Hi there!

I'm using Firefox Nightly version 88.0a1 (2021-03-19) (64-bit) at the moment. And I couldn't help but notice that the native screenshot option is absent from my adress bar menu.

It is avaiable at the customization options, but I don't know if it's possible to get it back "inside" the address bar.

Can someone help me out?

I changed the email address for my Firefox Account today, which involved entering my password. The password was not recognized, despite having been used without any problems in the past, and being stored unchanged in my password manager.

I managed to reset the password using my Recovery Key, logged in with it successfully, then tried to create a new Recovery Key to replace the now obsolete one. The process failed at the first step, however, claiming an incorrect password. I reset once more, again logged in with it successfully, and yet again I get an incorrect password error when trying to generate a new Recovery Key.

Obviously the password is working fine as I've successfully used it to log into this Support forum.

What could be the issue here?

Hello,

Just after installing debian buster in my computer, I could use firefox to download some other programs, that was a week ago. Now I can't use it. When I open the browser and type any URL it just stays loading the page, even when I type about:config I get the same behaviour. I have --reinstall the pagacke, removed profile, start firefox in safe mode, but nothing. I'll really appreciate your help.

dear people and fire fox i recently switched from crome to firefox. but now I get a black block on all the websites that I visit, which suddenly appears and later also disappears. tried everything and firefox customer service is hard to get to. so any idea is welcome.

Sometimes when I’m browsing I’ll have random black rectangles appear on my screen. Usually minimizing or pulling it to a window and then bringing it back to full screen gets them to go away, but not always. I’ve attached a few pictures, but it probably happens a few times a day at least

Bear with me there's a bit of a story.

One of the apps I most use is MightyText. It allows me to send texts from my desktop computer's web browser. When FireFox automatically updated to the newest version, something didn't work right and MightyText stopped being able to connect.

My workaround was to use System Restore to go back in time so to speak. But FireFox is pretty aggressive with their updates, and eventually that stopped being a work around.

I tried to install an older version of FireFox manually but I couldn't ever get my profile to work right.

So, I've landed somewhere where FireFox has updated to the latest version, AND MightyText works just fine.

But now the problem is I cannot use any of my add-ons. Actually, I can re-fresh FireFox, and start it without any add ons. I can add all my add ons and everything works great, but if I restart my computer, FireFox will not connect to the internet (the wheel just spins) until I refresh again and wipe out all the add-ons. After doing so, all my tabs are restored, all my saved passwords, etc--and I can add back the add-ons and they will work until FireFox Crashes or I restart the computer, but then FF won't connect to the internet and around and around we go.

What's up?

Last night Firefox insisted that it be updated and so I allowed the update on my somewhat antiquated laptop. It's the laptop that my wife uses and because she's far from tech-friendly, things need to be simple and basic. She didn't want to update it because everything was fine for the limited browsing that she uses the laptop for but for the sake of doing as we're told, we let it happen.

When the laptop restarted and we went to open Firefox, a damned User Profile Box appeared - one that's got me scratching my head and cursing. What the hell is it? Choose User Profile Then inside the box; Create Profile Rename Profile Delete Profile She doesn't have a 'profile' - what the hell is it anyway? Why should we make this change - what's it in aid of?

Whatever, we opted to click on Rename Profile and found that the existing profile was 'User', so I renamed it with her name - and then started Firefox. A blank Firefox page appeared - with no favourites; no log-ins; no records - NOTHING. Preferences? NONE. What on earth has happened? She had a selection of physiotherapy exercises in her favourites - WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY? THEY WERE VITAL FOR HER HEALTH AND NOW THEY'RE GONE. Just what the hell is going on? Why do we need to go through all this - where have all her records gone?

Ok - I searched the internet for an answer. I then found a similar case from back in 2015 - and the member (because it was on this forum) came to the conclusion that it was best to use Chrome instead - and I reckon that's what my wife will have to do. If this change can't be undone and if her saved information can't be accessed (and EASILY - not via a string of convoluted instructions that neither she nor I will understand) then you've just lost another customer. Answers please - and simple ones, not a long guide through the mess that's inside Firefox.

I downloaded a file from my scanner and when I tried to e-mail it to someone, I am told that it does not exist, even though I can open it in Adobe and pdf. How can I download to something that can be e-mailed?

I tried to buy a new version for this desktop, however it refuses to work as well, the error code says I need IE6, I have never used internet explorer, but now it says it is required. What has MS done now? I have a laptop running windows 10 as well. I installed quick books 2009 pro on the laptop and every thing works fine. So is the problem with windows 10, or Firefox? All this seemed to have taken place after a recent windows 10 update. The computer was running extremely slow. Anyone else having similar problems?

When I open Firefox on macOS, it immediately goes to the minimized mode in and I am not able to use it. I have tried to uninstall it completely and remove all related files and reinstall different versions but I still see the issue. Any thoughts?

How do I change, or is there a way to stop the browser from going back a page when i press delete too many times on a box or I haven't managed to click where I thought I had?

Firefox update (about 4 weeks ago?) resulted in losing access to various accounts eg: bank, health care provider. Forced to use Chrome (blech!) Websites now state that I'm using an "unsupported browser". Have contacted host sites and they are unresponsive and/or unable to provide solution. Can still access bank etc from Android phone but forced to use other browsers from MacBook Pro.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi there,

I refreshed Firefox because I found it was running slow, and now my saved logins and passwords are not in my settings anymore.

They are still on my phone but they won't sync now to my iMac desktop.

Is there a way to restore them or resync!

Thanks for your help.

I just got the startup screen about the 'Cinderella' button and followed the instructions. It implies I can have multiple Youtube screens open at the same time in little Windows. However I can only have 1 open at a time. When I go to a second YT video, that second video does not have a Cinderella button.

Read the posts on this issue suggest right click text area submenu language, where is this sub menu as I don't see one when right clicking anywhere. Also working very very slowly when inputing text on facebook.
