I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I updated my OS to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and now when I open Firefox (Version 104.0) my history comes up automatically as a sidebar. I don't want this to happen, how can I make it stop?

The (Download>save file as )function is completely F'ed up. Upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 today. That included an updated firefox. Now when I download and save a file as function when I enter either a letter or number to rename the file the Search window pops up with options, or no options, that are available in the directory I'm saving to. The key or mouse focus is now in the Search box and not in the renaming the file box. That means in order to rename a file you have to switch back to the 'renaming the file' box fro the 'Search' box every time you enter a letter or number. Totally F'd up.

I am experiencing problems when using Duolingo, which is highly interactive.

This same problem was highlighted in Version 95.0.2 from a Windows user. The waveforms on System Monitor/ Resources are the same.

I am using Fedora and have 16GB ram. Have just ordered another 16GB ram, but think this problem is so severe that no amount of ram will fix it.

email@yahoo will not respond properly in Firefox and works perfectly in Opera browser. Also very SLOW to load many sites. Only the last few days. Is this a hack of some sort? More than yahoo issues as well. Just sayin'

Hi there,

I've been using firefox as my main browser and I've created a account and using it all the time for syncing the settings, bookmarks, logins, extensions etc.

BUT due to some unwanted (really irritating) search suggestion were being shown to me by firefox, I had to uninstall firefox from my system.

• • Throughout the process, I'd kept syncing ON always!!

But when I installed firefox again and after loggedin, I'm syncing everything but this is restoring (syncing) very old data which doesn't have my latest bookmarks, extenstions & saved logins!!

How DO I get my all data???

URGENT PLEASE!! THANK YOU

• • Note : I'm using default "Firefox-ESR" in Kali linux 2022

Firefox 101 Xubuntu 20.04

I want to completely disable the Firefox pop-up notifications regarding updates. I have searched the web for an answer and cannot find anything workable. Can you please tell me how to accomplish this as the constant nagging is extremely annoying.

In about:config I have the following set with no success:

app.update.auto false app.update.download.promptMaxAttempts 0 app.update.elevation.promptMaxAttempts 0 app.update.enabled false app.update.interval 31536000 app.update.promptWaitTime 31536000 app.update.silent true browser.search.update false update false

When I restart my computer, I am logged out of all websites although I did not select settings such as "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed". This only happens with reboots and not on Suspend.

I saw two similar posts but the options look like they changed name since then: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1319622 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1289909

I tried to apply the solutions linked there, to no avail.

This behaviour only happens on my Garuda Linux and not on Pop-os. Thus I am not sure here is the right place to ask this question.

Another strange bug which may be related is the following: if I zoom in a page (say set it at 120 percents) then go to another tab and then come back to the page I zoomed in, the zoom is reset to 100 percents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When opening a new tab externally, e.g. via `firefox --new-tab <url>` or `xdg-open <url>`, Firefox doesn't raise its window.

If this behavior is abnormal, note that I'm using KDE on Wayland (Ubuntu 22.04) with "Focus stealing prevention" off. If it's normal behavior, is there a way to change it?

I use Firefox for many years, no problems. But recently I got fake websites with www.maccabi4u.co.il and PayPal. What is wrong? I downloaded Chrome and it does not happen.

For some time now FF will not open certain sites that it used to, these sites all open and function normally in other browsers such as Opera. The most important being my online bank! I have contacted the sites involved and they cannot understand why. I have cleared Cache, cookies etc. I'm using FF 88.0 on Ubuntu. Can you help?

PSA:

The snap version of Firefox (as implemented in Ubuntu Desktop 22.04) will not open a Zoom meeting link.

The alternatives are: - Google Chrome, etc. - Borrow a Windows machine and log into your meeting there.

What a disaster.

The setting "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is not saved. Every time I reopen Firefox the setting is unset again. Also my list of exceptions to this is not used, thus all the loging cookies that I had for the sites on the exception list are deleted and I have to re-login again.
