Firefox gemenskapsforum

Using desktop PC with Roku device and Firefox as default browser, V140 / Win10. I don't know if there was a recent update, but I can no longer access tv.apple.com through Roku. I am able to enter my username and password when signing in to tv.apple.com on desktop, but no 2SV window appears and an empty sign-in form appears again, as if my sign-in info is not recognized. Signing in on a laptop with Firefox browser is successful. Signing in on desktop PC through Firefox "Private Window" is successful as well. What settings on desktop PC changed, and how can I fix this?

Thanks.

Why am I getting a 403 Forbidden message when I'm trying to access www.UFC.com, the Ultimate Fighting Championship website??? This site is save in my Bookmarks and I've not had previous issues! Be advised that I tried to access it on MS Edge and had no problem at all!!! If this continues, or if more sites are "Forbidden", I'll happily scrap your server platform!

Hello and sure hope someone can help me. Fire Fox is my browser that I have had for a year or so. Pls understand that I am 80+ and am not as sharp as I once was. I am using a desk top that I have had for years. Several days ago I was on the web looking around. I don't remember where I was on the net but I am thinking it was Face Book. Anyway, up came this offer saying I could create a new profile and a new name on Face Book if I wanted to. I have always wanted to do that so I started filling out the paper work. I made up a profile name and a user name and was moving on to the next part when it came to me that this might be a scam, so I canceled what I was doing, or tried to. Boxes kept coming up telling me that I needed to finish filling out the form, but I X'd out of that too, several times. Then the box said "you need to finish filling this out or you will never hear from us again. Then I shut the desk top down until the next morning. In the am, I went on Fire Fox and went to the Face Book site. For awhile all I got was pretty much a blank page with no way to do anything. A day later the sight came up kinda but things were a bit different. There were some things like my profile picture at the top rightwas gone and then Boxes were coming up telling me to complete the paper work I had started. By this time I knew that someone was trying to scam me. I tried to find several sites that were generally on my home page of Facebook when I signed in, but they were gone now along with other things. I went on two another browser and got on Facebook and found things to be very normal, so what ever happened only effects the Fire Fox browser. I would sure like to fix this so I could use Fire Fox to connect with Facebook. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

При попытке войти в аккаунт twitch появляется ошибка о том что браузер не поддерживается. Я попробовал множество вариантов(какие то были описаны на сайте twitch, какие то предложены технической поддержкой twitch). Вот некоторые из них: 1) Убедитесь, что используйте последнюю версию браузера. 2) Отключите все расширения. Особенно это касается расширений для разработчиков или схожих типов расширений. 3) Очистите кэш и файлы cookie. 4) Перезапустите свой браузер и повторите попытку. 5) также я пробовал запустить с включеным vpn и без него Ниже представлены предложения от тех. поддержки twitch:

  1) As a first step, make sure you're using a supported, up to date browser. The Twitch.tv site is currently developed for the latest versions of the most popular browsers, you can find a specific list here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/supported-browsers
  2) Replicate this issue in an incognito window/private browsing mode while your browser extensions are disabled. 
  3) Log out of VPNs or similar software which might reroute requests through an IP address other than your own (how to do this will depend on whatever software you're using).
   4) Avast Antivirus, AVG Anti-Track, and similar software may also affect your connection - make sure to add Twitch as a trusted website or disable it temporarily to see if that resolves it.
   5) Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies (you’ll need to log into your account again). You can find instructions on how to do this depending on your browser here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/supported-browsers
   И ниже мой ответ:

1) I use a supported browser (Firefox latest version) 2) I tried to log in incognito mode and nothing worked either (no extensions installed) 3) I tried to log in to my account with and without VPN 4) I don't have any antiviruses 5) I tried to clear browser data and that didn't help either (running in incognito mode does the same thing)

Hi,

I am in the process of migrating away from Chrome, and I am considering Firefox as my new daily browser. In Chrome, I was able to get surround sound playback through my major streaming services (e.g., YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, etc.). As I recall, there wasn't anything specific I needed to do in Chrome to enable this. As long as I was listening through my 7.1 surround sound headset, it seemed to work. In Firefox, it seems that audio from all the listed streaming services plays in stereo mode. Is there a way I can get surround sound to work on this browser? I couldn't find any audio related settings or documentation about this issue.

Thank you.

Using iOS on Mac Mini desktop, I get no sound on democracynow.org but on the iPhone the sound works fine. Most other streams/videos have fine sound but not imdb.com on the desktop with iOS but again, fine on the iPhone.

starting just now, firefox will not take me to ANY website. All other browsing services are working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and clearing cache and cookies.

If I cant get this fixed for my job I will go back to chrome and never download or retry this again. I will also never recommend firefox to anyone like I have in the past.

I have 2 separate firefox profiles that are open at the same time. I made a shortcut to open the second profile as a new window but it still shows up in the original firefox taskbar. How can i make it so the second firefox profile can be clicked to minimize and maximize the window in the taskbar? in the picture im hovering over the original firefox icon and whenever i press the shortcut icon it make a new window with profile 2.

