I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I recently switched from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I’m having trouble with how PDFs are handled. When I click on a link for a PDF, I see the PDF symbol indicating it can be opened or downloaded based on my preferences. However, I want PDFs to download directly without opening when I click a download button, similar to Chrome’s default behavior.

In Chrome, if I click a link to view a PDF, it opens in the browser. But if I click a download button, it downloads without opening. I’d like to achieve the same in Firefox: view PDFs when I click a link but download them directly when I click a download button.

Thank you for your help!

Dear sirs, A few weeks ago I must have hit a button or two that made all my bookmarks disappear, about 200 or so. How do I get them back? Please help Harris Bartine Email removed for privacy reasons

I have routinely copied multiple cells of Excel data and pasted it into Word in either Box or on my laptop. The pasted data is pasted into a Word chart - each Excel cell of data is pasted into its own box in the Word chart. However after just moving to One Drive, the copy/paste action fails to paste correctly into Word via One Drive. Instead of each Excel cell of data being pasted into its own box in the Word chart, all the cell data from Excel gets pasted into only the 1st box in Word when using One Drive. This is unique to Foxfire. The problem does not occur using Edge or Chrome. Can you please help to suggest what might be an easy solution. This is on a brand new Dell Latitude using Windows 11. Thank you.

My Firefox has apparently lost Unicode support for Arabic, but only for Arabic: Persian letters (which AFAIK use the same alphabet!) display just fine. The attached screenshots show the problem via Wiktionary excerpts. Note that while the Arabic text appears only as boxes, the Persian, Azerbaijani, Ottoman Turkish, etc. texts all work just fine. It's clearly not a problem with encoding more generally -- languages as rare as Old Persian, Avestan, and the IPA appear normally. For some reason it's only Arabic that's broken.

What's going on here? How can I fix it?

Computer is VERY slow due to this: CP+[GFX1]: Potential driver version mismatch ignored due to missing DLLs igd10umd32 v= and igd10iumd32 v=

What is the resolve?

I want to make Mozilla stop the black pop ups giving me a bunch of information I don't need on my desktop. If I have to go to another browser I will but I like Firefox but I don't like the pop ups.

I cannot utilize the sign in to sync function. I try to sign in and no matter if it recognizes my email from logging on to the Mozilla.com site as soon as I get directed to the browser log in when I submit my email or password the page gets stuck and does not show any loading or error message at any point.

I just got a new Mac Powerbook so I'm starting over getting all my old stuff transferred here.

I've been trying to sync my account and every time I ask for the code to be sent to my email address, it is NOT sending the code for me to use to log in!

HELP!

Favicons seem to be a problem for Firefox, at least on Linux Operating Systems. On multiple distros favicons simply don't show, while they may on Windows. Not trying to dig, but shouldn't this be a pretty basic feature that's expected for a browser no matter what OS is used? Even searching at the forums here for favicons reveals 222 potential threads - one would think that the sheer volume of reports issued for them not functioning correctly would prompt a unified remediation effort. Don't get me wrong, I love Firefox - have used it for decades now across a multitude of OS's - and favicons always used to display properly. Googling this issue will reveal several recommendations of 3rd party addons and tweaks. Can we make favicons just work (again?)

Hello, I can't restore my Firefox bookmarks, I made the mistake to update my Firefox blindly, as always, but it ruined-erased all my bookmarks, where did my hard work ended?, if I ever fix my bookmarks I will never do another update. I'm 77 and not able to follow your instructions; I wished I could restore all my bookmarks, now I wish I knew how to get some back, even if I have to do it one by one! Why there is no chat tool? maybe that way you could guide me better? Have a heart, please?

Hello, I am new using Firefox on my desktop and can't figure out why I am having trouble getting my Realteck mic to work while in online meetings. The video function is fine. I can't change the settings in the online meeting software and get a message to use "Settings" in the browser. What am I doing wrong. TIA

Dear FireFox,

Christian greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In addition to being pastor, I am also the Webmaster for the Church Website for about 30 years and prepare a FREE Weekly Church Newsletter circulated worldwide with 1297 back-issues available for download.

When I draft and code the Newsletter I switch between TextPad (text editor) and Firefox off-line. Images should display offline or on-line as they are all on the Church Computer. I have experienced this problem for about three or four weeks.

Please assist me with this problem.

Any of hundreds of .jpg or .gif or .npg images. We have a desktop computer. I have reinstalled FireFox multiple times and it will no longer display images off-line. This is a relatively recent problem I have not suffered in 30-years. Google Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer all display the images off-line.

I will be grateful if you will email me at ags@biblebelievers.

May God bless you.

Yours sincerely in the love and service of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL http://www.biblebelievers.au/ Subscribe to Bible Believers' FREE Weekly Church Newsletter

I am having an issue with my new OLED monitor and GPU where Firefox is not able to correctly display the color of icons and various other sites and images correctly. I know this issue is directly related to firefox because every other browser and game or anything I use works perfectly in terms of color accuracy. Firefox is unable to be fixed. I have already tried changing the color settings within firefox many times and that has not helped. I have also already tried refreshing Firefox, completely uninstalling and reinstalling firefox among other things. So far there seems to be no fix. I have tried restarting my computer as well. The issue is persistent. I have attached an image of what it looks like compared to a reference of what it should be like.

Hello, how can I remove or hide "List all tabs" btn?

Set "browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled" as "false" stopped working for me after update to version 131.0. Hiding the btn before version 131.0 was not a problem.

I saw in release notes that "List all tabs" got some changes. link

Hey everyone,

I’ve been running into a strange issue whenever I try to visit https://greenleavesnursery.com/ using Firefox. The site either collapses, freezes up, or the layout just breaks. It works fine in other browsers (like Chrome and Edge), but Firefox just can’t seem to handle it.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Cleared the cache and cookies. Disabled all add-ons and ran Firefox in safe mode. Made sure I’m using the latest version of Firefox. None of these steps fixed the issue, and since the site works perfectly fine in other browsers, I’m starting to wonder if this is a Firefox-specific problem or if the website’s coding isn’t fully compatible with Firefox.

When I try to view a website with VR I get an error message from the web site saying I must use a browser that can view VR. I can't get an "Allow VR" box to come up. I'm using an Oculus Rift and it works on every other browser. I went to the VR Settings box, but it doesn't show any websites and there is no way to enter them. What's up?
