I want to know how to stop auto-fill on any form and also prevent drop-down menus keeping email addresses or anything else, like passwords. I hate drop-down menus with info on them and , also, doing auto-fill.

Please offer suggestions. I have not had success researching on my own.

Thank you,

Major Flaw of Firefox Password Manager

It's been a certain amount of time since I've been waiting for Firefox to fix this major security flaw about the protection of saved password and I haven't seen any upgrade on this aspect. Let me explain : Firefox has the feature of Primary Password where we have to put a password to access the Password manager. Now there is a very big issue with this feature because if I go to any page for which I have saved my password, I just have to select the password and click the eye button to reveal the password, without even needing to put my Primary Password. I know there is a way of just disabling the auto-filling of password but for conveniency purposes it's just better to have a way to select the password. Could there be a way to either ask for the user to enter the Primary Password or implement a way to use the fingerprint to allow the filling of password as it's already the case in other browsers.

My questions are : Is the Firefox team aware of that ? and is there a way to hope that Firefox could finally implement a fingerprint unlock to access sensitive data like passwords ?

This is a feature request to allow users to change the order of tabs in the vertical tab bar. I would like new tabs to show up on top of the vertical tab bar rather than the bottom. I would also like the 'new tab' button to be at the top rather than the bottom of the browsers.

As of a few days ago (mid-October 2025), when I'm on an eBay listing page, nothing I click on works. I can navigate to my watchlist, selling pages, etc, so it seems like it's just the listing pages. When I'm on a listing page, if I click on the heart to "watch" an item, nothing happens. If I click on thumbnails in the photos to try and view other images than the main one, nothing happens. The buttons on the right for "Add to Cart", "Buy it Now", etc also do not function. I think it's been about 3 or 4 days since this problem started. I opened a listing page in Chrome and it worked as usual, all the buttons seemed functional.

MacOS 26.0.1 Tahoe Firefox 143.0.4 (aarch64)

There is a white border around the webpage content in the browser (screenshot attached). This border exists even in troubleshooting mode, with all extensions disabled, regardless of toolbars or theme, etc. The only place it does not appear is the about: pages (screenshot attached). I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and updated MacOS. The issue disappears when I quit and reopen Firefox but reappears when I resize the window. Is there some obvious checkbox setting I'm missing? I cannot figure out what is causing this. Thanks for any help.

I am on a newer desktop iMac. I only use Firefox. Google is my default. And yet.. Nowhere on my right click contextual menu is there a "Google Lens" option! According to the article on the Firefox home page, just having Google as your default search engine will give you that option on the right click menu. It does not exist, as you can see in the attached screenshot. If I am missing a step, I'd love to know what it is.

Hello,

Today my Google start up page turned Black. All other sites are normal colors. I tried basically all that I could to keep the background to system settings, no themes and no extensions added except for Image extensions (that I have no issues with). I have Firefox Version 144.0 (64-bit) On a Mac Mini OS 10.15.7

Should I do a Firefox Reset? Please help me with this issue.

Thank you, Phil Khoury

Hi, I rebooted Firefox today because a website was frozen, and when it came back, it was asking for a troubleshoot or just continue, and I don't know exactly what that meant, but when I clicked on refresh, everything was changed, including the theme. And then when I tried to restore the theme back to the original it said, add-ons are disabled by safety, and I don't know what that means, and it's not explaining how to undo it. And now everything looks different and I'm not happy with it, and it's not really letting me add any other themes, and if I add them, they don't seem to fully load, the page still looks all white
