I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Google Voice in Firefox where I am unable to send DTMF tones (touch-tone signals) using the keypad during an active call. This means I cannot navigate automated phone menus (IVRs) or input PIN codes when required.

Issue Details:

   When I press the numbers on my keyboard or the on-screen dial pad during a call, no tones are recognized by the receiving system.
   The issue occurs only in Firefox. The same function works fine in other browsers like Chrome.
   I have confirmed that my microphone and audio settings are working properly.
   WebRTC is enabled (media.peerconnection.enabled = true in about:config).
   The issue persists even in a fresh Firefox profile with no extensions enabled.

on using firefox for first time, get message

The connection has timed out

The server at www.google.co.uk is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

on re-try, problem disappears using 136.0 Beta 5 last daily update 12 Feb 2025

I have used Firefox for ages now and love it. I have noticed in the last few months that some functions on some web sites are not able to be accessed. Such as submit, place an order, and the like. I have to use another browser. Is there any reason for this as I really don't like to use any other browser other than Firefox but it seems to be that I have to. Is there some way that I can get around this?

To Whom It May Concern:

I was able to login to ChatGPT before January 30, 2025.

I run Firefox on Windows 10. Currently I am using Firefox 135.0 which seems to be creating problems with Authentication Errors with ChatGPT.

Some extensions I had at the time are:

Firefox Multi-Container Tabs BitDefender Traffic Light AdGuard Terms of Service Didn't Read Print Friendly and MeasureIt.

These are all extensions I actually use.

And prior to January 30, 2025, I did not have a problem.

But ever since then I have not been able to login to ChatGPT due to Authentication Errors. I signed up using my email and password and never use anything else to login.

I am not using a VPN.

I cleared my Cache.

I disabled my Extensions.

I tried to login in a Private Window.

I even refreshed Firefox and it still would not work.

I have contacted ChatGPT's support team and they suggested I try a different browser and Chrome worked.

But I don't want to use Google if I can avoid it.

Please help me with this.

I cannot open any web sites from the Mozilla Firefox on my computer. Every attempt gets the message :tab has crashed. Will I need to abandon using Firefox if this is an unfixable problem?

I use to be able to integrate my excel calendar and my wife's. Entries were different colors and changes on my computer showed up on my Ipad. Now I have my calendar but I can't find hers. Does she need to make a change on her excel as well?

I have a typical search bar at the top of the browser window. Recently, as soon as I begin to type a search, the bar expands to cover the whole top of the browser window. How do I stop this from happening? It's unnecessary and irritating. Firefox 133.0, Win 11

I tried to open my Firefox browser, but was unable to. Same thing with my Google chrome browser. I ran the troubleshooter for network problems, but unable to get a solution.

I downloaded a new Firefox browser in the hopes that it would let me access the other browser so I could retrieve all the settings, bookmarks, etc. However, everything disappeared when the new browser was installing.

Is there any way for me to retrieve that information or is it a total loss?

I use Firefox on all my computers and phone, because its ability to save my browsing history and sync across devices has been unparalleled. This is invaluable because a certain website I frequent has a nasty habit of eliminating and locking its pages. (I’ve asked them about it and they plan to continue doing this.) Without the exact link and all the metadata from my browsing history, I cannot retrieve those pages.

This past weekend when I went to recover a page, I discovered that FireFox has only six months of my history, not the many years I expected. I checked my pre-update profile, and it had no history either. I have some computers that have been offline for a few months so maybe they have versions old enough to still have my history.

How do I get my history back and how do I avoid FF destroying my history without my consent in the future?

The last update did something to my search bar. I still have it, but when I click on it, it moves to the upper left corner, prevents me from seeing my tabs, bookmarks etc. How can I disable this annoying change? If someone has the answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

Every time I open Firefox recently, and the Yahoo.com web page starts up, I get an annoying prompt from global privacy control, that asks to allow or not allow. IT'S ANNOYING. I went into the settings for that apparent add on feature, that I DIDN'T add, and set all 5 settings to FALSE, but the program still pops up. It ALSO screws up the format of the Firefox web page, and shows the Yahoo News feed totally different and it's also VERY ANNOYING HOW do I totally get rid of the global privacy control? I can select the Firefox settings under security to tell web pages to not sell the info, as far as I know, correct, so I don't need the retarded global add on? ?? I want Firefox news feed like it was before the update. Thank you very much... HOPEFULLY!
