Forum Bashkësie Firefox

A website I user, www.advisor.ca, displays a banner across the top which obscures some of the text in Firefox but displays correctly in Chrome. The attached images are for the page https://www.advisor.ca/tax/tax-news/court-dismisses-challenge-to-cras-administration-of-cap-gains-tax-proposal/. I expect this is one of those things that Chrome does 'wrong' but I would like to know if there is something I can do to make it display correctly in Firefox, of if FF could handle it in some manner.

Thanks.

I just switched to firefox from edge, and so far I really like it, but I got an issue with scrolling through youtube home page, it's laggy, and the lag is present 95% of the time. This is not happening in Edge or Chrome. This might be subtle to people using 60hz screens but for me it's noticeable and annoying, its as if the FPS drops from my set 144 to 30 or something. Is there a way to fix this? I really want to keep using Firefox :(

I read the article about having 50 GB of free VPN use after I updated Firefox today to version 149.0; however, I don't see anywhere where I can enable the VPN. I've checked in the "Customize Toolbar" section, and I still couldn't find anything. I don't understand, the article made it sound like I should have access, but I've also read that it's not out for everyone yet?

i have saved initial searches i did in firefox as bookmarks in the bar under the search bar. i have now setup a seaparate bookmark folder to save these website bookmarked links into. if i reopen each of the initial bookmarks and save the link using the blue star process into the new bookmark folder i created, will that link become permanent? and can i then delete the initial links that sit on my firefox under the address bar and the newly saved links in the new bookmarks folder be still available?

thankyou for your help in advance. I tried AI and wasted quite a bit of my time trying to get correct answers.

All of a sudden I cannot save bookmarks. Neither the instruction "To bookmark a page, just click on the star in the address bar." or using the "Bookmark Current tab..." in the Bookmarks menu do anything. Trying either method just sits there and does nothing.

The update 140.13 messed up my computer-again. My Mozilla Thunderbird emails, folders are gone, my address book is still there. All personal email messages and folders are gone. I am a member of the Foster Care Review Board and I can not recreate my folders that were saved with information. I have information on the state court system, but now the business and information messages are gone. They are just as important as to what the court system has. This happened with the last update and it was a horrible mess. I was never able to get anything at all back from Thunderbird. I had to set up emails again recreate email folders and individual saved folders to move forward. This time, like the last update, the computer keeps crashing when Firefox is open, the update changed settings in Firefox and on my computer. Wiped out restore points and my partition drive. I need to get rid of this update and don't tell me how dangerous going backwards is because what happened now is absolutely worse. I run anti-spyware, clearing cache, etc. on a daily basis. I have anti-virus programs running 24-7. No problems whatsoever until this update. Someone please tell me how to get rid of it. I am looking for another email program and another browser. I have used Firefox forever, but I am done, moving on to something that doesn't change my settings, delete my email programs or crash my computer. I do not need or want this stress. I am using Windows 10. Any insight to restore my Thunderbird folders so I can move them to a non Mozilla email program?

Hi everyone! I have a couple issues that I'm encountering for an otherwise solid experience.

1. Scrolling with my touchpad or touchscreen on my laptop is choppy with Firefex while being smooth as butter using Edge and Chrome. It's on a specific website with a ton of pictures - Slickdeals.net. No problems with all other websites. The issue is w or w/o hardware acceleration.

2. I thought I found something great with Firefox's option to disregard a site's native font...so that my chosen option will override every site. Instead, it's showing up on only a handful of sites I use. More confounding is the fact that changing font size is not taking effect...when I choose 'reader view' those options work perfectly but going into the main settings just won't act accordingly. I'm also on the Microsoft forum talking about help with a virus but I'd like to know if anyone else is struggling with this...thanks!

I am using Firefox on Linux Ubuntu 26.04. I normally work with multiple tabs. Then I quit Firefox with all tabs open at the point of quitting. Some times on the rare occasion there can be a forced quit due to some issues. In my settings I have configured it not to open the previous tabs. In fact I want a blank page. But whenever I reopen Firefox, it opens those tabs and tries to reload which is annoying. Some of these pages take a long time to reload, and why would I want to look at tabs which I already have read. Or if it crashes due to some website on a tab why reopen something that crashed in the place ? Can you fix this. Thanks.

