My current version of Firefox is 151.0.4 (64-bit) & for the past 2 weeks or so every time I use the search bar to google something it triggers one of those "We've detected unusual activity from your network" requiring a Captcha. At first I tried all of the typical stuff [antivirus, vpn, extensions, etc...] to make sure that wasn't the issue. But as of yesterday & confirmed today I can actually go to Google's website first & do the search from there with no issue & no captcha.

So, whatever the issue is has to do specifically with doing the search via the search bar... for some reason. Is this a bug in the browser, or is there perhaps some setting that could cause this to happen in the about:config page? Though, I doubt a setting could be it because I've changed the settings I've changed now for years without causing this issue.

The VIEW tab in my Firefox will/can read some links and articles to me. It is wonderful.Choosing 'READER VIEW' in the VIEW tab. But some it does not. I'm hoping some AI will have this feature.- speaking it to me. Thanks.

As the title suggests, here’s something that caught my attention in the new settings screen. Specify directly from about:config ↓ Change `network.trr.mode`

Value Behavior 0 Do not use DoH 2 TRR-first 3 TRR-only 5 User explicitly disables DoH

Does this provide the same effect as the “Strong Protection” and “Maximum Protection” options that were available in the previous settings screen? I would appreciate your response.

I'm very disappointed that DirecTV no longer allows me to login to my account from my Firefox browser. They now allow me to login only if I'm using either Chrome or Edge.

Overnight firefox doesn't launch anymore.

I have firefox installed via Software Manager flatpak (official Mozilla version) but it doesn't launch anymore. Clicking launch does nothing. Version is 156.0

I tried to launch the program in safe mode via console but it straight up doesn't find it?

I would love to add troubleshooting info but I can't actually get to it. I assume an update broke something but no idea how to solve this, can I go to an earlier version?

what it says on the tin. went data purging with ol reliable WinDirStat and found this absolute behemoth of a file in the profiles directory for firefox. its especially weird considering the entire Firefox directory itself is only 1.5GB with this menace taking 1.3 of it. I cant imagine that bookmarks, search history, passwords, the works takes up any more than about 300mb. so im wondering if im just stuck in the early days of data or if the file really is just that girthy.

I use Firefox under Fedora (I'm two OS versions behind, must upgrade soon). I open very many tabs each day then work through them, theoretically every day, in practice they accumulate and I deal with them when I can. I rely on the tabs loading correctly on restart, but today they didn't, instead the set of tabs that were opened a few days ago loaded, and I lost everything I had done since then. Is there a way to retrieve the tabs that were opened just before this happened, ie around 15-20 hours ago? Ideally, again, I would merge them with the current ones, but reopening the old ones would take much much longer than reopening the new ones. Thank you for any advice.

I have installed the firefox browser using a firefox installer version 18.5.0.0. However, when I try to switch to vertical tabs, they are not activating, even when I try to click the sidebar button. Attached are screenshots showing a horizontal tab view working, while the vertical tab view is not working. How can I resolve this?

I updated my Mac to macOS Golden Gate. Tried to update Firefox from a non-admin account. It failed. Went to admin account, deleted Firefox and reinstalled from a new dmg download. All fine in the admin account. But the non-admin account (where I work day to day) won't even launch a Firefox window. It asks for admin access to install a helper. I can't see why it needs this but have given it via username and password, but it still doesn't launch. The dock icon says "Running in Background" when I hover over Firefox and the icon bounces. But no browser window

Hello Firefox team, on Firefox 156 64-bit, AI Controls show chatbot enabled in about:config, but the sidebar 'AI chatbot' entry and toggle are missing. Docs indicate this control should appear in Customize sidebar. Please advise if this is a UI exposure change or if there's a supported setting to restore it

I deleted the Firefox on my Sony mobile phone.

I go to play store wanting to download it but I can't find it from my Sony phone. Can you please help.

Thank you.
