Forum Asistence për Firefox

As of a few days ago it seems that every time that I try to copy some text and then switch tabs Firefox will just completely lock up on me. This is happening on two different systems of mine.

Hello, I was on my Facebook page and was about to share a link, and was denied further access. This message keeps coming up as I try to logg in again: Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.facebook.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

WHY CAN'T YOU CONNECT TO AMAZON? I DON'T NEED HARASSED WHEN I TRY TO LOG IN, I JUST NEED TO LOG IN, ORDER A PRODUCT, LOG OFF. NOT JUMP THROUGH HOOPS, WAG MY TAIL, SIT UP, BARK, AND KISS YOUR ASS!

Why has Firefox been updated three or more times a month? Is the software not reliable? or Is the software poorly written? or You don't care about your users? For security purposes, we have antiviruses, antispam, etc., software, and firewalls. This is a lousy situation for users like me because we have been asking to update all the time, and it's interfering with the browser settings that get resettled every time there is an update, and I have to set them up again, wasting my time on it. Why can you not do it monthly like Microsoft, and why you don't tell us what is the update for? I would appreciate your answer to it before I decide to switch to another browser. Best regards.

Well, I don't know why they think it's a good idea to open the history in a sidebar, but it is quite harmful since very valuable information is lost, such as the date and time that a certain activity was carried out. This is why I stopped using Microsoft Edge a few months ago and to my horror see that Firefox just did the same thing. Leave history alone!

Hello,

Recently, I did run an update on my Mozilla Firefox browser but then I noticed that the Amazon search shortcut had changed to Amazon-Fr. It is no longer the Amazon-UK as it used to be and it is impossible to revert it. I followed all the guidelines that your support page has published on your page here [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/assign-shortcuts-search-engines]. This availed to nothing and it was a waste of time. I honestly believe that something is pretty not right with the shortcut assignments. I attach images as evidence to show what I am writing is true.

Can you grant assistance in this matter?

Thank you.

I recent migrated from Ubuntu Mate 20.04 to 22.04, now I see that Firefox come from snap (not form .deb package). I find that bleachbit is no more capable to clean Firefox cache and I find a tricky situation: Firefox suggest me to autocomplete fields like account or username, amount (in home banking web page) and others, but I disabled the auto complete and the suggestions I can see are even from months ago and I never see that suggestions when I was using 20.04 because bleachbit was cleaning it weekly. Now the fact is that represent a privacy problem for me. How can I fix this problem?

Setting up my new computer tomorrow, this one will not be used, nor the hard drive. If i stay signed in, will my new computer have all of my settings, passwords, and bookmarks for Firefox be there when i download Firefox on the new computer? There will be no way for me to activate a new device, because this computer and drive will no longer be used.

Firefox just "updated" itself for me and I lost almost all of my bookmarks. In addition, I lost the quick access bar that on the previous version had saved the bookmarks that I most frequently used. I AM NOT AT ALL PLEASED WITH THE "UPDATE". YOU JUST MADE MY LIFE HARDER!!!

With recent releases, I've started noticing that Firefox UI freezes seemingly randomly. When it does, the UI doesn't respond to interactions, and there's no visible change in the UI, either - for example, if I switch to a different tab after the UI froze, there's no visual sign of switch happening. However, if I were to alt-tab to another window, then then UI looks as if it had responded behind the scenes. I.e., the tab switch were somehow kept pending until at the point of alt-tab.

I've had this happened on two different machines, both running the latest version (106.0.1), but this was observed even with 105, I think.

FWIW, I'm on Linux; I've tried both with and without hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, I don't have consistent/sure reproducer; not have I observed any particular pattern of interaction that'd lead to this.

I was going to file a bug, but thought posting here before I do that.

Sometimes the browser comes up with "Access Denied You don't have permission to access www.kroger.com" is the latest example. Once that message comes up nothing I do will get me to the website I want. I have to switch over to Microsoft Edge to continue my browsing.

I want my browser window to look like all my other windows. Why did you force these stupid themes on users? Why do developers always want to to tell/force others how they should use their computer?

COLOR CHANGES SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OPTION, not a mandatory change. Realize YOU do not know how EVERYONE else wants to use their computer or have it look. Like, oh say, STANDARD WINDOWS formatting LIKE ALL MY OTHER WINDOWS. I LIKE IT THAT WAY. I don't care if you think that's boring, its not YOU using the computer.

SO - looking through all the searches MANY ARE REALLY UPSET, and there isn't an answer. SO What is the fix to get rid of the stupid themes? And don;t say "Oh, well maybe you will like nnnnn theme!" I KNOW what theme i want - I want it to match ALL MY OTHER WINDOWS. REALLY simple, yet your developers couldn't figure that out?

Or is only fix finally just switching to using chrome? Is that what you are trying to do?

FIX THIS.

I am having issues with our Storyline published e-learning courses. I always test in Chrome and Firefox. We just had a Q3 release on October 3, so my testing was prior to October 3. All course completion reporting worked as it should in both Chrome and Firefox.

I have now started a new round of testing for a new course and my course completion reporting is reporting correctly in Chrome, but is not reporting correctly in Firefox. When I launch a course in Litmos in the Firefox browser and then exit the course before it is completed, the course is being marked as completed. When I launch the course again it does not pick up where it left off, the course starts over. I am wanting to convert back to an older version of Firefox to see if this resolves my issue, but I am not able to figure out how to do this.

Will you please tell me if this is a possibility or if there was something in the recent Firefox updates that would be causing this reporting issue within my course. I have tested my course in Chrome, no issues, I have tested my course in SCORM Cloud no issues, it is only happening in Firefox, which leads me to believe it is a Firefox issue.

Thank you so much for your help, Melanie

Hello,

I am sure this question has been asked before but I looked and looked and still can't manage to find an answer. My laptop decided to die on me and I am still figuring out if they I can migrate the hard drive. I went and bought a new one. I had two Firefox windows open with a lot of tabs in them that I would like to restore, and have not succeeded. I was able to restore my Chrome window and tab by going into "History" and choosing other devices. But, I did not find the same capability in FIrefox unfortunately. All it would let me do is view a few random tabs, but not restore my still open sessions in my my other laptop as is.

Is there a way I can restore them keeping in mind that I can't access my old laptop at all anymore so exporting/importing is not an option unless I am missing something?

Thank you for your help.

I want to sort the Bookmarks dropdown list A to Z by name. When I click on Manage Bookmarks and then right click on All Bookmarks, then click on sort A to Z, nothing happens. The dropdown list is still mixed.
