Firefox Community Forum

After last update, when I open the bookmark sidebar (CTRL+B) and change its size (width), and then close Firefox, sidebar's width change to previous size.

How to fix it?

I updated to version 129.0 and Hulu stopped streaming and news video imbedded in news articles will no longer load. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox and cleared all cache. It is affecting my desktop and laptop. Both operating systems are windows 10 64 bit. I made sure the Firefox download was 64 bit. The problem is not the websites as they will load and attempt to load content but it behaves as if it is being blocked. It is not my antivirus because I have turned is off and there is no difference.

I noticed that sometimes (not everytime) I had "Server Not Found" error on some of my website. Since i have a DNS server at home i thought it was probably related to that so I opened Wireshark to see what was happening.

to better understand I have 2 dns records

server.lan that point to 192.168.1.61 and *.mydomain.com that points to server.lan with a CNAME.

In wireshark i saw that generally firefox does A and HTTPS(TYPE 65) queries but sometimes it only does HTTPS.

In case of a Type 65 query my dns server only answers with the CNAME so server.lan The issue is that Firefox doesnt try to resolve the CNAME.

When firefox do both A and Type65 it seems to work probably because it takes the A answer wich contains both cname and the IP of the CNAME but when it doesn't do both it just stop after the HTTPS one without trying to resolve the CNAME.

Google chrome seems to always do Both A and Type 65 query.

Please look into fixing this problem. What is the purpose of the web search bar in the middle of the screen if it cannot be used? There is a setting that allows it to be there but nothing that can make it a default search bar. The address/search bar up top is always the default no matter what I've tried. It's nerve wracking to see something there you can't use. If there is something I can do to fix this please let me know.

Google search engine suddenly stopped working on my Firefox app on my laptop. Please tell me how to fix this. I have already checked settings and Google is the preferred/default search engine.

A lot of my bookmarks are just global icon signs when I click them, nothing happens, some that are proper icon signs, will list take me to any random site, tried restoring and restarting, to no avail ,this is a long standing issue, affecting both bookmark toolbar and other bookmarks. Even tried reinstalling Firefox, the issue still stands Firefox is otherwise perfect, I've now run out of ideas, any help would be appreciated from Patrick

Just like in the subject is there a way to make it switch to firefox after opening a external link in a new tab. I know that i can do that by changing the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground option to false but this makes it also switch to a new tab after i open a link in firefox with the middle mouse button which i don't like. Is there a way to force firefox to open without sacrificing the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground option?

I have noticed that on certain websites which have site search boxes on their webpages (e.g. reddit, tvtropes), if I click in the box to type a search term, it will display about five suggestions which I have searched in the long-distant past in some context which I no longer recall. I generally would prefer suggestions not to show up in the first place, and I don't know why these specific terms are the specific ones which show up. Since this issue happens with site-specific search engines, rather than the search engine associated with the address bar, I'm unsure how to delete these suggestions. I normally browse in private windows, and on the rare occasion that I don't, I usually delete my history, and am unsure how the suggestions came to persist, and to persist only in the context I describe? If anyone can help, I'd be thankful.

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 164.100.251.16.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

I have two Firefox windows open, one on my Macbook Pro and one on my external monitor. When I click a link in Obsidian, Firefox always opens it in the laptop's window. Is there a way to configure Obsidian (or maybe Firefox) so that links open in the Firefox window on my external monitor?

I have all my tabs set and don't want to lose them. My Mozilla Firefox Browser will not open on my desktop. I have another Browser I use for facebook as it works better with fb app. I did a cookie clean on the Microsoft Edge browser and I think it messed with my Mozilla Firefox Browser. It won't open now. I tried to update the browser. It still won't open.

With Firefox 129.0 for Windows (64-bit), I am unable to log into one of my banking sites. It always says invalid username/password. It works fine with Microsoft Edge, and another computer still on 128.0.3, and their phone app.

I have tried the normal stuff of clearing cookies and cache, safe mode, etc... No change.

Dear FireFox,

Christian greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In addition to being pastor, I am also the Webmaster for the Church Website for about 30 years and prepare a FREE Weekly Church Newsletter circulated worldwide with 1297 back-issues available for download.

When I draft and code the Newsletter I switch between TextPad (text editor) and Firefox off-line. Images should display offline or on-line as they are all on the Church Computer. I have experienced this problem for about three or four weeks.

Please assist me with this problem.

Any of hundreds of .jpg or .gif or .npg images. We have a desktop computer. I have reinstalled FireFox multiple times and it will no longer display images off-line. This is a relatively recent problem I have not suffered in 30-years. Google Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer all display the images off-line.

I will be grateful if you will email me at ags@biblebelievers.

May God bless you.

Yours sincerely in the love and service of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL http://www.biblebelievers.au/ Subscribe to Bible Believers' FREE Weekly Church Newsletter

When I check "Check spelling as you type" and choose size of fonts and then close my browser it doesn't remember the settings chosen, IE, when I open it again, go to settings the "check spelling as you type" isn't checked and the size of the fonts shows earlier setting

The youtube performance on my potato PC is very slow on Firefox. Yes, potato PC indeed, but Edge works fine.

Troubleshooting mode doesn't improve anything. Sandbox mode, performance is terrible on everything (maybe potato PC can't run sandbox mode well enough).

Disabling hardware acceleration doesn't help (makes worse actually).
