I-Firefox Community Forum

Selecting "Help About Firefox" causes the window to appear but this window then freezes with no information. It is possible to close the window and continue with Firefox. This happen nearly always but occasionally works correctly. Current Firefox version is 146.0 but the problem is not limited this version. System is Kubuntu 24.04, KDE Plasma Version 5.27.12 and QT Version 5.15.13 I have tried several things. Deleting the .Moziila folder will permit the window to work once but after a restart stops working. Any new things to try would be appreciated.

Hi, my location is Venezuela, and seems that I'm being blocked somewhere... I just want to confirm whether this is something on Mozilla's end (considering that their headquarters are in the US), or something on my government's end (since the ISP often blocks websites on orders from the state).

I can't sync my account or log in because of this, and generally, wherever the block comes from, they rarely give any warning. The main page loads normally; it's only the subdomains that are blocked, as far as I can see. For the record, this happens in Firefox for Desktop, and for Android too, wherever I'm on my home, using mobile data or using my office WiFi. This is not a browser error, in the capture u can see that the domains are solved correctly (even using the ISP's DNS), but u can't ping on the IP unless u turn on the VPN.

All Google services work fine for me, and I can't use a VPN all the time, so I'll have to switch to some chromium browser if this goes on too long (even if I don't want to).

Hello again guys,

when I play a video in Firefox, it doesn't keep the screen on.

I need this accessibility feature.

This happens, at least, with Debian 12's Firefox (uptodate), like over 1 year now.

Please help with that too.

Thanks in advance!

How do I disable the cruft which appears in the URLbar? Specifically, the trackers detected symbol, the certificate verified symbol, the bookmark this page symbol, and the question mark symbols which appear on both the URLbar and the searchbar.

I have Firefox set to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" and also "Clear history when Firefox closes" (with everything set to clear except site data).

Then I have an exception list of sites to save cookies and site data for (for example, youtube.com).

The problem I have is that not all of the cookies are deleted when I exit. In addition to the sites on the exception list, there are others not on the list that remain.

For example, in the screenshot, this is a cookie from gleam.io. It's setting it for domain .youtube.com, and this is one of the cookies that remains. I believe it's remaining because youtube.com is on the exception list. However, it should be deleted because it's for the gleam.io site. If I check the browsing data in Firefox after restarting, it shows up as site=gleam.io.

Furthermore, I question whether the cookie should be allowed in the first place, since I have Strict Tracking Protection enabled, which should disable all cross-site cookies.

as the title says it show a wrong font for some websites or sections which is unreadable such as Google search bar, Youtube, Facebook and behaves normally on Wikipedia Google search results(except those of youtube) - the option Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above is unchecked(which makes no difference) - noto fonts is installed - firefox is on last release from the arch repo this issue isn't present in chromium based browsers or any other software in the system - bellow are screenshots which are supposed to give a clearer idea of what the issue might be - thanks

Good day,

when I click in Instagram in the notifications on a comment, I get redirected to to the comment section, but not to that certain comment, so I would have to scroll a lot.

Please help with that.

Thanks a lot!

I will contact Instagram about that now too, as maybe the issue is on their side, or on your side.

Since around version 96 it seemed some new core changes made to how ff operates. any one care to share what the "big changes" were around that version rollout tldr?

since ver 96 ff became secondary browser. Using to test/isolate issues w/chromium (sigh). Now since ver 132 profile manager opens browser for correct profile everything looks good then 20seconds later ff crashes eorror: Exiting due to channel error

Inspiringly i see this forum is being used still so thought i would see if anyone has ideas what changes btwn ver 96/101 and 132 which may cause this new issue, maybe i can backout the changes and get back to using ff as a secondary backup again ....

IDK about anyone else but i LOOOOONG for the ole days when ff was a daily driver option on linux

I had so many instances of firefox and tabs that i decided i must organize them on tabgroups, i read they were secure enough and would be restored along with open tabs on new session. But after restarting all my "close and save" tab groups are missing! are they still saved? how can i recover them?

Hello. I'm having trouble with bookmark icons in my browser. Sometimes the icons show up, but sometimes only the globe appears. I've tried everything, including installing the "Bookmark Icon Loader" and "Bookmark Tab Icon Changer" add-ons, but it didn't help. Is there a way I can change them manually in the browser itself without any add-ons?

why is it a web site accessed couple days ago, now times out trying to re-access it another day?

i called the web place in question and their system is up.

thank you

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

Hello! I have a problem with GeForce NOW in Firefox. When I launch any game, the cursor freezes and does not move inside the streaming window. Outside the GeForce NOW window the cursor works normally.

Details: - Only happens in Firefox - Other browsers work fine - Cursor gets stuck right after entering a game - OS: Linux (Arch)

Is there any fix for this? Maybe it's related to pointer lock or hardware acceleration settings?
