I-Firefox Community Forum

Today I was no longer able to stream movies on Amazon Prime or Youtube. I watch Amazon movies most nights, watched last night. Tonight I got a message when I tried to continue watching a tv series on Amazon that I've watched for weeks. It said I had to update Firefox and told me how, but when I went thru the process Firefox said it was up to date. On Youtube I got an error msg. 99,999 . What is happening?

I'm having much difficulty in attaching a article I see to Facebook. Its possible the problem may be I'm not using the right instruction on the Firefox options when I right click the article I want to attach to Facebook. Some of those options are, Save link as, Copy link, when I right click for options. Can someone explain what is the right option to use? And, how do I proceed once I choose the correct option to make that attachment to a Facebook message I'm replying to? There are times a picture of the article will attach to the Facebook message, but the text that is associated with the attachment will not appear? Can someone please help? Thank you.

I do not know what exactly causes Firefox (on Windows 11 anyway) to block the copy and paste functions, but i found the easiest fix possible :-) Firstly, for me it never grayed out the copy option on right mouse click, so it seemed like copy is possible - just that it did not copy anything at all! The CTRL / C also did not copy anything - but in MS Edge everything worked just fine.

I had cleared out the browser cache in FF - did not change anything (but maybe i should have closed FF and reopened it anew and things would have worked again - instead i got frustrated and used CCleaner to clean out the online trash in all browsers etc. But CCleaner also had a hickup due to some nag popup for their paid version, so i turned off the laptop and restarted it anew, then CCleaner ran normally, cleaned up all www garb.

Now i opened FF - and guess what, copy and paste worked just fine again.

Go figure what the cause was / is, but a www trash clean pc seems to solve it, that's at least something.

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.

The Support forum is full with people having this problem and it seems no one at Mozilla can even b.u.t.t in with something like "we are working on it" or "here is how you can fix it yourself, also for none nerds" or anything?? Hello Mozilla, are you still alive or should we move on to a browser that does not malfunction on such an important issue as copy and paste? P.S. no answer is an answer too Mozilla, we can safely assume you are now buried on boothill, right?

I can#t even begin to think where i should have best posted this question, but here it is anyway: Yesterday (or the day before) i activated the latest FF update (using Windows 11) - and now, today, i notice no copy and paste function for nothing anymore! Nada! What on earth is going on please, and more importantly, how can i fix this (or how can FF fix it if they screwed up the latest update)??

At first i thought it#'s only on Gmail and G translate, but after a while it became clear it's completely disabled. So i opened my backup browser, that Chrome base Edge browser - and see there all copy and paste actions work like normal.

Need a fix for this, otherwise i have to switch to that Microsoft browser, that would ba a truly sad day :-(

A problem with an x.0 version? I've been using FF from "source code" for years on Debian Linux, but this is the first time such an update is failing after the most recent update to v133.0, as illustrated in attached image. How can I now update to the fix for this problem, please?

Today I Receive Mozilla Firefox 133(64Bit) Update. After Successful Update. My Open Tabs Are Not Loading. Also, Firefox Become Very Slow When I Surf Youtube Videos. Video Stuck But I Can Hear Audio. Taking Time To Load Videos. Its A Portable Version.

What has happened to the "More actions" menu button - the one that normally is in the upper left corner of windows (see the attached image)?

I have just installed a new PC, with Debian 12 and KDE (plasma 5.27.5); the other windows have this menu button, but not Firefox and Thunderbird. Is there a way to get it back, eg by moving the menu bar out of the title bar and back to where it used to be?

You folks updated Firefox and now I can't open earmarked accounts. Reading all of the reasons is not helping me. I am not computer literate to fool around with settings. So can I go back to old firefox.

I use Firefox with navigation bar hidden in Linux Web Apps (in Linux Mint > Web Apps :: where you can create apps from any web page). I particularly use Notion as an app. And recently, I guess with the new updates, there is showing an address bar where previously there was nothing. Is there a way to remove it?

Thanks for your help.

W11, FF set as defailt browser, installed from Mozilla sites (.exe)

Any links from Whatsapp or Messenger app (and some others, but it is very likely the same issue) open in MS Edge. I found some WI to change the "microsoft-egde URL" default app, but I do not have that option. Only Edge is offered or I have to go to store and Install FF from there. Is there a way around it? My main concern is I am biuit scared to install it from MS Store as there are for sure some limitations and I might loose my opened windows and tabs...

Hi,

I have 3 firefox clients two private ones and one on my office computer. Between all client I want to synchronize bookmarks, ... except the Add-ons. Add-ons should only be synchronized between my private computers as per company policy some Add-ons are not allowed. It would be nice to have a per client synchronize setting to switch of synchronization of the Add-ons only for my company client.

Kind regards, Tolotos67

How do I stop it from appearing please? It's the address bar.. field. I don't know what to call it, english is not my native language. I just want it to remain small and static like it always did. Now it becomes a huge field that takes up too much space and blocks my vision and I just want it to disappear.

I wish Firefox would stop changing stuff like this.

Out of nowhere I got the sidebar today. An absolutely useless feature that I surely did not ask for. And there is no way of closing or removing it. Please provide a guide, to removing or hiding it PERMANENTLY!

bsky.app cookie continues to be loaded on computer even after I continually delete it, privacy set to strict and blocked under "managed exceptions, why is it being reloaded when I don't access the site. None of the sites I access are linked to it, only visited once and if this alternative to x continues to set cookies, how can I permanently block it, thought the exceptions list was supposed to keep blocking it. So far it's come back three times, I'll screenshot it next time and attach.
