key in normal window, Console tab, shows:

SyntaxError: redeclaration of let settings

clicking it, it further show:

abc123-def456-...-...-....:1:1

   <anonymous> blob:moz-extension://8834...

inject resource://gre/modules/ExtensionContent.sys.mjs:581

   AsyncFunctionNext self-hosted:852

when i search for mentioned 8834 (first letters of a long string) at about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox (i get there clicking settings wheel at about:addons and "Debug addons".) then i find Chameleon extension.

So I try to pause extension in its menu, that not helped, but disabling whole extension in about:addons removed errors, yet page still does not load. 4 remaining CSP errors like:

Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at inline (“script-src”). contentScript.js:160:48951 ...

when I mouse hover over the hyperlink "contentScript.js:160:48951" the browser status bar shows extension address and when i memorize first letters of the address and search it at mentioned about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox tab, i find: Phantom (cryptocurrency wallet) Metamask (cryptocurrency wallet) Phantom (cryptocurrency wallet) Violentmonkey (provides userscripts support for browsers - I am using it only for https://github.com/Owyn/HandyImage which is disabled currently)

I have tried to didable all these extensions causing removal of a CSP errors, yet page still does not load in normal browsing window (in private does). Normal browsing window shows only one warning/error:

Source map error: Error: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/debugger/source_map_errors/ Resource URL: moz-extension://extension address here/browser-polyfill.min.js Source Map URL: browser-polyfill.min.js.map

when i search for the extension address first letters at mentioned page about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox i find "Textarea Cache", disabling it does not make page load.

After re-enabling disabled extensions and restarting Firefox, page started loading. I suspect (likely wrong) that the python application which is serving local web page in question had exhausted connection limit for the normal browser window/process, but the private browser window process was OK.

What i can do better to discover the causing extension or other cause of failed loading page?

Firefox will not let me log in to my Lowe's account nor my Petsmart account. I have no trouble using other browsers. Is this a settings issue or a issue between Firefox and those websites?

Running Firefox 122.0 on Mac OS Ventura. When I save some articles via the toolbar icon, ithey show up in my online Pocket account, but only as links, not full downloads. Same for some saves via my iOS app. Consequently I'm unable to read this content offline. Attached screenshot shows the difference. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Safari has a menu option to "Close All Windows" (Command, alt W).

I am curious to know why Firefox doesn't.

The only way to close-all that I am aware of, is to quit Firefox and restart. Very frustrating!

There are sub-menu functions for individual tabs and such, but no simple way to clear the browser.

(I'm on Mac OS Sonoma)

Thanks

Recently, whenever I try to login to a website, firefox is suggesting an email that has never been used on this device/account and I don't even know who's email it is. How do I clear this from the memory as it is quite inconvenient.

my browser was running insanely slow so i decided to close it out only to open it back up to being logged out, tabs gone (but still synced for now) and at least 1 extension which is now no longer available for download gone! i'm p***ed mostly because the extension (enhancer for youtube) was the only good one of it's kind and now it's gone for absolutely no reason. i did not clear any data or cookies prior to this so why?!

i just opened Firefox and saw the screen shown in the image below, although i have a problem. Opera is listed as a browser. it is actually spyware and i would like it if you guys did a bit of research to confirm and maybe put a warning sign next to opera so Firefox users can warn opera users to switch browsers

When use chrome I can double click with select IP address. But It's only select one number in Firefox. I think the chrome behavior is more compatible habits of people.

I know layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation config . But It's not. In chrome, only dot will be part of number.

for example: this is a IP: 1.1.1.1, you can try it.

in chrome will get: this is a IP: "1.1.1.1", you can try it.

but in Firefox only select 1
