I-Firefox Community Forum

Even though I have reinstalled Firefox twice, and each time set it as my default browser, every time Iog on to Windows I am presented with a screen asking me to set Firefox as my default browser. It is listed as my default browser in : (1) in the browser itself under Settings, and in (2) Windows Settings / Default Apps. How can I get rid of this reminder screen every time I log into my computer?

For several days I'm not able to log in at Facebook. Without login I can easily open Facebook from results via Google searches. The problem are seen when I try to log in using latest Firefox. Can log in via Chrome and Edge. Tried to disable all extensions but the problem persist. Using Samsung Browser in tablet works fine as well.

See attachment, where error is illustrated. It says: This page is not avaible right now. It is caused by a technical issue and we are working on a solution. Try to reload the page

Hope for some help here....

Firefox (on one of my Windows computers) has begun hanging up during loading of video articles (such as news services, CNN, CBC, etc.). If I refresh page the video article will occasionally load. Often not. Have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Did not help. Have another Windows laptop and there is no problem loading video content on that device. In addition occasionally Firefox will hang up just loading an assortment of websites, though this does not occur with the regularity of the non-load of individual video news articles. Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

I'm talking about the built in "AI Overviews" for Google search. When the mouse is anywhere over the search content it provides, the page will not scroll until I move below it, or to the scroll bar.

I just realized it does not occur in Chrome, as far as I can tell. The Chrome search does not show the AI indicator on top.

The best you get is an occasional slight single jumping motion with a mouse wheel scroll anywhere withing the boundaries of that straight line just below the search field, the straight line below "Show More", and the inner border of the scroll bar

I cannot log into websites that use CloudFlare as their CDN. ChatGPT gave me a laundry list of things to check, and after exhausting that list, I decided that the great developers at Mozilla might be able to steer me in the right direction. Below is what ChatGPT suggested:

I asked:

> When trying to log into any resource that uses the CloudFlare CDN I get the following response: > > Icon for givewp.comgivewp.com > > Verify you are human by completing the action below. > givewp.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. > Ray ID: 90067ba77ed70ff1 > Performance & security by Cloudflare > > After checking if I am human or not, the login proc fails with no error message and then just presents the captcha again. > > This only occurs when I attempt to login to resources that use the CloudFlare CDN. > > Is this a known issue with CloudFlare. If it is, is there a known solution to the issue?

ChatGPT replied:

> Experiencing a recurring CAPTCHA verification loop when attempting to access websites utilizing Cloudflare's security services is a known issue that can arise due to various factors. To address this problem, consider the following steps: > > Disable Browser Extensions: Certain browser extensions, particularly those related to privacy, security, or ad-blocking, may interfere with Cloudflare's verification process. Temporarily disable these extensions to determine if they are the cause. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Add-ons and themes". > Disable the relevant extensions. > > Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Accumulated cache and cookies can sometimes lead to verification issues. Clearing them may resolve the problem. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Settings" > "Privacy & Security". > Scroll to "Cookies and Site Data" and click "Clear Data". > > Update Your Browser: Ensure that your browser is up to date, as outdated versions may have compatibility issues with certain security features. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Help" > "About Firefox". > Firefox will check for updates and install them automatically. > > Check Browser Settings: Ensure that JavaScript is enabled and that your browser is configured to accept cookies, as disabling these can impede the verification process. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Settings" > "Privacy & Security". > Ensure that "Enhanced Tracking Protection" is set to "Standard" and that cookies are enabled. > > Try Incognito or Private Browsing Mode: Accessing the website in incognito mode can help determine if the issue is related to browser settings or extensions, as this mode typically runs without extensions and uses default settings. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "New Private Window". > > Avoid Using VPNs or Proxies: Some VPNs or proxy servers can trigger security challenges. If you're using one, try disconnecting it to see if the issue persists. > > Check Your IP Address: Occasionally, certain IP addresses may be flagged by security systems. Restarting your router can assign a new IP address, potentially resolving the issue. > > Contact Website Support: If the problem continues, consider reaching out to the website's support team for further assistance. > > Implementing these steps should help resolve the CAPTCHA loop issue you're encountering. If the problem persists, it may be indicative of a more complex issue requiring further investigation.

Hello, I am 70, it is not possible for me to go to my gmail and get a code and retrieve where I have to write the code in 5 minutes. If you have a solution, please tell me how to do that. Otherwise, I will give up.

Be descriptive. Saying “playing video on YouTube is always choppy” will help us understand the issue better than saying “something is wrong” or “the app is broken”.

Good Afternoon All Staff, my age is 73, i have been notified that my Windows 10 runs out on the 14th October, and is it possible please to update to Windows 11.

Windows shut down my computer and when I restarted it all my data was gone! (Thanks Windows!) In order to restore my data, I had to create another user profile with adimn. privileges. That restored my desktop icons and other data, but not my bookmarks and browsing history. Is there a way I can recover those?

Hello,

on some websites firefox does add one space in front and after copied text. This does not happen with Safari or Chrome:

Example: If you try to copy the movie title you can reproduce the problem: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/212989-lego-ninjago-dragons-rising

Firefox: " LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023) "

Chrome & Safari: "LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023)"

This happens on Windows and MacOS. I did not test Linux or other systems. Firefox Version was 134.0 ARM for MacOS and 133.0.3 64-Bit on windows.

Help!

All of a sudden, I get a "Not enough room to save" error message when I try to download a fill. There is plenty of room on my disk.

Also, it's not giving me the option of just opening the file.

I've been needing to use Edge to download files.
