Since the latest update, when I click on a link to an image containing a JPG (JPEG) file, now Firefox opens a new tab but it's empty, and it automatically downloads the JPG file, saving it in Downloads. To see the image, I have to go to Downloads and choose to open the file. I hate this. How does software get dumber like this? Someone messed up. It's not just some sites, it's all the time, so Firefox changed.

Is there a quick fix for this in Settings? I've been looking to no avail.

Unfortunately the paste is broke once again, but differently! When I copy text from another website (e.g. Wikipedia articles or YouTube video titles) and try to paste the values only (ctrl + shift + v), nothing happens except for a little black box appears that says "paste." Doing a normal paste works and pasting (whether values or otherwise) within the google sheet works as well, only between sheets and another website.

When I use Firefox to access "https://www.onlinebanking.natwest.com/login" the site flashes "Are you still there?" message at 3 second intervals and I cannot enter my details to login. This does not happen if I use Microsoft edge to login. Is this a fault with Firefox or my PC?

Zniknęły mi zakładki (nie ma ich ani na pasku, ani jak wejdę w zakładki- w ustawieniach i w zarządzaniu zakładkami). Hasła te co były zapisane mam dostępne na moim koncie.

This is my website I work on daily - I can normally open it in this browser BUT because Im on my laptop it is flagged as a security risk - and its not - https://passive-income-system.co.uk/

Hi,

2 days ago, on 02.05,2026, I was logged out of all my accounts on every website in Mozilla. My history was erased, passwords not saved, but I'm still logged in. That only happened on Firefox, not the rest of my computer.

I am afraid it was a virus or something - can you tell me why it happened?

Today (4/27/2026) I am suddenly unable to log in to My Account on various websites (eMail, grocery store...) The business page opens but when I try to go to the account login page, I either get a blank page or the page spins and spins and never goes to the login page. I am able to get to the logins on Safari. I've cleared cache and cookies, and closed out of Firefox and reopened.

I Believe that the last update to firefox changed a lot of things in my PC. Passwords are not working. I am having to change them every other day because it says the one I used is in correct. Amazon has lost my info about orders. My contact number says it is in use with another account. email is not working like it has. My calendar has lost all my appointments that were on it. this is just a few that I have noticed.

Been using Firefox for over a decade. But lately is has become so slow now. Often freezes up if more than two tabs are open or a website is in any way very complex. What settings and issues should I check? What has changed? I can run the same sites on Brave and Edge browsers with no issues or not nearly as slow and bogged down.

Hello,

Is there an option to view the text for the pinned tab? Or add a custom text for them? This is because i would have multiple pinned tabs with the same icon.

Using FF 140.10.1 esr on a windows pc I noticed (probably long after the fact and numerous updates) that there's no longer https:// in the address bar. Having some recent issues with security made me look for this.

When I switched to Edge, the https:// was in the adddresses I was using. There is a lock symbol, but the locks seem to change in their appearance from one browser or website to the next.

Was this verification sign removed and, if so, why?  

Thank you.
