I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

When I try to visit a specific journal site that requires authentication, the browser automatically redirects me to an authentication page that I have used before. This is very annoying because every time I click a link to the journal, I’m sent to the other portal and can’t access the article. I want to stress that I haven’t installed any add‑on that would cause this redirection. I think I did that myself manually but I have no idea how. I’ve already deleted the cookies for both sites, but nothing has changed. I hope that makes sense, it’s a bit difficult to explain.

I'm using firefox 147.0, on mac Tahoe 26.2.

Thanks for the help !

I have a Windows 7 PC. IE no longer works. I would like to use Firefox to access the Internet. Firefox offers a version for download. I got it using my Windows 11 PC, however it fails saying that it can only be installed on Windows 10. Can this be fixed? I cannot access the Internet from my Windows 7 PC.

When I start Firefox on Windows it does not open all the Windows it had last time even though that option is selected in settings. It seems random on which Windows open.

Then I start one Window at a time and restore my tabs from bookmarks. Once I have done that I have all the Windows in the order I want, with the tabs I want.

Then for no apparent reason some of the Windows disappear and/or the Windows change order. This is very frustrating.

How do I get Firefox to always open the Windows in the correct order and keep them displayed in that order?

Just updated the latest. Unable to use my account?? Unable to contact you from my laptop? What happened!!!! [phone number removed] cell phone. Please message me on this device. 1/21/2026. . 6 am

as the title suggests, i am now allowede to copy and paste at all anymore from the browser. and not only that, i am also unable to paste anything i have copied from the browser into another app. i am able to copy and paste from and to any other app, just not anything firefox related

i have checked about:config if anything with cut, copy, clipboard etc is set to true, and it was

i have refreshed firefox multiple times, which fixes it for 3 minutes and then im back to the same problem

i have uninstalled firefox, removed the local files, rebooted my pc, reinstalled firefox. and that didnt work

i stopped all addons, and i tried safe mode

i am at a loss what is going on with my firefox

also to add, i tried a firefox fork (librewolf) and from that i am able to copy and paste from and to the browser, which makes it even weirder

Just lately, Firefox has been going on about Profiles, I don't know why. I have no need for such things, yet in my Windows menu, everything says "– Original profile" at the end. All this does is make things difficult to see. How can I get rid of it, please?

Just received message, by LIFEHACKER, originally discovered by LAYER X, about "17 malicious extensions across numerous browsers", the list which includes Firefox and is supposedly a recent event outside of the earlier (?) event involving the Malware Ghost Poster in downloads previously cleansed by Firefox. Is this old news or is there more Malware that is 'out there' or that could be on my computer without my knowledge? (I do not download willy-nilly....) Would appreciate valid insight if it is just repetitious/old info rehashed for shock value. Thanks!

I set the about:config settings when I got the new computer early last year. It's been working fine. Suddenly, searches are popping up again to the urlbar.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar is still set to false. Keyword.enabled is still set to false.

I see a couple of site references to browser.fixup.alternate.enabled, but it doesn't exist.

How do I get FF back to proper search in the search bar?

Why am I seeing this message on windows 11 and not on my windows 10 machine. I am still using th internet on both machines on the same network but you tube on W11 is constantly having to be refreshed. BRAVE works fine.

I reinstalled Firefox on my laptop after it crashed. I also have Firefox on my iPhone. The profile there is up to date. How do I sync that profile to the laptop installation?

This image is one of a series of similar messages I get. Incredibly, this has even after a 2-step verification is competed.

I have no problem with Yahoo in Chrome. No problem with the Yahoo email mobile app.

I am not a Chrome fan, but It is not unusual for me to have to use Chrome to avoid random website behavior issues with Firefox.

My screen has recently been drowned in completely uninteresting and unwanted boxes with various contents, signed Mozilla Firefox, that I have to keep clicking 'dismiss' on to get rid of - how can I make this unwanted invasion of my screen stop????

When using Firefox on a Mac, how can we set the Mozilla VPN to one specific country for one tab only? There are instructions for doing so, but it's only applicable to Firefox for Windows.
