How do I get rid of these constant firebox pop ups that block tabs that I have open. it is EXTREMELY affecting my ability to use my laptop. I WANT TO KNOW HOW STOP THIS BS

All of a sudden, when I'm on eBay, a lot of the hot links, embedded on an eBay "for sale" item don't work. Sometimes, when I (repeatedly) hit "Reload Current Page", they start working, or become "hot", as they should be. I wrote eBay, but no response. I don't know, if it's their problem, or something wrong with Firefox. Thanks, in advance, David

Why is there no price tag icon for Review Checker in the search bar for Amazon and Walmart? (I am signed in to Mozilla, and I tried turning off all my adblockers and Privacy Badger.)

Thank you for your suggestions!

I view movies and tv series on Amazon Prime and others every night . Suddenly I no longer can. On Prime I get a msg. saying I must update ff. It tells me the process and I have done it at least 6 times. When I go to 'about Firefox it tells me that I am already up to date, have version 115.18 esr. I am on a Dell Business computer, Vostro 470. Windows 7, service pak 1. Processor is i5-3450CPU @3.10GHz. RAM 400 GB , 4 processor cores. 64 bit. Prime disk466 GB 395 GB free. I'm a senior lady, not very computer literate. I have a ton of duplicate files but don't know which to remove. If I got help I could free up a lot more space. I watch everything on my computer monitor. I don't understand as the esr was supposed to allow us to continue. Please help as I am pretty homebound and this is about my only entertainment.

Hi, there are bugs with text selection when using touch. The video below explains. But simply selecting text is really buggy and the bugs happen randomly, long pressing on text sometimes selects text sometimes not, sometimes opens context menus sometimes not. The preferred behavior is to select text and open the context menu at the same time.

Debian 12, Wayland, Firefox 133, Thinkpad yoga

My safe downloads are being continually blocked by your Norton Safe Web. I have already gone thru the security settings and unchecked them. It is still blocking simple WORD downloads from clean sources and business partners. Is there a way to fix this? Otherwise I need to abandon Fierfox for another browser.

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.

I recently got norice that Firefox needed updating so I clicked on ok. When it got done updating, Firefox opened with my tabs but the tab spacing was gone as as well as there was no color in the Title bar and menu area, which was normally light blue to match Windows 10 22H2 backbrond I have. I looked at enabling the legacy support in about:config but it was already enabled. I use a Chrome UserChrome.css file that allows the tabs to have just a bit of space between them and rounded edges. I have vision issues and this made it so I could see open tabs and distinguish them.

This is the userChrome.css file I used: .titlebar-color{ color: AccentColorText !important; background-color: AccentColor; }

.tab-background{ border-radius: 8px 5px !important; margin-bottom: 2px !important; margin-top: 1px !important; } /* NEWTAB button */

1. new-tab-button,
2. tabs-newtab-button {

fill: red !important;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.7) !important;

}

/* NEWTAB button - hover */

1. new-tab-button:hover,
2. tabs-newtab-button:hover {

 fill: white !important;
 background-color: rgba(255,0,0,.7) !important;

} .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected=true]):not([multiselected=true]) .tab-background{ background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 25%, transparent); } menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem{ padding-block: 2px !important; min-height: 0px !important; }

root{

--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 2px !important; } I attached Firefox with white colored Title bar and Waterfox with colored title bar for example. Is there some setting in the about:config I am missing that was changed from 132 to 133 version? Thank you very much Vernon

I have just logged on for the day and the Side Bar has changed. It now has an extra layer making it wider which now pushes a highly used website page off the screen which is very annoying because I don't want to reduce it's zoom any more.

I use the Side Bar to bookmark various links within this website as shortcuts to navigate it.

How do I remove this unwanted extra layer?

Please find attached a Snipping Tool file.

The unwanted extra layer is the bar down the left showing my Bookmark icon on the top and the Settings icon on the bottom neither of which I want or need and this is causing the extra width to the sidebar which is upsetting my viewing. How do I remove this new bar?

since a few mins ago, 30/11/2024 12 Am IST i have observed that MSN webpage specifically : https://www.msn.com/en-in?ocid=wispr&pc=u477 auto opens every few mins, i have no idea why, can anyone help me?

On the newest firefox update on Windows PC My PDF reading has been not displaying PDFs correctly on Firefox I tested on other PDF views and they work as normal (All images are normally white with black text PDFs) Sometimes it displays nothing at all (as seen in Image 1) Some pages will display correctly but the rest won't (as seen in Image 2) Some pages will display text but strangely (as seen in Image 3) It does flash white sometimes while scrolling but it still doesn't show text

When I turned on my laptop today my Firefox browser started running an update when it was done I could not open the browser. I get two messages.

        library C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\xul.dll.

I'm sending this from my tablet because can't form my laptop.

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 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?

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.
