I have been using container tabs to juggle my corporate and personal github accounts. Until very recently, clicking a link from another app (email, etc) would start to open a new tab and then pop up a dialog asking me to confirm which container to use (see first attachment).

Unfortunately, now when I click on links it just loads straight to my "OSS github" container, which naturally produces a 404 error because my personal github account doesn't have access to the corporate repo (see second attachment).

At first, I thought I had accidentally clicked the "remember my decision" box. But the confirmation dialog still works if I open a new tab and paste the link in the address bar. It just doesn't work when other apps try to open a link in Firefox.

Is the new behavior intentional? Or did something accidentally break?

I have been getting this constantly despite Chrome never having this issue. I have searched for resolutions and there are people years back with the same issue. People seem to point to the internet provider as the issue but when browsing on chrome this error doesn't come up constantly, and daily. What can I do here?

Hy guys,

Since two weeks, I can't join anymore Google Calendar or Message ... or else, without signing in with the full process (through my mobile), even with 5 minutes of deconection.

Is it possible to reconnect without the sign in process?

Thank you in advance,

François

Lately most times when Firefox updates it wipes my tabs and I have to rebuild them because backing up the tabs won't work so I got in the habit of going to bookmarks and reloading them from there. Today it not only won't automatically open my tabs but won't let me even load most hand selected tabs. I have been using Mozilla, Netscape Navigator since the early days with no other problems except this. I have been using Avast Premium Security on windows 10 and it reports no problems. I will have to check one of my Linux machines because Firefox won't open the tab for Hotmail. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks lougervais333@hotmail.com

Firefox in an enterprise environment. AppAutoUpdate=1 and BackgroundAppUpdate=1 My goal is to have PC's automatically update so Tennable Vul Scan doesn't go critical every other week. This is affecting most of the PC's as far as I can tell in our environment. If the user actually opens Firefox and uses it, that appears to resolve the issue.

Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\Mozilla\Firefox Background Update 308046B0AF4A39CB" , instance "{e8f86ec1-b3c9-4591-ad09-3bb858dece98}" , action "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with return code 2147942421.

It's my understanding that this operation should be handled by Mozilla Maintenace Service and should be able to update in the background every 7 hours if the browser is not opened.

Couldn't find this return code associated with Firefox so I'm hoping the pros here have some insight!

Manually pushing the installer is time consuming and like many companies who like to use Firefox as an alternative browser not running Chromium and/or for their IT dept I'm considering removing it from the environment due to the background updates being difficult compared to Chrome. Chrome has the force restart, etc for GPO.

I don't know how to put it into words that well, but, it's as if my Firefox is just a clickable picture. If I try to use the search engine, it won't let me search, just put words in. If I try to open the menu, I can't, I can only click on the three lines with no pop-up. I can't use my addons, I can't even open another tab. I've tried opening other windows, restarting my computer, leaving it off for a while, and letting it stay on for hours, but it still isn't working. I tried running the updater, but It won't run. I tried running the maintenance service, same outcome. I don't want to delete Firefox because I fear that my account didn't probably sync some important things. I don't know what to do, this all happened after an update. Here's a video of what's going on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PBpoHDn29gUp2mCK8I38V4oPwsXRwL0r/view?usp=sharing

Recently on line viewing panda webcams (thinking I was at zoo in California). Unfortunately, China and Japan both picked up during this viewing. I am no longer able to simply delete cookies - due to constant updates. I have attempted to delete them - following asst., information that is available. I am 82 years old - and not that savy with a lot of the computer instructions on line.

ANY suggestions and/or help - appreciated more than you know.

recently when I try to make changes to my account or to use autofill to fill in my credit card info, it is not accepting my password and keeps telling me it is wrong. I have checked in my settings and it is correct. I try to follow the instructions that are provided to fix this and it will not allow me to.

I am using a 2017 iMacPro with OS 13.6.9 and Firefox 132.01. Youtube will not open in my browser anymore. When I type youtube.com into the browser window, it takes me to an error page that says:

This account is not yet eligible to use YouTube. Read https://support.google.com/a/answer/9000768 for more information.

If we cannot fix this issue, I will stop using Firefox and switch entirely to Chrome.

The bank I use, requires a Username and a PW AND a number generated from what they call a token and I call a dongle. For the last while, on Firefox, I can get in. No problem, The moment I get the 'pay a beneficiary' screen I am 'chucked off' as it has 'timed out'. Second logon goes fine and I have no further problems. If I change the browser, so NOT Firefox, (and not Chrome) no problem at all. Not chucked off. I have used the internet bank and system for years, withe Firefox. Firefox is my browser of choice (it's a long story), so I'd like to continue. The bank's could-not-care-less attitude was 'use Chrome'. 1.I dislike Chrome & 2.How can my bank dictate what browser I use?

Hello, I have an issue while trying to log in to my Firefox account on another PC. Password is correct, authorization code sent to my email is correctly entered too. When I submit the code the login forms returns error message "Invalid authorization code". What's the problem?

Hello,

In summary, I am a total beginner and just need help making the right-click menu appear properly on sites and such like it used to before I screwed up some random setting.

If that's not doable, then could I get some help to try and see if I can restore a backup of older FireFox settings that predate my messing up the settings or something?

Basically, I was exploring various settings in-browser in FireFox and at some point somehow changed something that suddenly prevented the right-click menu from appearing when I right-click on anything.

I also was changing things in the settings of an extension called "Sideberry" that I use to organize tabs, so whatever I changed that is stopping me from right-clicking properly might be in that extension's settings rather than in the normal browser settings; I am not sure.

I tried changing "Use native context menu" (in Sideberry settings) from off to on and vice-versa, but turning it to be on just prevents me from seeing the extension-specific right-click menu when I right-click in Sideberry. It doesn't make the normal browser right-click menu that you get when right-clicking websites themselves come back.

Thank you very very much in advance! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Cannot watch Spectrum TV on line Keep getting message Channel Unavailable Reference Code WLP-4005 but not sure why this is happening I can go to Microsoft edge and am able to watch it there but prefer to use Mozilla can you help

I have been using Firefox to login to sites for years with no problems.

Within about the last 7 days I have been unable to use Firefox for some of these sites. I input the sign ins and password and the details vanish and the page reverts to asking for log in details. Normally the sites would request a 'phone call after 3 false attempts, but this is not happening.

I have had to go to Microsoft Edge as that allows me to log in as usual

Please can you help?

I'm setting up a cloud-init to make it easier to deploy Linux workstations. I want to display the various links to my sites on my Firefox browser. Bookmark my services. Do you think this is possible? I've already applied a rule to retrieve certificates, but it seems complicated for bookmarks.

Here's an extract  :

{

 "policies": {
   "Bookmarks": [
     {
       "Title": "Main",
       "URL": "https://service.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 1",
       "URL": "https://service1.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 2",
       "URL": "https://service2.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Documentation",
       "URL": "https://docs.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     }
   ]
 }
