my firefox keeps getting completely deleted from my system after repeatedly reinstalling and having it get delited from my windows 11 system i installed with administrator permission and the installation lasted for two days now this morning after working for about an hour it crashed twice on the third attempt to open it i found that it had been deleted what do reckon i do

I recently got into Bazzite and I'm currently working on understanding and migrating to this OS, one of the things that got my attention is the PiP mode, which by default doesn't stay on top of other windows, and that made me think about the whole purpose of this functionality to begin with, anyway this led me to think about my best idea ever which is to add "some option" in which the user can choose what is his preferred PiP window behavior and set it as default, so he don't go through all the process again and again.

I would be interested in modifying the behavior of Firefox's urlbar / omnibox such that domain names are displayed in “reverse notation”, e.g. org.mozilla.support instead of support.mozilla.org.

From a cursory look at Firefox's setting, I couldn't find any browser.urlbar.* setting that relates to reverse domain name notation.

I also spent some time looking at add-on development documentation. Albeit being unfamiliar with the technology, it seems to me that the omnibox permission in the manifest.json file will only grant the add-on APIs to extend the functionalities of the bar, rather than allow the add-on to modify how the bar's contents are displayed.

I would be interested to know if there might be a way to achieve reverse domain name notation that I might have missed, or whether this is impossible to do.

If this is the wrong place to ask, I'd be glad if you could suggest what forum/mailing list may be appropriate for this kind of questions.

when I go to icloud.com to view and download photos and all my icloud stuff on my phone, I can no longer sign in using firefox. I turned off the shield security but no help. There used to be a pop-up that let you enter the code apple emailed you so you could access your icloud stuff on the web. Now there is no place to enter the code they send you. I enabled pop-ups too, but that didn't work. Help! I need my photos! And I use that site pretty much constantly-

I have specific tabs that open when I start Firefox (email, calendar, etc.). Up until recently, the logins for these pages were retained, so when I started Firefox, I was already logged in. Recently, something has changed, and the info is not retained (cookies?), and all pages are at the login screen instead of being automatically logged in.

How do I get Firefox to retain the login info again?

I've noticed recently that I am unable to log into my bank account when I use Firefox and have to use the Microsoft Edge browser instead. I've used Firefox as my primary browser for years and began experiencing the problem in the last month or so. Any suggestions on how to remedy the problem?

Hello everyone,

I’ve been using Firefox for 5 years now and I absolutely love it. I recently bought a new laptop, but I’ve run into an issue. On my old laptop, I was able to use multiple Firefox profiles at the same time—similar to how Chrome handles profiles.

On the old setup, when I clicked the three-line (menu) button, I could see my second profile there and switch between profiles with just one click. After installing Firefox on my new laptop, I can’t find that option anymore.

I know some of you might suggest using about:profiles to switch profiles. Yes, I’m aware of that method, but I find it inconvenient because I’d have to type about:profiles every time, which is a bit of a time waste for me. I really want the same quick-switch option I had before.

How can I get that functionality back? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’m already using the latest version (142.0.1, 64-bit).

Thanks

Using Firevox 142.0.1 on a MacBook Air. I always have "Always ask you where to save files" checked in Preferences, but lately it sometimes fails to ask me. For example, if I try to download a file from Google Drive. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do about it?

Hi,

I’m using the latest version of Firefox, and I’ve noticed that every time I restart the browser, all my logged-in sessions (like Gmail, Reddit, etc.) are gone and I have to log in again.

I already checked:

“Delete cookies and site data on close” is turned off

History settings are set to “Remember history”

Tried clearing the cache and re-logging inhttps://wendysmenuprices.com/ Still facing the same problem. Is there some other setting I might be missing, or could this be a profile issue?

Thanks in advance!

Why is access to this site being blocked all of a sudden? I have been subscribing to this online newspaper for decades, and now within the last month I cannot load the page because of a security problem. Why is this happening? There is nothing wrong with the site.

Frequently if I go to another tab and do something there the tab for my yahoo mail disappears and I have to go the history to get it back. Why? and is there a way to stop this?

Using desktop 141.0, noticed issue of the hand pointer either not appearing, or appearing for less than a second and disappearing when hovering over buttons/urls/etc elements. Sometimes it stops being buggy for a minute or so and then goes back. I can't figure out the exact cause for this, but maybe going outside of the window of the browser ? Consistent in the safe mode, on different websites. See the gif for the visual

Hi,

after a while of inactivity (Maybe 2-5 Minutes or so?) when using Firefox I am not able to load any webpages anymore. It does not matter if I reload a page or try to open a new one. The loading wheel just keeps spinning infinitely. I then have to close all Firefox windows and reopen Firefox. It then shows a popup where it says something about Firefox still running and asks if I want to close it. I then close it and now I am able to reopen Firefox and pages load fine again.

Is there any solution to this issue? I tried to google the issue but could not find much help.

Hello,

This started happening recently, in the last 30 days. Gray screen is shown when I clink on any photo in "Your memories from this day" email from photos@onedrive.com. If I go to OneDrive, then select today's date the issue is the same.

I've tried the same actions in Chrome and the photos are shown without issues.

Can someone help with this?

Regards, Petar

When viewing Kannada text in Firefox 142.0.1 (64-bit) on macOS [your version], conjunct letters (ottaksharas/ligatures) do not display correctly. Instead of showing combined forms like ಶ್ರೀ (shri), ತ್ವ (tva), ತ್ರ (tra), the characters appear split into individual glyphs.

This issue is browser-specific:

In Safari and Chrome, the same text renders properly with correct Kannada shaping.

In Firefox, the ligatures fail to render, making Kannada text appear broken and unreadable.

Apple Support confirmed that the system rendering is fine and advised reporting this to Firefox.

Example text (should be tested): ಚೊಕ್ಕಾಡಿ ಶ್ರೀರಾಮ ದೇವಾಲಯದ ವಾರ್ಷಿಕೋತ್ಸವ
