ChatGPT will not open in Firefox I have cleared caches etc checked for updates. However i can open on my iPhone using Safari and then I downloaded Chrome and can access via Chrome so this leads me to assume that the issue is with Firefox!! Please advise.

If mozila Firefox is unlocked with a master password & we continue browsing , will passwords be still safe & secured by firefox protection during that browsing session ?

Hi. I have various folders, for different businesses.. And when browsing I need to save a certain website for both businesses, like a trade show for example. But a bookmark can only be saved in one folder. I refuse to belive this is a thing in 2024.. Is there a solution? A hack? I know if I click on a different page of a webiste it will save, but some pages only have one page url.. I thought maybe changing the name of the bookmark might work but it doesn't. Any help appreciated.

Used to be my Homepage was set to Yahoo.com as my Firefox browser. Lately after putting my computer to sleep and I wake up the computer and click on the Firefox Icon on my desktop it wakes up with Hong Kong Yahoo web page and everything is in Chinese. My Windows region is set to the U.S. and Canada, and the Time zone to central mountain time. Nothing has changed there. There are no new favorites, I cleared the history and the cache, and now I get nothing BUT Hong Kong Yahoo and everything is in Chinese when I want to go to Yahoo to log into my mail account. I have now switched to microsoft Edge to get my mail, and will soon dump Firefox if I can migrate my favorites to Edge and this problem persists.

i need to restore my email system ... I use aol currently I am not getting emails I really need from 2 companies in particular Redfin and Zillow. I am looking for a house please help me.

Today I manually download and rename the firefox executable so a script that runs as a Sandbox is spun up is ready to go immediately. But that entails me manually downloading, then renaming the installer to a name that the script always knows. And often the setup file gets updated on the web and I am running the prior version, or older depending on when I went thru that manual process.

So I am back looking for a way to either find a way to download the newest installer each time or find a way to kick off the internal updater right after its currently scripted install completes. Either could work.

I hate having to use Edge as its the browser MS automatically installs when a sandbox is spun up.

Or are there other ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Bill

My email inbox show no emails in it. My I phone shows over 8000 emails in my email account. In the old Firefox page, all my emails are there on my computer, but not in the new . How do I get all my emails into the new Firefox email inbox? Thank you.

I was working in Firefox for windows with several tabs open. After a computer restart, my Firefox browser reopened but none of my (many) tabs would reload. I closed Firefox and attempted to restart it by using the "restore previous tabs" function. Instead of opening, I received a small window pop up with error message about "older versions of Firefox yada yada" with two option: create new profile or Exit. I click exit (which closed the window) and tried restarting Firefox again, but received the same error. This time I selected the create new profile button. Firefox relaunched but, not only did the "restore previous tabs" option disappear, my browser history was completely wiped. Is there any way to recover my tabs/previous session?

Thank you, Justin

Hi,\

Over the past week or so, my homepage refreshes intermittently and all of the time when I close tab. When I am on my homepage to read (MSN), I typically use the right click command to open the links in a new tab so I can keep the article in the homepage there. Every time I close the news tabs, the homepage refreshes. If I am just sitting on the homepage for few minutes, it auto-refreshes.

This does not happen on Edge or Chromium and I have been back to Firefox because I want more control over not having AI functions and Chromium still has serious limitations. But this is annoying. I have tried changing as many of the relevant settings in about:config that I could find to no avail. My PC an All-in-One 6 core Ryzen 7 with 16GB of RAM, which is far more than enough to handle the memory hog Firefox is (sometimes it eats nearly 2 gigs).

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tom

Tried resetting password, which system confirms, but when I try to sned a message the password is not accepted A message appears thus :- Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server mail.plus.net responded: Mate, the command must be one of CAPA, USER, PASS or QUIT I do not understand what this means.

Another message can appear :- Sending of the message failed.

Firefox was corrupted during a windows update. I can't access anything, passwords, bookmarks ,nothing. I didn't create new Firefox account because it said I would lose all of that info. How do I get it back, this is a nightmare.

I have a local webpage on my home network (Raspberry Pi) that I load all the time on my mac laptop using Safari and/or Firefox.

When opening this local webpage earlier this week in Firefox, some message came up which I didn't read and blindly clicked OK. Now the local page will not load ("We can’t connect to the server at webpage.local.").

I does still load in safari. And it does load using FireFox on my iphone (I use SYNC). So I somehow messed up my desktop firefox.

Searched online and have tried all sorts of things with no success (refresh Firefox, re-install, clear cache, etc).

Any suggestions on fixing this would be appreciated.

Уважаемые разработчики. Операционная система Windows 10. Я сегодня на своем ПК обнаружил проблемы совметимости браузера Firefox. Кнопка "Меню" в браузере не работает при нажатии. Пробовал перезапускать браузер без дополнений - не помогло. Помогите мне пожалуйста разрешить эту проблему.

Having trouble interconnecting between two different BMO sites. Account on one site is "linked" to the other site, but when I click on the linked account I always get an error page. Checking in settings, could this be caused by the "cross site cookies"? (I usually "forget" cookies on a regular basis, so maybe not?)

Firefox will not let me login to my Lowes.com or Hulu.com accounts. Enter UID and PW, then click login button and nothing. Both work fine on Chrome. Have cleared data for both sites. These both happened just recently. A week ago both worked fine.

Hi - have been having an issue since 128 where I can't select items in certain menus in Firefox with the mouse. Each time I open Firefox, it works once. Subsequently, the focus in the menu is completely off from where I put my mouse, and I can't click anything. (I would upload a video, but there doesn't seem to be a way). An example of the behavior is: -hamburger menu open. Mouse is on 'Translate page', but focus is on 'save page as'.

• This happens with both the trackpad and the mouse.
• I don't experience this issue with other applications.
• I can navigate some of the menu options with the keyboard. For example, in the Bookmark menu I can select Save, but not Remove bookmark.
• I don't have any issue with the main nav bar (File, Edit, etc)

This applies to for example: Save bookmarks (cmd+d), Hamburger Menu, and the new Translation dialog (where it prompts you to translate). I can't inspect them to see if they are all the same component that is causing the issue, because they disappear if you choose Inspect. (I'm unable to see a "Disable popup autohide" setting in my meatball menu, as described here). I also tried the steps listed [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../957538] here. Things I have tried:

• resetting PRAM/SMC just in case
• disabling hardware acceleration
• starting in safe mode
• refreshing Firefox
• updating to the latest version (twice)

I had dark mode enabled with a theme, the same theme I use on another computer, but on this computer it was making a lot of web pages dark too which is incredibly annoying and hard to read. I changed the theme on this computer to a light theme and the tabs/upper bar turned light but web pages are still dark so I'm not sure how to stop it. My computer is in light mode as well.

Disabling either the "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" or the "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" options under the Privacy & Security settings page break all of my homelab SSL certificates using Let's Encrypt and breaks the tab/card preview functionality. The only way for these to work is to leave both options enabled. Disabling either one breaks both of those.

When they are disabled the card preview just doesn't work. The Let's Encrypt-backed self-hosted services are a bit different. I get a warning that the pages are insecure, and if I click the Advanced button to continue (sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not) I get looped back to the same insecure page with no way to accept or proceed.

Things I've tried: - Disabled all Add-Ons - Deleted/reverted all modified settings in about:config - Firefox Refresh - Uninstalled/cleared cache directories/reinstalled - Deleted my whole Mozilla account and recreated, thinking it was a bad setting being synced

This is not an issue on Firefox for Android seemingly. This started on my laptop first a few weeks ago, I don't remember changing either of those privacy settings at the time but I may have.
