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.

For the past few days hot links in Thunderbird do not open in Firefox. Selecting a link in an email opens or brings to the fore a copy of Firefox with the link address and the wait icon but nothing else happens. I have to close Firefox, copy the link location, Past and Go in Firefox, and then the linked page appears. This behavior happens even in Troubleshoot Mode, so it is not any plugin or customization. I am also running Mozilla VPN. With VPN disabled, hot links in Thunderbird open in Firefox as expected. Now you know where to look.

Also, when I tried to add Troubleshooting Information below, nothing appeared. When I selected to option to be shown what to do, this page was replaced with other which deleted all this text, and now I am entering it all in again, which is severely frustrating. On a page where the user has entered possibly a volume of information, there should not be any sloppy risk of deleting that information due to page mishandling. Open help or assistance information in a separate tab, please. Think ahead about this stuff. You are supposed to be web design experts. Instead your web site spits in my face just when I am asking for help. Think. Plus, I had to get the Troubleshoot information manually so that is not being as automatic as it appears to be , either. Getting help should ideally be a button click, not jumping through hoops.

Slow website loading (30+ seconds) on some websites (the same ones) for over a week now. Have tried MANY things. No issues with MS Edge loading the same sites. Using Windows 10. Data copied. Help please.

Bonjour. Je n'arrive pas à ouvrir Firefox dont je me sert depuis 15 ans. Une fenêtre s'ouvre "Profil Manquant. Le profil Firefox ne peut être chargé. Il est peut être manquant ou inaccessible" Pouvez-vous m'aider. Merci par avance M.A.KRECHIEM [edited email from public community support forum]

I was able to stream news from CTV news site but for some unknown reason I cannot stream it like I used too I cannot figure out why! Something must be wrong with my setup. Please help me fix my problem.

Hello,

Google Drive today stopped loading properly. I keep getting the rotating circle or "working" in the lower left corner of the browser window. I can get it to load fine in Safari and Chrome.

Docs and sheets I already had open, I seem to be able to interact with and edit normally. But navigating the main file path in Google drive, opening folders, and opening files isn't working.

I would really prefer to not switch browsers, as my entire workflow is set up on Firefox.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Sarah

!. link to youtube only flashes then plays only audio. Full video requires opening link in a new private browser window

2. Typing into search bar for Duck Duck Go in new tab page types directly into active bar...

3. Active bar is no longer at the top but is in Bookmarks toolbar...

I suspect some update problem.

Hello,

Firefox is able to read and reproduce any video or audio streamed on the internet. So, I can record the output from firefox when it plays music from Youtube for example.

But if I want to get the original stream, before it is decoded by Firefox, I couldn't find a solution. Yet it would be enough to make a fork in the Firefox module (which identifies the codec, process the audio stream and sends the result to the audio device) and make available the raw audio data in a place where the user could know the codec and the bitrate and choose the best solution to store this stream. It is not usefull to use a vorbis encoder at 320 kb/s if the input is an mp3 encoded at 128 kb/s !

Is there any solution to do this ? Thanks.

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?

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?

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

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

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.

Firefox 143.0.3 on Windows 11 24H2. I normally run my browser window full vertical height of the screen (but not maximized). If my PC goes into screen save due to lack of activity, each time I return and it comes out of screen save, the bottom of the Firefox window has risen vertically by about 15-20 pixels, and there is now a gap between the bottom of the FF window and the bottom of the screen. If I go in/out of screen save again, then the gap increases again as the windows shrinks further. The top of the FF window doesn't move, only the bottom.

This problem doesn't happen with the window size of any other app that I use if I size the window the full height of the screen and go in/out of screen save - eg the Thunderbird window remains the full height of the screen.

Any suggestions on a possible cause and how to fix the problem? It isn't just the latest version of FF that has the problem - it was also there with previous versions.
