Hello there All,

Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS from the earlier 22.04. I have Upon logging into yahoo Email on Firefox version- 147.0.4, the message - "Something went wrong We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device." is coming up. (Please refer to attached screen shot) All attempts with alternate method - with recovery methods were not success full (on Firefox)

Where as - Yahoo Email log in is successful on theses two: (1)chrome browser on the same machine (having Ubuntu 24.04) and on (2) on yahoo app on other device.

Please refer to screen shot. ( Earlier - it worked fine with Ubuntu 22.04 on firefox)

Can some knowledgeable people help me on this. Thanks!!

Hello, If I had to sign into my gmail account in order to download Firefox browser, does that mean that my new tablet (that did not have my gmail identity on it before) is now fully enmeshed with the Google identity, even though I will not use it on this new tablet?

So I have two Google accounts, let's call them Antelope and Bear. Antelope is my "main" account, but I use Bear for a lot of things too, which includes Gemini. So, if I want to use the Gemini chatbot option on Firefox's sidebar, it would make the most sense to use it under my Bear account, since that way I can access my previous chats and all that. However, when I open the Gemini chatbot, it automatically logs me in as Antelope. And when I click on the account's profile picture to swap to Bear, it instead opens the Gemini site on a new tab, in which I am indeed logged in as Bear, but the sidebar remains stuck on the Antelope account. I've tried the "reload Gemini" option, restarting Firefox, and clearing the cache, but nothing works. I think I could fix it by logging out of both accounts, then logging in only as Bear, letting the sidebar "grab" that account, and then logging in as Antelope, but I wanted to know if there's an easier/cleaner way to go about it. Thank you in advance.

On my steam deck, from time to time, the firefox's touchscreen support seems to switch modes.

The symptoms are:

- Instead of scrolling, one-finger touch-and-drag now zooms in and out (depending on direction)
- The touchscreen no longer lets me select or close tabs, or focus or click in-page widgets
- This mode-switch is restricted to the firefox window in which it happens
  - Moving the tab to a new window results in the new window working fine
  - Other existing windows are unaffected (although they may later experience a touch mode switch  event)

I have yet to determine what triggers this switch, nor can I figure out how to undo it.

Hi,

Since last week I am unable to properly use some websites that are failing due to CORS requests, but they were working before. Some examples are es.webuy.com or a local Jellyfin instance. After trying to enable/disable some settings that I thought could be related to the problem, like security levels, I ended up creating a new profile. In this new profile everything works, but as soon as I synchronize my Mozilla account, then these websites start failing again with CORS requests errors.

Any idea about what setting might it be the one causing problems? Or any idea about how can I debug/troubleshoot it myself?

Thanks!

I'm exploring Steam Deck desktop mode more and I'm running into issues with Firefox not rendering some videos on my personal website. I wasn't sure if it was a Steam Deck, KDE Plasma, Firefox, or an issue with something else, so I tested the same website with Vivaldi and the video played without any issues. This makes me feel like it's probably Firefox, but not totally sure yet.

I've already tried adjusting the autoplay media permissions for the website from the default to "Allow Audio and Video" in case that was doing something. I've also tested in Troubleshoot mode to see if the one extension I have installed was causing any issues and that didn't change anything either. Any other ideas I can try? Or, is there some way to determine if this needs a bug fix/there's nothing I can do on my end?

I am trying to access my QNAP NAS configuration page within my home LAN from a newly installed Linux PC with Firefox 147.0.1. Firefox won't let me access the page, popping up an error page:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nessy.fritz.box. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

I have verified that the claimed risk is nonexistant, but Firefox does not allow me to bypass the warning. There is no "Proceed anyway" or "Advanced..." button as claimed in various help articles.

How can I convince Firefox that I know what I am doing?

NB: The same page is accessible, also with Firefox 147.0.1, from a Windows PC.

my favorite browser firefox isnt enough help to keep my privacy secure (Its 100% confirmed)

I just learnt that my internet provider is blocking some domain like web.telegram.org which is very annoying. The solution i found on internet is vpn or tor browser.

Am i expecting something from firefox that it cant help me with?

A free vpn or tor browser like functionality?

I am so sorry to go away from it but look like if there is no way firefox can help me secure my privacy then i will have to.

Please try to be friend and help like a friend

I run Firefox on Fedora Linux (Silverblue). For several releases I've noticed that the reader mode only displays the Close Reader View, Text and Layout, and Theme options and nothing else i.e. no content.

When I run it in troubleshooting mode, it works. I've tried disabling all my extensions, deleting all my extensions,restoring the browser to default settings but nothing makes a difference. I'm always on the latest release (currently 147.0.3). I currently have multiple profiles, but it didn't work even before I rebuilt them. I'm out of ideas.

Any help is appreciated

Environment - OS: Omarchy - File manager: Nautilus (running as --gapplication-service) - Desktop portals: xdg-desktop-portal + xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland (+ gtk fallback) Firefox: latest stable from Arch repositories

Observations Only one Firefox process is running (pgrep -a firefox). Only one Nautilus process is running, but it receives two open requests, resulting in two windows. The issue does not occur in Chromium/Chrome, which opens only one window. Running xdg-open <file> manually opens one Nautilus window.

Portal logs show GTK being chosen as last-resort fallback, but system-wide XDG configuration appears correct.

Question

Is this a known Wayland/portal bug in Firefox? Are there recommended debugging flags or patches to trace the duplicate launch request?
