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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Is there a new MacOs bug about Firefox refusing to minimize/relinquish control?

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.

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

My mothers new phone won't load external links and mine does?

I have way more strict security settings and same extensions. She has 2 and I have 13 extensions but they overlap and are not the issue. When someone sends her a link her Firefox does not convert the link like mine does, she gets a link in format https://share.google/ + string of letters, when she opens it, it's a blank page. When I open the same link it converts it from that to a regular link (https://). I have installed Firefox to at least 3 other people and none have this issue. I don't have this issue on desktop either.

If it makes a difference: Out all the people that have this browser on their phone she's the only one that has a new phone with Android 16 (mine is Android 14). They are both up to date on both software and Firefox updates.

Device: Xiaomi K80 Pro Firefox Version: 150 and 150.0.1 (both affected)

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox on Xiaomi K80 Pro 2. Enter Private Browsing mode 3. Observe the top toolbar/tab bar

Actual Result: The top tab bar shifts downward (drops) when entering Private Browsing. The issue persists even after returning to normal browsing mode.

Expected Result: The toolbar should remain in its normal position without any visual displacement.

Workaround: Restarting Firefox temporarily restores the toolbar to its correct position.

Additional Notes: Issue is consistently reproducible across both versions 150 and 150.0.1.
