Javascript is not working in my firefox. Even going into settings to enable java script doesn't work, because it says java script is enabled. But the webpages tell me that they need javascript enabled in order to work.

Firefox claims does NOT save site/URL visit information while in Private Mode. And I thought that was true. However, I just discovered that Firefox DOES SAVE Private Mode URL/Site visits - in this specific place. I don't know how long the history will be saved - it looks like at least as long as the Window is open. I want to keep most of my open Private Tabs open - but want to Delete/Clear the ones I'm done with. I thought/understood that Private window/tab/visit info was not tracked/saved - and it's not saved in History, or Searchable. But it appears that this doesn't apply to the Recently Closed Tabs MenuItem. And there seems to be NO 'delete' or 'clear' option for this field. I can't find any reference to the subject in the Forum or Articles. The picture I've attached is NOT of the Recently Closed Tabs while in Private Browsing, but is the same MenuItem and field contents. Thanks for your interest. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to delete/clear this specific history.

I recently installed Win 11 on a new Acer Aspire (with MSI MAG244F monitor) but the issue seems to be present on my Acer Nitro 5 with built-in monitor as well.

I don't think it's an Acer issue but I am only running Win 11 on the two Acer machines. If I open a web page with colored graphics or pictures and then drop down a menu of the browser (bookmarks, etc.) the colors of the graphics bleed through. It's annoying and somewhat obstructive. It does not occur if a window from a different app is opened on top of the browser window no matter how bright the colors are.

I attached a few edited screenshots to show the issue. The edits are only to cover personal information etc.

The issue seems to be color saturation and does not occur on my other Win 10 machines or in other browsers. Not even the same version Firefox on the Win 10 machines.

Is there a way to increase the opacity of the drop downs or lower the color saturation in the Firefox browser?

My primary google account's language is set to english. If I search normally, then the results are shown in english. If I open a private window and search in google, the results will try to be in the regional english and google asks if I want to switch to english every time.

I just discovered that Pocket is gone, and I got no notice that it was going away. I've searched the articles on how to export the contents, but they just send me into a circle of links with no useful instructions. Since the Pocket icon is no longer there, I have no way to get into it. I really need to recover those sites because I saved them for a reason but don't remember their URL's.

Hello,

I disabled the AI summarizer almost immediately after seeing it because:

1. It was not able to summarize the page
2. It blocked the information I actually needed to see on the page

However, shortly after disabling it I got a pop-up ad advertising the feature! (attached)

I can browse and go to websites, but the "back" button is inoperative and the "refresh" buttton is inoperative on my latest Firefox install ... as is the "menu" tab at the top right of the page and everything else at the top (except for the "downloads" tab ... that works, everything else at the top is inoperative

in addition: I get my "home page" set with the links I want (and none that I don't want) and sometimes when I go to a website that I rarely visit, it tosses a "new favorite link" into what I already have customized

also, the "finish setup" tab just below that on the right side is still "active" even though I've finished setup, etc

seem to some or several glitches in this version

thanks for any help

I have these printers.

"HP LaserJet M109-M112" (the Windows default) "HP LaserJet 1020"

Regardless of the value of print.sav_print_settings, the first print dialog after starting Firefox shows "HP LaserJet 1020".

If I manually put "HP LaserJet M109-M112" (no quotes) in print_printer, it reverts to "HP LaserJet 1020" the next time Firefox starts.

How do I make "HP LaserJet M109-M112" Firefox's default? Thanks.

Hello:

I am trying to create a csv file of my passwords to import to Microsoft Edge from FF. I went through these steps in Firefox:

Settings>General>Import>Select Passwords from CSV...

...and then it takes me to browse my computer for a CSV file that I have YET to create. I don't think this is how you create such a file.

I'm not sure how to import my passwords to create a CSV file so I can put them into MS Edge. When I tried importing my password (and all my other data) inside of Edge via Edge, it only brought in 235 passwords from Firefox where I have 422. So I would assume if I used and imported my passwords to Edge via a CSV file instead that all my passwords would populate in Edge not roughly half of them.

Could you please tell me how to create a password CSV file in Firefox to use in Edge?

Many thanks in adabce

How to disable the auto-adding of shortcuts feature from history to home page? It's really annoying, when I want to change my pinned shortcuts, I have to delete all auto added shorcuts (Even when the items on the screen are finished, they keep appearing in front of me, and this takes a long time). It is a must feature I think.

As title: after running updates, Firefox consistently crashes when launching.

To give more concrete details:

-Running on Linux, specifically KDE Fedora 42. Firefox was updated to 142 from 141, alongside various other updates. -When launching Firefox from any source (directly, through a link, through the terminal etc.), the only window that appears is the crash reporter. -This issue occurs when launching in safe mode. Removing and reinstalling Firefox, including deleting the entire .mozilla folder in Home at the same time does not resolve the issue. I am unable to test rolling Firefox back to 141. -When attempting to launch from the terminal (safe mode or otherwise), the following is output (personal info redacted):

restorecon: SELinux: Could not get canonical path for /home/[username]/.mozilla/firefox/*/gmp-widevinecdm/* restorecon: No such file or directory.

/usr/include/c++/15/array:210: constexpr std::array<_Tp, _Nm>::value_type& std::array<_Tp, _Nm>::operator[](size_type) [with _Tp = HeaderBarButtonType; long unsigned int _Nm = 3; reference = HeaderBarButtonType&; size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion '__n < this->size()' failed.

Redirecting call to abort() to mozalloc_abort

[ExceptionHandler generates a minidump etc.]

Gtk-Message: [timestamp]: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

(I would note that to the best of my knowledge I had not included a plugin for decoding widevine in my Firefox setup, and certainly the Firefox 141 instance on the device being used to write this post (same OS) does not include it) -The crash files in the .mozilla folder, meanwhile, consistently list a segfault at address 0x0.

Any advice on diagnosing/solving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there's any other information that would be helpful.

If it would be more appropriate, I could report this through Mozilla's bugzilla instance, but given the issue seems to be very niche (Fedora's ABRT shows a total of 5 unique affected users in the last few days) I am unsure whether flagging this there would be appropriate.

   Ever wish you could wipe the slate clean online? Our Fire Button burns away traces of websites that you’ve visited (like cookies and website caches), browsing session information (like open tabs and URL history), and permissions you’ve granted to websites (like geolocation, camera, and microphone settings).

suddenly today the mic has stopped working in Chat GPT. I have changed nothing... checked all settings, everything is ok... why does it suddenly say "Enable Mic Access to Dictate"?

Using Firevox 142.0.1 on a MacBook Air. I always have "Always ask you where to save files" checked in Preferences, but lately it sometimes fails to ask me. For example, if I try to download a file from Google Drive. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do about it?
