Firefox Community Forum

The Reply/Forward bar at the bottom of each email is something I would like to remove from my laptop screen. It consumes over 20% of my screen area. As I have vision issues, this is a waste of viewable space that would be better used showing the contents of each email.

Overall, Firefox displays too many fixed items like toolbars, etc. that reduce the usable working area meaning that I scroll (both side-to-side and up-to-down) so much to see the full contents of an email that I sometimes lose the context.

Is there a setting that will remove this bar & others from my screen? I know the menu selections for these functions and definitely do NOT need a full-size bar that I never use and wastes scarce screen space.

Thanks Tom Friedrich

Firefox just auto installed the latest version 145.0. After about 15-20 minutes of usage, Firefox stops responding and hangs. I ran the Task Manager (Windows 11) and found Firefox was consuming 96% of the available memory. I have to kill the task to regain control. I'm left with switching to a new browser and will probably never go back.

Howdy! 2nd time in 2 weeks sign in has not worked on certain websites like E*Trade. Must switch to data mining options like Chrome. What is up? My Mozilla and Firefox do not allow User Name & Password to work even with destination URL's support team's help.

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.

Hello Firefox Support (long-ass time user) and I wanna give a big shout out to EVERYBODY who's contributed to this kick-ass browser. You are all unsung hero's and preservers of privacy and human rights. THANK YOU! Just wondering if I'm wrong but: 1. After I save a group of Tabs into a Folder then open them all later the stars are not filled in like when I save individual Tabs 2. Is it possible to Remove a Bookmark in the group of Tabs with no filled in stars? 3. If it is not possible do you have any alternative suggestions to grant the ability to save a bunch of tabs, opening the whole group later and deleting which ones I don't want to keep while perusing through them?

Best regards everyone and thanks again. Love you ALL!

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

Yesterday I thought I had downloaded two CDs from Amazon Music. I received the invoices for them but could not find the downloads on my Windows 11 Desktop.

I just spoke with Amazon who said there has recently been an issue with Firefox and that I should use Chrome to receive downloads. I asked for a refund instead as I value the privacy that Firefox gives me.

I am using the latest version of Firefox and am curious to know:

1) What the issue is? 2 Have others experienced this? 3) Is it likely to be resolved? 4) Why Amazon doesn't test its software for Firefox compatibility before making changes?

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.

I'm using a Windows 11 laptop with a 14" laptop with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. I'm looking for suggestions and tips about the best layout to maximise the display of content in Firefox with the minimum amount of scrolling.

Thank you.

I would like to know how I can choose the aster PC from which firefox snchronizes on other PCs and what to do, that it does not change direction when i am in vacation with the non-master PC

Hi -- I'm getting quite a few page crashes that seem mostly tied to YouTube, although not exclusively. I only recently swapped over to Firefox from Chrome because I was having similar crashing issues with that browser as well. This is after a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro and a number of different benchmark tests (no known issues with CPU, GPU, or RAM).

Since there are so many reports that all seem different, could someone help troubleshoot? I really can't tell if it's a browser problem, maybe something with my MOBO or PSU or other hardware.

I have the problem that if a stream is playing (Youtube or other video sites) and iam on another tab that the stream stopps/hangs for a second...

It seems to hang also if iam scrolling on another site while the video is playin in a not active tab.

If iam on the active tab where the video is playing it is working fine and no stopps/hanging.

So there seems to be a problem with playing streams/Videos on non active tabs...

I testet Linux Bazzite and there wasnt this problem with Firefox.

So seems to be a problem with Firefox in Windows...

I have Firefox Settings UNCHECKED to open previous windows and tabs, yet it very often tells me it's having trouble opening previous windows and tabs.

I want it to quit trying to open previous windows and tabs on this computer. How can I do this?

I am having trouble accessing The Washington Times with Firefox. Every time I click on a story, it comes up, but then immediately the screen shades out to a gray screen, and nothing works. Also, if I open The Times website and click on sign-in for my account, nothing happens. If I go directly to the Times website and try ti sign in, the screen greys out again. This just started happening yesterday. If I go to a laptop with an earlier version of Firefox on it, all works just fine. Also, if I access the Washington Times with Microsoft Edge, it works just fine. Would appreciate it if I could get some help here.

Tonight I received a notice that a new version of Firefox was available and asking if I wanted to download it. It showed me the new Kit mascot so I decided to let it install. It seemed to install normally but when it tried to open what I guess is a welcome/new features page, it crashes, and just showed a prompt to try again. This continued in an endless loop and I had to shut it down. Unfortunately I no longer had a functioning version available that I could find so I downoaded the ESR version to be safe (ver 140.5.0esr) which I am now using. Somehow I was able to recover bookmarks and hopefully other saved info. Can anyone advise what has happened? I have used Firefox for many years and never had this sort of problem before. Running Windows 11 on a new Dell i7 PC.
