I-Firefox Community Forum

Today I went to TikTok, was using it earlier in the day also, when it showed me logged out and when I go to log in using my email, a windows security pop up shows, saying that I should insert my security key into the USB, something I don't have, and that this is being asked because of Firefox, which I can click cancel, but when I try to sign in with my email, I can't seem to, the password doesn't seem to be working, and can't sign in with the QR code through the phone which connects with the app. Still signed in just fine on Chrome and the app on my phone, so not sure what is up, as that shows my password should be fine due to neither of those logging me out if my password had been changed.

That I changed one thing yesterday related to something "secure", was that I enabled SecureBoot in BIOS, because games like Battlefield require it now for the anti-cheat and I'm curious if this has somehow affected this in some way as that's the only thing that changed recently for me.

One of if not my most favorite addon "context search" has recently been flagged as violating mozillas tos. I'm talking about this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/contextsearch

I am unable to find further explanation or the exact reason for this decision, but I am able to activate it again at my own risk. Seeing as I don't know what the problem is, I am hesitant to do so. Could someone explain what the issue is and if it's safe to continue using that addon? Am I or is my personal information at risk, since I have been using the addon regularly?

When I click on a link, it opens in a new tab. I do not want the link to open in a new tab but to open in the current tab, how can I change to this please? Thanks, Andrew.

I cannot get certain videos to play on Firefox. YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr all can play videos. Pretty much everything else doesn't work. Patreon, I get a black screen. On Twitch, I can only see the 'not currently streaming' screen, even if they're currently live, and VODs don't work. My computer specs are below. Operating system is Windows 10, I use Windows Defender for anti-virus. Everything works completely fine in other browsers. Here's everything I've tried to fix this:

• Updating Firefox
• Updating my computer
• Running in Incognito
• Running in troubleshooting mode
• Allowing autoplay
• Disabling hardware acceleration
• Disabling addons
• Clearing cache and data
• Enabling/disabling DRM content
• Installing Windows Media Pack

My specs: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable) Storage 932 GB HDD TOSHIBA DT01ACA100, 477 GB SSD Micron 2300 NVMe 512GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB) Device ID C6C4BD2F-BD36-40B6-A917-13896770194D Product ID 00325-82058-09721-AAOEM System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

This has been going on for over a year now. I've gone through all of the above troubleshooting steps multiple times. The only progress I've made is getting YouTube from nonfunctional to working again.

every website i go to says I have AdBlock Plus enabled as an extension, ad-on or whatever. I can not find it anywhere in the extensions menu, add-ons manager, etc. to turn it off... I have looked in every folder and area that I can, looked through my entire account info, profile, security, extensions, plug-ins, etc. Can you please help me find it so I can turn it off, uninstall etc.

Thank you for your help!

No matter how many times I visit Amazon.com, it WILL NOT show up on my Home Screen as an ICON. I have tried 2 Rows and 4 Rows. I visit amazon many times in a week, sometimes many times in a day and it never shows up on the Home Screen after my last Firefox Upgrade to 142.0. Before the upgrade, it was always on my Home Screen. I have deleted many ICONS hoping it would somehow fill in as I visit Amazon - but it's not happening.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Twitter/X does not display, only an error message that says Twitter/X does not work with Firefox' advanced tracking (or similar). Requesting someone at Firefox and someone at Twitter/X get together and fix this so these two entities play nice with each other. Thank you in advance.

I find recovering deleted bookmarks difficult in Firefox. Typically, I am told: "on August 12 you deleted 12,540 bookmarks. Do you want to recover them all and over-write your existing bookmarks?" To which the answer is obviously, no.

What I want is a system much more similar to the Microsoft File Explorer Recycle Bin, which lists deleted files on an individual basis, so if I have deleted a file, I can see its name, the date it was deleted, and where it came from, and I can restore that particular file. Or, since we are talking bookmarks here, recover a particular bookmark.

How can I achieve that? Is it possible?

I was prompted to install a .js file while on a website unrelated to mozilla organization. I was taking a work call and distracted at the time and was dumb enough to install it before I realized this was not a normal update. Should I uninstall and reinstall firefox?
