i can't get firefox.com/pair to show on my desktop.

I have just reinstalled MS Word on both PC & phone, (as something has gone wrong with my somewhat elderly PC). My phone (Samsung) says to connect mobile device with my Mozilla account, then I need to open Firefox on the PC, visit Firefox.com/pair, and follow the instructions to connect the mobile device.

I can't find firefox.com/pair on the PC.

For a few months, and I've seen this happen randomly over the last 5-10 years - pressing enter doesn't work, and sometimes dragging a new link into the empty tab space next to the tabs creates a new tab with the URL in the URL box, but not 'opened'

Does firefox have some issue with loading a web page?

I use ublock origin on default settings, and violent-monkey and stylish for scripting.. but would that disable searching google from a new tab?

Every time I launch a fresh copy of Firefox all my saved accounts ect are gone. Now I know they aren't gone because the profiles.json files is still there. What has happened is firefox has taken the cookies.sqlite and added .bak on the end.

I've reinstalled firefox, tripple checked my settings and clearing stored data on browser close. What am I missing to stop firefox from doing this?

Hello!

I am reaching out regarding an issue I am having lately. Recently a great number of sites has been showing me an error regarding an embedded site and blocking me completely from it's content.

I've read on many forums and searched the brower console and it seems like firefox is having an issue with X-Frame-Options being set to "sameorigin". It gives me a lot of trouble and is blocking me out of a lot of media.

I love security measures Mozilla has implemented over the years but I do not feel comfortable when software I use won't let me toggle less important safety features On/Off or at least whitelist sites I know are safe.

Speaking bluntly, it's ridiculous that I have to try 10 different websites with the content I want to watch, just to find one that has a built-in player, instead of an embedded one. It also seems to be spotty with what it blocks and what it doesn't block as some sites with an embedded player work with no issues.

I couldn't find any way to turn it off that won't possibly affect other security measures, or won't require me to go into brower console every time I want to access media.

Please instruct me how to fix this issue and consider making changes regarding it.

Thank you in advance :)

What is the latest update? I have 2 Macintosh computers with the same lateste version of Sequoia (15.2) but different versions of Firefox (135.0b7 on MacMiniM2 and 134.0.2 on MacBookAir M2). Firefox settings set to automatic update but MacMini shows "Failed to Update" in About Firefox.

I've noticed that when video media begins to play, it often suddenly slows down the entire browser's processing ability and cuts to strange visual glitches limited to just the video window, usually green and pink pixelated glitches. This doesn't happen on YouTube, nor does it happen when I use other browsers like Edge. I'm on Windows 11, using the latest Firefox version, with Strict privacy settings and a reliable and simple adblock. Had the same setup on a previous Windows 10 laptop and did not have these issues. It's getting frustrating and is impacting my experience with this browser across multiple websites. I refuse to switch back to sketchy, predatory browsers like Chrome and Edge, so I hope this can be fixed, either on my end or on Mozilla's. Thanks! (Attached a screenshot of the visual glitches.)

I’m getting “'Gah. Your tab just crashed’” basically every other website I open (including this one). I don’t notice anything in common with the websites I’m visiting and it’s happening in the troubleshooting/safe mode as well. I’m using the most recent version of Firefox and am running MacOS 12.6.

This will happen and cause the page to stall, not load, which is especially bad on a page with a download link or if it's a search engine. The highlighted part of the attached image is an example of which part of the URL flashes incredibly fast - appearing and disappearing.

I just recently had an instance of the url bar typing the same word and deleting it over and over again at the end of the address. I was watching the word "drawers" appear as if I was typing it myself, letter by letter.

Refreshing doesn't help and will refresh the previous page because the faulty link will carry over to the next page if it's on a search engine for example.

In the last couple weeks i've encountered an issue where video footage, but not the audio or the video progress itself, will freeze if I tab out of Firefox and into a game window.

Here's a video showing the issue

Like shown in the video, It only seems to affect Firefox and not other browsers, and it only happens when I switch to a game window, not other tabs. It should also be noted that although the video only shows YouTube footage, this issue affects every player I've tested it on.

I've tried this both with and without extensions enabled, as well as just about every video player related config in the about:config page, and with both hardware acceleration on and off, still with no luck resolving the problem.

If anyone has had a similar issue and managed to fix it, help doing so for myself would be much appreciated.

When I open a web page with a video in it, the video generally starts to look like the attached screenshot. It usually happens within 30 seconds, and then it will occasionally clear up for 10 seconds, but otherwise, it's just a shifting swirl of green.

Does not happen in other browsers.

I inadvertently created a duplicate Other Bookmarks folder at the level of the Bookmarks Toolbar and I'm not able to remove it. In fact, I tried deleting all of the bookmarks under this duplicate to see if that would allow me to delete it, however, that removed all of my bookmarks, including from the original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder and I had to restore them from backup.original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder

Please let me know what I can do to eliminate the duplicated folder without affecting the entries in my original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder.

Thank you,

I just updated Firefox only because I got an email saying my version would no longer be supported. EVERY TIME I update something goes wrong. This time the SEARCH field on my address bar disappeared--I can't do searches. HOW DO I FIX THIS? ALways next to the address was a place for inputting searches--WHY would you disappear this? Also WHY is the pointer so large I can't read text underneath when I roll over icons?

I'm experiencing an issue where the fonts in the Firefox application interface are broken or appear distorted. However, the fonts on websites are displayed correctly.

I have already tried resetting browser settings, reinstalling Firefox, and clearing cache, but the issue persists. It seems to be related specifically to the application’s UI fonts and not website rendering.

Steps taken so far: - Manually cleared profile and cache (in ~/Library folders) - Reinstalled latest firefox.
