Firefox Community Forum

I am shipping a broken computer back to the manufacturer. I had installed Firefox on it using my Firefox account. Since I have used the Firefox password feature to store all my passwords, I'm concerned that someone at the manufacturer could access my passwords. (The computer refused to boot, so I was not able to scrub it prior to sending it back.) My question is this: if I change the Firefox password on my home desktop, will my passwords on the returned computer be protected?

Thanks for any help!

Hi, I am using Linux Zorin and have updated to a later OS but cannot reinstall my stored files because, "/home/garry/.mozilla/firefox/0czvkt76.default-release/lock". Which has confused me, I have used a Deja Dup backup which uses Duplicity files as per the Zorin programme. Duplicate files are stored in a WD ext hard drive. What can I do to recover my files pls? Appreciate! Cheers, Garry

why do you stalk and bother the users? i do not want to update! without warning you alter things i do not want you to alter. you take things out so people have to use risky 3rd party addons.

Over the past day or so, I keep having trouble accessing my MetaMask wallet. I just get a spinning wheel and I never get to the "enter password" field.

I reinstalled MM several times, I cleared my cookies and cache. Any idea why this keeps happening?

Hi, Is there any way I can view contents of a previously closed webpage? I got an estimate for a health procedure, but did not take a screenshot. Now when I go back via link (provided to me in email) to view the estimate, it's no longer there. Thank you!

I hope someone can help! My Firefox account was hacked as was the email connected to it. I currently have no access to the primary email. I thought I added a secondary email, but I never got a password reset email so maybe I didn't. In any event, how can I contact Firefox to lock the account? I have a lot of sensitive information saved and I need that to be locked or better yet, erased.

HELP!!

P.S. - This refers to a different Firefox account than the one I am currently signed in with

Hello! I want to register a security key (Fingerprint) for a website called Roblox, but it doesn't work. It says: "www.roblox.com wants to register an account with one of your security keys. You can connect and authorize one now, or cancel."

Can you help me please? Thank you very much! :)

ONCE AGAIN, I am having Hotmail issues through Firefox, and ONLY through Firefox!!! I had to go to PALE MOON AGAIN to use Hotmail. This is getting REALLY irritating. I can go to ANY OTHER website through Firefox with no issue, but Hotmaill? Oh no, of course not. Your damn browser refuses to cooperate and Hotmail just sits there for the past TWENTY-FOUR HOURS with a waiting symbol and stalls out, refusing to do ANYTHING to refresh the page, and when I try and open an email, Hotmail says, "We're sorry, we can't display that message right now." But when I use Pale Moon, NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!!!! FIx your damn browser to work with Hotmail CORRECTLY this is YOUR problem!!! Since it works FINE through Pale Moon the problem is OBVIOUSLY with YOU!!! I am so sick and tired of YOUR BROWSER stalling out and causing issues ALL THE TIME! DO SOMETHING!!!

When refreshing and clearing cache using CTRL+Shift+R, browser should reload all assets. However when refreshing site with @import(ed) style sheet, it does not update.

The workaround is to open the style sheet in a new tab (e.g. https://my.web.com/assets/custom.css) and run refresh + clear cache there CTRL+Shift+R, which loads the updated style sheet.

Then, upon refreshing the original site (https://my.web.com), the CSS has been updated.

Is this a bug or expected behaviour?

I have 2 yahoo email accounts. 1 on Chrome & "block Spam" works but on FF it does not. The same fake emails keep coming back and I can't add a screenshot to this.

Dear Concerned,

I'm trying to open an Internet Banking site of a reputed Bank of Bangladesh (https://www.citytouch.com.bd/), where the page opens for a second, but immediately switches on to a Blank Page with a comment like "Please turn off Developer Tools to access Internet Netbanking". However, the same site is accessible in Chrome and other Browsers without any problems. More so, I also can access the same site while browsing Firefox at my android with ease.

I tried all the available solutions from the net, but my efforts went in vain.

Thus, it would be kind if I get an advise to get rid of this problem.

With version 105.0.3 (32-Bit) I have only trouble. Sorry to say, but most pages are not working. So I will probably now change to Chrome. Because I need a browser working and not 80% of addresses not. I don't understand the newer philosophie. I was enthusiastic Firefox user. But this year each version has more problems for me, using Windows 10. Each page I open I get "Increased safety risk". And that could not the world of security of today. I think Banks, Insurance and Healthcare don't have insecure pages without acitve signatures. But Firefox says this every time to all pages.

Have a good time, Gilbert

Attached see a screenshot of a bank landing page...

I changed the systme theme in windows 10 to dark, websites still show up in white theme. Most websites that support dark mode will by default use the system theme, in my case dark.. So why isn't it working? For example i use the brave search engine search.brave.com, when i klick the settings icon it shows that by default it uses the system theme, as i said my system theme is dark but then why bravesearch using the white theme? It's not only bravesearch, same with duckduckgo search and same with youtube, all of them use the system theme, but for whatever reason everything is displayed in white theme instead of dark.

So i changed this setting in about:config but no matter which value i use (1,2,3) websites will always use system default - white theme, but infact my system theme is dark, how can i fix this? defaultPref("browser.theme.content-theme", 2);

Is there a way to stop Firefox from deactivating all of my addons after updating. If not I goig to swtich to anther browesr, so I do have waste my time reactivating them..

I've been using Firefox for several years, and this has never happened before. This is a pretty strange problem and I'm having trouble describing it, so please bear with me.

Since a day or two ago, I've been experiencing a problem where a small number of videos play, but once they get to right before the end, it'll abruptly stop. The play button looks as though the video is still playing even though it's really not, and clicking the play button does nothing. The only way to get the video to play again is to either refresh the page, move the progress bar back to a previous part of the video, or go all the way to the end of the video, in which case it'll allow me to replay it. The videos this problem happens on are completely random, but the problem persists on the same exact videos. This happens with both direct links to videos (i.e. videos like this one) and "embedded" videos (like videos on Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, etc). However, this only happens if the video has no sound or the sound is off, whether I've muted the tab or turned the sound off on the video directly. It also doesn't matter if the video is looped.

There's also a slightly different variation of this issue that seems to happen less often. With this problem, videos will stop right before the end like the videos that have the other problem, but only for a few seconds - after that, the video will end like normal and I can replay it.

I've tried restarting my computer, playing the problematic videos in a private window, disabling all of my extensions, using Troubleshoot Mode, refreshing Firefox, and even uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. This problem does NOT happen on Microsoft Edge. I'm 99% sure it's because of the new update (105.0), as this issue has only started happening after I updated to it. I updated to 105.0.1 earlier today, and it's still happening. I'm thinking of going back to 104.0.2 if this glitch doesn't get fixed (or at least I don't get help) soon, because I know this issue will seriously get annoying after a while.

Two of the videos that have this problem are this video and this video. Note that both have the secondary version of this problem. I would have uploaded a video of the problem to this post, but this website doesn't let me, so I attached the best screenshot I could take instead.

Any help would be appreciated!
