My menu bar is missing. The instructions I have is to click on the open application menu, go to Customize, at the bottom click on 'Toolbars' and then on the menu bar to make the change. I have searched using obvious words like 'customize', 'toolbar'. and 'menu bar', but all I get is 'Not found'. Am I missing something here?

Hello,

When using the time zone widget the North American time zones appear as 3 letters rather than GMT +/-

How do I set North American cities to GMT? I do not live in North American so GMT would make more sense for people outside North America.

Thank You.

Why would the developers of Firefox remove the ability to select where an attachment can be saved?

This is like going back to the dark ages of web browsing.

I receive many attachments for my job, I don't want them all to save in the same location. It's a pain to have to retrieve them from my "Downloads" (or whatever) folder, to put them where they belong. This is not a small thing. It's a real pain to have everything go to the same location.

Other browsers allow you to choose where to save a particular file. I think Firefox used to allow that, too. Why would you change this?

I use Firefox for my work emails, but I think I will need to switch to another browser. 

I support a number of people in my job. I have been recommending Firefox to use. That will stop now.

"This website may not work with a VPN." Banner - even though I'm not using a VPN!

Hello everyone,

For the past few days, I've been seeing the following banner below the address bar on ardmediathek.de :

This website may not work with a VPN. Try signing in or turning VPN off while you use this website.

At first, I assumed this was some kind of anti-VPN or geo-blocking script from the media library itself. However, according to transvision.flod.org it appears to be related to Firefox's ipp-activator-breakage-sign-in-warning feature.

I don't have a VPN, proxy, or DoH enabled, and the VPN button isn't being displayed to me (yet) either. So why is IP Protection interfering here in the first place?

What I think of the ever-growing number of supposedly intelligent services that keep tinkering away in the background and seem to believe they need to take over users' tasks is probably better left unsaid. ;-)

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Best regards, Martin

I use eBird extensively. When I try to play the audio (with sonograms), I get a message that says "We are still processing this file. Try again later". These files perform well on my Android phone, so I know it it is not eBird's glitch. I am confused about the setting options on Firefox that I need to set. These files are usually .wav format. I have tried to open a ticket with eBird, but have not had a response. Can you guide me? Thanks.

Starting on June 9 2026 my Rockland Trust banking website will not open also other bank websites not opening or take several minutes to open, also other websites not opening. All these websites opened before June 9 2026. I have done all the recommended steps even uninstalling an reinstalling Firefox. What did Firefox do, as I had made no changes. I can open all these websites on other browsers, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, etc. I want to keep using Firefox but I can't if websites won't open. Clare O'Brien

Everytime I open firefox, a small window opens that tells me "Update available Download the latest version of firefox, Download or Dismiss". Hitting download saves the update for ver 151.0.4 to my harddrive. I have several of these files because of all the times I've updated forgetting that its already been updated to 151.0.4!

Why do you keep asking me to upgrade when I already did?

To get here I went to "mozilla support" and I clicked the box requesting you send me an email when someone replies to this. This "someone" implies that this person is part of your "community" not a mozilla employee, which is what "mozilla support" implies. After taking my time to follow your vague directives, I dont expect to get any help from you but I am hopeful.

I tried adding images which took me away from this page and when I tried coming back to this page, everything I typed was gone so I had to start over. So I'm not going to click on "share data" for the fear the same thing will happen. Thanks for that

There was nothing wrong everything was running perfect and smooth but then out of nowhere my youtube froze and I couldn't press anything on youtube tab, I could still close it or press the buttons on the sides/corners but on the youtube, it also doesn't refresh, this only happens on youtube and only on firefox when on other browsers, yes I unchecked hardware acceleration, I restarted my firefox many times, I cleared the cache, today I turned my adblockers too, i thought it turned into how it was before but then it froze again and now I couldn't even see youtube it was just black screen on that tab, like what do I do here, do I switch browsers? It eventually starts playing again after I wait for some minutes but I don't want that, I want it to work like how it did before this happened. Why did it even happen?!

Hallo Firefox Community, ich habe seit 2 Wochen das Problem, dass ich mich mit Firefox nicht mehr auf bestimmten Seiten einloggen kann bzw. die Seiten sich bei der Anmeldung nicht mehr laden. Z.B. bei Klarna komme ich nicht mehr in meinen Account. Mein PC läuft mit Win7 Prof. SP1, das letzte Update von Mozilla lautet: Firefox 115.36.0esr (20260514164700) Details Installiert am: 20. Mai 2026 um 13:41:44 Status: Das Update wurde erfolgreich installiert

Hoffe hier hat jemand eine Erklärung dafür. Ich bin auf mein Firefox angewiesen, verwende den Browser schon eine halbe Ewigkeit. Möchte ungern auf einen anderen Browser wechseln.

Danke an alle!

When opening a new page in Firefox I am shown a few widgets.

It shows the time of sports events and different timezones. But it shows this in a non-local time format - the 12 hour format (so it says 06:00 PM instead of 18:00).

In about:config I found a setting called "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.clocks.hourFormat" but what are the acceptable formats to use here? It's not a boolean value, and by default nothing is there. I tried writing 24, HH:mm, and some other things, but didn't notice a difference.
