Firefox Community Forum

I have an account on a website I visit near-daily. Despite having both cookies for this website persist and the password supposedly saved, the last three times I've visited the website I've been logged out and the password is nowhere to be found. Having to switch between my password manager and browser is annoying beyond description.

(That's actually not true. I have quite a few choice descriptors for this program, but have chosen to omit them)

I use Firefox and now Google follows asking to Login with Google. Can I eliminate Google or better yet separate Google from Firefox like I had before after some update or corruption must have happened. Google is fine but I only want it when I ask not when Firefox wants? Any help is appreciated!

I have a Lenovo Chromebook and Firefox will not download, I have tried doing this from the Play store and even though I click to "download to this device" it keeps downloading the mobile app, I really need the full app please.

See the attached. Usually when the process gets above 1gb I kill it, but I've watched it get over 7gb before. This is a terrible nuisance that other browsers handle with ease. Why does Firefox allow such selfishness through your browser? You have the ability to allow or disallow anything! Get on top of it! I say this because more than a decade ago you had the same problem on Windows as you now have on Linux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET A FUCKEN BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP HIRING COMPLETE MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will soon be replacing and then banning Mozilla as an option on all Linux platforms and hopefully everyone else will ban you worthless retarded fucks too!!!!!!!!!

Firefox went through a pretty major change recently. i could see I had to change my toolbar customisation back to how I wanted it. However, I have about half a dozen add-ons controlled via icons on the browser, but all the icons are gone and I see no way to get them back.

I don't care about cookies Cookie Editor Disable Javascript Tab Auto Refresh uBlock Origin

Until the recent Firefox update I could switch these add-ons on or off whenever I wanted via icons on the menu toolbar. I now see no way to get these controls back.

I'm referring to when you hit ctrl-d or click the star, click the location dropdown, and select the choose option to scroll through your bookmark folders to select where to put the bookmark, my menu is tiny and annoyingly easy to scroll too far in without realizing till it's too late. Quick google didn't seem to have a solution, and the support didn't recognize the verbiage at least (not sure if that's on me for wording it weird or what, I'm pretty new to FIrefox and still have growing pains from the switch from the now anti-adblock browser I abandoned). Anyone?

Why does Firefox block so many news and current affairs links? Is this censorship? When I am blocked by Firefox I can usually rely on Opera to open them immediately and without any fuss. I'm fast losing confidence in Firefox as my default browser.

I think I know the answer to this question already, because all my searches come up empty, but is there a way to show the count of blocked elements on the shield icon? Obviously you can click on the shield itself and see, but I'd much prefer to display the info live similar to how uBO, AdGuard, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Disconnect, et al do it.

If that ability isn't available yet, is there an official method to put in a feature request? I doubt I'd be the first one making the request, but perhaps I can add a vote for it to become a reality. ETP has to be about 10 years old at this point, it's surprising that option wasn't added a long time ago.

I have difficulty with a number of sites when trying to login. An example - yesterday I was unable to login to my account on STARZ immediately after changing my password. I switched to Chrome and I was able to complete the process. On STARZ it just acted like I had not entered my username and password. On vistana.com, when I initially put in the URL, I see a message box flash, then I get a blank window. Again, it works fine with Chrome.

Ideas? Ways to track what is going on? Any ideas appreciated! I would like to continue using Firefox, but it is very frustrating to have these login issues.

TIA, Ken

It has been working fine - now I get this message:

I've tried making Google an exception, to no avail.

When opening a new tab, can you set Firefox not to put the cursor into the address bar?

FYI I work all day on a relatively large screen, and I really do not want to set my eye focuses on the left top corner where address bar is shown. For this reason, I am using the tree style vertical tabs, and when I search, I use the center search box instead of address bar search.

Firefox 2nd window w/YouTube. When I click in it, it becomes tgt window for external URLs; I must click in main window so such links open there. Can I mark YouTube window "don't open links here", or mark main window "always open links here"?

I just switched from Ubuntu 22.04 to Fedora 40 and copied my files over, including my Firefox profile and KDE settings. I have hit a few snags, such as that the language setting is totally ignored, but the most annoying is that the addess bar stopped autocompleting URLs I type and instead just flickers the suggestions popup away whenever I type. I tried troubleshooting mode and for every new tab the autocomplete works once but once I type the second letter it flickers the suggestions away again and doesn't work. To me it looks like the issue is that the suggestions popup maybe messes with the window focus as I noticed that menus and such seem to be implemented as borderless windows in Firefox. I also tested it in about:home using the search box there (which redirects your input to the address bar) and in there the first typed letter also autocompletes and after that each new typed letter just flickers the suggestions away for a split-second.

Incase it helps, I installed firefox-dev from the4runner's COPR "firefox-dev"

I recently went to a website I normally visit but accidentally misspelled the url which took me to a deceptive website. Luckily, Firefox was able to detect the site as a security threat and did not allow connection.

About 5 mins after, my windows defender caught a Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml in the \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0efjymat.default-release\cache2\entries\. I immediately quarantined and removed it.

I understand that it could be a false positive since I read that windows defender usually catches cache files that may look suspicious to it. I have to wonder though is it still possible for deceptive website cache files to get downloaded despite getting blocked by Firefox?

Note: I have ublock extension and my Firefox browser version is 131.0.2 64-bit

Apparently there's a new PDF feature that shows up on the right in a sub-window whenever I try to view a PDF. "Now you can highlight your PDFs!" it screams. Unfortunately I can't use it nor can I get rid of all the "real estate" that it takes up. I'm using a fully-updated FF browser on an ASUS E410 with Win11 H23. I've tried every possible option to change the FF magnification or my screen size. NOTHING WORKS. Before this thing intruded my space for viewing PDFs or changing PDF forms, everything was fine. Now I am forced to find another solution See attached.

How do I install Firefox to "Program files" instead of the user's appdata folders ?? (this is for a Windows 10 PC) There doesn't seem to be a prompt from the installation asking where I would like to have it installed. Thank you
