I have not noticed this before upgrading my Mac to Sequoia 15.0, using latest Firefox browser update, but "printing to PDF" which I used in the past extensively, makes a PDF file that causes the letters to be one ASCII number off. So if I type into the "search" field "p", then all the "o's" are highlighted. I can only enter a search term if I usean "ASCII number +1" technique, so I can search for "get" by typing in "fds". Numbers are searched for as in the past. This is not happening if I make a PDF using my Safari browser, all the PDF words are correct and searchable as in the past. Anyone have insights as to why this might be occurring? I will try restarting in "safe" mode and re-downloading Firefox as is suggested in some of the articles here. Thanks!

Dorando keyconfig isn't current. Shortkeys won't even install and probably won't do what I want anyway. AutoHotkey will do it, but I'd rather not use it for this.

Does anyone know how I can get a config.js to open the Library when I hit Ctrl+Shift+B?

This topic appears to show up a few times, but none of the solutions work for me (e.g. they were using A/V or "it just worked"). The error I get is also different.

This a pretty fresh install (migrating from Chrome so I'm currently re-logging into all my sites to ensure I can access everything I need.. and going through MFA hell heheheheh).

Everything is mostly fine, except for Synchrony Bank.

I go to login at https://auth.synchronybank.com/account/login, enter _any_ username or password (doesn't matter if I enter the right details or the wrong ones), and as soon as I click "sign in" I get an error page

Looking in developer console, the error reason given is NS_ERROR_NET_INTERRUPT while trying to POST to auth.synchronybank.com. Every so often I get PR_IO_TIMEOUT_ERROR but over 90% of the time it's NET_INTERRUPT.

This occurs also in private browsing and also in safe mode. I even created a new profile and tested it from there; same issue.

I've tried lots of things related to this (e.g. setting network.http.http3.enable to false), added the domain to the advanced tracking exception list, and I'm running out of ideas.

I can see traffic flowing to akamai but (it being https) I can't see what's inside the traffic. Could akamai be objecting to something in the content?

FWIW, I can login with Chrome on the same machine.

When I log into Amazon, the ID is entered as usual. When the screen changes to enter the password an additional box opens up asking for a pin as shown in the attached image. It says it is from Windows security, but also says Firefox is making the request. None of the pins I know of work. Fortunately clicking on cancel clears the box and the PW can be entered.

Is Windows Security, Firefox, Password manager, anti-virus program, etc. generating the box. Would love to have it stop popping up. Suggestions please.

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead - Multiple sites

The Issue: Hello. About a week or two ago, multiple sites (Including my personal site) started giving me a "Warning: Potential Security Risk" message (Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN) and won't let me access them. When I click "Accept the Risk and Continue," I then get a "403 Forbidden" error that says "Cloudflare" under it. These sites work fine if I load them through Chrome, and I've had two other people try this on their own Firefox browsers and the sites work fine for them.

Websites Affected: I've seen this on several different websites, but here are a few specific ones that are giving me this issue:

Things I've Tried (That didn't work):

  • Restarting Firefox/router/computer
  • Clearing browser cache/history/cookies
  • Disabling all addons/extensions
  • Starting Firefox in Safe Mode
  • Waiting 1-2 weeks to see if it would somehow fix itself
  • Changing Hambuger -> Settings -> General -> Network Settings -> Configure Proxy Access to the Internet to "No Proxy" (This was suggested in another help ticket, but didn't work for me)
  • (For my personal site) Contacting WordPress support - They said everything looked good on their end, and since it's happening with multiple sites, it's likely not them anyway

This works, but probably isn't the "correct" solution: Hamburger -> Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Enable DNS over HTTPS using -> Off (Note that this was previously set to "Default Protection," but I have the Security Risk warning if set to that)

Is this a bug with Firefox that can be fixed, or is there something that I can do on my end to fix this issue? The only other things I know of are to 1) Try uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox (But I'm worried I'd lose all my bookmarks/settings/configurations, even with my profile) or 2) Use another browser (But I really like Firefox). Thanks for the help.

After updating to v115.0.3, selected tabs and the toolbar/address bar are now bright white and overriding my Windows colors.

Is there a non-complicated way to just change the colors of those two items without messing up everything else. It really clashes with the FF dark theme and my Windows colors.

Also, tabs are no longer visually defined. I'd like to bring back the tab separators. How do I fix that as well?

I cannot print from Firefox. It worked fine, and then stopped. I'm not sure what changed. It doesn't matter what printer I use. Even printing to PDF fails. No errors appear, and nothing shows up in the printer queue. All the other applications in Windows print just fine. It's just Firefox. And just for this one Windows user.

I tried clearing the saved printer settings in the about:support page. I tried refreshing Firefox. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried uninstalling, removing the mozilla folder in %appdata%, and reinstalling Firefox. No luck.

The only time I can get it to print anything is to log into a different user account on this same PC. Printing from Firefox seems to work then.

It seems there is some user-specific printer setting/file/whatever that is messed up. I'm not sure what else to try.

Thanks.

I did a clean Windows reinstall on my computer and I forgot Mozilla account password, so I asked a password reset. It went fine, but my bookmarks and password were not syncing. I thought sync server is slow or similar, but nothing happened after 2-3 hours.

I searched on Google and found that a password reset deletes everything.

Developers! Are you f*cking serious if you don't warn the users when they are doing password reset if that will delete everything?????? I f*cking can't believe that!

I lost hundreds of passwords and bookmarks. That is f*cking insane!

I have a situation where I constantly have to send tabs from mobile Firefox to desktop Firefox. So I use Send tab to device feature. But when sending, manually clicking on the Synchronise now button in the Account menu of the toolbar of the receiving device is often needed, or else it would take a while for the tabs to be received. But I find that annoying and unintuitive.

Is there a solution for it? For instance, syncing Firefox devices more often, maybe just for the sending tabs feature because sync-now also syncs history, and bookmarks.
