Configuration details are below. The Firefox desktop for Windows address bar does not function [it was fine previously]. If search keys or an internet address are entered into it, carriage return results in no action. The address bar is fully functional in Troubleshooting Mode. Shortcuts on the New Tab page or the desktop DO function.

about:config>keyw>keyword.enabled DOES have a value of TRUE

AVAST virus checker reveals no malware.

I've no idea how to resolve this. Solution[s] welcome and appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

FIREFOX 128.0.3 [64 bit]

WINDOWS Edition Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 OS build 22631.3880 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

DEVICE Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Because Microsoft's timeserver remains shit as ever (which is why if I install Windows I tend to sync up with nist.gov instead of windows.com, but this time I forgot to do so), the time/date stamp didn't match up and Firefox absolutely refused to sync.

HOWEVER.... the only reason I found this out is because I checked about:sync-log and am able to correctly read those logs and the implication therein. Which, honestly, shouldn't be needed.

When I realized this I synced up with nist.gov, which solved the sync issue, but if you don't know about the state of the Windows time server and how drastically synced up in regarding the time you need to be for the Firefox sync to work, you're pretty much screwed.

Which is why I'd like to suggest a warning in regards to this, if the system notes a 'time de-sync' and tells you why syncing doesn't work. You shouldn't need (by the average citizen's standard) need intermediate or better computer knowledge skills to realize why the syncing doesn't work.

Learn more… this what i get now after being able to get in earlier.

I use a 3rd party password manager that has a Firefox browser extension. Using usernames and passwords is no problem. But for sites that I have passkeys saved for, Firefox tries to intercept the passkey request and validate the request on it's own. If I go into about:config and set security.webauthn.enable_macos_passkeys to False, the passkey request is just not accepted at all and the login request errors out.

I need the browser to be able to pass these passkey requests to my extension based password manager, not to be interpreted by Firefox itself.

The requested functionality works fine in Chrome and Chromium variants such as Edge and Brave, btw.

Explain why I get a message saying that the website is not secure when it is. I have been using this for months with no issues but in the last 3 days it has become a huge issue. It crashes and will not come back up for hours. I need a explanation yesterday

I would like to be able to quickly identify certain URLs that appear in my Firefox history by simply looking at corresponding icon — is there a way to edit a Firefox history item to do this?

Had trouble with password for firefox primary password so I reset it, now when i try logging into websites on firefox that used passkey before rest, those sites will not allow passkey as an option that works.

About once per week, I'll be using Firefox and it will stop working. I'll close it and open it again and it gives me an error message "The application "Firefox" can't be opened."

If I download Firefox and reinstall it, everything will work fine for another week and then it will do it again. I'm not doing the same thing when it breaks. It does it on both my Mac Mini (macOS 14.5) and my Mac laptop (macOS 12.7.5).

It just started happening in May on both. Nothing has changed on both that I can think of.

Hi, I use firefox as my main browser but have had to start using others over the past 5 ish months because I can't make changes to appointment in my google calendar when in firefox and I can't read some of my emails because of a weird decorative small font when in firefox. Both problems disappear in other browsers.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox but the problems still persist. Any ideas?

I started getting a message today asking me for primary password in order to access saved passwords. It is not accepting the password I had used previously. Is there a way to reset primary password? What can I do to access all my saved passwords?

In seeing other answers to this dilemma it presents another problem. I do use sync. But what troubles me is IF I need to give out the password for someone to use the internet that person now has access to my passwords. Since there seems no way, unless I shutoff sync. Is this correct? Should there be some Secondary password? Passwordpasswordpasswordpasswordetc.

Hi, guys! This is driving me crazy! PLEASE, HELP!

Here, both Google Docs and .pdf files (from any site) keep jumping pages while I'm reading.

For example, from page 2, it goes to 9, then I scroll back up and it's on 15, etc.

I've already tried deleting all cookies, clearing the cache, completely uninstalling Firefox from my PC, but it always happens. I'm having this issue for weeks.

I tried uninstalling extensions, but I can't solve it. It's a nightmare.

Why can't I upload photos to ebay? I do not understand this (and you cannot right click to open it in a new tab either). See screenshot below. Any help gratefully received. Kind regards, Neil

Can we set it as a new tab option instead of manually clicking the button?

Currently, there's no way to achieve this with an extension thanks to malware risks preventing any add-ons from targeting the local URL (i.e. 'about::___') as a new tab.

Introducing this page as a new tab option has the potential to significantly enhance the Firefox ecosystem. It will make the transition from phone to desktop seamless, greatly improving multi-devices experiences.

Pinned tabs disappear from main browser window AFTER using "New private window" browser to test a different site issue. This has happened a few times for me. It is very cumbersome and should not be necessary to do a problem search and see all the steps needed to follow using the sessionstore.jsonlz4 process. Why can't Firefox have simple "restore PINNED tabs" history? I am going to plan on saving each link for each pinned tab in a document of my own simply because it is EXTREMELY annoying and TIME CONSUMING to try to get each of them back. Why does the "New Private Window" use cause this issue in the main browser window?

Hello. Recently I've noticed video quality has been reduced on amazon prime video. I get a message saying my hardware doesn't meet HDCP requirements.

I've already tried playing the same video on edge, and the quality selector was fine there, full HD video.

Thank you in advance

Since last update, when I am in email and select an image to download to my computer, it pops up in my browser. I have to right click to "Save As" to get it to my downloads folder, then click the back button of the browser to get back into email. Very frustrating. I have gone into firefox settings and set everything that I had an option to download to computer. It has not solved the problem. I have noticed in the application box in firefox settings, there is not an option of IMG, JPG, or PNG. Really need some help. thanks!
