I-Firefox Community Forum

Would appreciate your help in advising how I can re-instate my Protonmail login as it just doesn't seem to want to let me access the site at all - it just tries to access and then keeps coming up with 'oops something went wrong'. It's like there is a block on letting me access? This has only just happened since doing firefox updates.

Cheers

Just recently when logged onto Hotcopper.com.au have been getting a message that reads "This page is slowing Firefox down. To speed up this browser, stop this page." There is a STOP button, that helps for a moment or two only. When I open the program with MS Edge, the problem does nor occur. I was going to remove the Firefox App but saw the repair option. Repairing did not stop the problem. Any suggestions? John I have a near new Acer laptop running Win 11.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to put someone who is pro-AI in charge of the anti-AI browser. I'm on Firefox because it doesn't use AI. You want to add in the most foolish, expensive, environmentally destructive, money sink that none of the userbase wants? Fine. I don't have brand loyalty. You choose personal wealth over the health of our environment and community by shoveling AI stupidity at us, I will drop this browser like a lead weight and switch to the lesser known browsers. I hear Waterfox hasn't bought into the slop yet. Might be time to change over to a more mindful system.

I need to update my email to my new account. I list it as my secondary and need to make it my primary email. When asking this question I got a response that there was a "make primary" button next to the secondary email that you could use to perform this task. My account does not have that option. I changed my email last year and need to correct it for my Firefox account. Please help.

I keep getting emails warning me that my Mozilla account and data will be permanently deleted on Monday, Nov 24, 2025 unless I sign in to my account. I have responded to these warnings by signing into my account numerous times. I'm logged into my account now, as a write this on the morning of Sunday, October 23. The log of my recent Mozilla account activity confirms that I logged into my account on July 5, October 2, November 20, and November 21 of this year (2025). Besides logging into my account, I recently added information to my profile, including a secondary email, a picture, and a display name. Yet I still received a "last chance" email from Mozilla on Saturday, Nov 22, 2025, at 10:45 PM warning me that my account and data will be permanently deleted on Monday, November 24 (please see attached image). I'm concerned that my recent Mozilla account logins are not being registered, and that consequently my account and data will be permanently deleted tomorrow despite my efforts to prevent this by logging in several times and even adding information to my profile. Please stop this from happening or instruct me on how I can stop this from happening.

Thank you, from Kirk Brown.

Doing a "find" ends up showing a greenish (so I'm told) background with white text. Want to guess which "find" in the attached image is difficult for me to find?

What I would like: Find (focus): yellow text on black background Find All: white text on black background

Yes, of course it would be nice if that would auto switch to black on yellow if the website default is black background.

I can hack userContent.css and get the selection function to work:

/* General highlight (for text selection, etc.) */

selection {

   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I can hack userContent.css and get the Find All (sans the focus) to work.

But firefox always provides the focus with white on green. Even if I do something like this:

/* Customize the color of highlighted search text */ input[type="search"]:focus::selection {

   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I tried several themes. No change. I tried changing Windows Preferences. No change.

There must be a way to make this "find" feature useful for me.

I use Firefox for work. Recently, I refreshed my desktop and now my favorites do not sync with the fresh Firefox installation. I've logged out, uninstalled/reinstalled, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

To allay concerns about a Microsoft warning about a Firefox installation, why when following Mozilla advice isn't the result persistent? By this is meant that Bing is used instead of Firefox (Google) in the search, Is this how China steals so much intellectual property?
