Firefox Community Forum

Dear Madams and Sirs,

i hope you can help me.

As a (web ) developer (and fan of Firefox) I use Firefox every day and i restart the browser serveral times a day.

I use a Dell U3417W as an external display (widescreen, notebook display is deactivated if i use the external display) under windows 10 & 11 and i want Firefox at the right half side of the Screen (using windows + right or manuel positioning/resizing of the Firefox window).

At start of Firefox, first it will fit the right side of the screen without any offset (last saved position from xulstore.json) - only for a very short moment. Immediately after the start the window will automatically repositioned to an offset of appox. 5px from the right/button position (see attached screen). Then i have to use windows + right or mouse drag to the right border of the screen to get the right position again.

At next start of Firefox the Firefox window is at the same offset position again.

I searched the web for serveral ours to find a solution: I tried to Refresh Firefox, delete xulstore.json, i have only the standard dark theme active (FF 128.03 and earlier versions, now in win11, win10 the same), tried the fingerprint.. = false approach, nothing works.

Firefox is the only application with this behavier. Chrome, Edge i.e. does not have the kind of shifting...

Thanks in advance and greetings from Berlin

For the last two days, I have not been able to use Firefox to sign and properly use two key platforms for work: Booking.com and Expedia. Both now demand two-factor/step authentication at sign-up which I can live with BUT every time I click a link once signed in that they deem is sensitive (like looking at the details of a particular reservation or accessing their help messaging tools), I am asked to go through the authentication again. For every task. This means, for example, to change a room for a guest I now need to receive three different SMS codes as the platforms somehow stop recognising that I've already logged in.

I haven't changed any settings on Expedia, Booking.com or Firefox so any ideas on how to solve this please?

Thanks in advance Kevin

Recently I opened a website that had redirected me to some random site, I closed the tab immediately but now I keep getting spam notifications saying I may have a virus or various things from the site. I've tried to silence the site, I've ran security tests on my computer and they say it's fine, I just don't know how to silence the website or wipe it from my computer.

I can never sign out of my iphone or import my contacts. You have me down on Three devices Each attributing to iOS,iPhone and Firefox on PC. I recently got rid of my Microsoft account because I thought its outlook was the source of Confusion. If it’s still alive, get rid of it. When I tried to sign in After I bought a. second pc, You totally confused The former owners. account with mine, Leading to her Canceling Firefox because. we shared passwords for Weeks. I don’t know what’s going on, but I wish someone would pick up a phone over there. I was with y’all for 15 years. Look at the past tense. I got to move on.

I was wondering how I could disable these banner notifications whenever a download completes. I've tried setting `browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel` and `browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete` to false, as well as disabling plasma and GNOME. But they still seem to appear

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.

For 2 days now I have a big problem! Firefox froze, and I ended up closing it with the programme manager. When I wanted to reopen I got this: Firefox est déjà en cours d’exécution mais ne répond pas. L’ancien processus Firefox doit être arrêté pour pouvoir ouvrir une nouvelle fenêtre. BUT - it refuses to close when I click on "close" (fermer).

I tried the programme manager - but Firefox isn't shown as being open.

I've made a back up of my profile. I can't delete parent.block ... I'm told "Firefox is running already" and I must close it. Every troubleshooting step comes to the same barrier to completing it! Almost all guide one from an open Firefox page - and I can't open Firefox! I can't "uninstall" for the same reason!

All my passwords are in Firefox - and I can't import them to Chrome without closing Firefox completely! I'm going mad - urgent need to access my passwords!

Many web pages now 'flash' when opened in FF (128.0.3 64bit W10). ALL graphics images turn on then off in synchrony. Text does not seem to be affected. Disabling HW acceleration has no effect.

sample web page: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/01/eu-ai-act-goes-into-effect-heres-what-it-means-for-us-tech-firms.html This problem does NOT occur using Google Chrome. [One difference noted seems to be the TOP of the web page has an mp4 video advert. It displays in Chrome, but not in ffox]

I haven't loggued in to my matrix account in a long time. I didn't remember which way i used, so i used my email adress, which created a new account. Trying to log out and in again didn't showed me the other options such as login with mozilla (sso), so i deleted that new account (@sebbu2:mozilla.org). Meanwhile, I'm not sure i even am loggued out properly, since i get the same message when i try the original account (@sebbu:mozilla.org) that used mozilla sso.
