I can't get firefox to play amazon music web page or netflix because it claims to be installing an app which it never completes. I've tried to purge cache for the site in question, to no avail. What is the solution?

Can't login to Outlook.

Get message "Secure Connection Failed"

Pressed "Learn more" and am now advised to do something I don't understand.

Please advise what I should do in simple steps

Thanks

all my tabs from open session disappeared?!?!?

and no way to restore it; the option disappeared and I never erased it or close any of the tabs manually and it was on sync. Where did they all go ? I can see now the history from my laptop mixed with my mobile under the history tab but the session disappeared?!?!

Firefox use to be EXCEPTIONAL and 2 years ago it star5ed to go downward; please convince me to stay loyal and not switch to brave or opera; this is becoming worst every months.

I did everything I found with ChatGpt and nothing works:(## Recovering Lost Tabs in Firefox Android

I understand that all your open tabs in Firefox Android have disappeared, even though they are synced. Don't worry, there are ways to restore them and reopen that session on your mobile device.

• • Here are the steps to recover your lost tabs:**

• • 1. Check Recently Closed Tabs:**

• Open Firefox on your Android device.
• Tap the three dots menu in the top right corner.
• Select "History" from the menu.
• Choose "Recently Closed Tabs" from the History list.
• This will display a list of recently closed tabs. If you see the session you're looking for, tap on it to restore all the tabs.

• • 2. Use the "Restore Previous Session" Feature:**

• If the "Recently Closed Tabs" option doesn't work, try the "Restore Previous Session" feature.
• Open Firefox on your Android device.
• Tap and hold the "Home" button.
• A pop-up menu will appear. Select "Restore Previous Session".
• This will restore the last browsing session you had open, including all the tabs.

• • 3. Check Your Synced Devices:**

• If the above methods don't work, check if your lost tabs are open on another synced device.
• Open Firefox on your computer or another mobile device where you are logged in with the same Firefox account.
• Look for the lost tabs in the "History" or "Recently Closed Tabs" section.
• If you find them, you can open them on your Android device by syncing your browsing history.

• • 4. Contact Firefox Support:**

• If none of the above methods work, you can contact Firefox support for further assistance.
• You can reach them through their website: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/fix-problems/
• Explain your situation and they will try to help you recover your lost tabs.

• • Additional Tips:**

• To prevent this from happening again, consider enabling the "Open Tabs in Background" setting in Firefox. This will keep your tabs open even if you close the app.
• You can also set Firefox to automatically restore your previous session when you open the app.

• • I hope this helps you recover your lost tabs and reopen your session on your mobile device.**); is there a way im missing ?

When I tried to sign in After I bought a. second pc, You totally confused The former owners. account with mine, Leading to her Canceling Firefox because. we shared passwords for Weeks. I don’t know what’s going on, but I wish someone would pick up a phone over there. I was with y’all for 15 years. Look at the past tense. I got to move on.

I was wondering how I could disable these banner notifications whenever a download completes. I've tried setting `browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel` and `browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete` to false, as well as disabling plasma and GNOME. But they still seem to appear

I keep getting: Save Login for http://blabla.xyz?!!

if i say 'never' it just keeps asking.

now your saying. aah. thats cause it cannot differentiate a ipv4 and a hostname.

The gethostbyname() function returns a structure of type hostent for the given host name. Here name is either a hostname or an IPv4 address

i wonder then what this browser does. not remembering by name. here thus the word never is better replaced by -> ask me again next time.

For 2 days now I have a big problem! Firefox froze, and I ended up closing it with the programme manager. When I wanted to reopen I got this: Firefox est déjà en cours d’exécution mais ne répond pas. L’ancien processus Firefox doit être arrêté pour pouvoir ouvrir une nouvelle fenêtre. BUT - it refuses to close when I click on "close" (fermer).

I tried the programme manager - but Firefox isn't shown as being open.

I've made a back up of my profile. I can't delete parent.block ... I'm told "Firefox is running already" and I must close it. Every troubleshooting step comes to the same barrier to completing it! Almost all guide one from an open Firefox page - and I can't open Firefox! I can't "uninstall" for the same reason!

All my passwords are in Firefox - and I can't import them to Chrome without closing Firefox completely! I'm going mad - urgent need to access my passwords!

Many web pages now 'flash' when opened in FF (128.0.3 64bit W10). ALL graphics images turn on then off in synchrony. Text does not seem to be affected. Disabling HW acceleration has no effect.

sample web page: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/01/eu-ai-act-goes-into-effect-heres-what-it-means-for-us-tech-firms.html This problem does NOT occur using Google Chrome. [One difference noted seems to be the TOP of the web page has an mp4 video advert. It displays in Chrome, but not in ffox]

I haven't loggued in to my matrix account in a long time. I didn't remember which way i used, so i used my email adress, which created a new account. Trying to log out and in again didn't showed me the other options such as login with mozilla (sso), so i deleted that new account (@sebbu2:mozilla.org). Meanwhile, I'm not sure i even am loggued out properly, since i get the same message when i try the original account (@sebbu:mozilla.org) that used mozilla sso.
