Firefox Tekoha Aty

No audio coming out of any website while streaming using Firefox. No issue with Google Chrome. This started recently. Windows 11 Home Edition Version 24H2 Build 26100.3194

Any help?

Thank you

Clicked on a link provided by Windows 11 where Windows was trying to send me to the Microsoft Store. Got this error:

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

Firefox is installed and and the default browser. Don't have any idea why or what to do. Can someone help?

On my windows PC, I am unable to view Ring Camera live-view due to "error missing required codec". Does my Firefox have the required HEVC codec to view Ring Camera videos?

After i format my phone. I reinstall firefox app but when i am signing in with my email i forget my password and i create new one by "forget my password" i get the code and everything done. After that i sync on, but all my bookmarks don't return...how can i return them ?

Latest update of Firefox 64, glitch is with attachments to Outlook Emails, cycles trying to open attachments for hours, cannot add attachments to emails. I'm using Chrome now because you software has problems. Help to get back to using FireFox.

Does anybody know which options to use on the command-line start of Firefox such that the only thing displayed is the area within which an HTML page would be presented?

I want to have it start with everything else turned off or hidden, namely

   memu bar
   page tabs bar
   address bar along all add-on buttons
   bookmarks sidebar

The "-kiosk" option is not appropriate for my needs.

-kiosk doesn't hide the sidebar (Bookmarks or not) if that sidebar was visible during last session before exit ... so ... no, "-kiosk" is not a proper implementation of a "page-only" display mode.

"-private-window" gives no benefit, display-wise, over and above what the "-new-window" option provides.

Everything I've read (even on the Mozilla support site) seems to point to creating a special profile for just that mode, and then to modify the "userChrome.css" file with custom properties to ensure the desired "off" setting for the GUI elements. That seems a rather "small-minded" view, ignoring the potential for huge market of self-contained hard-coded applications that would need only use the Firefox rendering engine, and nothing else!

One comment on Reddit indicated that the functionality was there ("-app" option working with XULrunner), but discontinued!

As a test, I did close all my browsers, leaving the bookmark sidebar visible before closing. I then entered:

firefox -kiosk -safe-mode -private-window ${URL}

I still get the bookmark-sidebar visible, with everything else "hidden" or "disabled", because visible sidebar is my default mode for normal browsing.

Is there no command-line startup switch to force that sidebar to "hide", equivalent to clicking on the "X" on the top-right corner?

OR ...

Is there any programmatic way to tell that to hide using JavaScript in the HTML page that is loaded? Everything I seem to locate refer to in-page Elements only, not Browser Elements. :frowning:

But "kiosk"(fullscreen-mode) is not the mode I want, because I want users to be able to have the simplified browser-based HTML App co-exist on the desktop with other windows, like a normal App.

• • Basic HTML test page** *(myHtmlGame.html)* **:**

        mainWindow.toggleSidebar('openDaisySidebar', false);
     }
  }

};

setTimeout(function() {

  var mainWindow = current._windowMediator.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
  var observerService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/observer-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIObserverService);
  observerService.addObserver(quitObserver,"quit-application-granted",false);

},2000); ```

I've tried using this alternative content for the JavaScript file, but that also failed (using '*hideSidebarBookmarks()*' call in the in-line script segment):

``` function hideSidebarBookmarks() { const sidebar = document.getElementById("CustomizableUI.AREA_BOOKMARKS") ; sidebar.hide() ; } ```

I even tried replacing the word "document" with "browser" in the above, still with no success. :-(

Is the Primary (formerly called "Master") password shared or Firefox synchronised between different devices?

The reason that I ask this is that I am a decrepit and ignorant old bugger in his 8th decade that has been using Firefox for nearly 25 years. Consequently I have a lot of passwords stored in Firefox's password manager that I REALLY do not want to lose.

Unfortunately, on my main desktop machine, becoming more paranoid after a suspected identity theft attack, I decide to change the Master Password (recently re-named to Primary Password) to something longer and harder to guess or break.

Unfortunately I have forgotten what I changed it to ! (I can remember the first 15 characters but then not the ending sequence...)

However, I discovered that on an old laptop (that had not been connected to the internet for a long time - and I've disconnected it from the local Wi-Fi now) that my old password still worked and I could still see many of the old passwords (since it had not been synchronised).

I am worried that if I try and restore my passwords by now connecting to the internet and synchronising, I will then be locked out of this remaining treasury of my passwords if Firefox synchronisation then disastrously changes the old password (that I still remember) to the new password that I have forgotten - hence my question...

PS: I still have a paper record of something called an "Account Recovery Key" consisting of 8 groups of 4 alphanumeric characters (each group only contains capital letters and numerals - although one 4 character group does not contain any numerals at all, but all groups have at least one capital letter). Could I use this to recover the misremembered new password?

PPS: Don't you think it is always a bad idea to include both zeroes and letter Oh for Oscars in this account recovery key as capital letters rather than lower case letters, since they look so similar?

ie z00 or zoo is less prone to confusion that Z00 or ZOO

Firefox no longer allows me to bookmark web sites that I want for place in my bookmark folders. I have encountered several situation when trying to bookmark a web site:

1- When I get to a site that I want to bookmark, I go to "Bookmarks", select and click on "Bookmark Current Tab" and nothing happens. On prior versions of Firefox, another panel would be presented where I would have the option to file the current tab to an existing Firefox folder or create an new folder.

Now I do not have that option available to me. These problems seems to to have started with the upgrade to 134.0.2

2- When I go to "Bookmarks" and select "Manage Bookmarks" I am able to see a listing of of the bookmarks but the list is not complete. I have preciously established and used the bookmark labeled as "Woodworking" which is no longer present, in fact the the last alphabetical listed bookmark is "Ryobi".

I did have and was able to use the bookmark "Woodworking" in the past. Why is everything beyond "Ryobi missing?

3 - Some times when I go to use bookmarks it does show provide me with the panel that would allow me to bookmark the current tab but it will not allow me to create a new folder where I want to place the current tab..

4 -I have tried to go to an older version of Firefox but have been unable to locate where I can obtain it. Would going back to an older version resolve my issues and if so where can I get an older version?

I have been using Firefox for many years and never had issues and have been very happy with it. Anything guidance you can provide to resolve these bookmark issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Victor

This mandatory upgrade completely illustrates the point of why so many never did. Upgrades tend to lose functionality- add-ons, etc, that we're accustomed to and still work quite well with don't function anymore with browser upgrades, and there's no viable replacement available so we stick with what works and find other ways to compensate for any perceived vulnerabilities. Now, like Microsoft, you're forcing consumers to do things they never wanted to and taking away the reasons for using this browser to begin with. Given that we've been able to use older versions for years with no issues, there's no sugarcoating that this is all on you, Mozilla. Calling this course of action disappointing is a gross understatement and nothing more than keeping things polite.

Firefox on Windows 11 - can't log into Yahoo Mail. No problem with Microsoft Edge, Chrome or Duck Duck Go.

I get the following message when trying from Firefox: "Something's gone wrong. We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over."

All other websites work on Firefox. I've already told Firefox to "forget this website". still doesn't work.