When I forward or backward a video on Youtube, using J, L keys, arrow keys or mouse click, or pause & unpause, there is this fade in effect on the sound. The volume isn't constant. Volume starts at low and it gradually increases. I don't have this issue on any other browser or application.

Hi all, I'm using Firefox 140.0.4 (64-bit) on Debian Trixie and I'm getting a weird behavior with the auto-complete functionality of the address bar.

If I type the first character the address gets auto filled (see 20250711_First-character-auto-fill-working.png attachment), then if I type the second character the auto filled result disappears (see 20250711_Second-character-auto-fill-NOT-working.png).

I've tried any search option combination, but results doesn't change. At the moment I'm using for the address bar just "Browsing history" (see 20250711_Address-bar-settings.png).

The correct behavior would be, as in the past, that new characters confirming the address would leave things as they are. Do you have any suggestion on how to restore the original behavior?

Many thanks,

Raoul

Hi. I'm still new to Firefox and don't really know the settings very well. I recently switched over to using it and realized that when I use most drop down boxes the background of the drop down menu is black, but the text is white and the selection box (when you hover over the item) is also white. Making whatever I'm hovering over very hard to see. I'm wondering if I have a strange setting turned on or not?

Settings wise I have Firefox set to dark mode, not the auto. But when I use the auto it still happens. Trying it in safe mode it still happens. Iv tried to research this a little myself. And read something about the proton setting and turning that from true to false. But this also did not work.

Is there any way to fix this? I just need the text to be a different color or the selection box (when you hover over it) to be a different color.

Attached are two screenshots of what I'm seeing

I managed to find my Backup-files in my Mozilla-files, but upon copying it i only got my closed Tabs back and not my closed Tab-Groups. I lost like months worth of Tabs and dont know how to restore them.

firefox need to detect and know how much monitors and screens like 1,2,3,4 to know to open new window always in monitor 1, screen 1. in now is open always is where is placed first open firefox program window. that is happened when i start firefox in screen 1 and move it to second monitor screen 2 all others start opened program windows open in screen 2 monitor 2. this is not good. if i will come time to hav 4 monitors and 4 screens what we do ?!?!? chasing where is open firefox program in all monitors.

second. all firefox opened program windows and loaded links in them need to remember where is closed to remember where is need to open in next time like monitor number and screen number. also what is size of program window is in moment of closing of program window.

talk about it and see what you will do about this futures in new updates.

Firefox recently started "eating" my tabs: closing them without my permission. There are several tabs I want to keep open at all times, because I refer to them from time to time throughout the day, but Firefox closes them from time to time. I googled the issue and the AI directed me to two settings: browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory and browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload. It suggested setting the first one to "false" and increasing the duration of the second, or setting it to "false." However, the setting will only accept numeric values.

Since I am not having low memory issues, I want Firefox to leave my tabs alone. Is there any way to actually do this? If not, it would be really nice if Firefox developers reversed this intrusive change.

Thank you, Terry

Hello.

I use Firefox on an computer with Ubuntu, (installed as snap) and have noticed that since the update to version 140 (specifically, version 140.0 canonical-002-1.0), closing a tab causes a noticeable delay : that is, upon any action that would close a tab (clicking on the cross, pressing CTRL+w, or middle clicking), there is a delay of about 200 to 300 ms before the tab is actually closed.

However, during this delay, the window still responds to inputs, leading to rather annoying situations. For example, during regular usage, I usually open a great number of tabs. When I am done with browsing, I close them, by repeatedly clicking the cross button on the tabs. It used to be that the tab under the cursor would immediately close, then the next tab would slide under the cursor, and I would click again to close that one, etc.

But now, when clicking the cross button, the tab is not closed, and when I click again after a small delay (because of muscle memory), the tab is still there. This cause the two single clicks to be treated as a single double-click, which for some reason puts the window in full-screen mode (but only with the snap version; I'm not sure what's going on here).

When using CTRL+w when closing tabs, the delay is still there, but the inputs are correctly handled. If I press CTRL+w three times at the usual rate, I can see the three key presses, then nothing happens for a few instants, then the three tabs close at the same time (i.e. the delay is from input to tab close, not from tab close to other tab close).

This behaviour is completely absent on Firefox (also version 140) on my windows computer.

This delay does not appear when creating tabs, and it does not occur either when closing the window or when closing the last tab in the window (leading to an amusing situation where shutting down Firefox is actually faster then closing a tab). These operation keep going at their previous speed, immeasurably fast to the human eye.

Navigation does not appear to be meaningfully slower than before the update, and the CPU/memory usage is very reasonable.

Curiously, this appears to be a fixed delay. Closing an empty tab takes the same time as closing a very busy one. Closing a tab when there are five takes the same time as closing a tab when there are thirty.

This issue makes browsing feel incredibly sluggish.

Is there a solution for this problem ?

Edit 1 : I have tried to run Firefox in troubleshoot mode, but there was no difference in behaviour. Edit 2 : Fixed typo. Edit 3 : Added exact version. I also tried to refresh Firefox, but the issue remained. Edit 4 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.1 canonical-002-1.0. Edit 5 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.2 canonical-002-1.0. Edit 6 : As of version 140.0.4 canonical-002-1.0, the problem seems to have been fixed. Thank you.
