I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi, To start exporting Firefox Password Data to a file, the "Login data of the Windows User Account" has to be entered (pls. refer to attachment). What is meant by "Windows User Account"? Thanks so much for your help. Hans - presently in Munich, Bavaria, Germany

PS: I'm using the German Version of Firefox - so I translated back to English.

Doesn't happen in Chrome, but using Firefox (started recently) when visiting articles on most websites the comments section does not appear. Copy URL and transfer to Chrome or Edge they do appear. Why? What did you change?

There were changes made to how a search is performed. When searching the cursor moves into the address bar versus the center of the page where initiated. The below suggestion was made to resolve which works in regular view, however, it does not stick in a private window. Is there a solution for private view please?

Suggested solution in normal view does not work in private window

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false

I don't know how to identify this problem. WHAT IT IS: for about 6 days now I have been getting a message from my PNCBank saying unable to connect, try another browser. Previously it has worked just fine. I have not changed any information and the same crredentials work flawlessly with Chrome.

I have recently updated Firefox and now I see red dots around links across the internet. These are not links i have visited.

My research says they are to do with accessibility. I have found a function to set the to 0 or 1 but that has not removed them.

What can I do?

Like many others, I have used Firefox for a long, long time. Today (2/14/2023) is the last straw. I installed the latest upgrade and now my Bookmarks are all gone. When I say all gone, I mean "all gone." There is no backup, no previous dates, no nothing. I tried all the suggested by Firefox in the pages of the website. No help. And this is not an isolated instance. For the past several upgrades, many such issues have occurred with great frequency.

This time, my layouts were gone, my toolbar icons were gone - not even in the "Customize" option. This is ridiculous and it is getting quite tiring. I'm not sure what the criteria is for developers, but it seems like some of the open source resources could be saboteurs even though that sounds far-fetched.

For Mozilla, it boils down to this: either stop this problem so that it doesn't repeat or I (no doubt along with many others) will find it simple enough to relocate to another browser; maybe with fewer features but absolutely with fewer frustrations and difficulties.

I would prefer that Mozilla fix the situation permanently, but I am not averse to seeking simplicity and performance.

At one time there was a userchrome patch which could be applied to obtain legacy-style square corners on the URL bar and the search bar. I can not get this to work despite trying several different suggestions and I suspect it may be related the the Proton redesign.

Can anyone suggest a userchrome mod to obtain the desired square corners?

Hi everyone,

since a recent Firefox update I no longer see my extensions / add-ons lined up next to the url bar but instead grouped together under a puzzle symbol. I would like to have them lined up one by one next to the url bar as it was but I cannot find any option to change this. Could anyone help me please?

Many thanks

I use firefox as my browser and to operate my 3d printers web interface, on my local network

with firefox the data that the printers display is very slow to update, for example if i input a movement command of say 10mm firefox takes at least a few second to display the number that corresponds to the movement change, its definitely firefox as opening the very same machine and sending machine commands in any other browser does not result in a data lag.

Hi!

I suddenly started to get the whole posts in a pop-up/new overlying window on Facebook, if I click to read links to comment-section. First I thought FB had changed, but a Friend using anothr browser dont get that. Its very annoying. Someone who can help to remove the pop-ups? Thanks in advance!

I can't get a email with the code for this new 11 windows pc. Driving me nuts. I was trying to see and look to see if they block some companies to send a email. Not sure y u need the code anyways. We all know windows lies and hates any company like this one. They give enough warnings to the b s. Please try a email me with a code to get around this trash from windows. I can't figure this out. Making me mad. I only use this browser for tons of years. This code thing was a bad idea.

I've been through the about:config settings for browser.sessionstore and as far as I can tell there's no reason for this behavior. Basically, I can restore closed tabs by right-clicking the top bar and selecting the option, but the ctrl + shift + t shortcut is incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes it works as intended and sometimes the only way to reopen those tabs is the right-click menu. Does anyone else have this issue? I've not seen any posts about it.

Somehow my Firefox automatically changes to Hungarian so I can't understand what the screen choice are. I found a languange selection on firefox.com at the lowr right hand of tthe screen but it doesn't change permanenetly and every screen prompts in hungarian.
