I realize Facebook doesn't have a spell check feature,but is there a way my browser, Firefox, which I already have spell check enabled can somehow spell check Facebook when I chat? Can someone help? Thank you.

I get the error message The outgoing mail server (SMTP) smtp.myserver.com does not seem to support encrypted passwords. If you have just set up the account, try changing the 'Authentication method' in 'Account settings | Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' to 'Normal password'.

I have several accounts, all have the setting 'normal password'. The solution is installed on several mobile devices. Via mobile phone (Iphone) my outbox works perfectly. I get the error message on my tablet and PC. I have not changed any settings or anything else. What would be the solution?

Can we set it as a new tab option instead of manually clicking the button?

Currently, there's no way to achieve this with an extension thanks to malware risks preventing any add-ons from targeting the local URL (i.e. 'about::___') as a new tab.

Introducing this page as a new tab option has the potential to significantly enhance the Firefox ecosystem. It will make the transition from phone to desktop seamless, greatly improving multi-devices experiences.

How to save all browsing history. I seem to have lost all past history and now, only the session history is kept until log off? I do not know when my history was deleted it was a few days back but how do I customize my settings to save my history?Thanks for reading

This may be more of a Firefox sync problem, I'm not sure, but either way it is irritating. Every time I open Firefox it has me signed out of all my google accounts no matter how many times I select stay signed in or keep me signed in. I don't have the setting for deleting cookies on and I don't believe anything on my computer is clearing cookies without me knowing, and I personally do not clear cookies often if ever. If anybody knows what could be causing this any advice/help would be extremely useful and greatly appreciated, thank you.

When I input my backup code, mozilla shows the error "There was a problem confirming your backup authentication code". I tried inputting just one of the codes and all the codes. I'm not sure what to do.

As the subject says, when i middle mouse click on a link to open it in a new tab in a folder on the bookmark bar, the folder closes, which is annoyign when i want to opne multiple pages. How do i prevent this folder closing?

Also the "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check mark doesnt seem to work when it comes to the adresse bar. Firefox will switch to any page i middle mouse click in my bookmark bar with this setting UNCHECKED. I fixed this wrong behavior by setting this option "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground" to TRUE in the "about:config" settings page.

I also want to add that this problem is recent. I've been using firefox for a few years and only since one of the recent updates (dont know which one) has this problem occured. I assume it's a bug since such inconsistent "setting options to actual ui behavior" is laughable.

Hi. I'm an admin using web based school class scheduling software. I have to go into student and instructor records frequently where their personal info is displayed in the form of filled in fields on a web page. Every time I exit a student/instructor contact page, firefox asks me if I want to save their addresses. Obviously I don't want to do this with other peoples info, but I'd still like to autofill addresses for my own private browsing. Is there a way I can exclude only the class scheduling website from address autofill/autosave without shutting the function off entirely for all my other browsing? Thanks .

Hello,

I keep trying to use my plug in USB security key on bofa.com (for my Bank of America account log in MFA), but it keeps asking for a challenge phrase. I don't have any idea what this is. Can you help?

The request that pops up says:

'Making Sure It's You'

Please sign into "bankofamerica.com".

This request comes from the app "firefox.exe" by Mozilla Corporation.

Then has a blank line to enter 'Challenge Phrase'

• • I have no idea what this is. I do not recall setting up a "Challenge Phrase" on Windows or Firefox browser. Can you help me with this PLEASE?! I don't know what else to do!

I have tried several times to remove the security completely and re-add to the bofa.com website, I have tried to reset the security key itself back to factory.

Hello, Please see the screen shot. The site - https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ opens without any difficulty.

To this I need to go my account to open- https://account.oup.com/myProfile/learningMaterial Unable to open this site. Not even in other browsers. Tried deleting cookies etc. No help

When I'm looking at a webpage, if there is a lot of dark pixels, the menu dims to a dull gray, and if it's mostly white it brightens to white.

This is EXTREMELY DISTRACTING and I want to turn it off. But I can't find a setting to disable this useless and annoying "feature".

How do I turn this off? Seems to be a new addition.

Is there anyway to configure network.http.rcwn.enabled to false via the policy located in the ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution'' folder?

If this is supposed to happen by default. If so. I don't understand why. To me, this is backwards. Can someone please explain the logic to me?

When I reopen my browser, the tabs to the right of what was the active tabs is chosen. Same thing when I close a tab, the tab to the right opens instead of going left.

There has to be a way to reverse these behaviors I assume are related.

Hi, Is it possible to make Firefox resize the information when I resize the Firefox window? Often when I resize, I can't see all of the content and have to slide the scroll bar to see the entire page. Is there a way to make it automatically adjust the information to fit the window?

thanks

Greetings...

In the Settings > Privacy & Security > History > Clear browsing data and cookies > Automatically clear all checked items when Firefox closes, I have the "Temporary cached files and pages" selected to be automatically cleared when I close Firefox.

Unfortunately, this does not appear to be working, in that when I reopen Firefox and immediately check the Cookies and Site Data or the History sections, the Temporary cached files contains the same MB of files that appeared before I closed Firefox.

Any idea why this setting appears not to be working as described and expected? Please advise. Thank you very much for your assistance. Take care...

Ever since updates in 2024 and late 2023, my view on Firefox websites has changed so the right side of pages is cut off. I am forced to use Google Chrome when I really want to use Firefox. I am not technically savvy to figure this out. If I change the Zoom, it also changes the font size. All I want is the previous view settings where my whole website page fits on my screen and I can read the text.
