Firefox has been my default browser for many years on my debian linux desktop.

I upgraded from version 129.0.2-1 to version 130.0-1 in the normal manner and the new firefox does not connect to remote sites. It does connect to local pages on my PC and, surprisingly, also to www.google.com from where I can access news, for example.

The chrome browser on the same PC has no problems accessing sites, nor does the version 129.0.2 firefox. Only the version 130.0 firefox has a problem.

This happened using my current profile, using --safe-mode and using --no-profile mode on the version 130.0 firefox. I was able to see some packets from a remote site (www.akamai.com) come back on wireshark but the page did not display on the browser. This also happens for sites that appear on the default new tab page, like wikipedia and youtube.

Any ideas on this? thank!!

I am debugging a Web page that performs several AJAX requests.

To this effect I sometimes find it convenient to reissue an AJAX request (from the Network pane of Development Tools, right click + "Resend") and would find it even more convenient to open the request in a separated tab, as was possible until, if I recall correctly, four or five months ago.

Now the latter option does not work, likely because of some security tightening - the "new request" might be seen as a different context, I don't know. The AJAX endpoint receives no cookies, so it can't load the appropriate state, and restarts as a blank slate with a new cookie, which makes the reply useless to me. Even worse, at this point the new cookie value is propagated to the originating window, effectively crashing the entire debugging session.

Is there some way of disabling this option and reverting it to the older, less secure behaviour, on my own development Firefox only?

I always work with two topics, running two instances of Firefox for each. Each instance contains many tabs. The problem is that when I close the browser, all tabs are closed, and restoring the previous session opens the entire browsing history in both instances. Does anyone know how I can save the tabs in each Firefox instance so that when I reopen the browser, I can easily manage and split them?

When I type in Word 365 (Mozilla Firefox, 129.0.2 (64-bit)- snap for Ubuntu 24.04), using East European characters (e.g. š, č, ž), the text after the first such written character (see the first uploaded image) disappears after going to new line (pressing Enter or moving mouse to another line) (see the second uploaded image). It worked before on the Ubuntu 22.04 with manually installed firefox (not from snap) and is also working in Chrome.

I am unable to find the solution. I already installed additional fonts, I also created links to the installed fonts in $USER/snap/current/.local/share but nothing helps.

Has anyone encountered similar problem (and found a solution)?

Hi, This is more of a nuisance than a serious problem. I am constantly getting a header message in Sharepoint "allow access to Microsoft 365 account". When I choose "allow access" I get a pop-up that lets me choose my institutional SSO account, which says I'm signed in already. This doesn't occur in Chrome (where I'm logged into my institutional email).

Does anyone know how to stop this message from popping up every 5 minutes?

I am new to Sharepoint (and not impressed!). I don't actually see any difference in its behavior whether I've allowed access or not.

thanks for any hints

Hello guys, as in title - I use custom NextDNS set of rules on DNS-over-HTTPS. As of today, Firefox can't connect to the provider. AFAIK Troubleshoot Mode is also affected. The other devices using NextDNS on my network work just fine and when I set the DNS to work system-wide as a kind of workaround, I don't get an issue. Same when I use other DNS-over-HTTPS options in the Firefox Preferences. Yesterday the problem didn't occur and I haven't performed any updates since yesterday - both Firefox and NetworkManager seem to be up to date.

Additional info: OS: EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) Firefox version: 129.0.2

If any other info is needed, I'll be happy to provide it to you.

Firefox has quite recently started showing a new and very annoying behaviour.

When I have multiple tabs open with image files, Firefox will randomly unload the images when I switch between tabs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when and why. In one instance I may be able to go through 10 tabs without an issue, and in other instances it will unload and have to reload images multiple times, even if I am only switching between two tabs.

Sometimes the images will reload automatically a couple of seconds after switching to a new tab, and other times the image will not reload unless I navigate away to a different website and then hit the back button to return to the image. In either case, it's extremely aggravating when looking back and forth between two images in different tabs to compare differences when they reload every single time I switch between them.

This only seems to happen with image files. I can have any number of web pages open in different tabs and they will not unload, but if the address points directly to an image it exhibits this behaviour.

I have already looked for solutions and tried disabling the 'browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory' option through the 'about:config' menu, but this has no effect on the behaviour at all. It continues to unload images when this option is set to 'false'.

This behaviour is a very recent change from how Firefox usually works, so I'm assuming that it's something to do with the latest update(s). I've only noticed it happening in the past couple of weeks, though I don't remember exactly when in that timeframe the problem first appeared.

Looking for any possible solutions or options that I might try to correct this.

I tried uninstalling Firefox and it froze with similar error messages. I finally got it uninstalled and reinstalled and now it seems to be working fine. Anybody else had today's update or is this a freak error?

Right now, the only way I can reliably switch profiles in Firefox is to go to about:profiles.

I'd like to be able to launch a profile from the terminal instead. I've tried these commands:

$ firefox -P "home" $ firefox --Profile "/Users/josh/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/o4w0riri.home-1725314907557"

both result in the dialog "Open Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?". From there, I can either refresh my profile or open in troubleshooting mode, neither of which is a desired option. If I don't specify a profile, it doesn't bring up the dialog, but it's not always the profile I want to open.

I have my webserver "example.com" configured to ask for basic auth credentials on different paths, like "example.com/siteA" and "example.com/siteB". Login and username are different for "siteA" and "siteB".

Firefox will gladly save both sets of username and password when I type them in and login, but unlike with website login forms like Wordpress, there is no built-in way to select an account in this "native" login popup (see attached screenshot).

I could not find a way to edit my stored passwords to distinguish by path, it only stores the host/domain name "example.com".

Is there something I missed or is this currently not supported?
