Regarding the new built in Firefox VPN. If I have Tabs open and Enable the VPN on a New Tab, does it then affect all previously opened Tabs, only the New Tab, only the New Tab and Tabs opened after that initial New Tab, or ? Also, is there a Meter Display or similar so I know how much of the 50GB VPN allotment has been used or is remaining ? Thank you, very kindly ...-- J V

I've been using alt+a to open new tabs in a multi account container for a long time. Recently that shortcut stopped working possibly with the update to v148 as indicated in this reddit thread.

alt+a is not listed as a shortcut in about:keyboard or in about:addons > manage extension shortcuts or in my ubuntu shortcuts nor in any software I can think of thats running. I've disabled all my add-ons except multi account containers to no avail. I can change the shortcut to another and it works fine.

Why would just that shortcut stop working? What else can I do to diagnose the problem?

I generally get Firefox to save all my logins and passwords. However, I have several websites excepted. Recently, I tried to enter another 'exception' but Firefox isn't registering it i.e. it opens that logon page with all the details, including password, already entered, despite multiple attempts to have it saved as an exception.

On Firefox version 140.8 using a MacBook Air, shortcuts for Extensions no longer appear as icons in the toolbar.

Online guidance to get Extension icons back in the Toolbar have failed. One suggested following the jigsaw icon in the toolbar to 'Extensions'. But none of the links under Extensions included the option to 'pin to the toolbar'. Another suggested using the 'Customizing the Toolbar' route. That too included no option to add Extensions.

Anyone know a better fix? Your suggestions are much appreciated!

Hello, Mozilla. I really appreciate the way you think about internet access. What you stated about the app is truly reflected within it: fast connections, accurate results, and most importantly, the security. However, when it comes to advertisements, I was really expecting that whenever I watch YouTube contents, there will be no ads shown. To my surprise, ads are still there. I provided a snapshot of my desktop to give a proof about this. Is there somehow a way to get rid of them, like perhaps an extension to block ads? If there's none, that's fine as well. Thank you and high praise to the developers of this browser.

on other webpages a black bar drops down from the bookmarks bar and blocks the top of the pages, how do i get rid of it? oddly on this page, the bar does not show up

Hello,

I've been using the profile manager, and wanted to delete a profile that i have made. However, when i select the option to delete it, it only opens up a new tab in the profile called "about:deleteprofile', which displays an empty page and does nothing. Then, I would try to delete the profile manually, in the profiles folder, but if I opened firefox or restarted my computer, it would just come back. I have attatched the relevant images below.

There is an issue with MKV video playback with MP3 audio track in FireFox. The problem is that MKV video plays MP3 audio track without any sound. With AAC audio track the problem is that MKV video initially downloads whole video and only then plays it. In comparison with MP3 and AAC the benefit of MP3 is much better quality and it starts playing without downloading whole video like MP4.

It would be nice if you add support MKV video with MP3 audio playback.

I have enabled the option to open the previous windows and tabs. I had one window that I always closed last as it had a lot of groups that are important for my work, so it used to open every time I started Firefox. Sometimes, even if I closed the window by mistake without closing other windows, I was able to get it back by pressing ctrl+shift+n.

But yesterday, I might have closed it by mistake and when I pressed ctrl+shift+n , it didn't come back. I wasn't able to access my window and now it's all gone. I don't see anything in recently closed windows in history.

I need those tabs back as they are very important for my work. they were a lot of tabs. I had many groups but now all are gone. I tried by using the previous.jsonlz4 in the sessionstore-backup by renaming it in the default-release profile as sesstionstore.jsonlz4 but still wasn't able to access my window.

I didn't clear my history as the tabs opened in the window still show up in the history.

Kindly help as soon as possible

Hello and good afternoon. I have a problem with my last session as it doesn't appear, even when I try to do it manually in Settings-History-Import and backup-Restore, it shows me some options of different dates with all my last browser history, but none of them works, it simply doesn't open any of the web pages. I don't have any other profile, and I already tried the troubleshooting too I Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

I want to disable AI on Firefox. I noted a response to another request, that in the first quarter of 2026 something will/may be introduced to allow users to choose not to have an AI input on their Firefox. When will this be available?

I can see why AI summaries on Google searches can sometimes be useful. But I don't have any need for AI-related things on my browser and certainly don't want to contribute to AI's impact on resources etc.

It should be a simple yes/no choice. If it's too complicated to provide a yes/no choice that itself is a very strong indication that there's good reason for needing that choice. What is happening, and when?
