Firefox Community Forum

Firefox has been my default browser for many years on my debian linux desktop.

I upgraded from version 129.0.2-1 to version 130.0-1 in the normal manner and the new firefox does not connect to remote sites. It does connect to local pages on my PC and, surprisingly, also to www.google.com from where I can access news, for example.

The chrome browser on the same PC has no problems accessing sites, nor does the version 129.0.2 firefox. Only the version 130.0 firefox has a problem.

This happened using my current profile, using --safe-mode and using --no-profile mode on the version 130.0 firefox. I was able to see some packets from a remote site (www.akamai.com) come back on wireshark but the page did not display on the browser. This also happens for sites that appear on the default new tab page, like wikipedia and youtube.

Any ideas on this? thank!!

How do I have more bookmarks than the 9 that are listed. I used to have a list of 20 or 25 bookmarks. Now if I add a new bookmark, one of the old ones is deleted.

I am debugging a Web page that performs several AJAX requests.

To this effect I sometimes find it convenient to reissue an AJAX request (from the Network pane of Development Tools, right click + "Resend") and would find it even more convenient to open the request in a separated tab, as was possible until, if I recall correctly, four or five months ago.

Now the latter option does not work, likely because of some security tightening - the "new request" might be seen as a different context, I don't know. The AJAX endpoint receives no cookies, so it can't load the appropriate state, and restarts as a blank slate with a new cookie, which makes the reply useless to me. Even worse, at this point the new cookie value is propagated to the originating window, effectively crashing the entire debugging session.

Is there some way of disabling this option and reverting it to the older, less secure behaviour, on my own development Firefox only?

Recently, I've run into logging in on at least two websites where I have two-factor authentication set up. I'll click the sign in button, and rather than advancing to ask for my authentication code, I get stuck in an endless loading loop and am unable to do anything.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have already tried clearing cache and cookies and restarting in safe mode.

This issue only happens to me on desktop. The mobile version of firefox still lets me log in, but I prefer to use desktop.

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I recently had to reset my Windows operating system. After reinstalling Mozilla Firefox, I attempted to sign in to my Firefox account. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my password and had to reset it. Although I successfully signed in after resetting my password, none of my previously synchronized data, including passwords and bookmarks, appeared.

I had performed a synchronization before the reset, so I expected my data to be restored upon signing in. However, this did not happen, and I am now unable to access my important passwords and bookmarks. Could you please assist me in recovering my data? I rely heavily on this information for my daily activities and would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

whenever I use a fire fox browser my game (specifically minecraft doesnt happen on any other game) my mouse goes completely invisible whenever my browser is open, and ive tried closing it and trying a different browser like waterfox which also gets the issue and ive tried chrome that DOESNT get the issue. I havent had this problem before since recently and I dont believe I have done any changes to my game or my firefox so i'd like to get help on why this happens specifically on firefox/waterfox, and why its only minecraft and no other games

I used to have a "reload" icon on the bar with "home" and other things like "bookmarks." I found it in the "overflow" icon place. I tried to grab it and place it where it used to be on the toolbar. It disappeared and I have no idea where it is now. It's not where I found it in the "unused buttons."

I am having trouble pinning any Extensions to my toolbar. When i click on the Extensions icon (puzzle piece), the Extensions menu immediately pops up. My extension (Bitwarden) is set to "Enabled". When I click on the three horizontal dots, however, the only options are 1) Remove, 2) Report, or 3) Manage. There's no option given to pin the extension.

Because of that, the extension basically never opens, and I am unable to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

I am running Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) in Windows 11 on a Surface tablet. FWIW, the extension is running fine in Chrome.

If an URL already have many tags or longish tags I can no longer see suggested tags when starting to type tags. Image example illustrates. This URL already have the following tag list:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI

Old behavior was if started to type ", spi" it would list suggestions:

Spitfire Spitfire_MkIX Spitfire_MkV Spitfire_MkVI

Easy & clear to select from.

Now it lists all already existing tags before each suggestion:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkIX 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire_MkV 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkVI

Suggestions are scrolled right invisible outside the input box.

Who thought this was a good new feature? It adds nothing, I can already see existing tags, why would I want to see them repeated for each new suggested tag (while not actually seeing the suggested new tag)?

How can I turn this *!$&@! off and return to old behavior?

Is the add-on "Stop Auto Reload" by kgersen ( found listed @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stop-auto-reload/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search) the right one to choose to stop FaceBook from automatically refreshing my page? If so anything I need to know when I install it, or is there something better to choose? Thanks.

Approximately 2 years back, for a short period of time, FireFox let you choose an audio output device in video conferencing web apps, through the web app directly.

This seems to be gone now, but I'd like to turn the feature back on.

It's very problematic to have to change your default audio device for video calls, as your computers sound effects and whatnot will also play in your headset as well, where as before, all you got was the audio from the video call in your headset.

Is there a way to turn this on again? Owl Practice (one of the VC web apps I use) still shows the different output devices, but regardless of which one you pick, it always comes out the default device. For a while this feature actually worked, but now it doesn't.

Is there a setting I can change? Maybe in about:config?

Thanks!

I have tried repeatedly and failed. At the point where I select the backup file as per the instructions, I dont get a confimation of success or failure, which leaves me in doubt if I have done the recovery correctly. When I come to look at the bookmarks, nothing happens. The bookmarks and the software to open them are not connecting. Can you help?

I always work with two topics, running two instances of Firefox for each. Each instance contains many tabs. The problem is that when I close the browser, all tabs are closed, and restoring the previous session opens the entire browsing history in both instances. Does anyone know how I can save the tabs in each Firefox instance so that when I reopen the browser, I can easily manage and split them?

When I type in Word 365 (Mozilla Firefox, 129.0.2 (64-bit)- snap for Ubuntu 24.04), using East European characters (e.g. š, č, ž), the text after the first such written character (see the first uploaded image) disappears after going to new line (pressing Enter or moving mouse to another line) (see the second uploaded image). It worked before on the Ubuntu 22.04 with manually installed firefox (not from snap) and is also working in Chrome.

I am unable to find the solution. I already installed additional fonts, I also created links to the installed fonts in $USER/snap/current/.local/share but nothing helps.

Has anyone encountered similar problem (and found a solution)?

Hi, This is more of a nuisance than a serious problem. I am constantly getting a header message in Sharepoint "allow access to Microsoft 365 account". When I choose "allow access" I get a pop-up that lets me choose my institutional SSO account, which says I'm signed in already. This doesn't occur in Chrome (where I'm logged into my institutional email).

Does anyone know how to stop this message from popping up every 5 minutes?

I am new to Sharepoint (and not impressed!). I don't actually see any difference in its behavior whether I've allowed access or not.

thanks for any hints
