Firefox Community Forum

I recently tried logging in to my account at a financial institution and in addition to my user name and password they wanted to send me a verification code. I have no means other than e-mail to receive the code so I cannot log in. E-mail is not one of their optional ways to get the code. They say they have not changed their procedures. Could there possibly be something in the latest Firefox updates that could cause this problem?

I have been unable to complete the update/upgrade of Firefox on my Laptop. Upon starting my computer I have downloaded the upgrade file offered in the opening message. It performs normally right up to the end when it gives a message that something went wrong. It then offers an alternate download and method to upgrade which downloads fine and begins to install. At the end of this install, the install wizard says "finished" however despite the "Launch Firefox" box is checked, it never opens Firefox. For some reason the update is not completing, and now I am having trouble with some Apps opening which I suspect is due to the browser being out of date. I have tried clearing my Cache and Cookies and re-trying but have remained unsuccessful. I really could use some assistance with getting my browser successfully updated. Best Regards, Brian

I keep getting Bad Certificate when I try to print from my Android phone. I can print from my tablet but I keep getting the message, Firefox preventing this print, Bad Certificate?

I've noticed since a few upgraded of Firefox tat I am having an issue loading my local uTorrent GUI at: https://192.168.0.xxx:36724/gui/index.html. I am currently using 132.0.2 x64 and it eventually loads after 3-4 minutes. There are absolutely zero add-ons at the moment, and it does not matter if it is a portable version or standard installed version. I do not seem to have this issue while using Firefox (latest) ESR portable version.

Is there something I'm missing here? I am not sure if it is the port that's the issue with Firefox, because I have a local website using port 9090 and 8080 without any issues on loading. Also, it is happening with the nightly version of FF as well. All other browsers load quickly.

Kind regards,

I have had software problems recently and have lost a number of functions that I could use your help with. My browser is Firefox. And for my home page I use "my.earthlink".

Upon completion of the repair, I discovered that all my stored passwords and user names were lost. I had 189 protected items that are now gone. Does your program (Mozilla/Firefox) have a cloud file or another method to retrieve this information?

Hi. Recently, in my Firefox browser on Windows, there is a new "News" section on the new tab page - how can I get rid of this??

I like the Pocket stories on the new tab page, precisely because they are usually *not* news - they are interesting, thought-provoking, or quirky stories that provide a break from actual news headlines. I need to escape the actual "breaking news." Please allow users to get ride of the "real" news section.

I am currently running Firefox on desktop (128.4.0esr) version.

The last few addons that I have installed are not working properly. Or rather, they work just fine, but when I close Firefox and re-open it later, they seem to fail to actually enable. I must go to the about:addons page, disable the addon, and then re-enable it for it to actually work. If I do not do this, it will not be on my toolbar, and the Extensions sidebar button does not show the addon in the list. It's as if it isn't properly installed.

After reading this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1420017 I thought maybe my extensions db got corrupted somehow, so I followed their instructions and deleted the extensions.databaseSchema config. And wouldn't you know it, it worked! Once I restarted Firefox, I saw some notifications in the main sidebar menu and was greeted with this: Notifications Once I clicked through them and enabled, everything seemed fine.

However after closing firefox again, the problem comes back. Those exact extensions that I manually approved upon restarting are the ones that are giving me troubles and not enabling properly. An interesting thing I noticed is that these all seem to be extensions that require additional permissions. I enabled the addon and gave them the permissions they requested, so I don't know why they are failing to enable properly on startup.

I want to permanently fix the problem

Hi - I have Firefox set as my default browser and Google as my search. It still shows up in my settings as Firefox (default). For some reason, even when I click on the Firefox icon, Bing overrides it and takes me to the Bing browser / search page. I have gone through settings a dozen times and cannot figure out how to fix this! Help!

That's pretty much it. Not entire web pages but a few words up to an entire line of text rendered in such a way as to be illegible. Most frequently, it looks like letters are superimposed with other letters. But also letters can be missing (e.g. baby becomes bab) or even occasionally rendered as what look like superscripts. Oddly, if I move the cursor over the bad text, it changes to what it should be. Or sometimes I have to select the text. Very rarely, nothing fixes it. This started with a system crash recently that required rebuilding a substantial chuck of hardware and a clean reinstall of Windows. A few days ago, I also did a clean reinstall of Firefox but the problem persists.

Scenario: I am running a node.js UI that proxies requests to the backend API. When `timeout=10` (or any valid timeout) is located in the request URL, the request will be proxied at the timeout interval ten times. In this example, every ten seconds it will reattempt for ten attempts.

If I run the same code in another browser's console, it is only executed once.

I am suspecting that there is some pre-parsing of the URL that is occurring that is making this happen.

Fetch Command: ``` await fetch("http://localhost:8080/config?timeout=10", {

   "credentials": "omit",
   "headers": {
       "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:132.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/132.0",
       "Accept": "application/json",
       "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
       "Content-Type": "application/json",
       "Sec-Fetch-Dest": "empty",
       "Sec-Fetch-Mode": "cors",
       "Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-origin",
       "Priority": "u=0",

"Timeout": 40

   },
   "referrer": "http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html?config=/config/swagger",
   "method": "POST",
   "mode": "cors"

}); ```

In the POST API, there is a 30 second sleep, then it raises a 408 error code.

Environment: Firefox 132.0.2 (64-bit) Windows 10

Hey All:

On this website: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ https://fred.stlouisfed.org/

Upper-right My Account drop-down menu. Click, and it simply disappears.

In Chrome and Safari it pops up a Login form.

I've turned off popup blocking in Firefox, no change.

I'm guessing there's a simple fix, suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Steve

I cannot pin the extension to the toolbar. The extension is not shown in the puzzle icon dropdown, and it is not in the overflow. Please add an automatic pin to the toolbar when a new extension is added! How do I pin it now?
