Firefox Community Forum

I'll try to make this short. Old laptop crashed and burned, rebuilt new laptop, brought over places.sqlite files and all my bookmarks are there however I can't add to them, delete any of them, and on occasion they disappear and I have to restore the places.sqlite files just to get them back. HELP! This browser is driving me nuts!

A strange new requester appeared in Firefox today. I do not think that I clicked on anything without noticing. I was just watching a Youtube video and the requester appeared when I was moving the cursor down across the screen. The requester items would not respond, and the requester could not be closed. I had to quit Firefox and restart to get rid of it. See attached screen capture.

I'm trying to give permission to a website to use my microphone, but if I copy in the web address, the "Allow" button doesn't appear & so when I hit "save changes" nothing happens.

Your instructions under "help" say to click on "Firefox" and click on "preferences". When I click on Firefox the menu does NOT have "Preferences" in it. What's up with that?? And how do I clear the cache and cookies?

As of January 2024, I am constantly being asked for a Primary Password when I use the Firefox browser. I do not believe I ever set a Primary Password or Master Password with Firefox, and I have been using Firefox for many years. When I go to the Settings page, it says to confirm my current Primary Password in order to change it. But I need to know my current password to do that. I also unchecked Primary Password, and got a pop-up that said if I remove my Primary Password my information will not be protected if my computer is compromised. Obviously, I don't want that to happen. Is it possible I am being asked for a Primary Password because I am using a VPN? Please advise on how to resolve this problem. I can't change my password, and I can't confirm ever setting one so I am concerned. Thank you.

I have a folder with multiple files in a Google drive. I want to share the folder with a person in :View only mode" where he cannot copy or download the files (while he is using the firefox browser). How can I do that ?

Thank you !

On Firefox, the search function of a specific website fails to search the database or function properly. When I clear cookies/cache, it works. But after the page follows the query and refreshes, it stops working. On other web browsers it works fine. More interestingly, it works fine on another computer where I use Firefox.

After a session with many tabs open, I will close the browser. It doesn't matter if I open browser immediately or the next day, or after rebooting computer, the same tabs remain.

One of the websites I use now gives me the following error: Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed Microsoft edge does not have this problem, but I don't like using edge. I used my search and found many causes. I did the following: Went to my firefox settings and cleared cookies and history I ran two security programs, bitdefender and maleware bytes I still have the problem.

This is the message I get. "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed." I can do nothing.

Things I've tried. Adding exceptions in the privacy settings in 2 seperate areas. Resetting Browser deafults. Turning off all vpn's and addons.

Nothing works.

I know this is an ongoing issue but it seems like nobody has mentioned it in a while so I figured I would stir it up again. I am fed up with the bookmark double spacing and having to scroll down all of the time.

If nothing else I would think that the Firefox team owes all of its loyal users an explanation as to why they don't seem to want to fix this probem.

Thanks my rant for this year :)

I keep being told on certain websites to turn off my ad blocker. I don't have one. I don't even have one in the Extensions that's disabled. I have no idea how to get past this. What's turned on that I don't know about?

As of firefox for linux installed via flatpak into chromebook linux v121.0, Firefox does not copy and paste to or from the clipboard as it was able to do so in previous versions. Copying and pasting doesn't generate an error or give a message, it simply doesn't paste anything to the destination as if the copy had failed.

I am able to copy from a chromeOS app and paste into Firefox. Other Linux apps are still able to open Firefox when a link is clicked. I cannot copy from Firefox (copying text from the page or copying from the address bar) into the clipboard and paste it elsewhere.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried erasing the linux container entirely and reinstalling, to no avail. Let me know if I can help provide more information, troubleshooting help, or if you would like help testing fixes.

On eBay, on the orders page, near the top of the list is a checkbox which when checked should cause the entire list of orders to all become checked, allowing a single operation to apply to the entire list of checked orders. Checking this box is not causing the list of orders to become checked. It works in Firefox private mode.

The problem is not being caused by any of the extensions - it persists after disabling every extension.

Windows 10, FF 121.0.1 (64-bit)

Good afternoon:

Yesterday the youtube website loaded fine. Today, if I type youtube.com in the address bar & hit enter it doesn't load.

I thought maybe a corrupt add-on so I removed all youtube related add-ons then rebooted the laptop.

No difference. YT wouldn't load.

It loads fine on edge.

Any ideas?

I tried to follow this theme's([https://github.com/PROxZIMA/Sweet-Pop.../Sweet-Pop]) installation guide. After I installed it the userChrom and userContent css files have been updated and the result was that the browser header has been changed but the homepage/newtab's UI hasn't been updated. I enabled toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets option in the about:config section. Did somebody have similar issue?

Recently, I've found I cannot successfully submit a superchat donation on Youtube while using Firefox. I was successful using Edge browser. Firefox asks to confirm the card number I'm using to chat, but then once acknowledged, the screen stays grey/white and doesn't ever clear to process the chat.
