With a recent update of Firefox Developer Edition to version 117.0b9 i keep getting extremely annoying popups on all sites, asking me if I want to translate stuff.

I don't want to store unnecessary settings in my browser, related to exceptions to websites/languages that I want vs. does not want to translate.

I want to completely disable translations, globally. Forever. Two questions:

- Why there is no "disable translations globally" checkbox in the newly added popup? - Is there an about:config hack to do disable translations globally, for all languages, for all websites, and forever?

thanks in advance

When I look at my history for a period other than "Today", it starts off with entries more recent than what I want. For example, if I click on "Older than 6 months" it starts off with hundreds of entries that are URLs I went to DURING the last 6 months -- but only a small minority of them in fact. Why does it do this? Is it just a bug?

Also, I notice that in the menu "Organize" there are things like "Cut", "Copy", and "Paste". What are they for? And what does "Restore" do in the menu "Import and Backup"?

The "Digital Advisor" page on vanguards website (after logging in) seems to default to a white background even when in dark mode, resulting in the page being unreadable due to the light gray/off-white text. It seems to only be on the digital advisor page, though. When viewing other accounts or sections, dark mode seems to work correctly.

I've just installed Firefox Developer. I cannot get Mozilla VPN added to it. Can you help? Do I have to remove Mozilla VPN from the old Firefox installation before it will work?

Also, can I run both Firefox and Firefox Developer at the same time? I'm concerned that Profile entries an other variables might be corrupted.

Last, are there any articles or videos available to help users learn how to use FxDeveloper?

TIA

For some reason, all of a sudden, the auto-fill for passwords and other things does not work. They appear for about 1 second or less, not enough time to "click' on it and then it disappears.

I have no idea what is wrong. My firefox is up-to-date. I have to manually type every password, etc. on various pages and it is extremely annoying.

Please help!

Thanks,

I am unable to log into Google Drive using Firefox (W11) Google wants me to uninstall and reinstall FF

There's quite a few help articles that leave me with a queasy feeling. I have saved passwords, extensions and a huge number of bookmarks. I don't want to lose anything (partly because I don't think this will solve the problem)

I'd appreciate a step-by-step on how to FULLY backup prior to uninstall/reinstall. Also, if there is anything special about how to unintall other than using the Windows uninstall. And, if there's something I'm going to have to do to get my passwords, extensions and bookmarks back.

Good day.

I have created a custom Search Engine via a GPO.

The search engine is added to Firefox without issue. However, when a user enters in a search with a space, Firefox replaces the space with a "plus" instead of a %20. The search engine does not know how to interpret a "plus," so the search engine returns 'no results found.' I use the same search string in a Chrome GPO, and it works as Chrome replaces a space with a %20. Is there a way I can tweak the Search engine GPO to use %20 instead of a "plus" for a space?

Thanks.

Same as the question.

The display shows some icons on the last tabs I opened but it seems only some basic website layout is loaded but all the details are gone. Like text, button borders, even the exit, fullscreen and minimize buttons. I have seen that this has been an issue for quite some time before so I am looking if there is a fix or a workaround. I have and Nvidia graphics card and drivers if that means anything. And my swap file is 20 GB and my RAM is 16 so the space shouldn't be a problem. It gets fixed when I turn off Firefox but not when I refresh tabs.

The crazy thing is that when I take a screenshot inside firefox (with firefox integrated screenshot option, like when I press right click and then take screenshot. I can see the text so it seems like it is a display problem but this only happens with firefox and not other apps.

Appreciate all the help. I will ask of ubuntu formums next if I don't find a solution here.

Thank you all for reading and answering!

After a recent update, I tried to use the Task Manager to view my running extensions and see WHICH extension was using a lot of memory.

I noticed that I was persistently redirected to "about:processes" instead.

Upon doing some research, I found this... https://techdows.com/2023/07/firefox-removes-about-performance-in-favor-about-processes.html https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1836191

I cannot believe this.

Why remove an incredibly useful tool, just because you feel like the other one is "better?"

about:processes is good, but gives NO option to view individual memory or CPU usage per each INDIVIDUAL extension.

Either bring the old Task Manager back, or combine both of their functionality into one page.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I will be reverting back to the previous version.

I cannot understand why devs feel the need to completely cut and kill perfectly useful and harmless tools. This is very frustrating.

