I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Firefox said the browser was running slow and suggested I fix it .. it removed some items including True Key. I can not find any was to put True Key's extension in Firefox. Firefox is not unusable for me.

When I print it keeps printing on both sides. I changed it to "no" in the printing setting in Firefox but when I exit it keeps going back to 2 sided. That doesn't seem to be the case in other browsers. I tried to follow the advice given here to type in about:config in the address bar but after giving me the warning it just went to a blank page after I clicked to proceed anyway. Any advice I can get would be much appreciated.

I have been with firefox for about 6 years and 4 computers. I have never used firefox sync yet everytime before this, my computer has never required me to "sync" to get all my old account details. Please tell me there is a way to restore these without access to the old computer. Its a literal brick now with no possible way to access it.

(I have Firefox 84.0.2, Windows 10) The "Recently Bookmarked" category disappeared in Bookmarks. When I googled about the problem, it said go to about:config and find browser.places.smartBookmarksversion--and change to default. This is not listed in about:config. When I "Bookmark This Page" it goes into "Other Bookmarks" at the bottom. (I have a large list of "Other Bookmarks.) Any suggestions?

I'm running Firefox Portable on Windows 10. There is only one executable file in one location.

When I open Firefox as a user, by clicking the icon, I get a different instance of Firefox than if the system opens Firefox [for example, if I click on a link in a different program that opens in a browser]

How do I stop this from happening? I've attached a screenshot to illustrate the differences between the two instances:

1a/1b - User instance does not have pinned tabs, while system instance does. 2a/2b - Despite being logged in to the same Firefox Account/Profile, the toolbar is ordered differently between the two instances. 3a/3b - They're both using the same installed OneTab extension, but they have different numbers of pages stored. 4a/4b - They have a discrepancy in pages and dates for stored items.

I don't seem to have a way of selecting which instance I get manually. If I had pages pinned or saved in OneTab in a System invoked instance, without being aware it is a System instance, and my laptop restarts, I can't resume that instance and recover those pages without using another program or app to invoke it. No matter how many times I open, close, restart, whatever, Firefox myself, I won't be able to get those pages or pins back.

It caused for a lot of frustration, and doubts about my sanity, before I finally realized what was happening, and now I'd very much like to know how to make it stop and operate a unified instance no matter how it is invoked.

I'm taking screenshots of several pages on a website, but the cookie info menu shows up on all of them, even though it is not visible on the web page when I take the screenshot. Anyone know a way to work around this?

Seems straight forward, I've checked and unchecked the box in options, and it looks like the same result. I only get one tab stacked until I have many the box open ones at taskbar. I'd like to open a new link, next to the one I'm on, and can't seem to do,

Dear all,

I've installed an add-on, "Telephone Number Detection" by "CTI-Telephony", that enables to detect phone numbers on any web page and to trigger a phone app ( ex : Aircall) using the phone numbers detected/clicked.

It works but Firefox always asks me to authorize the use of the phone app (Aircall) so as to open the link produced when clicking on the phone number "Allow this site to open the callto link with Aircall.exe?"

This step is useless since I've already authorized the opening via this application.

Do you any idea oh what options to tag/un-tag so as to avoid this step ?

Best regards,

ET

When I use Waipu.TV in Firefox I first do not see the Video, then I click in the screen and see the movie until the mouse moves, the screen is not fully black, I can still see the Waupu.tv frame but not the video, using full screen is the same, what can I do about it? Thanks Elkie : )

This is a odd one. i know it has work before , i have use Firefox for many years. so something most have change this.

its not that the speed is lost is more a Firefox just sho or think it is. ( Browser issue only. ) https://www.speedtest.net/

Work fine with chrome and MS EDGE and MS app store. with sppedtest from

and i know it did work from the past, because i know i have tested with it, but i bet a update or something cause Firefox to do this.

the bandwide is there , its just Firefox that half the speed in the Browser. this is not even about slow , but i bet other firefox user will not know that, and problem is also when did this happend, before it was show in the browser.

In one of the recent updates the Page Range box is blank. It used to default to '1' but now defaults to nothing. I often just want to print the first page so I want to change this back.

Where is the option to make this the default? Is there a setting or addon I can use to get this back?

I have been using Firefox and several addons for years. One of the addons that I have been using for a very long time is "Group Seed Dial". I'm extremely happy with it.

This problem began just a few days ago. I leave my computer on all the time and very often (most often) I will walk away from it for the night with a couple of browser windows open and several tabs open in each. A few days ago I simply came back to my computer that morning and clicked on the "+" to open a new tab - this always opens into my Group Speed Dial page. But that did not happen it just opened to my "Home" page (Google search). I tried a different window and the same thing happened, it seemed my Group Speed Dial was gone. I wend to >Tools >Addons and I saw the Group Speed dial in the "disabled" section. So I simply clicked the toggle button to "enable" it and - the speed dial was back just like before. I thought there must have been some glitch and just went on with my day. The problem is, the next day it happened again, and then today it happened again.

I am using Firefox 84.0.1 (64-bit). I am on Windows 10. During the time this has been happening, I have not shut down all browsers, no updates were announced or shown to have happened. I have not shut off my computer, there have been no windows updates.

Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm worried there is a bug or a virus causing this. I use Windows Defender and Malware Bytes Premium.

Thank you.

I want to change the email associated with my firefox account. When I try to add a secondary email I receive a message that the email already exists, though it also says that a secondary email has not been set.

When flashplayer reached EOF, I became unable to view live tv on cnbc.com, even after logging into my tv provider. A black screen just sits there without loading the video. I thought it was a problem with my tv provider, but tried to do the same on Google Chrome, and it worked fine.

Something is broken. Can you fix firefox to agaib play cnbc tv live?

Thanks, Debra

I'm noticing lately that some pages, an example of one being Google search, will only hide the horizontal scrollbar if the page is set to 90% or lower.

Is there a fix for this?

This is an i7 4500U, Intel HD 4400 (Intel Graphics Family). Drops approximately 5% of the frames resulting in video stutter. Running on a (tested) 200mbps connection. Like I said in the title, Edge plays fine. I remember a few versions ago (can't pinpoint now), Firefox used to play theses videos without any issues. Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ImZE0K7xc And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeZeINA1ts0

I spent the last morning trying every solution I found on the Internet, Reddit and Mozilla forums. Disabling stuff in the about:config, webgl stuff, doublebuffer, etc, etc. Tried downgrading to V77, disabling enabling 3D acc., etc.

Thanks.

I have been invited to renew the Norton protection on my desktop computer in 5 days. The increase in the cost is approximately 20% on last year's subscription with the advice that it will treble at the following renewal. This has made me wonder whether, or to what degree, the protection provided by Norton Lifelock may be unnecessary due to my using Firefox for my browsing.

I have Ublock, Enhancer For Youtube, Facebook Container & Ghoshtery icons on my toolbar.

I am not very computer literate, so if anyone is able to suggest an alternative way of protecting my computer, please take this into consideration.

I accept that due to my limited knowledge of computers some people may on balance think that it is best that I renew with Norton rather than risk compromising my computer security due to my lack of computer expertise - and if that is what people think it would still be good to receive the reassurance that I am probably already using the best product for me.

Last year I let the subsription lapse rather than pay at the invited amount that I think was over £60. A few days later I received another email inviting me to subscribe at circa £20.

Thank you.
