Firefox Community Forum

When I click on an email in the left-hand list column it now opens the email in an irritating pop-up window. Just started doing this annoying this this past week. I DON'T want it to open the email up again--just want to read it in the right hand display screen. How can I stop this extremenly annoying thing from happening. Never did it before. Don't need it. Extra work. Just want to see the list on left, message on right and NOT pop up into new separate window. Can you tell me how to get rid of this unwanted 'feature?'

I had a Windows update problem that forced me into a clean install yesterday. When I reinstalled Firefox, I forgot to have it put an icon for private browsing on the taskbar during the setup. Is there a way to do this without uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox? I can't find the option on the app menu.

I could swear when I went from one computer to another computer and signed into firefox that it showed me all my bookmarks, addons and extensions.

I'm on another new computer many years later and when I signed into my account I don't see my bookmarks, extensions and addons anymore.

Anything change since many years ago?

I am unable to remove add on themes. The remove button is not provided. Only manage which enables the theme. I do not want these themes and want them removed now. mac ios

I Uploaded several jpg images to GitHub of various file-sizes using a command line tool called Upgit:

Image 2: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/futuremotiondev/general-storage/refs/heads/main/WallpapersTest3/aesthetic-black-wallpaper-for-pc-4.jpg

Image 5: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/futuremotiondev/general-storage/refs/heads/main/WallpapersTest3/andre-benz-cXU6tNxhub0-unsplash.jpg

Notice that if you open image 5, it prompts to save it or open it in an external application (or just downloads it, depending on your download settings). All the other images just simply load and appear in their tabs.

Is there a configuration setting in about:config that determines the file size threshold for this behavior?

Try it yourself: Open image 5. It will prompt you or download the image automatically whereas the other images just display in tabs.

How can I disable this behavior?

Any help greatly appreciated.

This is my first time using this support. I got an email from someone asking me a question. I replied ot the email but it came back, and I see it is a "no-reply@" email. How do I find this person to respond or where is my question & the thread housed here? I would think you would make it more obvious & easy to find.

Thankx, Judy

Hello! Yesterday (03/16/2025) I received a message that the ChatZilla add-on to Firefox will be disabled on the next restart of FireFox. The message indicates that the extension could not be "verified".

I am using a VERY old computer for ChatZilla only: Windows XP Firefox 48.0.2 ChatZilla 0.9.92

I don't care about the age and inability to update any of the software, but I need to continue to use ChatZilla on this platform.

I have used ChatZilla on this machine for a very long time and do need to continue. Is there any way that I can make this work without having ChatZilla automatically disabled at the next restart of Firefox?

After updating my Apple operating system to Soia equoia 15.3.2 Firefox will not open in any other accounts other than the administrators. A prompt appears stating Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool. When myself as administrator logs in to install it, it will not do anything and the application does not open. Firefox does work fine when I have my administrator account logged into. Firefox has never had a problem on this computer until the update to 15.3.2 occurred.

One morning could not connect to email/ATT. This is the error message I got: Something's gone wrong We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over. ATT came to home to look into hookup, etc. Could not fix. They advised Firefox could be corrupted. Should I reinstall Firefox. Had to go thru Chrome for email. Have Windows 11. Thank you.

I need to install the Foxyproxy and the Wappalyzer, I do trust them but i don't understand why is Firefox disabling them while I have been using them for a while now WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM...

You don't even give a clear solution to why and how I can resolve this case on time so i can keep using the browser....issues like these make us users switch to more reliable,easy,supportive and less complex browsers.
