Firefox Community Forum

Hi all. I recently did a manual clear of cookies and afterwards, I've seen two strange issues pop up.

The first was while I was booking hotels on Expedia, it would not allow me to complete the booking where earlier in the same day it did. It would simply do nothing when I clicked the final button. I swapped over to chrome and it worked totally fine, so it was not the sites issue.

The other is in images. I will do an image search, and typically on the big wall of thumbnails, if you click one, it will have a preview of the image at a larger size and the link to the source site, but now it does nothing if I click the image, and I have to right click and opening in new tab to use the image to go to the site. This can be temporarily fixed by clicking the padlock in the address bar, clearing cookies on the site and reloading, but then as soon as I do a new image search, it's back to the unresponsive clicks.

I have ublock origins plugin and Malwarebytes browser guard running,but have never had an issue due to those before and made no changes with them. Embedded video still works totally fine, it's only online purchases and image search that I've seen problems.

I have cleared cookies manually before without this issue. I have refreshed the installation and it has not fixed it. I'm really not sure what got knocked loose, but I am sure that is when things got weird on me.

With the recent Firefox update to my MSI 64-bit Windows 11 laptop I added the Dark theme extension and enabled it. Now my task bar, tab bar, bookmarks, and all the other previous customization is gone! I cannot access Settings or Menu or anything that will let me customize the home page. Is this a problem with the dark theme or with the Firefox update? How can I fix this?

'Every time' I'm on a webpage I get that question if I want to have this page translated into German.

PLEASE - How can I deactive this !!!

I accidentally blocked a web site that I need. I have followed all of the instructions to unblock (creating a master password, etc) but it does not work. I need to get this site unblocked as soon as possible.

Is there a way to show bookmarks on particular sites without showing them all the time?

My use case is that I have a plugin's url set as my home page and new tab page and would like to be able to see my bookmarks when I open a new tab but not when I'm on other tabs.

Bonus question; is there a way to have my new tabs open to that plugin's url but also have the url bar empty for browsing?

Thanks in advance for any help with either of these I imagine specific questions.

I found old posts about this from 2012 or so, but nothing for current version of Firefox I have been using Firefox for years. This has suddenly started happening on my laptop. Annoyingly it also displays the same configuration pop-up with various screens you have to go through, clicking Skip this step before you can start browsing. I reset the Home Page to my preference. But next time I start Firefox it reverts to the Welcome and forgets all settings.

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

I always shut down my PC (Windows 11) while Firefox is open, and it reopens automatically when I turn it back on. However, the settings and the layout are reset.

I tried closing the browser normally via the Close button, but the issue persists.

I tried killing the process via Task Manager, but the issue persists.

I'm not opted into Firefox Studies.

I use quite a few extensions and also Container Tabs. I tried disabling all extensions, but the issue persists.

I just can't disable Container Tabs to test because I would lose too many tabs. Could Container Tabs be the issue?

Are the captions being generated in firefox. I've never had this happen before.The captions are unrelated with I'm doing and are very distracting . Please tell mr how to discontinue them. Thank You

I am using a Hammerspoon on MacOs to do my window management. This allows me to move windows around to different areas and monitors using my own hotkeys. For all other applications, this works perfectly. Windows move to the target area/screen instantly when I press a hotkey. However, Firefox always needs some "encouragement". On every key-press, it moves towards the desired location & size, but never gets there in one go.

After some googling, I recently found another question on this forum that seemed to fix the problem. It is this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438695

By setting `ui.prefersReducedMotion` to 1, Firefox stops its animation-stuff and does exactly what is expected when the windowmanager gives the window a series of `(x, y, w, h)` instructions. So, that seemed like the fix I needed.

But... I typically don't reboot my mac for weeks on end and I noticed that after "some time", Firefox reverts back to its old behaviour. I have not yet figured out if there is a minimum amount of time before this happens, or if it has something to do with locking/unlocking my mac. At the moment the only way to fix it again is to restart Firefox.

I know reducing animations in MacOS' accessibility-settings probably fixes it for good, but that is not what I want. That would remove _all_ animations from all of the apps and the OS. How can I help investigate this?

On my opening Firefox page there is a header " Your browser is being managed by your organisation". I am an individual and have no organisation. I am having problems with Ancestry which they have directed back to my browser. This is this last thing (I think) that I do not understand. Any ideas most welcome please.
