I-Firefox Community Forum

When I try to look at Swedish church record images online at Ancestry.com, the images do not display properly. The image is partially blocked by randomly placed rectangular shaped white spaces. This does not happen with Chrome browser. I have included an image that demonstrates the problem. Can someone suggest a fix?

i asked this already but no answer. I have two recovery keys, how can i check which is the one set for my preferred installation of Firefox. One was for my en-CA install, the other for an en-US install made a week later due to an update glitch. I had to use my en-CA recovery key to recover my settings to the en-US install, which then made a new recovery key.

I want to get rid of the spurious en-US install. -en-CA is in it's original location c:\program files\mozilla firefox

-en-US is in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" the directory trees appear the same except en-CA has a locale.ini file that the other does not.

Does the original recovery key STILL apply to the -en-CA install or has the -en-US install's key replaced it.

And can I delete the -en-US folder with consequences?

Hi,

I have a dual monitor setup and quite often and randomly, when I launch the browser it opens on the secondary monitor instead of the primary, which is the one I always use. Firefox is up to date: 135.0 (64-bit)

I've read somewhere that I have to move the browser to the primary monitor, resize it so that it is not fully expanded and close. After opening it again it opens on the primary screen and I can maximize it and close again, but when I open the browser again the next day it may open on the secondary screen again... or not, just a very random thing. Any clue?

Thanks, Pere

Some time this year I noticed that when I get home from work and wake up my monitor (PC is always on and doesn't sleep or log out) I get an email notification in the bottom right corner for every email I received that day and it takes a couple of minutes to clear.

I don't remember this before, it was only live notifications in the bottom right as they came in, if you clicked the Windows notification icon it would show you all of the past notifications on the list of course.

I still want the notifications for live incoming mail but not all of the unread emails previously.

I don't know if this is a Firefox setting or a Windows one but I couldn't figure out how to change without disabling notifications all together.

Trying to search on Firefox is now 70% impossible. Keep getting error code: Secure Connection Failed

"An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

What is going on with this? I even get this code when I try to search on how to reset ALL settings back to factory default. What can be done??

I have vertical tabs enabled and I'm trying to access the tab overview menu to close duplicate tabs. Unfortunately I can't find this menu anymore. If I disable vertical tabs, I can see the icon in the top right. How do

How do I access the tab overview menu when using vertical tabs?

Thanks

This is something I've noticed in the last couple of mouths...

Initially everything on Firefox runs fine for the first 1-3 hours, but after that the multiple YouTube website video tabs I generally have open, especially the very last YouTube website video tab that's open, or any new YouTube website video tab I open, starts to lag like crazy.

Using my mouse to click the play/pause on the video player, or pressing the play/pause function key or spacebar on my keyboard, takes a good 3 or 4 seconds before the input action is registered, and it's not just that but the entire UI of the web page itself is slowed down.

Doing simple things like clicking on-screen buttons to navigate, and scrolling down to load comments, or scrolling down to load other video thumbnails etc etc, takes a good few seconds to actually work.

In general the YouTube tab(s) become very slow and unresponsive, and it's not just the video player on the tabs - it's the YouTube website in general that is affected.

I don't see a substantial difference in CPU or RAM in Task Manager when these 'slow downs' occur, but the fan speeds inside my mini PC do spin louder and louder.

For whatever reason this problem ONLY happens with YouTube. Other websites via other tabs tend to run and function just fine 24/7.

I'm running the latest 133.0.3 version of Firefox, and my system specs are as follows:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700T CPU @ 2.00GHz Storage: 595.2 GB Installed RAM: 16 GB (15.7 GB usable)

Other people have also reported similar things over on Reddit with regards to Firefox and YouTube.

I've been a Firefox user for ages but in the last week I haven't been able to use it at all. Every time I launch the desktop browser it gives me a blank page. I can type in addresses but they never take me anywhere. No google. Can't access settings. Nothing. I've tried seemingly everything. Safe mode. Administrator. Deleted everything and installer at least 5 times to try and start from scratch to no avail. Tried Revo. Tried multiple anti-malware cleans. System updates. Tried using older versions of Firefox. Everything short of a factory reset on the whole desktop which I'm really trying to avoid. I've checked every Reddit thread and forum post I could get my hands on and nothing is working. Does anyone know how to get Firefox working again? I've tried other browsers and hate them I would really like to keep using FF if I can. Picture shows what the app has looked like every time I boot it up or try to search anything for the past week.

I am using a Hammerspoon on MacOs to do my window management. This allows me to move windows around to different areas and monitors using my own hotkeys. For all other applications, this works perfectly. Windows move to the target area/screen instantly when I press a hotkey. However, Firefox always needs some "encouragement". On every key-press, it moves towards the desired location & size, but never gets there in one go.

After some googling, I recently found another question on this forum that seemed to fix the problem. It is this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438695

By setting `ui.prefersReducedMotion` to 1, Firefox stops its animation-stuff and does exactly what is expected when the windowmanager gives the window a series of `(x, y, w, h)` instructions. So, that seemed like the fix I needed.

But... I typically don't reboot my mac for weeks on end and I noticed that after "some time", Firefox reverts back to its old behaviour. I have not yet figured out if there is a minimum amount of time before this happens, or if it has something to do with locking/unlocking my mac. At the moment the only way to fix it again is to restart Firefox.

I know reducing animations in MacOS' accessibility-settings probably fixes it for good, but that is not what I want. That would remove _all_ animations from all of the apps and the OS. How can I help investigate this?

FF sometimes doesn't open links from email, and sometimes other links in a site. Frustrating when I need that download but can't get it. I disabled all my extensions, closed and reopened FF, but it didn't change anything. Had this problem with Brave too and it got so bad it was inopperable and had to delete it. I'm using Google for DNS.

Any help is appreciated

Everytime my phone or tablet does an update, Google changes my search engine from DuckDuckGo and Firefox to itself. How can I shoot it (Google)and make it go away. I hate them . !

In the Firefox View tab, we can search for Open Tabs. I am wondering how I can make a strict search for a particular pattern. For example, let's say I have hundreds of tab open for youtube like below:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=<random> https://youtube.com/watch?v=<random> https://youtube.com/watch?v=<random> https://youtube.com <---------------------I want this one to appear in my search

how can I ONLY search for open tabs that is the youtube front page (i.e to not match anything after the ".com"). If I just search for "youtube.com", it will match all of them, but I only want the front page.

Then, i can quickly close all of the duplicate

I can't sign into Sydney and I don't have a password so it says use the member ID number and I use it and it still doesn't work and I don't use the first three letters I use the numbers after that but then I have tried the first three letters also and it still didn't work
