On some forums - not this one - I am unable to complete the relevant text box to compose a reply. EG the Devon forum: https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/sync-between-mac-and-ipad-works-and-iphone-not-working/87390/7 No text appears and the text box is completely inoperative. The problem is not confined to that site, but I have experienced similar on other Forums.

I use Ublock Origin which I thought might be causing a problem but disabling it has no effect, neither does disabling Little Snitch. As a result I've concluded this is probably caused by something in my settings but I don't know which or where to look.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi, I try to use Firefox for my job and faced with the problem that I can't open state owned website due to sertificate signature error. I ready to take a risk but I can't find the button "Proceed.. (Risky)". This button simply not showing. In th same time in mobile version I saw this button, could take permssions myself and open the website. I tryed to add root and sub sertificates of the Goverment, tryed to add the site address to exclusions -- all these steps don't work. I can't open the site and can't find button "Proceed.. (Risky)". Moreover, in the same time, I can open this website without any questions and problems with Safari and Chrome.

I use the last Firefox version (153.0) from Firefox official website.

How can I resolve this problem in Firefox? Please help me

Firefox Release Notes "Developer Information" Link is Broken

The "Developer Information" link in the "Developer" section of the release notes page - https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/153.0/releasenotes/ - for Firefox is broken … (read more)

The "Developer Information" link in the "Developer" section of the release notes page - https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/153.0/releasenotes/ - for Firefox is broken as of v153.0.

  1. It attempts to open: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/153
  2. MDN shows a 404 message, and offers a "153" suggested search link which eventually gets me to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/153

I have not tested this for other regions, but without the "en-US" (and possibly other "language-CountryCode" flavors), the link in the Firefox release notes page will not open the Developer release notes in MDN.

Could be an MDN configuration issue if it's not a problem with how links are generated for the Firefox release notes page.

Let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thank you in advance if this issue is fixed.

I just found out that my tabs are not stored when reopening Firefox. Only pinned ones are still available. In settings of course I have `Remember history` and `Open previous windows and tabs`... I'm new to Apple, but this behaviour is absurd. Someone said I woudl have to use Command+Q as a solution? That can't be true. Is there some strange way of installation of Firefox I did that only not pinned tabs are not remembered? I have all things up to date. I'm not a noob in computer science so I can verify something more but this out of the box bad behaviour is shock to me. At the same time on Windows I have 200+ opened tabs and no problem to restart Firefox and keep have them.

I have extensive bookmark collections organized under my bookmarks toolbar. I use different bookmark sets at home and work. I need them remain separate but would like them to be backed up and synced. For example, if I'm at home, I want to be able to toggle over to my WORK bookmarks with all the latest updates. Basically, I need distinct bookmark identities but don't care about keeping other work/home stuff isolated.

I tried making home and work profiles, but syncing them to my Mozilla account merged the bookmarks which was a mess that took a long time to straighten out.

Can 2 profiles be synced to the same Mozilla account without merging bookmarks toolbars? If I have to create a separate Mozilla account for each profile, that kind of defeats the purpose.

I've looked at the available docs but can't see a fix. Can someone advise how I can either:

A) Sync multiple profiles (with bookmarks) to my Mozilla account without merging the bookmarks toolbars B) Find another solution to let me toggle bookmark sets.

There is a website that when I visit it , it Firefox prompts me if I want to grant it access to Local Network Devices. The page continually refreshes, so the checkbox to "allow always" unchecks in a fraction of a second after I check it.

The result is the site is only temporarily allowed to connect to Local Network Devices but I want it to be permanent.

Since I cannot check the "always allow" checkbox, I'm looking to manually grant the website permission. Looking at Settings->Local Network Devices, I don't see a way to add a website to the allowed list.

Is there a work around I can use to achieve my goal? Perhaps something I can edit in about:config?

Hey guys, am I the only one having trouble finding the right timezone in the widget? I cannot set Indian Time Zone (IST, GMT +5:30, New Delhi, whatever) nor easily find Canadian timezones (i.e., Ottawa).

I know I can put GMT+4 and call it a day but A) I don't want to deal with summertime daylight saving times and B) Funny enough, if I select the GMT+4, clock goes to GMT-4 (and this happens for every other timezone).

I remember not too long ago, I could copy/paste blocks of links, in the format of link1|link2|link3|etc, to save current tabs as my homepage if I needed to close firefox and not loose my tabs. But now, I have to manually add and remove each link individually (see screenshot). And it only shows the site domain, not information specific to the actual page I want to keep so I don't know if I'm deleting something that's not needed or important. I usually have 50+ pages that need to managed: saved, removed, reordered, etc. I used to be able to set up one browser window exactly how I want it and click button to save current tabs as home screen. It was so easy.

Is there any way I can revert back to the old way of saving homepages? Or any other suggestions to have tabs reliably reload? I need a solution to be guaranteed to work to not lose important work, using current tabs as homepage accomplished this. This is one of the major reasons I used firefox.
