Firefox Community Forum

I previously asked WHY I CANNOT open Firefox Private, and saw a reply that stated ALL Firefox is Now Private. Then WHY is there still a Firefox Private purple setting opening page I used to use, but now can no longer access?

I get this when I click through on an email from AliExpress... It's not the link as It works (Copy & Paste) in both Chrome & Edge.

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Recently Firefox has shown several incidents where its uddenly become 'obstructed' in some manner, with Error messages displaying that prevent my accessing Firefox and using it as it's supposed to be used. I'm not a technical person who can interpret these incidents, but when these incidents happen, out of the void, I've just tried to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox. I've somehow (seemingly) been able to ultimately reinstall Firefox after these incidents, but I'm wanting to know WHY these incidents are happening? Firefox doesn't give me any help here with this question, as far as I can see, so I'm wondering why these paralytic Error messages are happening, and what I'm supposed to do to keep Firefox functioning correctly, preventing this interference with the browser's functioning? Can anyone PLEASE HELP ME with this issue here, or even point me in the right direction? Thank you very much for any explanatory help you can provide. Merry Christmas (I hope!).

When we are going to get Library (Bookmarks) in this Firefox view tab (which doesnt have its local URL unlike Chrome)?

Like history (finally 😌) is in new tab unlike in new window (which is forced, not user managed), we need library for bookmark manager like Chrome or Edge has inbuilt. Even passwords aka logins category would be appreciated.

Seriously requesting this.

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

When importing logins and notes and URL from Chrome to Firefox, why the latter doesn't bring notes and read double URLs?

All of my notes are gone and if similar URLs are doubled.

Sharing one screenshot, since I cannot share another due to privacy (until a Mozilla dev team asks for it directly without sharing it on public platform).

How do I get rid of the requirement of having ctrl or alt in extension shortcuts? Also overriding firefox shortcuts would be nice.

I've been using my binds/shortcuts in chrome for years and I'm not adding multiple keys to all of them. I really want to use firefox as my only browser but can't because of these stupid restrictions.

I am having trouble setting up Two-step authentication.

After I scan the QR code and enter the code, I am presented with below error: Incorrect two-step authentication code

I first tried scanning the QR code using Microsoft Authenticator app, which did not work. I then tried scanning a new QR codeGoogle Authenticator app, which did not work. I then tried to manually enter the secret key into Google Authenticator app, which also did not work. I then tried scanning another new QR code with the Twilio Authy Authenticator app, which also did not work.

Can anyone help to resolve?

Thanks

I enter the primary password for saved password when starting FF as prompted. It takes password fine and works just fine on sites just as designed and has worked for years. Lately last couple weeks since last update to 132.0.1 I notice a change. I didn't notice before this update. When starting Firefox it asks for primary password which is normal, I enter it and all is fine. I can go to sites and all works fine, passwords and user id are entered when prompted. However, later in the day when I go to a site wanting password, I get the prompt to enter primary password again. That never use to happen, once I entered the primary password, it didn't prompt again unless Firefox was restarted. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it started and I just didn't notice some time ago. I know it wasn't that long ago the primary password prompt didn't have the little eye so you could see what you typed. I liked that, because FF for whatever reason wasn't always realizing I had the shift key pressed. Now with the eyeball I can see that it doesn't have what I typed, but that is not the problem I am asking about. Below is what Mozilla says about primary password:

Important: After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords. This also applies if you want to add, remove or show a password.

I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 on a Windows 10 desktop PC, with a profile which includes a userChrome.css file which makes several layout and cosmetic changes.

I also have a laptop (also Windows 10) which has an old Firefox 97.0.1 installation, and I'd like to make the same changes on this machine which I'm used to on the main computer. I copied my desktop profile to the laptop, to the same directory as its present profile, but when I rebooted Firefox the transferred profile wasn't recognised.

While doing the transfer I received error messages about some of the folders: Destination path too long. This despite the fact that the registry flag to accept extended paths is set to 1. I had to skip several folders in order to complete the transfer.

Could this be the reason why the new profile isn't being picked up? Or is it because the two Firefoxes are of different versions?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.

When I log in with one of my screen names on AOL, it shows me signed in under that screen name, but when I click to open the mail for that screen name, I am changed to another one of my screen names with only the mail showing for that account instead of the one I initially signed in on. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, cleared the cache, but the problem continues. I do not have this problem when I log in to AOL on Chrome with the same screen name. AOL technical support was unable to figure out how to fix this problem. I am using a brand new laptop with Windows 11 Pro. I do not have this problem with an older computer with Firefox.

Hey there. I just wanted to tell you thank you for your products, service to the people and for a vision that in my opinion plays fair with the opposing team. All throughout Some other terms of service, privacy policy and or websites are so many do not, can not and will not or off with ur head I disown you references but on Firefox the focus was primarily worded and geared towards keeping it's user's safe when online not baggering the act repeatedly or handing down judgments for acts done in situations not even God would judge. He could but doesnt or wont Didn't really belittle anyone or hostile condemn certain acts online cause where's the love in that. Anyways it's my belief that man's intent is generally good. A Badoutcome may be the result but his intent surly meant well even if it's In ways the average soul couldn't understand. I could go on and on but won't. Thanks again and please let us not forget he who created us. May the sun and moon shine favorably on all of God's people this day if it be his will to do so and it is cause I will it... he will it to. Head bump. I luv u and thank u for loving me to. In Jesus christ name I pray and hoot and Hollar Amen

Let peace be our greatest aim in his way :)
