Hi there,

I'm using my PC for local web development. I use Firefox as my regular browser and recently, in order to distinguish between personal time and development time, I've established a new profile just for development purposes.

The local website I can't reach is "site.local.dev". My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 and that URL points to a local IP on my network (resolved via /etc/hosts file on my PC).

Funny thing is that: - In dev-profile: site.local.dev does not work => "Unable to connect" and the URL bar shows https://site.local.dev even if I force it to http:// - In personal-profile: site.local.dev does work :P

I have tried with CLI tools like "wget", "hosts", "ping", "telnet" and so on and the site loads ok. Even I have used Dillo (damn simple web browser) and the site loads ok also.

Things I've tried so far: - Suggestions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can - Suggestions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011327 (similar issue, not exactly the same).

It must be a silly thing but I'm out of options now. Perhaps anybody has faced to this situation in the past: any suggestion on this issue?.

Thanks in advance, Ibon.

Hi,

I got an issue that bookmarks are saved in the library, but this doesn't reflect on the Bookmark toolbar.

I have already removed the entire profile, did a reinstall .. nothing seems to reset it. When I perform a backup, the entries are also in the backup json.

I hope somebody can help, this started happening recently it seems.

Thanks in advance!

I have had Firefox for years, and now it is seriously messing up. Firstly, when i open it up as usual, it opens for a second, then vanishes. Secondly, my settings are set for Firefox to restore my previous pages, but it does not anymore. Thirdly, my task manager is showing that there are 12 Firefox windows already open, ( which you can see by the attachment). Can anyone help in this matter please? Please note also that i am a basic computer user, so any help offered would have to be as basic as possible. Thank you.

In the past, when ICS files were in a mail, I had been asked what to do, and could open them in OUTLOOK. This option has been apparently cancelled and it only asks where to save the file, without any option to open it directly. Furthermore, when I try to modify it in the "settings" and change it to "Always ask" I can't find no ICS files nor OUTLOOK SCHEDULE files. Please advice. Thanks

This is the first time, that an update lost all of my tabs. Is there a way to access previous sessions, other than the most recent one? I would like to access a session from last week, and see if I can get my tabs back. I'm very unhappy about this and I've not been able to restore my tabs. The current tabs are place holders, and they do the reflect what I had before the update.

The latest version is displaying a download dropdown after a download, and I can't figure out how to stop it. In previous versions the answer was to go to Tools Menu > Options > General Tab > Download Section, but that doesn't seem to exist any more.

How do I stop that annoying dropdown from appearing?

I just got a new computer, and Firefox did work at first, but then something happened, I don't know what, and then Firefox just stopped working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, did Refresh, tried to start it up in Troubleshoot mode, and nothing works. It'll open, and it'll show bookmarks, but if I try to go to a website, it just sits there and doesn't do anything. Doesn't act like it loads no matter how long I let it sit. I've tried to do about:config to maybe turn off ipv6 or http3, i type in about:config and it doesn't load. I tried to go to settings or to view passwords and it just puts in about:login...... in the address bar and just sits there. I'm not sure what's going on and any advice would be welcome. I've uninstalled all AV and am currently just using windows defender firewall, which I have also disabled as well and it didn't make a difference. Any advice or tips or fixes would be more than welcome.

Firefox also doesn't shut down when I close it. I have to close it in task manager in order to start it up again

In China (Mainland) the Firefox Now showing both Associate Press and Russian sputnik concerning Ukraine as "Deceptive Site" (e.g. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-europe-nato-49abe49e9b35833a385fe10db802dc5a). So I have 2 questions.

1 Who is responsible for the collection of Deceptive Site in China (for those who don't know, Chinese Firefox is run and supported by "Beijing Zhimou firefox", not mozilla) 2, and more importently. what information would it need to be sent to use the "Deceptive Site" function (or more sepsifictly, is firefox sending what sites I visit to its partner? and if yes what, and who)

I have a desktop and laptop both with FF installed and synced and they ALWAYS load identical. Yesterday I set up my my new desktop in my office and I installed FF and when I logged onto my account my FF stayed the default color. This never happened before, and as I turned and looked at my old desktop I saw that it too now had the wrong theme. So I went into my kitchen were I have my laptop set up (it just upgraded itself to win 11 and I am using it as a training tool) the FF on it was no longer appearing correctly.

I have since spent 30 some hours uninstalling/reinstalling FF/ deleting my profile, remaking my profile, re-deleting my profile and making another new profile using a different email and when I install FF on ANY OTHER pc it will not load correctly, especially themes and add ons.

What the hell is causing this and how do I fix it??

On every PC I used my Revo Uninstaller Pro to uninstall FF including file remnants and then meticulously scrubbed repeatedly each PC for any leftover registry and file remnants, and then I used my file eraser program to wipe all the file slack.

If this is going to be an issue why have FF ? I spend enough time now keeping Edge disabled and dont want my fav primary browser to become a "High Maintenance" browser having to spend time EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY PC fixing this, repeatedly. Its like having to add water to your cooling system every time you start up your car before you can use it.

Any help would be enormously appreciated.

The trouble shooting information below is for the first install tonight after getting home and making the newest profile and it is seemingly staying correct, the next install on my laptop is incorrect, it has one deleted theme installed yet is "using" the default theme and the correct theme I picked is not even showing.

After the latest update, I can't open Microsoft applications. I have to save them to a file. When I get an email with a Word or Excel file attached, I HAVE to save it. Before the update, the system always opened it so I could look at it first.

I went to settings and Applications, but in the window where it says, "Choose how Firefox handles the files you download from the web or the applications you use while browsing." There are no Microsoft options.

I was able to change the PDF docs to open rather than save, but I need to do the same thing with Word, Excel, PPT, etc.

Please help

Since the last update, when I download a file, it always displays the complete download list. Prior to this it only displayed the list when I clicked the download symbol. Is this some new feature, it's very annoying, or a bug? How do I turn it off, I checked the setting and can't find anything? An Internet search said to look in the Download area and uncheck the feature, I could not find anything to uncheck.
