I need to sign in so that I can sync my profile but am getting this error message when trying to reset the password "Primary account email required for reset". I'm not sure what this means.

Google Services are having blackout issues when being opened in Firefox. The ones I have tried and having issues are Google Maps and Google Sheet. Things I have done so far

Change DNS Added google.com and other google services in the exceptions

Logs out of email (gmail) after restarting the browser. I reinstalled windows and downloaded a browser, connected my account, and now when I go to gmail.com and register my mail, everything is fine, it works, but when I exit the browser and go back to gmail.com, there is nothing.

Hi. There is a new feature of Firefox that bothers me. It is when I drag tabs around the top, they try to group when I don't want them to. So I go to about:config and find the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" key and set it to false. But when I restart Firefox, the change reverts. How do I fix this so the change stays?

I've already tried going to Menu->Help->More troubleshooting information->Profile Folder->Open folder, but there is no "user.js" file there. Do I have to do a Firefox reset to fix this? I hope not...

Note that I'm pretty sure that other settings that I change do not revert when I restart Firefox. Right now, it seems to be just this one about:config setting, unless the new version of Firefox reverts all manually changed about:config settings upon restart.

Thanx in advance for any help.

hello,

Since the last update was downloaded, I can no longer view content created using Genialy.

We are a training organization with an e-learning platform and today our content created under Genialy is no longer accessible if you use your browser.

With other browsers like Edge or Chrome the content is easy to read.

Thank you for fixing this bug.

Sincerely,

I have tried everything. I've gone into the permissions, I have it set that everything is allowed. I reset and forgot the sites multiple times, zoom and Google Meets, and when I reload still the same issue. It says I do not have a camera. The camera works for both Edge and the camera app on my laptop. I even checked my settings on my laptop, and Firefox has permission to access my camera. However, in the camera request history, it does not show that Firefox asked for access to my camera. It also says the last time it accessed my camera was last year, but I have been trying to get it to work this entire time. I am updated with Windows 11 and the latest update of Firefox. How do I fix this? Is it an issue with Firefox or Windows?

Since update to Firefox version 138.0.1, my last viewed side bar is never automatically displayed upon REOPENING Firefox. I must always > View > Re-select the desired sidebar choice >

How can I get this side bar to re-display automatically upon opening Firefox as it used to in previous versions?

How should I fix the frozen browser. Firefox updated ok from another user account on this computer, though Firefox has always updated for all accounts on the computer when updated from any of the accounts. The installer tool got caught in a loop to install until it froze the browser on the third retry. What should I do?

This question is about a specific Firefox add on. I have not used extensions or add ons previously and am concerned about the safety of the one I want to upload: Claude Conversation Capture.

The page says it will require permission to Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history (which is fine) and Access your data for all websites (which scares the heck out of me.)

How can I safeguard my privacy and data to prevent a breach and maintain proper security if I download this add on?

Can anyone help with this please? The add on would be extremely useful but not at the expense of my security and privacy.

FWIW I am #notageek and very tech challenged, so please explain anything I need to know in ordinary language I can understand (will be greatly appreciated.)

Thank you!

Hi there,

I have to save a lot of PDF documentation in Firefox browser. When I use a software and I click a button the print preview window appears, after that I save the documentation in pdf. Is there any way to automated it?

I use these configs (about:config and about:preferences):

browser.download.folderList "2" browser.download.dir "/path/to/download/directory" browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk "*" print_printer "Mozilla Save to PDF" print.always_print_silent "true"

Always ask you where to save files -> not checked Content-type PDF -> Save file in the Applications section At now this config is does not work. I want to click the button, and it will download into the correct folder.

As an educator helping students learn Quran online, we use websites like https://www.holyquranclasses.com https://www.holyquranclasses.com that autoplay short audio recitations to aid pronunciation. Recently, Firefox seems to block these autoplay audios unless users interact manually. Is there a way to whitelist such sites or change settings so students don’t have to click each time? It’s affecting user experience during lessons.

Are there recommended settings or permissions we can configure for this?

I just wanted to both report the issues and double check with anyone else potentially experiencing the issue.

Problem: On high refresh rate monitors (mine is 240hz) I begin to see issues when scrolling and viewing videos. It's not necessarily screen tearing (I think) but it's especially prominent on YouTube where elements of the video appear across the whole screen in flashes as the video is playing. I've moved the browser to other monitors that are 60hz and the flashing disappeared. I even tried on incognito mode and it still appears. I've restarted the browser and even my computer but the issue persist. I've even tried other browsers but the issues is only on Firefox.

And once again Mozilla managed to break with Firefox CSS scripts! (V131.x) The one thing that guaranteed always works with every update is that something doesn't work! The constant updates and the resulting "verschlimmbessern" until nothing works in a more. With every update there is another plug-in that doesn't work or has not been updated anymore as well.

V 130.x Outkick.com page does not load only a little bit of unformatted text. Foxweather.com images are huge page doesn't load completely. PG&E.com does not load billing information, blank page. Just to mention a few...

I have stopped recommending my clients Firefox I will no longer install it.

I wonder why Firefox still doesn't have a session manager, it's beyond my comprehension. I've lost all my tabs and no way to recover them, even with all the hacks I could find on forums online. And why should I spend time searching for solutions anyway?! Firefox should save all open tabs at least once a day, am I asking too much? I used to have an extension active that did regular backups automatically, but it stopped working due to changes that were made in one of the most recent Firefox releases. Why we still don't have a decent session manager?!

Whenever I get on YouTube the website will not completely load, If I restart Firefox and access the website it then loads completely. However when I click on any video it does the same thing as the included picture, however I can play the video, but I cannot click on anything. This only happens on Firefox, any other browser and I have no issue. I have also disabled my plugins and it does the same thing. I have tried multiple different suggestions from your help page and other solutions on the internet. If I could have some insight would be extremely welcomed, thank you and have a wonderful week.
