Hi, I recently began having trouble getting Youtube to work on Firefox.. Doesn't seem to want to connect, slow to open, mostly not at all, sometimes loads half the page....etc Constantly comes back with a message that I am not connected to the internet, which is nonsense.. It loads instantly in Microsoft Edge..which I normally don't use at all. I have deleted all history , Cache etc multiple times and that works maybe for one time and then the problem is back again.

Appreciate some help.

Firefox has inexplicably begun opening in a narrow screen by defalt. I want to set it to opening full screen by default. It's a pain to have to click twice or press F11 for full screen use. How please?

Every time I open Firefox and search for something it comes up in Spanish and there is a box to check if you want English. I have checked my preferred language in the settings and that is English (US) and I also did a purge caches and when I close Firefox and re-open it reverts back to Spanish with the box to check if you want English. I also have Chrome on my system and it works properly. If I change my search to using Bing it also works properly. I am not sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Google issue and I would appreciate any assistance I can get. I also re-downloaded Firefox to make sure I had the English option and did a re-install, with no change. I would appreciate ant assistance I can get. Thnaks.

We tried several times to log in to chase.com and repeatedly received this message:

****************************************************************************

Network Protocol Error [large letters]

An error occurred during a connection to secure09ea.chase.com.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the network protocol was detected.

   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

This is unacceptable. We do not want to use insecure browsers, and the Chase website was fine until the latest Firefox update.

I lost my tabs again today at start-up. I went to history & did "Open All In Tabs" for about 200 tabs...most of the important ones did not come back. I can't be doing this on a regular basis. You've spoiled me with the tabs staying on the browser every day. But, even though I've used Mozilla for years, I may have to find something else I can trust! This is twice now...I can't spend this kind of time trying to recover things (many of which I can't get to).

hello. i wish i could remove this from menu (see pic) and make that FF wont track and save recent bookmarks (personaly i thing its usles) . any solution? thanks in advance

In firefox 108.0.2 I need to have a wider vertical scroll bar, the tiny thin bar is next to impossible to use. Same in Thunderbird 102.6.1 both are in Linux and the published css solutions (a year ago) on mozilla support do not work for these versions

It used to be when I would do a google search, and click on images, I'd get lots of results I could scroll through. Now, when I do this on Firefox, I get some little boxes of categories at the top, a line of ads, one image result, and some text that says "Looks like you've reached the end." This doesn't happen with other browsers. What's wrong? How can I get Firefox to work with Google image search again?

Thanks!

(Images: Firefox results vs. same Google search in Chrome).

Hello there, for the past few months I had the issue that FireFox keeps changing my default search engine to google. Every so often I go to search.brave.com, rightclick on the url bar and click 'Add "Brave Search"', which then adds brave search as search engine to my settings where it can be selected. This has worked flawlessly for quite some time before, but nowadas it just keeps ressetting my search engine back to google which I do not want.

If anyone has experienced the same issue or has a fix for this please let me know. And no I didn't want to install an extention to change my default search engine, i just want this "Add xyz search engine" feature to work again.

Hi Firefox community, I don't want to store any account login data (also not usernames) on the shared PC that I'm using. In settings > passwords there is no entry, and under access data and passwords any options are deactivated. Although passwords are not stored, Firefox shows the user names/account names whenever I click such field. Where can I deactivate that user names/account names are stored and shown? Many Thanks in advance. Best wishes!

How do I recover my previous version of Firefox which I accidentally signed out of while signing on to a zoom session? I got a completely different version when I signed in again. I need my private details from the previous browser.

Hi, I installed the Bitwarden Password Manager extension on my new laptop and wanted to use my fingerprint scanner to unlock my password vault with biometrics. When I selected the "unlock with biometrics" option, firefox prompted me about whether I wanted to allow biometrics access or not. I accidentally clicked on "no" and now I don't know how to change that. Trying to enable biometrics in bitwarden doesn't open the firefox prompt again. Any help is appreciated!

I have received information that i have been included in a breach in 2016. Is this something that I need to be concerned with? And also, how can i be involved in a breach of a website that I have never logged into or have not visited?

Basically, I switch tabs a lot, and often between bright websites and dark websites. I know that Firefox has a way to force websites to dark mode, though it applies it to all websites. I don't really want that because some websites just look awkward when Firefox applies its dark mode to them. I want to know how to have Firefox only apply dark mode in a few domains that I choose? Thank you.

Facebook rapid auto scrolling on Firefox, but not on Edge. FB will jump ahead 5 or 6 posts (rapidly aut scrolling). Have to scroll backwards to see missed posts, but it rapidly auto scrolls forward again.
