Hi. I'm still new to Firefox and don't really know the settings very well. I recently switched over to using it and realized that when I use most drop down boxes the background of the drop down menu is black, but the text is white and the selection box (when you hover over the item) is also white. Making whatever I'm hovering over very hard to see. I'm wondering if I have a strange setting turned on or not?

Settings wise I have Firefox set to dark mode, not the auto. But when I use the auto it still happens. Trying it in safe mode it still happens. Iv tried to research this a little myself. And read something about the proton setting and turning that from true to false. But this also did not work.

Is there any way to fix this? I just need the text to be a different color or the selection box (when you hover over it) to be a different color.

Attached are two screenshots of what I'm seeing

Any time I allow a website to use my location on my home computer, it places me in a suburb in Las Vegas. However, I live near Seattle. This happens on multiple websites including Google Maps and Uber Eats, and on other browsers my location is correct. I'm not running any VPNs or proxy servers, I've verified that my IP address is linked to my correct location, and I've deleted all cache and cookies ("Everything" for time frame) from my history. Is there a way I can have an accurate location again?

I know there's a workaround, but that's beside the point. You don't break into someones home in order to re-organize it, that's just bad practice all around.

I usually use Nightly as my default browser in a Windows 11 system. Recently I started to get a new error message showing up when I try to select multiple messages in Yahoo e-mail. I select them by clicking on the first message, then holding down Shift and clicking on the last message in the range. That should turn on the selection boxes for all the messages between the two.

Now, when I press the Shift key, I get an error box right on top of where my mouse cursor is, so it interferes with me. The top of the box says "mail.yahoo.com", which is the web-site I'm signed in on. Then it has a link with the text "Login - Sign in to Yahoo". Below that is an ad for all the wonderful things I can get by signing in to Yahoo. At the bottom is an error message, "We can't generate key points for this webpage."

I tried the same action in the current General Release of Firefox, v140, and this does not happen. I suspect that this is an intrusion by some sort of AI software, but I don't know what setting might have been activated to turn this on. Does anyone have any idea how to turn it off?

Firefox recently started "eating" my tabs: closing them without my permission. There are several tabs I want to keep open at all times, because I refer to them from time to time throughout the day, but Firefox closes them from time to time. I googled the issue and the AI directed me to two settings: browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory and browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload. It suggested setting the first one to "false" and increasing the duration of the second, or setting it to "false." However, the setting will only accept numeric values.

Since I am not having low memory issues, I want Firefox to leave my tabs alone. Is there any way to actually do this? If not, it would be really nice if Firefox developers reversed this intrusive change.

Thank you, Terry

I'm having major problems with Firefox and was able to use it for a long time and I love the software to death. But it has given this problem that I have run into before which the only way I was able to fix it was a full wipe of my computer to factory settings. So with this I started to troubleshoot on what I could do and reinstall was the first and send commands to refresh the dns but I found to what seems to be a startup incomplete file in the Firefox software and it seems to create itself even when deleted. It could be this which is causing problems but all I know for certain that when I click on Firefox it won't open at all or startup. With the only evidence that it responded from task manager or a popup talking about wanting to refresh Firefox for 0.1 milliseconds

Every time I change the settings in the image attached, once I close the browser, the settings are reversed back. My changes do not persist if Firefox closes or my PC turns off. My other settings persist when I make changes. I only get this error when I try to edit the Privacy settings.

What is causing this, and how can I stop it?

Is there a way to permanently set sorting from A-Z? When I open a file & go to site, I then have to reset sorting within the folder when I go back. Using down arrow sends me to the next folder. Have been Mozilla user for decades but didn't open account until recently. Always set to my default, even on latest PC, in conjunction with other programs. Don't like Microsoft programs.

Guess I probably owe Mozilla a donation but have tight budget, as Sr. on Social Security. Maybe I can contribute a small amount if that would help?? Don't want a subscription. Can't afford it.

I have created several groups (currently 4 with a total of 11 tabs combined). When a group is closed, do those tabs become inactive, reducing their impact on Firefox/computer performance, or do they still remain active and impacting overall performance?