Firefox 150.0.1 Ubuntu 22.04

Problem: When downloading a file from a web page, the list of files and folders in the Download Panel are sorted such that file names and folder names are intermingled, rather than the "standard" folders first, then files.

Discussion: This problem has been happening for a bit now (probably 2 - 3 months or more). Unfortunately, I don't recall exactly which version of Firefox this originally showed up in. At some point recently, the default sort for the Download Panel changed, so that instead of listing folders at the top of the list of download targets, then listing files, now all items are interspersed. For example, previously selecting to download a file from a web page would give the Download Panel contents as:

AFolder BFolder CFolder AFile.txt BFile.pdf CFile.jpg

Now, the list presents as:

AFile.txt AFolder BFile.pdf BFolder CFile.jpb CFolder

I would like to go back to the previous sorting behavior, but I cannot find a way to do this. I have searched the Mozilla help articles without turning up relevant information, and I have searched the internet for web sites that might list relevant information, but either the information I am seeking is not out there (unlikely) or I am not coming up with search terms that locate the information (much more likely).

I am not even 100% sure that this is a Firefox problem (it is within the bounds of possibility that it is an OS problem), but none of my other regularly used programs show the symptom, so it would seem odd to me for it to be something other than a Firefox problem.

I would appreciate any pointers (web pages, help articles, or even just "change this in about:config) on how to resolve this.

I want the page to be on a certain zoom say like 50%, I put it on that level and then close firefox and restart. I then check the box that says zoom text only and it resets the zoom level of the page again. I does not stay at on the zoom level I selected. Like zoom text only is not checked in the hamburger menu.

I've downloaded the Firefox-recommended "search by image" extension. I can't figure out how to actually use it. Watched several videos, but none of those included the "how to use it" aspect.

If someone has time to respond to this, I'll very much appreciate detail and completeness - I'm afraid I'm not very intuitive.

Thanks in advance

When backing up bookmarks to HTML - HTML Back-Up does not include the TOOLBAR Bookmarks. Please advise how to include the toolbar bookmarks in HTML format. Thank you.

Firefox does not recognize that it is gone too automatically update my window. I need help to put the latest VPN back into my Firefox version 153.0 bc I have tried everything AI has recommended and I still don't have it. I may have deleted the hidden files too. Should I just delete all of Firefox and download the latest version and let that update itself?

I am using Macbook Air computer with Monterey OS and part of Tahoe OS (I didn't have enough room to download it said I needed 5+ more gigs) and I was already using FireFox version 153.0 BUT I didn't know what that little VPN icon was at the top right of my screen and so I deleted it and everything to do with it. I may also have deleted the hidden files of it. I followed AI to try to recover it, but no luck. The Firefox app itself tells me I already have the latest version, but the entire VPN appears to be gone.

Not sure what else I could have accidentally deleted, but would a complete remove and re-install of Firefox be my easiest and best choice now? I can go no farther with AI, it reached a dead end. Can a Mozilla Firefox techy person please help me with the steps to do this if this is a good idea?

Please do let me know if there is a better / easier way and I can let you know if I've tried that already!

After years of using Firefox to access art sites, suddenly the sites no longer display all the images, leaving instead a verbal description of the art! This has happened in the last week! I am so frustrated with Firefox, I am considering switching to Safari or Chrome, as the don't have any problem downloading jpegs.

VPN is on. I can't access the internet. Error message is either: An error occurred during a connection to www.thewindowsclub.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Or: Connect to the internet You're offline. Check your connection.

I've googled the issue but it talks about ports and tunnels and going into settings. I've looked in the VPN Mozilla settings and there only seems the option to either include or exclude a website from the VPN. Nothing about different ports and testing. I've already written this message once but the VPN was on so it disconnected the internet and I lost this message! Trying a 2nd time now without the VPN

Any help? Or should I give up with it?

thanks Annie
