Forum Asistence për Firefox

I want to keep Google as my default browser page but the box "firefox is your default" is not possible to change. It is always checked on. When I open, it is fine, I was able to make Google my homepage, but after that, it is dumped. When I go back to the screen from other pages it goes to Firefox browser page. My hotlinks installed on my Google browser don't work either. Youtube links won't play anymore when I click from another platform. I have had an "update your Firefox alert button non-stop for many months now. It is still on even when I update. A "switch seamlessly between devices" window is frozen forever because I don't want to use it and it started when I could not turn it off.

When opening or downloading an attachment from an email (yahoo mail) the email tab closes after about 20-25 seconds without warning. Happens each time a new attachment is opened, but does not happen when opening the attachment subsequent times. Happens on all my computers. Have tried all the basic remedies..clearing cache... cookies..etc

I have seen same exact issue posted by others.

This started happening approx 4-6 weeks ago.

Firefox 106.0.1 (64-bit) my notebook is a Dell Vostro15 3000 with Win.11 pro (version 21H2) The Yahoo mail tab, which I have always open, keeps closing unexpectedly but I can't figure out if this happens with an exact action of mine. I believe it closes either when I read a yahoo mail or view an attachment, but also randomly even if I am visiting another irrelevant page on another tab of Firefox, when I suddenly discover that this exact tab (yahoo mail) has been closed. This never happened on my previous NB with win 10. Is this a win 11 problem?

I was using Ubuntu before. I was using firefox and i had lots of recorded logins in that browser. I sign in with my current account and i opened sync including the password and login. Recently i changed my distro, i am using Fedora right now. I log in my firefox account, yet my passwords and logins didn't came back.

Hi, to be honest since many years when Firefox get launched i started to use it, until come Chrome but i wasnt too much happy, but to be honest and even when now i have a bran new pc Chrome take lots of resources that firefox doest. Even this way i wish to keep using firefox but i suggest for the next update in firefox add a new feature like the last added in Edge (sleeping tabs) this just put to sleep the unnused tabs to save resources, save ram.

Thanks.

Hello All -

Is the current version of FFX compatible with macOS 13 Ventura? If Ventura breaks FFX then I don't want to do the OS update until FFX works.

TIA!!!

For the last few weeks, Firefox freezes up occasionally. Sometimes, I have to Force Quit to get out of it as Quit Firefox won't close the program. Using Ventura 13.0 on a M1 MacBook Air. It was happening before Ventura as well. Fairly recent issue.

Anytime I open a PDF file, it automatically saves it. I changed in the application box to ask me what to do and I said to open it with firefox and it does but it also saves it. For some reason I have 3 pdfs listed in the box asking me what to do with a pdf file. They are all changed to ask me, in fact I changed all listed files to ask me what to do. Help please

I'm trying to add a credit card for the "autofill credit cards" feature, but it doesn't seem to work. I fill out the form, and click save, and absolutely nothing happens. I can cancel the form, but of course the data is lost.

Any ideas?

I use text replacement for a lot of things but it doesn't work in Firefox, which sucks because I like firefox

I usually sing in/up several websites & extensions like workona , linkdin, quora , udemy etc but after turning off my computer or closing firefox, & returning on new session, the tab logins automatically restores & I have to login again. How to fix it ?

I am so fed up losing my pinned tabs.

I want a Firefox facility where I can have permanently pinned(locked tabs) and normal pinned tabs.

The permanent ones must not be able to be removed without myself physically clicking and removing them individually and are persistent when opening new browser instances, cannot be cleaned/removed by other cleaner programs are not saved in History.

Permanently pinned tabs should show a mark on the tab like a red padlock.

I use One Tab, but that has it's down side in that it clears my Tabs from the browser in to one single tab and then it is difficult to manage them, there are others and they all have their failings.

Please provide this locked tab facility.

the labels toggle button on google maps is unresponsive in both satellite and maps views. where do i find a setting to allow this button to become active? can i program the button to become active? thanks for any help.

i'm on windows 11 and use firefox web browser. both are up to date. i tried it on the microsoft edge browser and it works.

i've tried disabling all addons, restarted firefox, and problem still exists.

next i went through all of my firefox settings and toggled those that might apply. problem still exists.

next went into about:config and checked all settings not set at default. toggled any that might apply. problem still there.

any other suggestions in the community? is there a particular area of firefox i should look into closer. i would prefer not to have to reinstall or reconfigure firefox on a wholesale level. i have it highly customized and it would take multiple hours over a number of days to get everything back to where it is. this is the only site giving me a problem, and only this function on the site.

under layers/more the globe view toggle works fine, only the labels view toggle is not working.

i inspected the button element in 'firefox inspect' and found the attribute disabled="false". google maps is not honouring the attribute. when i remove the attribute, the button works. i cannot apply this across sessions though.

How to force Firefox stop autoplaying videos when I'm switching to the i.e. new YouTube tab, but in the same time do not pause a next video on YouTube playlist. Some time ago it worked well, but now if I set Block Audio or\and Video in settings, I have to manually click Play, and with Allow Audio and Video chosen it starts playing video immediately after I click on another tab.
