Firefox — Fora społeczności

I get this dozens of times in a session. As far as I can tell it doesn't affect performance. I found a solution about using notification-daemon for Ubuntu from 4 years ago that doesn't apply to Slackware. I like to eliminate error reports. I don't even know what this means. Knowing would be great, even if I can't stop it. Just eliminating the error report, if it's harmless, would be nice.

Using the Mozilla VPN, I select a location in the USA. After a few hours, my public IP address / location will be different than what I selected in the VPN app; for example, I select "San Francisco, CA" in the VPN, and a few hours later my email sign-in location (or using mylocation.org) is somewhere in India - that's not even in the list of locations we can select for the VPN. Is my VPN being hacked? I'm using Windows 11 with the latest update and the built-in Windows Security. On my android phone, the VPN location shows as 'Starkville, TN', which is also not on the VPN location select list.

I use Win10 Firefox 153.0 x64 on my laptop, and any time I select a menu, the background is transparent, so I can't see the actual menu options, I have to guess what they say when selecting them. Please either fix this, or tell me how to fix this.

I've uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and cleared the cache. And it's still either not linking to certain sites at all or not, opening them correctly or completely. I don't wanna spend any more time than necessary on this since i've tried various ways to fix the issue.. If you can help me, that would be great. I guess I could use chrome, but I have used firefox for years.And as a rule, haven't had any problems up until now.

I have Windows 11 operating system on my Laptop, but when I order merchandise online via Paypal, I get notification stating my device was recognized and was using Windows 10! I don't understand why this is happening. How do I fix this?

Since last two updates, I noted I can't click on the URL field or any icons next to each other two versions ago. I changed the Bluetooth mouse to a lined mouse, then it went OK. But with the latest update, again, the same symptom occured and persists: I am on MacBookPro, so I manage to Command+any command key.

How can I restore and click on URL field, copy URL, or reload the URL address again? OF course, I need to use other icons for each function.

can not resolve repeated problem : "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." Cánt not find "Refresh"

Near Firefox. Why does Firefox's built-in translator always write “Near” in front of all opening sentences? It's very annoying to look at. Have you considered using AI? DeepL is great for translating. It translates not only the words, but also the culture.

Youtube just does not run well on the firefox browser, I have had this issue on my pc, as well as my laptop. Twitch, piracy streaming sites, 9anime all work fine this problem with loading and buffering is exclusive to youtube. I have tried resetting my firefox settings, changing the values for load times and resource usage in about:config and none of these have fixed my youtube.I have tried multiple fixes I've been recommenced by online forms. I have switched my user agent to make youtube think I am using chrome, I have disabled and removed all of my extensions including ublock origin, and loading youtube remains painfully slow. In fact, disabling adblock makes the load times even slower.

Also responding to my post with "hmmm durrr it works just fine for me" does not help anybody, stfu.

"The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can caused this problem".

How do I resolve this problem?

For some reason text rendered in canvases (used by Minecraft hostings to display console) is distorted. I'm not getting this behavior in other browsers (including Zen – Firefox fork). The issue persists in both stable and nightly versions, with and without hardware acceleration, in safe mode too. Any clues?

Firefox recently sent out its monthly newsletter (Oct '25) with all sorts of options that can be enabled on Firefox. I'm a computer illiterate & foolishly chose some of the options -- don't remember which nor know how to discover them.

Now javascript is no longer enabled on my MacBook Air (macOs Big Sur 11.7.10). I cannot access my protonmail account and many many other sites.

I've gone cross-eyed accessing "fixes" that are labelled "only for advanced users" & am bright enough to not even try.

Is there a simple fix (short of wiping my computer -- with data going back 11 years) that even I can do?
