Firefox Community Forum

Tell me how to fix the problem I described. I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon (21.3) on my two Dell Latitude laptops (E6420 & E6430) Another question regarding the Firefox browser is how to contact a insecure web site manager that I have no telephone number for. I shouldn't end the sentence that way.

FF constantly develops problems logging into web pages; I will enter the correct u/n and password and click the login button, and it simply won't log in, it just refreshes the page and asks for my log in again. The same u/n and password work fine in other browsers. And nothing I've done has fixed it--uninstalling all my extensions, refreshing Firefox completely, clearing all cache data--nothing works.

FF also will develop problems with the lastpass plugin, where I also can't log into my vault via the plugin--the same thing happens. It will just refresh the log-in fields without logging in. I can only fix that one if I go to the Lastpass website and log in there--then suddenly the plugin works, until I log out of LP again.

Frankly, the problems with FF only seem to grow over time. I love the privacy focus and it being a Mozilla product. I hate how everything in it constantly breaks functionality.

Hi!

I have used Gmail in Firefox for years with no problem. But now I am unable to open links in Gmail. A new tab opens, but it is blank. The URL is something like this:

Also, the Google App Launcher and my Google Account Icon are not working either. I wonder if this is an issue with my desktop, which is 5 years old now. That's not too old, but sometimes the cursor freezes for a few seconds, which is annoying.

I have cleared my cache and restarted the desktop, but that didn't help. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Best, Naomi

I was wondering if it would be possible to make an extension or something that can change about:config values and provide an easy accessible menu to change specific settings that I need regularly.

For example, recently I am quite often setting network.http.redirection-limit to 0 because website keep redirecting me to login pages and that often helps preventing it. But having that set permanently is really annoying, so I have to visit about:config twice each time. Now if I could pin that setting in an easily accessible menu somewhere, that would be very neat.

When searching, I found that extensions could modify some browser settings but that seems to not include arbitrary about:config values.

Any tips and thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello, My Firefox would not open today.Gave XLU version error. I put a clean install as suggested by support. I think I got my bookmarks back. But my passwords are gone. This is a real drag!

My COPY context menu item is greyed out randomly. I guess it's not an issue of websites preventing copying. Happens while visiting various websites.

There's an advice to refresh Firefox, but I want to keep my passwords and avoid setting bookmarks again or resetting UI items displacement, any advice? Bugzilla threads contain some fixes, but as I have up-to-date version of Firefox, the bug is still randomly present.

FF 129.0.1, on 64-bit Windows 10

while troubleshooting why a child page (which has links, text boxes) acts like it is displaying an image, not a working web page, I opened Settings, and at the top of the first page found the image (via Screenshot) attached -- "Your browser is being managed by your organization". thing is, this is a personal laptop which has never been part of an organization. is it referring to FF, since the program was in 'Troubleshoot Mode' at the time?

Regarding the parent page/child page issue, suggestions are welcome (solutions even more so ;-) )

TIA, Rrtid54

Hi folks I can't login to my Corel.com account on Firefox but I can with Chrome. Can anyone figure out how I can overcome this with Firefox?

I find myself unable to send the material on my google docs after declining to pay Vimeo their requested payment. Seems I cannot send anything successfully without this Vimeo in operation. Can you advise or fix the problem?

Hello, Firefox is my browser of choice for privacy and accessibility reasons. However, the speech recognition software I have been provided (Dragon professional 16) requires an extension to be installed that Firefox does not allow.

I was given the following information by Nuance, the company who manufacture the software: "The Dragon Professional web extension for Firefox is not anymore supported in Dragon 16 as Mozilla has blocked this web extension quoting a violation of their toughened security guidelines and requirements for such browser extensions on 10.06.2023 with the release of Firefox v105.

The reinstallation of the respective XPI file does not resolve the issue, especially because there is - and likely will be for the time being - no new adaptation of the web extension available.

However, our web extension should work fine if you decide to opt out of blocking extensions that have been listed as potentially dangerous by Mozilla. On your own risk you can prevent Firefox from carrying out the blocklist by changing the appropriate setting in the browser's configuration ("about:config") but Nuance does not recommend this. Further information is available from Mozilla."

If anyone can help with this, as I need the software for accessibility reasons and I don't want to be forced onto another browser because of it.

I can click on location (currently Kingfisher, OK) and then in the menu my location comes up (Mansfield, MO)but when I open a new tab Kingfisher is still there. I have done this many times, still reverts to Kingfisher

Walmart.com now uses a Press & Hold link to log in. I cannot use it in Firefox 129.0.1. I have to use Chrome. Thge link is supposed to change, when you click on it, but it doesn't change in Firefox. I was using a VPN, but even when I turn it off, it still doesn't work.
