Forum zgromaźeństwa Firefox

I often run into issues with PDFs in Firefox Linux. They either appear totally blank (typically after suspend/restore), or they appear with the desktop background showing through (as in the attached screenshot).

Hard refreshing the page doesn't change anything, opening a new tab and opening the PDF again doesn't change anything, opening a new window and loading the PDF doesn't change anything.

The screenshot is with this PDF: https://www.sgsw.ch/home/strom/_jcr_content/Par/sgsw_accordion_list_1838160259/AccordionListPar/sgsw_accordion_12353/AccordionPar/sgsw_downloadlist/DownloadListPar/sgsw_download_1049323524.ocFile/2023-08-31%20Mitteilung%20Elcom%20Erh%C3%B6hung%20Elektrizit%C3%A4tspreise%20f%C3%BCr%20das%20Jahr%202024.pdf

It renders correctly in Chromium.

Firefox 126.0 using the recommended performance settings on Mint 21.3, nvidia quadro p620 using the official nvidia drivers v535.171.04-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

I have been a devoted Firefox users for many years. Just in the past week or so I have started having multiple tabs crash daily and now am getting 1 or 2 blue screens a day. I run on Windows 11 Pro. What can I do to help this issue?

I don't think you can help at this point. I followed the prompt to update Firefox and got the message that the platform version '128.0' is not compatible with min version>=128.0 or max version<=128.0. After following the instructions to uninstall then re-install Firefox, and even with the aid of a tech, I now have lost 90% of my bookmarks. Disappointed and not happy with Firefox at this point. I guess it's a done deal now and I just start over. Fortunately, I didn't have super important things bookmarked.

i change to firefox from chrome as chromes caused everything to hang. now my facebook games are saying that firefoxdoes not support the games. ie the browser you are using does not support this platform. i have search resolutions and tried them all and dont know what to do. do i have to go back to chrome?

Help! Since the last upgrade I can't log in to several of my sites- the sign-in page refuses to load (e.g. https://ottawacitizen.com/) and several site Captchas refuse to accept any answer. In all cases, Safari has no problem when I switch to it (I hate their interface compared to Firefox). I'm on macOS 12.6.6 desktop.

Dont know how it happen but "https://ww25.waterdropswiter.xyz" has taken over comes up everywhere when tying in web adress and has give it self free access to everything

I reinstalled my windows and signed in to my new firefox and it is not syncing anything. On my phone though all the bookmars and stuff is saved. (Yes I am signed in) I tried using waterfox as well but it didnt work either.

For about 2 weeks now my Firefox Desktop v. 128.0.3 (Mozilla-Flatpak - 1.0) freezes within 30 mins of use.

No good waiting, nothing responds except the exit button.

Clearly, there's a flaw in a recent update.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and my Firefox is from Flatpak.

While writing this I got a Flatpak update for Firefox and Firefox.Locale - whatever that is.

So I'll park my question till I close and reopen Firefox - hopefully with a release from the big freeze-up.

Please help an old dummie? I have an existing FF install on a laptop. I would like to clone it (with bookmarks, settings tiles etc) onto a new PC. An article I read said open FF on the PC you want to sync. This is confusing! "Synchronising" is ambiguous, meaning 2-way. (but which way) "copy from" & "copy to" would be clear. I am worried I will synch(copy) from the new to the old....... effectively deleting/wiping out all my preferences in my original install. OR (preferably) Is there a way to just copy the whole installation from my original PC onto a USB stick & installing FF to the new PC from it? Many Thanks

Hello All,

I am trying to enforce policies on latest firefox-esr installed through .DEB method as detailed in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux and I can launch the firefox from terminal as : > firefox-esr - Also I have removed the snap version of firefox that comes bundled with Ubuntu 22.04 x86_64 distribution.

Questions that I have are :

1. Policy Enforcement I am trying to enforce policies on firefox-esr as per the article https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/ and have a rather simple policies.json file stored in the folder /etc/firefox-esr/policies/ - The policies.json file is : {

 "policies":{
   "PasswordManagerEnabled": false
 }

}

However when I check the settings, the password manager is still enabled. - What is the correct path where the policies.json file stored in Ubuntu Linux distributions where firefox-esr package is installed through "Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions" and for all users ... meaning apply globally ?

2. When I removed the snap version of firefox, this also removed the icon from the quick-launch side bar / Dock Menu of Ubuntu - How do I the firefox-esr application to Ubuntu dock through command line for all users ?
