Forum Bashkësie Firefox

I am lost. Not a computer savvy guy. I am very old guy. How do I download the latest version of Firefox. and what does it look like. That is what are its numerical designations. Thanks, Jim

Hello, I don't know what is happening. I cannot use the search bar on safeway.com site. All my account information is present including my past purchases, my account info, and all settings. BUT, it will not allow me to search any product. When I type Eggs, I get a message that says there is no search results for Eggs and to check my spelling. I have talked with Safeway customer support 4 times and they don't have a solution but for me to clear cache and temp files. I have done that dozens (not exaggerating) times and the problem persists. Please help. The idea to use Edge or Chrome are not something I choose to use.

The issue is I do not have "Pictures" highlighted under the "Insert" menu. However, I do have "Attach file" which I did but once attached to the email I cannot drag the picture into the text and scale it as in the past.

When I try to insert/drag the picture into the text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: Filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears at the very top of the display.

"Link", "Pictures", "Emoji", and "Table" are all not hi-lighted. Do not know why???

Says Firefox is up to date!

I have tried to resolve this issue recently with no results.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ref: The article thread started at: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1481513]

Issue: The issue raised in this article thread was answered with the suggestion to re-ask over at Mozilla Connect, which I did.

When I looked at my account in greater detail, it appears that every single article submitted there is still "awaiting moderation" - most of which have been awaiting moderation for years.

I wanted to send a private message to the moderators over there, but there appears to be no username "moderator" or "moderators" and I don't know the name of any specific individuals to message.

I hesitate to post this question there as yet another "idea" because it will likely sit in the moderation queue unanswered.

Question: What can I do to ask the administrators/moderators for that set of forums for assistance in getting articles out of the moderation queue?

Thanks again for all your help!

Note: This is also an accessibility issue as those of us with limited or impaired motor control can be inordinately affected in a way that limits our use of Firefox or makes it virtually impossible to use in any use-case more complex than browsing YouTube.

Issue: There are certain, pre-defined, keyboard shortcuts within Firefox whose action is both immediate and irrevocable. Those of us who have limited, or impaired, motor control are particularly susceptible to this, though I have heard anecdotal evidence that other - unimpaired - users suffer from this as well.

Example: There is a particular key combination that I periodically, (accidentally), hit while typing that immediately and irrevocably clears the dialog that I am entering text into - as I am doing here - with no possibility of recovery and no warning that a potentially disastrous action is about to take place.

My specific case, (that is, the most recent instance of my specific case), occurred last night while composing a reply to a topic within the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum addressing a particular, and popular, issue with the sim.

I spent a significant amount of time creating this message - setting paragraph formatting, creating tables, inserting images, carefully crafting the text and such like, that had taken me upwards of an hour to prepare.

While typing - I managed to inadvertently hit a magical "Nuke-and-Destroy" key combination that caused all my lengthy, careful, painstakingly crafted work to immediately vanish with no chance of recovery.

To this very day I still have no idea what combination of keys does this - and if I knew, I would try to suppress it at the keyboard/system level so that Firefox never sees it.

When I searched for a solution to this problem, I found the following article on this site: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1364260]

In essence, (though it was worded much more politely), the answer was that Mozilla knows about the issue of potentially undesirable "magic" key combinations, has no plans to address it, and if you don't like it it just vacuums being you.

Though this particular key combination might be useful in certain cases, (though I cannot imagine what use-case would benefit from accidentally destroying hours of work), the utterly irrevocable nature of the action - and the absolute lack of any warning whatsoever - makes this a classic case in the annals of horrid user interface design; to the point of being a functional bug even though it works as designed.

A more desirable action would be to:

1. Allow it to be disabled entirely, along with the other potentially annoying/disastrous keyboard shortcuts.
2. Provide a (default) action that warns the user that this action is both immediate and irrevocable and allowing the (default) option to abort the action. Extra credit: Allow the user to permanently disable the offending feature from the dialog.
3. In the unlikely event that a particular user might wish to use this regularly and deliberately, allow the user to bypass the warnings and permanently enable the feature - with the caveat that it vacuums being them if they do something wrong - not unlike the disclaimer when accessing about:config.

I would suggest that this action, and the action of other "magic" keys/key-combinations within Firefox represents a significant burden to those of us who may already be struggling to use a keyboard. Perpetuating this class of issue, especially since it's a known issue and there's no desire whatsoever to accommodate those of us negatively affected by it, borders on both arrogance and ableism.

I would like to humbly place this request at the feet of whomever is responsible for this atrocious policy and earnestly request they reverse this unpleasant and destructive behavior.

Respectfully submitted: Jim Harris.

I can not get rid of the pink background in the address bar, search box or background space of yahoo mail. I can not find the revert to default theme as previous post from several years ago suggested as a solution.

Hi, Somehow I managed to turn off automatic updates or something, because I am have been way out of date. I just checked and it my laptop or mozilla support is telling me I just updated to 113 two weeks ago. Well, that seemed to be the latest update I could get. Now I have just seen that there is mozilla up to something like 123 or 132 or some such. I got the 113 from google store, and I am still getting messages that my laptop is out of date and I need to update it. Can someone please tell me where to get the latest updates and how to go about installing them safely, or how I can turn on automatic updates...I am using Linux mint and that is probably also out of date, but seems to work.

I have Firefox 133.0.3 (64 Bit) on my new Win 11 computer. I see on the main Firefox page there is an area "Thought Provoking Stories." Can that be eliminated? I don't want a bunch of things like that cluttering it up.

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Like probably a Lot of you I don't support the unethical So-called "Forced-obsolescence" and am not planning to "upgrade" Microsoft every 18 months or so for the next 90 years on each on Every single family Computer and give in to their Scare tactics for financial, environmental and Ethical reasons.

I am currently running Firefox "Extended Support," or ESR, I think it's called. Was wondering, If I ever **DO** decide to upgrade our bloatware Spyware operating system(s), basically if they break enough Apps like Apple Likes to do to force an upgrade, how difficult or easy would it be to Migrate from ESR to the latest regular version of Mozilla/Firefox...with all my Settings, etc. still in place?

Is there somebody to answer my questions please? For a first site, it is impossible to have the PDF document when clicking the button. For a second, when I click to the "buy tickets" button, it doesn't work. What's wrong with the Firefox navigator????????????? Thank you.
