Got a bit of an issue. There seems to be a change to functionality of Mozilla's Firefox browser and its affected one of my extensions; Lastpass.

Previously, clicking the jigsaw icon for extensions would show extensions such as Lastpass. If I click this now, it takes me to the extensions page for managing extensions.

I had previously had lastpass installed. But it seemed to disappear without me uninstalling it. This isn't the first time where there has been an update to Firefox and the plugin extensions has been broken so I downloaded the Lastpass extension and installed it again. It now appears in my extensions page. However, there doesnt appear to be any way for me to access it. Log into to it. Nor do websites get the autofill I would expect from Lastpass. So I have no access to its functionality.

I cant seem to find a way to get around this.

I feel that the extension icon (jigsaw icon) has now had its navigation changed during an update where it no longer points to where it should when you click it.

To access Lastpass, I can log in through the Lastpass website but this fiddly and time consuming. Can anyone suggest how I can get The Lastpass icon to appear in the top right of the window or to get it as an option that would drop down where I would normally expect it; by clicking the extension icon in the top right?

Clicking it is currently taking me to the "Personalise Your Firefox" page in the main browser window.

Thanks

So, it happened again today. Saw their commercial on TV today and went to legacybox.com (NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE; they transfer VHS tapes, and other stuff, to digital) and got an email from them after closing the browser tab and leaving their website. While I didn't open the email, their email Subject/title was "Thanks for stopping by...".

All I did was look around their website for a few minutes AND DID NOT GIVE THEM MY EMAIL ADDRESS!

This is EXTREMELY DISTURBING!

PLEASE, If anyone here has the Video DownloadHelper extension installed in Firefox AND their Companion App (it costs ~$28, I think.. so don't bother if you don't have it). And make sure you've updated to a recent version, WHERE THEY HAVE YOUR EMAIL/Licens# IN THE SETTINGS (L click on the VDH icon, click on the gear icon, and at the bottom of the menu, click on "More settings....". If your email is there, PLEASE GO TO Legacybox.com AND SEE IF THIS SITE SENDS YOU AN EMAIL as this may help to confirm if Firefox is leaking emails thru that app. Thanks!

Hello. I should use proxy to visit some websites. I do not want open Preferences each time. Also I need list to exclude website which should be without proxy anyway.

How to do this?

Somehow handwriting stopped working with Firefox on my Surface 9... I don't know what is the issue, because with Edge and Chrome it still functions. Only Firefox I have to use the keyboard again, which is very annoying...

Firefox is set to the English (UK) language on my Windows 10 PC but I occasionally see Spanish words shown after the English word. Eg. BBC News provides trusted World and UK noticias news as well as local and regional … The word (in this case "noticias" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. Here's another example "BBC Business brings you the latest in Business news and cobertura from … Again word (in this case "cobertura" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. I've tried all the settings that I can find in Firefox and everything is set to UK English.

Windows 11, Firefox 129.02

I've done both a refresh and a clean install and the problem persists. Fonts set to "allow site to substitute"

In Google Maps (maps.google.com), the street names and route numbers (graphic) disappear after a second. This happens in both regular and incognito windows, and regardless of zoom level.

Oddly, when I set privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config to True, the street names appear, but route numbers are just color boxes. When set to False, I can see both for a second before they disappear.

Starting just yesterday, and I have no clue what caused this to happen in the first place, my entire firefox browser, so tabs, toolbar, everything, is no longer functioning properly with the windows scale display settings I have anymore. For example, I have 2 monitors, one is a 1920x1080 monitor with 100% scaling applied, and the other one (my main monitor) is a 2560x1440 monitor with 125% scaling applied. I have the scaling settings applied like this because the normal resolution for 2k monitors is too small for me to read anything, so scaling it up by 125% makes the browser about identical on both monitors. It used to automatically scale the firefox browser to the monitor whenever I dragged them to the other monitor, but now the firefox just stays at 125% zoom no matter what monitor I swap it to (this is windows scaling zoom, not firefox tab zoom). So on my 2k monitor, it looks fine, but on my 1920x1080 monitor, it still retains the 125% zoom from my other monitor, making it way over zoomed. I've tried changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx but that just makes the browser scaling static across monitors, so I've since swapped it back to -1.0

Is there any way I can fix this? the difference in scaling between the monitors is way too massive to be able to use firefox comfortably. Attached I have two screenshots showing the difference in scaling.

En mi PC anterior tenía activa la sincronización de marcadores, la PC anterior fue robada, ahora al iniciar de nuevo con mi cuenta en Firefox, mis marcadores no se sincronizaron y perdí una gran cantidad de información recopilada en durante este año, algunos cursos que tomé y muchas referencias de accesos a sitios web.

