Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

I used Firefox products very heavily for several years, but switched to chrome about a year ago for work compliance reasons. I tried to log back into my Firefox account using login information stored in my password manager, and I got prompted to make a new account. There seems to be no record of my old account, no saved bookmarks, passwords, or history with other products like Firefox Monitor. To my knowledge I never got a notice that my account was being terminated. Is it possible to recover my account?

Hi :)

I use Firefox on my Asus laptop running Windows 10. It's one of these laptops with both integrated and dedicated graphics (Intel plus Nvidia).

I often experience this issue when putting a video in full-screen (especially when viewing trailers on Steam, but this may just be because I mainly use my Windows laptop for gaming, and thus most of my video consumption here is from steam). This screen will briefly (for less than one second) turn black and audio will pause before the video appears in full-screen, and playback resumes normally.

It "feels" like a GPU switch is taking place, I'd assume from the integrated graphics to the GeForce card. This is not the proble. The issue appears when I return from full-screen mode. I always have several Command Prompts open with SSH connections to my Linux server and sometimes my MacBook Pro. These windows are now empty. That is, all text is gone, and I can no longer interact with the sessions. They're not "broken," as in they're not saying "Not responding" and don't ask to be forcefully closed, they're just black windows with borders around them. All I can do is close them all down and open new ones to reconnect and start over from where I think I remember I was.

I should note that this doesn't ONLY happen with Firefox videos going into full-screen, it has also happened after launching a game and returning to the desktop. This strengthens my belief that this has to do with GPU switching and/or video "mode" change(s).

Assuming I'm correct (my IQ is 5,000 and I do do the very big brians), is there any way to control how videos go into full-screen in Firefox? Or "lock it" to a specific GPU? I've rummaged through about:config and haven't seen anything that seems directly relevant.

I've already tried using the Windows settings to tell the system that Firefox.exe should use the integrated Intel graphics only, but this has no effect.

I remember I used to use "Media Player Classic" many years ago, and it had a slew of options of how to render full-screen video. IIRC, it had stuff like "Overlay," "Windowed," "Windowed borderless," "DirectX," etc. This make me wonder if there's multiple ways of chosing how to render video in full-screen, then maybe one could direct Firefox to use a different one than the default and my problem might disappear? Or maybe one could tell Windows that if an app wants to go into full-screen video mode, Windows should pick a specific mode for it?

I'm not a Windows developer, so I don't know :) But I'm hoping someone has a good tip, because I'm finding myself using this system more and more, and this is my biggest problem with it currently.

Thanks in advance :)

I've recently updated to version 110.0, and I immediately noticed an issue with my bookmarks where my scroll position in the bookmarks list isn't being saved after opening a tab or two. It keeps resetting back to the top of the list after a few seconds.

I don't know if this is a bug resulting from the latest update or what, but I know I didn't have this issue with bookmarks prior to updating to 110.0.

In the last month or so a new icon has appeared in the Firefox Toolbar. It looks like a puzzle piece and is near the far right of the Toolbar. If you click it you go to about:addons. Why is it here, and how do I get rid of it?

system was working yesterday,..i can pull up my e-mail on yahoo...can read it but now won't let me delete it..went and used microsoft edge per yahoo staff signed into my yahoo account and mail worked fine...it's something on firefox browser...anyone else having problems ???

There are a number of threads/articles on this, such as: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1341031

They don't include that if "Clear History when Firefox is Closed" is checked, that even though settings are set to open previous tabs, everything is lost. There are options for that setting but it has wiped out my previous sessions a few times with no recovery available. I have always forgotten which setting does that even when it happens, so am hoping the threads/articles will be updated to include it for fixing the problem. It seems these settings are in conflict though and not clear. If Open Previous Windows and Tabs is set to on, I think it should override wiping people's tabs out in other settings that are buried or not as intuitive.

Mozilla lags a lot when it's started, it takes ten thousand hours to open a tab when it's started. YouTube lags a lot and specially when 60fps videos are watched and shorts are being watched. Otherwise everything works well with other browsers, but Mozilla.

Since my Firebox browser automatically updated on Feb 20, 2023, it crashes several times a day. Is this a known issue? Will there be another update released soon to fix this issue? Or how can I fix this on my end? Thank you.

I have recently got a 17" laptop and I notice, when I am on websites that have an additional scroll bar to the right of the page, it gets lost behind the firefox scroll bar. is there a setting I can change to resolve this?

Hello, I've noticed a change since the last update and don't understand why?

When opening the bookmarks tab I would get the drop down of a long list of links I have saved. I sometimes bunch them into groups so when looking down the long list, I can see the link I want better when more than one are from the same website.

But my issue is that when I went through the list and found that group of links, I could click onto one to open the page. In the past before the update I could click on the bookmarks drop down again, and still see the same area of links I had just clicked on.

Now when the bookmarks drop down closes it defaults to the top of the list and I need to scan down to find the links I was looking at again. Why? Yes when I closed the browser off and reopened it the bookmarks list would start at the top again. But if left opened I could click on the bookmarks tab and it would open to the same link area I clicked onto last.

Is there a way in settings I can reverse this annoying, unnecessary change.

A word to the Firefox workers that like changing things for no reason. I use Firefox because I like the things your browser has that the others don't. Keep taking the little things away that people like, which you seem to keep doing, then my favourite browser will just become "The same old s#*@" like all the others.

On all my new tabs which open with "Recommended by Pocket" items, the "Sponsored by ..." items are in German. All my language settings are "en-amer".?? All the other items are in English.

Hello, On https://www.cvs.com/ and entering data in the search box and selecting the search icon goes to https://www.cvs.com/ie11.html with the message "It appears you may be using a browser that is out of date." However, Firefox is current to 110.0.1 (64-bit). See the "out of date" message as well as Firefox Help > About showing Firefox is up to date. By the way, I'm running Windows 11. Pretty frustrating. Thank you, Steve

I am having issues with Firefox and Twitch. after updating to the current version (110) I have been unable to claim twitch drops. So I tried troubleshooting like clearing my cache and cookies, and logging out of twitch. But when I try to log back into twitch I keep getting this error stating that my browser (firefox) is not supported.

After the last few updates on Firefox, I can no longer access meetup.com. When trying to access that site, I get a "Bad Request" message. As a side note, I have no trouble accessing that site if I use my Safari browser.

Also note that the OS that was "guessed" (10.15) was incorrect--it is MAC OS 13.2.1
