Firefox Community Forum

After several years doing online business with my local bank, I just started getting this message whenever I tried to log into my account at the bank with Firefox 129.0.2 in Windows 11 on this HP ENVY Laptop 17:

“Access Denied You are unauthorized to access this resource. Reference ID is: f0575ab8a6. Troubleshooting Steps. 1. Reload the home page and try again. 2. Clear your browser cache and try again. 3. Try logging in with a different browser. 4. Try logging in with a different device.”

My initial questions to a customer service rep at the bank were not fruitful. Following their advise, I tried reloading the bank’s login site. Still denied. I cleared the Firefox cache. No good. I was able to login successfully with another Windows computer, a desktop running Win 10, also using Firefox 129.0.2. I can also log into the bank on this laptop using both Google Chrome and MS Edge browsers. A strange wrinkle: I can log into my account with this Firefox-Computer if I use a Private Browsing Tab.

Please help me fix whatever I must have done so I can continue to use Firefox here.

I could not sign into my account on Bluemountain.com but I could on Microsoft Edge. You should look into this. I have used this account many times over the years on Firefox, but starting this week the "sign in" box would not go to my account. I am writing to be helpful, since it would be sad to have to go over to Edge.

Google is my default search engine in the address bar on firefox. When I search in the address bar, it just resets to the page that I am currently on and doesn't load the search. It does the same if I try typing 'google.com' or 'google.ca' but gmail.com seems to work fine.

If I type in a full website address for other sites (reddit, wikipedia, duckduckgo, etc) it works fine.

I deleted firefox all together and downloaded it fresh and reset to default settings. Right now I only have one extension and it's ublock origins. I've disabled ublock origins to see if that would help, and I'm still having problems.

The problem is inconsistent where sometimes if I type google.com it will take me there and other times even that won't work. Sometimes if I try changing the default search engine in settings and then switching it back to google, it will fix it for a few searches, but then I go back to having issues.

It just sort of keeps circling back to the same problem even if I can get it to work briefly. Re-opening firefox in safe mode clears the problem while it's in safe mode, but even with all extensions disabled, the problem keeps coming back when I'm not in safe mode.

Any ideas or fixes?

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.

Hi Whichever selection I make on pdf files in your Settings your system always saves the file unnecessarily even if I am just 'viewing in Firefox' so I end up with loads of files usually on my Desktop which I don't want and I have to go through them all later and delete them

Surely there should be a 'Just view only' setting for pdf files. If I want to save them after I've read the contents then fine I can manually do this but your default setting when you view pdf files in Firefox of saving every single file automatically is insane. Much of the time when you're doing research, you just want to view the pdf file and when you close it you want it to be gone. I appreciate I can save them to another destination apart from my Desktop but wherever I save them I'm going to end up with hundreds of useless pdf files that I only needed temporarily when I was viewing the contents-I don't need them saved automatically.

Can you please address this by giving a 'Just view only' setting? Thank you Michael

Hello! When entering some (in tis case financial: https://www.nordnet.se/se) sites the time shown are exactly 2hours behind the system time. If system time is 11:15 (correct time zone in Sweden) the time shown on the site is 09:15. This is probably something that has to do with an update of Firefox. I have automatic update to Firefox but the problem has been there for some months although I have not been able to recognice it until the recent week. I have tried a "clean" new install of Firefox to a new directory with no import of bookmarks or anything but the problem is exactly the same. For your information I have tried a clean install of Duckduckgo browser which do not suffer this problem. But I want to keep with Firefox which I have used since at least 15years. I guess there is a "timestamp" or samething that have gone wrong, but should be easy to correct if you just know where to look. Best regards /Gunnar

downloading only allows .part files to appear, from Google Photos. In spite of the error message, the source file is intact and can be viewed from my Android device ( source )

When I'm watching a show, sometimes I get uncomfortable during certain parts and will click the "skip" button a couple times until the scene is over. However, sometimes If I do this too many times the audio will completely stop (but the video continues playing). I will need to refresh the page for it to fix.

I've tried running firefox in troubleshooting mode but the issue seemed to still be there. Doesnt happen on any other browsers either.

I've been trying to watch live sports events on SECN+ through my Hulu subscription, but I'm encountering an error message stating, "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." I discovered that Firefox is blocking the stream, while it works perfectly on Chrome. With the college football season and other sports events approaching, I’m concerned that if this issue persists, I may have to stop using Firefox, which I've relied on for over two decades. Please help me fix this issue at your earliest convenience. Thanks.

