I am looking for an addon which displays times in different locations. I find one, FoxClock, which initially seems to meet my need. However, although the developer says its safe, and it has a Recommended badge, text in the app description says "Access your data for all websites." This may be 'honest' but it seems to be honest at the level of a thief saying "I'm going to rob you." WHY would a clock app need access to my data for all websites? Why would a clock app displaying on my desktop, not my browser, need to access any info about my data for any website? Poor coding? Lazy coding? Dangerous coding? Is this only a result of less than nuanced messaging by the developer or Mozilla, by using a generic message, rather than one which accurately states the 'access' is only for specified installation needs? Or another understandable safe reason? I'd like an explanation, since it does call into question the degree of security offered by Mozilla.

Cloudlare Validation error on Attempted Login

I have logged into TinyURL.com MANY times using Firefox. Now, I get a Cloudflare Validation Error when trying to do so (see attached screenshot/snip).

This was done in Troubleshooting mode, but is the same in standard mode, though I have no extensions enabled. I've tried turning Protection Tracking off; no luck. - We use ZoneAlarm, but the Web Secure functions are all disabled. - I have the same issue on 2 PC's, one Windows 10 and the other Windows 11, 64-bit. - I'm on FF release 150.0.2 - 64-bit, and both Windows installs are fully updated and kept that way. - I've reached out to TinyURL in hopes of resolving the issue. They suggested many of the above steps but not resolved this issue. - HOWEVER, I've found that login via Google Chrome IS seamless - no issues.

What is it with Firefox that it's having issues with the Cloudflare "Human" check? I've checked the Cloudflare site; all conditions are good, and this very setup passed the "Turnstile" check.

FF is my #1 preferred browser, so please look into this. I see that others have posted similar issues over multiple years here (but a search of support articles didn't find one . . .)

Thanks,

How do I remove "add sitename"* from Search bar drop-down menu?

  • sitename refers to whatever site you are on at the time

I have no use for this option and find it overly invasive. I have searched everywhere for solutions and have not found any that work. If it is not currently "removable", please make it so.

Thanks

Stale croatian dictionary and further action request

Greetings!

I have a few questions if you'd be willing to answer.

There have been some changes and new additions to the croatian dictionary (https://github.com/krunose/hunspell-hr) and as such, the Firefox dictionary could be updated.

Can you confirm that the dictionaries and language packs are separate additions and that the dictionaries are used for spellchecking? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

When is the spellcheck dictionary installed, only when the user installs it or when the user installs a language pack?

In addition, the croatian dictionary has not been active for the past eight years. Maintainer of the current hunspell-hr dictionary has said that person behind the croatian dictionary extension has not responded for several years. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/croatian-dictionary/ https://github.com/akoncic/mozillacroatiandictionary

What are your suggestions how to handel the situation? There is already a fork of the extension that is used as a pull request but has not been merged for years. https://github.com/krunose/mozillacroatiandictionary

Thank you for your understanding.

Have a wonderful rest of the day.

Здравствуйте. Я установил сертификаты по инструкции, которая лежит на s.sber.ru/70VQ2B . После этого в мозилле не прогружается полностью окно входа на online.sberbank.ru, не видно содержимого фреймов (сейчас попробую сделать скриншот). В Microsoft Edge работа нормальная. Удаление сертификатов, перезапуск браузера и компьютера не помогли. На других компьютерах ещё не проверял. Посоветуйте, пожалуйста, что можно сделать. Windows 10, Firefox 153.0.3 (64-разрядный).

I noticed that my Tab background color doesn't change after recent Firefox updates.

I have this code (css - chrome) to change the color of the active tab to green and it no longer working.

/* Start code: Change color of active tab to Green and the inactive to default*/ tab[selected="true"] *{ background-color: #00c100 !important; /*Green */ font-size:10pt !important; font-weight: 650 !important; color: black !important; }

Any help in fixing this is appreciated. Regards,

I have a cmdfile to open specific news websites in a private window. The syntax of the cmdfile line is

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window %*

with a "timeout /t 2 /nobreak" call for a 2 secs pause between each to give things time to get going (firefox seems to trip up if I rush it with URLs using start command .. probably understandable).

This works, but all "windows" open in a new tab in the existing or initial private window instance. I want them to each open in their own instance of a private window. It seems to be behaving like the option -new-tab rather than a genuine new private window for each URL.

What option/s do I need to use to get a true new private window with just the specified URL open in a single tab for each URL I have coded?

Font on certain sites is being forced to this weird one (NOT in private window though), font setting in accessibility does nothing to fix it

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?

[Images attached from terraria.wiki.gg in a normal tab (with bad font) and private browsing tab (with the font it SHOULD have) for comparison]

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 won't load but Safari will

Any time I try to load a webpage on Firefox, I get the error which states "Firefox can’t connect to the server". This occurs when the DNS over HTTPS setting is set to 'off' or 'default'. When the DNS over HTTPS is set to 'custom', the error displayed is "Firefox can’t protect your request for this site’s address through our secure DNS provider. Here’s why: Firefox wasn’t able to connect to firefox.dns.nextdns.io." (it's the same for next DNS or cloudfare).

When I initially opened the DNS over HTTPS settings, this message was displayed: "DNS over HTTPS is not working because we encountered an error (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED) while trying to use the provider Cloudflare". However, this message went away and I have not been able to replicate it.

I have already tried everything suggested in the support article "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can". I do not have any antivirus software installed. I reconfigured the proxy settings to no proxy. I changed the IPv6 settings. I changed the DNS Prefetching settings. Nothing has worked.

Safari works perferctly fine, Chrome is giving me similar errors.

If i want to watch a video that has geoblocker and i switch VPN on, some videos stop after a short time (2-3 min) and if i refresh the page it will again run only for a short time after choosing the scene and continue watching. Some other videos on the same page just run fine with VPN on, without any interruptions. Why is that and what to do?
