Firefox Support Forum

Today I lost internet access. While it was being restored I was trying to access a local server on my network that does have an https certificate. While the internet access was down I was unable to connect to that server using firefox and I had to fall back to Chrome. I couldn't see any option to ignore or accept the warning and continue at my own risk.

When browsing in Firefox and I'm trying to select buttons to click, Firefox often now shows me a menu instead of allowing me to click. I have to migrate away from the button elsewhere on the page a few times and then get back to the button. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't. Why is it doing this now?

I have both Windows and Firefox listed for Firefox as my default browser. I have checked every default app and extension type and they are all directed to open in Firefox. Yet when I click on a web link using Firefox, it opens in Edge. Any help or insight into this is appreciated.

I'm looking for a simple extension. A one-click extension that would enable me to delete cookies at any time during a firefox browser session. I would like to exclude some cookies from deletion, so I'd like a whitelist option.

Has anyone come across an extension like this?

thanks for your consideration

I'm currently looking for a job, and I keep my windows separated by category, so I have one that is job search related, and the other that is more general. In my job search window, I have many tabs open for different job postings that I want to hang on to /keep track of. When I want to jump to one of these tabs, I open a new tab and type in whatever its title would be, and then when it pops up in my history I click the "Switch to tab" shortcut to get to it. I find it saves time as opposed to sifting through 50 tabs. In this case, I was trying to find a tab that was opened to a sales job posting, and I clicked switch to tab. However, it took me to a what I think is an entirely separate window, one that I didn't even have open previously, and my jobs window disappeared. I tried to reopen it in History, but it didn't show up. Does anyone know what might have happened here, and how I can recover that window?

Hello fellas, Forexample, i wanna watch or read something and click it(left click) but click work like a middle click, open in new tab. Probably you can say something about "about:config" settings. Thank you

here is the latest of many crashes documented. I have no idea how to fix this. The problem-solving measues on the Fierfox website were all without success bp-5ab98827-7fab-4757-8baa-db3360240204

on my MS Rewards account today, for the first time, I got this message: We're unable to complete your request invalid_request: The provided value for the input parameter 'redirect_uri' is not valid. The expected value is a URI which matches a redirect URI registered for this client application.

I access this when I access MS Rewards on my FF home page: https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=9c941f7c-a811-4e9c-8e66-29fdec50490f&scope=openid+profile+offline_access&redirect_uri=https%3a%2f%2fsnr.wus2.binguxlivesite.net%2fsignin-oidc&response_type=code&state=CfDJ8I2_1MsyeC5LgSUu2RHmXGM8NYR9tb3xmjMlREe6oQOjEfzHFEUWpw30cqkq771pzVIhypEtFqCBc5D-UODbjDQRDt7Ne1SEKfgdy46mi-No0Lg0fPe82eRxVHtS7bTdLxGl2cFchPkU66mIpnlY5isc9n0UqhWZ5NxF6a7Ikx_gpbi1EQIjk0MVXkVeq07WCNQe0p_C8ViFNBwjRIatZg245flkXtpHjlb1dPOoD1Rjd2guTfssPycFD5BeY4r-re6dmCzvZjvWH6joR2_GsNYKKlrRJQpi7DqCBdN2RqfRck6CqndCQAp0r_iYrDaOXb-ogUmUtv-BpbCu0f1So864MlUseJDGHRpvzQDe02ETlzmMmPM2QNLzYfJGii9n7jtEr9R_J_TX6NRAN93B64pA3N90YkVJ6eyK8weAOu9AIA6lbFvJ_mnfxICEEJFwhYByHH77g6hpQTOS5Tz97Kfm4Ycx0fCAA8p9BmdmnKa9-v0r-qa9D1Z-njY7BxdbQbtqWSz18Cg5FAs2EVZn8XQ&response_mode=form_post&nonce=638426827054027297.YzNjNmY1OGYtZDY0NC00YjlmLWE5OWEtZGVkYzRiYTBlYzdjN2YwYjNmMDItZDg4ZC00OTA3LTkzYmUtZTVhYmRlYWQ2NTBk&code_challenge=3yhQGg2lh3Cap_R7IDWk9-ouGYj2g3jJfujMzb3fkcw&code_challenge_method=S256&x-client-SKU=ID_NET6_0&x-client-Ver=6.23.1.0&uaid=43313cd0afae45969ebf5c46ef8d7e8d&msproxy=1&issuer=mso&tenant=consumers&ui_locales=en-US&client_info=1&epct=PAQABAAEAAAAmoFfGtYxvRrNriQdPKIZ-XC3bCyPcKLOzsZYRz6lpczJgwm6PlBpJSPyYzGTCentiNRAqqk3_W8VOgCNQVatmpG9RQvuUH4zmTt7_Iex1K6tMApLev5-gKu0UFiETGIm6xLIFOKDEtcYtFaDmIsqso_qaav6O9zUu71PdhRB8IGY8O5SdMJ5v8kG0kIZCvvYOX9A5kug5vobSGMuCqifBCEDo_7A4IUgSls89mKZptyAA&jshs=0&fl=easi2&cobrandid=03c8bbb5-2dff-4721-8261-a4ccff24c81a&lw=1#

My places.sqlite file deleted all previous history on Jan 17th at about 11:07 PM all the way back to early December of 2023. Ccleaner was last run on Jan 11th and the browser settings are set to clear cache and cookies only. The computer was showing no issues and I did not discover the lost history until I pulled up the history four days later. The history identified only the past four days when the last week was selected. The sessionstore-backups folder showed files back to January 1st. What I cannot figure out is why the places. sqlite would just clear on its own and why I cannot activate any previous sessionstore file by following the mozilla firefox instructions below.

I only get the landing page with the option to restore the previous session grayed out. What common reasons are there for a places.sqlite file to wipe out a block of history and why would reactivate a previous session not work? Thanks!

Many files and folders have accumulated under the <profile>/storage/archives/0/ folder. The root folders therein are apparently named according to the yyyy-MM-dd date format. The dates range from ca. 1-2 years old.

The only information I could find about this folder was via ChatGPT, but that is not a reliable source of course.

Can I safely delete these folders and/or exclude them from a profile backup?
