I want to change my Firefox password. Roboform has all my login info. When I opened the change password dialog box I was asked for my current password & Roboform filled it but the dialog box says it's wrong. How do I locate my Firefox password?

Hi

Recently when i try to sign into my outlook accounts using the option password, says "you've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect password?" i have to ask to send a link to another email address to sign in. I have no problem signing in on other platforms, just Firefox. I have tried safe mode clear cache and still it doesn't let me sign in using my password? Assistance to resolve this would be appreciated. Thank you

I have recently encountered reproducible failures when attempting to download files or save pages to local storage. The target directory is located on a mounted NTFS file system with the options umask=007, user=root, and group=disk. My Firefox browser is running under a non-root user account that is a member of the disk group. However, I consistently receive the error message: “XXX could not be saved because the source file could not be read.”

I would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance in resolving this issue.

I lost the ability to browse using multiple tabs. I have to open multiple windows because the browser automatically goes directly to the site rather than a new tab. I've used firefox for YEARS. Must I change browsers to have this feature?

I've used Firefox as my default for years and years. Yesterday I got some popover telling me I had to create a new profile or I'd lose all my Firefox data, history, bookmarks, etc. It would not let me avoid this. So I did. Still lost all my history, started over. Today it's doing the same thing. What's up? I don't want to move to Chrome.

I want to avoid any 'ai assist' searches because I do not find their summaries accurate or valuable enough to be worth the environmental impact they consume. I know my web browser searches are not under the control of firefox, but for privacy and security I kill cookies when I end browsing sessions. So I am not staying logged in to search engines when I finish my sessions, and setting my preferences to 'no ai assist' on DDG doesn't last session to session because the search engine defaults to 'ai assist' searches now, as does google.

Are there any search engines that do not use ai?

Has anyone written an extension/add-on to FF that would add 'minus ai' to all my searches no matter what browser I use? Or otherwise indicate to search engines that I do not want ai-assisted summaries period?

We've got various privacy options built into FF--this is why it is my preference always--and it would be LOVELY to have a 'no ai' option too.

when I sign in with firefox site comes up with big OOPS on screen says refresh. Refresh but won't go away.

Called Cabelas said the website was working properly. Could firefox be blocking the website

I am having problems navigating using Voice Control which I believe was previously called Voice Over, which allows me to control and type with my voice. It works on Safari however on the Firefox desktop app it is completely broken and I cannot give any commands and typing text doesn't work on some website such as ChatGPT.

I found an old article explaining the support has been added however I don't understand why I can't use Voice Over at all on my Mac.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

When i watch netflix,youtube and etc i cant go fully full screen. i see my desktop wallpaper a small bit on the side and top of my monitor. i only had problems with firefox this way. before i usually could just go out and in to full screen and it would fix but now i cant and its really iritating

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this because I'm at my wits end on this one. I work on an app that is used by a large amount of users. Starting october 14th around 7am (UTC+1) we started observing weird behavior where a small ammount of traffic (less that 1%) would have abnormal header values:

'custom-header-1':'[custom value], [custom value of a different header]'; 'custom-header-2':'[custome value of header 2], u=4'; 'sec-fetch-site':'cors'; 'priority':'same-origin'; 'sec-fetch-mode':'empty';

As you can see the values of these headers are mixed with one another in almost a deliberate manner (since it appended the u=4 with a comma separator and a space from the priority into the custom header 2 value). There is nothing in the client code that would do this kind of manipulation, and from examining the logs this only happens on Mozilla browser traffic starting version 144 (which was released on October 14th coincidentally). Not that this does not impact all Firefox traffic. In fact, just a tiny fraction of traffic from random users and it's not even all of their traffic of an active session. Just random requests that then fail, are retried and the abnormal headers are gone.

I doubt the fault lies in firefox. If I had to hazard a guess it's probably some extension acting up, but the timing coinciding with the release of 144 give me the only troubleshooting path I have right now since contacting the users is not possible. We've seen it happen 145 as well.

I'm not really looking for a solution here, just a shot in the dark if someone else has experienced this or has some insight as of what this could be.

On the screenshots you can see my wallpaper and desktop icons peeking through. This problem had started like a month ago and it was just a one time thing, after opening the browser and getting fullscreen the 2nd it never came back until restarting the browser. Now after the updated with rounded edges everywhere, going fullscreen is always misaligned

This is where you describe the issue in detail.

Explain what’s happening (e.g., “Videos keep freezing after 10 seconds”).

Mention when it started and what you already tried.

Include your Firefox version (you can find it under Menu → Help → About Firefox).

I already had two separate "old style" profiles, for personal and work browsing. I just created a new profile (from my "old" personal profile) using the new Profile Manager. I managed to import data from my "old" work profile to the new one. In this process, I ended up creating two new work profiles (with different names). Now, I simply cannot delete one of them. Clicking on the delete icon on the profile manager opens the new profile, and I understood I should see a confirmation dialog corresponding to the "about:deleteprofile" URL, but nothing is shown on this case. Also, this new browser instance doesn't show any profile management menu items.

I tried manually removing the profile directory on ~/.mozilla/firefox hoping Firefox would understand it is gone and would automatically get rid of it, but instead it automatically creates a new empty profile on the same directory, and also unmanageable and undeletable.

So, if someone could please tell me how I can get rid of this new bogus profile, I'd be very thankful.

BTW this whole "new" profiles is a cool idea, but IMHO it was launched in a premature state. They are prettier, indeed, but besides the above annoying bug, there are no CLI args to switch directly to a "new" profile or open the new profile manager. This makes it impossible to use apps like Junction which allows you to choose a browser when you try to open a link (which worked just fine with the "old" profiles)

Hi! So I just installed firefox and I got onto annoying issue. I like using shortcuts on my homepage, but I started to get some shortcuts added automatically and they bother me a lot. I tried removing them or deleting from history, but as soon as I click the button, one shortcuts gets removed and immediately gets swityched with another one automatically. So I'm stuck in the infinite loop of removing shortcuts and my manually added ones just get lost in all this mess.

As this happened just after the update today I think there must be a.problem with the update so therefore you need to supply a fix ASAP As I have said I am unable to access any menus so no access to account setting, cookies, new bookmarks, this only appears to be affecting Firefox on PC's, as I opened this tab on my phone

Hi.

After the Windows has just updated, the "Bookmarks" ribbon on top of the screen is unavailable. What can I do to get it back. The directions have just confused me further.
