I-Firefox Community Forum

My email is nickgabriel@usa.net so I use usa.net as my internet email and log in with FIREFOX.

Every 12 hours, my account is logged off, firefox still up and running, and then I log back in immediately.

What can be done so firefox does not log me off but keeps my email logged in and running?

when printing a page from Firefox,, normal default printer settings is "fit to page" which is fine for 99% of time But,, when i switch to scale 100%, this setting is ignored and the page prints still with the "fit to page"

Switching to use "Edge" as browser and doing the exact same print,,,, printout scales to 100% and is perfect

Took me while to isolate this problem and all attempts at firefox settings etc have no effect The issue is re-producible on multiple computers and multiple printers

Please advise otherwise i will have to continue to use MsEdge for this one task Rick L

On a certain site, a new window is opened to read a text file. However in Firefox since the latest update, text is shown with its scroll bar in a narrow 5-line strip in the middle, leaving the rest of the window blank (see image).

The same site is displayed normally in Chrome.

HI, I've been using CLAUDE AI regularly for weeks, and not had a problem. However recently it has stopped displaying HTML outputs in its Artifact window. After much fault finding, we discovered it works fine in Safari, which suggests there's been some recent clash in Firefox. I've double checked the extensions, and numerous other settings, using Claude and Chatgpt to fault find, but cannot fix the issue. Can you help please as I'm not a safari user and much prefer Firefox. Thank you.

Hello,

I would like to clear all of my sync data from my firefox account. This includes browsing history, passwords, payment methods, extensions, bookmarks, favourites, themes.

Thank you for your time.

Hi folks Since the beginning of Mozilla, in Firefox the item History > Recently Closed Tabs contained the tabs that had belonged to the foreground window: easy to use, straightforward, intuitive. For some reasons now it's all the tabs of all the windows in chronological order. It became practically unusable. Who the heck thought this was a smart move: turning a very practical feature into a useless one? Is there a turn-around? Maybe it's like the Window menu that used to be in chronological order and turned into an alphabetical order: a bureaucratic decision completely unaware of the users preferences. Nick

আমি Windows 10 ব্যবহার করি। Firefox দিয়ে www.tiktok.com খুলতে গেলে নিচের এরর মেসেজটি আসে:

"Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue"

এখানে বলা হয় Firefox নিরাপদ সংযোগ করতে পারছে না এবং সাইটটি HSTS ব্যবহার করে। অন্য সব ওয়েবসাইট ঠিকঠাক খুলছে, শুধু TikTok এ সমস্যা হচ্ছে।

আমার কম্পিউটারের সময় ও তারিখ ঠিক আছে। Firefox এর সর্বশেষ ভার্সন ব্যবহার করছি।

এই সমস্যার সমাধান কীভাবে করব দয়া করে জানাবেন?

ধন্যবাদ।

Hello, for some reason all my tabs just closed and i cant get them back by any way either than recovering last session, but when im trying to follow the way "history - recover the last session" there is no such option as "recover the last session", are there any other ways to recover the session or make this option appear? firefox version - 140.0.4 (64 bit)

I'e been using Claude.ai with no problems until a couple days ago when Interactive Artifacts stopped loading. The Interactive Artifacts work in Safari and on my iPhone app, but not in Firefox. I've tried clearing cache, disabling extentions, and opening up Claude in a Private Window, but nothing seems to work. I much prefer Firefox to other browsers. I haven't disbled Javascript (nor do I know how). What else could be causing this? One suggestion was to restore Firefox to default settings - I'd prefer ot to but if it works, I will do that. How do I do that? Is there anything else I should try?

Hey,

so, for many years I use firefox with hundreds of tabs, to keep that loading smoothly, I have the Profile folder on a RAM disk, which size is limited. Originally I started with 512MB which seemed plenty, but got bloated eventually, so I increased it to 700MB, then 800MB thinking it should be fine, cause "my personal data" isn't that much.

In the beginning i had to manually clear my own Website Data every couple months, deleting everything older than a year.

