I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I am unable to type in numbers in the Vanguard Portfolio Tester boxes. This is a recent issue because previously I had no problem with that function. I can do it using Google Chrome but not using Firefox. Is this a Vanguard issue or Firefox issue?

When searching queries, this error will come up; however, when searching full length URLs it works and sends me directly to the website. I've looked through the Q/As and they all recommend clearing cache/cookies and messing with the history settings to resolve the problem. However, after doing all that and messing with other settings I cannot seem to understand why this started to happen.

When in private browsing mode it works fine and I can ask whatever and I receive all the possible websites to click on. It's just on normal browsing that I receive the error message. Am I going to need to just uninstall Firefox and reinstall to fix this? Or maybe there's something else I can try out. Thanks!

Error in Question: The page isn’t redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I have followed the steps in the "Prevent Firefox from starting automatically" article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-starts-automatically-when-i-restart-window

But Firefox keeps starting automatically when I restart my computer. Attached is an image of how the settings are now.

What should I do? This is a bit annoying. I don't use Firefox as my main browser but I work as a customer success manager for an online platform and always need to do some tests on Firefox, but I don't want it to start automatically when I turn on my computer.

I'll for instructions.

Thank you

I have clicked the 'always ask where to save download' box, but the save files to downloads is still active. How do I get it to ask me where to download to every time?

Hi,

I'm on Arch Linux and use uinput to create key events. It works reliably for >12months in all applications and under all circumstances except in Firefox where some key events are skipped non-deterministically. My test case is:

in a text field, emit `<ctrl down>a<ctrl up>123456789987654321<left>...<left>` with 9 times `<left>`. Sometimes a 9 is missing and sometimes the cursor is further to the right than expected.

This happens every 8th try or so, which is too frequent to not break the user experience.

What I have tried: - multiple PCs (2 with this issue and 1 without) - Troubleshoot Mode - `window.onkeydown=(e)=>console.log(e)` (events are missing)

Since I've only ever seen repeated characters/keys disappear and never when writing manually, I would guess there is some kind of event cleanup algorithm kicking in. (the events are emitted without any delays)

I would really like to fix this issue because Firefox is my favorite browser. Any idea how to track it down?

Been perfect for years. However, recently (2/3 months) when attempting to make a purchase online using my normal bank debit card, I am sometimes asked for verification. On entering the "Correct" details and the "Correct" PIN sent to me by my bank, the verification will not work. I have had several long conversations with my bank who have established nothing is wrong either with my banking or their system. Their investigation shows the problem lies with my browser ie. "Firefox". This is causing me untold misery and prevents me purchasing online with my bank. I have no idea how to find the issue or certainly how to fix it. Otherwise my pc is working just fine. Windows 10. I really hope you can throw some light on this. I suspect it has occurred since a Firefox update was installed!!!! William Burns

Suddenly, I found I could not access Wall St Journal through my public library website using Firefox: I had one-time accessed Wash Post through the same site vs. daily accessing WSJ and after that any access would lead me to WP and not offer WSJ as a choice. Per the public library advice, I switched to Edge and immediately could access WSJ per usual and did not have the problem as with Firefox. Why? I have also had some sites which could not be accessed through Firefox but only through another browser like Edge.

Hi, My computer was having some issues and I thought that I transfer everything to a flash drive to transfer my information to a new computer. Come to find out it didn't transfer over to the flash drive. So everything is lost. My book marks and my saved web sites and passwords to them. I was wondering is there any way that you can help to retrieve them?

Just curious, how long does it take to get a firefox upgrade/update through Microsoft store? Firefox 118 came out on 9/26/23 and is nowhere to be found through the Microsoft store a day later on 9/27/23.

I can't change the name of one of my firefox profiles. I have an error where the name is too long and it cannot be changed. Is there any way to do this other than creating a new profile and deleting the old one?

When i open a picture from a page, and want to save it on my computer, I right click on the picture to save it. At that very same second, Firefox freeze and I need to open the activity manager to close it.

What also confuse me there, when I find Firefox, there is a number behind the name, like: Firefox(7) Does it mean that 7 Firefox is opened in the background?

What is the problem?

To save a picture now, I need to use Edge.

My dual monitor system is now requiring me to double click Firefox to work in that add on monitor... WHY ??? .. Has something changed that now makes me click on Firefox twice to be able to access it on my add on monitor ? I have MS Edge running on the primary laptop monitor and Firefox on the larger add on monitor and lately, I have to select the Firefox browser twice before ' focus ' seems to respond.

I have found many sites that work better with one or the other browsers and have my email and a few others on my larger add on monitor operating under Firefox but something seems to have changed and the delay is a hassle since I manage many different sites as a national admin for the United States Minutemen - American Patriots Coalition.

Is there some setting either in Firefox or the Windows 11 operating system that can eliminate that issue ?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I used to build my own version of the ' Nightly Firefox ' distribution many years ago but have too many other ' irons in the fire ' anymore.

I'm trying to set an exception to popup blocking. When I enter the URL of the website in question and click Allow, the URL ought to appear in the list of exceptions; instead nothing happens. This is a relatively new installation, and I haven't tried to enter an exception before; therefore the list is (and remains) empty.

I'm using Firefox 117.0.1 (64 bit) under Windows 11.

I want to export my chats in Markdown and I don't like how bloated Superpower GPT is, I just need to download chats. I wonder if this has to do with the [relatively new addon domain restrictions feature](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/addons-restricted-domains). I followed the instructions on that page to set `extensions.webextensions.addons-restricted-domains@mozilla.com.disabled` to `true` in about:config. The addon still doesn't work after restarting Firefox.

Lately, Bookmarks has been deselecting itself in Sync on all three of my computers. This has happened twice in the past few days. No problem with other Sync items.

I have the same issue that was reported here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1358340 and here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1409149

After a Firefox restart for a version upgrade, there are 8 windows listed in the Windows menu, but only 4 are visible. Trying to select one of the invisible windows from the window menu, or cycling through open windows with cmd-` displays nothing. I tried checking other desktops to see if the windows had landed there, but they're not. The missing windows don't show up in Mission Control.

I also tried exiting FIrefox, deleting the xulstore.json file, and restarting. This had no effect.

I'm on a 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro Firefox 117.0.1 Mac OS 13.5.2 (22G91)

Any ideas? This is a weird one.
