I can't share any files, but rather than saving to my downloads folder, I've found the app is downloading to the folder I had intended to move the files to. The issue is that the naming structure of the files is based on the week/day. So if it's Monday of the first week of the month, it would be Mon-1. When downloading another Mon-1 to the downloads folder, I'd get Mon-1(1), which is exactly what I want. When I use my file browser to move them, it also renames the new file to Mon-1(1), perfect. If I download Mon-1 and this issue occurs, Mon-1 will overwrite the existing Mon-1 in my reports folder. Now I have reports from all different months in my January section with January just about wiped from my phone. I have changed everything but Firefox and the phone and the issue still occurs, so I can only assume it's either an android issue or a Firefox issue.

I want to inform you about something. My favorite browser is firefox, but firefox has a big problem. When you go to another app and come back to where it was in the firebox, it disappears. It is a big problem. Change the update. I have posted a video below.

Firefox is constantly (in some cases up to 12 x per incident) showing a pop up window asking for permission (allow or deny, until quit or forever etc) to connect to a website or address. Example: at website even when allowed forever it begins all over again when click further down the page or go to another page. Using a Mac os catalina and latest firefox.

thanks for any help

I am trying to sign into my local bank account using Firefox. I am getting a 502 BAD GATEWAY . It was working okay before Nov 1st.

I can access bank account with Chrome and my Cell phone.

hi, ive been using reading mode and noticed that both in html and in reading mode, several chinese characters are missing. i checked wikipedia's multilingual support and got this result. any help? i get an encoding error like this: 𰵕 and 𰪱.

i've downloaded all language fonts, i've checked my prefs.js, any other actions i can take?

I can't add some add-ons: - Norton Password Manager - Tab Session Manager - To Google Translate - Undo Close Tab

After installation 131.0.3 I lost all my add-ons except : ESET Browser Privacy & Security Firefox Color

I also do not have any add-on icons on the toolbar except built-in functions as: send to pocket, history, account, private window and so on.

Suddenly I do not get any result when seaching allthough I know there are a person with thw name or a topic. I have used Thunderbird for a long time and very often used the search facility. But not now :-(

Some web site developers abuse functionality built into web browsers, apparently in an attempt to be more annoying, and most often as a very aggressive form of advertising.

A classic example of this is DeviantArt who track the location of your mouse pointer on a page to pop up irritating little suggestions which prevent you clicking on a link or even seeing it. eBay are bad for this sort of nonsense too.

An example on DeviantArt is when viewing a new 'deviation' (piece of art), sometimes/often, if you should choose to click on the 'deviant' name (basically the person who posted it), a 'tip' will pop up which completely obscures the link you were about to click suggesting "No-one's commented yet. Be the first!". It happens an awful lot and it's infuriating, but DeviantArt use this technique all throughout their site tracking your pointer to pop up annoying hints and suggestions as you navigate the site.

Now I don't see why sites should feel entitled to know where my mouse pointer is as I move it about a page.

The only time my pointer location matters as far as I am concerned is when I choose to either left or right click on something. Even then, it is what I have left/right clicked on, not it's location on the page, which matters.

I don't wish for the pointer location to be continuously relayed to the website.

Clearly it is a functionality which is built into both the site and the browser that it tracks your pointer, sending a steady stream of position data to the host site.

I wish to be able to prevent that.

If I were using a touchscreen device there would be no mouse pointer they could spy on yet the sites which abuse this functionality cope just fine with that when I view them on my handheld touchscreen devices.

I wish for Firefox to have the functionality to stop this steady stream of mouse pointer coordinates being given to the host site.

How is it possible to do this please ?

Many thanks!

Why do I keep getting a never ending spinning wheel when I try to purchase an item using my credit card online? I am using Windows 10 OS. My credit card is valid with no restrictions or credit issues. Never had an issue before this. Seems like this started happening right after Nov. 1st, 2024. The transaction never reaches the credit card company and no transaction is decline by the credit card company. As a matter of fact they never receive any attempt to purchase any item using my credit card. The spinning wheel never stops and gives me no reason why I can't connect to the provider that the credit card company is using.I'm baffled. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am running Firefox for Mac OSX. On newsites, especially, pages reload automatically before I've finished. How do I stop Firefox from auto-reloading pages? Thanks.

I have Thunderbird connected to a number of providers including hotmail and OVH, all configured for IMAP. OS = Linux Mint

Everything was working fine until I installed the upgrade to 128.4 offered by the Linux Mint update manager.

Since then it takes a very long time to even send a simple email with CPU usage going up to or even over 100% (multi-cores). Even in normal usage with nothing happening Thunderbird is using 25% of the CPU.

The sending process often times out giving a message that says the connection was lost to the SMTP server.

microsoft update killed your audio with blocking asio.sys audio works with both chrome and edge, but blocking asio.sys killed your audio only. are you going to develop a fix for this, or do i abandon you for the other guys?

I have no idea why, but all of a sudden Twitch streams won't work on Firefox. It's only affecting Twitch because I can load YouTube and other streaming sites fine, and it's only on Firefox because it works fine on Chrome. I tried clearing my cache and cookies, disabling all add-ons and extensions, and restarting my device. Nothing works. The only indication that I have of what the issue might be is a message in the browser console that says this:

NetworkError: A network error occurred. addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

   <anonymous> blob:https://www.twitch.tv/addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

From what I can tell, the blob is where the browser loads the stream itself. Every stream I've tried to load gives me this error.

UPDATE: I was able to fix it by clearing the cache.

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.

I often wake up my machine and immediately click "get messages" to see what's new. Often when I do this my request is blocked because the trash or some other folder is being compacted. This is annoying.

Why must tbird choose to compact just when I am trying to do something? Couldn't it do compaction and other such housekeeping in the background, when it would otherwise be idle?

For a month or so after last updates is getting impossible to work with firefox. It's is getting sluggish with 3-4 open tabs after few minutes, I can't do anything, have to close all windows and open again. Even to text this for got ridiculous slow, I have only 5 addons enabled, I had 10 before but for testing disabled all others. now only have ublock origin, disconect, ad-block, blocktube, and facebook container. If I open youtube, facebook and a google searching page and start to use, after few minutes everything goes very very slow, if to type something. What's going on ? Also there's like 12 firefox tabs on task manager, taking a lot of processing and memory. Already scanned with antivirus, and it's clean. Intel i7-6700T 16gb ram, SSD, Radeon R7-M370 it's a HP AIO 27-p010xt-CTO. And is not because it's an old machine on my new laptop happens the same, and I went online and there's a lot of people saying the same.