Good evening, For a few days I have this problem (probably with newest version (129.0/1). Each time i try to search something in a new tab by typing in search bar and pressing enter - it just will not proceed. The new tab just stays titled "new tab", doesn't proceed further until I press it few times (6-8 times) - then it loads the search engine with results.

It NEVER happened before. I am certain that I did not change anything.

Yours faithfully, Behemort

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy on my desktop. Problem does not appear in Windows 10.

I can click the search box and the list of search engines shows. I can change the default search engine in settings. Mouse over highlights the selections.

Clicking on one of the choices does nothing.

I think there have been 2 updates since the problem first appeared.

PS: There also appears to be an issue with js. Some functions on websites do not work although most of the scripts do work. In particular comments on comicskingdom.com do not work and the same with comments on seattletimes.com which apparently uses the same script. Both websites work on Windows 10.

Hi, I'm using Linux Mint 22, Firefox 129.0 (64-bit). Browser is hanging after approximately 4 hours. Not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but this is where I'm starting the troubleshooting process. My suspects are (1) the browser, (2) NVIDIA drivers (3) the new Linux Mint kernel or possibly (4) a mix of the above. This was a fresh install with default options on (Wilma). Using the latest graphics drivers for GeForceRTX 2060, driver version 555.58.02, went down to native drivers, no change. Honestly, this one has me baffled. Been troubleshooting this for 3 days. It feels like a memory leak. Nothing on the crash reports. First, browser will hang, then mouse and keyboard. Hard reboot is the only option. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a virus that posts its site on my landing page / home page.

It cannot be dismissed. I cannot find any part of its URL in Finder. Norton Antivirus doesn't detect it. It cannot be overwritten. It cannot be edited away. It CAN be moved to the fourth line of home page icons and only three lines shown, which puts it out of sight. Rebooting the machine doesn't cure it.

Can I find the listing of sites on my home page and remove it from the list?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not good with computers so help has to be put in simple terms.

Hi. I got a new laptop some weeks ago (Linux Fedora) and I've been using Firefox without any problems until last week. When watching Youtube videos my system shell crashes completely. This problem ONLY happens with Youtube videos and Firefox. Other browsers work fine and I don't have this problem in other websites.

Recent crashes ID: bp-f6b555b9-0fbb-447d-a3b3-9f7ee0240818 bp-1fad31a3-0735-49dd-92ac-44e2d0240818 bp-19ae85a5-8bd3-4d3b-b366-f65a10240818 bp-7ca6ded3-871e-45ad-8351-f21c40240818 bp-88f4aca2-437b-45d1-8d7a-11a7c0240818 bp-ebb8ed44-af42-44c1-89f9-54b1f0240818 bp-3aa6e40e-467c-4c72-8373-b23e30240818

Hi i have script

<script>

       (() => {
           const script = document.createElement("script");
           script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
           script.src = "https://js.hsforms.net/forms/embed/v2.js";

           script.addEventListener("load", () => {
               hbspt.forms.create({
                   region: "na1",
                   portalId: "39672158",
                   formId: "892e2f84-627a-4c41-8f9e-642cb468a70c",
               });
           });

           document.head.append(script);
       })();
   </script>

I have contact the script provider team and it says that

For transparency, I'm going to relay what was shared in an internal inquiry:

Because it's an external feature of Firefox that is designed to disable exactly this kind of content (external tracking and forms), there isn't much we can do.

In Mozilla's docs they explicitly call out forms as one of the types of content this is designed to block which specifically mentions a few forms areas here.

Many websites load external ads, videos and other content with tracking code from other companies. For example, a website may embed a video from a video platform. The code that loads the video contains trackers. Blocking tracking content can make sites load much faster, but parts of pages might not work correctly or appear at all.

Tracking content can include:

Ads

Login fields

Forms

Payments

Comments

Videos and photos

Buttons

I can see this happening in the Private mode but can you see on your end, if following the settings in Firefox's documentation to disable this for all windows does the form appear in non-private mode? Hmm even after setting to custom and unchecking all the boxes the form script still doesn't load.

I added https://www.psbspeakers.com as an exception too but it doesn't appear to do the trick.

As far as this goes since this is something implemented by Firefox we're not able to overrule this on our end

so now what should i do

Basically i was on instagram and i couldnt save the webpage of the suggestion profiles on someones profile so i decided instead to copy each of the suggestion profiles and paste them into gmail where i sent the email to my self, opened it in a new tab and saved the webpage as an htm file but now the image links attached to the urls and the plain text are broken making it impossible to view the images tide to each url any help of how to fix the broken images would be much help
