I-Firefox Community Forum

Any time I allow a website to use my location on my home computer, it places me in a suburb in Las Vegas. However, I live near Seattle. This happens on multiple websites including Google Maps and Uber Eats, and on other browsers my location is correct. I'm not running any VPNs or proxy servers, I've verified that my IP address is linked to my correct location, and I've deleted all cache and cookies ("Everything" for time frame) from my history. Is there a way I can have an accurate location again?

Just switched from PC to Mac and miss the Page Up, Page Down, Home and End buttons. Wondering if there's a Firefox addon or extension to add these functions to a Macbook. I've searched but not found anything. I know I can't be alone in wishing for this!

(I am aware of using "Fn" and the arrow keys on a Mac to do page up and page down, but they are opposite sides of the keyboard and require both hands to scroll by page.)

I use a MacBook Air running on Sequoia 15.5. Firefox was updated several days ago to 140.0.2 (aarch64).

Since yesterday, Firefox has repeatedly stopped running. (It might have started sooner, but I didn't use the computer over the long weekend.) It won't load pages. Sometimes I get the spinning wheel. Usually, I have to force quit.

I've cleared the cache, restarted the browser, and restarted the computer repeatedly. Restarting the computer sometimes helps. Now is not one of those times.

Also, the About Firefox window is open, and the Checking for updates . . . wheel keeps spinning.

There are no connectivity issues otherwise with my computer or other apps.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Do I need to go back to the last version of Firefox? Uninstall/reinstall?

In the past, I would create new profiles in Firefox often on my macOS Macbook pro. I want to merge them all together (merge open tabs and their saved info, cookies, bookmarks, passwords, etc.) into the same profile.

I found this tool: https://github.com/james-cube/firefox-session-merger but I'm not sure if it will do everything I want to do.

Is this possible to do without using Firefox Sync?

In Chrome, for example, if you type "maps" in the address bar, it will autofill to "maps.google.com", which then redirects to the correct URL, "google.com/maps". Initially, it doesn’t do this, but if you do it repeatedly, Chrome eventually learns and sends you directly to that URL when you type "maps". The same happens with "gmail" or even just "gm", which redirect to "gmail.com" or "mail.google.com". Does Firefox have this kind of feature?

I think I browsed a reddit thread from a few years ago asking this same problem having something to do with autofill frequency which doesn't work, because the actual url is not, in the example of maps, maps.google.com and the url I want to enter redirects to it.

I am trying to set up an MMDVM Pi-Star DMR Hotspot for Amateur Radio. The address for the device is http://pi-star. What do I need to do to get https-only mode 100% disabled? The device that I am trying to set up is: Radioddity RHS-H1 MMDVM Hotspot | OLED Screen | Raspberry Pi-Zero W | Support P25/DMR/D-STAR/YSF/NXDN | UHF VHF WiFi Digital Voice Modem | 16G TF Card

I am using Firefox version 140.0.2 on PCLinucOS Debian (Bookworm) Edition.

hello. i downloaded firefox from official void linux repo, and have issue with font rendering or smth. in settings option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" is enabled. don't have same issue in any other gtk apps on my system.

Hello, after a power cut I lost all my bookmarks. When I try "Manage Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore -> Choose File..." nothing happens.

In the folder ".mozilla/firefox/6924v31j.default-1728390329118/bookmarkbackups" there are several backup files, but the newest has the date Jun 25, though the name suggests it's from Jul 2: -rw-r--r-- 23850 Jun 25 13:07 'bookmarks-2025-07-02_184_mg1znof1NbBiyJ14ZcO9SluvTvLZI-rxPSm20YZUJww=.jsonlz4'

In the directory ".mozilla/firefox/6924v31j.default-1728390329118" there is also places.sqlite from Jul 4 11:59 (that was the moment when the power was cut).

How can I restore my bookmarks?

Firefox tabs keep crashing randomly and sometimes the entire thing just crashes and the browser has to be restarted completely. I' have already tried: Updating Firefox Completely reinstalling firefox after I removed all App Data of it. Updated all the drivers that were possible to update. Installed newer codecs (H265)

Nothing so far worked to solve this issue.

In Windows 10 my Firefox Icon lists above the tasks all recent downloads which I do not want for security reasons. I have been deleting one at a time when shutting down. I don't want them there at all. Please help. Thanks

Hi,

 Only in Firefox on my windows 10 pro pc do I have to keep on signing into Homedepot.com with a security code?
 So I looked up the problem and one of the solutions (I tried a few) is to clear the old chache and cookies?
 Trying to do this.... get link after link after link.....after link.

How do you do it?

  Wish I can upload something... but can't upload what you can't find?

Thanks, Julio

Does anybody know how to take screenshots from the Firefox "chrome" context like so: ```js const { GeckoDriver } = ChromeUtils.importESModule(

   "chrome://remote/content/marionette/driver.sys.mjs"

); const image = await GeckoDriver.prototype.takeScreenshot(); ```

The error I get is: "Browsing context has been discarded".

I'm rewriting the text-based browser https://brow.sh and have already been successfully using the screenshotter from the Web Extensions API. And of course I know that I can take screenshots directly from Webdriver (namely GeckoDriver in the case of Firefox), but they're just too slow, having to send the screenshot to Webdriver and then back to the web extension. So there are 2 reasons I'd like screenshots from the chrome context:

1. It'd save me having to manage the Browsh web extension. Having to have both a separate build process and the dedicated signed publishing process isn't fun. 2. The current version of Browsh only renders the "content" context of the browser, which is arguably the most important part I know, but it'd be nice if Browsh could also render things like the permissions dialog, URL history suggestions, etc.

So any other ideas that could address one or both of those points would be much appreciated.

Добрый день! Я создавал аккаунты через расширение мульти-аккаунт в браузере и сейчас все аккаунты удалились с браузера. Есть какая-то возможность вернуть аккаунты? Их было очень много и они очень важны

Hello,

I have no idea who is going to read this, but I was in my Cell Phone companies’ site today and got an error message that Firefox would not show the bill details. Some stupid thing about other web sites and sealing my information. I needed that page and could not see so I had to use another browser (not Chrome or Edge) to get the bill to display.

I then had a coupon to print from an e-mail from my Pharmacy. Again you gave an error message but did download the coupon to where I save things.

I do not want to use Chrome or Edge as they track the S**t out of you. I have another that is laid out like Chrome but supposedly isn’t and I use that. I have to pay for that one. The main thing these browsers don’t have is the Menu Bar at the top and you cannot put it on. I use that to free up screen space that is lost the way they do things.

Can you PLEASE get things right in Firefox so I don’t have to waste my time or worse have to use this other browser I hate.
