I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

This is a somewhat recent phenomenon, but I'm not sure when it started exactly. But when I wake my Mac from sleep, all the tabs and windows just spin... won't load, or maybe load VERY VERY slowly (it seems like maybe a tab will make a little progress after a long wait, but never fully loads). I can fix it by quitting FF and restarting it - then all tabs load as normal.

There are several odd things that could be issues here, but I would think they'd be the same for both the laptop and desktop. I have a Mac mini M1 and a MacBook Air M1. I have no problems on the laptop, only the desktop. Both Macs are on the latest FF (86.0.1) and latest MacOS (11.2.3). Safari works fine... though I suppose I have to launch Safari to test that (I don't leave Safari running because I don't use Safari much). I have a Pi-Hole and I use several privacy plugins. I have DoH turned off on FF because I have it enabled on the Pi-Hole. But again... I don't get why the laptop works on wake but the desktop doesn't. They should be configured the same way.

How can I debug this? If I open the web console, would that tell me anything? Seems like it would just show that the network requests have no responses. From what I can tell by searching the web, there are no Firefox logs I can examine. So how can I debug this?

Hey, I made Firefox browser my main browser on my new MacBook Pro. Now I have a Problem with the Colors on my BenQ SW2700. The colors are not the same in the browser as in my finder. or any other software to show my pics. Can you help me?

Hello, Is there a way to use a different theme on one machine (light) and use the dark theme on a different computer but still be able to sync the data?

I have tried this from a previous question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1242818

Set services.sync.prefs.sync.lightweightThemes to False, but this does not work.

Did it on both macOS machines, closed and restarted the browser, and changing the theme on one browser ends up changing the theme on the other machine.

Is there any way to have to separate themes on two different machines?

Thank you!

I have a long-standing Firefox account under a primary email ("email1") with a secondary email (email2). I've gotten locked out. Firefox won't let me sign in under email2; it requires email1 for sign in.

For email1, I know the password but have set up two-factor authentication. I have my authentication device and authenticator app. But, perversely, there is no app entry for Firefox. I have Microsoft's app but I have used it only for Microsoft-related sites.

How the Devil I could have enabled 2-factor authentication but lost the Firefox entry for it in the app, I neither know nor understand.

I have access to both email1 and email2. I know all the answers to every secret question I've ever answered. I know everything about me there is to know. I am me after al.

Is there any information, any combination of facts, that might satisfy Firefox that I own my account and let me turnoff 2-factor authentication?

For example, I have both Chrome and Safari accounts set up with the same username and emails, and have access to them. My user name is absolutely unique across the internet. I guarantee that no one other than me has ever used it or could ever duplicate the scheme I used to create it. I have so many accounts set up under that username that it must be patently apparent that the one at Firefox in that username is mine. Perhaps that would satisfy Firefox that I own the same-configured account at Firefox.

Can I get the attention of a live person at Firefox, one that can reason independently, one that can recognize the obvious and certain fact that the account belongs to me?

What can i do? Please don't tell me nothing. I don't care about losing the data. I just want my email addresses freed up so I can open another account.

Hi! I have 2 apple computers running high sierra with updated versions of Firefox. The "laptop" has all my current work on it in Firefox using 7 browser windows with 60 tabs open. How do I get all that to open on the other computer "desktop?" On the desktop, the Firefox "synced tabs" sidebar is open and showing all the laptop open tabs...

I am logged into the same Firefox account on both computers which have different names in my Firefox account.

THAAANKS!!!

Over time Firefox gets worse and worse with various websites. I reset it and it's fine for a while, but then it gets worse again. Links won't work, things don't open, etc. when they will with Safari. I don't like Safari and I'd rather keep using Firefox, but not if it's going to do this. Any thoughts?

I did not know until now that the Firefox Notes service was being discontinued. Now, the app disappeared from my phone and there is no option to get the synced notes as the Firefox Notes status article mentions. I have some important information on there. Is there a way to recover it?

Chrome has this option of scrolling just a little when you press alt+up/down arrow, on Firefox at least on MacBook I have to press fn key, very inconvenient, how to change it to alt?

Bonjour, Je me permet de vous contacter car Firefox réinitialise toutes mes préférences (les moteurs de recherche (par défaut et installés) et la page d’accueil) à chaque mise à jour, parfois plusieurs fois par semaine. À cause de ce bug, j'ai désactivé la mise à jour automatique, mais Firefox en fait tout de même au moins une par semaine ! Si cela continue, je vais repasser sur Safari et vous pourrez compter sur un utilisateur (très fidèle, avant toutes ces mises à jours) de moins. Je suis sous MacOS X 10.13.6 High Sierra. Veillez régler ce problème au plus vite vite, Cordialement, Samuel

P.S. : Mon compte est samuelberzknibbe@gmail.com mais j'ai un problème d'e-mail donc veuillez mon contacter au courriel suivant : sberzknibbe@gmail.com .

My email address has been temporary unavailable to receive the security code. Its now available but locked for security.

what should i do?

I am trying to get Netflix to play on my new Macbook Air (M1). Not working. A little sleuthing led me to check about:addons, where I see this message "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. will be installed shortly." However, the installation is not happening. Help!

how do i delete a suggested email from autofill - fills in log-in form for amazon, etc that I *don't* have saved under 'logins and password's - I cleared my browser history already

Hi:

I bought a new MBA and selected Firefox as my browser. I was able to migrate my data BUT Firefox no longer remembers ANY history - even though I've check a number of times about keeping the history (which it did in my previous O.S.).

Makes me wonder if my version of Firefox - 86.0 - is hacked? Is this possible?

Really weird that the browser doesn't seem to remember anything (unless there's a preference somewhere I've missed...!)

I have a streaming video which does not provide the option to place the video in picture in picture. Is there a type of video that plays in FF but that doesn't work in picture in picture option?

I really dislike the mute icon showing on a tab when it's muted. Is there a way to keep a tab muted but not show this icon? This is actually the default functionality on Chrome and I believe this is much better design.

This is because the muted tabs are usually my pinned tabs, and these tabs are small when pinned. So when I go to click them I more often than not inadvertently click the mute icon and end up unmuting it, when I actually want to select the tab. Things like Rocketchat, Emails, things I use the most but also are usually work related and would be very annoying if I had unmuted.

If there's no way I really hope this can be a option, whether to show or hide the mute icon.

PS: Btw it's important to show which tabs are making sound, but I don't think I've ever thought to myself I really wish I had sound from "x" tab, but I wonder which one is muted. If I wanted sound from a tab, I'm on it, and if I don't hear sound I check if the tab is muted, simple.

After restarting Firefox, my saved logins were missing. I tried moving my logins.json file and key4.db file to my new profile folder, many times, but it does not update my saved passwords on Firefox. I have no other way of accessing my Protonmail account, but I do have the logins.json file with the encrypted password - I just don't have a way to decrypt it. Any help would be much appreciated! I've followed the instructions on the article to import data from an old profile and nothing has worked, all of my old profiles are gone now (I tried using the terminal to restart Firefox with the old profiles but it still didn't work) but I have the original logins.json and key4.db files on my computer.

I am running the current version of Firefox 86.0.1 and MacOS Big Sur 11.23. More often than not when trying to open a webpage I get the spinning colorwheel and the page does not load, after about 5 minutes the spinning colorwheel goes away and Firefox is dead. I must kill it and restart. This also happened frequently before the latest MacOS update.

Each time Firefox has crashed, I've submitted the report. How can I prevent this?

This happened every time 2 weeks or so ago. I cleared the cache and it seemed to work temporarily. I've run Firefox for a number of years now and only within the last month has it given me problems with Plex.
