I have been using the browser extension feedbro and i really enjoyed being able to plop it out of the main browser window and 'add it to the taskbar' but for a couple days this option disappeared. Is there another way to do this? did "add tab to taskbar" get removed for browser extensions? or is this feedbro related? i am unsure how to test whether the button is missing for other browser extensions as well.

added two images showing that the button is gone from feedbro and still there for other tabs/pages

I use a website often where the links on any given page change colour if I have previously visited that page referenced by that link. This was an easy way for me to keep track of which pages I have accessed before. In the past, Firefox would retain this information so that I could see where I had been even if I last visited the site several years in the past. At present, if I visited the site more than 6 months ago, I can no longer see it. How can I change the settings so that my browsing history is retained indefinitely?.

I have backups of the AppData profile folders which I'm hoping that I can restore once the setting is changed so that I can once again see my history on this website.

There was an electrical outage and I lost all of my settings,pictures,bookmarks,documents,home page,every thing and I can't get it back....I have tried everything I know (which isn't much) to try and get it back,like a restore,downloading Firefox again thinking that would bring everything back,but nothing I did worked...I really need to get all of that information back up and running again as I have extremely important messages and emails I just can't afford to loose. How can I get my home page back, along with all my other settings? It is so important that I get all of it back !! Can an electrical outage erase everything off of a computer and if so is it lost for good or can I get it back? Please, Help!! Thank you :)

Ever since a recent update, my animated wallpaper for Firefox only plays one frame, and then freezes. If i switch or refresh tabs sometimes it can trigger the GIF to start playing normally, but 90% of the time the background stays frozen, I don't think this issue is related to my PC because the wallpaper was working fine before the Firefox update, and I'm having the exact same issue on my laptop too.

Hi Community,

I’ve used Firefox for over 20 years and it’s always been my main browser, but since updating my Mac to macOS 27, Firefox has become unusable with one of my essential web apps (FlightLogger). The first page after logging in loads normally, but any click or navigation after that fails. The header stays visible, the rest of the page stays blank, and clicking links only adds a “#” to the URL with no content loading.

Safari works perfectly on the same machine and same network.

In Firefox’s console, every JavaScript file coming from CloudFront fails with “CORS request did not succeed (Status code: null)”, and I also see repeated “A ServiceWorker intercepted the request and encountered an unexpected error” messages. Module scripts are also blocked with “Module source URI is not allowed in this document.”

To rule out local issues, I’ve already reinstalled Firefox, created new profiles, cleared all caches/cookies/service workers, disabled all extensions, disabled DNS‑over‑HTTPS, disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection, reset macOS network settings, checked proxy settings, and tried different networks. The problem persists even with a completely fresh Firefox install and profile.

This started immediately after upgrading to macOS 27, and only affects Firefox. Safari loads the same CloudFront assets without any issue. It looks like Firefox can load the initial HTML but cannot fetch any CloudFront‑hosted JavaScript modules, which breaks navigation entirely.

Has anyone else seen this after updating to macOS 27, or found a workaround? I’d really like to keep using Firefox as my main browser.

Thanks in advance

My desktop Firefox (version 155.0.1) has recently became unable to consistently access the Web site at this Web site this Web site. Chrome successfully accesses the site 100% of the time. Firefox's connection failures are intermittent, unpredictable, and usually go away on their own after varying time intervals (sometimes can't connect for up to 24 hours). I see status messages saying Firefox is trying to connect to the site, but it eventually gives up and times out.

I cleared the Firefox cache, but that had no effect. I don't recall making any significant changes to the Firefox settings lately. Any suggestions on what to look at/try would be greatly appreciated.

(Yes, I know the site doesn't use https: Its protocol is outside my control).

How to force Firefox to display current search results. The internet has become like local FM radio. You can never find or hear what you want. When I search for latest news I don't want to read about Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama. Is there a setting to only show the latest results?

I just recently installed the VPN on Firefox. It hadn't shown up because of my privacy settings. It works fine except for the United States connection. When I choose the other countries, it works fine, but when I choose United States, it still shows Japan (where I live). It still shows Japan, but it does have an effect. It changes it to Tokyo, where I don't live. So, the vpn is having some effect, but it is just not connecting to the United States. Why is that?

Mozilla Firefox keeps crashing repeatedly while I am searching or typing, and the problem persists. Why is this happening, and what is the solution? I request you to investigate and fix this crashing issue as soon as possible.

In the Settings, the "HTTPS-Only" feature seems broken. There is an option to 'Don't enable" this feature, but that doesn't make any difference. I can get to an "http:" site using any other browser, but not with the latest Firefox.

Hello, this is the basic problem:

The short version is that there is a problem with Firefox not interacting with the scrub bar and volume bar. (all other controls work fine) We know it's a Firefox thing because everything works with Brave. (or an interaction between Firefox and the OS at least, Firefox is heavily involved)

There is more detail and we have done some work on it here: CashyOS forum post

You can use the Firefox manifesto V0.2. video for an example, as it displays all the above problems for me.

I can get you guys whatever other data might be needed, but I kinda need an idea where to look to try and fix this, as all the other posts I have managed to find don't seem to have similar enough issues to work.

