Firefox Community Forum

I am visiting mymother who likes to eat in a local supermarket where they have a cafe. I paid for our meal using cash and I did not use the in store wifi and did not interact with any in store services.

I get back to my mothers apartment and open firefox to do some browsing, the first thing I see is a sponsored ad for the supermarket I have just been in.

So two questions, I understand that my phone number can become visible if I interact with a local service. But no interaction took place but they still worked out who I am and where I was. How was this done?

Secondly some financial interaction has presumably taken place between firefox and whoever controls the advertising for the supermarket. So they put out some kind of call to say "this guy has just been in our supermarket and we want to hit him with some linked content" and firefox have put up there hand and said "yep we got him right here, you pay us x and we will stick a link on his opening page"

So how does that work with firefox? so they say thay are a privacy web brower but they appear to have just sold me off to a supermarket?

‘I had Firefox years ago with a now defunct email address. I reinstalled the app using my current address but it continually asks for my OLD password (which is lost). How can I get rid of the password request’ for ‘Firefox’

My company IT security service is blocking jid1-MnnxcxisBPnSXQ@jetpack.xpi from running, which is located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4krcmzjv.default-release\extensions.

What does this file do?

other menus like the pop-up bookmark list menu is fine. i only have this problem with the download menu and the bookmarking menu. i only remember this happening after i started to tweak and customize my windows 11 os, so maybe something in that process happened to break the text now but i have no idea where to look. i have cleared the startup cache, refreshed firefox and even uninstall/reinstalled it completely fresh (this is also what made me believe this is an os problem).

Shadow at the bottom of the video appears squished vertically so I can't see the popular moments graph above the time bar if video itself is way too bright. Cromium based browser (Brave) on the left image, and basically fresh firefox

When this happens, I can only view the one tab, all others are selected, but I cannot then go to that tab to view. I'm not sure I'm explaining this well.

Also, I cannot close the tabs with the X but must right click for drop-down menu to close.

I can open new tabs, but that tab is becomes the anchoring selected tab, any other tab I try to go to then becomes selected, as well as every tab in between, none of which I can actually view, they are stuck.

I have tried "select all" in hopes of then de-selecting, but deselecting is not an option.

This is really holding me up as I have work to do and cannot view the necessary tab. I'm extremely frustrated.

LOL, as randomly as it starts, it stops...I wanted to take a screen shot, but no, everything is fine now.

I have some websites that don't work properly. For example: when I try to sign into Citrix to read a secure message, it won't open the page to do that. When I try to access client information via my Humana broker login, it won't open that. I can accomplish these things in IE explorer, so what is going on with Firefox? I can't figure it out.

There is one website that I have used many times over the last 15+ years to purchase items. Now when I go to that website, all I get is a 'blank white screen'. I want to access that site again. Thanks

I have bought a new laptop and want to install Firefox. I have attempted to duplicate the version on my first laptop, with the intention of scrapping it, this would already have been duplicated all my details on the new laptop. Clearly I am simple creating a big mess. Please could someone put me straight? Brian

Websites I access via Firefox constantly tell me I'm using a new device and each time I have to go through a time consuming verification process involving entering codes. I always check the box that says "don't ask to verify again" for this device, but that doesn't stop the every time I access a website verification process. I prefer Firefox to Safari.

There is one website that doesn't work well with Firefox so I use Safari only for it. Apple Care was able to walk me through a process to stop that website from not recognizing I'm using the same Apple computer I've used for 5 years and will continue to use for a few more years because it's a 256 gigabyte solid state drive with no "moving parts" that will last longer than if it was a regular desktop. But they can't help me solve the problem with Firefox which is not their product and recommended I contact Mozilla Firefox technical support for help.

I dont get the technical stuff, but I have this error and its very annoying, detailed well in this reddit thread:

I subscribe to The Times (UK) and use many of their different portals. I am, however, experiencing a really odd problem. For the last three Mondays in a row when I hover over a link it shows one destination which is now three weeks out of date and downloads same when clicked. When I Inspect(Q) the relevant bit of script it shows the correct page for the current week. All other links from the current edition work as expected. The link works correctly on other days of the week. The IT support at The Times have no idea why this is happening and have simply asked me to do stupid things like clearing all cache and cookies relevant to their site. this has no effect whatsoever!

How can this happen and have you any help on the subject?

PLEASE MOVE THE SEARCH BACK TO WHERE IT BELONGS AND NOT IN THE TOP URL BAR. IT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS FOR INSTRUCTORS, IT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS FOR STUDENTS. IT IS A PAIN FOR SENIOR CITIZEN WHO HAVE VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS... IT TOTALL SUCK! YES, I AM SHOUTING!

THE NEXT SUGGESTION IS TO MOVE TO EDGE. THAT IS COMING SOON I AM JUST SICK AND TIRE OF ATTEMPTING TO USE A SECOND RATE BROWSER.

When I pressed the "+" symbol at the right side of my tabs with the left mouse button, a new tab opens at the most right place. So far, so easy.

When I pressed the same "+" symbol using the middle mouse button, the new tab opened right beside the active tab. Now, middle mouse button and left mouse button do the same thing.

Work around could be to open the context menu (right mouse button) of a tab, choose "new tab" an get a new tab right beside the tab chosen with the mouse pointer while pressing the right mouse button.

Did something recently change?

Any word on floating videos ? Have been asking for several years. Any progress on that front yet ? They're making a comeback and are as annoying as ever. Have been through all Settings tweaks etc -- nothing has ever worked. One of the most annoying user problems in the world and almost nothing has been done that I can see. Others trying to Sucker me into Chrome or Edge, which they claim are perfect and totally privacy oriented.
