Firefox Community Forum

Mozilla is the only search engine that recently has started to display pages and Ads in German. For years it was in English which is selected as the only preferred language in the settings, so its a very recent language phenomenon. What is wrong? It has started a couple months ago and I have been unable to get rid of this problem even by re-installing the browser.

I wrote to discogs.com support about a glitch on that site where autofilling my USA address always defaults to Guam (USA). This is what they said: Thank you for writing in! Sorry to hear of the difficulties here.

I was able to recreate the results you're receiving within Firefox, but was not able to recreate this within other browsers (Chrome, Safari), which were selecting the correct dropdown option (United States).

It appears this is an issue with how Firefox is interpreting our text fields, rather than a site bug. Autofill is a browser feature, rather than a site feature, and we unfortunately don't have the ability to modify which dropdown option Firefox selects when filling a free-text field.

For resolution, we would advise reporting this issue to Mozilla directly here:

If you have additional questions please let me know!

Is there anything to be done here? It's super annoying and discogs.com is not exactly a technical marvel.

Thanks d

I am tired of clicking and scrolling and clicking and scrolling to find something I use constantly. It's fine to bury "settings" in a menu because I only use it once or twice. But things that we constantly use daily should be prominently displayed front and center. When I make a user interface I always make the daily use items as easy as possible. Rare use items can be hidden away in a submenu because it will only rarely irritate users, and in fact, if it can be destructive, it should be buried deep in the menu tree so you don't click it by accident.

I'm not sure when this 136.0.1 update happened but starting today, firefox has been crashing all day. The symptom when I see it is I can't get to a website I then go over to the the help desk (open in firefox), which auto refreshes every couple minutes, is spinning (not updating). If I open a new instance the UI never completely loads. When I close things, then try to open, it says firefox already running and if to quit, yes, and just no UI completely loads. In the end, it will only start working again if I reboot. Several reports were sent to microsoft (the automatic notifying microsoft of issue).

I tried disabling all plugins and same thing still happens.

I do know the helpdesk website had a new certificate installed yesterday. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. It's not like firefox doesn't work when first bringing it up, it works for a while then all of a sudden doesn't? and then starts crashing.

Is anyone else having an issue with the latest version on Win10 x64 using the x64 version of FireFox?

I'm using chrome right now since it just crashed again in "not responding" state. I'd rather stay with FireFox.

Hi,

On my "new tab" page, the "add a shortcut" button is missing. I can pin, unpin, move, and dismiss shortcuts freely, but only those which automatically appear. Unfortunately the page I'd like to pin is not in the auto-generated shortcuts list (even expanded to 4 lines). It is in my recently bookmarked pages, but the context menu there does not allow adding it to the shortcuts. I use Windows, Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-13) (64-bit).

Thanks for any help, Pat

For some time now, firefox literally has NO horizontal scrollbar, even on sites when it is clearly needed.

How do I make it visible? Is it a Windows 10 & 11 thing?

Also, before anyone suggests it, several posts online mention to go to Settings > General > Browsing > Always show scrollbars. These posts are over a year old, however, and this option DOES NOT exist.

Thanks in advance.

Lately I have difficulties logging-in to my two different e-mail providers. I have had them for years without any problems. Both don't let me log-in anymore. They want me to deactivate my ad-blocker - but I do not have an ad blocker installed with Mozilla Firefox! There is no such sign on the upper right and in the themes there is none either. The data protection is on standard. Although I agree to cookies but this doesn't help at all. So: where is the problem and why all of a sudden? What can I do? thanks in advance for your help.

Firefox stuck on printed page, "x" doesnt close page. After print dialog opens, the email attempted to be printed shows up on the Firefox tab that I printed from.

If I close the dialog page the page still shows. Clicking the "X' on the top right doesn't close the page. All I could do is click the back button I then need to search the emails again. Hope this is clear enough.

firefox and MS bing have started frequently asking again and again if I want to make either one my default browser. Several time I chose firefox and yet I get asked within a week or so. Looks like microsoft is removing firefox from being my default browser and I get asked again! Also, this recent frequent back and forth is irritating.
