I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I noticed a possible bug or quirk regarding the "Use a Securely Generated Password" feature where it sometimes generates duplicate passwords for websites where the user may have alt accounts. I was attempting to change a password on a duplicate account for a website, and I ultimately decided to change both the password for my alternative account and main account for this website.

The website allowed for me to supply my old password in order to specify a new password within my account. For both accounts, I was allowed to change my password using the "Use a Securely Generated Password" feature. However, the password generated was the same password for both accounts. These accounts have little or no relationship. Is this a limitation of the software or a bug?

When I try to forward a link from a webpage (using Firefox) it automatically sends it from my email address through Thunderbird. I'd like to switch the setting so it uses my Apple Mail email address. Is this possible?

Using google as browser in Firefox and cant see bookmarks in side bar. Ive tried all the suggestions but no joy. Also on my PC, GOOGLE shows above address bar, but on my new laptop it shows FIREFOX. Driving me crazy. Have used Firefox foe years ans no problems till now.

When I download new font families, sometimes firefox displays the incorrect font on previously working web pages. The attached image shows what the web page should look like on top, and how firefox is displaying the wrong font on the bottom. This happens on multiple web pages, and this is the second time this is happening to me. The previous time this happened, I uninstalled the font that was being wrongly displayed and everything worked as normal afterward. This time I tried to find and uninstall the font, and wound up uninstalling a bunch of fonts and still having the issue.

I'm aware that there's a setting for me to choose which fonts websites display, and while this allows the correct font to show, it also causes other display issues; as shown in my second image, symbols turn into letters.

Is there another way to resolve this? I'd like to have a solution in case this occurs again.

I created a few virtual hosts and sites on my local machine and this is working perfectly.

Problem is with Firefox, when I enter non-existant url in address bar, Firefox force me to search and don't let me to open the url, but I need to go to this url for testing, developing, etc...

Any solution?

HELP I've been without my email for 2 weeks. I have changed my password in firefox.com/settings/change password and it does not work when I sign in. It does not change the password that is in the "about log ins." and I can't change the password there nor the login page. It uses the old password when I login. I have received an email from firefox to my secondary acct. that the password has been changed ( I don't know if this is important). the email I am trying to access is sales@gclenterprises.com. The secondary account (cpagcl@gclenterprises.com) works fine!

Suddenly, a few days ago, Facebook does not display properly on my laptop. I have an image attached. I can go to another computer, using Firefox and it's fine. I can use Microsoft Edge here on my laptop, and it's fine.. But, here on my laptop, using Firefox. Not good. Other web sites display just fine. Any ideas?

Hello,

Today my Firefox program has crashed again and I thought, now it's time to handle because I am sick of it. What I noticed today is that when I was watching a YouTube video, my monitor screen went black for a second and then came back again, but it turned into green screen of pixels, instead of the actual video. I do not know if this has to do with my GPU (hardware side).

I have had several BSOD with all different stop codes in the past as well, like BAD_POOL_CALLER (most recent) and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.

Furthermore, I've also had "SYSTEM THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED what failed:nvlddmkm.sys", "EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID STACK" and "CACHE_MANAGER" stop codes before, but I haven't seen those anymore after formatting my SSD (went back to W10 after so big issue with W11 which caused me to format my SSD, long story).

I used the WhoCrashed program to determine what the stop codes meant, with further detail (dumps are in the attachment). (If this is relevant:) My first ever screenshotted BSOD, of when it started happening like basically every month, was on September 18, with stop code: "ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY, what failed: dxgmms2.sys". I've also checked the Windows\\System32\\DriverStore\\FileRepository for any weird, duplicate or suspicious folders whatsoever.

I have: - Ran MemTest86 (4 passes) - Ran Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool (no issues found) - Ran GPU test (Heaven benchmark 4.0) (GPU temp below 80 degrees (around 60-70C at 21C room temp) (no error codes in device manager > GPU > properties) - Reset this PC (had to cuz W11 just messed everything up and I had to format the SSD, and went to W10 Pro). I was really hoping for this to fix everything, since it removes like literally everything.

My specs: - CPU: R5 2600X - GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1660ti OC - RAM: 2x 2x8gb ram Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB DDR4-3000 CL15 kit - PSU: BitFenix Formula 550 W ATX

Crash reports: bp-764602db-eac3-4a23-98ec-a1b1d0221115 15/11/2022, 13:37 bp-134f610d-d1d1-476e-b7ae-6c8620221110 10/11/2022, 22:56

As you can see, I've done a lot to solve it myself, but the fact I have come this far to get help from this forum tells me that this is something else. Even (third party) anti-malware programs (malwarebytes, adwcleaner, windows defender) haven't found any viruses. If anyone could help me, then I'd really appreciate that.

I get a window popping up now and then out of nowhere called 'parent process browser console'.

How can I stop this? I've tried looking at the settings of the window (top right corner), but there is no option to stop it from staying active.

The release notes for version 106.0 say: It is now possible to edit PDFs: including writing text, drawing, and adding signatures. [1]

But I see no button or other way to add a signature to the PDF I am viewing.

So, how to do it?

I just posted a question re: my pull-down bookmarks menu disappearing. I stated in the question that my bookmarks themselves weren't gone, just the menu. I stand corrected. They are indeed "gone", i.e. completely inaccessible.

I've written in with this problem before, but got no emailed notification of replies, and don't know how to locate my previous post. The problem has happened again today.

I was running Firefox with four Windows open (fewer than I used to before this problem started happening) and maybe a dozen or more tabs in each window. Suddenly, all four windows disappeared, and when I got Firefox restarted, only three of the windows came back. There was no trace at all of the one I had been using (probably looking at a YouTube video), and the "History" top menu item had the "Recently Closed Windows" tab greyed out. So my window was lost without any trace of ir or of the tabs it contained.   Much like this has happened before, except that on this occasion, the window I was actually using was the one that disappeared. No error messages appear.

I always have Chrome running at the same time, with two windows open. I've not experienced any such problem there.

I'm using a desktop PC with Windows 10. I also have a laptop, similarly configured which has not suffered the same problem. (No Chrome there.) I'm running a paid for version of Avast on both machines.

I down loaded a new version of Firefox and now my old password will not work. If I open the new revised Firefox I will loose all my data particularly my bookmarks? I took the laptop to ubreakifix and they said they need the password.

I'm experiencing the same problem as described by the user in the post at [1] --- in short, every time I delete an old certificate from my browser, it appears to be successful, but then when I refresh firefox I see that the old certificate is in fact still there. I tried the solutions described in [1] (deleting the cert9.db and cert8.db with firefox closed) but my problem persists. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm using Firefox 106.0.5 on Mac OS Catalina.
