Hello,

I am a developer and I am working on a project but it is next to impossible for me to share my staging server cookie on my localhost project which I am running locally. I have tried multiple possible ways which was listed on google and even on chatgpt but nothing is working out. Please help me out with this disaster.

Thank you for you support which I am expecting urgently.

Bookmarks fetching titles when dragged and dropped by mouse

Hello people,

Lately, I've been having the problem with bookmars.

When I want to save my favourite pages to specific folders I created for different areas, I always used the method where you click in panel with www address e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/, the whole address is now selected and I drag that addres to specific folder of mine. When placed, the bookmark was saved to that folder, but in addition to that, Mozila browser also fetched bookmark title with title of the page.

So after drag-and-dropping the link https://support.mozilla.org/ I ended up with bookmark in my folder, that looked like this: "Get Support | Mozilla Support"

Now when I do the same procedure, I just copy the link addres itself. So it ends up like this: "https://support.mozilla.org"

You get the idea. )Where did the feature of fetching titles dissapear? Can it be returned back?

I've been using bookmarks this way (drag-and-drop by mouse to specific folder) since I can remember. And this problem occured just week ago. It helps me to speed up my process faster than using the star icon. And now I dont even know what I saved when I look at my folder and try to make sence of it the next day, because everything I can see is link addresses.

I tried it on many computers and many diferent systems Win10 11 etc and I still get the same problem. I tried it with reinstalling Firefox, with deafult settings, in normal or inkognito mode. Nothing works.

Any help? Can this be fixed?

Not sure if this is something everyone experiences but every time Firefox updates on my computer, the password manager goes back to default settings and starts prompting to save passwords again. I have disabled the darn thing countless times, but it always comes back alive after the browser restarts after an update. Why does this setting does not persists after an update and stays disabled? I have a Firefox account, and sync is on.

Same as this question, but the answer is outdated: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/839240

Is there a way to do this in the about:config page?

There is an answer about holding `Alt`, but that is a workaround.

I have been using Firefox for years and am running 111.0.1. I also use only Yahoo email. Today I was attempting to send an email with several attachments about kept getting different error messages that kept me from completing the task. Of course, I was blaming Yahoo not being able to handle it but.....just for the heck of it I opened Microsoft Edge, logged into my email......and proceeded to send the email with no problems, delays or error messages. Is Firefox not able to handle some things? I don't think I should have to go to another browser just to send an email!

There is a wave of malware targeting authentication cookies stored on disk (e.g. recent LTT hack). It has become obvious that malware doesn't need to target stored passwords to get access to a site/account. Primary Password has solved this problem, but only for the stored passwords. The stored cookies are just as exposed as the stored passwords were, provide access to sites/accounts and bypass 2FA checks because they bypass normal login protocols.

Primary password should secure the stored cookies as well. When is this going to be implemented?

Thanks!

do firefox 'saved passwords' remain after backing up to external hd and factory resetting mac?

Hi, Am backing up a laptop that needs to go overnight to a repair shop and want to wipe it clean for privacy. Will the passwords saved by firefox be saved in the backup as well?

I've also downloaded them to a csv file as an additional precaution, but have no idea how to reload them into 'saved passwords' after the repairs are complete, as no option is provided for that - only the option to import from another browser... Thanks for your help!

PS: also, why does mozilla require a manual login to this support forum when my login is saved in it's own password saver?? It is not auto-filling it as expected.

I am using Norton Password Manager for all my logins. Trying to figure out how this will affect my Firefox account. I just changed the account password to one randomly generated, but haven't logged out yet as I want to make sure I can get back in. Should I logout on all devices & then log back in with new password?

The little image shown will appear and float on the left bottom of pages I open including secure pages that require me to log in to enter. That little stick man I consider a security threat and have tried to get rid of it to no avail.

The picture I captured of it was when it was on blue background. If on white background, just the circle with the stick man in it.

How can I delete it?

I am running Firefox 111.0.1 on macOS 13.2.1. After upgrading to 111, Firefox's ability to remember per-site zoom settings seems to have disappeared. Based on my perusal of some previous issues with Firefox zoom levels, I tried changing the `browser.display.os-zoom-behavior` setting in `about:config` from `1` to `0`, but this has no effect. Is there some way to restore per-site zoom level retention? That was a really nice feature that I relied on quite a bit.

I noticed with yahoo finance, and possibly another site or two I do not recall, that firefox becomes unable to open any other URLS and seems to lock up after visiting one or more of my saved favorate/bookmarked Yahoo Finance Urls.

I found a solution that works here...

https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1349884#answer-1441665

The solution is not permanent and has to be applied everytime I open firefox and visit a site that causes this problem. It does NOT seem to affect M.S. Edge at all.

Is firefox / mozilla working on a permanent fix for whatever causes this issue?
