Hi everybody and thanks for support in advance.

I can no longe log in and open my vodafone account (emails) with Firefox. Vodavone tells me to try another browser, it works fine with Microsoft Edge. I still want to use Firefox, what can I do?

Thank you and kind regards.

WHEN I DOWNLOADED A PDF FILE IT WAS AUTOMATICALLY SAVED AT FILE DOWNLOADS. MAYBE I ACCIDENTALLY PRESS SOMETHING AND NOW WHEN I PRESS DOWNLOAD IT OPENS THE FILE AT A NEW TAB. TELL ME HOW TO FIX IT PLEASE

i have recently acquired a new PC and want to transfer all my Firefox settings to the new PC and have two questions:- (1) What file and what location do I post the file for Homepage shortcuts which involves 4 rows x 8 = 32 shortcuts that I want to transfer to the new PC without having to do it manually. Apparently Sync wont do it for some reason that I fail to comprehend. By searching this site I have found answers that say the file "prefs.js" hold these values. However, I have copied that file from my old PC onto the new PC but no result? Where should the file be copied from and to (full path from and to)? i have used "about:profiles" but then there are paths to "default" and "root". (2) I have exported the the Bookmarks from my old PC to the new PC but in one particular case the bookmarks are not the same. In this case I have a particularly large bookmark that contains three (3) Sub-Folders plus many individual bookmarks. When importing the file it does not include all the sub-folders - only two. This baffles me because if is exported with three sub-folders I don't understand how the imported Bookmark file can be different. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Why I cannot disabling this any fucking of firefox shortcuts it's a fucking shit opening stupid fonction every time I'm hit fucking ctr function open new tab or closing actual tab or open html code on actual webpage, why it's always fucking programmer decide what opening function without freely disabling this fucking stupid function? I want to work with a mouse not wit fucking keyboard. When will be able to work freely with firefox et stop to add and add and add more function?

Hi there-

On my current Dell laptop (Windows 11) I have had a recurring issue with Firefox wherein any time two sounds play at the same time (say, a Youtube video is playing in the background and I have a sound play in a browser game) it makes one of the audio channels cut out for about a second. This issue only happens with Firefox, and I previously fixed this by changing the bitrate in my audio output settings. However, after an update, this issue has returned, and the bitrate settings I was using that were able to fix this issue now doesn't allow me to play audio on Firefox at all. So now I have no way to avoid the strange bug that causes audio to cut out.

I would love some advice- is this on Firefox's end, or my computer's? Is there a driver I could install or something to avoid this bug? What causes it?

Cheers, Noa

Hi,

I've been wanting to switch from Chrome to Firefox for the longest time, but I can't do it since surround audio doesn't seem to be supported natively in Firefox. I'm using a Logitech G733, with "Surround Audio" activated in GHub, and on Chromium based browsers, it works, I hear it when watching Youtube videos, Twitch streams..., but on Firefox, it defaults to stereo audio. I haven't been able to find any settings related to audio in Firefox, nor in the concerned websites. Is it a known issue ?

Tengo 2 perfiles para cuentas de correo distintas. He configurado Firefox para que al reiniciar se abran las últimas pestañas abiertas, sin embargo esto no funciona al abrir cada perfil. Alguna solución ?

This only happens when i switch back to FF desktop on win11. FF desktop on win 11 FF running and is not in focus when i hit Windows + 2 (2 is my setting for FF on the task bar), FF comes to the foreground in focus BUT IT ALSO SWITCHES TO TAB1. I cant get it to stay on the tab i was on last. I don't see the setting for that. Again this only happens with i use the WIN + taskbar digit that represents FF. Nic

I need to use one website that has an out of date certificate. I found out about adding the hostname to security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts in about:config.

However, Firefox keeps clearing that setting when I'm not looking, sometimes in the same session! How can I make it persist?

I have changed my settings in Firefox to have Firefox the default when computer opens but it still opens with MSN which I don't want. Every time I go into settings even after re-boot it still shows to start with MSN . I change it again and same thing over and over.

thanks for any help and I have a feeling I have to delete firefox and re-install but worried all my links and bookmarks ect will go away.

Ed - Thanks for that thread. Since I posted my question originally (and can't find where just now) I did try one add-on called STOP AUTO RELOAD by kgersen and I'm trying that. I couldn't understand how to add the particular address I wanted to use it on, but it's helping on FB without having entered FB's addy. Most of the time it stops the refresh. If I leave it too long tho, when I come back it does refresh, but at least it isn't refreshing while I'm trying to read it. The annoying blue label "refresh" still comes on my page, but I ignore it.

I miss being able to chose which language to translate to on a per-site basis AND the browser remember that setting. If you want to permanently translate to a specific language you have to change the preferred display language for all websites as I understand it. Actually it would suffice to be able to set a standard language to translate to, but independent of the preferred display language.

I know Firefox Translate is still Beta so perhaps this important enhancement is in the pipeline?
