I-Firefox Community Forum

Initially connects video playing to Headphones via Bluetooth then audio stops. Reloading doesn't help. But the same works perfectly on other browsers. Problem is with Firefox audio setting. The problem started only a week ago for firefox

You haven't provided an off switch for this "thumbnail preview image of the webpage" on my taskbar? I don't want anything dropping down from my task bar on hovering over it.

This is a new thing, that Firefox for some reason thought was a good idea. Mouse hovering on my taskbar, and have a drop down thumbnail preview image of the webpage?

Thank you all in advance...  :)

Hello, i am wondering about the blocking of extensions on "Quarantined Domains".

Is there a list of them available to explore? Who maintains this list? Can some fishy website admin add his domain to it to block some 3rd party security addons? How can i whitelist a fishy extension on only 1 blocked site without losing the protection?

The faq articles are not really helpful for this.

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!

Hello,

I recently got a laptop to make my work more flexible and wanted to transfer/sync my Mozilla Firefox data from my desktop PC. I logged into my Mozilla account and synced the laptop with Firefox on my desktop, but it doesn’t open the tabs that are currently open on my desktop.

My question is: is there a way to open all tabs at once, or do I have to open each one individually?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards.

I want to install a old version 52.3.0 X64 on my computer for developing web app. (the application is run on 52.3.0 X64). But I can not find the installation. Is there download center for the firefox old version?

It works in Chromium 139 , Firefox ESR 128 , and latest WPS Office. HOW IF A CHINESE USER CANNOT TYPE CHINESE IN LATEST NIGHTLY (Debian forky/sid ,Linux kernel 6.16-rc7-amd64)

I am trying to log into the indian evisa (indianvisaonline.gov.in) website to print off an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) and when logging into the site I am getting a warning saying potential security risk ahead

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to indianvisaonline.gov.in. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

I do not know what to do for the best

I recently updated my browser, and I've noticed that while listening to music on YouTube, for some reason, the volume slider within the player also controls the stream volume within KDE Plasma's volume mixer, making for a much more frustrating experience. Now the volume resets to what was set on YOUTUBE rather than sticking to what was set in the VOLUME MIXER every time a new video plays or any time the page refreshes. This means that the volume gets reset every. single. time. The issue with this is not only that YouTube's volume slider isn't as accurate as KDE Plasma's, but also that a media player in a browser shouldn't be controlling its own system volume within the mixer because it causes issues and frustrations like these.

How do I separate player and stream volume?

Here's my inxi so you can see what I'm using/what I'm on: ```text System:

Why are my 3 rows of Home page tabs now so small? I can go to about:config, search for browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b and change to false and tabs are back to large. However, they soon revert back to very small. How can I keep them large?

Several of my financial accounts give me this error with Firefox. I had to go to Edge to get my tax documents. I'd much rather have a way to get to my sites without leaving Firefox.
