I keep getting: Save Login for http://blabla.xyz?!!

if i say 'never' it just keeps asking.

now your saying. aah. thats cause it cannot differentiate a ipv4 and a hostname.

The gethostbyname() function returns a structure of type hostent for the given host name. Here name is either a hostname or an IPv4 address

i wonder then what this browser does. not remembering by name. here thus the word never is better replaced by -> ask me again next time.

Hi, i downloaded the browser like an hour ago because the youtube ads are annoying and i found a "Your browser is being managed by your organization." thingie on chrome, which led me to a virus (found with kasperky), ran windows defender and malwarebytes afterwards, nothing came up.

And so i thought all was good. I wanted to enable autoplay on youtube videos and when i was looking for that option in the settings i noticed this on the left corner again (added images).

Found a post in 2023 about the same thing but it doesn't answer nor help.

When I upload my profile picture to Mozilla accounts, it renders correctly in the browser, but when I click submit, it changes to lots of lines that give me trypophobia. It is also wrong in the Firefox browser profile icon.

Clicking on the GOOGLE search box in the address bar automatically opened it but since 7/25/2024, I have to type 1 character in the GOOGLE search box for it to open. What's happened? I cleared all cookies, removed and then added GOOGLE search back in the address bar and I don't have AdBlocker Ultimate. I have adblocker for Youtube & FB along w/FBcontainer because w/o it it's a joke trying to watch anything. I tried the suggestions to disable but it didn't work. I have no idea why you're even suggesting not using an adblocker. That's been the #1 reason people have downloaded FF is because of the different, usable & functional adblockers. I started using NN; which turned into Mozilla; for that reason....adblocking/pop-up blocking features and add-ons. Since it's not the adblocker in my case, what next?

Hi

OK so I was having some issues with firefox where I had to reinstall it and this did in fact resolve the issues I was having.

Problem I have is this though when I reinstalled it I first backed up my chrome folder which had all my custom CSS to move the tabs to the bottom of the header area and when I then reinstalled FF I then copied the folder back into my profile folder using the More Info under the help menu to make sure I was in fact in the right profile folder.

Problem is the code isn't moving the tabs and I seem to remember some issues with this the last time we had to fix FF that something had changed with the Chrome folders and such.

So what do I need to do to get my tabs back on the bottom again as I hate them up top!

Thanks!

Over a week ago my videos on Utube quit working. I click on video and it starts to load but it never does load and start. The rotating circle never stops. If I click on the progress bar the popup shows the frame of the video so the info is in the machine. I had problems with cloudflare but I finally got rid of that garbage. It did not help with the video problem. I am running Windows 11 on an HP Pavilion that is about year old. It has 32 g of ram and 500g of storage. Windows and Firefox are up to date. I have rebooted and refreshed Windows and uninstalled Firefox but that does not help. I have no other problems, Chrome and Edge do not have the problem. I have an old HP desktop that runs windows 11 (slowly) and Firefox runs U Tube videos on it with no problems.

when i try to print list of names of removed and in progress only the cover of reolved items does not print details. list is needed to compare to info on experian which azppears to differ with mozilla you show below wsindows 10 i am on windows 11

My bookmarks changed with the update. I can't find everything that I had in my bookmarks. I liked the way Bookmarks worked before the update. They were easy to find and organize. Please put it back the way it was. This is horrible. It is like Edge and Chrome, which I don't use because they are horrible to use. Now firefox is the same.

I am trying to upgrade firefox to the latest version on my intel imac. The os is Sonoma 14.5 I download the .dmg file and when I try to mount the diskimage it gives me this error "Operation Not Permitted" I tried to verify the .dmg file using the mac disk utility program. It won't do it. It just gives me the same "Operation not Permitted" error. I tried verifying another .dmg file in the same directory (downloads) Disk Utilities performs the operation just fine on that .dmg .

?????

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

I am trying to remove a shortcut off of my Firefox homepage. I have been trying everyday of what I can do, clicking "Dismiss" or "Delete from History" will not do anything. I am trying to find out what other ways can help, but so far, none seem to help for now. I haven't been on the website because I didn't need to anymore. I have been looking for ways, but they seem to not help me at all. Is there anyway I can get rid of it please? Please let me know.

I noticed there are 2 FF and 2 FF private browsing icons in win 11 under "start", "all apps". I don't see a way to delete 1 of each. is there a reason they are there maybe? I'd like to remove the 2 duplicates if not. thanks

I am using 'search:query=seattle&crumb=location:C%3A%5CMyFolder' such query to search in my local indexed files on my windows using firefox 124.xx versions and also all the other browser supports this , after the update to 128.0.3 , this stopped working , Is there any setting to do so that it would start working back. reference link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../search-protocol

Microsoft search Protocol works fine in older versions now it didnt , Any new update stopped this?

I have been using Firefox for a long time and truly enjoy it. However, lately it has problems loading websites. It can delay for two or three minutes to load gmail, citicards, Schwab, etc. I do not have the problem when I switch to Chrome. Therefore, it has to be something with Firefox. If this cannot be resolved I will switch, reluctantly, to Chrome.

I would love for someone to help point me in the right direction as to why my Firefox tabs are constantly crashing, especially on high memory usage websites like webmail or youtube.

I'm wondering if it could be related to a potentially faulty processor, as I recently had to RMA my i9 14900k processor, and modify the bios for stability even after I got a replacement, just to get applications to stop crashing and the OS to stop blue-screening.

For the curious, my intel forum post about that issue. My system specs are included in there as well: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/i9-14900k-randomly-crashing/m-p/1593273/thread-id/71838

Firefox crash logs:

Some crash reasons listed are EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT , EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ , and EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE .

Hello, what can I do to prevent the fans in my laptop from turning on at full speed when watching a video, or playing a music stream or internet radio through the site? I tried playing the same media on the EDGE browser and the computer is cool there, only through the Firefox browser, as soon as I turn on a YT movie or a radio stream, the fans start working at full speed. Please fix this, or tell me if I can change any settings? Best regards, Zenek

Two days ago firefox would not play youtube videos. I select a video from my home page and the screen turns black and I see a spinning circle. Then an ad will appear darkened and I can skip. When I do the screen returns to black. This does not happen on any other source. It does not happen when I use Microsoft Edge.

Hello, I have encountered an issue on the google photos website. Allow me to explain by giving the scenario:

Lets say A shared an album with B thereby A being the owner and B being the collaborator.

When A right clicks an image within the gallery, in the right click menu he has the option to 'save image as'. It does not matter if A is the owner of said image or not.

If B wishes to do the same thing, he can only do so for images he uploaded aka that he owns. He cannot right click on the images A uploaded to save it. Instead he must use Shift + D. The right click context menu only shows "Save webpage as" so we cannot download anything.

I have tried to test it on other browsers and Firefox is the only one with this issue. For chromium based browsers it works perfectly normally.
