I-Firefox Community Forum

I was working on strengthening my passwords using firefox as my browser and roboform. I had a us bank site open also at the time. I did not change that user id or password. However, ever since then I am unable to sign in to my us bank site. It brings up the site but as soon as I click to sign in, it greys the screen. I am able to sign in to every other site I have tried on the firefox browser. I am also able to sign in to my us bank site on at least two other browsers without issue. What has happened and how can I fix firefox to allow me to use it? The us bank site is not an app. Thank you.

So, I'm switching from Chrome and there's this one thing I can't seem to be able to replicate in firefox.

When I start my day I usually open several tabs from different pages of the same website. In Chrome, I would do that by: -typing the name of the website in my address bar -all the pages I frequently visited in that website show in my suggestions -I middlemouse-click all of them, one after the other -this opens one new tab for all of them -I then switch to those tabs and browse them

However, replicating this in firefox seems impossible. When middle-mouse-clicking the 1st link, I would have my window forcibly switch to it, not letting me open the other tabs without changing tabs again. Recently I learned I can avoid this forced switch by middle-mouse-clicking the URL on my address bar while holding shift, which is great! . . . Except it still closes my address bar, not letting me click the other ones without having to type the website's name in it again.

I don't mind holding shift (though I wish I didn't have to) but I really just want to middle mouse click multiple links in my address' suggestion bar and open them in succession, without shifting back to it after each time.

Version 128.0.3 (64-bit) What’s new Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint

When I visit a page which contains a Google Doc spreadsheet or try to open a Google Spreadsheet the page often fails to render properly and what I see is my desktop background instead of the Google doc element or Google doc sheet. Please see attached. This has been happening for ages and I resorted back to Chrome for such pages but now I'd like to see if it can be resolved.

There has to be a way, but I can't find it. How do we enlarge the font size for tabs, toolbar, favorites, search bar etc. I like that we can customize the colors but the font size seems to have been left out. I know we can ctrl + to enlarge what's in the browser window but this has no effect on the actual browser fonts. They are wayyyy to tiny. Is there a fix for this?

I don't want my search queries to be saved in the firefox search bar. I usually open a new tab with Ctrl+T, hit Ctrl+K to go to the search bar and hit enter without any keywords. This opens the search engine page (in my case google.com)

Now hitting enter with an empty search bar does nothing. Started happening with the new version 128.

Is there a shortcut alternative to opening the search engine in a new tab?

I have downloaded and deleted Firefox a dozen times and history and cache and still it is not allowing me to have the Chose User Profile to pop up

I have been trying for the last 2 days to get the Firefox -Choose User Profile to come up and each time I add the below in the terminal

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/Firefox-bin -P

I get

Alans-MacBook-Pro:~ alanbmillard$ /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/Firefox-bin -P -bash: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/Firefox-bin: No such file or directory Alans-MacBook-Pro:~ alanbmillard$

So it states no such file or directory when Firefox is definately in the Applications folder

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you in advance

I have had Firefox installed as a backup browser on Windows 10 Home Edition. Due to some strange and possibly non-resolvable issue, I keep having a problem with the Crash Reporter popping up stating that Firefox has crashed, even when Firefox has not been running *at all*. I updated to the latest version of Firefox; this resolved the problem for a few weeks but then Crash Reporter started popping up again. I might mention that when I do actually run Firefox, it comes up and runs fine, with no problem or crashing. I would like to know if there is some relatively simple way to disable the Crash Reporter itself from coming up.

I used to be able to save bookmarks by selecting in a dropdown menu where I would like to to save the bookmark. I no longer see a dropdown menu when I go to save a page. It automatically saves the last folder used for bookmarks. It is a little confusing because I have to go search for the bookmark and move it into another folder. I don't know if this is due to an update or if I somehow changed the settings but really want to be able to select which folder I am saving my bookmarks to. Can I change this in the settings?

On our web site we have a page that includes mp3 files, which play okay on Firefox; but on another page on the site with mp3 files, Firefox (including different versions on different computers) produces the error message, No video with supported format and MIME type found." FWIW, other browsers like Safari (Mac), Chrome (Mac and Win), and Edge (Win) all play the problematic files without a hitch.

Is there a fix for this problem that can be attempted by the non-tech types?

The "search in page" feature has somehow become hidden behind the taskbar at the bottom of my screen. I can only see it by using F11 to hide the taskbar. Any ideas on making it visible again?

Some months back when I get gmail from the Economist and try to go to an article the gmail links to I get this: Our apologies. An error seems to have occurred. The article actually appears very briefly but then gets overwritten by this error message. I am using an up to date Windows 10 PC.

When I go to Microsoft Edge this behavior does not occur. In Firefox I have tried clearing the data and cache but to no avail.

Any thoughts on dealing with this? I do not want to go through many heroic steps to fix this.

After 129.0 update, Hulu streaming quit working. I have other streaming services that still work fine. I tried it on older version of Firefox 115.14.0esr (64bit) (old pc Win 8.1) and it works fine there. Can I go back to an older version of Firefox or is this a known issue with update?

This is the issue, Hulu website loads and allows you to log in. When you try to stream a show, it plays a commercial then freezes.

I am looking into an issue for someone that is using private browsing and to use a financial app. He has the website in the exception list for pop-ups but every time he opens this app in private browsing it asks for him to allow pop ups. When he added the exception he was in non private browsing mode.

My question is, even with the link to this site added to the exception list, is it completely normal for pop-ups to be blocked every time you open private browsing to the same website?

Today, a white bar about 1 inch wide is at the top of my screen blocking the tool bar and access to other info. How do i remove it?

I have restarted my computer and closed the browser. Still there.

Ever since the last Firefox update that released, the Firefox on my home computer is extremely slow. Takes 5 minutes to load a page. I open Chrome or Edge and everything loads extremely fast no issues. I do not want to leave Firefox as it is my favorite browser and has been for many years. What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?