Hello, hope your day is good. Since the internet wide announced date in mid June ;; where Microsoft made bios changes which blocked 3rd party vendors programs from fully connecting ,,, my laptop has not been able to ( run) Firefox ,, with out problems . Even to point where my laptop,, locks up . This summer of 2026 has been the worst computer stability issues ever. I’ve been forced to constantly hard stop my rig , spend hours with rebooting ,, and then using Revo to delete non MS apps ,, then download apps ,, especially FireFox Is there a permanent fix to get around the deranged tyrants at MS . Thank you

Firefox 156.0, Windows 11.

On dzen.ru/news mouse wheel scrolling jumps back up. On ozon.ru left-click on account menu items does nothing (middle-click and right-click → open in new tab work fine). Worked normally ~1 month ago. Clean profile doesn't help. Hardware acceleration is enabled (WebRender Layer Compositor).

Using the latest Firefox update with Windows 10. I've got three popups in the lower right corner of my screen (see uploaded image), and each refreshes periodically with a musical phrase that sounds like a smartphone notification. Though each says "Mozilla Firefox" in the upper left hand corner, the popups are present whether the browser is open or not. All three say, "via da75iiinaffc73ar8f20.yird-protect.pro".

I've already gone to Settings, cleared my History, made the recommended changes in Permissions and Data, and closed and reopened the browser. The popups remain.

Hello all, thank you in advance for your time. I've got a Lenovo running Linux (Zorin, an Ubuntu branch)

Crashes have been more and more frequent over the last couple weeks. Usually it closes only Firefox, sometimes it throws me back to the login screen, and rarely the computer crashes entirely. I've been trying to pin down the source of the crashes -- it hasn't only been Firefox, but most of the crashes are while FF is open.

THIS tab keeps crashing, as I type.

It seems to happen more often when I'm watching video.

Here are all the crash IDs within the last 24 hours: bp-dfb0bd40-4ce6-41bd-b9cb-ad0510260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-50a8400a-3439-4af4-b5c7-6e60f0260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-0893e979-6a06-40cc-ad0b-757210260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-8a1bbc36-9c1d-412c-a2cf-c4c040260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-4c97e699-dee7-470f-9f82-855760260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-4526b2af-908a-45be-89ae-293ef0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-60af27d7-aeef-4761-b86e-7595a0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-25b42dd1-3f54-4be4-bde7-801f60260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-e92ad4f9-b7d3-453e-8c5a-066910260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-d19f0c4c-9eb7-45d1-a7e7-978d90260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-b212719f-1daa-459c-8491-2c6cb0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-9effc3ad-0b73-43d2-839c-805a00260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-7e5b6de1-7a84-48ad-86c0-e07510260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-271c4c4f-9f81-480a-9815-5f5bf0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-956cef3e-25a1-4a8c-b7e1-668be0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-92a596e6-edc8-4920-9365-6e3e00260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-6e309137-bf0a-4ee1-8ddf-492b20260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-d3eadcae-1967-4c31-856f-284f80260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-e319008d-d7e3-4354-95db-846e10260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-ce80cf98-4aad-46ee-a2a2-40ccf0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-41734b4e-09d0-4dfe-ab7a-c74400260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-37752c09-a2ae-4f35-8ee6-62ee60260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-01aed5a5-d3da-4551-9646-eb73d0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-0d52d173-f46d-4d5c-b723-441930260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-5a9507dd-21f3-4be3-8d68-ad70f0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-0a5b5b7c-6400-41f7-ba67-c881b0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-2ff2f687-e231-4ac5-925a-fde060260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-1c9a1836-3ebe-40bd-ac76-182850260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-f4bbc332-be5c-48f7-8e6e-c008a0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-807e438c-9bb1-4056-b67b-48e870260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-b422a84c-4096-4ab8-926c-d63030260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-9740f00f-a1ac-4fce-96b3-704940260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-0a571a75-602f-4802-98df-22ee30260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-5f7a41ac-f92a-42b3-96bc-6dda70260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-d81a88f6-3da4-4e15-8669-352390260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-324a6102-496b-4724-9deb-3532f0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-40969791-0669-4158-abd6-b57230260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-7b5c8e37-6cfe-4027-9bd1-fc0d80260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-62dbac62-1feb-47a6-be53-bd8b10260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-9197029c-0719-4294-bc37-e7f320260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-941d7f54-5b2e-4783-83f2-66c330260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-00202476-8680-4295-8a76-a97db0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-027dfa8e-f3e1-44e9-a405-1ae350260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-369f58c9-4456-4578-977e-49cfe0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-78c25147-3a9c-4ad8-9210-eb0ca0260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-f1f4b2b3-0885-4259-8dd3-bfa700260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-72d20621-92ea-417a-b063-deba40260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-721a4c72-ab3c-4ea0-8428-72b6d0260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-ffb02689-cb96-48e2-ab89-1c7f10260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-407b7ac2-8d4c-404d-974a-96d790260912 13/09/2026, 0:37 View bp-9decd8ef-b380-4bfe-8264-6841b0260911 11/09/2026, 22:40 View bp-c9a8eae8-8723-48ba-aab0-48db10260908 08/09/2026, 22:57 View bp-e0ac525c-a6c7-4af5-abe8-0ab5e0260913 13/09/2026, 11:16 View bp-91be494d-2e41-42b7-9330-e49630260913
