Why do a number of familiar functions in familysearch.org in a tab in Firefox in Windows 10 in a laptop computer fail in the last few weeks with the message: Oops, something went wrong. Please refresh the page. topped by a triangle with an exclamation point inside? Question 1.

Is this message generated by Firefox? Question 2.

Could this failure be caused by a timing out of some impatient wait loop? Question 3.

When I start familysearch.org in a tab in the Edge browser all these familiar functions work. I have noticed that my whole system seems to be running slower in the last few months. I have been running familysearch.org in a tab in Firefox for years without this failure. Refreshing the page as advised by the message never works to accomplish the function. The functions in familysearch are Details for a person, Sources for a person, or the Tree for a person. There were even cases a week or more ago when the Details for a person were visible only down to the display of family where the error message would appear in place of the family information without affecting the earlier data.

Can you recover lists of my passwords from firefox after my computer was purged from viruses?

My desktop computer was infected with malware when I was called by a man supposedly from Paypal stating that I has been erroneously charged with over $600 of merchandise and he wanted to get information to refund the money to me. I gave him information (sadly) to enter my computer outfitted with Firefox running on Windows 11. After consulting my bank, they said that there was no way for Paypal to refund the money as he wished to do. Apparently he was infecting my computer while we spoke. I realized that is was a scam shortly after I hung up and shut the computer off. The next morning I took it to our local tech center and they 'cleaned' it. Now I find all of my passwords stored in Firefox are gone. Do you have a way of recovering them?

Hey everyone!

I just noticed that post FF's 150 update, I can no longer drag and drop folders into my DSM window. This has been a non issue for over 6 years and all of a sudden, poof. I did find that you can still to this on Safari, but long term, Mozilla and Synology need to address this. There's already a post on the Synology fourms about it and I've emailed their Support Team to see what they have to day. Posting this here in case anyone has found a workaround in the Config settings pane.

Thanks! --Brian

Hello! Over the last few years, I was using Owl Exchange to access my school and work email accounts which couldn't be added regularly.

Now that I've upgraded, I'm not able to add these accounts using the EWS method. I run into all kinds of errors, or Thunderbird is unable to detect the kind of account.

Yet, my existing IMAP accounts work great with Owl. How can I easily convert these to work with Thunderbird EWS natively?

Unable to restore bookmarks in Linux Mint 22

Dell desktop running Mint Mate 22. Bookmarks missing about 50% of bootups. Saved bookmarks to both HTML and JSON during an occasion they did appear, when they next were missing attempted to restore them via Library pop-up (Manage bookmarks). I could not determine a path to direct the system to either locally saved file. In Library, selected Restore, which then asks me to choose file, but none of the data fields accepted or acted upon input. re-installed Firefox but same result. Then clicked on the saved HTML file, multiple screens flashed on the display, with multiple items in the tray. The final result was the bookmarks were all displayed as expected, but since the problem has been inconsistent, unknown whether they will display on future bootups.

Wish to have guidance on using the Library pop-up to restore saved bookmarks when they are missing. Perhaps some knowledgeable user could post a step-by-step through the restore process.

"Save As" portal makes Windows' context menu text invisible

Hi!

Really weird issue I've noticed with my Firefox-based browsers.

Essentially, whenever I am within the "Save As" feature of my browser, I am unable to realistically do anything that requires the context menu (e.g. creating a folder, renaming). I can still do things, but each entry in the context menu has no text.

I am on Windows 11, and am using the most up-to-date verison of both Firefox-based browsers. I do have a lot of customisation software and/or registry changes, but this issue has started to show up after I've spent a while with these changes already implemented. I don't think it's the problem as I have tested without each of these, but I thought worth mentioning if anyone knows of any potential conflicts (and to clear up any confusion from the screenshots).

An example of the above that I thought would affect this is a registry fix to enable the "show more options" setting on the context menu to be selected by default whenever I right click (steps followed here: https://www.howtogeek.com/759449/how-to-get-full-context-menus-in-windows-11s-file-explorer/). I've just tested by reversing this change and issue persists, and like I mentioned issue did not occur previously when this fix had already been applied. I hope that's not redundant information, I'm just trying to give as much info as possible!

I typically use Floorp, but when I noticed this issue I have tried and verified that this issue also happens on regular old Firefox.

Other browsers I have installed and verified this issue is NOT present on:

  • Microsoft Edge
  • Chrome
  • Pale Moon

The issue only seems to happen on FireFox and Floorp.

I have attached some images of what it is meant to look like ("expected_context_menu.png") and what it looks like on FireFox based browsers ("real_context_menu01.png").

Initially I though the menu was just useless, but it does appear I can actually use this menu without text as normal. I tested this by using the second-from-bottom option, and then the top-most option that marks the option for "New Folder" on the working context menu. I was able to create a folder as expected doing this ("real_context_menu02.png" and "real_context_menu03.png"), which suggests that it's just an issue with the text displaying.

Anyone have any ideas? Of course, I can provide any info about the OS customisation steps I've taken if needed!

I'd appreciate any help!

I've never uploaded here before so in case the images don't show the image name, they are uploaded in the order: "real_context_menu01.png" "real_context_menu02.png" "real_context_menu03.png" "expected_context_menu.png"

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

Some faces of a 3d box are now invisible. The HTML is correct and the Inspector shows the faces in pale blue correctly. This worked for many months before the latest update to Firefox. I tried it in Safari and it worked, but I am used to Firefox. I tried Firefox for Developers and it worked until the update today, 5/1/26. Please help.
