I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I just downloaded the new Mac Ventura update, and when I opened Firefox all my previous tabs opened up, but my Toolbar completely disappeared, as in there is an empty space for it, and they show when I click on Bookmarks, but not on the actual browser window. The same thing happened with my Add-on extensions, all disappeared, and they're not even showing in my library. When I tried to download them again online, every single one gave me a red error message "An unexpected error occurred during installation." Please advise what's going on and/or how I can fix this to get my normal browser back. Thanks

After a mistaken forced restart (inadvertent pressure on the shutdown/start key), one of the 3 windows I had open is invisible. It shows in the 'Windows" menu as one of 3 but when I select it - nothing. It does not show as a recently closed window in History. I have restarted Firefox multiple times, including deleting the xulstore.json file then restarting (a fix from another similar thread).

How can I restore this inaccessible window?

Thanks

Hello,

Occasionally I select a bookmark in my menu bar that has become orphaned. Once on the page, I select the "Blue Star" and then try to remove the bookmark for that page to no avail. The bookmark remains even after shutting down and restarting Firefox (sync is off). Moreover, there are some bookmarks for which the "Remove Bookmark" option is not available after selecting the Blue Star.

I know that I can delete unwanted bookmarks using the Bookmark Manager but that method is time consuming when it comes to unknown, orphaned bookmarks that one stumbles upon from time to time. The aforementioned technique for removing these orphaned bookmarks is quicker assuming it worked.

Perhaps the Blue Star could remain filled in once a page is saved and subsequently returned too. Should one wish to remove the bookmark one need only return to the page and deselect the filled in Blue Star thus returning it to its outlined form while also removing the bookmark from ones menu.

Thoughts?

Suddenly i keep getting this error code. After trying things like refreshing Firefox, using No Proxy option and still getting this error. I dont know what to do, except for changing the browser.

Dear Firefox Community

I’m a Mac user. I’ve been a happy Firefox user for about eight years or more, with few problems. The only main one has been the refusal of Firefox to update automatically, even though I’ve ticked the box in preferences for this to happen so I always have to update by restarting Firefox manually and downloading it again.

I’m currently using Firefox 78.8.0esr. It needs updating, and I’ve tried about six or seven times over the last 6 weeks (most recently to Firefox 90.0.2dmg). Every time I do this, however, Firefox loses memory of me - and all my bookmarks (you’ll understand that after eight years there are a few hundred of these) disappear. I’ve copied them in in various ways (most recently by importing my Firefox bookmarks from 78.8.0 into Safari and then into Firefox 90 - and it works for about 12 hours or so, but then on the second or third time I open it reverts to the bookmarkless screen as if I’m a completely new user (with a really irritating picture of Soraya who is a Firefox fan and presumably is exempt the kind of problems I’m having).

Can you explain what is happening please, and how I can overcome this?

Thanks,

Steve Charters

edited email from public and search/spam bots view as this is a public community forum. Also moved this thread from iOS section (for iPhones/iPad) to desktop Firefox section as you are using a Mac.

In google the color choices are gone, and I can't highlight anything. On many websites many colors/graphics are gone. When I try to click in a box, nothing happens. I cannot even get the box below where I say yes to getting email when the question is answered. Twitter is a bunch of boxes and outlines now, and doesn't look at all as Twitter used to look. I have tried turning the Mac on and off. This is a desktop computer.

Hello community, please help:

I'm running a macbook Pro with macOS Big Sur Version 11.4

I'm using Firefox 91.0.1 (64-bit)

For some reason - maybe an update - websites and images are no longer loading correctly. I've attached some screenshots (comparing Chrome to Firefox) so you can see the issues.

Please help me get FF back to normal. Its basically useless for now.

Thanks, Jason

Hi volunteers, thank you.

I have been using Firefox for ever - on my macbook air, catalina, usig 91.01.01 Firefox version.

Until last week everything was fine - -then all of a sudden images and icons on some website were not loading properly, if at all. like www.microsoft.com and www.mandalina.com . The images are fine on Safari just not FF.

I erased FF and cleaned everything and uploaded a new browser, same problem.

Have I accidentally done something ?

Thanks

Good morning,

I face a problem since last wednesday with my MacAir (the sites I use are not showing properly (police characters, color). This only happens on my MacAir (not on my Imac nor on my Ipad) and only when on Firefox (correct on Safari). see the screen captures below. The first one is on Safari, the second on Firefox.

Can anyone help me. Thanks Annie

MacOS Big Sur, when using the "Clash for window" software to open the system proxy, the Firefox browser cannot access google.com, but other websites can be accessed

Firefox has been working great for me for many years. I prefer it to Safari on my iMac. Suddenly it has stopped displaying my news content from Newser on my Earthlink home page. I have troubleshooted with Earthlink and they are not at fault. Also, when I use the Safari browser, I have no problem viewing Newser content on my Earthlink home page. Firefox is saying that I am not connected to the internet, which is false. Any ideas how to get back my news content on Firefox? Thanks for any ideas.

My Firefox change automatic change language. When restart firefox looks ok but after sometime automatic change launguage. Please check attached screenshot. I am using Mac book pro 13in version and other thing attached.

Certain site show what looks to be Chinese writing in the menu and description. Videos for those site will not play. This just happen today. Is there something going on with firefox? what would be the best fix?

So, recently I cleared my history and cookies in Firefox. After doing this I am unable to log into Netflix with Firefox. It tells me that my password is incorrect. I can log into Netflix with Chrome and Safari. I even updated my Netflix password. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I seemed to try everything I found at the net, but since I updated to Mac OS Monterey, Chinese and other non Latin Charaters don't show up. It works with Chrome and Safari, What's the problem.

I look forward to you help asap.

Thanks, Carolyn

btw: can't upload screenshots  : (

cmd+numbers on alphanumeric keys should switch to respective tab (cmd+1 to 1st tab, cmd+5 to fifth...). With CZ keyboard layout on MacOS, cmd+1 does NOT switch to first tab, it Zooms In instead. No other browser (Edge, Safari, Opera, Orion) exhibits this behaviour. Other numbers work as expected.

FF 98.0.2 on Monterey 12.2.1.

How do I fix this? Thanks.
