Forum Bashkësie Firefox

Hi, I'm using FF for year for development and had several problems with cached data in this time. Now, since the last update (automatic update yesterday), Firefox is caching my js for localhost and ignores nearly everything to stop it.

F5 and Ctrl+F5: no effect Enabling "Disable cache" in devtools: no effect changed about:config (no effect): browser.cache.disk.capacity 0 browser.cache.disk.enable false browser.cache.memory.enable false devtools.cache.disabled true

Only going to settings > privacy + security > Clear Data helps. But as you can imagine, that's really bad DX

I tried a FF-addon for clearing css cache, but it's outdated and doesn't work.

Is there anything I can do, to disable cache for localhost?

I don't understand why this aggressive caching problem is ignored for years and gets worse every year! Why are settings like "Disable cache" in devtools so broken? I tested other browsers and have not found the same issues. I don't want to switch browsers! I just want a cache free localhost! FF can cache the sh*t out of every webpage. But please leave localhost out of it!

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?

I'm working on setting up my new laptop and some process wanted me to restart Firefox (I think it was after removing McCaffee). When it restarted, the windows and tabs from my previous session did not get restored.

I tried the solution here: Lost session (previously open tabs gone) but it doesn't give a complete answer! I found the "working files" as indicated but then the answer doesn't say what to do!

Getting everything from my old computer to this new one is torture enough; this glitch on Firefox is enough to make me want to just trash it or wipe it and go back to Windows 10.

I do not save all attachments to my received email. It used to be that when I received an email with a attachment I could choose to open or download to a particular file. Now my only choice is to download the file which happens automatically as soon as I click on the attachment. I am using Windows 11 and read my email while it remains on the ACENTEC website. That seems to be a good security move. The email never is downloaded into my computer and remains accessible from any of the several computers I use.

I have been building websites on and off for many years using Notepad++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. During development and maintenance, I heavily use Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition on the computer where I build the sites (both editions are affected). I also have many notes on an offline website.

Recently, the links in these offline websites no longer work in Firefox. They function as usual in Microsoft Edge and the newly installed Vivaldi 7. They also work on an old laptop with an older version of Firefox. I think the issue was introduced in one of the recent updates. Could you please look into this? Otherwise, I cannot use Firefox as an offline browser and the developers add-ons on my laptop anymore.

Kind regards, Martijn de Jong

I sent this message to Mozilla support in Dutch and would like to send an English translation as well.

Do you have a solution for this issue?

I'm facing an extremely bizarre issue in Firefox 134 for Mac. After trying "Increased Protection" DoH mode once, I have google.com working only under this "Increased Protection" now. It no longer works under "Default Protection" or "Off". It's exactly the same in the Troubleshoot Mode and in private windows.

If I type google.com in the address bar, or if I search for anything (regardless if it's in the address bar or the search bar), absolutely nothing happens now. If I'm on a new tab, it stays empty. If I'm on an existing tab, it just stays open on whatever website I'm at. For example, I can try accessing google.com right from here as I'm typing this, and nothing will happen, I will just stay on this page. The only visible activity is that the current website's icon (at the left of the tab) changes to the loading animation for a few seconds and then permanently changes to the hourglass icon. That's it.

Any local google domains, such as google.ca, DO load. Any google.com subdomains, such as mail.google.com, also DO load. It's exclusive to google.com. When typing dig google.com in my system's Terminal, it successfully resolves. Moreover, it also successfully resolves in Firefox's own DNS Lookup Tool (located at about:networking#dnslookuptool). What I'm seeing is Google's IP address 142.250.190.46.

Now, I have google.com working in absolutely all other browsers, it also seems to resolve through the terminal, as mentioned previously, but it no longer opens directly in Firefox, unless I enable "Increased Protection" again. As soon as I disable it and return to either "Default Protection" or "Off", google.com (and it alone) immediately stops loading.

