Firefox Community Forum

As above, tablet freezes since latest update, by either Firefox or yahoo. Then I have to open up Chrome, go to same yahoo site to view the stuff I used to watch on Firefox. I'm a stock market trader, a glitch, freeze like this can cost me thousands, so Firefox is now unreliable for trading, where Chrome works. If this will load for you, is what I use, and then klik on one of the stock symbols should take you to a chart. Thanks for an otherwise really great platform, hate Chrome . Seasons Best

hi. i used only Firefox from Mozilla. can i delete this folder safetly? ~/library/application support/mozilla/native messaging host/com.apple.passwordmanager.json

I just noticed this as of a few minutes ago, & I'm not sure why it's there. I saw it as I was doing some research, & I didn't get kicked off line, or anything like that. I saved my links, & shut down Firefox, & then restarted it, with no problem. And I had no problem getting to this forum. Over the several years of using Firefox, I've never seen this before.

When I clicked on the warning icon, it took me to Mozilla Accounts, & then wanted me to download a recovery key???

The page disappeared, & then wanted me to sign back in, & then it refused my password three times! It reappeared, & then wanted me to "Synch", my phone, & PC, which I'm not going to do.

So,... What was/is this latest issue with Firefox about?

Internet search using a picture .. Works on Win 10 NOT Mint 22  ?? Whats the problem? .... I have changed to Mint 22 and use picture search when ever I get request on Facebook etc, to verify that the photo is of the real person etc, BUT under Firefox on Mint 22 when I right click on the picture the search option is not shown ... So .. have I set up Firefox incorrectly or is it an option I have to set some where please?

I use Firefox as my browser (have since it was first release many many years and computers ago). I'm not if this is an issue with other browsers.

I can print most pages on Amazon, but some special pages I can't print. Example, I initiated a Return and when it got to the confirmation page I can not print it to have a hard copy on hand. It will show two blank pages in print preview except for text header and footer (which are checked in options), but nothing else. It will not print anything except blank pages with the headers and footers. Cleared print settings in about:support, tried printing with system dialog, tried printing it to a PDF and even tried a couple FF addons with no luck.

Certain pages on Amazon seem to inject something to prevent printing. I remember running across something similar a while back on another site and gave up. I eventually just screenshot the Amazon return confirmation page and gave up.

How do I get around this and make the page print? Is there some way to force Firefox to print what it's showing me on the page? Is my only option to screenshot it and then print the image?

My home setup is such that I use PiHole for DNS (dual PiHoles). This includes doing DNS for my local network as well as black-hole for a bunch of Ad-serving domains. To get this to work with Firefox, I've gone through all the settings to turn off DNS over HTTPS (DoH). The documentation on this is in a multitude of places, and seems to have a lot of "this setting doesn't exist anymore" pointers, but I get it working... sort of.

Every few months (maybe every time Firefox updates?) Firefox stops seeing my local network names and starts showing ALL THE ADS. I go back through and LOOK AT THE SETTINGS (which ARE still set), but after LOOKING at the settings, it starts working as expected again for another however long. This has come to the point where I've stopped bothering to open Firefox when I need to get to my own network resources. DoH is already hard enough to turn off, but having to look it up every few months to "check" the settings so it's REALLY off is very difficult.

This has been going on for at least 8 months, and I'm only bothering to mention it now because I've noticed that I'm changing my habits, Goocrosoftle is winning.

So, MAYBE I'm still missing something. Half the articles point to settings that don't exist anymore, so maybe there's one more thing that will make this actually stick. Everything leading to the search HERE on this topic talks as if Firefox is still using the local machine's DNS, and that has not been the default for quite some time. Either way just adding my "inside." domain to the localdomains setting will not fix this problem.

Quite a few websites don't connect using firefox, but do with other browsers (eg my microsoft account itself). I think it's because I need to install some 'extension'. I installed the one I thought firefox support said I should, but still can't connect to some websites. What am I doing wrong or missing? I'm on latest Firefox and windows releases on a desktop.

This has been a problem for me for a very long time, and I'm tired of having to use chrome every time there's an update to firefox.

The issue I have is that I will get the notification saying there's an update. I click the button to update now, the browser opens the auto download page and I get a not secure connection warning. The only work around I've found is to use chrome, and sometimes I can use the "other downloads".

I'm not running a VPN, or any other networking software on my pc. This is for the full program, not the windows store app.

The menu bar keeps flashing about every 5-10 seconds. When it does it disrupts / interrupts whatever I'm typing, deleting everything I've typed when the flash occurs.

It also disrupts things like using a drop down menu. The menu is opened (aka dropped down) but when the flash occurs it collapses the drop down menu.

Also for example en typing; let's say I'm typing " Mary had a little lamb". After typing "Mary had a" the Menu bar flashes. When it does "Mary had a" gets deleted. As I continue to type not knowing "Mary had a" was deleted I look up and see all that's left is "little lamb".

It's constantly doing this even while typing this message / question.

If copy and pasting it'll clear the text I've chosen to copy so I have to go back and re-select it. And try to get it done quickly before the next flash occurs. But if the next flash occurs the same thing happens all over again.

I have no idea what's going on. Searched and searched and can't find anything. It's making Firefox almost impossible to use. Please help me?!

I'm using Firefox version 115.18.0esr It is up to date.
