Forum Bashkësie Firefox

I was advised to clear the cache in Firefox for another issue I was having.

Now I cannot log into my Instagram account, which has been fine for years.

After I enter my user ID and my password I am taken to a screen that offers options for verifying my identity. But the cursor just spins and there is no way to continue.

The same process goes smoothly in Edge.

What is holding up the log in process?

I have emptied the cache. And I have disabled all my extensions and I have tried a Private Window. I also checked with Malwarebytes to see if this was a problem with them. It was not.

Hi Folks,

The previous Firefox "Share" menu was very helpful. It presented a number of options for sharing a website. I used it all the time to send websites via email. It was very simple — click on "Share", select "Email" from the drop-down menu, and a new email would open in Thunderbird with the title of the website in the subject area and a link to the website in the text area. Very handy.

But now (I assume as a result of a Firefox update) to get to "Email" I have to go to the "Share" drop-down menu and click on "Airdrop, Messages and More..." (see attached) and then select "Mail" in a small window that appears (see attached). Clicking on "Mail" opens a new email in Thunderbird but unlike previously, the new email has nothing in the "Subject" area (although thankfully, as with the previous "Share" process, the text window does show a link to the website being shared (see attached).

This doesn't make sense to me. The previous "Share" was a quick and easy one-step process, and now it's a more cumbersome two-step process, but the real annoyance is that the subject box of the new email is blank, so one has to go through the process of copying the name of the website or the news headline or whatever, and then pasting it into the new email's subject box. All this seems to be retrogressive. Is there a reason or reasons for the "Share" process to have been changed? And might Mozilla be persuaded to change it back?

Thanks for considering my plea! :)

When I tried to watch a video, I got the following message:

"Video unavailable due to your privacy settings

Your browser has Global Privacy Control (GPC) enabled, which prevents video providers from receiving viewing data.

To watch this video you will need to disable GPC in your browser and reload the page."

How can I watch the video?

The pdf creation/save tool is no longer working to create or save document as pdf file to computer. The browser does go through the motions resulting a "file" name to download and save but nothing happens.

I was cleaning my laptop screen and my firefox got disconnected in the process. I would appreciate help with re-establishing the Firefox application. Note: I can open my gmail email accounts, but note NEWSMAX-LIVE

I received an email stating that Firefox will not support the Honey extension after December 30th. I want to know why. I use it regularly and it helps your customers to save money! I'm not happy about this and I've been a supporter of Firefox for years.

In the last couple of weeks, when I've used the FF address bar to search using Google, I get a Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer message. Sometimes I can just click "i am not a robot" and continue; other times i have to complete a (or several!) captcha before i can proceed.

Also, whether or not I get an AI reply above the results seems entirely random. Before, it used to happen every time, but now I often get "thinking" and then a blank space.

If, instead, I open Google.com and use that page to search, I never get the "unusual traffic" message or a need to complete a captcha. But the AI 'problem' persists.

Hi, I have been using Firefox a lot in the past, mostly on macOS, without too much of a problem. A couple of years ago converted to chrome-based browser, not entirely sure, but I think it was mainly due to a couple of chrome add-ons that at that time I could not find a Firefox equivalent for.

I recently switched back to primarily using Firefox, mainly because it more lenient on my older cpu's. (less puffing and panting and fans spinning up)

Question: I would say I'm a fairly from left to right person in the sense that I expect new tabs to appear to the right. I have recently been struggling with Firefox: - mainly: when I e.g. want to drag out a tab to a new window, or use right-click on a tab, then "Move tab to new window", what often happens is that that specific tab, while moving, takes 5 other tabs with it - how can I disable or change this behaviour? - I have also experienced quite some times, e.g. I have several FF windows, working in one of them, and doing cmd-t to open a new tag, then the new tag opens, but jumps to some weird location, all be it in that same window, but definitely not to the right of the tab where the command was issued from.

I have the followin add-ons installed: - Detach Tab - Move Tab to new window and quite a couple of other that I guess are not tab related.

Thanks for helping out!

For sometime now, I've been unable to use the any of the Halve commands via my keyboard.

Its set to Option + any of the arrow directions, and once it worked just fine but maybe it was after an update for Firefox that it suddenly no longer worked? Granted this same command works fine for other software I have open - Discord, Calendar, Notes, etc.

I'd love to figure out why this command has stopped working or if something is preventing it from working.

When I have "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" option checked, does that also clear the sites that I have added to the "Manage exceptions" option? I had added a few sites to that dialog box and clicked "save changes" and the next time I launched Firefox ans went to add a site to the exception that list was blank. Why? Is having the "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" option set also clear that exceptions list when Firefox closes?

How would I set up Firefox to clear all the cookies except for the sites I had put into the "Manage exceptions" dialog box?

Although I have Firefox (on Windows 11)

Settings | Permissions | Autoplay

set to block audio & video as the default for all sites, no exceptions listed, nevertheless one site (the NY Times, but possibly others) shows videos that sometimes appear to stall the browser. One address in particular seems to do this. Here is a sample line:

Is there a way to prevent it from getting around the blocking?

I have been using a financial website recently. I signed out and closed the web pages, Mozilla is set to always clear my History when closing my MacBook or my Windows 11 laptop. When I came back to either laptop some time later and go onto Mozilla and enter the webpage details, when I clicked on the login page my username and password are both in both of the relevant boxes. This should not be happening. Is it a setting I need to change or an issue with the Webpage? Just to confirm I deleted the user & password details from the login page & closed the login page. closed every other Mozilla webpage that was open. I quit Mozilla on the Macbook. Then I opened my Windows 11 laptop. Signed into Windows. Checked my Mozilla Account & cleared all history so there was no Nucleus webpages in history or anything else. My settings are set as shown in the attachments.

Then I found the login page and opened it.and There is were my user details & password. as shown also.

On iMac Sonoma 14.8.3 Firefox crashing immediately on start up. Does the same in Troubleshoot mode (option key). Last crash report submitted is 10 October as occasionally it was crashing but re-started but the issue is in the last few days it just will not start.

10 October report: Crash ID: bp-52047407-fe10-44ae-94d9-f337a0261010

Help please

I have used Firefox forever, but now have to use another browser when I do my online banking. I like to print to pdf any actions I have taken at my banking site. For example, payments through bill pay, transfers, statements of our accounts. Now for some reason I cannot. What is the trouble?

I have a bazillion saved addresses with many duplicates. Is there a way to delete ALL of those in one shot instead of selecting them one by one? I use FF on Android and Windows 11.
