I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I use a mac mini with firefox

The menu bar on the right hand corner and Add Ons Close immediately when trying to open when the window is minimized. From research I thought it might be extensions. I checked and everything is fine. I also tried to refresh Firefox and that did not work. I did notice when I put the window to full view everything works fine. I am wondering why it does not work properly when the window is minimized to a smaller view. Your help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

I am using gmail as my default email client, so that when I click on a mailto link from anywhere, the system (macos Monterey 12.5.1) passes the link to my default browser (Firefox 108.0.1). This used to work just fine until today: now the tab opens as usual, load gmail, I can glimpse at an email with the correct recipient but the tab closes straight away, without giving me any opportunity to interact. I found a very similar post from half a year ago: Clicking on a "mailto" link opens a new tab then automatically closes immediately, but as far as I understand the solution was to restart the computer (which I tried...). I could not find any other lead... Any idea?

With thanks and best regards

When I try to play Netflix from my Macbook and onto to my smart TV via my Apple TV device, I find that I can hear the sound but cannot see any picture. The set-up used to work fine until I up-dated to the latest version of the Firefox browser and then the picture disappeared. I have a second Macbook on which I'm running an older version of Firefox (from April'22) and this is still working fine with Netflix/Apple TV connection etc., i.e. picture and sound working well. Has anyone else had this issue.

Btw, I can have both picture and sound on my Macbook screen if I don't connect to Apple TV even when using the latest Firefox version!

Every time I use the developer tools, as soon as a suggestion is shown, it blocks the complete UI and I cannot do anything anymore. Only closing Firefox and restarting makes it go away.

See also the image for an example, in that case I inspect an HTML element, try to add a CSS property, but once I type something, Firefox shows the suggested properties and from that moment on the UI is blocked. The suggestions don't go away anymore, I cannot click on any buttons, I cannot change tabs, nothing. The mouse over works, because I see tabs highlighting when I move the mouse, but nothing happens on a click.

This also happens in the other tabs of the tools. For example in the network tab, when I hover over a picture and it shows a thumbnail, it also freezes the UI.

This is on MacOS 12.5.1, FF 108.0.1 and with all extensions and plug ins disabled.

I use Tab Session Manager to save sessions, but when I restore them, they get recorded in browsing history which is annoying. I have the Use the "discarded" property for lazy loading option disabled because I want to see favicons, they help me keep track of what and where my tabs are.

Very Frustrated that I downloaded this new version... All of my setting that I've meticulously set up/changed are back to the default settings. All my extension, especially my lastpass are gone. My toolbar has no icons that I previously had set up... WTF

Добрый день , меня зовут Даниил. уважаемая поддержка . Я пользуюсь браузером уже несколько лет . Mozila firefox on Mac. И мне он очень нравится . Сейчас я использую Macbook Air M1 / 8gb / SSD . 2020.

Good afternoon, my name is Daniel. respected support. I've been using the browser for several years now. Mozila firefox on Mac. And I really like him. Right now I am using Macbook Air M1 / ​​8gb / SSD . 2020. Everything has always worked quickly. Pages loaded quickly even with plugins enabled. But about a week ago I noticed that it took a very long time to load the YouTube page. For a very long time, I opened this page in Safari - it opened instantly. I decided to clear the cache and cookies. It did not help . I disabled all plugins. that didn't help either. I have cleared the browser via settings. It didn't help either. I deleted and redownloaded the browser. and it still takes a long time to open the youtube page. Please help me, what can I do? So that I can continue to use my favorite browser with pleasure.

Hi,

I use text expander and google forms as a large part of my workflow, and whenever I need to write anything additional in the text that has been imported from text expander, the browser shifts the text entry screen to the top. I then cannot see anything above where I am typing.

I have added a Loom video below so you can better understand what I'm talking about. https://www.loom.com/share/2a95d5af9adb43709885cc12e4cd8185 Loom Video

Thanks,

How do I stop the "snap to grid" function when dragging pictures from the window to the desktop on Mac? whenever I drag a Picture to the desktop, it's like the "snap to grid" option on the computer is on. The pictures won't stack if i drag them to the exact same place. Ive checked every preference option on both the Mac computer and the Firefox settings but there is nothing about disabling it. The "snap to grid" function is disabled on the computer itself and images will stack if dragged from another browser like Chrome. It only does it with Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

So when I have a new tab open, type something in the omnibox, and then switch a tab and go back to that previous new tab page, it selects everything that's in the omnibox. See attached gif.

I'd rather have it just stay at the rightmost position instead of selecting everything so that I can keep typing instead of having to press the right arrow key again. Is there a setting to change this functionality?

