I am unable to enter or browse for a location to save downloads in the settings for this browser. The box to type in a destination does not allow me to type any text and the button labeled "Browse" does not pop up any additional window after I click it for me to choose a destination folder for downloads. I need to be able to alter these settings or will have to resort to using a different browser all together. I have been able to modify these same settings within Safari. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I have asked, before, and insofar I am aware, was ignored. I click a link on a page. The new page and tab used to appear next the to 'parent' page, ie the page where the link was. For a while now, this is NOT happening. The new page appears SOMEWHERE off to my right. I now have to shuffle between 2 related tabs. If the second page has a link I need to follow, that page appears SOMEWHERE else off to the right also. Now I have 3, related pages, remote from each other. I could drag them together, but why do I have to? In any case, when done with 3 I close it, when done with 2 I close it. Next item on 1 and start the whole debacle all over again. What I'm saying is why can related pages not appear next to each other? Logical for me and way less frustrating. In the screen capture, see the yellowish heart-shaped tabs. Why are there 3 other unrelated tabs in between?

While taking screenshot of entire page or section within the page, taken screenshot resolution is of very low quality. As a result when shared the screenshot with someone using copy paste function or download and share option, in both methods screenshot image quality is very low making it very difficult to read data/text from the same. Text from the screenshot is barely in readable format. Even zooming the image distorts image totally. I want a way to increase screenshot resolution or improve its image quality so we can read easily without zoom or zooming the image file.

I am having trouble with signing in and syncing after making other profiles. I was under the impression that the profiles would be under one email and tried signing into two other accounts which worked but then I saw that my original profile was disconnected. When trying to re-sign in I kept getting a pop-up saying “account limit reached for this profile,” but the profile isn’t signed into anything. I signed out of the two extra profiles and deleted them. I signed out of my other devices that had the same email attached. I also went into my profile folder through “about:profiles” and deleted the 'signedInUser.json' file, cleared the cache, restarted Firefox, and even tried refreshing Firefox through the troubleshooting page. I also checked my Firefox account online and removed any connected devices before signing back in again. the only way i can sign in with the email is to create a new profile but that leaves my og- with all my bookmarks and extensions- without a way to sync.

I need to restore my profile on this computer. my other one failed...I need my bookmarks and passwords to websites restored. I have a account recovery key. I can try to log in, but I dont know if I have my password correct

I installed the Multi-Account Container Extension and it worked fine until I added the fifth container. Now the window does not shot the Manage Container button at the bottom, and I can not add anymore containers. I've removed the extension, and restarted Firefox, re-installed the extension, and still the issue remains.

I do not know where to go from here. And if this feature is so difficult to use, or has bugs that I can get corrected so I can use the feature. I will remove it and not even waste my time. I've been using Firefox for over 20 years, but I am not going to continue if the extensions or other features fail to live up to the standards I think Firefox should hold.

I tried taking a screenshot of coping the extension window but could not figure out how to do that. So suffice with the fact that the Manage Account or container button that was at the bottom of the window no longer is there.

I noticed yesterday, firefox is saving cookies from Private Browsing Windows after those windows have been closed.

See attached screen shots.

I did not change any settings. The only 'new' thing is I added AdGuard about 2 weeks ago.

Thanks

Over about the last week I have had three Windows updates. After the second of these updates I discovered that moving from one website to another or moving from one page on a website to another page would result in nothing more than a continuing horizontal moving blue ball going back and forth in the address area. After some testing this appears to continue without any further Firefox response or internet activity. After checking online there was a suggestion about clearing the cache so I tried that several time clearing everything in the Privacy area of TOOLS. This had zero effect, at least after the windows updates. (NOTE: The most recent third update did not clear the problem.)

I thought you might want to check this for yourselves.

When I type "moo" in the address bar, the first suggestion (which is auto-completed and loads when I press Enter) is the website's base URL "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/" instead of the webpage that I have bookmarked "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/my/courses.php".

This is really annoying because it ends up costing me too many extra clicks to get to the webpage I actually need, especially since this is a website that I have to use often.

How can I prioritize the bookmarked option over the base URL?

I have already tried switching search and suggestion options in the settings, removing the homepage with the base URL from the history, and tweaking the frecency settings in about:config, but nothing worked.

When I updated to MacOS Tahoe 26.0, Firefox prompted me to autofill security codes received by iMessage. That happened once or twice and then stopped working. I just tried it in Safari, and it does work. So, something is wrong in the handshake between Firefox for Mac 144.0.2 and MacOS iMessage. Here is how to replicate it.

Login to a website that requires two-factor authentication. Have a security code texted to your iPhone. When that text appears in iMessages on a Mac linked to the iPhone, there should be a small popup asking if you want to insert the security code into the web page. In Safari, there is. In Firefox, there isn't. This feature appears to be broken in Firefox.

Den skriver: Åh nej, fanebladet er gået ned. It is the beginning page, where you come to in order to search on the browser, that it will not show. I have tried many times, but it is still striking.

This has now happened three times. I implemented the new profiles feature a few days ago, and have three profiles. The issue is that my main profile, every time I reboot my computer/open firefox forgets all my logins. I use a password manager and don't store them in firefox ; this has never been an issue before. It is happening on the same profile each time. My bookmarks/extensions stay the same. This is happening on sites even when I have clicked 'keep me logged in'. There is no site/login that is unaffected - it seems to reset my login status I want to reiterate this is all happening on the same profile - this is not an issue of logins not carrying between different profiles The only other setting I changed is auto-storing passwords on firefox [It had saved my master password accidentally, so.] But there were very few passwords actually stored there, and those sites worked before. I am on Win 11 and have had no issues previously

On macOS the previous behaviour in Firefox was that the text content from the drag&drop was sent to the application I dropped to (and still works this way when doing so to the open application). But now Firefox downloads the image preview that I use to enable the drag&drop with into a temp folder, giving it a serial name. Is there any setting to revert back to the old behaviour? And if, not can you implement one please?

In Firefox, When H264 frames are decoded and rendered within a single tab, the output reaches up to 180 fps, performing well and meeting expectations. When decoding and rendering occur on two separate tabs on parallel, performance significantly drops, impacting both processes. However, it performs smoothly when running on a single tab.

In comparison to the Brave browser, H264 decoding and rendering are noticeably slower in Firefox. Firefox manages only around 180 fps, while Brave and other Chromium-based browsers can achieve approximately 1000 fps on a single tab and around 800 fps when multiple tabs are open.

Tell me how to reset a new password, I simply forgot my old one. I have been using Mozilla Foxfire for many, many years and now it's a problem because a password prompt keeps on reusing my password that is incorrect.
