Firefox Community Forum

I have two installations of Firefox. One windows10 and one Linux. BOTH are doing the same thing on this site https://www.rapidonline.com/

I cannot scroll using the mouse roller. Page up/down doesn't work. Middle click and drag doesn't scroll either. BUT, for the briefest of time, BEFORE the Firefox shield in the address bar, I can scroll.

Hovering over the blue shield shows the text... Blocking social media trackers, cross site tracking cookies, and fingerprinters. Turning the Firefox protection OFF makes no difference, other than the shield is white and struck out. Disabling uBlock origin, or malwarebytes makes no difference. Both my installations do the same BUT, I called a pal who also uses Firefox on Linux and windows and he reports all is well and he uses uBlock, but not malwarebytes.

I have not actively messed with my settings on either platform. Oh, I was told to clear the cache. No joy.

Why does Firefox think it is blocking stuff but turning the protection off makes no difference? Why should two separate installations behave identically? Why does my pal's Firefox using Linux work on this site 100% ? I feel like I am going insane...

I have a new computer, and had information and web sites transferred from my old computer to the new computer. Now when I try to open a web site, a get a warning stating "do you want to open this file". These are not new sites, but ones from my old computer, and they are safe!!

How do I stop this warning pop up?

Thank you Allan

hi and thanks --

all of a sudden, for no particular reason i can think of, my e-mail (gmail) has quit autofilling e-mail addresses when i type someone's name as a recipient. i haven't changed any settings. one day it worked, the next day it quit working.

help!

When downloading a file, if the filename has no extension, Firefox adds ".html" to the filename. I want it to leave the filename as-is, with no extension. It will leave the name intact if I surround it with quotation marks, but it didn't previously require this.

Firefox Settings relates to Firefox extensions, which is not this issue. And the list of Applications does not include names that don't have an extension.

Example of situation: An SSL Certificate site needs to confirm my ownership of a domain. I download a file from the issuing site. The file's name has no extension. Firefox adds ".html", which causes the file to be not found after uploading.

Firefox did not have this misbehavior before the most recent update.

I originally posted a version of a question I'd already posted. Since I could not figure out how to delete my own question, I changed the subject and the question, to whether it is possible to delete questions.

I apologize for this, I should have made a record of the issue to start with.

thank you for your help!

bold textSome problem about google and it blocks me from accessing https://en.susudiy.com/detail?id=1855800432773828610. Please note that I am signed into google so I have no idea what the problem is. it started today.

There is an audio startup delay that persists on all websites and is present only in Mozilla. Apparently this problem is a decade old: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/39mrox/firefox_html5_audio_delay/ I couldn't find a long-term solution. So far I've Cleaned cache of all websites; Turned off the hardware acceleration and restarted Firefox;

Also this problem sometimes randomly disappears, but only until the next restart when it shows itself again. I don't know what to do because I literally can't use some websites in Firefox

Firefox keeps crashing when I click on a video and I've lost sound about 2 weeks ago. I've looked at everything I can find (Don't have a lot of experience with what to look for). I have considered going back to last Firefox download but don't know if that would help or how to do. I did also reinstall Firefox without removing this on that I have all set up. I've gone back to the original Firefox (using now) since it was not deleted. Hopefully, I didn't make things worse. Please help! Thank you!

I keep getting this message when i click a link on an add sometimes.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Are there any settings in Win.10 that prevents me from enabling DNS over HTTPS in FF settings? It says my browser is managed by my organization. I checked about:config, dns over https = true, & security.enterprise_roots.enabled = true FF Connection settings = Auto-detect proxy settings. Thanks

How do I prevent Firefox (which isn't even active) from activating and opening a tab when I use Windows Explorer to double-click-to-open a .DOC file? This is new behavior. How do I disable it. I don't want any application to access (even addresses) of an object I reference unless I specifically ask it to. When I activate Windows Explorer - I don't expect (or want) Firefox throwing up tab panels with the address in it.

I cannot log on to one particular forum account in Firefox. https://www.corvetteforum.com/

Other browsers work OK. In the past I could login fine. How do I correct this.

In my attempt to better organize my BOOKMARKS, having regained access following a PC compromise, I now no longer have the BOOKMARKS I so much would like to organize as I want. How can I now again gain access to and improve upon a 5 day old set of BOOKMARKS?

Please provide STEP by STEP instructions to regain access to the now 5 day old set of BOOKMARKS and any helpful info related to this task.

Latest version of FireFox for MacOS on Sonoma 14.7.1. When I go to YouTube it just shows greyed out boxes. When using private mode, it works fine.

I've tried clearing cache, switching off AdBlock, etc.

YouTube works fine on other browsers.

Any suggestions?

I'm not exactly sure how to describe this, but I will do my best. I've noticed that since updating to version 132.0.1 of Firefox that something seems to be odd with the way the browser is behaving with Youtube. Specifically, the back button isn't behaving as it should. Instead of taking me back to a previous page/video, the back button fades out as if it had indeed gone back to a previous page on the site, but doesn't actively take me to that page. I have to reload the page to get back to that previous page. This, so far, has not occurred on any other website I visit. I'm not sure if this is a glitch in Youtube or in Firefox, however given that this seems to be localized to Youtube, I'm wondering if it's an issue in Youtube that is somehow specific to Firefox itself. I tried this on my phone, and the issue isn't happening there, just on my laptop's version of the browser. This issue was not present in the previous version of Firefox, so I'm not sure what's going on. I am on an older build of Windows 10 as my machine seems incapable of updating to a later build of the OS, but I don't believe this is the cause either since other websites I've visited do not have this issue, so far as I can tell.

Can anyone help in regards to this issue? I'm honestly stumped as to why this is happening and why it seems to be specific to Youtube only.