Que se puede hacer para recuperar esta información?

I am using the latest release of FIREFOX (in French), with Windows 10, regularly updated.

FIREFOX worked fine when I turned off my desktop on august 10. The next morning, Firefox could not connect to ANY website. I get a message telling me that "the secure connection has failed": PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR (see screenshot).

EDGE and CHROME work fine but cannot update to the latest version [Error OX 80072EFE] (see screenshot) THUNDERBIRD works fine.

I tried all sorts of solutions found on reliable websites. None of them worked. - Turning the router OFF then ON - Using Firefox "self-repair" mode - Uninstalling Firefox, then reinstalling a new, "clean" version - Checking the system clock (it is fine) - Turning OFF Microsoft Windows Defender - Turning OFF Kaspersky Anti Virus - Reinstalling Kaspersky's certificate in Firefox - Checking Firefox certificates in Windows' firewall

Can anyone please find a solution? I share Mozilla's philosophy and would hate to say goodbye to Firefox, but…

When I log in as admin to my wordpress website, firefox gets stuck in an endless reload loop.

Sometimes if I clear the browser history or open a private window, I can successfully log in and load a page - once. The page seems to load normally but there are 409 errors shown for many of the files in the developer tools.

If I reload the page again, it goes back to the endless loop.

This started when I installed a wordpress caching plugin, but the problem is specific to firefox, so I don't really know whether firefox or the plugin is actually responsible.

How could firefox be getting 409 errors when other browsers get normal 200 responses for the same resources?

Why is firefox triggering this reload loop, and is there a way I can stop it?

I've been researching for a long time how it’s possible to save a website as a PDF with Firefox by keeping the hyperlinks active. The applications that Firefox offers are inadequate. This means that if I want to save pages on different sites outside of the web search, they are not saved correctly as PDFs. There are applications that also keep hyperlinks active, but with the problem that the scaling of a page no longer corresponds to what it actually has. Alternatively, reference is often made to other browsers such as Chrome or Opera. I know it's running there as it should be, but I want to keep using Firefox. When I search on YouTube I only find trivial things like how to save a PDF in general. I already know how to save PDFs in general, but it is explicitly possible that hyperlinks also remain active which seems like nobody is interested in. This is a major problem. I just don't understand why something as trivial as an A4 sized page of hyperlinks requires 7+ hours of fruitless research? It seems like I'm someone who's only interested in simply having an HTML to PDF with active hyperlinks. Do any of you have experience with this situation? I would like to mention that I also tried wkhtmltopdf. But the conversion with this tool is cumbersome and is no longer necessary for “just a quick save”. My question: How is it possible?

I have a new desktop. I checked the box in Settings to "Always ask you where to save files." However, it's still dumping files in Downloads without asking.

Why, and how do we correct that?

I do not understand why AFTER I used Firefox Delete History that my Charter.net email can no longer be accessed.' I have had Spectrum technicians over here, it is not in their wiring, or outside lines. They cannot go further. I attempt to log into Spectrum & this message comes up - A RED !,followed by This feature is currently unavailable. Please try again from HOME or contact us for assistance. IDID-4000'

I AM AT HOME! I worked/talked with 4 different Charter/Spectrum people on the phone over a 3 day period. briefly I was able to get into the Charter account (Necessary because my VA & other medical appointments/communications are via charter.net) using Microsoft Edge. I no longer can. I am getting that message on Edge as well. I do not want to use Edge or Chrome, I want to use my Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird But that is another issue which I cannot get resolved. My monthly contributions to both get through but I cannot even get into Thunderbird for Months & can't get help. At 83, I am computer challenged. Nobody wants to make house calls. What is wrong? What can I do? What do you suggest? Kat Hall

When I go to History and then Clear Recent History with History and Temporary File checked and the hit Clear nothing happens.

I found that I can delete the histories one by one with the Delete key.

is there any way to make tab movement smooth similar to chrome and edge? because mine stutters when i move/re-arrange tabs.

here's what i've tried to fix the issue: -ui.prefersReducedMotion (setting the value either 0 or 1 don't fix the issue) -enabling/disabling windows animation (still stutters) -tried in troubleshooting mode (still stutters) -tried creating new profile (still stutters)

device specs: -windows 11 -ryzen 5 5500u with radeon graphics 16gb ram(dual channel) -512gb ssd

I am trying to change the setting for default apps and it is grayed out (can't change it). This is the only app that I can't change and I want to know why. Redmi note 8 pro, android 11. (Sorry if this is not the right place or it has been asked before, it is my first time needing support)
