For some reason I cannot type anything in Google Docs on the Firefox Desktop Browser. In fact, it seems like the browser doesn't recognize that I'm using Google Docs at all - in my attempts to see what was up I tried to bold a word to see what would happen, but the Ctrl + B shortcut opened the Firefox bookmarks tab instead. This is happening across all my Google Accounts, but only on Firefox and only in Docs - I can edit sheets and forms without issue, I can edit them all on my Android through the google apps, and I can edit them in another browser.

This is an issue that happened suddenly yesterday and I cannot think of anything that's caused it. I double checked that I had editing permissions on these docs, asked the people who owned them to remove me and re-add me but no luck. I have cleared cache and cookies, logged out and back, restarted the browser, and restarted my computer. Though I haven't changed anything with my extensions recently, I tried deactivating and reactivating everything I had. None of this caused any difference and I still cannot edit. I've also tried a user-agent switcher to see if that could help, but no dice. It really does seem like the issue is firefox not recognizing Google Docs is Google Docs and I'm not sure what the fix for that would be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 laptops, one for work and one personally. I was looking to set-up firefox on my personal laptop as well but noticed I cannot open developer console on a specific element by pressing 'q' anymore after right clicking.

This is a significant feature and I would like to keep using it. Is it possible to enable this feature on my personal computer as well? Since it is still enabled on my work device.

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with the search bar on the Firefox homepage. When I click into the search field and begin typing, the cursor jumps to the address bar, and the text I’m entering gets redirected there instead of staying in the search bar.

I've checked my search settings, and everything seems to be in order. I’ve also tried disabling add-ons, but the issue persists. Could you please assist me in resolving this problem?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, Tivadar Tot

When I am browsing in either regular mode or safe mode, the scroll buttons for next or previous slide do not appear on the MSN web page. However, if I open a private browsing tab from either regular or safe mode, the scroll buttons appear and are functional. I am running Firefox version 129.0.2 (64 bit) on Windows 11 Home version 23H2. I have refreshed Firefox and also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have also toggled "always show scrollbars" on in Windows settings. No change. These scroll buttons function in other browsers (Edge, Chrome), but I prefer Firefox. Where do I go from here?

I am using FF 129.0 64 bit on Linux Mint. AFAIK all is up to the latest version.

When I log into my website admin on wordpress, my site gets redirected for a security check on the server (lightspeed or PC Guard). Once this is complete, the login continues.

Unfortunately for the last 6 weeks, my website redirects with a message, "Verifying that you are not a robot" and it hangs there permanently.

I have tried to get my server to disconnest Lightspeed and PC Guard (but then have NO security protection). Nothing seemed to work, and access was sproradic, but seemed best when FF was completely cleaned, cache, cookies, etc. However, even this did not guarantee a login.

Then I found that all worked perfectly using Chrome. Further, having logged in using Chrome, the FF version would now be unlocked and work perfectly.

So it seems as though FF is not clearing a status/flag/file somewhere and that Chrome clears this, leaving FF working again - for another 24 hours. Then the whole cycle starts again.

Any ideas?

Hello! I have been having certain visual bugs occurring within the Firefox browser, I do not know what's causing them but am hoping someone can help! Firefox keeps on adding or changing translucent white boxes to multiple websites, I have some from YouTube attached below but I've had this issue on multiple websites. I'm using an ARM architecture Surface Pro X and when I reached out to Microsoft they couldn't help me since the error was just in Firefox.

When I log in as admin to my wordpress website, firefox gets stuck in an endless reload loop.

Sometimes if I clear the browser history or open a private window, I can successfully log in and load a page - once. The page seems to load normally but there are 409 errors shown for many of the files in the developer tools.

If I reload the page again, it goes back to the endless loop.

This started when I installed a wordpress caching plugin, but the problem is specific to firefox, so I don't really know whether firefox or the plugin is actually responsible.

How could firefox be getting 409 errors when other browsers get normal 200 responses for the same resources?

Why is firefox triggering this reload loop, and is there a way I can stop it?

I cannot sign in to the New York Times today; on their main page it will not allow me to sign in to my account. I have called them, and apparently it is Firefox that is the problem. I can connect to any and all other sites. I can connect and sign in to the NYTimes from my iPad as well, so I believe it is the version on my Windows 11 laptop that is the problem. I've cleared all cookies and history, restarted my computer, re-booted my modem even, and closed my VPN, all to no avail. I have version 129.0.2, and it is up to date. It was working yesterday just fine. Is there another update coming to correct this?

Hello. Since re-installing ZoneAlarm Security Suite (due to a ZA problem) last evening, after I turned on my pc today I am getting a new tab opens up on every FireFox browser window seeking permissions for "Harmony Web Protection Privacy Policy". (There are four new tabs for that which have opened since I commenced typing this!).

Is this a ZA problem or a Firefox problem? Also, please, how do I get rid of these damned new tabs? TIA.

I'm not sure exactly when this behavior started, but I've noticed that when I click a link to an XPI file on a third-party web-site, Firefox no longer prompts to install the extension.

For instance, when I click the outlined link in the first screenshot, the second screenshot shows what happens.

on PC A, firefox just lost all open tabs (even pinned ones), history (for this device only thank gods), open windows.

I installed a windows yesterday on a different PC (lets call it B), and logged in with the same microsoft account PC A uses. Then installed firefox and logged in to sync (on PC B).

Did that somehow overwrite the profile? Even though it was a different PC?

On several site there's a greyed out box top right, which disables anything it covers, can't be got rid of, and makes using Firefox for these sites impossible. Help, please?? Thank you! (I'm having to use Chrome...)

I have noticed that on certain websites which have site search boxes on their webpages (e.g. reddit, tvtropes), if I click in the box to type a search term, it will display about five suggestions which I have searched in the long-distant past in some context which I no longer recall. I generally would prefer suggestions not to show up in the first place, and I don't know why these specific terms are the specific ones which show up. Since this issue happens with site-specific search engines, rather than the search engine associated with the address bar, I'm unsure how to delete these suggestions. I normally browse in private windows, and on the rare occasion that I don't, I usually delete my history, and am unsure how the suggestions came to persist, and to persist only in the context I describe? If anyone can help, I'd be thankful.

With Yahoo (and other sites) suddenly every single time I am required to use the "authenticator app" routine. I've gone for months or even years with persistent sign-ins before. What happened? How do I get back?

It's like I'm in private mode - but I'm not in private mode.

Hello, I did everything mentioned in support articles, but the tabs on firefox are still crashing frequently, sometimes the first I open, sometimes it's the third...
