Firefox Support Forum

In the middle of the FF home page, the search box functions normally, but not on a new tab page. The box is fake and typing automatically goes to the address bar. I changed the setting in about:preferences#search to "Add search bar in toolbar." That resulted in adding a 2" search bar to the right of the address bar with a TINY font. VERY difficult to see.

Next in about:config, I switched this to false: "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar ". But, that didn't fix it.

An article on askvg.com said to do the above, but to do it in FF's NIGHTLY. To get the search box to function in the center of the page, will I have to install Firefox Nightly alongside my normal Firefox Release and fix it there? Then will it sync over to my regular FF and fix it? Or, is there another way?

I'm enrolled in multiple classes at teachable.com and they both use my email, however, the classes are VERY different and I need two separate passwords. Firefox said NO. Is there a way to have two passwords using the same email address? I did try to log in when I signed up for the second course and it did not recognize my email address. The sign in process for the first site is slightly different and goes through the instructor's site, and then through teachable.com. My password for the first class is stored on Firefox under teachable...and I've emailed myself the password to the second class until I can resolve this. I thought there would be a comment field or something to differentiate the two courses. Please help. Many thanks!

Anyone know how to stop floating videos on Firefox anyone know how to stop floating videos on Firefox 112.0.1? This just started happening 2 days ago. Dailymail.com is the worst. No problem at all if I use Edge. I do have ghostery but Daily Mail gives popup saying to disable my ad blocker. Strange, because I also have ghostery on Edge. Again, no problem using Edge, just Firefox. Drives me up a wall.

I've used the Autofill addresses feature since discovering it a few years ago. It is/was a great feature.

I maintain only one Autofill address. With the exception of having to correct a typo I made, this single address is the only address I've ever put on file.

I do not and have never maintained any credit card info in the Autofill credit card feature.

At some point in the past year (to 2 years (estimate)), the Autofill address has stopped populating my street address, city, state, zip code and phone number. It seems to be brilliant at populating my name and email address on a web form, but that's where the brilliance ends.

If the form has a second email address field to verify the first email address field, the second email address field is not populated. I realize this non-occurrence might be a feature of the the Autofill feature, but there's no way to tell based on the documentation provided.

Could someone PLEASE take a look at the problem?

All non-Firefox web pages (40+) are in DARK mode. (Black background, etc.). While I used to prefer this, I have found that some websites have information that doesn't show up. So, I need to revert to standard Light Mode for websites. So, I have confirmed on my PC: - Windows 10 settings are set to Light Mode. - Firefox Appearance Settings are set to Light. - Firefox Themes have Light Mode selected and enabled.

The Result: - All my Firefox webpages and Settings, etc., follow the Firefox settings. If I change the Theme, for example, they all follow. - Non-Firefox webpages (40+) do NOT change. With all the above: No impact. They remain Dark, with black backgrounds. Rebooting doesn't change anything.

Somehow, I previously changed a prior computer having the same issue. I don't remember what I discovered (hidden) that did the trick. I remember it wasn't the Theme option. (PLEASE fix this, so that THEMES over-ride).

I have my Firefox accounts Synced (on several computers and phone). Is this a root of my problem?

Please assist.

Thank you.

I've got this weird behavior happening where if my window is closed from maximize, which saves the browser's size, and I open it, it will first open in maximize then size down to the same size.

In other words, Firefox will always open the window to a specific size regardless of what it was when I closed it. This is extremely annoying.

Is this part of resisting fingerprinting? This is some unusual behavior that I haven't seen Firefox do before ever.

I can provide a little video if my explanation wasn't clear.

When I try to sign onto G mail I get redirected URL to YouTube. I do not want to sign onto youtube. I do not have a account with youtube. I started getting this error about 3 months ago. I have used Firefox and Google for ages - no problems. Using Windows 11. No problems signing into Google Mail using Microsoft Edge or Chrome. In windows 11 not using proxy server. " automatically detect settings" in proxy settings is on, found in the proxy settings page.

A error page pops up and I get the following:

The URL of the pop up error message reads:

https://accounts.youtube.com/accounts/SetSID?ssdc=1&sidt=ALWU2csEj2zpnizjrFGU3h9sNBNMtCvG4rtlKGP7g3eJ4xKhQO4U/EOyONt9IXvqALsn1cLSYza0iX7flqtYP4j4 coy5uhbPqr8lAUIs8JsN0K2yQi7pOMoNkOLJ%2B8l6RHdc5J7xKdZ5nveOBcU%2BA77TUTUtVkeujdhp672cGdTPnCCCLXlwFyqu%2Bv9cSY91kSk4kNF1hpoXJjSwdETffFF8Q6iT%2Bj0r xYrzTiO0j7T3rBpuHUp6Cf7RSD9MN3P1aNSTx3s27hhNd5xheyuYS8X0NPbMErMXecXDgT7EsdCi93Z5V4EwWoS70/vrD6Mdt8%2BabAvK0nt6aFdnizKrA3UJFOHH22kS4Zzni0BjikNi24 SXncaLKgs594Ful6g%2BUWYhDGXznFL2437g8tZnw/pL1LMdwRYG/XJx6ZbhmS9G5nBppfnF4dlNb1z4oKQwtnOQucw5MImHn7Dc4ADC2DgZtdMOTVeUvQ%3D%3D& continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/&tcc=1&ifkv=AWnogHfqStXCgyKf8fiIUn0S691FyRlapg4PIo0dOKpR6eiCvsguai0YJ2hX8EkK_h2C3_AjRC4r5w

The error message reads:

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to accounts.youtube.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

accounts.youtube.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely.

