Firefox Community Forum

I'm logged in to my Firefox account, I visit (for example) ESPN.com on my PC. I adjust the size to fit my PC screen, then when I visit the same site on my laptop the website doesn't look right so I have to size down, but then when I visit on my PC I have to size up again etc etc etc.

I want to individualize the size of webpages, how do I do that?

Hello everyone,

For some time, I have problems opening links in a new tabs (CTRL+click on link).

Whenever I try, the new tab opens but the web page would either not open at all or only partially. Examples: clicking link A while being on page B leads to C 1. A: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute

   B: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/firefox/form
   C: Unable to connect

2. A: https://www.ebay.com/mye/myebay/watchlist

   B: https://www.ebay.com/?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5339064144&customid=ROWss&toolid=20012&mkevt=1
   C: Unable to connect

3. A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjTO1zeD6r0

   B: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PIar7Fd7WM
   C: page opens, but in the video frame it says 'Video unavailable'

These problems do not appear, when I open links in the same tab. They also do not appear, when I open links in a new tab in another browser.

Thus, it must be some issue with Firefox' 'open in new tab'-function.

Any ideas what to do?

Cheers, Bart

Does Firefox for Desktop not have the option to install PWAs (Progressive Web App) natively, as a feature included in the browser, not requiring third-party extensions? If the answer is no, is it possible to implement this very important feature? Thanks.

Starting from Firefox 132, HTTP sites cannot be loaded at all.

This is tested on a brand new installation of Firefox 132 without any profiles on Windows 11.

By research on doctorfmh.ch, message from Firefox : session is invalid With Safari, no problem. What to do to repair that ?

A website (https://www.my.commbank.com.au/netbank/Logon/Logon.aspx) will not load in Firefox on my PC but will on my laptop and in other browsers. I have cleared cookies etc as advised but it will still not load. There is no error message, just a blank screen.

I have two installations of Firefox. One windows10 and one Linux. BOTH are doing the same thing on this site https://www.rapidonline.com/

I cannot scroll using the mouse roller. Page up/down doesn't work. Middle click and drag doesn't scroll either. BUT, for the briefest of time, BEFORE the Firefox shield in the address bar, I can scroll.

Hovering over the blue shield shows the text... Blocking social media trackers, cross site tracking cookies, and fingerprinters. Turning the Firefox protection OFF makes no difference, other than the shield is white and struck out. Disabling uBlock origin, or malwarebytes makes no difference. Both my installations do the same BUT, I called a pal who also uses Firefox on Linux and windows and he reports all is well and he uses uBlock, but not malwarebytes.

I have not actively messed with my settings on either platform. Oh, I was told to clear the cache. No joy.

Why does Firefox think it is blocking stuff but turning the protection off makes no difference? Why should two separate installations behave identically? Why does my pal's Firefox using Linux work on this site 100% ? I feel like I am going insane...

I have this really minor inconvenience because of gmail changing their link from gmail.com to mail.google.com. Typing in "gmail.com" still works and it redirects to the new link, but the autocomplete function doesn't see it as a legitimate link, and doesn't save it, so I end up searching "g" most of the time when I want to access my mail. My question is this: Is there any way/add-on that would allow me to add a custom autocomplete query so that I could just type "g" and access my mail?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Don't recall when the change actually took place, but now on the Gmail page the following pop-up always appears "use firefox to open mail.google.com every time you click a link that opens your email?"

The pop-up that appears is the same as in https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1g09q1h/how_to_disable_popup_on_gmail_use_firefox_to_open/

Do note that I'm also using thunderbird and it is installed as the default mail handler in windows.

I've also changed network.protocol-handler.external.mailto to false in the firefox settings. It has not solved the issue, the question re-appears at every firefox startup.

I noticed that after Norton updated their Anti Virus to 24.10.9535, that I sometimes get a message that says "Connection verified by a certificate issuer that is not recognized by Mozilla", when I click on the Lock Icon. I never saw this before the Norton Graphics User Interface was updated to the most current one. I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but No change. With some websites, for instance https://support.mozilla.org, I see the normal "Connection secure >", right underneath the "Site information for support.mozilla.org". But with something like: https://www.att.com, I see the error that I never saw before. I sent a message to Norton with this information too, but I don't know if they will respond or not. I know that I'm still getting the "Connection secure >", above the error, but it bothers me to see that error underneath. I am on Windows 10, using Firefox 132.0.2, at the moment. Also, Windows 10 is version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.5131), so I have all the latest patches. On my Windows 11 PC, that Norton is still using GUI version 22.24.8.36, I Never see this error. (Windows 11 is on the newest Windows version, with all patches installed; and Firefox is version 132.0.2)

normally I prefer Mozilla Firefox. but while the last ca.12 month minimum 2 by day I had a blackout and it was necessary to restart the computer. this is out of question - so I cannot work. Now I changed to Google Chrome but I am not content. There is no privacy. But to work with Mozilla is not longer interest because of the permanent restarts. What the matter?

On Mac OS, Cmd+? AKA Cmd+Shift+/ (on a US keyboard, at least, these are the same) is the standard shortcut to open a search bar inside the Help menu that searches through the commands in the menu. See attached screenshot.

As you can see, Firefox seems to bind it to "Get Help" (which is wrong for Mac OS).

Even worse, if you actually press Cmd+?, the Help menu flashes open and closed, and nothing happens. If you press Cmd+? twice in rapid succession, the "Get Help" command executes.

Is this a bug? Is there a way around this?

I am using Firefox 132.0.1 (aarch64) on Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.1.

For reference, https://superuser.com/questions/201798/how-do-i-make-cmd-work-the-native-way-with-firefox-for-mac claims this was fixed in Firefox 4 many years ago.

It's also possible to change the Mac OS shortcut in the Mac OS Settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts, but I'd rather not.

After years of working without an issue, now whenever I open Firefox only some of the windows that were open when I shut down can be re-opened. Others are still listed in the "Window" menu, but clicking on them results in nothing. I also cannot delete them.

Help?

I am currently using Firefox v132.0 on a 2024 MacBoook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.

Thanks!

Hey Gang,

Sooooo, this is Driving Me Nuts!!!

Facebook.com is Redirecting to https://business.facebook.com/business/loginpage/ after I log in.

I have LITERALLY tried everything to fix this (and I'm no noob)!!!! It's not a Plugin or Extension, it's not related to HTTPS over DNS or any Browser Privacy Settings; not a Cookie or any Saved Site Setting, nor is it anything in My Antivirus or Windows 10 Registry (I purged EVERYTHING!). Nothing in the Hosts File, etc etc etc....

It was working until whatever update I did, and it works fine in Opera and Chrome as well as on another PC with a fully patched FF Browser.

Any Ideas or a Solution would be EPIC, I am ALMOST out of options and I'm all Grepped Out....TIA!

Thanks Gang!

Since updating to Sequoia on my Mac Mini, I have been getting thr folloeing error: Document Expired This document is no longer available. The requested document is not available in Firefox’s cache.

   As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.
   Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website.

I do not get it on my MacBook with Sonoma. Please advise,

Thanks, Frank
