Dear All,

I need to uninstall Firefox silently from several computers, due to company restrictions. Uninstall must be silent (automatic), because I push the uninstall from Microsoft InTune.

At this stage, using "-ms" or "/S", I can bypass the normal uninstaller prompt, but I still get a Windows warning (from User Access Control), asking autorisation to perform changes on the device.

Can I bypass this prompt as well, so that the uninstall is indeed automatic and silent?

Alternatively do you know of means to modify this at Windows level?

Many thanks!

How come when you add some features in firefox updates, they are not removable for me?!? I am talking about the "extensions" tab and the "list all tabs". Some people might want them for their use but I dont. I should have the option to remove them at my leisure. I dont like this at all that I cant make that decision. Please fix. Thank you.

I worked for a lot of time of some splendid webgl animation on a laptop gbl file in threejs that renders a video on screen texture and it worked fine untill firefox did some updates and videos in laptop screen is glitchy, if i disable hardware acceleration it works, BUT firefox comes with it enabled by default and when clients come into my page see that ugly effect of the video, AND no there is not video drivers problem, my drivers are the latest and i tryed on different devices same thing, i thought that there are some problems with my domain checked and triple checked and no, with an older version of firefox it works perfectly, i tryed looking on other people webgl with video on it to see maybe i have a problem on my code and its same thing, no cors problems, drivers, or how video is coded, i loved firefox im using it for years but now i hate it so much cause it ruined months of work

fellas my Firefox extensions wont show the drop down menu anymore it just opens a new page/tab. but on my laptop i can select the extensions for example i can open a new container with the container extension on my laptop but not on my PC

For the past month or so, when I'm on google.com, using the search bar on the page does not work with Firefox. If I use the URL area on the browser, it does work. I don't have any ad blockers.

Firefox keeps rerouting any attempt to be brought to the google sign-in page, sending me to https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en . Even on the page itself, where the sign-in button is evident, it reroutes to itself on click.

This is only occurring on Firefox, and very specifically in the normal browser. The private browser works perfectly fine, Edge works fine, etc. This issue persists in Troubleshoot mode.

Noticed earlier today that after a Firefox update two icons appeared on the taskbar. Now I'm finding that whenever I try open Firefox from the taskbar it doesn't remember my previous session and looks as if I've signed out, Firefox behaves normally if I launch from the start menu.

I'm using Firefox Browser Windows MSIX package, mozzilla-MSIX - 1.0 v1.3.1.0 (64-bit). On Windows 11 Pro v23H2 build 22631.4169.

Hi - after a Firefox update today, I no longer seem to be able to access a sign-in page for any of my Google accounts. When I try to log into Google, I'm just brought to a page that says "clear cache and cookies." I've cleared my cache multiple times, restarted Firefox, run troubleshoot mode, restarted my computer - none of this has helped. Every time I try to go to a page to sign into any Google app - Drive, Gmail, etc. - I get taken to the same "Google Help Center" page telling me to clear cache and cookies. When I click on the "sign in" button in the corner of this page, it just brings me back to the same help page.

My Google accounts aren't the problem because I can access them from Chrome or Safari. But I don't want to use Chrome or Safari!

I've never encountered anything like this before. Help?

Hi,

I have a Mac with Sonoma. Somehow a while ago I ended up with Firefox ESR, which I was told that will not be supported after September.

I am a non-technical user. While I do have Safari and Chrome, I would prefer to continue using Firefox.

Could you please let me know the steps to execute to somehow switch from the ESR version to the current normal version without loosing settings, bookmarks or ending up with problems? Thanks in advance.

Is it normal that Firefox is trying to load the dll related to the Windows Credential Manager (vaultcli.dll)

"firefox.exe loaded module vaultcli.dll"

If so, what's the purpose of this interaction?

From the looks of it, Firefox is trying to access locally stored credentials using the Credentials Management API.

I just updated Firefox on my Mac. Subsequently when I tried to restart Firefox the OS thinks a copy is already running in a display and closes startup request down. I am unable to use Firefox at all at the moment. Can this be fixed? Cheers John Spitzer

Hi, I cannot upload files to any website. For example if I hit add attachment to an email which is open on Mozilla nothing happens. It's the same if I try to upload a resume or a photo for example. I can drag and drop files to upload but some websites don't have that option. I have disabled the pop up blocker and nothing changed. It was the same when I was using chrome and I transferred the data and settings over. Could someone please advise?

Hello,

I have discovered a reproducible issue pertaining to audio and video desyncing that I have tested on youtube, prime video, and netflix.

I am utilizing Windows 11 Home on an HP Envy Laptop. The bluetooth audio device I am using are the Galaxy Buds FE.

Audio desyncs from video playback when pausing a video (either by clicking pause, using the keyboard to press pause, or by pausing using the earbud touchpad). I noticed that with my desktop computer and my Samsung S22 Ultra phone, when pausing and unpausing a video, the video player has a brief buffering period to auto-sync the audio to the video; however, this is not occurring with the laptop and it causes the audio and video to desync.

Any help you could provide with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am running Firefox ver. 131. The program constantly increases the amount of memory it uses. Task manager shows 14 processes running under Firefox, it also shows a green leaf Efficiency icon next to it. I am using an HP Victus laptop with a Ryzen 5 cpu and 8 Gb of ram. The program will continue to use more memory until it locks up the system and I have to use Task Manager to restart . I don't know how to solve this. It is a new development which may be associated with the 131 update. Please help.

Opening Firefox tells me that a Secure Connection has failed. The error code is PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR. You have been unable to locate the account I have been using for many years so I have just opened a new account. Can you please arrange a reset so that I can once again use Firefox as my preferred browser.

I have 2 rows of Shortcuts selected & I can see the "Shortcut Icon or Favicon", however one of them is still showing an old one for a website & I know that the site actually have a new Favicon displayed. Why am I still seeing the old one? Is there a way to refresh my page so I see the new one? Any help greatly appreciated.

Mozilla Update appears to have a bug. I have several Windows 10 or 11 PCs with Firefox, and nearly all have the same problem. My event log is loaded with Event ID 16398, saying "A new BITS job could not be created." When I run the Get-BitTransfer command, I see the queue is filled with MozillaUpdate transfers. I have to execute "Get-BitsTransfer | Remove-BitsTransfer" to clear them out.

I can't find anything on the web to stop this, or even acknowledge it is happening to others.
