Hi I use Firefox for years (decades probably). How on earth is it possible that after an upgrade (to 151), I had to manipulate about:config in order to allow unsigned extensions to keep working? Of course, I am not dealing with DIY extensions, but with small and unknown extensions as AdBlocker or uBlock origin... It doesn't seem I am the only one... Any explanation will be warmly accepted...

Hello, I am experiencing an annoying layout issue with the New Tab page in Firefox. The spacing between my Top Sites icons is way too large, making the grid look unnaturally stretched out and leaving too much empty space on the screen.Here is the weird behavior I noticed:When I run Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (Safe Mode), the layout looks perfectly fine, tight, and compact — exactly how it used to be.If I use the "Refresh Firefox" feature, the compact layout returns to normal in the regular mode, but only temporarily.As soon as I launch Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode again and then switch back to the normal profile, the layout breaks once more, and the huge gaps between the shortcuts reappear. (the white bar is the safe mode)

I haven't been able to move tabs around for days. Not since I tried to take some 'out' to make a new window, and Firefox straight up crashed ...repeatedly. After I gave up, I noticed the tabs no longer moved.

I ignored it a few days, but its frankly very annoying! I checked for answers & found an old post from 5 yrs ago here & followed the advice. Or I tried to, but when I checked "browser.tabs.allowTabDetach" in "about:config" it was already set to "true". I even toggled it a few times (I even tried to see if it would move when set to false! ...counterintuitive, but I figured it was worth a try?)

Anyhow "browser.tabs.allowTabDetach" is still set to true, and I'm not about to go monkeying with all that :\

(fair warning, while I know how to alter a config under clear instructions ...my experience with such things starts and ends with the config files for Stardew Valley mods)

advice I found, which doesn't work/apply??- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1302126

On the home screen all the boxes are greyed out. I guess they are meant to be links to videos and information, weather etc etc? I am on Windows 11, my version is up to date (151.0.3 (64-bit).

I have cleared cache etc and troubleshooter to reset Firefox but still no good. I have recently gone back to FF from Chrome as Chrome has so many issues.

Nice GUI interface for importing old firefox profiles

I've been a loyal Firefox user since version 2.0. but to this day you guys have not made it easier for users to restore Firefox profiles. We in 2026 should be able to do the following directly from the user interface of Firefox. honestly its really taken me a long time to voice this opinion but it makes the app a tad less user friendly. i mean its easier to import from another browser but you have to pull out and search all sorts of folders to import from an old Firefox installation or a windows refresh (windows.old). Please, please implement this ASAP. we users have waited too long.

1. display a list of profiles (even from windows.old after a windows refresh) 2. automatically import that information 3. append existing bookmarks from the bookmarks backup if i choose to. 4. be able to browse the bookmarks and show the most recently used ones 5. be able to even reinstall the existing plugins (this one is minor)


the image attached is exactly showing what happens after a windows refresh. this feature is also great for administrators.

The Firefox main screen has about 2" of space on 3 ides. The icons are so far down (the 4th side) that I cannot read the second line without moving the page up. Many of the web sites I load are off kilter, mostly NYT and Facebook games which always have to be adjusted to a place where they are on the screen correctly. I have spent several hours searching through forums, resetting , refreshing , changing zoom, you name it. I then repeated the process with Gemini, at which point it seemed I only Made the Google search bar smaller but by now I m not even sure.
