After using Firefox 138.0.4 64-bit (most recent version) for a few hours I get this kind of glitch on my taskbar preview in Windows 11. Please see the image. It especially happens when I unsleep the computer and leave Firefox running I think. I have already tried a refresh and reinstall. Now I'm trying to run firefox with no extensions/addons in safe mode. If that doesn't work I'm going to start thinking something is wrong with Windows 11. Was there something in about:config I shouldn't have touched involving multiple processes? (I think that resets with a reinstall/refresh anyway) Anyone know how to make this go back to normal? I can reboot to fix it or restart explorer.exe in task manager but it comes back like this in a few hours of useage.

I'm sure I don't have anything else open. If I hover mouse over the blank "windows" I don't get any kind of tooltip and nothing changes but an X does appear. I can click it and nothing happens. Right and left clicking these windows does nothing. When I close Firefox they still remain. I closed Firefox and Firefox isn't running in the task manager anywhere, yet the blank windows remain.

Heya. As the title says, the sync between firefox on my phone (android) and on my pc only works one way.

I can only access PC tabs/history from my phone but not vise versa. It was working at some point but I don't remember exactly when it stopped.

Just clicking "syncronise" in the options on PC results in an endless loading icon for the sync.

I tried updating Firefox on both my PC and phone but they are both up to date.

I tried to re-sync my phone, got prompted to a QR code, but "sync and save data" is not actually an option on firefox for android unless it's nested somewhere odd.

This is not the end of the world I guess as my bookmarks still seem to be synced at least, but I'd like to know what's going on here and how to re-sync without being prompted to an unusable QR code.

Thank you.

When trying to connect to sites from Google search or directly eg for Booktopia. I get a message saying

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at www.googleadservices.com.

Updated recently from (I believe) 138.04 to 139.0.1, and immediately noticed that the size of font (and icons) had changed in the folders I have in the bookmark toolbar, that is they are much smaller and thus also less space between. Why this, and is it possible to change the size, without changing something else?

It's possible that many don't have folders in the toolbar and thus don't notice, but I have 2-3 apart from bookmarks.

I remember a change many versions ago that increased the space between entries in the bookmark menu, and also in the bookmark toolbar folders. That was too much and I found a setting [in config] that could be changed to decrease the space back then. (I haven't looked for that solution now, probably have some doc somewhere, and won't bother searching since this is different. Same with this case; I did some quick initial search but found next to nothing and older. BTW, this is one of the downsides of changes like these and similar; the day you have too move to another OS version, i.e. reinstall everything you also have to keep documentation of all these little changes, apart from all the other things you'll have to export or save.)

altho i have ticked " open all tabs on startup " in settings, my tabs, open sites , do not now appear how to recover this function on startup `? use win 10 thanks ed.

When typing Korean letters (in macOS, it happens regardless of whether it's a two-set or three-set keyboard, in Windows, it only happens with a three-set keyboard) and then typing a punctuation mark or moving the cursor in the middle of a line, presssing the space bar cause a space be added behind the cursor.

For example, if I type `가나.` and type spacebar and then `다`, The result is supposed to `가나.(space)다`, but actually `가나.다(space)`. As a more clear example, if I type `가나` and then move the cursor between `가` and `나`, and type space and `다`, the result will be `가다 나`, not `가 다나`.

I found this on several websites, both of which filled the text with event handling inside a div element. However, some sites had the symptom a year ago, while others started showing the symptom in the latest version of Firefox. (Maybe 139.0 and later)

i set up a 2FA, but now i logged in... AND IT IS NOT ASKING FOR IT ! ...at the settings it is TURNED OFF ...if i want to turn on, i have to REscan the QR.. but why i already have it on my phone!? So is there a logfile where i can check WHO TURNED OF MY 2FA! So i guess i have to assume i got hacked?

I have been having this problem and it seems to be getting progressively worse, for a least a couple weeks now. When I first had it happen, I updated Firefox from 135 I believe to the current version, 139.01. I also checked to make sure Windows Update is completed/up to date. I've tried removing and reinstalling Firefox. I've restarted Firefox - a few times. I've restarted my computer - a few times. When I restart Firefox or my computer it will work for a very short time, but goes back to crashing. I have removed extensions. Restarted PC. But never got to try to see which extension it could be because tabs will start crashing again before I get a chance to. Also, I had a full Firefox crash tonight. Tabs worked a bit after that, but went back to crashing again. This is getting REALLY annoying! FIX IT PLEASE.

I can't copy and paste anything onto messages in Hotmail that I wish to reply to. Google allows it, but Firefox doesn't. I've checked out all the settings, but can't find anything.

When i browse using Firefox it has started to recommend I install extensions and use other Firefox features. This is entirely unwelcome and unwanted. It feels suspicious to be suggested third party software, and it feels invasive to get contextual feature suggestions. Please stop these spam advertisements.
