OS: Mac OS 10.14.5 Firefox Version: 113.0.2

Settings gives me multiple options for handling a .pdf file. The first three are (1) Open in Firefox; (2) Always ask; and (3) Save File.

If I select "Open in Firefox," the file will open in my existing window. If I select "Save File," the file downloads to my desktop.

The problem arises when I select "Always ask." If I then select "Open in Firefox," the file opens (in a new tab!) and simultaneously downloads to my desktop!

Is this a system glitch, or am I somehow doing something wrong?

Since the task limit option seems to have been obliterated? I believe the many more "programs" and the events they create for windows to handle is causing all sorts of virtual memory problems. Changing win10 advanced system settings from performance for programs to background services seems to have restored Firefox performance in my case, see: 10 advanced system settings win10 advanced system settings performance programs vs background services Is there an about:config option that would allow one to achieve the same "programs" limiting option as before? This laptop has 16 gig of memory and I used to successfully have even better Firefox performance with windows virtual memory turned off, but eventually I would get crashes. I can understand why Firefox was modified in a way to better localize the source of crashes, but in my case it has degraded performance. Thanks Mozilla for a great product I have valued for years!!!!

Why has this started up again? Pdf files are automatically downloading to my computer when all I want to do is look at the file. So many files that now need to be trashed after looking at them. This problem has happened in the past, but was resolved, only now I am finding it happen again. I do not want to have files saved unless I want to save them, not Firefox deciding that any file I open should be saved. I have Windows 11 & Firefox Version 113.0.1. Is there a way to revert to an older version of Firefox?

I go to youtube, open a video and the audio plays just fine, except there is no visual. The video says its playing and I can hear it normally but I can't see anything. Subtitles show up, but the place where the video is supposed to be is just blank, the same as the background of the page. Weirdly if I click the settings button on youtube, the one next to the sign in or account button, the video will display as long as that menu is up. If I close the menu the video goes away.

I have refreshed firefox, deleted and reinstalled firefox, removed all my extensions, turned hardware acceleration off (and then back on when it didn't work) as was recommended in a similar post a few years ago, and restarted my computer. Youtube still won't show me a video. It works fine on chrome, just not firefox.

I uploaded a screenshot of an ad, which doesn't play but shows the outline of the video player, a screenshot of a normal video where the area the video should be in is just more indistinct background, a screenshot of the video appearing normally when I have the settings menu open, and a screenshot of the captions loading properly over an empty void.


Edit: I installed the Enhancer for Youtube extension? Which I haven't ever installed beofre? And now Youtube works? Why

2nd Edit: Its broken again. I changed literally nothing, just restarted my computer for an update but im getting blank screens again

I have numerous profiles, and I have certain ones used to transfer updated files to the others.

The one thing I'm not sure about is browser settings transfer. Because some these profiles have different addons, I don't want their settings transferred, just the browser settings.

Which folder/file can I safely transfer for this?

Hi,

I'm trying to configure equipment on my local network. Some of the equipment does NOT support https. Firefox continuously changes the address http://192.168.xxx.xxx to https://192.168.xxx.xxx, and the connection fails!

I have tried the various options in HTTP Only Mode, including entering Exceptions. I have also temporarily changed network.trr.mode from 5 to 1 (and 0), but nothing is working!

What can I do?

Thanking you Pedro

We downloaded the GPO Templates for AD and looking to customize Firefox.

We would like to disable Forms and Autofill: Autofill addresses Autofill credit cards

Also would like to lock down so they can't reenable if possible.

We would like to do this all through GPOs if possible. I found these in the about:config: extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled extensions.formautofill.creditCards.enabled

But again want to do through the GPO. Is this possible?

Side note while working on GPOs, I set Exceptions for the popup blocker and they are not showing up in the browser. I also filled out to remove Search Engines but they all still appear in the browsers. These two GPO settings don't appear to be working.

It even happened while I was playing MMOs, making it crash.

I am using Zone Alarm Antivirus + Firewall, which does not find any malware on my computer. I NEVER use MSN news, so for the time being I placed the site on block list.

I am very concerned with FF (up to date) launching on its own, regardless which site it opens; that could be a breach of security in FF code itself.

Hello.

Logging in has been an issue amongst other things. Please help!

For my main email address, TravisHoule@gmail.com

It has been impossible to login. On other accounts after doing a forgot search and setting my password, your application has stated the password that had literally just been created, did not work as a credential.

Lately, my network has seen many many attacks. Though right now it seems a barebones router has been cleaned and a laptop, in an attempt to even download Firefox 64 for Windows, has been impossible from your website using the Android Firefox App. Is my phone hacked such that it is not at the correct url for your website?

Secondly the device started downloading a tar - that was stopped. (Note, all of this is just to use a clean install of windows and. Firefox browser (to be transferred by phone to the laptop)

Next, a new Sync account was created. This was to create a collection to assume a new user agent such that a tar download would not be initialized first.

To me, this seems all in error. The version or versions of applications that have been downloaded, must all be wrong, and must all be doing this on purpose? It seems as if nothing is going right as to looking to fix the hacked network on hand, per se.

Chrome 114.0.5735.61 Firefox Version is 113.2.0

SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN only when click link, but not when type URL

When I click a link to https://drive-image.com, Firefox gives me the security error: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat … (funda kabanzi)

When I click a link to https://drive-image.com, Firefox gives me the security error:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to drive-image.com. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for drive-image.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: secure.r-tt.com, www.drive-image.com, www.r-studio.com, www.r-tt.com, www.r-undelete.com, www.r-wipe.com

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

But here's what makes it so bizarre: Clicking the link gives the error, but if I type that URL into the address bar, it works perfectly fine. I can even right-click the link > Open Link in New Tab (or Window) and it works fine. I originally found this because I searched "r drive image" in DuckDuckGo and that link was the first result. But it also happens in a very simple test HTML page I wrote, which just contains a link to that page.

When drive-image.com is loaded, it immediately redirects, so that the page actually shown is https://www.drive-image.com/.

Some more info:

  • This is on my laptop (Windows 10 Home 64-bit), in Firefox (up to date, 113.0.2 (64-bit)).
  • It also happens in latest Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox codebase.
  • Also happens on my other computer, running Windows 10 Home 64-bit, in Firefox and Mullvad Browser.
  • I created a new profile and it still happens using that.
  • I turned off uBlock and Ghostery extensions, it still happens.
  • I added an exception in Firefox Settings: Enhanced Tracking Protection for drive-image.com and it still happens.
  • It does not happen in Chrome or Edge.
  • It happens with my VPN connected or disconnected, on both computers, which use different VPN servers when connected.

I've gotten the infrequent security error clicking what looks like a legitimate link before and shrugged it off, going elsewhere. But this time knowing the site was legit, I messaged their support and eventually ended up at this point after much investigating, and suspect something serious is amiss.

Images of the error are attached, along with an image of my test page's text if that matters (since I can't attach a text file).

Does anyone else get this error by clicking a link to that site? Is this a Firefox bug/issue, or an actual problem with their website/certificate?

With the latest update, I am unable to use the "Tools" button on Google search (to do things like results from past week, month, etc.). I have disabled all extensions and restarted the browser to no avail. What's odd is, I am able to use the Tools in a Private Firefox page with or without extensions enabled. But on my normal browser, the button doesn't work regardless.

Perhaps it was timing and the issue just started occurring when the update happened but I'm unsure how to solve it.

Thanks.
