Firefox Community Forum

Videos from S3 buckets directly downloading from firefox browser instead of open in browser itself. Is there any changes to be done in AWS account or it is an issue with new release?

Hi,

on X11 it does not seem to be possible to copy gifs from firefox.

When copying a gif the "TARGETS" conversion only gives the following atoms:

   TIMESTAMP
   TARGETS
   MULTIPLE
   SAVE_TARGETS
   text/html
   text/_moz_htmlinfo
   text/_moz_htmlcontext
   image/png
   image/bmp
   image/x-bmp
   image/x-MS-bmp
   image/x-icon
   image/x-ico
   image/x-win-bitmap
   image/vnd.microsoft.icon
   application/ico
   image/ico
   image/icon
   text/ico
   image/jpeg
   image/tiff
   image/avif
   image/jxl

When trying to convert to "image/gif" the conversion fails. (I am requesting conversion from the CLIPBOARD atom)

I have the usual ads appearing in gmail, but when I click on them they do not appear. I have checked that Javascript is enabled, and the default cookies are active.

I've chosen Tips and tricks, hopefully it means this will be an article/explanation instead of a question. I had the opposite problem to PDF files should not download, only open in browser and was happy to find out in the OP attachment that the action for each file-types could be changed. I didn't want my bandwidth strain of having to download PDF twice anymore (especially ones with many images).

I was going to leave the following on a comment of the other thread but it was locked.

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

bold textdownloading only produces " .part " files in my downloads directory. I had previously attempted a large file download but error message said it was not completed. Now cannot download anything

Hi This is the 3rd time I am making this inquiry. I have firefox across multiple macbooks, ipads and iphones. The sync feature is unable to sync/save password across devices. If I save a PW on one device, even if I force all the devices Firefox to force sync, nothing shows up on the other devices. Please advise...

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
