Firefox Community Forum

so i updated firefox after 2 years of not updating it and now i have a annoyance to my eyes

before my update i would click on the search on the toolbar and either type out my search and hit enter or that i would just hit enter and go straight to google/ amazon/ blah blah what ever i had it set at the time.

after updating firefox i now have a annoying pop up that pulls up recent search in said search function of the toolbar. i have tried going into the options and every thing is turned off in the "search suggestions". i have looked into the about:config because after the update firefox started suggesting on my URL bar my recent viewed pages and bookmarks which always hated that function and had to turn it off again.

yet i cannot find a away to turn off the recent search. and sometimes it even tried to suggest places / recent events in the search toolbar.

also that clicking the search toolbar and just hitting enter no longer takes me directly to the search engine... it just does nothing now unless if i type something in.

any way of fixing this? or am i just going to have to jury rig using a old firefox again?

The most recent update to Firefox, on each of our four Windows 10 systems, has a new glitch when printing PDF files. The particular files we're trying to print are in LEGAL SIZE format, and Firefox is compressing the text into a size that only uses half the page. This is true whether or not we select LEGAL SIZE in the printing interface, and regardless of the "Scale" setting. We had to switch over to printing these files with Adobe Acrobat, which worked fine.

Until three days ago I could access Counter Social via Firebox. Suddenly it's just not working. What is to be done about this? I can access CS on Edge without problems. I don't want to use Edge.

When I click on a Google Books search result, I used to read it in Firefox. Now it is impossible, since a recent update. But I can do it in other browsers. The suggested May 2023 solution doesn't work for me.

This is the error page I get: "To protect your security, books.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Opening in a new window doesn't solve the problem.

Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

I recently updated to v130. I'm having the same problem that so many others have, "Firefox already running, close Firefox". After updating to v130 I had to go to Task Manager and delete 19 Firefox running. It's only been a few days ago and I checked Task Manager today and deleted another 13. After updating to v130 many of my add-ons are showing up in the Menu Bar. I have used Add-ons Manager to drag and drop, but it doesn't work. I have specific bookmarks that should be in the "Bookmarks" section" but they are also showing up in the Menu Bar. I had to re-select my screen choice because it had disappeared. I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine and in the past I was able to choose a separate search bar, but that too has disappeared and I cannot seem to fix it in settings. So many problems after updates, but this one seems very bad. I use Windows 10 on my desktop PC

Please Help, Rhonda

Hello, I can't restore my Firefox bookmarks, I made the mistake to update my Firefox blindly, as always, but it ruined-erased all my bookmarks, where did my hard work ended?, if I ever fix my bookmarks I will never do another update. I'm 77 and not able to follow your instructions; I wished I could restore all my bookmarks, now I wish I knew how to get some back, even if I have to do it one by one! Why there is no chat tool? maybe that way you could guide me better? Have a heart, please?

i've had recent cause to reset my 2017 iMac running OS 13 back to factory settings. this has cause all kinds of problems, and now i need to set up a new user account. i identified the relevant profile, and copied it to the new user account. i then opened Firefox and typed "about:profiles", and the new profile is not in the list, even though it's in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/.

i tried compressing it before copying it, but that made no difference. i've tried logging out, restarting, and switching on and off again.

so i'm stuck in between two users, one with all my data, and the other with Firefox (and possibly Thunderbird, haven't even tried that yet). this makes life unbelievably difficult.

i really need my Firefox profile back. desperately hoping someone can help.

thanks for reading.

When I try to upload a file with Firefox to a site (IO Groups) using HTTPS, almost every time the upload fails after about 65 seconds. I just tried MS Edge and found the files upload fine, even if they last 10 minutes or more. Is there a Firefox setting I can change to prevent this timeout?

More: I am using Windows Firefox v130.0, but this has been going on for months, so it's not just a problem with v130. I have timed the uploads as best I can, and it is always around 65 seconds, give or take a second or two. Less than 60 seconds means the uploads always succeed.

