Now I know what may be causing it but you offer no solution.

Hey! Hope you're all doing well. This is a request more than a question. Is it possible to include a short notes field in the stored passwords area? Often, the login address for a service/website/account is completely different than the name the the business service/website/account name. And if a user can't remember what the sign-up login link is called, it can be an enormous pain in the memory banks to try to remember what it is or think of a way to find the info.

Is it possible to add a field for notes where users can note details like that? Or does that introduce safety risks?

I just thought I'd put that out there, cause there's nothing more frustrating (maybe) than having to stop when you're on a roll to reconstruct how you access an account. On top of having to send out 2nd verifications to all our devices, set up special all access pins, etc.

Honestly, its getting crazy out here with all the steps it takes into to log into our digital worlds. That one little step, would make accessing our digital lives a sliver more simple. At least for me. I have no idea if anyone else feels this way.

That's my 22-cents (inflation). Hopefully this will make its way into your suggestion box. Thanks!

I believe that Firefox had a recent update which was auto implemented after-which my entire collection of saved passwords disappeared off of my Desktop computer. Over the next couple or more weeks I reconstructed many of the passwords and was heading back to normal. Today, for unknown reason my entire collection of saved passwords have again been erased and I do not know how and assume they are not recoverable so am back to square one. On my home computer I have it set to not allow auto updates and have a Firefox update waiting and hesitate to allow it, expecting the same result there to my saved passwords. Nothing significant has been done to or with my computer in this same time period so am at a loss as to why this happened not just once but now twice with cause unknown (I am unaware of any second Firefox update in the interim which could have caused this but cannot rule this out).

I have started receiving a secure connection failed error message for a portal log-in website that worked fine for the past 6-7 months (see attached document). Other people in my group use Firefox and Bitdefender to access the portal and none of them are having this issue.

I originally believed the problem to be my anti-virus (Bitdefender) and worked with them to resolve the problems. After trying various solutions including clearing my cache, using private mode and turning off different components of their software, Bitdefender believes the problem is with my browser setting and not their software. I also tried accessing the portal using Chrome in both regular and incognito modes and cannot access the site which would seem to rule out the problem being a Firefox browser problem but contacting Firefox support seems to be the next logical step.

I have been to the Firefox FAQ and saw similar problems with potential solutions - DNS over HTTPS, TLSKEYLOGGING issues, add-on exceptions - none of which worked. I have the most recent version of Firefox and am running Windows 11 home version.

Sometimes if I hit refresh after receiving the error message, the browser will try to connect and I will get a server time out message. If I keep hitting "try again", sometimes the portal log-in screen will appear and allow me to log-in. The key word is "sometimes" since often I just keep getting the server time out message.

Any ideas for me to try from this forum?

Firefox keeps ignoring me saying it's fine for x.com and other networks like NewsMax to open and you keep blocking them. If this doesn't stop I will change to some other way to see internet information. I've used Firefox for many years.

Hi,

I've recently discovered the free Mozilla Firefox VPN. I live in Canada and I use it in order to watch anime from a legal French site. However, a few days ago, the list of countries available when I click on « Select Location » was suddenly significantly reduced while I was watching an episode. Now, it only shows very few countries (South Africa, Germany, Argentina, Australia, the United States and Japan). France completely disappeared from the list. I tried to disconnect and reconnect from my account once, and it originally fixed the issue. But then I made the mistake of disconnecting and reconnecting it again (I don't remember why), and now the problem is back again, no matter what I do.

Could you please tell me what should I do in order to get the longer countries list back (and especially the French location)?

Thank you and have a nice day,

My Youtube video stutters every 6-10 seconds. When I turn off my HW acc off, this issue happened. Turning the HW acc on solve it, but the thing is if I have my HW acc on another problem came up, which is my Firefox will starts to blink. Anyone has a solution for this?

Lost my original FF profile when I created a new 2nd profile. Opened FF. clicked profile icon. in drop down menu, I clicked on " create new profile". Set color, skipped most of the rest,then "set default browser to Firefox" using the button in FF dialog box, NOt Windows settings. Found and clicked on box " choose profile at startup". CLosed all instances of FF. Opened FF, box saying choose profile does not show my original profile, only the new one.

Help? I need to get back to my original profile, and keep the new one as choice at startup. How do I do this?

firefox has always been the brower i choose .

but lately firefox is unable to browes or play streams

i tryed all online steps to have it resolfed but still nothing

My desktop Firefox (version 155.0.1) has recently became unable to consistently access the Web site at this Web site this Web site. Chrome successfully accesses the site 100% of the time. Firefox's connection failures are intermittent, unpredictable, and usually go away on their own after varying time intervals (sometimes can't connect for up to 24 hours). I see status messages saying Firefox is trying to connect to the site, but it eventually gives up and times out.

I cleared the Firefox cache, but that had no effect. I don't recall making any significant changes to the Firefox settings lately. Any suggestions on what to look at/try would be greatly appreciated.

(Yes, I know the site doesn't use https: Its protocol is outside my control).

My font on some sites is being forced to this horrible condensed font and it's seemingly nothing to do with my font settings in browser. Thing is, I VAGUELY remember changing a setting SOMEWHERE to actually do this, but it's not the main font setting in accessibility. Furthermore this issue has only started happening in the last day or two and my vague memory of setting my font somewhere was years ago.

Is there any other setting in Firefox that affects default font for certain sites?

For some reason something is blocking my messages to myself. (Parenthetically, I send messages to myself to be able to preserve certain information) After subscribing to bitwarden (which may have been my mistake) I sent a message to my email address. I received the following:

Mail Delivery Subsystem <mailer-daemon@googlemail.com>

Review your blocked sender list

Soo, I went looking for the "blocked sender list" And the instructions are as follows:

Important: If you can’t find the sender’s message, you can unblock them from your Gmail settings.

   On your computer, open Gmail.
   At the top right, open Settings settings.
   Click See all settings.
   At the top, click Filters and Blocked Addresses.
   Optional: To unblock, you can:
       Check the box next to each sender.
       Click Unblock selected addresses.

However, after opening Settings, I saw no "all settings" There was mo Filters and Blocked Addresses at the top

Soo, where are the Filters and Blocked Addresses, me asks? Win 11 on a Maingear MG-1 Firefox; Gmail
