I have new windows 11 laptop. I added firefox browser & made it my default. It displays a news feed upon starting. I've never seen this on earlier versions. How can I turn it off? I don't want anything displayed except a search box & my bookmarks. If this can't be disabled I will be looking for a different default browser :( Thanks.

Hello!

I use Mosaic, a window manager utility, for macOS. With a hotkey, I can move or resize a window according to a preconfigured grid.

This always has worked great with all different applications, and only in the past couple of months it stopped working with Firefox.

It appears to be related to the way Firefox is does animation of resizing or window movement. My hotkeys no longer have the effect on the Firefox window moving.

This is disruptive enough to my workflow that I have switched to Chrome, which doesn't have the same issue. I really am not okay with this solution, as Chrome is the worst for a software developer. Tab and session management in Firefox is the absolute best and I want to come back to FF.

Is there any way to completely disable whatever window animation features have recently been added to Firefox?

Firefox won't connect me to PRAYERDC.COM How do I get around the block?

Also, videos on facebook and in those emailed from friends on yahoo are not being played. What do I need to do to override this or fix whatever is malfunctioning?

I have just submitted Bug report # 132999, after being logged out of Outlook every time I closed it, a situation which started yesterday after a routine deletion of cookies and site data. Please would you delete this bug report as I have found the reason why I was having the problem. The reason is that without realising it I had ticked the box to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" I have now unticked that box and the problem has gone. So please accept my apology for any time wasted because of this bug report. Many thanks, and keep up the good work, Steve Evans.

i recently download firefox for a new computer when i went to search controls i noted that there was no choice for the address bar before i used the bar that had a search engines engine listed in the address bar but no i dont see it did something change at firefox i would still like a choice on watch search bar to use Im paul jensen beadoz@yahoo.co.uk

I recently upgraded my hardware and wiped my old drive, and I assumed I would be able to login through google directly and just recover my bookmarks that way. However, I can ONLY get in through a password (that I KNOW, but maybe its a character off, its driving me crazy) to recover my bookmarks despite being able to login to mozilla using my main email; which I have access to. I havent reset my password yet, so my bookmarks are probably still uploaded there. Very frustrating I was never notified that they changed it so that if you reset your password you lose your bookmarks, otherwise I would've written down this password. I've been collecting these bookmarks for years before this. is there a way to recover it through my gmail login?

Thanks for any help, Eric

No crash report, no trace, no anything. I click "Save [insert] as...", and Firefox hangs and stops responding. Windows automatically shuts it off when clicking. Launching Firefox again sometimes says there was a problem reloading the session, but that's not guaranteed.

My Firefox Menu dropdowns disappeared so I read that you should hit "alt" button to restore it. It only works temporarily and dropdowns disappear every 5 minutes. And Firefox is not saving passwords when I visit websites. (I checked and I still have all my passwords saved in Firefox Settings.) And I have "Fill usernames and passwords automatically" checked in Firefox Privacy Settings.

I started having problems with Firefox when I installed "Hide my IP" add-on because I wanted to change my IP address. I added it because I was getting website advertisement popups telling me to buy a VPN. I disabled "Hide my IP" yesterday. And I'm also getting more website popups now. Do I have to tweak Firefox Settings to stop all of these problems?

Firefox has been up-to-date and I'm using Windows 10.

In regular web pages, I'm able to hover over an URL / picture w/ URL behind it, etc.... It shows up on the status bar at the bottom of the page (that's what it used to be called). Sometimes I can't.

Somewhere around the same time as I started noticing this, I had just upgraded to a Win11 computer. So, when I try to hover over a suspicious link, I get nothing!

Is there code these people can put in that shields them from hover? So, we can't see what we're getting into? If so, then I presume if I can't hover, don't click... Right?

TIA

When I select a link in an email, it opens op Edge, rather than Firefox. This just started happening today. I have followed multiple options for making Firefox my default Browser, but nothing seems to work. I am using Windows 11 Home Addition. Thank You!

Hello, As of today, my computer stopped loading the windows and tabs which I had accumulated with information I was interested in learning more about. I had 15 windows and sometimes up to 20 tabs saved per window. I had been saving and the computer had been loading these for years prior to today. Did something change in Firefox that these have disappeared from my desktop?

‘I can't receive outlook mail today using Firefox. I receive message header but when I open it there's no message data. It works fine in Chrome. I can't forward a message it fails to connect to the server. When I try to delete messages it doesn't remove the item. Any suggestions?

fix the bug ASAP，the use of the newest version of firefox is not to sucks me in this way, but to provide customers with a better service, i do not know why i just updated and there is a problem. Fix it right now!!!!!!!!!!

While trying to add my existing bookmarks (from previous computer) I get message - SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

Please tell me what to do. I cannot find any reference to this message.

I have used Mozilla and Firefox for over 20 years now and thoroughly enjoyed it - but have never had and problems of this nature.

In case you need it my email is xxxxx@lola7.com

Thank you.

When I visit some pages and I usually press the back button fast on my mouse to get back to the start page in Firefox. And that creates a empty html file in my downloads folder with a random name.

The only extension I have is ColorZilla.

And I have 2 plugins:

• OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.
• Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc.

I'm using Firefox 122.0 on Windows, and it's been like this for as long as I remember, so at least a year. I never fiddle with anything in the browser so everything is like default installation besides the plugins and extension.

It usually happens when I'm on an ad heavy site and then spam the back button fast to get to the start page, and that's when that download popup shows some random file generated in Downloads. I can't recreate the issue now when trying, but it usually happens now and then.

I don't have any ad blockers, but I suspect that it might have to do with some ad not finished loading or something like that.

I'll attach a picture of my downloads folder. I usually just browse the web for like 2-4 hours a day, so you see it created quite a few files for one day.
