I-Firefox Community Forum

Whenever I open up PDFs within the Firefox browser, they have a black background and the text and images do not appear. I can copy the text and images out of the pdf and into a word document and it works out fine. Also opening it up on other applications works out fine. Attached is what happens when I open up a known working pdf in Firefox. The browser version is the current version, 135.0.

I posted the following on facebook yesterday, I feel as if something changed in my Firefox settings as this only started about 2 months ago. 2 factor Authentication is shut off in facebook. "Can anyone tell me how to shut this off? Everytime I log onto FB from my computer I get this screen. 2-factor authorization wants to send a code to my cell phone. There's got to be a way to turn it off. I am using Windows 11 pro with Firefox as a browser."

Any thoughts?

No idea if this is the right topic or not but I've been dealing with this frustrating issue where with some websites it just loads a blank white screen. I've tried every fix I could that I've seen on forums like this as well as on Reddit and nothing I've tried has fixed it. From launching in Safe Mode or changing things in about:config. Before finishing this post I tried launching in safe mode, so my add-ons and plugins are disabled and it still persists with websites loading in these blank white screens. I never had this issue at first and I'm sure it started to happen after an automatic update a while back.

I need this issue sorted out so I can look and compare items from shops but most of the time a website that works and I look at it elsewhere I'm dealing with this issue. No issue looking at stuff on the internet on my phone, though I do use safari instead on my phone.

When I was previously using Firefox in Kubuntu 22.04, if I downloaded something I could go to the Downloads icon and click on the download and it would open in the desired application. After a failed upgrade to 24.04 I had to do a reinstall and now in Kubuntu 24.04, if I click on a downloaded file it will always bring up a window with "Open the file link with okular?" and the buttons Cancel and Open Link below. How do I go back to the previous way of it working?

I have a HP laptop running windows 11. I use facebook on the web by going to facebook.com. Recently there has been a change to the way images are displayed when reading chats. The "pop up" box shows up as normal when I select chats which displays all my chats. If the chat contains an image, when I click on it it displays the image at full zoom with no scroll bars visible. This means that I cannot see the whole picture. The only change I have made to mozilla recently is to rest the print settings to default using about:support but I am not sure if this was the start of this problem. If I use microsoft edge for facebook.com or use the facebook app, all works fine.

My Firefox suddenly seems to be behaving abdurptly. The icon of the taskbar for firefox is also lost, and it was hard to open. I just updated my windows and I observe this effect. What oculd have gone wrong? What data would you need to get to root cause of this?

I'm very frustrated with FF. It's running slow. Downloads are slow etc. I've tried everything that FF has recommended up to and including "refresh" with no effect. It's getting to the point I'm considering not using FF. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Review checker just popped up in my search bar. Where did it come from? I cannot find anyway to disable it. I looked previous posts about Labs but there is no provision in LABS to disable it. This needs to be fixed!

I can see no way to download passwords or bookmarks on my android phone, so I can email them to myself, open on my PC and add them to PC Firefox. I have signed in to the same account on both devices, and turned sync on on both devices. I receive no passwords or bookmarks on the PC. I had to re-install Windows 11, and now I cant get my passwords or bookmarks onto my PC.

Cannot take screenshot of passwords on android - screenshot is blank.

I've never had sponsored shortcuts and suddenly today I've got them. I've attempted the disable the "sponsored shortcuts" on my desktop however its greyed out.

Starting state - Shortcuts selected, sponsored selected and grey Procedure: 1.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan 2.) Click sponsored, it becomes grey again 3.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan (again) 4.) Click sponsored, it appears deselected 5.) Hit refresh and it returns to starting state

I do not edit my GPO or registry, settings are not controlled by an organization, I am not confusing sponsored shortcuts with pinned search engines.

The Thought-Provoking Stories' has gray bars and a horizontal moving vertical bar in every story box and no stories. How do I add the stories to those boxes? I don't see any info. on how to add those. Thank You.

One specific site used to work very well. Suddenly it stopped, showing the continuous running circle. It works on another device. Obviously some setting on this device has changed, but I didn't change anything myself. Please help.

Before I stop paying for a PDF editor, I need a function that I can't find in Firefox's new PDF editor, so far. I need to be able to delete and replace text. In the past I have needed to export the PDF as a *.jpg file into a program like paint or Photoshop, erase the text, save the document again as a PDF and import back into the PDF-editing program and add then add the new text. I don't see how to save a PDF as another type of file in Firefox. What am I missing?
