Firefox Community Forum

I searched google with this in the search bar: " HP desktop running windows 10 using Mozilla Firefox and can't disable pop up after I click on File and click onemail link using Firefox browser.

I was unable to find the BLOCK POPUPS under privacy and secyrity and I tried 3 of the other suggestions google gaveme with the search therm listed above e and I can't seem to disable or block the popup after clicking on File, thenclick on email link in your browser.

What happens is: A bluish envelope pops up and makes a sound like it is sending the email link and then the envelope disappeaars. I don't know where it issending the link.

Please try the search term I used in Google and listed above and see if you can figure out a better step by step way to get rid of that POPUP, or block it, or delete itentirely.

I jjust want the old and very convenient esult I had before the update and it was soeasy to email limk and I would type in the address with a shortmessage of why I'm sendingthat link: usually to afamily member or afriend.

Thank you for any help/advice you can offer.

Yesterday, possibly related to updating to version 148, my profile completely disappaered. My old profiles are not visible under about:profiles, but are present on disk. They can not be imported with firefox -P. How do I get my profile data back?

As the title says, with both with https and http firefox displays this warning:

But no way to bypass it, trying to login to my ubiquiti edgerouter at http://192.168.1.1 or https://192.168.1.1

What can i do?

I was using the weather, clock and image of the day widgets. Yesterday they were on my start and now they are missing. When I look under settings and home, widgets are not listed. How can I get them back?

I recently switched to Linux on both my laptop and desktop computers, and I have started having an issue where after closing Firefox, the process does not end fully, leading to a Firefox crash notice after a minute or two.

This seems to only happen when I have sync turned on. It always says "syncing..." and never finishes, and logging out of my account or turning sync off fixes this problem. However, I'd really like to be able to use sync across my two systems.

My laptop is running Pop OS, and my desktop is running CachyOS. Making a new account fixed this error for a few days, and now it is happening again.

Here is my newest crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/9adbdc82-3cfa-49b7-8bad-e6e590260319

how can i restore control of my device? I keep receiving this: "someone else, like a parent or administrator, controls settings on the network, browser or device that you’re using", but it is my device and I am a 41 year old adult.

Firefox desktop saved logins not appearing on android. Sync enabled on both devices yesterday. Previously worked fine, kinda frustrating having to manually re enter everything.

Subject: Feedback: Please Show Full URLs by Default and Disable “Show Search Terms in Address Bar” by Default

Hello Mozilla Firefox Team,

I would like to suggest two changes to Firefox’s default address bar behavior that would improve transparency, usability, and user trust.

1. Show Full URL Addresses by Default

  Currently, Firefox hides parts of the URL such as “https://” and sometimes simplifies the displayed address. I believe Firefox should display the complete URL at all times by default, including:

• Protocol (`https://`)
• Full subdomains (`www`, `m`, etc.)
• Complete path when relevant

Displaying the full address helps users:

• Better verify website authenticity
• Detect phishing or deceptive domains more easily
• Understand exactly where they are navigating
• Maintain consistency with technical and professional workflows

2. Disable “Show Search Terms in the Address Bar on Results Pages” by Default

  The feature that replaces the actual search engine URL with the search query text can be confusing and reduces transparency. Many users expect the address bar to show the real URL of the page they are visiting.

I recommend disabling this feature by default because:

• It hides useful navigational information
• It makes copying/searching URLs less predictable
• It can create ambiguity about the actual site/page being viewed
• Advanced and privacy-conscious users generally prefer seeing the real URL

Users who prefer the simplified search-term display could still enable it manually in settings.

Firefox has traditionally been a browser focused on user control, openness, and transparency. These changes would align well with those principles.

Thank you for your work on Firefox and for considering this feedback.
