I am developing an Angular App which uses a web-socket for backend communication. Interestingly, whenever I open the app in firefox (localhost:4200) the navigation bar breaks. I can't change the URL manually anymore, but every time I submit a changed URL it first redirects to the specified page but then immediately overwrites the navigation with the previous URL.

Example:

1. Call http://localhost:4200/
2. Sometimes the first additional navigation works, but afterwards all manual changes using the address bar will result in the behavior shown in the below image.

Steps I have taken to narrow down the error cause:

• I ruled out a device specific issue, since the problem occurs on both my machines.
• It is specific to firefox, since both edge and chrome work perfectly fine
• I don't think it is related to the angular router and the way I use it, since it would be quite weird that a website could force a user to stay on it.
• It is not related to the Angular CLI since the error also occurs when I deploy the angular with nginx.

I haven't found any hints on what might cause this behavior or even how to debug the network traffic further to maybe see what is causing the navigation override.

Before I can even get on my computer, I can see Notifications for Firefox. I use my password to login to my desktop computer and the Notification in the upper right hand corner are there for a few seconds more, then they disappear. I do NOT know where to see them again and I truly would like for this activity to stop. Where do I find Notifications after I launch Firefox (my preferred browser and the ONLY browser I use) to see what the notifications have to say, and how can I disable Notifications?

I believe I had originally installed Firefox while I was in the UK. Since then I've moved to the US. When I type "amazon" in the location box, the first option is "amazon.co.uk". I've looked for options to change this to amazon.com. I cannot remove it (there's no "..." to the right). I've downloaded and reinstall Firefox now that I'm in the US. I made sure my default language is English (US).

One thing I can't done is completely uninstall Firefox and then reinstall. I'd rather not lose any settings and so am saving that for the last resort.

Anything else I can try?

According to this support page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sync-custom-preferences#), setting ``services.sync.prefs.dangerously_allow_arbitrary`` to True will sync all my preferences.

I have set it to true on the two devices I want to sync (2 desktops, Windows and Ubuntu). However, the preferences are not synced. For example, ``browser.compactmode.show`` keeps its default value "False" on my Ubuntu installation, despite it having the modified value "True" on my Windows installation.

I have tried pressing "Sync now", and restarting the browsers - to no avail.

Could anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

I just installed a new TP Link router. Initially I was able to log in fine to http://tplinkwifi.net Later that night and today I try to access that URL again, and I either get a Not Found, or a different page that gives me hints on how to access the page I am looking for which is the page to control my router settings from. If I try to login with Chrome or Edge everything works fine. I have cleared my cache, history, etc. and it still doesn't work.

Now today I am trying to login to a hospital website and it also does not work even though in the past it was worked just fine. Again Chrome works just fine.

Any ideas?

I downloaded a app on my Macos Big Sur workstation (https://kevin-de-koninck.github.io/Clean-Me/) and I ran it (I did not have the option "User Preferences" Selected) Somehow, after rebooting my computer shortly after, it had logged me out of my Firefox account. That shouldn't be a big deal right? Somehow at the same time my Lastpass password program does not have that account saved in it. It has a secondary account ( that used to be the primary, but I guess I switched it at some point) that I can login to, however whenever I login to it, it says

Hi all, Since I've started using Firefox, at the few forums I visit (phpBB) the direct links to 'last post' don't work. In any other browser (mobile, laptop, computer) if I click the button to go to the first unread message, I go to the first unread message. In Firefox, it depends.

- Most of the times it will just go to the top of the last page of the thread, even if there are 2, 5 or 25 messages that I've read earlier. It will not go to the actual first new post. - If there's a new page of the thread (let's say page 4/4) with posts, but there are unread posts at page 3/4, Firefox will go to the top of page 4/4 anyway. And I'll have to manually find out if I missed new messages at page 3/4.

This week I bought a new laptop (Windows 11) and I logged in at Firefox with the same profile, hoping that the new device would erase this 'unconvenience'. However, it didn't. This makes me believe that there's an option I clicked once on my older device (Windows 10), but can't find back. Can you wizards maybe tell me where to find this box I need to (un)tick to stop Firefox from doing this? I tried using Firefox on my Android mobile once, but it had exactly the same thing, so I stopped using that and swtiched to another browser.

Something strange at these same forums is that if I click "Show threads with new posts", it will give me a list. If I visit one of the threads, go back to the list and hit refresh, sometimes not only the thread I just read will go to 'read', but randomly one or more other threads will also show up as 'read', while I never touched it. Bug?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,

When I open an email in Firefox browser it opens in right hand half of the page, unless I use the pop-out facility.

The heading is far too high and cannot be made any smaller.

If I enlarge the type - Ctrl + mouse wheel, or Accessibility + type size .- I cannot scroll.

