The problem is that when I tried opening gmail in my ubuntu, it is stuck at loading page, but other browsers like edge can open it without any problem (on the same system).

I tried every thing I can in the support forum of gmail/mozilla/others, but it's still stuck at loading.

That's all.

Firefox on ubuntu 22.04 always vanishes after some time

Hi all. I have been using firefox with ubuntu 22.04 for about since when ubuntu 22.04 was released (2022).

On firefox, I usually use the nordpass and tab grouping extensions. For the third or fourth time in a row, firefox has simply vanished from my system from day to night.

I click the icon and nothing happens. I try typing "firefox" in the terminal and get

   Command '/usr/bin/firefox' requires the firefox snap to be installed.
   Please install it with:
   snap install firefox

Even if I accept the bizarreness of snap simply deciding from one day to another that I don't have this package (or did I never have it and never needed it in the first place?) and try "snap install firefox" I get:

   snap "firefox" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'

After reading the result of "snap refresh help" I decided to "snap refresh" to update all of it's packages. Still, "snap install firefox" and "firefox" keep giving me the same result.

What is happening here?

When I try to use multiple desktops to arrange the opened windows, the window of Firefox is present in all of them, even the last one, which is usually totally empty (and when we drag a new window in it, a new empty desktop is created).

You can find attached screenshots of my three desktops, where Firefox appears (I blurred all info that could be sensitive, I hope I did not miss any !).

Is there a setting to unset this ?

NB: this is a duplicate of a post I made on askUbuntu, but it seems that this issue is more Firefox related than Ubuntu... And I did not manage to fix it with the answer provided there, so I'm trying my luck here !

NB2: oops, i just noticed that I inserted this question in the wrong topic (android), it seems that I cannot change that... I anyone see how to do it let me know !

Firefox 135.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 22.04.5. When trying to save any file (download, save image etc.) or trying to attach a file (in web-based gmail client or WhatsApp web client) nothing happens. Tried to refresh, switch off all extensions, clear download history - nothing helped. Chrome works on the same machine like a charm...

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you

I just set up a server with linux Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop, with Firefox 129.0.2 included to do some dev and testing work.

Problem: Firefox seems unable to see or open files that are above or outside the user's home dir tree.

The only extra packages installed are the LAMP stack and Google Chrome, which has no problem. (had to have something for A/B testing.)

I've tried entering the url of file:///var/www/index.html, I've tried selecting 'open with...' from the files app, etc. Nothing works.

I can get to the file through http://localserver/index.html with no issues. I've verified permissions on the entire directory tree to the file. Everything from end to end has read permissions for all, 755.

I've checked the following advanced settings: security.sandbox.content.level..............................0 (started at 4, now at 0, no effect or change.) security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy.........................false (default setting as installed.)

I am able to open file:/// and get a dir listing. BUT, if I click on var, it gives "Access to the file was denied." I even tried changing the permissions on /var to 777, but no change.

This seems to be a Firefox only problem, since Google Chrome works where firefox doesn't.

I've spent several hours searching for ways to fix this, all with no success. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, or even what to look at???

There is (IMHO) some missing functionality / unwanted feature or call it what you like (bug?).

History -> Manage History

select e.g. Last 7 days, right click on Name and select at least two attributes (you can choose from: Tags, Location,Most Recent Visit, Added and Last Modified)

Select the first entry of the list, all displayed fields are selected/highlighted.

Copy (either with the menu or with Ctrl-C) and paste it in your favourite text editor.

Why is only the URL copied? Other fields were also highlighted. Why are they not included?

This is WYSINWYG (what you see is not what you get).

It is possible to export bookmarks as an html file, so why is this not possible with history?

OK, it is possible to query the sqlite3 database directly to get some history info but it's a bit cumbersome.

To do so,

  copy the sqlite (places.sqlite) database to some safe place then open the database (with 'sqlite3 places.sqlite')
  get the history info you are interested in with a sqlite query,
  e.g. select title,visit_count,site_name,url,description,last_visit_date from moz_places where url like '%support%';

But there is no simple (AFAIK) way to convert 'last_visit_date' (an integer) to something human readable.

So either include the whole selection when something is copied (WYSIWYG) or provide export history as an html file.


ps: why is there on option 'other' in the list of 'topics' ? pps: I already posted this comment but it got lost somehow

Hello everyone, i have Linux/Ubuntu software with Firefox browser and for 5 months it has not asked me to update, with it's pop up message. Now it is urgently asking me to update, i have followed the directions given in order to download the latest Firefox version as instructed but with no success. I am downloading it, but it doesn't have an instruction to "run" it. As a consequence, my system is getting slower and slower and i am afraid it will crush! Any ideas? Sooooos!!!

That is the first line in the Hippocratic Oath. All doctors have to swear to it. All software developers should too.

I made the mistake of letting Firefox on KUbuntu update. It obliterated all my tabs and all my history. There's nothing left. I had a lot of tabs open with intent to use them to update some astronomy instructional activities. I don't know if I'll be able to find them again.

I don't really have a question except to ask: What fresh hell is this? Is it really that hard to just leave things the hell alone? I'm afraid to ever update Firefox again. If everything else wasn't based on Chromium, I'd be out of here.

Also, it looks like something out of Windows 7.

It's all gone. It's a wonder you didn't delete all my bookmarks while you were at it.

Every 1 - 2 hours Firefox stops loading pages and I have to shut it down and restart it and restarting takes around 6 clicks on the icon to get it to start.

Also one time today I lost all my pinned tabs and had to manually restore them one at a time.

Using Ubuntu 24.04.2 and latest Firefox. Cleared cache but doesn't help.