I am trying to access a live online webinar through Firefox which I usually use for webinars and some other things.( I have an older Apple computer and also use Safari). I try to access Summiteducation.com and when I click "Access course" an insecure connection warning comes up and I can't access. Can you help me? asap?Can you call me? Thanks for your help!

I receive a daily email from the Toronto Star with brief summaries of current news stories. The summaries include a link that opens the complete article in Firefox (or other browsers).

When I open the full article in Firefox, the article stops at an advertisement (which does not display). The ad includes the wording "Story continues below", but it does not; instead it goes to the end of the article.

When I open the same article in Chrome, the article opens properly.

I am attaching screen shots of the two browsers. I tried manually collecting the Data as well, but it extends to 80 p. I can save it in Word, then convert to a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat, but I cannot convert the file to a .JPEG and attach it. I am happy to send a copy of the Word file; just ask

I have six windows that I use the most. Sometimes I open more windows, but before quitting Firefox, I close windows that are outside of the first six. But if I don’t close the additional windows, the next time I open Firefox, they are all the same position as they were when I closed Firefox.

And that is good.

The problem is, with the taskbar locked, while using Firefox and using Windows the way it’s intended- opening, closing and switching different windows as I need them, the six windows in Firefox switch positions. The windows shift positions so that 6 is 5 and 5 is 6 and 3 is 2 and 1 is 3 and so on. It’s all random.

So why do the windows shift positions?

It is a hassle to have to keep lining them up again and again throughout the day, so that they are always in the right place so that I don’t have to click each taskbar item to find out which window it is. If they remain in the correct order, I have no trouble or wasted time looking for the window I need to use.

The shifting Firefox windows at random is the problem. That is what this inquiry is about.

Here is a temporary fix without having to set them all up from scratch. It takes a few manipulations, but still better than remembering all the tabs in each window then opening each window and tab one at a time in the order I prefer them to be in. I use an addon called Tab Session Manager. This is not an advertisement for the addon. It is necessary to mention it in case others have the same “switching” windows problems. The addon allows you to save each window, then open each of the saved windows in the proper order.

The things I’m trying to get an answer to, are the following questions:

1. Why do the Firefox windows switch positions? 2. And how do I stop it from happening again?

Any help or direction will be appreciated. Thanks.

Browsing works well on my Ubuntu/Linux 22.04.5 laptop except one site. Images are not loading. I can see it has js-errors which might be related. And that may be because some js files are being blocked. The site does work on my iphone though. And using Browserstack I can see it works with other OS.

The site is: knowledgecottonapparel . com

I've verified that others using Linux has the same issue, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1526728/issue-with-specific-site

So, today i opened up my firefox and loaded up youtube; it didn't load. I tried to check my wifi speed on speedtest by ookla...the website didnt work. Then i went to reddit to see if this was a bug affecting everyone anddd that also did not work. So, basically half of the websites that i use do not work right now and i can't figure out why. Everything was fine till yestderday and i havent changed any settings. Also, Wifi speed is not the problem here as i opened up ms edge and everything works.

Please help! Here's a reference image of how websites look ( imgur ) Funnily enough, imgur also did not work of mozilla.

Dear Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to bring to your attention an unusual issue I have been experiencing with the Firefox browser. Each time I close Firefox, I am required to log in again to the "Bale" messenger upon reopening the browser, as my login credentials are not retained for future sessions.

I would like to highlight the following points for your consideration:

1. This issue is specific to the Bale messenger and does not occur on other websites. 2. The problem persists across all of my devices, including my work computer, home PC, and laptop. 3. The issue does not arise when I am not logged into my Firefox account. In fact, Bale messenger works perfectly on my friends' Firefox browsers, where there is no need for repeated logins after closing the browser.

4. I have already reviewed the "Cookies and Site Data" settings (see the attached image).

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, Mostafa