When replying to an email, it opens in the bottom half of the left hand side.

Sometimes, the replying typed letters only show the first two lines of type and the mouse wheel causes them to disappear when scrolling. In this event, I have to type the words on a Word Document and copy and paste into the email reply space..

So I am unable to use Firefox comfortably.

I am sure there is a way to overcome this and I do not want to have to change my Browser, having used and got used to Firefox for over 20 years!

This has only recently started to happen, and being well past my sell-by date, I find technology a little confusing!

Any advice would be gratefully received, and obviously, faithfully applied!

Regards,

Colin

I'm using Firefox 116.0.1 on Ubuntu linux. I'm not using a VPN, antivirus, a proxy or any kind of http filtering.

When attempting to load a certain website I get the message: "An error occurred during a connection to www.[website].org. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR"

Google results tells me that firefox throws this error when it can't resolve a safe SSL/TLS connection to the website.

The thing is, I don't care. I'm aware of the risks of browsing on a website with outdated or non-existent certs.

How do I get firefox to drop this security measure?

I got the notification that there was an update available...clicked on about Firefox and it is trying to download a new browser at 90mb...why is this and how do I get it to stop???

Hello I think I found a bug in firefox settings. Recently I upgraded my antivirus to bitdefender total security with firewall module. I set it to ask me about permission to connect with internet for every process on windows. I was very surprised to see that default-browser-agent.exe tried to connect to internet. I checked my privacy and telemetry settings again, but they are all disabled. I checked internet and found this mozilla article: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/telemetry/data/default-browser-ping.html You can read there that "opting out of telemetry does disable it; the pref value is copied to the registry so that the default browser agent can read it without needing to work with profiles". I opted out from all possible telemetry, both visible in settings and hidden in about:config(based on lists of telemtry-related options from web).

Is there any way to actually disable this ping? It tries to connect with internet every 24h. I guess I can simply remove it from windows task scheduler but I want mozilla to respect my privacy settings and disable it solely using browser built-in settings!

Old article on web stated that this can be easily disabled by disabling setting responsible for sending technical data ( https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/firefox-now-tells-mozilla-what-your-default-browser-is-every-day/ ) but I have it disabled and it is clearly ignored!!!

P.S. Sorry for screenshots in Polish but I guess you can understand them even without language context.

I'd like to know what encryption algothim is used for the password manager and the process behind it. Since I'm using this information for a paper I'd appreciate it if you could add a source as well if possible.

In other editors/browsers, when I select text block in multi-line textarea, it selects extra non-existing character at the end of line - see picture 1. When I try to move cursor without selection, there is no space at the end of line. I'd like to replicate this behavior in Firefox.

2nd picture - Firefox

Can I somehow replicate this behavior? - by changing browser settings, etc. - by editing site code - if possible this would be better.

Why is firefox that set as my default browser having an issue of with my keyboard key strokes? When I type out a letter key, it shows it in a different key alphabet? For example, if I type “a” on the keyboard is will show a complete different random key like “5” or “d”. I am very comfortable and love using your browser. And would want to continue doing so without changing to another.

- A practical example is the following attached screenshot. I have typed the word “qwerty” on your browser but instead I get displayed on your browser “dfghjk”. - Very important to know is that I am running “ZoneAlarm Extreme Security NextGen” Anti-keylogger. That is configured to block programs that secretly record keystrokes (see attached document). Why is it only Firefox that is affected by this? - I have also contacted Zonealarm and they instructed me to contact you about this seeing that this issue only happens with your browser and not with any other program. I can type in Word or outlook or any other App without issues. ( - Like you can see from my other attached screenshots, it is not only your browser (firefox) that I have installed and working with as my default browser that is the only one having issues. The other browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Brave) are all working perfectly without this issue/problem. But only your browser that I made as the default browser that is the only one having this problem. - A good example, I typed this whole message using outlook without an issue/problem of this sort (see attached document).

Can you please look into this and provide me with answers on how to resolve this.

I am frequently needing to clear the Cached web content, when doing development work on a website. I always need to remember to remove the check mark from the Cookies box. However, I sometimes forget and loose dozens of log-in cookies and need to reset them, which is a big pain.

I was unable to find anything in the Firefox Advance Configuration settings. In Chromium and Chrome browsers, only the Cached images and files box is set with a check mark. If I cannot change the default for Cookies, this is reason enough for me to switch browsers, despite using Firefox for many years.

I was trying to set up Mullvad but upon reaching the settings where "DNS over HTTPS" once was I noticed it was gone, how can I change provider now without the option too?

I can no longer 'Select all' of a simple html table displayed in the browser. The header lines won't select no matter what I try. The browser only allows the body lines to be selected, and subsequently copyied.
