Firefox Community Forum

I changed my language from Arabic and back, and now I see a little line attached to my cursor within all web pages that I visit, that I believe was added as a result of my language change to Arabic and then back. I have attached screenshots of what a normal cursor looks like vs what my cursor in firefox looks like now. I have not had this happen before today when I have switched between languages in the past. It looks normal within the Firefox address bar, but not within text boxes within web pages.

My current language settings are set to US English, but I keep the others as alternates to switch back and forth between.

My search engine has stopped working. I just get blank pages when I enter any subject in the search bar. I am forced to open a private window which always works without issues. Closely related to this problem I believe, is the fact that any online forms I try to complete and submit will not submit. Again if I copy and paste the address into a private window, I can complete and submit without any issues.

It is getting very frustrating to keep having to go private windows.

When I open a new tab, it opens fine, I get all the articles as per normal. But when I enter my search criteria I get nothing (see attached screenshots)

I used to have an occasional sound problem with FF, usually felt when YT clips could not be heard any more. I mean to remember that it could be fixed (until next time) by restarting the file explorer somewhere in Task Manager - not a convincing solution but one I could live with.

Today, there's a new situation. Again, trigger was the missing YT sound in FF - not in fx Edge, and that the Task Manager trick didn't work (or maybe I restarted the file manager in the wrong tab?). Looking for a solution, I happened to see that the YT mute function in the FF tabs seems to be gone. However, other sounds are affected likewise. Also, I can't see them in Edge either. After various restarts (or maybe something else I did, instigated by the various instructions I found?), the sound is back.

However, while continuing to pursue possible solutions, I also happened to find that my browser is being 'administered by my organisation' - what ever that means (see two annexes). Who did that? I would say, this is not something I did, I would prefer to see it gone. But how? Will the other browsers (which I keep as a spare, and that I'm hardly familiar with) be likewise affected?

This is an equation with too many unknowns for my limited knowledge, are such effects known? Would there be an approved way-out for it?

PS I have checked https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1412934 especially the message posted by lazizakhmedov1014, and do not see this to apply to me - short of a reinstall - FYI

I have FullShot 10 which used to show my extra buttons in the FF toolbar. A few updates ago these buttons have disappeared from FF which is really inconvenient. Those buttons still appear in MSFT Edge. I cannot take a screen capture because taking a screen shot automatically makes the FS10 buttons disappear. FF10 is not add-on to FF, it is just a regular program to easy capture graphical screen information. FS10 has not been updated/altered in any way since its installation

Here are the dpkg/apt logs for update:

2025-03-19 12:33:16 configure firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 <none> 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status unpacked firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status half-configured firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status installed firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1

The problem is that when I tried opening gmail in my ubuntu, it is stuck at loading page, but other browsers like edge can open it without any problem (on the same system).

I tried every thing I can in the support forum of gmail/mozilla/others, but it's still stuck at loading.

That's all.

I already have "Automatically install updates" and "When Firefox is not running" enabled.

But after each Firefox update I still get the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." prompt and "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments" window. These are inconvenient as they require user input and take up time.

I don't get these on all other browsers I use (including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave), which all update in the background seamlessly.

Is there a way to prevent these in Firefox and just have Firefox update seamlessly in the background like other browsers?

Since the last update (136.0.4 (64bit)) firefox only partially shows an embedded google spreadsheet. It was fine in the previous version. Tried turning off enhanced tracking protection, but that didn't do anything.

Dear Support Team,

Ever since updating Firefox to the most recent version my pause/play button does not work with tabs open. (like youtube, spotify(browser) etc.)

I tested for mechanical issues, but those do not seem to be the issue, as the key itself work perfectly fine. Different apps (like netflix, and spotify(desktop)) do not have this issue.

If you require any additional information in regards to this inquiry don't hesitate to ask.

I did not ask to be cut on and cannot turn off!!!!

I have been using Linkman for over 15 years and have a very large collection of bookmarks. Is there anyway to enable it? I'd hate abandon Firebox as I do need this extension please help.

Thanks

Firefox suddenly and inexplicably started asking for my primary password twice when I start the browser. I am not in sync enabled mode. When I cancel the primary password request twice Firefox behaves normally. It does this even after I disable extensions and it does it when I start Firefox in troubleshooting safe mode. My other computer is not doing this.

I'm facing this problem of sound disappearance. I was casually browsing on YouTube when suddenly my sound went off. I thought maybe it was the internet but no everything was okay I also checked my speaker it was ok. Then I found out Firefox was unable to generate any sound. I tried to re-install but didn't work. Can you give me a solution?

I am looking for a solution that will allow links to open in the same tab rather than tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab. I am also having issue with sign ins opening a new blank tab and not having the ability to sign in at all. I've been using Firefox since I quit Netscape. And yes, I tried many epic fails that were disguised as solutions that don't work. I'm seriously about to give up on this browser if I can't get what I had after a SSD drive fail that forced me to reinstall from the ground up.

I have an issue where I will frequently get the error pictured on random sites. This started happening a few years ago at my previous home with my old computer. It got so annoying that I had to switch to Brave browser for a while. I recently moved to a new residence, I have a new computer, and a different ISP and equipment, so I thought I would give Firefox a try again. To my shock, the issue still occurs exactly the same way at the same rate. I would say it is as frequent as 1 in 5 sites that I visit. If I hit the Try Again button 5 or so times, the site will load. The only thing I can think of that is common to the old computer and the new one is my Firefox account. Could there be something in my settings causing this to happen? I remember that I even tried Librewolf before switching to Brave but the issue occurred there as well. Any assistance or tips would be appreciated, I feel like I am going crazy at this point. xD

Firefox 136.0. Previously: 1) No search engine sign in urlbar (left side). 2) When I pressed "en." in urlbar, it supported one-time go to Wikipedia search. For this I needed to press down arrow one time. Alternatively, with up arrow, I could move to any other search engine from the configured list. Now: 1) Search engine is present in urlbar for any entering into it. 2) To switch I have to press another selection (as suggested Wikipedia) with mouse, either to left or to down (where suggested) of the urlbar.

I want to return the old style with selection that works with keyboard.

Why do numbers appear next to some of my shortcuts on my Firefox shortcuts home page? See attached. I only have one tab or window open and this number (5) has incremented over time.