Have I uncovered a hidden bug? I'm really depressed right now, because "Increased Protection" messed with certain websites and so I decided to disable it upon finding out, but unfortunately at the cost of Google Search not working anymore. Do I really have to use other browsers to use Google Search now? And what kind of witchcraft is it? I really don't understand what's going on.

Since updating to the above OS on my Macbook Pro I have not been able to use any screen share functions (e.g. Adobe, MS PowerPoint etc) while using Firefox - all of which worked fine before. I've tried all kinds of suggestions including from this forum but nothing has worked. The site I use most is Konfidens. The only option that comes up when clicking on Share Screen is Use Operating System Settings (see attached screenshot). When you click on it the only option is "share entire screen" which isn't what I need or want. The Konfidens tech support team is looking into this but given the screen share option works fine on Chrome, the problem is evidently with Firefox. I want to stick to Firefox for security reasons but if I cannot resolve this, I will have no option but to move across to another browser. Many thanks in anticipation!

I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

I am a Cacti developer and we are considering switching from FontAwesome Web Fonts to Tabler Web Fonts. However, on Firefox for Windows only, we are having a major slowdown when using the Tabler SVG based webfonts. The page load is first stalled by Firefox apparently loading all the Web Fonts, which would appear normal with any browser (though exceedingly slow on Firefox for some reason).

However, once the page is loaded, when going off tab to another browser tab, and then back to the Firefox tab that includes the Tabler webfonts, there is a 3 second delay before the tab switches. When we enable the performance analyzer, we find that the delay is almost 100% Reflow of the page, even though the page is static as this point (no changes) from the last time it was activated.

We do not have this issue on Firefox for Linux, MS Edge or any other Chromium browser, only Firefox on Windows. I'm using the latest version 134. Should I be opening a bug?

I am using the Accessibility inspector to examine the "Color and Contrast" of text over a gradient image background.

I have attached a screenshot of the area I am looking to understand.

I see that there are 2 color measurements. One on the left and one on the right. The color swatches on the right appear to be AAA. The one swatches on the left do not.

What are the left swatches for?

Is there a site/page dedicated to detailed instruction on how to get the most out of the Accessibility Inspector? The 'Learn More' link doesn't have much guidance.

Thank you.

Just updated to version 134 on Win 11. I use local web pages to organize links. My main web page contains the following:

<frameset rows="40,*" border=no frameborder=no>

 <frame src="./directories.html" name="directories" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no">
 <frame src="./main.html" name="links" marginwidth="1" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto">
 <noframes>Sorry, your browser does not handle frames!</noframes>

</frameset>

the file directories.html contains links such as:

 <td class="table2"><a href="./personal.html" target="links">Personal</td>

the css file contains: td.table2 {

 border: 1px solid;
 border-collapse: collapse;
 text-align: center;
 padding: 5px 5px;
 background-color: silver;

}

Clicking on the link yesterday loaded the file "personal.html" in the bottom frame. After the update, it does nothing. Right clicking on the link and selecting "open link in new tab" does open the file in a new tab.

It's always syncing. Not sure if that is the cause for my containers to not appear from Multi Containers Addon.

I couldn't find anything in the journal logs.

Hey guys,

I use Firefox as my primary browser, but lately when I click a Job posting by CUNY the page keeps refreshing and it won't let me click on Apply Now, can you check if the problem is coming from CUNY or Firefox?

Thank you.

When I click the extensions button, the "Personalize your Firefox" page loads. The extension menu does not appear. Steps: 1. All extensions are enabled. I have disabled them and re-enabled them. 2. In the Privacy and Security settings, I have confirmed that "Let Firefox make personalized recommendations" is unchecked. As the problem persisted, I unchecked every data collection box. 3. I have re-started Firefox, re-started the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. 4. The extension button functioned perfectly well for the life of this computer. The only difference between yesterday and today is that I hibernated the computer last night. I always do that and the extension button always displays menu -- until today.

How to restore my history password and addons? I installed a couple of other versions of Firefox and now I have lost the history and password and plugins, but I still keep the tabs.
