Firefox Support Forum

Dear Anyone

You'll laugh like drains. I've got PagePlus 9 which lets you design .PDFs with fillable fields in, the idea BEING I could send out a form which anyone could fill in in their browser without having to understand word-processing. Looked great in PagePlus 9, loaded it into Firefox and it sucked royally - fields and data all over the show. Back to the drawing board. Nearly 5 hours and countless revisions later, it still sucked royally in Firefox.

Then I tried it in Chrome, Edge, Hola and CCBrowser and it worked like an absolute dream. Displayed perfectly. Let you enter data perfectly. Put it back into Firefox and it immediately sucked blue whales through thin straws again. So it's GOT to be a hewge bug with Firefox and .PDFs. Anyone know what it is and how to handle it?

In retrospect, I, too, find it Pretty Darned Funny that I didn't think of testing it in another browser before spending 5 hours on the thing! But if it's a Firefox and PDF bug, why's nobody spotted it in Developerland? That's the bit I don't get really. (If they HAD, surely they'd've just opened up the inner workings of another browser, learned what they were doing wrong and used what they'd learned?)

Can reload it and take screenshots if requested.

Yours puzzledly

Chris.

What's the best easiest way to translate my website https://invivobio.net/ in different language. We have different countries visitors so I want to check/translate my English content in different languages after publishing them, so it will be understandable for me and visitors to check the language, is that correct?

Can anyone suggest me Mozilla Firefox Extension which translate perfect because I leave Google Chrome due to slow browsing. I am enjoying Mozilla for the long time, so I don't want to move back to Chrome.

Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Can a Wildcard such as Dollar or the question mark be used to substitute a character or a number of characters while searching the FF password manager? Thanks I checked out the help page below and tried to search the help but no joy https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/privacy-and-security/passwords-forms-search-and-history Thanks M E

I have been using (VIEWING articles in // saving articles TO my) FIREFOX "POCKET" for more than a year.

I have the pocket ICON on my upper toolbar. But ALL that seems to do is allow me to ADD an open page TO Pocket. I have NO clue how to simply **Go t o POCKET** and VIEW any / all my saved items there.

Good God, WHAT is the secret handshake??! ...in trying to figure this out I see numerous things telling me to SIGN IN to pocket ... IF way back when I began using pocket I MADE a USER NAME / Password for it, that info is long forgotten. I HAVE a FIREFOX account ... was sent therewhile supposedly (according to Firefox" HELP") to 'sign in' to my POCKET account. Only took me to an overall FIREFOX account page - wherein NO LONK there referred AT ALL to POCKET.

I 'SAVE' to my pocket (ICON) almost daily. NEVER need any kind of sign in for this. NOW I want to LOOK AT / READ some of these - BUT FIND NOWAY TO GET THERE. ICON omly SAVES a page.

Ridiculous. HOW do I VIEW / SEE / FIND /READ my saved pocket items?

Is there a way to ensure size & shape of page remains the same from session to session? I use my TV as a monitor and every time I open Firefox I have to manually reshape the browser to fit the screen. I'd love for it to come up the same each time.

Thanks, Richard

Ik heb een vraag ?

Als ik mijn Firefox twee x open, en dan weer beide sluit zijn de volgende x als ik mijn Firefox open al me tabbladen in eens weg en moet ik ze opnieuw vast zetten.

Hoe kan ik het zo in stellen ook al open in 100x Firefox en weer sluit dat hij de Tabbladen onthoud en dat ik ze niet steeds opnieuw moet vast maken ?

Met vriendelijke groet

I want to be able to type accented characters while I'm using a mail tool in Firefox. I searched and found the Office/Word method, but that doesn't work in FF. When I searched this site for "type accent," nothing was found.

I don't need a special language pack, I'm still typing in English. I just want a way to insert an accented character now and then.

I am using Firefox on a desktop and recently upgraded to 112. I have been trying for the last 6 months to SHORTEN the address bar (NO, I do NOT use Search on Firefox) and cannot find an answer anywhere. I am completely exasperated at all controls Firefox has taken away from users the past few years and this is the final straw before I leave you. PLEASE tell me how to REALLY shorten the god-awful length of the url bar so I can see more addons ON the desktop. Thank you very much.

I'm using UIAutomation to get the bounding rectagle of an input control. Here's my C++ code.

IUIAutomation* p_iui; ... IUIAutomationElement* p_fcs_element; while(TRUE) {

   Sleep(1000);
   p_iui->GetFocusedElement(&p_fcs_element);
   RECT r;
   p_fcs_element->get_CurrentBoundingRectangle(&r);
   _cprintf("Rect: %d,%d,%d,%d\n", r.left, r.top, r.right, r.bottom);

}

When I put focus on some input text area and move Firefox by drag&drop, the RECT r's data(left,top,right,bottom)does not change, unless I change the focus to another text area and back to the first one. Should I change some Firefox settings to make the location information up-to-date when get_CurrentBoundingRectangle every time?

I have my bookmarks alphabetized. When I click on one far down the list & then want to click on the next one the list of my bookmarks always reverts to the top of my list. Can I change this to have my bookmarks stay in the same place that I left off with instead of having to scroll all the way down again?

Folks ---- 6 April 2023 ---

I posted this request previously, about 4 days ago.

I inadvertantly CHANGED the Font used in the Windows Notepad. Since I'm old enough for such changes to be visually significant, AND since the change makes reading text VERY difficult, I need to change it back to whatever it was before. It's just that I don't know what it WAS before[!]

That's my question: what Font do I specify, and what display Format do I use.

Thankx in advance for any help any of you-all can provide.

https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1340102#question-reply ^^^^^^ While searching for a very popular FIREFOX topic my top search result on google rendered this page. The answer is incorrect.

How can I fix or delete this erroneous post or may it be edited?

I can create a help page if it means anything to replace this technically and procedurally incorrect and misleading post. I saw it right away but for a newbie to firefox it could send them away screaming in frustration. A help webpage to address this question would be helpful and I can create one if needed. Or did I miss it?

Why does unsubscribing from email communications not work with my Mozilla account?

I am starting to regret ever giving them my email address.

No matter how many times I unsubscribe I keep getting SPAM from Mozilla.

Nothing is selected under email communications. I never selected anything in the first place but I keep getting Tips.

you are a bunch of nut cases. you post that you can help me edit a pdf then it takes me nowhere. I guess you have to have fired by McDonalds to work for firefox. very disappointed.
