Firefox Community Forum

I'm running on a Mac with current OS and default settings for Firefox. However, many websites -- and here I'm talking standard corporate stuff in US English -- are substituting a y with an umlaut for "fi". It's not happening in for all, but it's happening a lot.

Please see attached. No matter how many times I correctly typed "Office", it rendered as pictured. I also see this with downloaded HTML, i.e. not just me entering it, just the simple rendering of a webpage.

Any thoughts on what might be the issue are much appreciated.

I am very unhappy after 2 weeks using the current version of Firefox 109.0.1.8427 on Win 10. Most of my prior add-ons are gone or do not work, even though Firefox shows them as installed.

I can't live with this version; most of my prior add-ons are not accessible (no symbols to click on even though Firefox says they are installed). The others are missing or require me to access the application menu plus several more clicks, instead of single-clicking an icon on the Firefox header.

How can I get back to the prior version (without having to determine and save/restore everything else that changed in my Win 10 sysres since the current Firefox was installed)?

Hi, I have setted the option to clean search and downloads history when I close firefox (I didn't set the option to clean cache), but it also cleans the cached icons in homepage, so when I open the browser all icons appear blank, till firefox manages to download all of them.

Any solution? I think this is a bug, but maybe someone has a workaround, I tried to use localy downloaded icons but it's forbidden.

First. I was unable to view the daily broadcast @democracynow.org

Next, I have been unable to login to multiple sites including, Lowes.com, samsclub.com, my synchrony.com/home

I have tried logging in with and without my Torguard vpn service, with all extensions disabled and enabled, logging in with the VPN active has been pretty common with bank sites especially, but until now, turning off the VPN restored access.

And what really pisses me off is that they all work with edge which i do not like to use and now I'm forced to.

Please let me know why this happening and how to fix it.

When typing in a URL (for example www.google.com) and pressing enter, Firefox automatically sends me to a specific page on the website that I've visited before (for example, www.google.com/search/12345). I am making sure that it is not auto-filling a suggested URL before hitting enter, it is just the basic URL. I tried deleting cookies for that website and clearing the Firefox suggestions using the arrow keys and shift + Delete and it is still automatically sending me to a different page on that website. I also tried the same thing in an incognito browser and it does the same. If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated. It's not a big hassle but I just want to figure it out more than anything.

I love the containers and have been using it for a long time already, but one thing that I couldn't find a solution is to have two URL's within the same domain to "always open" in different containers.

I do have other examples, but the basic ones is github and azure devops.

I have my own place and my company one, they have the same domain but different logins (GitHub not quite, but it has a second authentication on top of it for the enterprise one), basically it happens like that:

Company: https://dev.azure.com/CompanyName Persona: https://dev.azure.com/Mine

When I set to always open in a container for each of them, both goes to the same container, which is annoying because I have a different login for each of them, for GitHub is kinda similar, I do use my personal github account for my companies one as well, but for my companies organization there is AAD integration and so I need to have it authentication with the AAD on top of my regular login, and "my companies container" is the only one already authenticated there.

When browsing in some websites such as "facebook.com", "mozilla.org", "lenovo.com", I sometimes get a popup to this link, but I don't have any kind of extension that could be causing that I think. What would be a way to troubleshoot this so that I can prevent that from happening? It's really annoying and the site also seems really sketchy.

Hello, Not sure exactly where the problem lies with this one. We have a local UrBackup server running, exposing its http-only web interface on http://hostname.local.domain:55414.

I can no longer browse to this address, Firefox responds with

Secure connection failed and the error code SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Looking at the GET request, the scheme is set to https and there is only one request, no redirect.

I can however access the site fine by IP, http://192.168.x.x:55414, AND, by using hostname only, http://hostname:55414, letting Windows fill in our DNS suffix as the network is in an Active Directory domain.

I also have a local Apache server running on my machine, only listening on http on standard port 80. Accessing http://localhost is fine, accessing http://myhostname is fine, but accessing http://myhostname.local.domain again causes FF to switch to an https-request.

What makes me confused is that this behaviour is consistent across browsers, Edge, Chrome, Android on my mobile...

Using Bitdefender for AV/FW, disabling it makes no change.

Tried downloading an older version of Firefox (89) and it does NOT show the same behaviour, URLs load as plain http.

Finally, I tried to add test.subdomain.com as a zone in our DNS and add an A record for the IP of the UrBackup-server, and voila, Firefox requests that site as http without complaining!?

Has the global browser market collectively decided that non TLD:s can no longer be accessed using http, or am I overlooking something obvious?

Best regards Alexander

EDIT: I originally included "false HSTS-requests" in the subject, before realizing that this came from FF redirecting to 443 on my local machine, which has a docker instance listening on that port but using a cert for our public domain, not our local one.

Goog morning,

                        I would like to point out the following issue. I have with Firefox 109.0.1 on Linux Kubuntu 22.04 a display problem on the page

https://www.lmfdb.org/NumberField/2.0.4.1

Right at the bottom is some "LaTeX code" text which is displayed in two different ways:

1) If I leave the default settings for the colors it is "p ≢3 (mod 4)"

2) If, as in my case, I set the background color as gray (to have less brightness "shot" on the eyes) and I tell Firefox to use the personal settings "always" instead it is "p ≡ 3 (mod 4) "

Note that, selecting the LaTeX text and copying it somewhere else, I get $p\not\equiv 3\pmod 4$, so the "negation bar" is actually present: I don't understand the reason of this behavior and how to manage it.

Thank you in advance, best regards.

Hello,

My Apple ID got compromised - someone logged in to my Apple online store account, placed an order with the credit card associated with the account, and actually picked up the order in an Apple store.

An Apple remote adviser has spent a considerable amount of time with me over the phone trying to identify how my Apple account was possibly compromised. Going through the Apps and browser add-ons on my computer (MacOS Ventura) , he concluded that likely, my Apple password was stolen through the Awesome Screenshot Firefox browser add-on.

I would like to ask your opinion whether you think it is possible that this would be the case.

Further info

• I haven't actually used the given add-on for long time
• I have an active ESET firewall on my computer. After the incident, I ran a full scan, and the firewall didn't find anything.

Starting this week, I can do only one search for a movie title on Metacritic.com. I get a 403 error from any attempt to do a subsequent search. I can get one more successful search if I first delete my Metacritic cookies from Firefox. But the problem repeats after any successful search.

Repeated searches work fine if I access Metacritic via Chrome. In case it matters, I'm running both browsers under Windows 10 on a desktop.

Can I tell Firefox not to accept cookies from Metacritic? Other ideas?

Hi there -

I just downloaded FireFox as my default browser on my new MacBook. Previously I was able to update the settings for how downloads behave. But I can't seem to find what I need now. Currently, when I download a file, FireFox ALSO opens it in a new tab...I don't want it to do that. I just want to download the file, but cannot find where to turn off its ability to also open the file in a new tab as I don't want it to do that.

Thank you for your help!

Visiting some web page firefox prompt for my primary password , i imagine to access the login data of the site, but in principle the site may ask for anyone of the saved login data (or not?), so in lack of a clear login page i wonder how to know which private data are requested by the page.

is there any way to see what data are accessed? This is especially relevant if i've already input the master password, in this case there is no evidence to the user that private data are requested and accessed.

Is it possible to customize mouse middle click (scroll click) so when I middle-click on a tab it will duplicate it?

I don't know how, but it seemed intuitive to me. I was shocked it closed a tab. So I wondered, if this action closes a tab it, why shouldn't it be possible to modify the action so it duplicates a tab?

Thanks in advance.
