Firefox is literally the worst browser now, im so sick of opening a new tab and seeing all these woke ass news on the homepage/ads. uninstalling this total piece of trash, if you use firefox you are [derogatory]

I am using Windows 10. The Firefox on my laptop is just updated to 104.0 and I realised that I can no longer drag the slider of the scrollbar on a webpage with the touch screen of my laptop. I can still drag the sliders of the History sidebar and bookmark library though. Is this change intended? Or is my Firefox profile just messed up after the update?

Thank you.

I have 2 computers running Firefox, both running 104.0. This computer is windows 11 other windows 10.

Problem; Up until about a week ago I was able to click email links to open judicialwatch.org on this Win11 computer. Now, whenever I try to open that site (via link or direct entry) the tab closes immediately. From a link, I can see the tab open then close, from direct input it just closes when I hit enter. (The windows 10 computer has no problem.) I have searched for any settings that would show blocked web sites and cannot find any settings / listing of blocked web site. As the win11 is my primary computer, this is VERY annoying. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott

McAfee has notified me that a piece of software which is apparently from HP (HPUpdate within HP Framework) is trying to access a suspicious IP address (13.224.2.51).

An online search doesn't show this as being associated with HP but it is in an Amazon centre so it could be associated with almost anyone.

Is there anything in the Mozilla world which would help me determine whether this is a genuine problem or McAfee is just confused?

At this point my option seems to be to reinstall the my HP printer software and see what impact this has.

Started my computer this morning and tried to use Firefox and it froze. So bad that I had to restart my computer. I re-installed Firefox but it deleted my bookmarks. What do I have to do to get them back? Fortunately I did a backup on my computer before re-installing Firefox. Is there some other way to get them back other than to restore the backup? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just wish I wasn't such a Luddite when it comes to computers.

I updated my OS to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and now when I open Firefox (Version 104.0) my history comes up automatically as a sidebar. I don't want this to happen, how can I make it stop?

Even though I have blocked popups now I get repeated adverts from Firefox itself for your password manager and similar things. I get no adverts from other companies and if I cannot stop the Firefox nuisance I will change my browser once again. How do I stop these Firefox adverts? I have the latest updated Forefox and run Win 11 on a PC

i am on 64-bit linux mint20.3 i am unable to login into my google account (i am using 2-step verification on google.) just downloaded the firefox 104 version. a popup window appears on the window saying "accounts.google.com wants to authenticate you using a registered security key. you can connect and authorize one new, or cancel." but there is only Cancel button no Ok button. also i am using 'recovery key' and 'Two step authentication' methods in my firefox account. what to do? thanks.

This morning I re-installed an update to Zoom (on Linux - ElementaryOS / Ubuntu 18.04). Since installing, I've not been able to follow links from Firefox to Zoom (zoommtg links don't open the app). However, they still work from Epiphany.

The slight confounding factor is that I realised that I've been updated to FF 104 overnight, so that might be an issue.

I've been looking at network.protocol-handler.... settings in about:config, based on this article: https://superuser.com/questions/1343020/how-to-configure-firefox-open-zoom-urls-using-zoom-application#1351073

I've also been looking at xdg-settings (based on this article) https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/i83m8i/zoom_desktop_client_isnt_launching_from_browser/ which suggests the problems might be to do with xdg-settings calling /usr/share/applications/zoom.desktop when the available file is /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop However, I have not been able to alter the xdg-settings parameter - when I try: $ xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler zoommtg zoom.desktop it does not change the setting - it remains as Zoom.desktop

I should mention that the version of FF I'm running is delivered as a snap - but this was not a problem before 104 / my latest Zoom installation. Also, this version of FF has no problem opening up MS Teams meetings or Slack groups. handlers.json includes : ... "slack":{"action":4},"snap":{"action":4},"zoommtg":{"action":4},"msteams":{"action":4}}, .... so I am thinking the problem must lie somewhee else.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

thanks Andy

8/24/2022 for the last week Firefox has been opening in a small window in the left corner of the screen. I found the "fingerprint" suggestion, but that did not apply to my case. I stopped using Firefox as the default browser for a while, but when selected it for specific instances, still the same issue. This AM I upgraded to version 104.0, still the same problem.

Thanks in advance, Dave

Hi,

I'm using IPv4 as well as IPv6 addresses in my home network. But Firefox uses always the IPv4 connection when I open a website. When I open the same website in MS Edge, the IPv6 connection is used.

I've captured the network traffic during opening a website in Firefox, which is reachable over IPv4 and IPv6. First I see two DNS queries (A and AAAA) for the domain name. Both responses containing the correct IP address, and they arrive nearly at the same time at the client. Next I can see the TCP handshake. But it's send between the IPv4 address only. No IPv6 connection was attempted.

When I run the IPv6 test at https://test-ipv6.com, the IPv6 resuls are nearly fine. Only the web browser test says "Your browser has real working IPv6 address - but is avoiding using it."

When I run the same test in MS Edge, all tests are fine.

So it seems that this is not a OS or network issue. It affects Firefox only.

What I've already tried:

• Disabled all extensions
• Created a new profile
• Used the IPv6 address of the website instead of the FQDN -> Works fine.
• Checked DNS cache of Firefox (about:networking). It contains the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the requested websites

I guess that Firefox prefers the A record for some reason. But I've no idea why. Has anybody an idea what could causing this?

Thanks.

When plugshare.com loads, there is a prominent search box at the top left corner. However it is missing the menu icon (see attached pic) as well as the search icon. This is happening on 2 different machines running Ubuntu 22.04.

Please fix. Google Chrome displays just fine; see attached pic.

Apparently, an automatic upgrade was made to Firefox yesterday. Ever since than, I can no longer browse some sites I go to, including some bookmarked sites. I'd like to revert back to what I had. Can I do this? I use Win10.

Hey all , i made backup via "export passwords" via password tab and i came back to my pc to and tried to import via csv file but when i pick my csv file nothing happens , any ideas ?

on myweb site i cant see my images (www.howardberelson.com) but on other computers and my cell phone and on aol browzer i can. i refreshed firefox yesterday and it worked, this morning the problem persisted. i uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox, cleared cache and history of edge, i still have the problem

Upon opening Firefox an update was installed. Now I cannot find any of my bookmarks. How do I go back to previous version/recover? While I understand the need for updates, I don't understand it not automatically migrating important data.