The bookmarks menu sidebar disappears shortly after opening Firefox on its own after update to 108.0.1 and needs to be re-opened manually, why is this and is there a solution? This never happened before, and if I leave Firefox open and return to it after a few hours the same thing happens.

So the problem is that the address bar auto completion suggests a shortened version of the URL that is actually in my history.

Example: I type in "mail" into the address bar and it it wants to auto complete to: mail.proton.me/ "mail.proton.me/" is not in my search history, but "https://mail.proton.me/u/0/inbox" IS in my search history.

This is not the only site firefox does this with. It seems like firefox automatically removes the path from the URL which is quite annoying. I want it to suggest what is ACTUALLY in my search history, not some shortened version of it. Is there any way to stop firefox from doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Below is a picture of what is suggests when I type "mail" in the address bar. Also below is a picture of my history showing that the url it suggests is not even in my history.

Tell me how to uncheck "Access Denied" under the toolbar section of Windows. I am unable to access XFinity and they can't help me. This is your problem and I really need your help in fixing this ASAP

I am a longtime user of Firefox. Firefox is my default browser...however all saved URL's are being opened by Safari. Safari also agrees that Firefox is my default browser. This started happening a few days ago. It does not seem to matter what browser I generate the URL address. All open in Safari. I have noticed that Safari is running very slowly, almost crawling along. Safari runs very, very slow even when Firefox is closed. Firefox is operating at all times as it did before this happening...fast. I know one is acting on the other somehow. All of this occured at the same time

So yesterday I installed the latest Firefox update (version 109.0), made sure I had a good internet connection and didn't have multiple profiles open (only my default one) when I did. I checked today and it says my Firefox is up to date but that the update install is still pending. I checked online to see if anyone else had this problem and I saw someone say to try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox so I did that and got the newest version, put back all my data. I check and it says I'm up to date but the update install is still pending. When I open another profile after reinstalling it says that "Firefox is being updated by another instance" which is most likely my default profile, but the thing is I installed the new version 109 from the website itself?

Is it supposed to take super long or something? This never happened before. I'm using a Macbook Air 64-bit by the way.

So I don't know what to do or if there is anything to do. I just want to know and be sure. Is this okay? Is it not a big deal, just some error or bug that will be fixed in time? Will it be fixed over time or when I get a new update after on top of that? Or should I do something? Please help me.

Thanks

I'm using MacOS Ventura 13.1; Firefox 199.0 on a 2018 MacBook Pro Note: Doxy advises Mac users not to use Safari; but to use Firefox or Chrome instead.

I tried logging into a regularly scheduled meeting today and in the waiting room, Doxy told me (via a dinosaur) that it had no access to my webcam. In the past, I have not had this situation. I did a number of things on my Mac (restarting the app, restarting the machine, resetting my SMC at restart) and none of them seemed to work. I had already checked that my OS gave Firefox access to the camera and mic, and Firefox's settings gave access to doxy.me. After a number of tries, I was finally able to get into the meeting albeit 35 minutes late.

As soon as it ended I retried getting in and found that access to the camera and mic were again disabled. In the Permissions Tab in Page Info, the camera and mic were set to "Use Default", which I assumed was to allow access. I checked the "Allow" button for both, reloaded the page and the camera light came on. I changed the permissions back to "Use default"; quit and started up again. I got the no access message. I reloaded the page and part, but not all, of the video feed appeared. I checked the Permissions and they were set as I had left them. Clicking "Allow" and reloading the page got the video back. However, this problem recurs if I quit and restart Firefox.

While I was trying to get into my meeting, I tried Chrome and got the camera with a line through it. So, I thought that it might be a MacOS problem. However, after getting into the meeting on Firefox, I went back and found a similar control in Chrome that toggles camera and mic in the active window. I reset those, and have not had the access problem since.

P.S. I notice that Settings has only "Allow" and "Block" as permission options for the camera and mic, but the permissions tab in Page Info has "Always Ask" in addition to "Allow" and "Block". In this instance, I was never asked when I chose "Always Ask", and the camera did not go on.

I am also going to post this in the Apple Support Community and with Doxy, as I am not convinced that there is not some OS/application or Doxy communication problem given I had similar situations with Chrome and Firefox. I DO NOT want to use Chrome (or any other Google product, for that matter), and I have a workaround, but it used to work without the workaround.

Hello, Ever since I upgraded my Mac to OS Ventura (version 13.1), some of the websites I visit display type in "gibberish" (see attached screenshot). I followed some online help suggestions such as changing the default font, but so far there is very little success. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you for your time, Dave

I am using Firefox on an MacBook Air (Mid 2013). Although I have disabled hardware acceleration on both Firefox and Zoom, I keeps seeing a black screen while sharing my Netflix screen. By the way, doing this trick works for Chrome but I don't want to move away from Firefox :(
