Firefox Community Forum

Firefox web browser when utilizing its online advertising is attempting to install malware(addons.browse-privately.net [URL:Malvertising]). [P.S. My antivirus is up-to-date!] My Avast Security software catches and stops it. In addition, whenever I start Firefox the session which was saved from previous use opens along with an additional instance briefly. ???

Hi. Mozilla has been my preferred browser since it first came out and up to 3 days ago my use of it has been awesome. But 3 days ago my location started showing as if I lived in Miami instead of Oakland where I actually live. The "problem" is every time I do a search it gives me responses as if I lived in Miami... and i don't.

At the bottom of the page, it says the responses are due to my IP address, so I contacted my internet provider (Comcast) and they tell me my IP address is identified as Oakland, and told me to look else where.

So I am now looking to you. Do you have any thoughts on what the problem might be?

Thanks for any help you might offer. Be well, Joseph

Some how my info is all gone and nothing works including any of help suggestions.

I don't think this is even firefox it is more like msn. I keep downloading Firefox and it crashes. I don't know how to fix any of this. I can't even get to see how firefox has looked since maybe 2001. My upper toolbar is all different. It is all wrong and I can't find my hundreds of book marks are all gone.

I can see maybe 10 bookmarks but not from firefox.

I recently had a computer crash - self inflicted - by mistakenly opting for a total reset when I did not understand what this would result in. A friend has helped me get back to being able to use my computer again, but I have lost all my Firefox browser passwords and my Thunderbird email contact list. Would Firefox have kept this information and be able to give me back my passwords somehow. I am a 87 year old Aussie and not a computer nerd !! Cheers Lozza

Just bought a new iMac. Firefox will not run on it. Any attempts to dump and reload have failed. Apparently the software does not ask for permission to access the network. Is this something that will be fixed soon, maybe it's something to do with Apple? Anyway, should I try to download an older version of Firefox? Firefox is my preferred browser. I don't want to be forced to use another.

See subject line !!! Been working for years. I download lots of information every month with no problem. Tried a few "old" solutions from previous posts to no avail. Please fix for next version. Thank you.

My issue is that the website www.wp.pl looks different in Google Chrome compared to Mozilla Firefox. In Google Chrome, the website appears wider, meaning that there are some articles visible on the sides, while in Mozilla Firefox, they are not visible — only a white background is shown. Of course, I do not have any ad-blocking programs installed in either browser. Why is this happening? I am attaching two screenshots from both browsers.

OK seems mozilla will continue support for firefox 115.20.0esr on my WIN7 machine, but not my 115.20.0esr on my Ubuntu 24.04lts machine after next month - why? (128esr and 135 are both unstable on my laptop's Ubuntu 24.04.2lts for some reason - constantly crashes, freezes up req. cold boot, or just logs me out - pain in the... even after upgrading 2Gb RAM to 4Gb)

OK seems I can upgrade (don't know why they keep calling it 'update') my Ubunut 24.04lts machine's firefox 115.20.0esr to firefox 128.3.0esr, but not on my WIN7 machine -why?

i.e. why does firefox give preferential treatment to WIN7 for 115esr, and preferential treatment to LINUX for 128esr ... why not both OS's on both "esr's"

...makes me go: hmmmmmm ;-\
