Firefox Community Forum

I see in one of the past recent updates, I notice that "- Original Profile" is in the windows and not just the title of the website I'm on. Any way to remove it? It looks off and not necessary to me.

Every time I go to use programs on my computer while on a Firefox session, when I return to Firefox, the menu that appears when I'd typically press the Alt key drops down. Every time. The only way I can get it to stop is by exiting out of the session entirely and reopening it. There is no option on my Firefox settings that can help me disable the action.

I have not installed or changed anything in my settings, it began happening suddenly, and has become an interruption in my workflow. Any ideas on what might have caused or what I can do to fix it?

I'm having an issue wherein clicking the on-screen back button in the toolbar does not immediately navigate to previous webpage that was viewed. From my recollection and in all my years of computing, I have always understood that the original purpose of a browser's back button was to return to the page, not to reverse any scroll actions. However, someone has changed this.

The problem is that the back button isn't navigating to the previous page, but rather undoes any scroll actions that were performed on the current page being viewed. Once all scrolling is undone, it's back at the the top of page again (default scroll position). Only by clicking the back button one more time will it actually go to the previous page. However, this is not the desired behavior. The desired behavior is that clicking the back button just once should be all that is required to get to the previous page, skipping any scroll actions that were performed on the current page.

I see other articles talking about what happens when you use the scroll wheel and/or mouse buttons. That is not what I am talking about here. I'm only talking about what happens when you click the graphical back button (which looks like a left arrow) on the toolbar. It's the built-in back button in Firefox.

Does anyone know how to restore the button's original functionality?

Hi,

This is the first time I have reset my PC after switching to FireFox.

As far as i was aware, I had an account that allowed syncing.

Anyhow, I've logged into what I had thought was my account, yet it is empty.

Is it possible to have multiple accounts from the same email address?

If i provide my email address, can someone check to see what the issue is?

I'm 99.999% sure I have the correct email address.

Whenever I try to purchase anything from the Mozilla merchandise store, the checkout does not load at all, no matter what device, OS, or browser I am using. This does not happen in any other store ran by Spreadshop, and I've asked some friends and they've had the same issues as well.

Any help as to how I could access the checkout, or any other way of buying these products would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Firefox Browser 145.0 and CCleaner Free version 7.1.1042.0. Either CCleaner wiped out the 4 rows of saved shortcuts, or, I have a unwanted Checked or unchecked Firefox setting. The home Firefox page is black, with no tiles showing, no way to add tiles as far as I can tell

Is their a way to reload the ones I had yesterday? Are they saved in configuration / about: Thanks for helping me. Dave Thompson

Whenever I try to switch applications, firefox forces itself on top. And if i try to switch applications without the use of the windows key (I use two monitors), I will be unable to switch to the application until I press that windows key and manually click it. Whenever I try to switch, the Menu Bar opens up. So, when I try to switch applications firefox doesn't let me. Other programs do except firefox. I have no idea if it's a result of an option or keybind. Please help

Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.

But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)

Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation

TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.

What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.

Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?

Thanks

Edit: Using Windows, no other problems with storage on the 1TB Samsung ssd

Hello all -

I ran into an error earlier in the week which forced me to reset the data of my firefox account. Today, I was trying to look at the Inspect (Q) option on a website, but when I clicked on it, the box was empty and did not have the CSS code there.

Does anyone else have this issue? And is there anything I can do to fix it?

If I go fullscreen in any mediaplayer (such as YouTube, Crunchyroll, Prime Video or Jellyfin) I get a bar at the top and a bar in the left. You can see either the wallpaper or another programm, its like shifted to the right and bottom. I know its a problem with tunred off Hardwareacceleration. If I turn it back on the problem never occurs. I tried with troubleshoot mode enabled but there I couldnt recreate it because the problem does not occur, even after I turn troubleshoot mode off. The problem only occurs again after a complete restart of the computer.

I know there are other posts with the same problem but there was never a solution.

This concerns the display of bookmarksto the the left of the main display. Fot the record, this is installed om Magea Linux, vers 9, from the OS repository, and is Firefox vers 140.4.0esr ( 64-bit). Up until recently the display was variable in width, and once the box for 'show bookarks' was ticked, the bookmarks display opened in any new ;Firefox' brought up. With the two new features, I have a pair of niggles. One, is that the new sidebar, being fixed width, cannot be reduced. Taking up more screen 'Real Estate', that I consider would be better utilised for the main panel. The other niggle, is that ticking 'Show bookmarks' is not permanent and has to be re-ticked, for any new Firefox' display. I have another machine running the same version of Mageia. I opened this today, and it, while still showing the same version of Firefox, displays the old version. Perhaps, since the Mageia support section have not yet.sent a prompt for update. My query, is. Is it possible for me to return to the old style display, or is there a setting that will do so. The new display, having several options, is possibly an advance. But, for me, bookmarks display is paramount.

Thanks, Rod Goslin

When I try to open a link using Mac Mail "open link behind mail," the new tab in Firefox opens in the foreground. ChatGPT tells me this is a Firefox related issue and is giving me a bunch of about:config alterations to try, but they don't work.

Is ChatGPT leading me astray, hallucinating?

Is there a Firefox fix? This is a new problem. Is it a bug? Thanks.
