I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

When I type a letter in the URL space, there is a drop down selection of previous sites I have used. Some contain names of people I have searched and I don't want any embarrassment if said persons happen to use my PC. Is it possible to delete the list, or, perhaps better, delete the ones with names?

I'm using Windows 10 with FF x64.

Thanks.

Hey!

So since yesterday I can't use my hotmail/outlook anymore!

I can still use it on other browsers & I can just surf the web just fine. But outlook? Nope. Reading messages work, but they still appear as unread when I go back to my inbox. I can't send an email, cant save drafts or do anything.

Pretty frustrating. What can I do? I updated the browser again, rebooted pc & I also tried deleting cookies

Is it normal that we should install an extension to be able to open a specific url when opening a tab. That don't work because of x-frame options.

We already can add a custom url for new windows, so why not for tabs.

Firefox is taking weird directions.

I do not want videos to autoplay - I prefer to select which videos I play - but having set all the parameters I can see in about:config the videos still autoplay. I use W11. The settings I have are: • media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;2:Prompt;5:blockAll] • media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2 • media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false • media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true

Any assistance greatly appreciated

So ive been using firefox for a long time and never had any problems. for 2 weeks that ive had Bitdefender Total Security i've been getting the red alert for Online Threat prevention that says: firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to staging.pango-coupons.besttoolbars.net. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk.

We have a new ARM64 based Windows 11 computer (Robo & Kala) and a Brother HL-L5100DN printer. The printer manufacturer doesn't produce their own drivers for the Windows on ARM64 platform, so we installed using the default Microsoft Postscript driver (for troubleshooting we also tried PCL6, MS XPS, and OpenXPS, all yielded identical results).

When printing from either Firefox (the ARM64 specific version 123.0) or Thunderbird (Windows x64 version 115.8.0), prints (as well as the print preview) appear to show the headers and footers overlapping with the text of the page (examples below). In some cases the text may not directly OVERLAP the page, but you can still see the page spacing / margins does not seem correct.

Before I show the examples, I also want to clarify:

• To ensure that was not strictly a printer-driver issue, I tested Chrome and Edge browsers which appeared correctly.
• To ensure it was not an issue with the page-layout, you can see in additional screenshots that choosing something like Microsoft's Print to PDF or even the built-in Save as PDF, the spacing between the header and the page content appears correct.

Hopefully this is something that can be inspected and resolved swiftly, and I hope this feedback helps! Thank you!!

I am using Mozilla Firefox on MS Windows 10. I want to add an autoconfig file to lock some preferences. As per this doc firefox.cfg and autoconfig.js need to be saved in the same directory where firefox is installed. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig

I had downloaded firefox from the Microsoft store. Firefox is installed in the %programfiles%/WindowsApps folder, which is owned by 'trusted installer'. Because of this a normal user cannot write to this folder, not even with Admin access.

Is there a way to set auto config without changing folder permissions? Can I save the firefox.cfg and autoconfig.js somewhere else other than the install folder?

Mayo Clinic’s highly trained tech staff, Rochester, MN, confirmed three weeks ago that messaging in their MyChart—and to my experience, all MyChart from University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics to Wash U St. Louis —has been down for at least three weeks in the Firefox browser. The MyChart messages option works in Microsoft Edge and any other browser I have attempted to use. I have appreciated using Firefox over the years but really resent the impossibility of sending Firefox a direct request to address this. Mayo Clinic tech staff said they would immediately request Firefox to fix this but evidently that’s been ignored too. Is this farewell to Firefox ?

Hi. I am running a 3 monitor setup and I like to keep open quite a few tabs. And two windows of Firefox. So two Firefox instances with several tabs on each. But because it eats a lot of memory, I have to close and reopen Firefox from time to time. And to my annoyance, sometimes it "forgets" about one of the windows. So opens only one instead of both. Therefore I loose some quite important tabs. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you.

I use Firefox to watch movies on YouTube, Netflix, and many other sites.

I always make these movies full screen. Usually, that means that my computer will stay awake while the movie plays. But after 4 years of this working without issue, I started having problems last November.

Since then, whenever I make videos fullscreen, they'll display as normal, but after a few minutes, my computer's screensaver will come on. It's like my computer can't recognize that the videos are fullscreen. It treats them as regular videos and kicks into whatever power management settings I've set up

I've tried disabling all my add-ons. I've tried changing all my power settings. (Whatever power setting I choose, that's what ends up happening: screensaver at 10 min, 15 min, etc.) But nothing I do can get my computer to recognize fullscreen videos from Firefox .

This only happens with Firefox. When I play full screen videos in VLC, my computer does not go into screensaver/sleep/etc.

I'm running Firefox 123.0 on Linux Lite (Ubuntu).

The only way I get this to work-- and it doesn't always work-- is if I restart my computer, Firefox will sometimes behave as expected. But if I finish a movie and let my computer go to sleep, then the next time it wakes, I'll have the same problem again.

All help appreciated. Thank you!

Hello All, Hulu tells me I must pause my Ad Blocker to watch a show. I click Turn off add blocker, but it just keeps re-directing me to out-of-date, unrelated community discussions. Can anyone help me? Thanks to All.

Hi I recently was hacked unfortunately due to a stupid screw up involving a person who had hacked a friend's account and had me download some malware disguised as a "game he worked on" and managed to get all my passwords stored in Firefox (spent 9 hours straight changing all 200 of them and wiping the laptop). I believe I am misinterpreting some things on how secure the storage of passwords are for Firefox as I thought using the "Primary Password" function would encrypt everything properly. The hacker proved he had them unencrypted sending some examples to me to flaunt.

Was he able to attain access to the passwords due to me already having firefox open when I was compromised (even if the primary password is asked before entering each password?) Or is there some issue with firefox not storing them properly? Or is there some other less know issue with windows or edge or something "stealing" the passwords and storing them in an unencrypted file without me knowing?

This whole thing makes me feel less trustful of firefox to say the least and while the hack itself was my fault I just want to know if there was something else I could have done other than using keepass or some other password manager to exclusively store passwords (which is what I am going to do now and probably should have been doing)

TLDR - Primary password did not stop hacker from seeing passwords - Any clarification on whether this was my fault in trusting it for such things or if there is an actual issue with firefox's approach

Thanks for any help or clarification.
