I-Firefox Community Forum

Trying to download Firefox.com. Screen states “ your download was interrupted “ No explanation why or what to do to allow download to succeed?

I like the concept of having various news articles & topics of interest on the Start Page. However, I don't like the fact that many of the links take me to "subscriber only" sites, and ones that I have no subscription to! We should be able to eliminate those sites we can't read the articles on, it would be pretty easy to have that option, instead of our having to waste time, going on wild goose chases!

And I first attempted to log in to the feedback & suggestions page, however Firefox's own password auto-fill, kept putting in the wrong password, (one for a completely different site), and when I searched to find the correct password, it was too late. Soon as I entered the correct one, it locked me out, saying too many consecutive attempts had been made! To make it worse, the error message gave no info as to what my next step should be!! It didn't say to try later, how much later, provided no link to a page to reset my password, no "forgot password" option, nothing. Why is logging in on Mozilla's own, various sites, always seem to be so buggy? I've had more issues just trying to log in, than I ever should have, no idea why this happens so often, although with the auto-fill inputting the wrong information, that could be one reason.

I'm on an older, unsupported operating system (MacOS 10.14 Mojave) and am currently using Firefox 115.36.0esr which for the most part works fine. But there are increasingly websites that complain about having an outdated/unsupported browser and won't let me log in or whatever. For some sites I've solved the problem by using the Opera browser, but I've grown accustomed to Firefox, so......

There are a couple of options (that I know of) with browsers based on Firefox: Firefox Dynasty which has now become Firefox Momiji and Pale Moon.

I've given Momiji a quick try and function-wise it seems more or less like the regular Firefox, but does anyone know how safe it is to use? Both in regards to whoever is behind it and as a browser in general? I know nothing about Pale Moon. In addition to working with most current websites and be safe it should ideally be compatible with the current (115.36.0esr) version of the normal Firefox so that I can transfer all my open windows, bookmarks, tabs, passwords etc.

After the latest install of 151.0.2 (aarch64), the VPN logo is massive! Is this just a glitch from the latest update?

I've attached a photo for clarity.

Best,

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to bring up my concern. So, I apologize in advance if it's not.

I volunteer with a domestic violence organization. The group's website (180NJ.org) has a "panic button" function where a DV victim could bail out instantly if their abuser confronts them. When you hit the "Safety Exit" button, it changes the page to weather.com and Google comes up in a new tab. This is so an abuser can't see what the victim was looking at, for the victim's safety. When using Chrome and Edge, the DV site is removed from the History. When using Firefox, it is not removed from the History. I've brought this to the attention of the organization's IT people and was told that this is probably due to differences in the browsers themselves.

I'm not an IT person myself and have no idea what's involved in all of this. But, I just wanted to bring it to your attention, in case it's something you can work out. Thank you.

What are the step-to-step instructions in order to use Free VPN? (see attached image) I did a query on the web and it came back stating that Firefox VPN was not free. I am confused. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

I mistakenly agreed to update Firefox to V 151.02. Once again I regret it but there is no way to turn off the stupid prompt windows telling to you to update.

Now when i open a new tab , the wasted space on my COMPUTER screen is incredible. Instead of the old format withm3 wide "columns" of suggested stories/articles it is now one prominent, and a narrow list of only two wide. requiring me to scroll down twice as far as I used to. I have large white blank unused screen space being wasted. It seems to be optimized for only people who use their narrow phone screens only in portrait mode.

I hate the random useless changes that affect my normal everyday usage of the browser, without any options to go back to old formats or settings.

I am actually thinking of switching to EDGE, or Chrome on my Windows computers.

Wish Mitchel was still my student as I would vocalize my complaint directly to them. But that was back in the days when it was a responsive community .org. Not the now privatized for profit entity that Mozilla has become.

As i had to create another useless account just to submit any sort of feedback, watch as I get constant useless emails with no relevance to anything in my life, as all i wanted was a simple way to make my screen the same as it was for the past versions

Animated icons worked in the previous versions and I like them. It was also a way in which Firefox differentiated itself from the Gobble/Microslop browsers.

Is there a way for me to enable animated icon viewing in the latest browser versions so I can continue to view them? I really hate that animated web page icons now appear as static icons. Hate, hate, hate.
