I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi,

I'm trying to configure equipment on my local network. Some of the equipment does NOT support https. Firefox continuously changes the address http://192.168.xxx.xxx to https://192.168.xxx.xxx, and the connection fails!

I have tried the various options in HTTP Only Mode, including entering Exceptions. I have also temporarily changed network.trr.mode from 5 to 1 (and 0), but nothing is working!

What can I do?

Thanking you Pedro

Starting with Firefox 113 (on Debian Linux), every few days Yahoo mail stops working properly: I can read emails but hitting any action of them, like Reply, Move, Delete, does nothing at all.

I need to clear cookies to get this operational again. This doesn't happen on chrome on the same computer.

The only add on I have is an adblocker, disabled for yahoo mail. This problem also happens with enhanced tracker protection turned off.

My Linux/Computer guru passed away 5 years ago I have been using Firefox Quantum 57. 0.4 64 bit for Linux Mint 1.0 but am finding sites I need to access won't open or if they open can't use the functions there. I know nothing about computers and I have not been able to find a tech to take my desktop to to get it updated. I am afraid to update because computer is currently set up with protections so I can do banking etc.. but soon I won't be able to access that. Any suggestions as to what to do at this point or suggestions of tech's in the Far West Valley of Phoenix AZ to assist ? Thanks so much for your time and any suggestions. Cheers,

After I boot my system I am not able to open Firefox as it complains about an open instance. After around half a minute the file disappears on its own.

Deleting the lock file manually works for starting firefox, but seems to sometimes delete my cookies as well.

The issue is not reproducible by just logging out and in again.

Firefox Browser 113.0.2 (64-bit) "Mozilla Firefox for Garuda Linux"

OS: Garuda Linux x86_64 Kernel: 6.3.5-zen1-1-zen DE: Plasma 5.27.5 WM: KWin

My preferred languages are set to: en-us, en, ja My preferred fonts for Japanese are set to: proportional: Sans Serif, Serif: IPA 明朝, Sans Serif: IPA ゴシック For web pages that set the language to Japanese (using lang="ja" or similar), the correct (Japanese) font is selected. However, for web pages that do not indicate the language, Firefox selects a Chinese font, ignoring my preferred language and fonts.

Search in tabs (%) extend search to all tabs of all containers.

When I do a search in tabs, it only searches in the tabs of the current container. How can I make it look for tabs from other containers as well?

Very thanks.

I have been using Firefox Quantum 57. 0.4 64 bit for Linux Mint 1.0 will I be able to use Firefox 113.0.2 and is there anything I need to do after downloading it. I am computer illiterate, any help will be greatly appreciated.

up until yesterday, i was able to 'select all tabs', click on 'bookmark tabs...', create a folder name and then select the 'bookmarks menu' as the location. there would be the folder i created with the bookmarks i selected in that folder

as of yesterday, the bookmarks are saved, but not in the folder i create. they are saved in the general drop down list below 'bookmarks'

Hello,

I would like to set different themes for 2 computers signed into my Firefox Sync account, because I would like Firefox to fit in with each system's theme. Would it be possible to do this? If so, how can I set it up?

Thank you, JetFox

Firefox Unbranded is not updated - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Timeline The latest version is Firefox Unbranded 108.0b9.

Where can I find the latest, Firefox Unbranded 115.0b?

Whenever the Firefox browser updates, it asks me to close the browser and will not let me open up any new tabs nor update existing tabs without a 'close your browser' message popping up. This is incredibly inconvenient for me. When I'm doing something important, like filling out a form, and it updates. I often have to close the tab that I'm doing something important on and then having to redo EVERYTHING. I would really like it if Firefox would ask or remind me to update instead of force one on me and disabling what I can do with the browser until I do.

Firefox repeatedly crashes when attempting to play video or audio files of whatever type, in every web page.

I.e., just opening a YouTube page without playing the video is fine, but when I click on Play, it instantly crashes.

Here are all the error reports which I stumbled on, and which I submitted:

Hello,

Am using Mozilla Firefox installed via flatpak on openSUSE. Certain pdfs display correctly but other pdfs displayed with Firefox (either locally or online) are displayed badly: spaces are replaced with a lower half block character, fonts not sharp. I installed Firefox from the openSUSE repos (not from flathub) and opened the same pdf and it displayed correctly. I downloaded the pdf and opened it using Okular and no problems. I also opened the “troublesome” pdfs on Firefox in Windows and it displays correctly. I conclude that the flatpak version of Firefox is causing some pdfs to display incorrectly but I don’t know why.

I installed flatseal to tweak the flatpak Firefox’s settings but nothing seemed to fix the pdf display issue. Please see screenshot below of how Firefox (from openSUSE repos, on the left hand side) and Firefox (from flathub, on the right hand side) display the same pdf from the internet. The online pdf in the screenshot and used as an example of the issue can be found at:

https://www.jrf.org.uk/sites/default/files/jrf/files-research/international_cities_rotterdam.pdf

Not sure why some pdfs display correctly in Firefox from flathub and others display incorrectly. I’d prefer to use flatpak’s sandboxed Firefox if possible. Is there anyone else with the same problem or someone who who found a solution to this issue?

Thanks
