Firefox Community Forum

Firefox keeps attempting to access a web site with an unwanted application. The site is mv.outbrain.com and my virus software keeps asking to block the site. The popup is now becoming a nuisance how do I stop it or delete the reference to it

Good morning, I have strange issue. Websites on my Manjaro Linux (GNOME desktop enviroment, using Wayland and Xorg) are not displaying correctly. Sometimes there are white fonts on white background-color, sometimes black fonts on black background. Sometimes where the bg should be white, it is black. I have Firefox Sync between my firefox browser on Windows 11 and Manjaro. Every setting in both browsers are the same. I tried to follow the instructions, like removing history, cache, cookies, turning off hardware acceleration etc. I just have no idea what to do now.

Hi Where can I find firefox bookmarks on a pc without having exported them first my pc failed and I have a backup of the computers file structure so I cannot open firefox on the old computer. Does anyone know which folder the bookmarks are stored in Thanks

why, You are not saving all the log in and passwords lately. There are many that are missing in the list of save passwords. 2. Can you fix the slowness in my site and the Firefox Crashes? Thanks Teresa Scanlan-- [email removed from public]

Using MitID for eBoks results in an error. Using MitID for the bank goes fine.

FF 109.0.1 does NOT have that problem!

This problem is, most likely, seen in Denmark only, as MitID is a Danish security access.

Hi

I only have this problem on https://seb.se/ and it worked on my old computer with windows 10, it also works with Edge.

It seems Firefox does not recognize links on that site. Nothing can be clicked and the pointer does not change when hovering a link.

I have "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" selected but links are still opening in the same tab. I understand not all websites support opening links in new tabs, but links that are from the search results used to always open in new tabs and now it's not working for some reason.

After installing add on the badges are not being shown, this started after refreshing Firefox. I have tried reinstalling and rolling back to previous version without success. Reluctantly I may have to change my browser.

Firefox saves files that I only wanted to open with another application.

I checked the previous solutions in the forum, but they did not work for me. (Windows 11) I changed in system> general > download , applications > the app to open that file type and it works, but besides this Firefox keeps saving the files in the default download folder.

I tried also about:config browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to false. browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir change to true No change - still saving copies.

Hi!

I want to customize controls like explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-extension-shortcuts-firefox

How do I bind mouse wheel up/down? Or ctrl + mouse drag left for example?

Double Fs, "ff", do not show up on my Firefox browser. More specifically, on Greenhouse job applications. I believe I have seen it in other instances on Firefox, but most notably on Greenhouse. Google seems to be fine. This website seems to be fine. I visited the same Greenhouse link on Chrome, and the "ff"s appeared. How do I fix this?

I have a sandbox iframe which is hosted by various websites. Lets assume that this iframe is loaded like this: <script src="https://example.com/wie.js"></script> I have already added 'allow-scripts allow-forms allow-modals allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-storage-access-by-user-activation' at sandbox. I also use document.requestStorageAccess() from inside the iframe and I set event listeners for the storage like this:

window.addEventListener('storage', onStorageFunc, false);. From the iframe a popup window is presented when user clicks a specific button and the popup opens at lets say at this url "https://paypal.com". After user navigation on popup, paypal at the end of the flow redirects user to this url "https://example.com/success". At this point when user is navigated to /success I add some data to local storage which I expect to trigger the storage event listener and the onStorageFunc to run. This doesn't happen, while in other browsers it works as expected.

Since both popup and iframe are under the same url (https://example.com) and I have used requestStorageAccess, I would expect this to work normally. Can you please help me to find out what is going wrong here? In the past I had the same problem but it was fixed when I added 'requestStorageAccess' and 'allow-storage-access-by-user-activation'. Now I can see it happening again.

I am on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS and really dislike when Firefox updates and I am in the middle of some work and I get this "Firefox has upgraded in the background and needs to restart".

I enjoy my privacy, so I start my browser with the "Delete cookies and site data when firefox closes" and "Always use private mode" set. This means when the browser restarts, everything is gone.

Why can't this be disabled? My laptop checks updates every day and I install them. Why can't I get a notification that an update is available so I can download and install at my choosing?

I use Linux Mint currently, I will be installing new linux OS, how to be sure all my firefox passwords and bookmarks come with me to new operating system? I think I know what I'm doing, and yet...I though I should check with another person to be sure I don't make a mistake and lose it all. so, I am backing up all relevant personal files on a separate drive, rather than take a full restore-able back-up snapshot of the current PC.

I want to be sure, do i need save any firefox-related files before installing new OS?

i do have this Firefox account, (which password I cant remember, but my PC does haha) and also on a tablet. Is sync enough to not lose it all? and is the password saved in Firefox on my tablet in "//accounts.firefox.com" also enough to not lose it all?

I know this is not the right category but I don't see such a category.

When trying to login with Firefox account to this very website, I need to enter email, password and token on 3 separate screens none of which supports auto-filling by the bitwarden plugin. This is highly annoying. Can you please make login process more password manager friendly for the sake of making user's life easier and more secure (copying password to clipboard is not particularly secure).

Thank you.

Firefox always uses excessive GPU memory when I watch video and livestream. about:memory shows that the explict GPU memory allocation is only about 200 MB but in the task manager the GPU memory usage is 1GB, and the latter doesn't decrease even if I close the tab. I suspect that this is a memory leak. I searched for Bugzilla and found a similar issue that has been existing for years: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386177
