When I use a vpn with firefox (not the firefox vpn), I cannot open normally blocked websites such as twitter or youtube, and instead they open in a sort of half-loaded state (see image). I don't face this problem with other browsers. I have tried deleting and reinstalling firefox, but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help out?

First, here's my system: I am running the lastest Mac OS, the latest version of Firefox, and the latest version of Alfred. Firefox is set as my default browser.

I use Alfred for searches on DuckDuckGo, and I use Firefox as my browser to get results to those queries.

This problem just started happening:

If Firefox is not currently open on my computer and I type in a search query on Alfred (which should return the result of that query in the browser), Firefox just shows me a blank page. It's as if I didn't search anything at all. Then, I need to re-do my search.

To test if it was Alfred that was the problem, I changed my default broswer to Safari, and it worked perfectly. I downloaded DuckDuckGo's browser, and the same process worked there too. Alfred is not to blame here. I'm baffled.

I have checked and rechecked my Firefox settings. I can't seem to figure out what's going on. Anbody have a clue what's going on?

Thank you!

Using Nord Pass extension on Mozilla fine until today, when clicking on the green icon for stored username and password, this appears - "sudden error message : can't handle ITEM/URL_SEARCH type message"

Hi, Is there any way I can view contents of a previously closed webpage? I got an estimate for a health procedure, but did not take a screenshot. Now when I go back via link (provided to me in email) to view the estimate, it's no longer there. Thank you!

Further to my request this week, where Ididn't reach the right forum.

I searched in Firefox help and found nothing.

Problem: How do I enable javascript

Give the tech steps.

Thanks in advance.

Why does my tool bar disappear after typing in website in search bar? Book marks appear when I open a new window, however as soon as I type something in the search bar or click on a website the book marks disappear. I have to open a new window for them to reappear again. I didn't change any settings, it happened on it's own. I've added a screen shot for when I open a new window (book marks appear) and a screen shot for when I've typed something in the search bar (book marks disappear). Thank you!

Dear Community,

To be completely honest, I was redirected to this form for this issue after it was posting in the discussion forum too many times about this.

The problem: Firefox has the behavior to download an update and force me to restart my browser

The issue: Next to the fact this is a very obtrusive behavior (or simply...not polite) it is in fact messing up my workflow and mood.

Why important? (at least according to me): First workflow: Using a lot of active connections / 2FA logins in combination with a secure setup where my browser doesn't remember a lot after restarting for security reasons, I need to perform multiple logins again while working with online services. It messes up my worflow, negatively affecting productivity. Also, it generates awkward situations when being in an online meeting, sharing a screen and this happens... unwillingly, unknowingly and just untimely. Updates are irregular and often (which is a great thing it itself!)

And that brings me to the point of mood. Less important -yes- my mood to anyone really I know. It is just a big frustration. I have been using FF since the Netscape days, always advocating for this browser, showing others, helping other to use and see the benefits... And this feels (note it is emotion) like a bad pay back for all those years. Several occassions I just used Safari and it just seems easier. But..I want FF, for its belief, how it was setup and its security and privacy.

I know there are more people that experience this issue.

Please let me know. // Is this issue known to you? // Does it have any priority? Is there a solution being generated? // I have tried things, nothing worked. Willing to try, but please don't come with the right 'settings' ... believe me I have tried. The only options seems to be to completely disable the updating process in the about:config page... but that seems unwise. What do I miss?

Please advice, so I don't get to see the page as in the attachment.

Best Regards,

I am on Firefox Developer Edition 120.0b9 (64-bit macOS). Using sites like whatismyip and whatismyipaddress, I am seeing that I have a VPN or Proxy enabled. When I use Chrome, I don't see this. I went through all the settings and turned off anything that could even remotely be related, and still get the same results. Does Firefox have a built in VPN that I am unaware of? Is there a way to turn it off?

For some reason my Firefox on my Mac and Windows computer won't sync even though I am using the same account. I would like my Mac to look the same as my Windows computer. I have tried logging in and logging out on both, all the basic fixes but nothing has helped.

Thanks.

Two months I posted about [[this problem|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] on Reddit where I close out of Reddit post drafts before hitting post and I can't recover them. I still have this problem and I accidentally closed out a tab last night. Fortunately on that post I got a [[suggestion|https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wzzgkm/comment/im7ibld/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3]] to use the [[Form History Control extension|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] which I tested and works well, but ideally I would like a way for Firefox to ask me before closing Reddit tabs (and other websites) with unsaved changes.

Every time I install an extension, FireFox asks me if I want to "allow this extension to run in private windows?" The answer is YES, the answer has always been yes, and it always WILL BE YES, so how do I set it to default on yes?

I also need an extension to block DEVELOPER POP-UP windows from newly installed or updated extensions. I have 4 pop-up blockers installed, but they all seem to bypass it.

Cannot prevent intrusive unwanted video on some pages; notably, CTV.ca which has an annoying widget which autoplays constantly and blockers are not effective, neither is video.autoplay.default=5 That USED to be the default no-fail go-to, now it has no effect whatsoever and I'm stymied in my attempts to block this stuff. What's next? How do i do this?

This is getting be a more and more common message on CBC.CA -- click on a story, go there, it processes for a few moments, then posts THAT! Chrome doesn't do it but I'm having pw issues with chrome and would much rather stick with FF, so can this be fixed?! What's wrong, what's causing it? I'm using ad blockers but they don't seem to be the problem and I'm at my wits' end. I have no patience for this kind of bullshit, especially when everything always worked before this started happening. Typically it's about five stories out of the twenty-five or so offerings on the page but I'm sick of messing around with it, having to close the tab, go to something else and hope IT doesn't break! Is there a fix? I don't don't know to diagnose this stuff; I'm not a geek, I'm a user. I have SOME skills but not this. Is this FF or is this CBC?!

Try it: website is cbc,ca , just click on some stories and see if they hold. If they do for you then it's my FF.

I need to disable this horrible translator that is now showing up on top of every page I visit, It keeps showing up even after choosing a translation or disabling translations for that language. That is probably a bug, but I don't want to wait for a fix, I need to be able to see the pages I visit completely, this thing prevents me from clicking buttons and and is really anoying.

This is the built-in translation feature since I do not use any translation plugins, and started showing up after an upgrade.

Hi. I have about 15 home pages set to open when I open Firefox. I read the news, catch up on a few sites and have various jobs and tasks to complete. But whenn I've don all that, and close down Firefox, each time I open Firefox again to search for something etc, all 15 of my startup pages open up and I have to manually close them all down.

On Windows 11, all I need to do it right click the firefox icon and select open new tab. This is great, it opens Firefox with just a single new tab open. But on my iMac, this option is missing.

How can I re-open firefox with just a blank tab - or even just one specific page like Google?

Hello, I have tried all the results I have found here for fixing this issue and it still happens on a fully patched Mac. Also, unable to use the restore function as gives me the 'Unable to process the backup file' and it does not allow me to import a html backup file. I've also fully uninstalled and re-installed many times which result with the same problem. I've had this happen many dozens of times. This started happening maybe few months two ago.

Thanks
