I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

When I change the name of the browser from "Firefox 64.0.app" to "Firefox.app", and launch "Firefox.app", it forgets all my bookmarks. How can I tell "Firefox.app" to use the bookmarks of "Firefox 64.0.app"?

I get these updates just to stop the annoying side popup/down. But what I get usually is no use to me and my browsing. What it seems to me is most update's "Fixes" are just for the dudes that keep playing with/building on the browser and screwing it up.

Plus I don't get to see WHAT the new update fixes are UNTIL I've downloaded the update.
 I sure wish that you...someone.... puts the option BACK IN where a person can stop/ignore updates....COMPLETELY! 
With the last 2 or 3 updates it seems... for my use of the browser... makes it a hell of a lot SLOWER. And a ton more pauses and crashes.  
Firefox was a great browser 10 years ago but with all these geeks playing with it and trying to make it ONLY to suit his/her needs is making it a pain.
 Thanks for anyone reading this.

Good afternoon,

I've got a problem with add-ons while using Squid MITM Proxy with a custom certificate for Firefox/LibreWolf.

While I'm trying to update / install an extension / theme, it fails with:

``` 1686147276233 addons.xpi WARN Download of https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4104397/witchdoctor-2.0.xpi failed: [Exception... "Certificate issuer is not built-in." nsresult: "0x80004004 (NS_ERROR_ABORT)" location: "JS frame :: resource://gre/modules/CertUtils.sys.mjs :: checkCert :: line 177" data: no] Stack trace: checkCert()@resource://gre/modules/CertUtils.sys.mjs:177 onStopRequest()@resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIInstall.jsm:2514 ```

How can I install an add-on while using the MITM proxy?

Hi

Can anyone finally explain to me how can I get rid of the most annoying Google pop up screen in my Mozilla browser? I am unable to find a straight answer, everyone is suggesting some sort of plugin that blocks popups but it didn't work for me.

Amazon is wonky in Firefox. Screenshot of Amazon homepage in Firefox. Screenshot of Amazon homepage in Chrome, both screenshots taken at 10:30 am Pacific Time 06/07/2023.

Two questions, please

1) My Firefox ANT add-on extension apparently has a file "time limit" set to greater than 2 minutes. In other words, if I try to download a file online that is 2 minutes or less in time (i.e.- an audio file), the ANT application does see recognize or allow it. Is there a way to change this so that any file, regardless of time, can be downloaded?

2) Whenever I open Firefox, a Mozilla Policy File also opens in a second tab. Is there a way to stop this from happening every single time? It's VERY annoying!

Thanks so much!

we have 2 account sign-in, my browser opens in maximized full screen, however my wife's browser opens in minimized tab on upper left window and she has to press the maximized icon to get to full screen. Could you please advise how I can correct this nuisance.

Thank you>

I'm amazed, just AMAZED I can't find the answer to this with a simple google search, or searching the questions here, and I re-worded my search several times. All the answers I could find, even chatGPT (I know it's not alway sup to date) told me to use this option even though I specifically told it it wasn't there, is anyone aware that sometimes the option isn't there? What gives? Not blaming anyone specifically, but this a really simple question, I'm I the first person it's ever happened to?

I'm trying to fix a sound problem where videos will not play, and this is a suggested step. The sound on youtube videos plays with Google Chrome, so it's not my sound drivers, just with firefox it doesn't play. One of the steps as well was the clear my info, I cleared everything except history, I wished there was a way to back those up, I'll look it up.

Starting firefox in safe mode doesn't fix the problem either.

All 3 Deceptive Content and Dangerous Software Protection check boxes are light blue and can not be changed in my Firefox browser settings. I want to be able to uncheck these settings. How do I do that?

It appears that Deceptive Content and Dangerous Software Protection is connecting with google based on what I have researched and this https://www.makeuseof.com/ways-fortify-firefox-browser/ and I view this as a privacy problem.

Over the years I have accumulated important links in my Firefox Bookmarks bar and passwords file and it would be a disaster if for some reason my hard drive got compromised and I could no longer access them. Is there any way to copy the data to another set-up, independent of my laptop, from where the data could be retrieved in a usable form for display on another laptop or PC? Thanks.

A webpage has 1,200 rows.

I do Select All or drag the cursor from the first row to the last row to highlight all of the rows.

I then do Copy.

When I do Paste (using Match Destination Formatting) to paste the copied rows into an empty Excel spreadsheet, only about 65 rows get posted.

What am I doing wrong?

In the last few days, I have noticed that a number of websites are throwing me SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP errors. Most websites, particularly more modern websites, seem to not have this issue. As some more professional examples, www.twitch.tv and www.dndbeyond.com throw this error. I have tried setting temporarily TLS version fallback limit and min to 0, with no change. I'm not really sure how to go about debugging what cyphers these websites do support and why they are throwing these errors. Any help on where to start would be greatly apprecaited.

I often restore tabs and browser sessions using the Tab Session Manager addon, with lazy loading and the discarded property enabled.

This loads tabs quickly with their favicons, but sometimes it fails to load certain tabs and loads new tab pages in their place instead which gets really frustrating. I could turn off the discarded property, but then it loads the page again and adds an entry to my browsing history which I don't want, it doesn't when the property is on. If I turn it off entirely then all the tabs would load, and too many at once would lag my computer.

Sometimes though, Firefox just doesn't load favicons and I want to load them manually. I'd like a way to load the favicon for a tab without loading the whole page.

Hi Team,

Can you please let me know, if any alternative way copy all bookmarks from Avast Browser To Firefox browser.

I have tried Import Wizard from Firefox but unable to see Avast Browser in the list, restart the pc and re-launched firefox import wizard , still unable to see Avast brower in the list

Run the firefox installer again - no go

Attacted firefox import wizard screenshot, if anyone knows alternative ,please let me know

Thanks Mallik

We downloaded the GPO Templates for AD and looking to customize Firefox.

We would like to disable Forms and Autofill: Autofill addresses Autofill credit cards

Also would like to lock down so they can't reenable if possible.

We would like to do this all through GPOs if possible. I found these in the about:config: extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled extensions.formautofill.creditCards.enabled

But again want to do through the GPO. Is this possible?

Side note while working on GPOs, I set Exceptions for the popup blocker and they are not showing up in the browser. I also filled out to remove Search Engines but they all still appear in the browsers. These two GPO settings don't appear to be working.

I am extremely angry that I decided to move from Chrome to Firefox for a safer browser just for Firefox to lose all my login information I accumulated after some years of use. I am not sure when or how this occurred but I never received any notification that nothing was syncing or I had been logged out. I want all my login information restored. On top of that, I've always had issues with Twitch.tv and any video site crashing. My only concern is my logins being restored.
