Firefox Support Forum

hello firefox heroes,

I am looking for a way to prevent disabling an addon.

The addon is secondary, but for the sake of completeness: it's about the web blocker LeechBlock.

It was intended as an alternative to the web blocker ColdTurkey, but unlike ColdTurkey, which does not work for Linux systems, there is no password protection to prevent disabling and/or uninstalling the addon. Thus, it is quite easy to get distracted even though you don't really want to.

does anyone know a solution?

See reddit post— no way I'm typing all that again! Reddit Post It's not that long, trust me— it's just that the code is long... I've attached a slightly different screenshot to the one I posted on the reddit post, but it makes no difference if you see one or the other, or both!

In summary, I've added a css code to my userChrome.css thingy to move the tabs below the search bar. I was also wondering what the best way to transfer my userChrome.css file + about:config settings over to a new version of Firefox. Due to not being admin of my laptop (I'm running it out of the .dmg file— besides, I always like to keep an older version of Firefox as a fallback), I have to install a whole new version of Firefox onto my laptop to update.

Thanks!

Before the latest update, I was able to open links (eg zoommtg:) but that quit working. I originally thought it was a problem with Ubuntu, but I tried in Chromium and it seemed to work fine. In addition to not being able to open links, I can't click on the "Show Folder" in the downloads dialog. This leads me to believe Firefox is having trouble communicating with the desktop.

• OS Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
• Firefox Version 114.0.1 (Snap)

Ideally, I'd like to find a log or some indicator as to why this is happening. It's quite annoying because I find myself doing a lot of copying and pasting of links and what not. Any help would be appreciated.

Just restarted PC and opened Firefox, but with my normal Firefox, another page popped up which was a Firefox guest page on the website:

moz-extension://42c45938-6520-42aa-9359-a19de1 12eaf2/js/common /indexhtmizcontentType=notify_shutdown_ti#entry=sync

The website was "Not Secure" so I just closed out of it, was wondering if this is a cause for worry or if it's just a minor issue. All help is appreciated, thanks.

I use outlook to merge my emails from several different providers. Due to a software update, I had to login and confirm the IMAP password of on particular email provider (web.de). Somehow this failed (both in outlook and directly at the web.de website via firefox), and I reset my password for this email. Firefox did not allow me to login directly into my mail on the web.de website, whereas I succeeded to do so in Safari. I updated the new password in outlook, all good. I turned off enhanced tracking protection, cleared all cookies and history, restarted the computer and still cannot login to web.de via firefox. Any ideas?

Hello Firefox, am I alone in having problems with logging in to nsandi.com? I have tried using Firefox in Private and Normal modes but the result is either 'sorry an error has occurred' or the login process goes round in circles. I have to resort to Chrome, which logs me in normally. I am using the latest version of Firefox (as at 20/06/2023) and Windows 10 (last updated 14/06/2023) and verified using cmd sfc... Best regards, John A.

Hi all,

I have been having issues with contributing to a certain forum. When I go to add a new line to a post, or upon deleting and retyping, the white space between the lines is eliminated.

This has a real impact on the legibility of my posts.

Please see the video I have provided for further information.

Many thanks,

This issue has plagued me ever since I switched for Firefox. I have NEVER encountered this issue with any other browser. Once every week or two I will encounter a page with an MP3/MP4 file and will be presented with this error. I have already tried clearing cache, disabling addons, reloading, etc, but I guarantee the "best answer" will just be some rehashing of these steps. Something is fundamentally broken with this browser, and there are hundreds of people across various sites reporting it. Fix it.

How do I stop receiving this message?

Thank you

Hey, hope you're well

I'd prefer opening new tabs to happen in the background, so I can stay on the original page.

So far, Firefox seems to open new links and will switch to them immediately, automatically.

I checked in settings, and found the setting in the attached image.

I found that whether this setting was checked or unchecked, the behavior remained the same.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Whenever I make a bookmark, it automatically puts it in the Bookmark Toolbar, but I want it to default to the Bookmark Menu. I can't find any way to do that and can't find any good information about it. One site said I needed an ad-on, but I shouldn't need that for something so simple that used to work fine on my old computer with Firefox. I can't find any settings for this at all.

Please help me fix this.

Thank you,

Myrah

Hello,

On some websites Firefox is displaying strange text/characters. I've tried refreshing and troubleshooting, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and the problem was fixed for about 24 hours, and now it's back. I have confirmed my language is sent to English.

Has anyone experienced this? And if so, how did you fix it?

I don't want to use another browser, but at this point it looks like I'm going to have to. Everything displays properly on Chrome.

It seems Firefox is getting worse and worse. I am now back to pages loading very slowly. My IT guys say firefox is [redacted] and go to chrome or something else but i hate transferring bookmarks. WHY can't you stabilize your [redacted] browser. Yours is the only browser my PC runs into trouble with. Makes me [redacted] furious.

I frequently use the website Cookie Clicker. After Firefox updated, all the history/cookies for Cookie Clicker seems to have been deleted. I think that only the Cookie Clicker website has been affected... which sucks because I made a LOT of progress in that game. Is there a way to fix this, or am I out of luck?

Why is it Firefox can't control META timelines. Both Facebook and Instagram jump down several posts while scrolling.... I was going to blame it on META till I found this doesn't occur with Chrome or Edge. Firefox is my preferred browser due to the many addon's available.

I started Firefox and apparently it was being updated. When I finally got into the browser, it was totally vanilla. All the old information, bookmarks, toolbar information, were missing. I am using Windows11 Home. If I go to Firefox on my phone, all seems to be the same as it always has been. What happened to my toolbars, etc?
