Firefox Community Forum

I've been getting warning messages telling me to update Firefox or security certificates will expire on 14th January. I clicked on Help -> About, but it doesn't check for updates. I also tried going to Preferences, but I still can't see a way to install updates.

I downloaded a version from here https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/download/thanks/ I unpacked it into my home directory, but I'm not sure how to install this version.

I'd like to be able to import my current session into the new version of firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Currently, my Firefox 133.0's default behavior is to open bookmarks in the currently active tab when clicking on them. This is fine for some applications/websites but impractical for others. With webmail clients, IP surveillance cameras, or weather forecast sites this can become a real pain, especially if someone keeps multiple instances (windows) of Firefox open across multiple virtual desktops (as I do). I end up opening these sites over and over again in different tabs.

I'd like specific bookmarks to be opened in a new tab/window if and only if that site is not already open; otherwise, bring that particular tab/window up instead of creating a new one. How could this be achieved?

Thank you very much!

I have searched Support, enabled media Autoplay for all sites, Page Info for individual sites. Videos play but never with audio. Currently using FF 134.0 (64-bit) on Debian 12, but recall some problems starting about the 133.0 update. No audio with Youtube, Amazon testimonials/reviews, etc.

Please help?

With Google selected as the default search engine if I enter any search term into the address bar I get:

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?

I'm then presented with a captcha. A serious PITA! Note that any proper address is evaluated properly.

Strangely enough if within a few seconds I enter the same term into the Chrome browser I get the expected number of results.

I can of course get around this by changing the default search engine but I'm wondering why Chrome works but Firefox doesn't. Win11 Home 23H2, all the latest Update fixes, latest Firefox and Chrome

just checked - seems to only happen with Windows, my Android phone doesn't have the problem...go figure

I want to be able to see the full text of my specific bookmark. My bookmark says "First National Bank of Huntsville". At present, it shows "First National Bank of..." Is there a way to do this?

How long before Nightly download site is available again?

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-nightly-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US returns:

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Nightly detected a potential security threat and did not continue to download.mozilla.org because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

download.mozilla.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Nightly can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

i recently had to get a new computer and had set up sync for everything however when i logged in to my new device none of my synced data was saved is there any way to get this data back i have passwords that i need that firefox forced me to use a secure generated and saved ones that i dont know

I am receiving the words403 Forbidden when I try to connect a website that I use regularly and do not understand why this is so. Please help me to be re-connected.

A business website has a page that allows me to see items scanned to their server for the last 90 days. The server hosting this page takes more than 1 minute to begin loading to the browser - the back and forth symbol in the browser.

I timed this event today, and Firefox times out after 1 minute. My work around is to use Chrome with the same webpage and it took more than 4 minutes before images started to arrive.

It would be handy to have the timeout adjustable in the settings tab of Firefox. If I choose to sit on what I know is a very slow website for 5 minutes so be it.

Let me know what adjustments I can make - 400mb internet, 5ghz hard wired to the router. This is the slowest site we ever access.

right click save image as not working in ancestry, but works on other websites. Has always worked on Ancestry in the past. Just rejoined Ancestry & now not working

I am on my new computer now, but need to open my old computer for information. However; I forgot the sign in password. Is there any way I can retrieve my old password for my non working older computer.

I am a card carrying FireFoxian. Please note: Firefox User since like Version One... I h@te Chrome. All of a sudden BAM I cannot log into ChatGPT from Mozilla Firefox. It authenticates then says there is an error. Private doesn't work. Clear history doesn't work. Should I go back to a previous verson of Firefox? 133.0.3 (64-bit)but it's the only one that works. HELP. Thanks Guys. See images. marcij@harvestcapitalholdings.com

In my previous mail I stated, that after the last Firefox Update last week virtually all my Bookmarks in the Bookmark sidebar AND the Bookmark toolbar have been blanked out i.e. the URL links have been eliminated, the ext is still there with a 'world icon'. Firefox does not let me restore from a saved .json file. Please let me have a solution for this problem, which is absolute first since using Firefox 1 1/2 decades ago. Thank you
