When I type in a Google search in Firefox, a red dotted line (not the wavy red line from Firefox's spell check; spell check is disabled) appears. What exactly is this red dotted line? Can I show or hide it in settings? Can I change the setting in about:config? Please help. It's very annoying.

When I search Google Images in Firefox, this pops up. I tried using an extension to hide it, but I can't see the rest of the image, which is inconvenient. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome load it, so it's not an issue. Is this a Firefox feature? It's a hassle to disable the extension just to read the rest. Could you please give me some advice?

I have picked up some bug(s) on my Firefox that I cannot figure out how to get rid of. With a Firefox ID I have warnings of 3 Trojan Virus detected, Virus detected, hard drive infected, secure data notice and system alert. I also got a warning that my McAfee protection had expired which is very strange. Since switching over in 2010 from Windows to Linux I have never had protection of any kind and unlike Windows have never had a single problem. In addition when I was using Windows the protection that I had was never McAfee. I suspect that these warnings are not from Firefox given the misprints, spelling errors and the poor English. It is likely phishing from some third world country. How do I get rid of this obvious garbage permanently? Many thanks! Kris

Any help would be appreciated.

Bonjour,

Sur un MacBook Pro sous OS X 10.9.5 j'ai chargé firefox 78.0.2 64Bit et il est impossible de changer le language pour le mettre en francais. Pouvez-vous m'aider, merci

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

I prefer Firefox over all other browsers I've tried

About a year ago, I think, after an update I couldnt copy a chat into LibreWriter that included the name of the chatter.

Disappointed, I found Brave browser that does copy all within the chat window.

The thing is is Brave is unreliable, and often the chat locks up after an couple hours unless it is regularly checked -I stick with Firefox for my involvement, using Brave to record only because it lags while typing, sometimes so badly a whole sentence can be typed before it appears on screen.

Can you restore the code that allowed the name of the chatter in Rumble chats to be copied like Firefox used to?

It would be much appreciated. Thank you, Biff

I use both Firefox and Google Chrome. My mouse works fine with Chrome but with Firefox there are frequent long delays (60-120 sec.) when moving from one web site to another. The mouse just freezes up and I have to struggle to close Firefox. No problem with the mouse with Chrome, but I prefer Firefox and its features. Any suggestions?

I am using version 88.0 and browser, both outdated and not supported. How do I update to current version and update browser? I am 80 yrs old and not computer literate, please keep it simple. Also, I am alone, not help available. Thank you

Hi,

I've been using Firefox for years, and suddenly I'm having these strange issues which are forcing me to use another browser while doing schoolwork. They are as follows:

- Discord. When I have Discord open, and then I click another tab, when I go back to Discord the whole screen is black. When I refresh it it's fine, but I have to do this repeatedly each time I go to another tab.

- PDFs. I use Blackboard for my college assignments, and Firefox no longer allows me to open PDFs that teachers post- I just get a blank page when I click on one.

- Black images. Most images show fine, but with some websites (for eg. home depot) the image of the product is black.

I've cleared history, cache, cookies, disabled extensions, and still no dice. Not sure what happened/how to solve this :(

Thanks for any help! zoe

The AccuWeather part of the Firefox homepage says I'm in Portland, Oregon, USA, but I'm not even in the same country. I tried to change it according to the directions I found earlier, but the only drop-down for my city was another city in the US but none in any other countries. So now I can't change my location. How do I change my location? It wasn't like this yesterday and I have no memory as to how it became "Portland, Oregon" since last night. I don't even have a VPN so it isn't that. How do I change it back to my area without using my exact location?

I usually have a lot of pages open on Firefox and the display in the dock gets packed, if you will. I would like to see an option in the settings to turn the dock display off, just for your program, Firefox. It would be nice to toggle this option. I've searched for about an hour trying for an option and a solution. Thanks for your good works. I'm on an early Mac Mini 15.7.1

Take care. Have fun. //... Joe [edited email from public community support forum]

This issue just started recently, say within the past 2 weeks Mid September forward.

Only happens in Firefox, Chrome not having an issue. Open Facebook tab and it opens fine then after 10-30 seconds, it crashes with this error "This page isn't available right nowThis may be because of a technical error that we're working to get fixed. Try reloading this page."

Have disabled all extensions, cleared cache multiple times with no success.

Appreciate any other suggestions on fixing as I'm not a big fan of Edge. Old school. lol

Thanks - Dan

Hi Windows 10: After installing Microsoft PC Manager am losing login passwords on restart. Searches say I must solve this in Firefox but need step by step help. If I have to remove PC Manager I will. As always thanks much, Lane

Presently 142.0.1 (64-bit) installed; previous updates/downloads had no problems.

Now, however, going to https://www.firefox.com/en-US/?utm_campaign=SET_DEFAULT_BROWSER and attempt a download results in this (image).

Any solution to this?

Thank you.
