I'm using Firefox 129.01 (64-bit), trying to log in to my Tufts Health Plan account, and get a security warning (screen shot attached). Customer Service at Tufts Health Plan tells me that I should use Chrome.

Should I ignore the Warning and proceed?

Basically i was on instagram and i couldnt save the webpage of the suggestion profiles on someones profile so i decided instead to copy each of the suggestion profiles and paste them into gmail where i sent the email to my self, opened it in a new tab and saved the webpage as an htm file but now the image links attached to the urls and the plain text are broken making it impossible to view the images tide to each url any help of how to fix the broken images would be much help

I type something in Firefox, say "mice". A Google search string appears in the address bar, but it is greyed out, and nothing else happens. I have to go to that bar and hit Return to get to the search results. After this has happened once, everything appears to work as expected until I close the browser. On reopening, the problem has returned.

Whenever I try to sign into any website via my Google account, it takes me to a blank white popup that I cannot interact with (I can only close it). I've tried clearing my cookies, which almost works - it does the proper Google popup and lets me input my username and password, but I don't actually get signed in - and when I try to sign in again the popup is blank. This also happens in troubleshooter mode, so my extensions probably aren't what are causing this problem. Does anyone have any idea what's happening? Thanks in advance.

A few days ago, on Firefox (been using for many years) middle clicking on a YouTube thumb nail video results in an "Video unavailable This content isn’t available" message. Must left click and and can only have one tab open at a time. Even when my wife emails me a link to see something on You Tube it will not open that video. This is very annoying involving copy and pasting and back tracking.

Searching for a solution, I can deselect video previews in YouTube settings (which I don't need anyway), however this only works in Chrome not in Firefox which is my preferred browser.

Maybe this can be corrected in either a Firefox or YouTube update.

Dear Sir, dear Madame, I have been using the DeepL Pro web translator for a few months now, and it worked without any problems for the first few weeks! But from one day to the next it crashed regularly and often. and it was impossible to work with it. The DeepL support team tried very hard, but they couldn't find any errors! However, they did point out that another application might be interfering. That's when I thought about all the Firefox updates. Could it be that one of the updates loaded something that DeepL doesn't like? It's just a guess, but no one could give me other explanation!

So I ask you to check if this assumption is true! You are my last resort! Best regards, Peter Prokesch

How do you get your files saved as html and not htm someone said they found a file of /etc/mime.types

and had to change htm html shtml to

html htm shtml in order for wep pages to be now saved as html

the mimetypes assoication is found in mimetypes.rdf which is now apparently handlers.json

i cant find however htm html shtml so i can change it

another link also said this can be found through firefox, tools, options

but i dont see options after selecting tools

someone plese help me

Firefox 129.0.1 Windows 10 22H2 (19045.4780)

I uninstalled WhatsApp desktop and deleted handlers.json, but when I click the "Join chat" button on chat.whatsapp.com, Firefox still ask me if I want to open with WhatsApp desktop.

Is this a default behaviour? If not, how can I fix this? Thanks.

When the question popped up asking if I wanted to install the new Firefox software, I thought it was just some minor changes. But this is a completely new software and it's made changes that mess up other how my reports look and can be changed. I want to take it completely off of my computer. What do I need to do?

Hi there,

I'm new here so please bear with me if I've posted in the wrong place or have missed something obvious.

I running Windows 10, fully updated, on a laptop. I have been using Firefox browser now for many years, suits my needs and avoid's using Goolges Chrome. My Firefox was updated a in the last few days and it shows as up to date on Version 129.0.1 64bit.

I noticed late last night that when opening a fresh window and enter a search term in either the address bar or the Google search bar, my usual choice of search engine, I hit return and nothing happens. Any text I've input disappears totally. Not at all sure what's going on but have found that if I open a new private window Firefow will act as I'd expect without any issues.

I have two other browsers on my laptop, Edge and also Avast's own offering which both work as expected when I enter a search term. Have never experienced this before with the exception of years ago when malware protection wasn't great. It almost seems as though something is just stopping Firefox from searching anything I enter. I can use the bookmarks just fine and then everything works as usual.

Yesterday I thought that maybe following the new windows culmulative updates I was offered and apparently installed just fine, that I needed to restart which a tried and I thought it had cured the issue. Seems that it hasn't and still having the same issue.

Any idea's or thought's on what the cause of this is?

My firefox frequently, several times a week, locks it configuration information and that of the add ins. One of the symptoms of this is a number of sites will not let me enter passwords. I also use "Update Scanner" add-in and when the sites that I am monitoring do not show up in the sidebar, I know that it has happened again.

The only way that I have found to fix it, other than a clean install after deleting all vestiges of of it on the computer and registry etc. Is to Enter Troubleshoot Mode and then use the options to Refresh, and Refresh again. I then have to configure everything else from the settings page and the configure toolbar.

I have started up in troubleshoot mode, removed all addins, done clean installs, Yet I still have the problem. I am sure that the problem something with my computer setup. As I have other machines that do not have this problem.

I would like to get some guidance of ways to figure this out.

I run win10 pro 64 bit. The latest version of Firefox 129.01 has caused my Accuweather Premium program to stop working. When I go to log in the program doesn't respond. I have deleted my cache,data and cookies. I've removed the Accuweather URL. I've uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox and restarted my computer. All my other web apps work. I've spent 2 days working with Accuweather tech support, but they're out of ideas. They say it must be your browser. It worked until this latest update. I've prevented my laptop from accepting this latest update because it still works on the laptop,which is configured the same way as my desktop. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve Toher