I do a LOT of research. That said, I guess I could go through MONTHS of history, but it would take forever to find them again. I happened to have two windows open, one with all my tabs, while the new window only had three tabs open. I needed to restart my Win 10 computer for a late security update, and yes, I did/do have my settings set to retain all open tabs. Well, when I went to shut down Firefox ver. 117.0 64bit, I closed the window with all my Important tabs down first. And lastly, the window with only the 4 tabs.

There was NO WARNING, NO POP-UP, NOTHING, that I was about to lose over 50 tabs!!!! Some having been opened for months (no, I don't shut my computer off unless I have to). So, the next time I opened Firefox, all I saw was 4 tabs.

THIS ISSUE needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY. People NEED to know about this bug until fixed or a TWO LEVEL WARNING GIVING OUT VIA POP-UP, that they will lose ALL OF THE TABS if they shut down the wrong window first.

I run a small online photographic gallery. There is a problem when using a Firefox browser all other browsers display the page correctly. At the bottom of the thumbnails there is a date which is added when the photo is submitted to the gallery. With the Firefox the date is displayed incorrectly. (See attached photo). Any idea why Firefox is not displaying dates correctly?

I have a huge audio issue that has plagued me for months now. Whenever I open a video on Youtube there is often no audio for about 20-30 seconds after playing the video. Sometimes the audio doesn't play at all and I gotta reload the video. When the audio does decide to cut in it's completely out of sync. Skipping to a spot in the video does seem to fix that issue. Sometimes I'll be playing a video and after a certain point the audio will just stop. The video itself will keep playing but there will be no sound like it's muted. I'll need to reload to fix this. It used to be fine for years than suddenly earlier this year it started doing this. If I remember correctly it started after a windows update, but no idea if it's connected or not. This ONLY happens with Youtube. I have tested this in other places: Magellan, Twitch VODs, Vimeo, Pornhhub yada yada. Jokes aside, pretty much everything works normally except Youtube.

And before someone sends me this link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues and just says "try this." I have gone through everything posted there. I have tried refreshing firefox. I have tried using 0 addons (even though it worked fine with all them before). I have tried reinstalling. I have tried seemingly every video suggestion under the sun.

I am at my wits end. I REALLY don't want to use Chrome, or any other Chromium based browser but given that I browse the site almost daily this has been a huge headache that I am dealing with daily and it is getting harder to not look for other options. Can anyone help fix this?

I have restarted Firefox to no avail. I wish not to uninstall and re-install as I have several important bookmarks I don't want to get rid off.

This one download keeps persisting. When I click the x, nothing happens. When I try to cancel it, nothing happens. It doesn't make any progress and doesn't do anything else aside from prevent me from downloading other files. It is really beginning to stress me out.

Please help.

Factory reset android phone, trying to sync with my account. Tells me my password is wrong, but it's the SAME as what's stored in the cookie! If I try to change it, it tells me whatever I've entered as a new password is wrong? Can't win!

View bookmarks with one click (i.e. from a top level interface control)

I would like to be able to view my bookmarks (not the toolbar) with one click and then open a bookmark with the second click. Is this possible?

The interface has top level controls for a promotional "feature" called "Pocket"; the extensions menu of all things; "toggle reader view" (which inexplicably opens some kind of FAQ page and which has forced me to retype this question by opening something else in the window instead of merely changing the display of the current window), and "list all tabs"—basically a bunch of features that I imagine very very very few people ever use. But no button for bookmarks? What am I missing?

I bought my computer a year ago or so, but about 3or4 month's ago I turned my competer on and noticed my task bar was different. my Firefox logo was always in the left bottom corner of my task bar. and my media player also. But when I turned it on it was in the middle of my task bar, along with the little search bar just leftofit and the media player logo. And at the top right corner my little picture of my logo was gone. instead now there is some words that say sign in. which was never their before. I don't how to make right. PLEASE HELP ME, thank you

1. Because I am still experiencing the problem described here, I cannot access private content or post in Discourse Discourse.
2. Furthermore, although I have posted at least a dozen times in Support Support, Support's own search engine only turns up two when I search for my handle. DuckDuckGo DuckDuckGo finds over 20 of my posts.
3. The controls on this site behave differently from other sites that I frequent. For example, any other website would have allowed me to insert the links above by highlighting the text to display, clicking the link icon and pasting in the URL. Instead, I had to select "External Link" in the presented dialog to enter the URL, then cut the selected text from the Support Article field and pate it into the Text to Display field and finally reselect External Link. If the numbering format in this post doesn't llok right, It's because there is no Preview option to check the formatting before posting.

When clicking a web link from the "Finder" (and Firefox is inactive/closed) a blank google search page opens. If Firefox is already open the desired link will open
