Firefox Community Forum

I was shocked to just now review "permissions" for the 2 Firefox extensions I have installed - an ad blocker and an RSS feed reader - and see that both have "Access your data for all websites" permission.

Looking that up, I found that means, "The extension could READ the content of any web page you visit, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as USERNAMES and PASSWORDS!"

Seriously?

I realize Mozilla can read login and password info, but why in the world does an ad blocker or feed reader need the ability to read logins and passwords?

I realize login data may be practically impossible to separate from other FORM data, YET neither an ad blocker nor a feed reader should need to read page FORM INPUT data anyway!

Looks to me like Mozilla is being way too lax in allowing extension permissions not needed.

In particular, if any extension can read account login and password data, there should be a pop-up warning, and IMO such should not be allowed where not required.

I access google drive through Mozilla Firefox and also zip file or other file download but since 1 to 2 weeks i faced issue to download files especially js file.How can I solve this?

I don't know when it began but on 136.0.3, I'm experiencing choppy playback of 4k/24fps video. 60fps works fine, as do lower resolutions of 24fps content. I confirmed that YT is using the VP09 for playback.

i cant open a new tab.. and since i cant open a new tab. i have realized how many times a day i click open a new tab. its starting to annoy me . when i see a youtube video i wanna watch. i right click on the video. the first few lines are blanc. and when i click open in a new tab.. the new tab option is in a different place. the first few options say add to dictionairy and remove from dictionary .. it makes no sense., help me

There are site links that won't open or work in Foxfire but will in Chrome, using Windows 10

Sometimes the site will give me an error sometimes they don't. One recent try said "captcha failed" but there was no visible captcha to act on.

This seems to only happen on a "submit" link.

Are there any settings in Firefox that would fix this? I prefer using Firefox over Chrome.

Thanks, Rick

The NYT Wordle says it does not fit on my screen, and says to rotate my screen. This is on a laptop running Firefox/Windows 11! I looked around online and others are having the same problem, starting a couple days ago. What is Mozilla's solution to this?

I frequently use google image translate by taking screenshots and pasting them in the website. On chrome, I could grant it access to the clipboard on the first screenshot then not worry about it anymore. On firefox however, pressing ctrl + v first opens a context menu where I then have to click "paste" (or press p) every single time. It's getting annoying to have to go through this extra step. Is there a setting or add-on that would allow me to give a website full clipboard permissions like other browsers?

Hello Can you please help me find an adblocker for old Firefox 78.15.0esr. I have looked everywhere.

I have to stay on an old OSX (Mac 10.11) and use Firefox 78.15.0esr (for various reasons I cannot upgrade). I had an adblocker that worked brilliantly, but a few weeks ago it was removed (not by me), so the Ads came back!

Recent attempts to download ad blocker as before were not successful. ?incompatibility I think.

Many many thanks Jane

We have been using firefox as our default browser for over Ten years. We have several internal web pages created with google sites, with simple google sheets containers that have been working fine in that period. As of two days ago, the pages started displaying incorrectly in firefox as shown in attachments. Have tried disabling trackers and extensions and emptied cache as well as making sure firefox is fully up to date. This is happening on multiple terminals at several locations. Safari and chrome browsers work fine. Any troubleshooting help appreciated or if this is a known bug?

Hello, I can no longer use the Download Helper extension on YouTube. I purchased the plugin, but it stays gray when I play a YouTube video, and it doesn't work. I tested it on videos I'd already recorded. Is there a setting I need to adjust? Can you help me? Thank you.

Bonjour, je ne peux plus utiliser l'extension Download helper sur You tube. J'ai acheté le plugin, mais, il reste grise quand je lance une video sur youtube et cela ne fonctionne pas. J'ai testé sur des vidéos que j'avais déja enregistrées. Y a t il un réglage à faire ? Pouvez vous m'aider ? merci

I use Kipu which is a medical record app. I need firefox to autofill passwords/login when I go to the page. If I check the box in pref to auto fill, I still need to select the one that fits (there are multiple kipu logins for different offices). But then I sign notes, and each time I sign a note it brings up the box to save password...I don't want this because its not an actual password or anything its just the code I use to sign the notes...ps chrome does all this but just started not working in the morning unless I restart it...and I'd prefer firefox

When I click the plus button to open a new tab, or press Ctrl+t I want the tab to open in a specific container. To have a default container so to say. Is this possible?
