Problems:

  1. The New Tab page doesn't show background images - doesn't go into Light Mode
  2. When Light Mode is enabled, certain UI related to Firefox-related pages break

Did I accidentally touch some CSS or about:config elements I wasn't supposed to? I honestly don't know lol


Additional Notes:

  • Applies to custom and default backgrounds (the author's info shows up)
  • "Reset to default" didn't help
  • I removed all extensions
  • Themes work fine - Issue happens with or without them enabled
  • Everything else on New Tab works fine
  • Provided screenshots showcasing it all (including Light Mode oddities)

Trying to download updates from Intel.com and as soon as I click the download button, Firefox just locks up and won't allow me to do anything. I have to basically shut down firfox through task manager to get the browser to work again. I have 139.04 which is the latest update for Firefox

A message to Mozilla if this is a bug how about fixing the problems that some people are having instead of consintration on implementing AI into Firefox as I want a browser that doesn't and isn't link to AI as many other people do as well as some if not most of us are sick to ther back teeth with everything having AI installed with in the programs.

I have a WINDOWS computer and I use Windows 11.

My Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar has several FOLDERS.

Each Folder has "drop-down" components.

Example: FINANCIAL Folder includes: Pension

                                                                Social Security
                                                                Military Retirement pay
                                                                15 or so "others"
                 BANKS Folder includes:  Bank #1 ( name witheld)
                                                           Bank #2 ( "         "         )
                                                           couple more

                 MEDICAL Folder includes :   Medicare
                                                                My Chart
                                                                couple more

Everything looked great. Worked great too.

Then, next time Computer turned on, the FINANCIAL Folder had "Pension"

                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )

Several Folders now 2-4 more times showing on the Bookmarks Toolbar Additionally, MANY Folders are now "Missing" !!!

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was CORRECT !

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was ALL WRONG as described above.

What is going on ??

Is there a way to FIX this? Do I need to go to GOOGLE CHROME / MICROSOFT EDGE ??

Similarly I have tried to LOG-ON to my Marriott Hotel website and things did not work correctly. I called Marriott Reservations and described the problem. Marriott asked IF I was using Firefox? I replied "YES". They said to use Google Chrome instead.

I used CHROME and everything worked GREAT !!!

Is this the answer? Firefox is not being properly supported? I should switch Browsers ??

I have used Firefox for MANY years. These problems are VERY recent.

I have always thought that "hackers" targeted Microsoft so Firefox had a "lower profile" and was therefore "SAFER".

I am losing confidence in Firefox.

Are these problems that other Firefox users are having also?

I liked Firefox's recent REVIEWS of "Ratings" -- but that was terminated recently.

Something "smells BAD" about Firefox.

What gives?

If your recommendation is to "abandon Firefox", which Browser do you recommend?

You help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Lloyd H.

Hello!

I'm in the process of migrating from Evolution to Thunderbird, but I seem to have hit a snag. In Evolution, there is an "Archive" folder, which any archived messages go into (attachment 1). This same folder also appears in K9 Mail (my mobile email client), and similarly is treated as special. In that first attachment, you can also see the "Archives" folder created by Thunderbird, which Evolution does not give any special treatment to.

However, in Thunderbird, the "Archive" folder is completely absent, both in the folder listing on the main page and in the "Copies & Folders" settings where an Archive folder would normally be selected (figure 2). Notice that the "Archives" folder is still present, and is now given special treatment, but the "Archive" folder is absent. Checking the contents of the "Archives" folder confirms that it doesn't contain the emails which K9 Mail and Evolution have been archiving.

Is there a way to access those archived emails from Thunderbird?

As of this morning (7-5-25), the app Firefox and only the Firefox app turns my entire phone screen grayscale when it is open in the foreground. The color transition takes about a second, and if I tab to another app or the home screen it takes about a second to transition back to full color. I cannot find any active grey scale settings in either my phone or the app. I have downloaded no extensions to my knowledge.

I have been having a problem the last 2 weeks. When ob certain pages my browser will suddenly jump to the top, or near the top, of the page. I have mostly noticed it on Walmart when i try to click on the add button or if i remove an item from my cart. It happens on a few other places like Barns and Nobles . Anyone else having this problem? Cant be sure but i first noticed it after one of the last updates. I have tried running my browser in safe mode and disabled all extensions and add-ons but still does the same thing. click and and page jumps to top. click on an item to look at it and the page goes all the way to the bottom.
