Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I'd like to create a Firefox add-on that communicates with another process on the local computer. I've found the documentation about the WebExtension API and have already created a few add-ons, also for Thunderbird. But I couldn't find information about the IPC mechanisms in the documentation or the rest of the web.

How does it work, where is it explained?

I can handle sockets and named pipes (Windows) on the desktop development side, just need the browser side.

From last night every time I try to download from K2s the download is blocked by Firefox as a malicious download , happens every time from this site. The files are fine and will download via Edge. I have not changed any settings , any idea why this is happening ?

Hi everyone,

I accidentally deleted my Mozilla account and now need to recover it. I’ve tried the usual recovery options but haven’t had any success. Does anyone know how I can restore a deleted Mozilla account or what steps I should take next?

Thanks for your help!

Westpac keep telling me it is the fault of my browser. While I was trying safe mode, deleting the cookies and cache etc. I came across this bit of odd information -

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-08-08-01-10-24-eb9193.png

Westpac have been telling me for two months that it is Firefox's fault, but I don't see how, given that it has always worked before. Finding this data makes me think the problem is Westpac's fault but they just keep saying the same old thing - use another browser. Well I don't want to! I have visual difficulties and my Firefox is heavily customised to account for that.

What is actually happening is that when I enter my information on the log In Page: https://banking.westpac.com.au/wbc/banking/handler?TAM_OP=login&logout=false then click on the sign in button the screne goes white like it is going to log in and then the sign in page comes back up without the information I had entered.

Is there any thing you can do to help me?

Yours Sincerely, Ms Jacq Felis.

When I have the https://www.wavve.com/ site(VOD site of South Korea) open and I'm looking at a different tab, Firefox automatically redirects wavve.com to https://wavve.co/. It doesn't happen every time.

Firefox version 128.0.3 (newest but I've been having this trouble for more than 1 year) Adguard addon.

What should I fix?

I have somehow set my email inbox such that when I double click on a new message I've received (or a previously opened message from that matter), rather than opening the message to read, it opens the email as a draft response to the sender and me, from me. What do I need to do or reset to go back to normal. Thanks ... Mark

I have installed Firefox on a new computer and add all my extensions. Phantom wallet when clicked is too large and there are buttons on the bottom that are missing as a result. Is there a way to change the size of the windows that pop up when clicking on an extension? Thanks

Firefox 129.0 (64bit) - Windows 10 (with current updates)

Sometimes (except when I'm demonstrating the problem of course) a Google search simply hangs. In the search field (next to the shield & lock) the website for the search appears, eg https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=how+secure+are+android+phones or https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=nsw+service+parking+meter+app there is no other response and no activity in bottom left corner of the window.

Simply clearing history (history, cookies, cached files, but not site settings) fixes the problem and the search can then be repeated and new searches done until the next time, when it's a case of rinse & repeat. No other action is required, which would seem to suggest that the problem isn't elsewhere.

This problem affects both my wife's and my PC (same configs), and has for several weeks, sorry can't be more precise as to when it started.

Thanks, Mike

I get this message when trying to watch live tv on firefox since the last update this morning. The website works perfectly on other browers.

Thank you

What happened to the word "Firefox" at the top left of the browser? I help a lot of folks with computers, and since most things are done in a browser, sometimes have to ask them what browser they're using and there's no easy way to tell from just looking. Even hitting ALT to bring up the menu says nothing about it being Firefox.

Is there a way to put that back/why removed?

If not, I'll send feedback to Mozilla requesting that be added back but they don't seem responsive to such feedback.

Thanks.