Currently I have to delete my personal Data every 10 days and only keep the last 2-3 months, to not run out of space... I also started to not visit heavy Websites with firefox, but with another browser that doesn't run of a Ramdisk, but despite all my efforts I need some other solution.

It feels like some files just keep growing over time without getting rid of old data, and storing new technical files, that i don't want in my profile folder... At this point, getting some extra 50-100MB that doesn't come from deleting my current data would be great... A way, to cleanup any unused data... I tried everything I could find, but I'm kinda stuck. Keeping all my Profile settings, customisations and still used personal Data is really important to me.

Since April 5th I have lost spell check in the message pane of the emails I type on outlook.live.com It still works in the subject line, but not the message area.

Windows 10 pro 22H2 updated to end of March, when spell check was still working well. Firefox 137.1 English Canada Language selected (has worked well for years)

I go to outlook.live.com to read and answer my @hotmail.com emails.

When right clicking on a misspelled word in the message area I get only these options, Firefox does not give me the usual options.

I am currently having other problems on that site, clearing outlook.live.com cookies does not clear the problems.

After Firefox requested to be updated, I lost all of my bookmarks. I tried to go in and "restore" them but there are no backups to restore from. How do I get my bookmarks back?

Youtube is suddenly not showing a full page. After scrolling down a short way, it stops and the last two rows are blank (see attachment). I let it sit for 30 minutes hoping it would load, but nothing change d. I tried another browser and it works fine. I cleared cookies and cache, but that did nothing. Thanks.

i'm trying to help NetBSD by maintaining rust for a number of NetBSD targets. As part of that, I use rust and verify that its "major packages" still build, firefox among them. Recently I found (ref. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/143904) that by default, firefox would no longer build natively on NetBSD/i386 (really i586 / i686, in 32-bit mode). I found a workaround, namely to turn off address-space layout randomization, but this indicates we are already balancing too close to the border of the 3GB per-process data segment size for comfort. A hint given there was that I could try to turn off LTO (link-time optimization), since it reportedly gives at best modest gains for considerable cost in terms of build time and VM space requirements during the build.

So... This is my first encounter with the firefox configure machinery which is different from most other similar things, and I appear to be unable to find a way to instruct the configure machinery to build without LTO. The configure script accepts `--disable-lto` (no, that is not present in the `--help` output), but evidently this option does not do what it implies: I still see rustc threads during the build which set their name to a string containing "lto".

So... "Help!"

Hi, I recently upgraded my computer and as part of it had to reinstall Firefox for desktop. When I did, I noticed that none of my passwords, bookmarks, and such had transferred over. I tried hitting the 'Sync Now' button in the settings, but nothing happened. I then checked my phone as I had Firefox installed on it, and all my data was still there, and tried hitting the sync button, but nothing happened, the button just highlighted every time I hit it.

Going through the 'connect devices' route in the desktop settings, it popped up a qr code for me to scan, but the steps it outlined didn't make sense as there was no 'sync and save data' button to hit, as apparently with a recent update they removed that and folded it into the account menu - the same 'Sync' button I had tried fruitlessly before. I also noticed that no matter how many times I hit the button, it just said 'Updated 1 hour ago', indicating it was not actually syncing. Even when I changed the device name on my phone to 'Firefox Mobile' and then hit sync, my passwords and bookmarks didn't copy over, only the new name it seemed.

I then tried uninstalling Firefox from my phone and reinstalling it, and this time the option to scan came up during the install, but now my phone doesn't have any of the data I had been trying to recover. Additionally, in my Mozilla Account page it shows the desktop app, the new phone install of Firefox as 'Firefox on samsung SM-S921W', and the original 'Firefox Mobile', which presumably still has all the data I have been trying to recover with no success.

Please help me get my data back, I need my bookmarks and passwords primarily and believe they may be locked onto the 'Firefox Mobile' device, if they are stored anywhere at all. Even if there's an older partition of my bookmarks and passwords from a week past or some such that could be recovered would be greatly appreciated. Additionally I would greatly appreciate if you could make the Sync feature actually functional, as this has been rather stressful and aggravating - that data has been collecting over the past ten years, minimum, and some of it is rather critical.

Thank you for your time.
