Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I have to make it short now because I clicked on the link in this text:

"Troubleshooting Information (optional): We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps."

It opened in the same tab and my whole long text was gone. :( Don't know if it's my settings fault or you should change something there, at least a warning would be good.

The uploaded image is strangely still there.

Normally I use an App like Notes where everything is saved imidiately while writing and copy it over because things like that happened many times. But I forget to do it often.

I like testing new features and giving feedback about bugs, also I am always running the latest macOS Developer Beta on my Mac and use Nightly as my main browser most of the time. But I am still using 1Password 6 for several reasons.

It seems (I noticed it only today) the update to version 134 made my already officially unsupported 1Password extension unusable.

I am using the one that you only see if you activated the checkbox for showing betas on this website but that version doesn’t make a difference. Just to explain why it’s labeled beta in my screenshot, it’s not one of the new betas.

https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPX4

So now, I can’t even download the file with a right click from there, to install it again.

I am sure I will find it somewhere in my backups but I fear that doesn’t help.

Did anything change regarding the handling of Extensions in version 134?

Is it possible to reactivate it somehow? Maybe somewhere in about:config?

I would be really happy for your help.

And another question:

Is there a way to install Nightlies for iOS too? I only have the TestFlight beta there.

I already have an Alpha version of an app on one of my iPhones. The developer needed a UDID or so for that.

Before everyone used TestFlight I could also install pre-release versions like Proton Mail or the Readdle apps by installing a profile.

And now there are even more ways for EU located devices.

Now the text got even longer, than the original one. Sorry for that. ;) But I don’t read it again for correcting typos.

Kind regards, Julie

I updated my password on a 2nd device,

when i re-signed into my main computer ALL my extensions were deleted, this includes multiple crypto extensions which i will now have to attempt to recover.

This is a MAJOR issue.

Something that's gone unsolved for years with Firefox for me is suddenly, one day, the browser started overfblowing the brightness in A LOT of images on websites. It even does this with the icons for websites in the bookmarks bar. It happens like this for almost every single one and so many things I've tried doing doesn't fix it; installed latest version, restarting the browser, troubleshoot mode. Nothing works.

The image that is bright and washed out is a screenshot of a weighted blanket on its website while using Firefox. The other is how it looks using Opera GX, and is how it usually looks on every other browser.

How do I fix this?

I read somewhere that Firefox was working on a simple Multiple accounts Addition to Firefox but I can no longer find the article. Is this true. When you start up Chrome, it asks you which account you would like to use, and switching between accounts is as simple as a click on your account icon. This feature is invaluable and the only reason i still use Chrome. I keep checking back on Firefox every month or two, just to see if they have done it yet. Anyone know if it is still happening?

Since I updated to 132.0, youtube refuses to play like a dog that doesn't want to go to the vet. It lets me search videos and open the page, but the player sits and loads without playing. Music.youtube.com doesn't respond at all to the play button; it continues to show the play button and doesn't play. I tried removing all my extensions, clearing history, cache, site settings, et. al., but it didn't work. Only on Chromium does YouTube work. I heard Youtube was cracking down on adblockers, but I have tried removing it already and reloading to no avail. Next I'm trying to refresh firefox in about:support.

No matter how many times I clear "everything" from history, I still see firefox suggestions on the new tab page from websites I visited months ago. This is really annoying and could be embarrassing if you were on certain sites. I will NEVER understand why the default is to hang on to old data.....when it should be the opposite; users should choose to retain ONLY the history they choose to. I have CLEAR HISTORY when firefox closes checked....this is BROKEN please fix it

Hello, I keep deleting Google search as I want to use DuckDuckGo my main web search browser. There is a nuisance as Google search keeps coming back even if I deleted Google from my Search engines.

Please help with a definitive solution otherwise I should move to another browser. Cheers.

Hi everyone, I love Firefox, but it has a very debilitating issue whereby login popup windows, those little ones you click on to login, do not come up at all on some sites.

I have a screenshot below for https://www.avsim.com from MS Edge, where the popup does work. It also works on Google Chrome. But after clicking on sign in, nothing happens at all in Firefox.

Popups are enabled, cookies are enabled and safe browsing is totally disabled in Firefox settings. I have also disabled my ad blocker, AdGuard, on this site.

Can someone tell me what settings may need to be fixed in Firefox, or is this another issue?

Thanks.

Hello! Thank you for helping. Firefox must have updated, because, now, when I open a new tab, it opens in a new window, and, when I move it back on the line with my other tabs, there is nowhere to type in my search. Can you please help?

Thank you so much! Blessings,

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

Hello community,

I couldn't find any information in google regarding my issue. I'm Polish and I'm using polish keyboard layout so when pressing ALT and a letter i get polish signs: ąłźć etc. But sometimes, only in firefox, CTRL starts to behaving strange, I can't use any shortcuts (CTRL+T, CTRL+C, CTRL+A etc) because CTRL starts to working like ALT and I get polish letters instead of selecting all text. ALT is still working like intended.

I don't know what triggers this and what makes it go away (it's not permament). When I started typing this it started to working correctly but it will return in some time. Im using 132.0 on Windows 11.

Greetings, I'm curious as to why, when working with passwords for websites and such, every time I click on one of the password entries I have saved in Firefox, which are many, when I back out it goes all the way back to the top instead of going back to where I was in the list like it should? Or at least like all others do... Also there is no date for when the entries were created like other browsers also have. In fact there's no other information at all nor is there a link to the site that the passwords are for. I find this very primative compared to other browsers.

I'm trying to clean things up in there as far as getting rid of old or duplicate entries because I've had a hard time logging into websites that I normally use because of the confusion with some of the entries. It seems like the old information is just bumped when I update passwords and this also seems like an issue that needs attention.

I don't experience these issues with either Chrome, Edge, or DDG however they are not quite ready to become my default browser as I've been using Firefox for a very long time compared to those ones and I have most of my saved info for all the sites I use with FF and trying to get any of the others up to where I am with FF would take a lot of work even with an automated import  to one of the others. 

On top of that I'm just more comfortable using FF because of how long I have been. I have some other issues I may have also posted about but it seems that my lack of fluffiness doesn't sit well with the fluffers who seem to respond with comments about how I word things and how much info I include, which is only meant to help someone who actually wants to help rather than critique my post structure and content and I don't understand why they even feel compelled to comment other than to be somewhat offensive with the intent to make it seem as though my posts are offensive.

In any sort of real world environment my posts would be totally acceptable and would get answers that were actually answers to my questions rather than rhetoric. If this one becomes more of the same with what I've just said, then possibly it will be time to do what I have to on order to become more familiar with a different browser and make it my default. 

I hope this will not be the case however I feel that I don't get proper support out of the communities and the actual Mozilla FF support seems to have vanished in lieu of this highly opinionated and subjectively oriented group of users, most of which have nothing to do with the development of the browser. I guess we will see...

I cannot log on to one particular forum account in Firefox. https://www.corvetteforum.com/

Other browsers work OK. In the past I could login fine. How do I correct this.
