I can't sign in to gmail as I used to for years. (It works ok when I use Private Browsing, but that's inconvenient.)

WHAT USED TO HAPPEN: when I was at the sign in page, my password manager (Dashlane) filled in the username and then a screen asking to use the passkey. I said yes, and got in to Google with no problem.

NOW: the password manager fills in my username (my name at gmail.com) and when I hit "NEXT" in the sign in field I get email or phone l.com When I click in the field that disappears and my username appears. When I hit NEXT it goes back to "email or phone l.com". Same when I hit return. Same when I enter my phone number. SO maybe it's Dashlane (my password manager)? But when I disable that and TYPE my username (or phone number) in the field, same stuff happens.

BUT when I use a private browser window, the gmail sign in works as before, and so that's what I've been using -- but it's not convenient having 2 windows open. Before it was just a tab in one window. What changed? Why? Can I change it back? Thanks!

Since the last update, not this recent one, there has been a huge empty space at the top of the home page. I had to close the search so my favorites wern't off the bottom of the screen. I'd really like to remove the Firefox logo, move my favorites to the top of the page and the search under that. Can you make it more customizable?

Hello, I can't log in to Facebook, only through Firefox, and that's the problem. Edge and Chrome work fine. I've already deleted cookies and temporary files, and still nothing. This problem has been occurring for a while.

Since dawn of times I'm using Firefox with a search box in the center of my Home page for new tabs and windows. It is the most important tool in my life as a web content manager. A few years ago my searches suddenly started to jump to the URL bar as soon as I started typing. An URL bar is - as the says - for URL's and it sits way at the top of my 27" and 32" screens, where my focus is not.

Luckily, this forum saved me with the about:config setting browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar > false to save my life.

A few months ago this was broken by 148.something. After about a month in hell that was repaired with a dot release. And now (151.0.3, Windows 11) it's broken again:

In normal mode it still works as expected, but the search box is not in the center anymore, it has been moved up to about 300 px from the top. Fixed, independent from window size !?! If you make the window small it moves out sight eventually.

In Private Windows it is still in the center vertically, but browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar > false does not seem to work there. As soon as I start typing it jumps to the address bar.

I am trying to find and activate the free Firefox VPN offered. I had the VPN icon on my tool bar then it disappeared a couple of weeks ago....the icon is not on my toolbar.....I have searched the tools...themes...customize toolbar to no avail...I can not find it anywhere. Can you help?...I am on a PC laptop using Windows 11.. Can you help?

Hello everyone,

We recently received feedback from a few users who reported issues when submitting forms through Firefox, while the same forms appear to work normally in Chrome and Edge.

The website belongs to Avenue Billing Services, and the issue seems inconsistent. Some users can submit forms without any problems, while others experience submission failures or no response after clicking the submit button.

So far, we have:

• Tested the form in Chrome and Edge successfully

• Verified basic form validation settings

• Checked for server-side errors

• Cleared browser cache and cookies

Before diving deeper into debugging, I wanted to ask the community:

• What are the most common causes of form submission issues that appear only in Firefox?

• Are there any Firefox-specific settings, privacy features, or extensions that could interfere with form functionality?

• What tools or methods do you recommend for troubleshooting browser-specific issues?

Any suggestions or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Clicking allow acts like a snooze button 4 minutes later I got same warning again. Tried to clear google's cache (also all data). After (I guess) 4, 5 update issue still remains. I'm pretty sure there are lots of same question about this but I've checked community and reddit but no real answer so?

Firefox 151.0.3 macOs 15.7.7

Hello all

 Firstly I have been using Firefox for about 2 decades and it has always worked perfectly - you can take a bow.
Now for my problem
I have been using Firefox for internet banking for many years without any problems - the usual login, password ans secret questions. Just after Xmas my bank updated it's website and suddenly nothing works. I was told that it now only works on Chrome and NOTHING else - not Firefox, Edge or anything else. I am able to log-in but can't see my account balances or perform any other functions - it just jams up to the point that I even have trouble closing Firefox.
I use Firefox exclusively because I don't trust Chrome or Google - they are just a massive data collection/sharing operation. I have Chrome Mask installed but it just doesn't make any difference.

 Is there anything that I can do or add-on to over-ride this problem?

I am running Mint Linux 22.2 with Firefox 151.0.1

I copy (Ctrl+C) some text from Chrome , and want to paste in Firefox (Ctrl+V) whey need to move to the icon and click the icon 1 more time , then Firefox can let me past the text ? I don't want this function , downgrade the performance seriously.

I think can change it back in settings , no need to move to the icon and click .

I asked ChatGPT why images were missing and this is what it said. I'm not sure whether this is a general issue with reader view on all browsers, or just Firefox. I'm using the latest version on Windows 10.

This was my question to Chatgpt:

I have a problem with a Hubpages article when I enter reader view—not all the images are shown. I'm migrating articles to my Kilcullen science blog, but now I'm worried that if I'm transcribing from reader view, I may be missing images. Hubpages lazy loads, however I'm scrolling all the way through articles before saving to make sure all images load, but in one case when there were three consecutive images, only the last image appeared in reader view.

This was its reply: That is a real risk. Reader View is designed to extract the main content of a page, not to preserve it exactly. If HubPages is using lazy loading, galleries, image containers, or JavaScript-based image insertion, Reader View may simply omit some images even if they have loaded in the normal page.

The fact that three consecutive images became only one image in Reader View is a warning sign that Firefox's Reader View parser decided the first two weren't part of the article content or failed to recognise them.

A few things you can do:

Don't rely solely on Reader View Compare the Reader View version against the normal page. Pay particular attention to image-heavy articles. Use "Save Page As" instead After scrolling to the bottom and allowing everything to load, save the page as "Web Page, Complete". This saves the HTML and associated images locally. You can then inspect the saved page if you're unsure whether an image was missed. Check the page source Search the HTML for

good afternoon! if i close browser, then reopen it i see blank tab. But in my settings checkbox turn on (screenshot 3). How resolve this problem?

Windows 11 Pro Firefox 151.0.2 (64-разрядный)

Contributor note: The screenshot shows the "Open previous windows and tabs" setting enabled.

Note what I wrote above. I simply want to optimize my use of this option and can't if it doesn't allow me access to sites that I desire to access rather than ones that simply pop into these squares as existing, irrelevant, I suppose Firefox placed, options are deleted. Most of which I've seen and received are irrelevant to me.

I am running Windows 11 Pro and Firefox 147. Beginning the second week of Feb, Chase bank will not allow me to log into their system. They say I have to have Windows 10 or higher and Firefox 128. I am running 147. What else can I do?
