I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi! Even if i'm an old user of Firefox, i'm new to this support/forum thing, so I apologise if i'm in the wrong place. Today, after watching some videos on a specific youtube channel, i noticed that the channel appeard on the "highlights" section in the home page of Firefox. Nothing strange in that, but i noticed that the thumbnail of the user of that youtube channel was in high definition in the "highlights", even if when I viewed the page information of YouTube, on the media tab, I wasn't able to find an image with such an hight resolution. I would be clear: I'm not talking about the YouTube red logo, but on the user's channel image (rounded, near the name). The "moz-page-thumb://thumbnails/?url........" have a resolution of 448px x 448px. The image on youtube have the maximum resolution of 176px x 176px. So... Where have Firefox finded that image?? Is there involved some kind of upscaling?? I really appreciate the hard work of Mozilla, and I hope that will go on on this way.

Hello Community! Till today I use Firefox as browser , but everytime I tick on Firefox logo > Bing comes ! Even I prefer Firefox as browser > Bing popups ! How can I delete Bing browser ??? Thank you and greetings from Haris !

(backstory) I've run into a strange error. When I use the url box, there is a wildly annoying "Did you mean...?" NO! I MEANT WHAT I TYPED!!! My solution was to just use the search bar. I like this solution. But now I need to get the cursor to default in the search box when I open a new tab.

(problem) I am having trouble changing the default location of the cursor when I open a new tab. I'd like to go to the search box, not the URL box.

Hi there!

I'm using Firefox Nightly version 88.0a1 (2021-03-19) (64-bit) at the moment. And I couldn't help but notice that the native screenshot option is absent from my adress bar menu.

It is avaiable at the customization options, but I don't know if it's possible to get it back "inside" the address bar.

Can someone help me out?

I changed the email address for my Firefox Account today, which involved entering my password. The password was not recognized, despite having been used without any problems in the past, and being stored unchanged in my password manager.

I managed to reset the password using my Recovery Key, logged in with it successfully, then tried to create a new Recovery Key to replace the now obsolete one. The process failed at the first step, however, claiming an incorrect password. I reset once more, again logged in with it successfully, and yet again I get an incorrect password error when trying to generate a new Recovery Key.

Obviously the password is working fine as I've successfully used it to log into this Support forum.

What could be the issue here?

Hello,

Just after installing debian buster in my computer, I could use firefox to download some other programs, that was a week ago. Now I can't use it. When I open the browser and type any URL it just stays loading the page, even when I type about:config I get the same behaviour. I have --reinstall the pagacke, removed profile, start firefox in safe mode, but nothing. I'll really appreciate your help.

Hello,

I love Firefox's reader mode's "Listen" or read aloud function. I use it all the time for my academic papers as it helps to drill the information into my head to read and listen to the content.

However, there was an 11x4 table with only numbers in each table cell, and I could not get the read aloud narrator to jump ahead to a later section. When I hit the "Forward" or skip ahead button, it just went to the next cell, and it was a very clunky experience getting to the end of the table.

Does anyone know a way to skip ahead in the content, such as skipping a table or selecting a point in the content to begin reading aloud?

Thanks a ton in advance! It's an incredible community that we have here. Max

After logging in with my firefox account on another firefox browser all my bookmarks haven't sync. is there something that needs to be done in order to pull the bookmarks from my account? i don't have any access to the old computer anymore

Recently, I think it was yesterday when I updated FireFox developer to 88.0b2 (64bit) on my OS Windows 10 Pro (x64) 22H2 19042.870.

Firstly I noticed "take screenshot" option dissapeared from "3 dots" on the URL bar. Secondly, the "paste" (right click or CTRL + V) stopped working.

I cannot paste text neither from my Notepad or some Text Editor as usuall to some input field or textarea on some Website.

I can copy text from some input field of an Website, but cannot paste the text inside it from a Windows Explorer or whatever.

What is that wrong with FireFox stable/unstable versions?

I've had problems on "normal" FireFox, now I got them either on "developer". I really like this browser, but more and more it seems I would need to switch to some other just because.

dear people and fire fox i recently switched from crome to firefox. but now I get a black block on all the websites that I visit, which suddenly appears and later also disappears. tried everything and firefox customer service is hard to get to. so any idea is welcome.

Hello my number 1 browser community. I have a problem with fire fox starting super slow. I use firefox nightly(i love it!) but i tried all the stuff in the solutions area for fixing slow start up but none of them help. I always use only 2 add ons and they are the same add ons i have been using for years. i have had this problem for like almost 2 years and i dont know what to do. i tried re-installing, refreshing, clearing cache, safe mode but nothing fixes it. The 2 add ons i use is ublock origin and https everywhere, please help me guys cause sometimes it takes up to even 4 mins for firefox to start.

I am using aframe and roboto font in (msdf https://aframe.io/docs/1.2.0/components/text.html#stock-fonts). Font is not showing correctly on my linux machine (Fedora silverblue). Can you give me hint how to fix it. I should see font at https://ndmspc.gitlab.io/ndmvr

Using Firefox on one system, it pops up the "dangerous and deceptive content" message on sites that are fine, like mine and a friend's, but on my other system, no warnings for the same sites. It doesn't do it for google.com or msn.com, and no one else gets the warning for the sames sites I am.

Other than turning off the security setting, is there a way to fix this problem? It wants to block me on many sites I've been going to for years.

Sometimes when I’m browsing I’ll have random black rectangles appear on my screen. Usually minimizing or pulling it to a window and then bringing it back to full screen gets them to go away, but not always. I’ve attached a few pictures, but it probably happens a few times a day at least

My god, this is driving me nuts. I will decide if and when I want to "update" a program, excepting of course the steaming pile that is Windows 10 where they cram it down your throats, often at a profoundly inconvenient time.

But after doing some upgrades to an old computer and installing v. 86 of FF, two days later it's in constant nag mode. I've shut off everything I can, I've tweaked about:config so much it's a wonder it still works at all. Everytime I start up the computer it displays a notification about do I want to allow FF to make changes. Not no, it's hell no. Everytime I start up FF I get a popup, (uh, wasn't FF supposed to have eliminate them?) nagging at me to upgrade. Then if I'm on for a while it nags me again. The more I get nagged, the more I push back. Now I may break something, FF, keyboard, whatever, but nagging me will not result in me doing what the nag wants. "Updates" over the years have made so many more things worse than better I can't even count. I've been using FF for ~15 years, generally been happy with it, but this is driving me nuts. How to I fix it? Fix, as in repair so it works like I want it to and like it used to. It's broken. Or should I just migrate to another browser?

Bear with me there's a bit of a story.

One of the apps I most use is MightyText. It allows me to send texts from my desktop computer's web browser. When FireFox automatically updated to the newest version, something didn't work right and MightyText stopped being able to connect.

My workaround was to use System Restore to go back in time so to speak. But FireFox is pretty aggressive with their updates, and eventually that stopped being a work around.

I tried to install an older version of FireFox manually but I couldn't ever get my profile to work right.

So, I've landed somewhere where FireFox has updated to the latest version, AND MightyText works just fine.

But now the problem is I cannot use any of my add-ons. Actually, I can re-fresh FireFox, and start it without any add ons. I can add all my add ons and everything works great, but if I restart my computer, FireFox will not connect to the internet (the wheel just spins) until I refresh again and wipe out all the add-ons. After doing so, all my tabs are restored, all my saved passwords, etc--and I can add back the add-ons and they will work until FireFox Crashes or I restart the computer, but then FF won't connect to the internet and around and around we go.

What's up?
