Maybe settings?

I started getting a different login screen for yahoo and so I was on the lookout for the https:// that would ensure I'm at a real website. I noticed that I don't get any https:// on anything in my FF esr 140. Even if I enter it with the address, it disappears as soon as I click to open the website. I tried out Edge and the https:// is there. Is there some reason this is being removed in FF, as it is something reassuring and doesn't take up much space.

Thank you!

Sometimes, after restarts, FF forgets every site I'm logged into. Open tabs persist, the login sessions do not. I have no better observation of when this happens, I'm afraid - it's not every time. Because of this it's very hard to reproduce reliably - over the past 2 weeks, it didn't happen and now it was 2 days in a row. "Clear cookies and site data" is definitely off. I have no extensions apart from Dark Reader and uBlock. Because my daily work requires me to use a dozen sites I have to log into, all using 2FA, this is incredibly annoying. I have also completely reset my profile, which did help for a while but then it started again - so I'm thinking the profile reset was more of a coincidence than actual causality.

I want to transfer three FOLDERS from Firefox bookmarks to Chrome, then to Edge.

All the single bookmarks are transferred, but the Folders do not transfer.

These three folders contain hundreds of E-Bay searches.

I am trying to move these three folders to E-Bay as E-Bay seems broken for several days.

Sometimes the first folder will open all searches, but if you click on an item, receive access violation.

A real chore to break out the individual searches, transfer to Edge, then rebuilt the folders.....

Appreciate any advice!!!

I see many complaints about this new version v 149 for the Mac. The most outrageous one is that you can no longer drag links from a browser page (try BBC) to an email or a doc. You have to copy the link then it won't turn blue and only when received will it show up as a link. Like many others after 30 years use preferred over Safari and others I am seriously losing patience with Firefox. On the very day you announce split screen for Ff windows - you disable a vital feature that has worked for years causing me to waste so far 60 minutes of my hard pressed work time. Maybe this will be corrected in the next upgrade. But I am now intending to avoid all Firefox upgrades for 6 months after being offered. I doubt anyone on this forum will come back on this but my set-up is Mac OS Monterey - and Firefox v 148 worked perfectly before today. I hesitate to try and install the previous version because I am not used to doing such tech moves. Perhaps someone in the Mozilla head office congratulating themselves on the marvellous new upgrade will come across this but I doubt it

I can't sign into my RBS Digital Banking page using Firefox. The display flips back and forth uncontrollably from Login page to Are You still Here? page. Login via Safari is as normal .. but Firefox is my preferred browser.

Title.

Keyboard focus properly defaults to the address bar for new normal windows, and new tabs both normal and private. It is ONLY in new private windows that the address bar does not auto-grab keyboard input.

The address bar is highlighted as though it SHOULD have input focus, but typing does nothing until I click in the address bar manually.

This is unfathomably annoying. I've tried fiddling with various settings in about:config, and I've tried running in troubleshoot mode to rule out extensions causing the issue. Also tried a fresh firefox profile and the issue persisted.

When will FireFox VPN be available in South Africa? I've always used FF and really like the way it works. I'm a pensioner (retired head of Cybersecurity) and appreciate that your offerings are free. However if i wish to make a contribution how do i do that? Kudos to everyone!

I keep getting this message:

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, login.microsoftonline.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window. What can you do about it?

I can't open the link in a new window as I have to click on a tab and when I right click on the tab it only gives the pop up box that says "take a screen shot" etc.

I tried "allowing" the website for pop-ups but it still didn't work. I don't know what to do now.

This new issue is puzzling:

Normally, on MacOS, when you minimize an app that's currently running and occupying the desktop, say by clicking the orange button at top left or by clicking another app, its menu would disappear from the top toolbar and other apps could then be invoked. Clicking that app icon again would restore it to the screen and its menu would again be on the top toolbar.

But Firefox has stopped allowing that behavior: Now, when I try to minimize Firefox, while its screen minimizes (revealing the desktop underneath), its menu remains on the top toolbar. It is as if Firefox refuses to let go of the controls. So, while you can see the other icons on the desktop - say file folders - they are unresponsive to clicks and do not open when you click them, as if Firefox is not letting you access File Manager.

Furthermore, you can still access these desktop file folders, but only by opening the finder using the bottom toolbar menu, not by clicking the file icons directly.

For what it's worth, all menus are still responsive (bottom toolbar, top toolbar, apple menu), just nothing that's on the desktop responds when Firefox is still running, despite being minimized.

After latest update Firefox Developer Edition 151.0 Beta 4 I noticed much slower website loading while using few containers at the same time and overall more lag. Before the update everything was great and smooth I hope it's gonna get fixed soon.

Hi I am a theme girl and have tried many over time. I had never used the Dynamic Theme which is supposed to change from day to night along with what it's doing outside. It was kind of bland (sorry to the creator) so I tried to change it to another one and it worked just fine. When I came back to my computer it had changed back to the Dynamic one again. Again I changed it then it was back again. Yesterday I actually removed it from my list of addons and now it's back again. How do I stop it? Thanks for any help. ♥

Thanks

Is there any work being done to add the option to order the password autofill dropdown to order those entries by recently used rather than alphabetically. See screenshot

I use Linux Mint and I have been experiencing numerous system crashes involving Firefox which requires a cold boot. What is the problem? How can I debug this? Are you getting crash reports?’

This happens several times a week. It has happened continuously tonight since installing the latest update via the Software Manager.

The program causes a total freeze of the OS. All other running programs and all input sources. I have no choice but to shut down via the power button on the tower.

Mint generates crash reports but I have no way to determine if they are being sent to Mozilla.

Firefox for Linux does not provide a troubleshooting system like it does on Windows. Neither does Mint.

I studied Computer Science in the 80s when Firefox was known as Navigator. I learned C and the Unix OS, but since then I became a psychologist, and don't remember too much of the Com Sci stuff I learned and I don't think Mint allows user modifications anyway.

What can be done to fix this? I don't have the Benjamins to buy a new Windows to replace the Linux, nor do I want to.

My personal laptop was being repaired, and I was using my mom's old laptop until mine was fixed. I logged out of her Mozilla account on that laptop and signed into my own. Now that I have my personal laptop back, all of my passwords, bookmarks, and extensions are mixed in with all of hers. I don't know what to do, and I'm worried that if I remove bookmarks from my account, it'll create a domino effect that results in a catastrophic Mother's Day.... Please help, I'm not good with technology, I'm just a geology major.
