I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I just installed a new version of Linux Mint (Zara) and all is right with Firefox, except the screenshot who doesn't work. The buttons "Capture the visible area" and "Capture the entire page" don't work. The additional tool in the toolbar doesn't work. What can i do, please? Thanks for your answer. Pierre

Decades ago, browsers had features to download the current web page along with linked pages and store them locally including updating the downloaded main page's links to reference the linked copies. It was even possible to specify how many link levels to copy along with the main page.

when web page sidebars became popular this became problematic for a while since sidebars often linked to ads or unrelated content (Wikipedia or GitHub for example). Then browsers started providing a means to disable webpage sidebars and display only the main page.

I can't find any of that capability in Firefox. I have searched the settings, extensions, Firefox support pages and found almost nothing related to simply saving web pages.

I fear that some day the website 'UESPWiiki' which provides support for my favorite game which is now (2025) 19 years old will some day go away. UESPWiki has side bars preventing simply downloading everything. Help.

When I try to visit hurleyauctions.com all I get is a blank screen. This problem is a recent development as I have been able to go to this website in the past.

... just that. Actually I wanted to print a selection, but if the selection is longer than one page, only one page will print. So I thought if I could save the selection to a file, and then print that file, I'd solve my problem.

Reddit is not allowing me to comment on posts. The area where the button to comment is simply black. I can still reply to other comments, post and do everything else but i cannot comment. Commenting works fine on other browsers and the mobile app but doesn't work on firefox specifically. I do not have any extensions.

Hi,

I have saved websites with save as and when I try to open the saved page, that page opens for about 1-2 seconds and then goes to the home page for that site, where you can search for information?

For example, when you open a saved job from Indeed:com, the job opens for about 1-2 seconds and then goes to the page in the attached file.

Have a great day!

Hi!

Really weird issue I've noticed with my Firefox-based browsers.

Essentially, whenever I am within the "Save As" feature of my browser, I am unable to realistically do anything that requires the context menu (e.g. creating a folder, renaming). I can still do things, but each entry in the context menu has no text.

I am on Windows 11, and am using the most up-to-date verison of both Firefox-based browsers. I do have a lot of customisation software and/or registry changes, but this issue has started to show up after I've spent a while with these changes already implemented. I don't think it's the problem as I have tested without each of these, but I thought worth mentioning if anyone knows of any potential conflicts (and to clear up any confusion from the screenshots).

An example of the above that I thought would affect this is a registry fix to enable the "show more options" setting on the context menu to be selected by default whenever I right click (steps followed here: https://www.howtogeek.com/759449/how-to-get-full-context-menus-in-windows-11s-file-explorer/). I've just tested by reversing this change and issue persists, and like I mentioned issue did not occur previously when this fix had already been applied. I hope that's not redundant information, I'm just trying to give as much info as possible!

I typically use Floorp, but when I noticed this issue I have tried and verified that this issue also happens on regular old Firefox.

Other browsers I have installed and verified this issue is NOT present on:

• Microsoft Edge
• Chrome
• Pale Moon

The issue only seems to happen on FireFox and Floorp.

I have attached some images of what it is meant to look like ("expected_context_menu.png") and what it looks like on FireFox based browsers ("real_context_menu01.png").

Initially I though the menu was just useless, but it does appear I can actually use this menu without text as normal. I tested this by using the second-from-bottom option, and then the top-most option that marks the option for "New Folder" on the working context menu. I was able to create a folder as expected doing this ("real_context_menu02.png" and "real_context_menu03.png"), which suggests that it's just an issue with the text displaying.

Anyone have any ideas? Of course, I can provide any info about the OS customisation steps I've taken if needed!

I'd appreciate any help!

I've never uploaded here before so in case the images don't show the image name, they are uploaded in the order: "real_context_menu01.png" "real_context_menu02.png" "real_context_menu03.png" "expected_context_menu.png"

Steps to reproduce:

   Generate an image using Gemini Web.

   Right-click the generated image and select "Save image as...".

Actual results:

   The saved image file (which is around 8MB uncompressed) is frequently corrupted.

   There are noticeable pixel misalignments, visual glitches, and tearing across the image.

   Re-saving the exact same image causes the glitches to appear in different random locations, indicating an unstable data transfer from memory to disk.

   Sometimes, the saved filename gets appended with random gibberish characters (e.g., Gemini_Generated_Image_fuy00sfuy00sfuy0.jpg).

Expected results: The image should be saved completely without any data corruption or pixel misalignment.

Additional Context: > When performing the exact same action in Google Chrome, the browser negotiates a compressed format (around 2MB) and the image saves perfectly with 100% data integrity and no visual glitches. The issue seems isolated to how Firefox handles large image blob data saving.
