Firefox gemenskapsforum

I click the Share Data button, and instead I get a complaint every time, that "We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps." I ain't falling for that no more, every time I click that manual steps thing, it blanks out everything I already typed, and when I come back I have to start over!

Anyway, how do I get that complaint to go away, and the details to appear in the Troubleshoot Information box like they ought to?

How do I get AOL Webmail working for default mailto again?

I used to have the AOL mail site as Firefox's default mail. Somehow when I opened up Thunderbird recently for something, it up and decided that it had to be my default for mail links in Firefox, too, I guess? Maybe something changed with a system update a while back, I'm not sure. In case Thunderbird really did decide to take over, and will do it again next time I open it, what's the setting in that to get it to stop doing that? What did I put wrong in there?

At any rate, I haven't liked the change.

I don't seem to be able to pick AOL from the Applications options in Firefox's settings, and when I pick to "use other", I get a dialog that'll only allow me to pick an application file, and won't allow putting in the URL for AOL Mail. I did not use a helper app before, and the extension I tried from the Firefox Add-ons site doesn't work right. It opens the AOL page, but doesn't even open a new mail compose page, let alone fill the email address I clicked on as it ought to.

I'm guessing this will take editing something in about:config, but I don't know what to put in there. What's the fix?

Version 128.0.3 (64-bit) What’s new Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint

When I visit a page which contains a Google Doc spreadsheet or try to open a Google Spreadsheet the page often fails to render properly and what I see is my desktop background instead of the Google doc element or Google doc sheet. Please see attached. This has been happening for ages and I resorted back to Chrome for such pages but now I'd like to see if it can be resolved.

Similar to this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440015. However, I installed Firefox this way https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions

Issue happens in both MX Linux and Linux Mint (Firefox 129.0, 64 bit)

I need to connect to my employers Citrix portal tot start a Citrix session for my daily job. The problem is that when try to login using my credentials nothing happens except for the loading icon of Firefox that keeps "spinning" (see image).

When I do the same in another browser, like Chromium for example, everything works fine.

I already tried the following steps:

- Installing an older version of the Citrix Workspace app - Reinstalling Firefox - Disabling the blocking extensions

I am using the following versions of components:

OS: Linux Mint Vanessa 21 Citrix Workspace app: 24.5.0.76 Firefox: 129.0

Other colleagues report the same issues when using Firefox whether in Windows of Linux.

Any help would be much appreciated?

Under privacy and security I'm able to remove cookies, but capital one shopping & their third party cookies reinstall themselves automatically. I am paying off my Capital One credit card and cancelling it, so I will be uninstalling their app on my cell phone. I've only visited their site once on my Linux PC, have never installed their app on it and I don't appreciate them tracking me here. Maybe Google linked my PC with my Pixel phone, I'll them a call also after paying off the CapitalOne card. Thanks, Claude Hansford Cochran

Hi. I got a new laptop some weeks ago (Linux Fedora) and I've been using Firefox without any problems until last week. When watching Youtube videos my system shell crashes completely. This problem ONLY happens with Youtube videos and Firefox. Other browsers work fine and I don't have this problem in other websites.

Recent crashes ID: bp-f6b555b9-0fbb-447d-a3b3-9f7ee0240818 bp-1fad31a3-0735-49dd-92ac-44e2d0240818 bp-19ae85a5-8bd3-4d3b-b366-f65a10240818 bp-7ca6ded3-871e-45ad-8351-f21c40240818 bp-88f4aca2-437b-45d1-8d7a-11a7c0240818 bp-ebb8ed44-af42-44c1-89f9-54b1f0240818 bp-3aa6e40e-467c-4c72-8373-b23e30240818

On different webpages i had the issue that when writing text an old, probably cashed, version of the text appears and my written text is hidden. It then raptly switches between the life and the cased version.

I have not really found a way to reproduce it only that it happens after a tab has been left in the background for some time.

Reloading does not help only opening the page in a new tab held bot only for a short amount of time. I definitively find out if add-ons affected it but it did not seam like it.

I also had similar issues on websites where you can draw, with the images flashing.

Any form of input seams to effect which version of the text is displayed.

I think this is a new feature that let's you add background wallpaper. I tried it out when I was signed out and it seemed to work. But after I signed in with my Firefox account it doesn't show up.

For the last 2 weeks I started having problems with Firefox working consistently. Sometimes only tabs crash, sometimes Firefox crashes. It is not tied to any actions, a tab can crash even if you don't perform any actions in the browser. I have tried clean install on Fedora and Vanilla OS, native and Flatpak packages. The result is always the same - tabs or Firefox crashes every few minutes.

I changed pwd for my firefox acc 2-3 month ago and after it I was logged in only on my laptop. One week ago I changed OS on my laptop and forgot that while U changed pwd U also logged off from all devices. So I cant reach my acc from my 2nd laptop and my phone cause I don't remember pwd. I only remember pwd what was before that one. So I restore it. And now I haven't my pwds, bookmarks, extensions etc. What I can do now? Can I restore all this things?

Can you (firefox dev team) team remove the fucking idiot features that auto my localhost domain to https? i typed 'localhost' and it's "https://localhost" i typed '127.0.0.1' and it's still "https:/127.0.0.1" i typed 'http://localhost' and it keep "https://localhost"

what the fucking idiot idea? i got that fucking isue over 2 years, through firefox and use chrome insteal, now i back with firefox but still got that fucking idiot thing?

Tell me how to fix the problem I described. I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon (21.3) on my two Dell Latitude laptops (E6420 & E6430) Another question regarding the Firefox browser is how to contact a insecure web site manager that I have no telephone number for. I shouldn't end the sentence that way.

I was wondering if it would be possible to make an extension or something that can change about:config values and provide an easy accessible menu to change specific settings that I need regularly.

For example, recently I am quite often setting network.http.redirection-limit to 0 because website keep redirecting me to login pages and that often helps preventing it. But having that set permanently is really annoying, so I have to visit about:config twice each time. Now if I could pin that setting in an easily accessible menu somewhere, that would be very neat.

When searching, I found that extensions could modify some browser settings but that seems to not include arbitrary about:config values.

Any tips and thoughts would be appreciated.

Dear friends,

Update on the question below. Attached you will find data about my system.

For a better understanding I have created this video. https://cloud.haller.family/s/Zyt9DFoCnFwtgn8

Description of the video: From the form I call up the homepage ostseesattel.com. Then I click on the guestbook form. Unfortunately you cannot see the pointer. There is no reaction.

Then I change the tab back and forth. Now the guestbook can be clicked on.

Why is that?

Kind regards Uwe

Dear friends,

I am using Firefox Browser 127.0.2 (64-bit) on a PC.

Sometimes it happens that an input field on a page in an IFRAME cannot be clicked. The buttons work, but you can't enter anything in the text field.

Only when I press in the address bar and then in the text field, now I can enter text in the text field.

Example page https://www.fantastic-food.ch Then click on the "Feedbacks" link.

Does anyone have an idea?

Kind regards Uwe
