Komunitné fórum Firefox

One of the things I heavily rely on with FireFox is it storing words I type in reply boxes on various forums. Lately however, Firefox only seems to keep them for several hours, then they disappear. For example, I can type in "K Frame." (See image attached) The next time I go to use that field again, that text will automatically appear. And it may continue to do so for several hours, even if I close out Firefox and return later, but eventually, within 24 hours, it will disappear and I will have to retype it again the nest time I want to use that phrase. FireFox used to hold these words or phrases forever.

Any suggestions????? Both my Windows 11 and Firefox are up to date.

Note: I always export all bookmarks to backup file and copy that to several safe locations for needed synchronization across different browsers and also restoring them if needed. Problem: I have repeatedly selected all items in Firefox bookmarks sub-folders and then followed by importing html bookmarks thinking that I was updating my bookmarks, so all my browsers had same. Instead, what I find is duplicated sets of bookmarks building up about 10-fold so that now any search for a site yields far too many duplicate listings and it is a mess. How do I prevent this from happening and how do I actually and truly delete all boomkarks in Firefox?

Aside topic: For all the folks who have accidentally lost bookmarks, my experience with losses has lead to always having backup files of bookmarks and backup listings in word or Excel of all my settings and extensions, etc. Automation has advantages, but it introduces new headaches. I can never allow myself to believe that everything will one day be just rosy. Also, multiple different browsers can be very helpful.

For the past couple years, whenever I use the copy image feature the pasted outcome is always minimally brightened just enough that it's noticeable. Copying and pasting of the outcome brightens it again, and if I keep going the resulting image will be one big white square. This isn't the end of the world, more of an inconvenience as all I've had to do is switch to taking a screenshot of the image instead, but I do miss being able to just properly copy the image. The brightened effect is present no matter where I paste it, whether on another website or on a completely separate app, and other browsers I've tried on the same Mac don't have this problem. Is there a way for me to fix this? I already followed the support instructions for a different yet somewhat related pasting problem where I set gfx.color_management.mode to 0, and that had no effect. Is there anything else?

On certain websites, I see that the background color of the new tab page replaces the default background color making the content unreadable, example:

If I browser this website: https://typespec.io/docs

Here's what I see (see the firsrt attached screenshot). Now, if I open the same URL in Private browsing, the background color changes too (see the second screeenshot). In the 3rd screenshot I'm adding the reference rendering, that's how I expect this website to render (Edge).

In the screenshot 1 and 2, the background color is exactly the same as the one used by the new tab page when I open a new tab.

Questions: 1) Why is that? 2) Can I change that?

Context: I'm trying to switch to Firefox (from Edge)

Bought new PC and downloaded Firefox but it shows all my very old useless bookmarks instead of my recent ones. How do I retrieve these new bookmarks? I've tried transferring data by putting my files in MS one drive but that didn't work.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to figure out why my ComfyUI (local AI image generator) stopped working with Firefox. There were no error messages from ComfyUI, it just failed to load workflow files.

It turns out that it's because Firefox is installed as a snap package and wherever the snap configuration for Firefox lives thinks it knows better than I do what files and directories on my system I can access in Firefox.

I also had this problem with trying to open PDFs in my home directory where I kept getting access denied errors. I tried to solve the problems with the snap version and found several proposed solutions by google search which people claimed worked but did not.

I finally found a web page that described how to uninstall the snap package and install an alternate non-snap version of Firefox, and now everything works like I expect it to.

How do I make sure this snap version does not ever come back?

Upon launching Firefox I noticed a notification from Macafee antivirus, I don't really care how to spell their "company" name. But when clicking on the popup it brought me to a firefox addon for macafee. I assume that this is a virus created by the aforementioned company and not a partnership between the two of you. Just wanted to create awareness of this virus as its targeting your browser.

I've noticed that when using Firefox on Ultrawide 32:9 I get major blurry artifacting across the window and webpages. These can occur on the webpage itself, or they can occur in the URL/Tab bar. Once the window exceeds a certain width (roughly 75% the width of my screen) I begin to see these artifacts (if that's what they're called). If the window is downsized to half, or just slightly under 3/4 the width of the screen, these visual glitches don't appear. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration as recommended, but this doesn't seem to fix the issue or change it in any way. I have a Samsung LS49CG932SNXZA (Odyssey G9 OLED) display running at 5120x1440 240hz on a 4070ti GPU.

I am able to repeat this issue using Amazon as an example website, and I've attached some example screenshots. In Amazon, the issue is obvious and appears across the entire webpage, except for where the cursor has an interaction with the page (such as highlighting text, or hovering over something causing a transition). In the Tab/URL bar, setting the window as wide as possible and then hitting the WIN button to open the Start Menu seems to cause the issue 100% of the time. Running my cursor across a blurry section of the Tab bar seems to temporarily revert a portion of the it to looking normal again. If there's any more information I can give, or anything else I can try, please let me know.

I also found this reddit post, which seems like others with ultrawide displays may also have this issue without a fix. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1bcrsy8/ui_and_text_is_blurry_with_ultrawide_5120x1440/

I beleive in the recent versions of Firefox, shortcut keys have been added/changed such that holding the Option key while in the URL Search bar activates other functions (Switching search engines: Option + Up/Down Arrow) and completely disables my ability to move left or right through the URL by word.

Is there any way I can disable this shortcut key combination?

I want to disable the suggestion in the address bar but no matter what setting i find and change about it doesnt turn off the suggest, what more can i do? I have tried via settings and in about:config

Well until a week ago I had no problems with Mozilla and apparently it got to a point where I deleted Mozilla and went to the Mozilla site downloaded the 64 version and couple of things have changed not sure why but they have and I'm not sure what to do ... The main thing is moving files into sites like We Transfer and Mega ... It just bounces off ... I took these sharing sites to like Edge and Opera not a problem.... Mozilla won't work.

Icons look funny when I am on Chess.com If I use Microsoft edge on this same PC the site looks fine. But when I log in with Firefox the Chess.com website Icons look like symbols. This is some kind of extension issue? Look at the upper right corner of the screen shot I have attached. Thank you, HELP!

I run Firefox on a Mac. I've saved my gmail login credentials in my Firefox saved passwords. About a month ago I started having a problem where opening the gmail login page no longer autofills my gmail username. I've used Firefox, Gmail, and Mac together for 14 years. This has never been a problem until July 2024.

I can't find an answer in Mozilla Support, Stackoverflow, etc.

How do it set up my web browser so it lists the websites i frequently visit when i pull down the search bar? Now it just lists the google searches i have conducted.

I have "findbar.highlightAll" set to true in about: config so that text I search for is always highlighted. But if I enable "Search for text when you start typing" that setting gets reset to false when I perform a search. Is there a way to keep "findbar.highlightAll" set to true? Or is this a bug?

Thanks to a Microsoft update my PC had to have Windows reinstalled causing me to lose all my apps. I have reinstalled Firefox on the PC but of course, all my bookmarks and passwords are missing. I had set up syncing between my PC and my Android mobile devices (phone and tablet). Can I restore or sync from the mobile device back to the PC? I have searched and found nothing. Even when signed into Firefox on the phone, it does not bring up "Sync" when I go to settings. I truly appreciate your help.
