I-Firefox Community Forum

Now that my browser is Firefox I cannot get to my email or anything else on my computer. What must I do??? At one point I was signing in to Mozilla Firefox and it said that account already exists. This is very frustrating for an older geriatric. Please send me instructions to get back where I was. My present email address is [edited from public] @gmail.com.

I am getting exhausted with Firefox changing my configurations when updating. I always turn off automatic update for all software I use. I even turn off Windows updates. These updates always break something I regularly use and offer me little if anything that improves my experience.

Recently, the update modified my configurations to allow automatic updating. So I had to turn that off. A recent update removed the simple "!gm" shortcut to Google Maps. I had to create a new shortcut for Google Maps so I could type into the URL bar something like "!gm Missouri" to get the map to display. It wasn't displaying before this and returned search results like "General Motors". Ugh.

Can't Firefox stop updating my configurations and making life difficult for me?

I did use yahoo email for long time but now I want to switch to g mail address for my own protection and will keep my home address and will use my personal information as is not further changes.

Ive notcied in the last few weeks that sometimes whn i open mozilla and try watch youtube the webpage loads but no vidoes will work. I have the same issue with my Trading212 website, it loads up but will not log me in or anything. I have never had any issues with mozilla before but now everytime i switch my pc off anf try to use Mozilla it just does not work. To get it to work i have to start the uninstaller for mozilla and go through the reload/refresh process which does work in allowing me to watch youtube vidoes and sign into my trading account but it seems super unesscary that i hav e to do this every time i want to go online, I really like Mozilla but if this continues I unfortunately will have to find another browser.

I've seen many questions about this matter over the years, and thought I'd been lucky. Every link containing a .m3u file opened in my media player, WACUP. However ... after an update to version 143 it suddenly didn't. .m3u links opened as a text file in the browser window.

We have five windows 10 workstations in the home, and this happened with all of them.

I write webpages for a family intranet, and several thousand tracks are available for playing, so that was messed up too.

These are the steps I followed - unsuccessfully:

• Bulleted list item Checked file association settings in Windows 10. .m3u was associated to WACUP, my media player.
• Bulleted list item Checked file actions in Firefox. .m3u files set to open in WACUP.
• Bulleted list item Added the type="audio/mpgurl" in the anchor link for webpages I make.
• Bulleted list item Changed the default download panel in FF settings to "Ask". I could then get it to ask me to save or open. "Open" worked, as it this is tied to the system default audio player - nothing to do with FF.
• Bulleted list item A few other frustrating, but eventually inconsequential solutions that were in the realm of "I wonder if ...?"

So ... after all of this and a lot of investigation I noticed something interesting: All my playlists were in the format with just a listing of the filename, which as mentioned had been working for years:

Example "01 Queen - We Are The Champions.mp3".

Yet a playlist made in VLC had a different format: example,

"#EXTM3U

1. EXTINF:-1,01 The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda.mp3

01 The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda.mp3 "

SOLUTION

Having far too much time on my hands, I experimented with this, dissecting the various components of the playlist, and eventually found when adding "#EXTM3U" as the first line in the playlist, Firefox opened the playlist in WACUP once again when the link was clicked.

New playlist entry:

1. EXTM3U

01 Queen - We Are The Champions.mp3 02 ... 03 ... etc.

I've left the "type='audio/mpegurl" declaration in the link.

I don't know why this happened, but I hope somebody finds this useful in the future.

So now I have several thousand playlists to edit, although Notepad++ will make this easier, but by no means quick.

So I have had a favorite URL in Firefox for a decade or more https://www.outlook.com/owa to access outlook.com via web browser. Microsoft in Firefox only since the last upgrade does some weird looking and throws an error saying to try again later. If I delete my cookies for live.com and refresh the link it brings me to the sign in page where I can put in the email/password and it opens fine. If I close the window same thing happens and have to clear cookies, etc. Doesn't have the issue on Chrome or Edge, but thought I would make someone aware something odd is happening there. For now I just am using an alternate link https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/ and it comes up fine but it is not re authenticating again at that point.

Is there something I can do to avoid the error?

‘accessibilty impaired for tab scrolling. SO HARF TO FIND AND KEEP CURSOR ON THE TEENEY TINY BAR. LOTS OF PAIN IN MY ARM AND HAND. no ability to join discussion. circular links. I HATE IT. AM GOING BACK TO CHROME. TAB THING WAS ONLY REASON I CAME BACK TO FIREFOX

Hi, I have the settings of 'General > Startup > [checked] Open previous windows and tabs' on. Most of the time it works as expected, but there are several occurrences when all of the sudden all of my pinned tabs are gone. When this happened, I usually tried the 'Command + Shift + T' to restore them. Sometimes they came back, some other times, they don't.

Can you fix it?

It's starting to get really irritating because I can have >12 tabs pinned and it's troublesome to have to remember them all in case this happens again in the future.

Thanks!

Не знаю по какой причине, возможно какой-то баг или ещё чего, но у меня пропали все вкладки, даже те, которые были сгруппированы. Возможности восстановления предыдущего сеанса у меня нет.

When I download firefox, the download automatically shows Bing as the search engine, even if I designate another search engine such as Chrome. I want to delet eBing from FireFox or I will have to use another browser,

I tried Mozilla Monitor, logging in using my Mozilla account, but it wouldn't accept my UK address. It would only accept USA addresses. So I was not able to run the scan and reach the stage where you can delete the Monitor Account

Using the same personal data, but selecting a USA location, I ran the scan and then dieted the account successfully.

As I used the same email address for each attempt does the successful deletion on the second attempt mean all my Monitor accounts have been deleted?

ChatGPT indicates that this is the case but I would welcome further advice.
