Hi guys!

Sorry for dumb queston, just Iam not a web-dev) My problem is next: I need change default code page (charset) for every document. Its only one charset for all pages, so it can be hardcoded. Due no one another charset web-server do not use.

 Can you pls say how it can be realized? Should it be done by changing some settings files, or maybe need some code changes ( for example at intl/locale etc) ?

Regards, Ruslan

J'utilise FF depuis qu'il existe. Avant, dans les paramètres, on avait des options pour les mises à jour. Je choisissais toujours « me demander avant d'installer mises à jour ». Depuis 2 ans, j'utilise linux. FF est installé par défaut sur Linux. Quand je veux choisir pour PARAMÉTRER les mises à jour, il n'y a aucun choix. J'ouvre souvent plusieurs fenêtres en même temps dans FF, pour les lire plus tard. Mais FF me dit de redémarer FF parce qu'il a installé des mises à jour !!! Parce que je navigue toujours en «privé», ces pages ne sont pas rouvertes au redémarrage de FF. Donc je perds beaucoup de temps, souvent au milieu d'un travail important, pARCE QUE JE DOIS RÉOUVRIR TOUTES MES PAGES ! ET IL FAIT CES MISES À JOUR DE FAÇON ALÉATOIRE, À N'IMPORTE QUELLE HEURE DU JOUR OU DE LA NUIT ! Donc je demande que FF me redonne le choix dans les paramètres. Je ne veux pas que FF installe les mises à jour quand il le décide, sans tenir compte de mon travail en cours. Ou y-a-t-il une version plus nouvelle qui permet ces choix ? Merci d'avance pour une réponse rapide. Anne

So my FF interface language is German but I do write a lot off stuff in English so I installed a bilingual dictionary. I have no clue how to enable it though. In "languages" the default German language is enabled. In "dictionaries" my new dict is enabled. When I right click underlined text in English it offers me either German OR English but not the bilingual dictionary. When I click "add dictionary" I get to the page where I found that bilingual dictionary in the first place. This is very confusing behavior.

Greetings,

Due to predatory business practices, I have resorted to launching a basic webhosting business to support my other businesses and provide cost effective online presence solutions to small businesses. In order to provide the best service, I'll need to become a certification authority. I am well aware of how to generate AES256 encrypted key pairs (4096), and I will have no trouble following the rules listed in section 2 here:

Who might I contact to further my goals? You will notice that my sites lack SSL encryption at the moment, because I would prefer to issue them myself. When I self-sign them currently, browsers do not honor my certificates. For some background, here is my linkedin:

I'm currently running Firefox v 112.0.2 on Linux. I've had a theme installed for a while now that I really enjoy. It's a minimalist theme I found on github and then I topped it off with some colors that suite my desktop theme.

The ONLY issue I am having is with the dropdown menus. I can't see any of the list items and I cannot for the life of me figure out where to modify these colors. Searching has only gotten me more confused.

Photo is attached. I'm hoping that changing the text color here is an easy fix. The colors are all fine in other dropdown-ish menus, like bookmark folders for example.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Graphical explanation here. Basically, the icons on the side of the URL bar are misaligned. Prior to the latest update to version 112.02 (installed via Pacman), the icons were not visible, yet the buttons worked as intended.

I'm suspecting that there's an issue with the GTK icon theme (see attachment for system settings), but I'm not sure how I can resolve it.

Every time I open Firefox, as well as my StartPage Home page, an additional "Thank You For Loving Firefox" tab opens, and it does so in preference to my home page. How do I remove this "bonus feature"? In addition, an additional "Firefox View" button appears to the left of my home page tab, which I would also prefer not to be obliged to remove each time. Can I also disable this feature? OS is Linux Mint, desktop computer, with 2 TB SSD, Quad core processor, 16 Gb RAM.

On my linux laptop I have a lot of saved userids in Firefox that do not have the password saved - which is exactly what I want for some sites (like bank sites and credit card sites) that I want it easy for me to log into but impossible for anybody else. On my Windows desktop now, however (apparently I inadvertently deleted my saved logins), I can't seem to figure out how to duplicate this functionality again, i.e., save the userids but not the passwords. Firefox seems to want to save both, or neither. How do I get my desktop to do exactly what my laptop is doing, save the userid but not the password? Thanks.

Find out why and fix issue with pages not loading. Get a white blank page after a search inquiry on some web sites, (lowes.com),

I've using FF since the beginning. I use it for 99.999% of my browsing. Very recently the audio streaming from a particular site stopped working while all others seem to work. Other browsers appear to play this site just fine. If someone is aware of why this particular site had stopped working or better yet know of a setting I can change to resume function that would be greatly appreciated. The subject site is http://wplr.tunegenie.com/# then try to click on the play button (right arrow). I've searched and searched, tried and tried to no avail. The site owners only advise to use another browser but FF is my favorite and I am able to do literally everything else with it. Suggestions/ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks

See above on Subject = inability on my laptop with Firefox provider to watch certain dramas/films on 4 due to DRM. My problem is trying to follow the instructions hitherto given. I just want to be able to access those sites with DRM overlordship getting in the way. I am an old man who is simple-minded, that is, not 18 years and adept at whizzing around laptops.

When I open a website with a financial part eg. banking or amazon bodyshop etc firefox crashes, its ok with other sites eg. information or web mail etc. it happened after a update two subsequent updates haven't helped

Is it possible to restore previously deleted pages in FF history? There are instructions for FF in Windows but I am using Ubuntu 16.04 esm and the FF version is 102.10.0esr.

The pages were deleted  several days ago and the computer has been shut down and rebooted many times since then.

If it is possible doesn't that defeat the object of deleting history pages?

Hope someone has an idea! Derek

How do I prevent Firefox from re-opening my last session upon reboot, for example after my laptop dies or I shutdown without closing browser windows? I never never ever want Firefox to restore pages at any time for any reason.

Background: I use firefox for work, and I keep 7 separate firefox windows open to the sites I use to do my job. Because it's a pain opening them every time, I created a shell script (I'm using linux mint 21.1 by the way) to do it. I just double click a desktop icon to launch my shell script and all of my windows open in the order I like them to be in.

Unfortunately, if my laptop battery dies or if I just am in a hurry and I log out without closing everything, then the next time I log in and launch my script, it opens my first firefox window, which then decides to open ALL 7 of the windows that were killed when my laptop shut down, and then my script opens the remaining 6 windows it is supposed to open, for a total of 14 browser windows now open, and I have to close half of them.

What I tried: I googled around and the only thing I could find was the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once settting, which appears to have no effect whatsoever when I restart (my test was to set this flag to false, open 7 browser windows, restart my machine without closing the browser windows, and then launch my script and the result was 14 browsers open instead of 7).

Version: I'm using Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint (mint-001 - 1.0) with a Firefox version number of 111.0.

I use Firefox for many years, no problems. But recently I got fake websites with www.maccabi4u.co.il and PayPal. What is wrong? I downloaded Chrome and it does not happen.

Hi,

Is there any reason firefox would flag an mp4 file legitimately?

• The file extension and file type are absolutely mp4.
• There seem to be no mp4 related zero days.

Does Firefox perhaps just treat all downloads from suspicious domains as malware? Is there a zero day I missed? Is this based on some missing metadata on the file or something?

Thanks for any advice you can give here, I'm scared.
