I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Dashlane stopped auto filling in Firefox. Copy & paste doubles the info. Win10 64bit Pro. The app works in Chrome. It worked fine in Firefox until last week. I cleared all data & cookies, still doesn't work. The problem occurs on both https & http websites. I tried all the fixes on the Dashlane support site, but they don't have any effect in Firefox.

So, there's an extension I want to pin, right? It has no menu, meaning that it's grayed out usually. However, the website it's supposed to affect does not get affected. That is, unless I were to refresh the site, then quickly move my mouse to the extensions menu, open it, and show the extension.

New computer, new Firefox install. Old computer has the Library Icon in the upper right corner when the browser opens. I imported my bookmarks, but can't figure out how to get the Library Icon positioned.

I got a popup tab with a very dated UI about an urgent Firefox update involving a flash player. It told me to click allow installation or something like that I don't remember exactly. Once I clicked the allow button there was a popup and a green arrow pointing to the popup in the top right. I clicked it and it said to click "add" next. I realized this is probably a scam and did not add it. I'm assuming that add was referring to something about extensions or plugins but I checked those and there wasn't anything I already knew I had. I did a virus scan and it got nothing. The popup appeared alongside a Minecraft Skindex download. I did some research and learned it is malware and comes in many different forms. The add popup referenced something called auto ads off. Did I stop the malware by not clicking add and if not how do I remove it.

Hello, I am working through setting up LibreWolf and running into a problem. The top of the Privacy and Security page displays a blue "caution box" that states:

"You’re using Resist Fingerprinting (RFP), which replaces some of LibreWolf’s fingerprinting protection settings. This might cause some sites to break."

I have read through the Learn more and believe I have followed the instructions which basically state to go to FireFox, set the privacy standard to Strict. Supposedly this action should allow the LibreWolf Enhanced Tracking Protection in Strict mode. I have completed the change to Strict on the FireFox page, but the blue caution box remains. I have closed and restarted both the LibreWolf and FireFox pages, cleared cookies, restarted the computer, rechecked to ensure the FireFox privacy settings haven't reverted. I am still getting the blue caution box. I'll appreciate your assistance. I might also note that I lost (and was forced to reenter all the above information when I copied and pasted the browser's troubleshooting data into the box below. That doesn't make a very pleasant opening experience... Thank you.

Hello there! I'm a long time fan of firefox and use it on all of my devices. I've NEVER had issues with it but for some reason on my computer that has Windows 11 it's been crashing quite a bit.

To clarify, I'll be surfing like always but when I have maybe a third tab (usually youtube) up, then everything just STOPS. This happens at least ONCE a day or sometimes twice. Then, I have to quit firefox forcefully (which windows does say it'll get the crash report). Yet, I never get a crash report from firefox or any such message despite that I do have it checked in my settings.

No other browser I have on this computer has ANY issue (chrome nor edge--both work fine. It's just firefox).

The thing is, I've been all over the internet about this. I've scanned my computer with both windows defender and malwarebytes--found nothing no matter how deeply I scanned. Re-installed firefox several times. Refreshed it as well. Uninstalled/re-installed my extensions. Unchecked 'use hardware acceleration when available.' I updated my drivers, etc. etc.

The only thing that 'seemed' to work was creating a new profile here on firefox. After doing that, I could surf for a whole DAY or two without a crash. But then suddenly today it crashed like normal (again when I was on youtube). I haven't tried using firefox in safemode to see if it crashes because the crashes are random and could happen at any time in the day. Just seems like a lot of time in safemode when I need to be working.

Please advise! All of my other computers (either on windows 10 or on mac/android) have ZERO issues. Once more, this computer handles chrome/microsoft edge just fine but for some reason my windows 11 computer is having trouble with firefox (and firefox ONLY) no matter what I do. I hope you can help and also help me understand why firefox doesn't seem to have any crash reports for me when it HAS crashed several times.

I just downloaded the latest Firefox browser, and it asked me to import all of the my bookmarks, but it only grabbed the ones from Chrome. All of my former bookmarks that were saved in the previous Firefox browser are gone! Most of my useful bookmarks were in Firefox. Where are they, and how do I get them back?

Are there changes in your security policies, content restrictions or functionalities that could be affecting the loading of a program that loads the Google Maps map and the Google Earth KML file and that previously worked in your 2015 browser?

I've been using Chrome for a long time, and I've been slowly switching over all my bookmarks, passwords, etc to Firefox. I'm running Linux mint for context.

Every time I open Firefox, it opens the home tab, and after a second or two it opens Mozilla Rally in a new tab, and it drives me ABSOLUTELY BONKERS, because I get halfway through typing in a website, and I'm redirected to this new tab I care nothing about, and for some reason cannot get rid of it in the minimal startup settings that actually exist.

That's some straight up Microsoft Internet Explorer sh!t there, and yes that was meant as an insult.

I have not been able to find any reference or any way to make that not happen, and it is seriously making me consider abandoning Firefox entirely. Don't make me go back to Chrome.

Please help.

I am trying to use a website (www.gool.co.il) which I use to study and worked for me in Firefox on PC and on IOS a few month ago and now the login is broken in Firefox but works in other browsers is there a way for me to fix it?

Hi; The gear symbols that were next to the extension in the Extension Panel, are no longer there. In the recent past, clicking on the gear symbol by the extension, enabled me to pin it to the tool bar. How do I get that function back? Thank you, Nick M. mr.nick@myyahoo.com

Hello, I have an HP laptop 250GB, (sticker saying intel CORE i5 inside) that is now practically un-usable, virtually every action gets a Firefox is not responding, the cursor is slow to respond and keeps dropping and then when a page eventually opens, when I try to use the cursor the page disappears. I am not good with computer terminology and just want to use the basics. After approx 2 years from purchase and the slowness, I went back to an old laptop at the beginning of 2020 which I have very little trouble with, but it is failing slowly and have been trying to get the newer one going again, but I get so frustrated with the waiting and mostly get nothing done. I don't know what else to add. I gave up paying for service, I am just told it should not be that slow even right from new. I knew that already. My son visited at Christmas and said the processor is running at 100% all the time. Thought it maybe a faulty processor. Ian

While hovering over a Youtube video it shows the full video title as "hover text" if the tab is focused. However, if something else, even another Firefox window is focused hovering no longer shows anything. Is there some kind of setting to change that? I figured it could be browser and Youtube specific because Chrome shows it on Youtube even when not focused, but neither browser shows it on Google search for example, but I'm not sure.

Trying to download and print one of my tax documents. File type is PDF. Even in the print preview, the right margin is at least two inches, and it prints that way. I tried clicking "more" and adjusting the margin settings, but that doesn't help. I tried printing through Chrome and Edge and it prints fine. Any ideas how to get PDFs to print right on FF without having to switch over to another browser to print a document?

2 questions

1.: How to build a web page, that enables FF's reader view?

2.: Is it possible, to customize the reader view to include the full URL instead the domain name only?

I wish to save my bookmarks in alphabetical order, first the folders and then any bookmarks that have not yet been allocated to a specific folder. This used to be possible as I gave reorganised the older bookmark folders are in alphabeical order previously. This seems to be no longer posible. I can reorganise them in View but cannot save them. Am I doing something wrong? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance. text