You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for accounts.youtube.com.

The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.safezone.mcafee.com, safezone.mcafee.com

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

If I hit the "back" button on the error message Google Mail will open.

Hi, I would like to join the chorus and say that the unified extensions button really needs to be fixed somehow. I can't stand it -- it slows down my workflow and seems like "change for change's sake".

But if you guys are serious that it can't be removed for some reason, then at least PLEASE make the unified extensions thing something that can be expanded horizontally along the toolbar (instead of just being a dropdown list) with preferred / most used extension icons visible in it, so that instead of

>clicking the unified extensions thing >scrolling down to find my extension >right clicking on the extension >choosing the option I want

It will just be

>click on the extension icon in the special unified extension section of the toolbar >the options for the extension pop up and I can choose one JUST LIKE THE OLD WAY THAT WAS EFFICIENT

I wouldn't even be opposed to an entire Extensions Toolbar with super security or whatever built into it. As long as the icons are still conveniently located and accessible!

I have a bunch of extensions that I don't need to interact with regularly, like my adblocker, https everywhere, or the thing to make webpages appear in dark mode. But every time I click the unified extensions thing they're right there at the top of the list. My screenshot extension however (for example), which I use constantly, is somewhere hidden near the bottom of the list, so I'm constantly scrolling down awkwardly looking for it. It used to be one button click to take a screenshot, now it's like five or six clicks and takes around 20+ seconds every time. IT'S VERY BAD USABILITY DESIGN. It might "feel" cleaner or more organized to put everything in a list, but it's not as functional for the end user (in my opinion).

Please reconsider your design of this thing and investigate the possibility of keeping certain extensions visible on the toolbar somehow to remain easily accessible to the user. Hopefully I've been able to explain my concerns to you. Anyway, I still love Firefox on the desktop, but if you guys can fix this that would be great.

My former Mac Air has been stolen. I have a Firefox account and just downloaded it as the browser on my new Mac Air. Is there a way to access saved Bookmarks from my former computer?

Hi. It's hard to see where to enter text on some sites. How do I make text entry boxes easier to identify please?

For example, I had to look hard to figure out that there's a text entry box on the following page around the words Share an Update...

Hi My settings are as Mozilla suggests and I use to let Firefox save some logins. But I cannot save my login on this site: portal.mobilepay.dk No (error) message, no nothing, when logging in I just doesn't get the option to save the login. Both Chrome & MS Edge have no problems here, but when possible I always prefer to use my standard browser Firefox. :)

Any suggestions?

All the best, Henrik DK

The logins that I put manually synchronize with the account between the devices, however, the passwords that i imported from chrome through the .csv file do not sync.

I am using Firefox on a desktop and recently upgraded to 112. I have been trying for the last 6 months to SHORTEN the address bar (NO, I do NOT use Search on Firefox) and cannot find an answer anywhere. I am completely exasperated at all controls Firefox has taken away from users the past few years and this is the final straw before I leave you. PLEASE tell me how to REALLY shorten the god-awful length of the url bar so I can see more addons ON the desktop. Thank you very much.

Rob Davis, a loyal user of Firefox since 2009.

"Instaverse" Program lets scriptures appear after a mouse over in Firefox. Why will it not work since the 112 update and download? Worked all right until updates and downloads after March 22, 2023.

Hello, I was hoping to switch from Chrome to Firefox but I've encountered a problem downloading to Google Drive while using Firefox. I typically switch to Reader View and then Click "Print" from the menu. If I was in Chrome, I would select Save to Google Drive as I have Google Drive on my desktop. Without that option in Firefox, I select Microsoft Print to PDF. I try to select Google Drive as the destination but I get a dialogue box saying that the File is Not Found. I really want to make Firefox my default browser but this may be a deal breaker. I can't find any Firefox add-ons that might provide a solution. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I am using a Windows PC with Windows 10.

Every time I open a video on a website and try and enter fullscreen mode, it never lets me exit fullscreen mode. Then I have to close the entire window. Also, sometimes I have to refresh the page once or twice to even get in to fullscreen mode. Google is only showing me stuff about Firefox fullscreen mode, NOT fullscreen mode for videos, which is the actual problem.
