When you go to the "Help and Support" section, a link for transferring data to another device appears. It clashes with the overall design and is annoying. Please remove it.

Hello, We are in Morocco, where Time zone has become GMT+00 or UTC after the 20th Sept 2026, the IANA has already published this change within 2026c update, but Firefox browser desktop still using GMT+1 for Africa/Casablanca time zone.

I've installed the latest Firefox desktop update until now : 156.0.1 (64-bit)

test : console.log("Detected IANA zone:", Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone); console.log("Date.toString():", new Date().toString()); console.log("getTimezoneOffset() (minutes):", new Date().getTimezoneOffset());

result: Detected IANA zone: Africa/Casablanca debugger eval code:1:9 Date.toString(): Sun Sep 27 2026 13:41:40 GMT+0100 (GMT+01:00) debugger eval code:2:9 getTimezoneOffset() (minutes): -60

I upgraded to 156 and the new tab informs me of a new ad-blocker feature. It tells me to open Settings - Browing - Ad Blocker. I did that and that option is not appearing!

Firefox will not show pop-ups anymore. How do I get firefox to show pop-ups? Too many legitimate sites use pop-ups for things like private medical informations, banking, etc. and this change was made without warning anyone. Many of the pop ups will NOT open in a new window. How do I disable this unwanted feature that is blocking pop-ups? I am locked out of certain GOVERNMENT sites as well!

I have "Open previous windows and tabs" and "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" boxes checked in my settings.

Firefox is not opening automatically and my previous tabs are not showing up.

Thanks

I have a cmdfile to open specific news websites in a private window. The syntax of the cmdfile line is

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window %*

with a "timeout /t 2 /nobreak" call for a 2 secs pause between each to give things time to get going (firefox seems to trip up if I rush it with URLs using start command .. probably understandable).

This works, but all "windows" open in a new tab in the existing or initial private window instance. I want them to each open in their own instance of a private window. It seems to be behaving like the option -new-tab rather than a genuine new private window for each URL.

What option/s do I need to use to get a true new private window with just the specified URL open in a single tab for each URL I have coded?

Hello!

It's great there is finally a way to change keyboard shortcuts. However, I cannot find a way to change the keyboard shortcuts for previous and next tabs. Ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab are not very comfortable positions. I would much rather have it something like ctrl+alt+left or right.

Is this something I will be able to do soon? or maybe the setting is there and I am just being blind?

Thanks

FF is sometimes slow or downright reluctant to start up, and when I look at it, it says it's having trouble restoring my previous tabs / sessions. But I never want to restore previous sessions, I want to start with a clean sheet. See my screenshot - this happens even with the box unticked.

What is going on? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Firefox doesn't open correctly with Windows Virtual Desktops. I use Windows Virtual Desktops a lot. Every app I use, except Firefox, opens on the desktop that has the focus when I open them up. With Firefox, if the current desktop isn't the one that Firefox was on the last time I used it and closed it, it opens up an instance with a single tab on the current desktop and another instance on the other desktop it was on when closed last with the tabs open from the prior session there. This is very awkward. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Virtual Desktops on a Windows machine and create at least one additional one. 2. Switch to a second virtual desktop, open Firefox or move Firefox to that desktop. 3. Set Firefox to open tabs from the last session and open a few tabs to random sites. 4. Close Firefox. 5. Switch to the first virtual desktop. Open Firefox. Observe an instance on that desktop with one tab and another instance on the other desktop with the tabs from the prior session. Expected Result: Firefox should open on the virtual desktop that has the current focus like all other applications do. It is very awkward to close the unneeded instance on the current desktop, then open virtual desktop manager and move the originally desired instance to the originally desired desktop.

I have organized my Win 11 start menu into logical groupings to avoid a long irrational lists of programs requiring me to sort-through each time I want to open another app. I use Firefox frequently enough that it has a 'permanent' place on my taskbar so it is easy to open it and proceed expeditiously.

However, Mozilla has recently decided it will overrule my process by repeatedly adding 'Firefox' as another choice on my start menu -- I delete it each time, only to find they have added it again each time I reboot. I find this to be quite obnoxious and arrogant.

Perhaps I need to consider moving to another browser and uninstall Firefox once an for all....

the go back to previous page shortcut is annoying and it kept messing with my work and I want to disable it I use touchpad and accidentally goes back to previous page all the time and sometimes I have to redo my unsaved work because of this. Please disable this arrow in a blue circle thing
