Amazon Prime Videos will not play on Fire Fox. The message says to update Firefox, but my browser is up to date as of today, 10-24-23. Their customer service can provide no answer. This has been an ongoing problem for several months. I have tried their trouble shooting steps of restarting my system, signing out and re-signing in on Amazon and closing and re-opening Firefox. Allow DRM content is checked on my settings. Thanks.

For the past few days, the YouTube website has behaving unusually in Firefox. The volume and play/pause controls don't work. The picture in picture mode does not work. And most importantly, the search bar is broken. Whenever I type something and click the search button or press enter, the value entered disappears and I have to type it all again, only that this process goes on for infinite number of times and so, I can't even search for anything on YouTube.

I just downloaded the lasted "update" and suddenly EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE I visit, INCLUDING FIREFOX, is giving me a security error:, Secure connection failed, Firefox did not connect.

This is obviously something in the latest download, because the exact same sites have no problem when i open them in Chrome. In fact, it's the ONLY way I can post this problem, because Firefox is preventing me from accessing the Internet entirely.

Please fix this ASAP, or I will have to move permanently to a new browser. I can't afford this kind of disruption to my work.

I have some javascript bookmarks (basically they just insert the current date in an appropriate place in the URL and then open it. Example at the bottom).

Both just clicking on these bookmark or left clicking and "open in new tab" or "open in new window" works as expected, that is,

  • the computed URL is displayed in the address bar
  • and the page is displayed.

So, fundamentally the javascript bookmarks work as I expect.

Now my problem: If I put this bookmark in a folder (either alone or together with other bookmarks), left click on the folder and select "open all bookmarks" it will open a new tab for each entry and the normal bookmarks are loaded in the tab as expected. But the tab corresponding to the javascript bookmark opens, and

  • displays the javascript code (and not the computed URL)
  • shows a blank page

What do I have to do that "open all bookmarks" also execute the javascript?


Example bookmark: javascript:function%20url(){%20%20%20%20%20%20var%20date%20=%20new%20Date();%20%20%20%20%20%20var%20y%20=%20date.getFullYear();%20%20%20%20%20var%20m%20=%20date.getMonth()+1;%20%20%20%20%20var%20d%20=%20date.getDate();%20%20%20%20%20%20if(m%20<%2010){m%20=%20'0'%20+%20m;}%20%20%20%20%20if(d%20<%2010){d%20=%20'0'%20+%20d;}%20%20%20%20%20%20var%20date%20=%20"/"%20+%20y%20+%20"/"%20+%20m%20+%20"/"%20+%20d;%20%20%20%20%20%20return%20'http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes'+%20date%20+'/';%20%20}%20window.open(url(),"_parent");

I've downloaded, installed and enabled three core, up-to-date addons: IDM, Adaware and Internet downlad helper: however NONE of them show on the toolbar and none of them function. And I've tried (I hope) all internet-search-suggested remedies such as reset Firefox etc. ad nauseam. All without success....

Later version refuses to connect to my modem, and goes into security web mode. This modem uses HTTP/HTTPS for access, i.e., connects directly it's IP address, then the user enters a username and password. At that point, the the modem switches to HTTPS for control.

With this recent update, there is NO WAY to access the modem for any work, or upgrade the HTTPS certificate on the modem. This is a BUG.

What should happen is that if the web site will accept a HTTP connection, Firefox should NOT refuse connection or test for security issues UNTIL the user or the device switches to HTTPS.

As an aside, I've used Firefox on this Zywall modem for years until recently.

Hello. Can someone please explain why Facebook asks for username/password every single time Firefox is restarted? I do not use cookie-cleaning extensions. They also send a 'login attempt' email and phone notification every time.

Tried with and without Facebook Container. Not using other Container/multi-account related extensions. My settings:

Standard Tracking Protection (allow/block exceptions: none) "Do not track" signal: Always Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed: disabled (no exceptions) History - Firefox will: Remember History

My computer 'guru' reinstalled Win10 in order to correct a serious problem. ALL of my programs were gone and I was left with a raw Win10. 6/12/2023 was last date prior to the disaster. I reinstalled Firefox. Using the "firefox.exe -p" I can only find the default profile. I DO HAVE a full backup done using the Win7 Backup and Restore feature. How do I resurrect my most recent profile? I will need to find the files(s) manually from the b/u. When I did a Full Restore the bookmarks didn't appear. Where and what files am I looking for?
