Firefox is not responding in one of my admin accounts. No problem with the other admin account.

This occured after installing Firefox 127.0.2. I restarted my iMac to complete the installation. Upon opening the admin account Firefox was not responding.

Thanks for your input in advance. My current email address is gellertr@socal.rr.com

I click the Share Data button, and instead I get a complaint every time, that "We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps." I ain't falling for that no more, every time I click that manual steps thing, it blanks out everything I already typed, and when I come back I have to start over!

Anyway, how do I get that complaint to go away, and the details to appear in the Troubleshoot Information box like they ought to?

How do I get AOL Webmail working for default mailto again?

I used to have the AOL mail site as Firefox's default mail. Somehow when I opened up Thunderbird recently for something, it up and decided that it had to be my default for mail links in Firefox, too, I guess? Maybe something changed with a system update a while back, I'm not sure. In case Thunderbird really did decide to take over, and will do it again next time I open it, what's the setting in that to get it to stop doing that? What did I put wrong in there?

At any rate, I haven't liked the change.

I don't seem to be able to pick AOL from the Applications options in Firefox's settings, and when I pick to "use other", I get a dialog that'll only allow me to pick an application file, and won't allow putting in the URL for AOL Mail. I did not use a helper app before, and the extension I tried from the Firefox Add-ons site doesn't work right. It opens the AOL page, but doesn't even open a new mail compose page, let alone fill the email address I clicked on as it ought to.

I'm guessing this will take editing something in about:config, but I don't know what to put in there. What's the fix?

my Firefox was working just fine, and I did an update this morning and now nothing works. My Firefox will not install and nothing that works with Firefox will work. I tried to uninstall the Firefox that I had and it doesn't even show up on the list of programs any more, so I can't do an uninstall.

Hi,

In the older Firefox version (92), I could instantly open JNPL files by selecting "Open with Default Use JAVA (TM)". However, in the latest Firefox version 127, while the option is still available, it doesn't instantly open JNPL files. Every time I have to click to open the JNPL file.

In the Add Bookmark menu that is accessed from the address bar, the field for adding a keyword shortcut is absent. This is the same menu that is accessed by Ctrl + D. It's ironic that the menu accessed via a keyboard shortcut is missing the field for adding a keyboard shortcut.

"Tags" field is present on all, but I find it orders of magnitude less useful than keywords.

Dear friends,

Update on the question below. Attached you will find data about my system.

For a better understanding I have created this video. https://cloud.haller.family/s/Zyt9DFoCnFwtgn8

Description of the video: From the form I call up the homepage ostseesattel.com. Then I click on the guestbook form. Unfortunately you cannot see the pointer. There is no reaction.

Then I change the tab back and forth. Now the guestbook can be clicked on.

Why is that?

Kind regards Uwe

Dear friends,

I am using Firefox Browser 127.0.2 (64-bit) on a PC.

Sometimes it happens that an input field on a page in an IFRAME cannot be clicked. The buttons work, but you can't enter anything in the text field.

Only when I press in the address bar and then in the text field, now I can enter text in the text field.

Example page https://www.fantastic-food.ch Then click on the "Feedbacks" link.

Does anyone have an idea?

Kind regards Uwe

I am noticing this for months if not years. Automatic update never works, first it claims that FF restart is required to install the update but when invoked FF never restarts automatically. Alternatively if FF is closed without invoking restart subsequent manual launch never starts the browser. Only the second manual launch opens the browser window which takes a small portion of the upper left corner of the screen and there's no Maximize button - instead the button is Restore and upon clicking the small window moves beyond the upper right corner of the screen putting the maximize button out of reach. So I have to somehow grab the title bar and move it to the view so I can finally maximize the window - very annoying. Upon checking the FF version remains the same, no update occurred. Invoking another update results in endless notification Updating FF. At some point there's a notification that I have to update FF manually by downloading an installer etc. This goes on and on over and over. Could this mean my FF is hijacked?
