Forum zgromaźeństwa Firefox

I'm clearing space on my hard disk. I discover FF has 2 profiles, both with default-release as part of their names. One was last modified today, and one last modified a few months ago. I've not knowingly done anything to create a profile in that period. Why have I got two, and can I delete the older one?

Many thanks

After following a link from a Google search to Facebook, my language on the Facebook login page was permanently changed to Polish. This only applies to this page and the language settings in Firefox are still correct. How do I change back?

I get the following message whenever I try to login on my PNC bank:

To protect your security secure.pnc.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it.

Can't import ".p12" certificate in Firefox in Fedora 40, it fail with the message "unknown error". I can open it with the built-in tools as well with the Gnome certificate manager. I did try as well a different certificate with the same result. Both I can import in Chromium, installed as Flatpak.

I'm having a problem where certain websites does not show up as shortcuts on the startpage. Like for example reddit.com or twitter.com does not appear even though I visit those pages often and more than any other page. It doesn't make sense that a random website shows up immediately as I visit it once, but not the websites I visit often. So I have to type in manually in the search bar to get there instead of just clicking the shortcut on the startpage.

I COULD pin the websites on the startpage, but the pictures only show up as the automated pictures such as "R" or "T" for Reddit and Twitter respectively. I'm also having problems using my own pictures for the shortcuts and I'd rather fix the problem instead of having to pin websites as shortcuts. It also looks a bit ugly in my opinion.

This started happening after I switched Microsoft accounts on my PC and started using Firefox on another user account. By the time I switched, I was logged into the same account on two different users on my PC, and I synchronized several times. That other logged in user is now removed from my Firefox account and I also completely deleted the other user on my PC to free up space. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and deleted all the files on my PC, but it still doesn't work. I have checked in about:profiles and it says there is a "default-release" and "default" profile.

I've just started using Firefox, and a few things have caught my eye. Is there a way to disable this? I don't want to see it every time I go full screen. It wasn't very noticeable in my previous browser because it was small and dark-colored.

I've noted that latest version Firefox browser 128.0 64 bit does allow me to watch any NESN games baseball, football, basketball etc. Even private mode doesn't work. So something really got messed up big time. I have no problem whatsoever when I use the Microsoft Edge browser.

Every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling settings on its own.

Specifically 2 settings on the general tab keep enabling themselves in the "browsing" section, "Recommend extensions as you browse" and "Recommend features as you browse"

I have disabled these settings dozens of times now, and every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling these 2 settings on its own.

Just now I updated to v128.0 and these 2 settings turned themselves on again.

Why is Firefox not respecting my settings? Why is Firefox allowed to modify my settings without my permission?

I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox already. I don't use profiles and am not signed into the browser, so no settings are getting carried over that way.

I have had issues where I am trying to open a new page or refresh a page and it stays at the bottom of the page. Example the Firefox help pages where I scroll to bottom click on the next page number, and it goes to that page but stays at bottom. Or if on Hibid and want to look at a listing, look at the listing and then want to go back to the previous page, it opens the listing at the bottom of the page, not the top. Sometimes it will open the new page where ever it wants

Can't sign in to Costco.com after version 128.0 update. Have done all the usual: Disabled blockers, cleared ALL history-based items. Sign-in screen greys out for a fraction of a second then returns to sign-in form with PW and email still there. Tried "forgot password." Got as far as entering emailed verification code then screen goes a darker grey and the spinning wheel stays forever. Can log in with other browsers. Can log in with a different machine. What to do...

Hi,

The Resy.com website has not been working on Firefox/Mac OS for over a month.

I thought it was a Resy issue but they replied:

"I thank you for your patience while team have been investigating this issue. Unfortunately, it would appear that Fire Fox is no longer supporting our platform. We do not have any more information as to why this is happening, but we do recommend using Chrome or Safari."

Is there a fix in the works?

Thanks, Tony

I don't want my search queries to be saved in the firefox search bar. I usually open a new tab with Ctrl+T, hit Ctrl+K to go to the search bar and hit enter without any keywords. This opens the search engine page (in my case google.com)

Now hitting enter with an empty search bar does nothing. Started happening with the new version 128.

Is there a shortcut alternative to opening the search engine in a new tab?

I posted the other day under "Firefox NO LONGER adheres to "Ask if you want to Save" option.." - HOWEVER - I NOW see what the problem is - BUT I STILL can't fix it:

I have New Lenovo laptop - Windows 11 – AND - Firefox version 128.0 - and EVEN THOUGH I have ALL the items necessary checked under SETTINGS - APPLICATIONS to ALWAYS ASK - NOWHERE in this version of Firefox on my Win 11 laptop does it show ANY of the Microsoft products in the APPLICATIONS field - so I can't change how I want Firefox to respond when accessing Microsoft applications - AT ALL!

SO THAT means - EVERY TIME I click on a .doc or any Microsoft Office program - it automatically opens - and it is saved in a download folder.

You must understand – with what I do - I open AT LEAST 20- 30 docx a day - I DO NOT want to SAVE them - but I have no recourse - AND there is NO WAY to add – (that I know of) - the Microsoft applications to the FIREFOX Applications section under Settings.

AND if you send me to the Help section – to look at: Always Open Similar Files" option – AS YOU CAN SEE by the screengrab – There ARE no similar files for me to do that with - SO I can’t fix it that way either.

ALSO – I have another Laptop – Windows 10 – and of course Firefox latest version – 128.0 - and as you can see with the screengrab – It has options for AT LEAST TWO of the Microsoft Applications – so I don’t have that problem – BUT – to attach a screengrab from my Win 10 laptop application settings in Firefox to this msg – I went to my Win 10 laptop – made a grab – and sent it to myself to open on my Win 11 laptop – which is where I am composing this message and which has the problem – BUT BECAUSE there is ALSO no setting to ASK what to do when you open Picture files – It SAVED to downloads as well – NO OPTION to say that you JUST wanted to open it!

This is maddening and it really doesn’t work for me – and I assume others who may have this problem. Please PLEASE advise what I should do – Is there another build I can download or...?

This only happens with FF.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.foxnews.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)
