For weeks now google translate has not been working as it should, when I translate something it usually defaults to translating it to English, but if I change the language to any other than English it still only shows the English translation (or whatever language it got "stuck" on).

I have signed out and in of my google account, have the latest version of Firefox (134.0.2), refreshing the pages doesn't help. I don't have this issue in other browsers.

Recently I have had several experiences with captcha when paying for something with a credit card. I check the box saying I'm not a robot, get a green arrow, but then the purchase does not go through. Error message says I failed to satisfy the captcha, even though I was never shown the grid of images. Just now I tried the same operation with the same company invoice using Chrome, and it went through successfully by just checking the box I'm not a robot. This is very inconvenient.

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

Installed Firefox on my laptop. Already running on my desktop.

Whenever I try to open a link, I get: Get an app to open this 'microsoft-edge' link

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

Is this Microsofts way of saying "Use Edge?" Can I change settings to make it work?

Hi Win10 PC fully up to date. Changed my printer from a Xerox to an HP laser. In the control panel, set the HP as the default printer. MS Office prints on the HP without prompting. Firefox (134.0.2) always defaults to the Xerox. The HP is available in the drop down box. Restarting the PC or reloading Firefox makes no difference, Firefox always defaults to the (non existent) Xerox. MS Edge defaults to the HP. Any ideas? Regards - Andrew

For some time now I have not been able to access any website secured with Captcha verification. My browser doesn't recognize that I'm a human and keeps going back to square one. Importantly: this problem does not occur in other browsers. However, I would prefer to stay with Mozilla, so it will be nice if something can be done with it. I didn't change any settings, I didn't change hardware, I didn't reinstall Mozilla, so that's not the problem. I've looked through my security settings and don't see anything that would help in this case. Especially since these are websites that I had previously accessed and logged in without any problems.

Lately I've had to reload/refresh pages more frequently because of download issues. In order to the in FF I need to press the F5 key. To do the same thing in either Edge or Chrome all I need to do is right click and a little popup screen shows me the reload/refresh right there. Much more convenient to use. FF should use a similar technique.

Firefox is no longer saving all my history. OR, I can't find it. I can't find it because: HISTORY/SHOW ALL HISTORY is now only showing "today". This occurred with v133, but I do not know if it occurred with any given update. I updated to 134.0.1. That did not fix problem. I have not tried regressing.

In the past, I was able to save YEARS of history (although I sometimes created a new profile to restart the history file due to its size).

1. I was using the "DYNAMIC HISTORY" addon, which worked fine for years. When I found Firefox was showing only the current days' history, I disabled that addon. Didn't fix anything.

2. "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option IS NOT SELECTED. NEVER HAS BEEN

3. OTHER SETTINGS: no - Always use private browsing mode yes - Remember browsing and download history yes - Remember search and form history NO - Clear history when Firefox closes

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am also baffled: googling this problem comes up empty handed.

Whay have extensions stopped workong with latest Firefox update. E.g. Last pass is listed as an installed extension but clicking in the installed list just gives a settings page, and there is no button to enable pinning to the top bar, so I can't access Lastpass at all in this way. Have updated Firefox to 134.0.2 and reinstalled the Last Pass extension but no change. Previously I have been able to pin Lastpass extension to the top bar next to the Download icon. Other icon that do work: Pocket, Download, Account, Noscript, Duckduckgo search, ABP and jigsaw piece. When will this get fixed pleased?

In some pages, redaer view shows the wrong text -- it looks like it picks up text from a hyperlink. An example is this page:

where Reader View shows the text from:

I am using Firefox 134.0 on MacOS (Sequoia 15.2)

ver: 134.0.1 Windows 10 Pro I have Firefox set to open filetype PDF in Browser. Normally I use IDM which automatically download PDFs, unless I press ALT key while clicking DOWNLOAD button, then it does not, in order to allow Firefox to handle the PDF.

Firefox presently does nothing. With filetype setting set to Open in Browser, Firefox Does nothing. If settings are set to Ask, it does not ask. The PDF filename appears at bottom of screen momentarily.

ver: 115.19.0esr Windows 7 Utl 7601 The exact same behaviour was also seen on a Windows 7 system running Firefox 115.19.0esr. PDF is also set there to "Open in Firefox". Again, when ALT pressed when clicking Download button, Firefox does nothing.

I'm not sure if this is a FireFox issue or a google glitch, but here goes. Please give me direction on how to correct the above mentioned problems.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I accepted an update to my computer and immediately Firefox could not load, the exe file is missing. Again I use windows 7 . May have lost all passwords and bookmarks. Please advise.

Hi there, I just got a new work laptop and tried to sync my firefox browsers so I could keep my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop. Unfortunately I forgot my password, so I had to reset it on my new device. I logged in again on my old laptop but it's still not syncing or updating the bookmarks on the new laptop. Is there any way to move my bookmarks and passwords over to my new laptop? Thanks!

I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

I'm trying to use a script which requires a question mark after the "dot com." I.e., if the url should be http://www.URL.com?custom_URL, it changes it to http://www.URL.com/?custom_URL. How to I keep it from changing the URL - and what is the point of jamming that slash in there in the first place?

This is my second attempt at getting an answer. Can't anyone help me with this?
