I just want to open a .pdf file online . . . but Firefox insists on downloading it!

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?

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?

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.

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 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.

For awhile now when I use Google Maps on my Macbook Pro laptop (Ventura 13.4) with Firefox (currently 113.0.2), the road symbols (like interstate road symbol or state highway symbol) display as a box of dots. (See examples attached) The first attachment shows the symbols as dot boxes and the second attachment shows a similar example from Safari browser where they properly display. I have Ghostery and AdBlocker installed but turning them off doesn't seem to make any difference.

I also noticed that the interactive maps at the Phoenix airport website (https://maps.skyharbor.aero) do a very similar sort of "image blocking" (see attachment three) with the symbols they used to designate restaurants and retail etc. so probably not a Google issue per se so much as a web design thing around symbols maybe?

Is there something I can do or set in Firefox that will let the symbols display properly?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Suffering to sync with Firefox

Hello:

I have 2 profiles in use. 1 for personal use with their respective bookmarks, passwords, and extensions, and I have no trouble syncing with this one. However; profile 2 that is for work use that has its respective bookmarks, passwords and extensions, has become a nightmare.

It happens that I have both profiles on the same computer and when trying to create an account in Firefox, the system asks me to enter the email registered in profile 1, with the warning that bookmarks, passwords and extensions will be mixed.

I mention that I have migrated from Google Chorme to Firefox for speed reasons and because I use windows 7 (I don't like later versions) Now well; in Google Chrome you could create as many sessions as were registered but in Firefox you can't.

Oh! I have been working fine with Firefox but suddenly an error occurs (it has happened to me 2 times in the last 2 months) in which the program closes and all the data of my profiles stored on the pc DISAPPEARS or is deleted (including cache), when I want to open them again:

firefox.exe -P

Then I have to give myself the task of synchronizing profile 1, but profile 2 I have to be importing from my previous Google account or importing a backup Bookmark.

The option to copy and paste the data from Firefox to replace it in the path (supposedly brings with it the data of everything):

C:\ProgramData\Mozilla-1de4eec8-1241-4177-a864-e594e8d1fb38\updates\308046B0AF4A39CB

with Firefox turned off it has not worked for me. Since when opening I see 2 profiles called Default "X" and Default "Z" without data.

This is a headache that if it happens to me, it happens to millions who have 2 or more profiles.

Why can't I sync a second profile? Why do you insist that there can only be one sync per device? Is there a solution for this?

Note: I have read all the tutorials out there and the situation remains the same. Synchronization with 2 or more profiles is never described.

Thank you very much to whoever asked this question!

Hello - Firefox to Safari bookmark syncing used to work seemlessly between pc and ipad. Noticed it's no longer working. I've done all the resetting/restarting/logging out/uninstalling/reinstalling recommended. It still won't sync. I ended up installing Firefox on the iPad to get the bookmarks from PC. That sync works (takes a while sometimes). But it will not ever update the IOS from the last time it worked (maybe 3 months ago). I can erase IOS bookmarks and reload from iCloud, but the files are months old.

Has this function just been removed?

I wrote this on 13 June 2022: ...I am signed into a Firefox account. I have used this account on at least three different computers. I have downloaded the application anew at least a dozen times.

Firefox randomly, from where I sit, opens things in French rather than English. How can I keep it in English unless otherwise specified (I occasionally want German or Japanese)?

Thank you...

None of the suggestions worked. I reported that, but the thread was archived rather than answered.

How can I get all the info out of my account and try to start another that speaks English reliably?

Thank you.
