I-Firefox Community Forum

Hey all,

I have a very weird problem after yesterday.

So I was on Youtube and I pressed the search button and a pop-up came from Firefox. I don't know anymore what it was and I just clicked on something. After that my Youtube search button is't working anymore when I click it with my mouse. When I enter a text and press my enter button it still works.

When I go to another browser or use Firefox Incognito mode it also works. When I log out of my account, it works. When I use a new profile it works.

So I installed Firefox and reinstalled it again. Installed my add-ons again and tested it again. And it worked again. But from the moment when I logon on Youtube website with Firefox it DOESN'T work anymore.

This simply drives me crazy lol. So it works on 99% of the time only when I use Firefox on my account even with a new profile my search button doesn't work again.

Could this be a Firefox setting within the Youtube website or a Firefox permission thing which isn't carried over from a new profile?

I don't know how on earth I could fix this issue and I'm hoping someone here could help me with the setting inside Firefox that could make my Youtube search button work again on my left mouse click.

Thanks in advance.

In Firefox my google map location shows that I live in Maryland when I live in San Francisco.When I use Chrome this doesn't happen. I have spent the last two day trying all the solution Ive found online. Windows has my location correctly. Ive tried other map programs and they seem to have the correct location. Ive done everything suggested by google to fix my location but it still is incorrect. What am I missing Thanks Mark

I have a Brother MFC-J53330DW printer, and cannot get the duplex printing feature to work on my computer since installing and selecting Firefox to be my default browser. It is a similar problem others have had in the past, and no solutions have come up that worked. I can print double-side/duplex in other browsers, and this feature used to work with firefox in the past. I updated the Brother drivers. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this issue? It seems like others have commented on it happening with other Brother printers with Firefox.

If you reference this question (Duplex printing not available on default Firefox profile) and others on the support site, the option does not show up in the print menu, or if using the system dialogue. Please help!

Hello, don't worry, I have a series of searches in my firefox account, and now I don't have access to my computer. I wanted to ask you to delete my history completely.

Hi, I am running Jupyterlab (a python web-based application on localhost), and within it, I launched my local shell (windows Powershell core v7). However, there seems to be an issue rendering the characters of this terminal (see attached image). However, this issue does not occur it Edge browser (see image). Any advise on this? Thanks! I have also checked that this issue still persist in private tab (where extensions are deactivated).

In the past when I saw an article that I wanted to email to myself, I would click on the envelop icon and it would go to “choose and application to open the mail to link” I would choose if I remember correctly Yahoo and it would open up.

Now the only choice I have if Firefox, and when I click on it nothing happens. What is the problem?

Under”Choose other Applications”, there is nothing to forward that article to me.

In FF 102 how can I confirm that the video AUTOPLAY is DISABLED when I visit Webpages? If I still get videos starting when visiting webpages and the AUTO{LAY is disabled. what else can be done to prevent them to start. I run Windows 10 Home Thank You

Hello, in the past, firefox never asked for permission when it updated itself, but yesterday it asked for permission (do you want to allow this app to make changes on your device) when I started it. Is that something to be concerned about (e.g. Virus etc.) I haven't changed any firefox/windows settings, am using windows 10, firefox version 112.0.1. I have admin privileges. Thank you.

My laptop was stolen. In my new laptop I try to open all my sync tabs at once, but I can't. I signed in, I see all the sync tabs under the "sign out", but how can I open them all at once? I read that I should right click the devise name to do that, but I can't right click it.

I am no longer able to paste into a new email in Office 365 OWA? I only see the emoji symbols when trying to do so. Something has broken in the latest update of Firefox. I am able to paste into a new email in Chrome. Also, I no longer see the Clipboard in Firefox. What has happened to cause these problems? Can you please help out since this is affecting multiple users. Thank you.

I'm enrolled in multiple classes at teachable.com and they both use my email, however, the classes are VERY different and I need two separate passwords. Firefox said NO. Is there a way to have two passwords using the same email address? I did try to log in when I signed up for the second course and it did not recognize my email address. The sign in process for the first site is slightly different and goes through the instructor's site, and then through teachable.com. My password for the first class is stored on Firefox under teachable...and I've emailed myself the password to the second class until I can resolve this. I thought there would be a comment field or something to differentiate the two courses. Please help. Many thanks!

I recently needed ti reload a Windows 7 backup and then re-upgrade to Windows 10. Now, whenever I open a new FireFox window I get a banner warning from K9 that says "You must log in to this network before you can access the internet." It shows a button "Open network login page." which attempts to go to the K9 page which is long since out of business. I uninstalled the software and re-booted, but still the message appears every time a new FireFox window opens. Before I go the dangerous "regedit" route, is there any way to easily remove this annoying thing?

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am contacting you because I have a problem with lost passwords in my Firefox browser after updating Firefox. I have already tried various methods to recover my passwords, but so far without success.

I have some corrupt logins.json files in my profile folder. So first the newly created one (where no passwords are included with 1kb) logins.json and then logins.json.corrupt, logins.json-1.corrupt and 7 more corrupt files up to number 8 all with 44kb. For handlers.json a total of 13 .corrupt files were created. Tried of course to rename the logins.json.corrupt file to logins.json and restart Firefox. However, after each restart a new empty logins.json file was created with a size of 1 KB and my 44kb file is renamed to corrupt again.

Also copied the key4.db and the corrupt logins.json.corrupt (of course renamed and the corrupt removed) to a new profile but there it becomes the corrupt file again.

Unfortunately there are also no previous versions of the file under properties->previous versions.

I also tried running the script "firefox_decrypt.py" from a GitHub repository to recover my passwords. This also did not produce the desired result. Using Notepad++, the corrupt file unfortunately has only "NULL" values. Is there any other way to get the lost passwords back?

Sincerely, Justus

Ever since the last two updates to Firefox, I can't use the browser without a lot of trouble. It won't launch for 15 minutes; links take several minutes to load; it's just not reliable anymore. The Firefox on my laptop works just fine since I refused to update it. I've tried starting in safe mode; disabling all add-ons; clearing the cache and history; uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works. I'm using Firefox 112.0.1 64 bit. Windows 10. How can I get Firefox to work again on my desktop?

I've had this problem for a couple of years already. Not with other browsers and, with the Internet Download Manager extension, I'm usually able to download multimedia content in FF. (That's been my workaround.)

For example, when loading this humble URL ... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/d/d8/Plattenknistern_record.ogg/Plattenknistern_record.ogg.mp3 ... if I have autoplay enabled, it'll crash right away ("Your tab just crashed"), without autoplay, it'll crash as soon as I hit play. Until a few days ago, no crash report was created under about:crashes, but, after upgrading to 112.0.1, I've finally been able to submit a crash report: bp-203a462b-e949-47b0-90f3-a99760230422

No difference if I create a new user profile and disable add-ons. Disabling hardware acceleration doesn't help either. I can't do without most of my settings and add-ons, so refreshing FF is not an option. I'd sooner try a new install (and then import my profile and reinstall add-ons), but that's laborious and not guaranteed to solve the problem.

(I've submitted this question before, about half a year ago - now archived -, but that didn't go anywhere for lack of crash diagnostics.)
