Firefox Community Forum

[edit] I was using my phone to post this question and inadvertently posted it to the android forum. This is a DESKTOP question.

I'm trying to sync my tab groups across my desktop/laptop. I have sync enabled through the settings and I've checked every box, but I don't seem to see an option for syncing tab groups specifically. It syncs all of my bookmarks and active tabs, but the groups seem to be unique to each device. Is this feature available? I might be looking in the wrong spot so if anyone has any insight that would be great! Cheers

On certain websites , the audio and video still auto play even though the option, "AutoPlay" is blocked for both audio and video.

Please see the attached screenshot which shows that auto play is blocked, it is circled in red. While the video has auto played, circled in orange with a timestamp of 17 seconds being played prior to it being manually stopped.

Please fix this issue.

Have an app with a web interface that I used for years, but not with several of the latest versions of FF. Chrome, Edge, and DuckDuckGo all show the page as expected and the page functions properly.

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8384/ Error looks like this:

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:[port number].

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Have tried a large number of things including:

Ping works for ip and hostname, v4 and v6 Confirmed address is accessible through other browsers Disabled extensions Added exceptions in Settings for HTTPS-only mode Various settings in about:config, careful to return them to previous states when they didn't fix the problem Tried Safe Mode (aka Troubleshoot Mode) Refreshed Firefox (as prompted before uninstalling)

My last step is to reinstall, but thought I'd ask here first. Has anyone seen this before?

After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

When using full-screen mode on macOS, moving the mouse to the top of the screen causes the title bar to appear. This frequently interferes with tab switching and leads to accidental clicks.

Is there any way to disable this automatic title bar reveal? Or, ideally, can it be made to behave like Safari, where only the window buttons slide down from the top-left without showing the entire title bar?

I've been using Firefox from its beginning and reply on some of its unique features for my work. Since the 138 update I've been struggling to manage with things that have always worked before not working any more. I just updated to 139, and they are still not working.

In Gmail, the delete and mark as unread buttons don't work - I click on them and nothing happens.

In YouTube, from the home page I can't open any video - when I click on the image or the title nothing happens. I have to use another browser for this most basic functionality.

I am using Windows 10 Pro with latest updates on a desktop computer with 16 GB RAM.

After a windows update(W 10), I had to reinstall Firefox, but everything has disappeared! All links to apps, my files, Bookmarks etc. How can I get my Firefox details back? Thanks for your help. Dave Neild

Hello,

since about a week ago Investing.com Portofolios and Stock Charts do not automatically update themselves. I put Chrome, Opera and Firefox side by side and Firefox is the only one which doesn't work.

It's updated to last version 139 64 bit, I tried after cleaning all cookies, Setting refresh different cookies filtering settings but the only way to get a refresh of the data is by pressing F5 or changing the period for the charts.

Thanks for your help

My homepage uses 4 rows. How do I change the transparency around the images of each of the links in these rows? It's set at 75%. I'd like to experiment with changing it but I forgot how I viewed this 75% info.

Here is one occurrence that describes my problem ...

I read the newspapers online; the New York Times, Washington Post and San Francisco Chronicle among them. When the site loads the first few screens are no problems, all of the graphics/pictures show normally. The problem happens as I scroll down. When I scroll, the graphics/pictures don't show. I have to do a reload to get them displayed. And this happens over and over as I scroll down. Once I get to the bottom and have done a number of reloads everything is now displayed properly. If I go up to the top and work my way down again, all of the graphics and pictures display properly.

This does not happen with either of the other browsers that I occasionally use (Norton, DuckDuck). But I very much prefer Firefox and would like to fix this.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I had to quit Firefox this morning because of a problem with my proxy and when it reopened it had updated to Firefox 139. In the process, I lost my entire browsing history and all open tabs from my previous session. Although in settings I have "Open previous windows and tabs" selected always, when Firefox restarted the browsing history was empty and "Restore previous session" was not an option under history, nor were "Recently closed tabs" or "Recently closed windows." I cannot locate any backup files in the Firefox library on my computer (MacBook Air running Ventura 13.7.5). I really need to be able to restore the previous session, please let me know if this is possible.

Hi, can someone please help. I just updated Firefox this morning to version 139. Then went to a bank site to download a CSV file of transactions - something I've been doing for many years. I click the button to 'Export Activity (CSV)' and then a pop-up window comes asking me if I want to open or save the file. Another window opens, headed 'Enter name of file to save to' and shows me the folders and has boxes at the bottom 'File name' and 'Save as type'. Here is where the problem starts. The 'Save as type' box usually has CSV in it, but now it's greyed out. The only option there is 'All files'. So I have to select that, and after I press OK then another window comes up giving the folder path and filename and saying 'File not found, Check the filename and try again'. I also get a Windows Security message saying 'Unauthorised changes blocked, Controlled folder access blocked firefox.exe from making changes'. I should stress again that none of this has ever happened before so I suspect it must be related to the Firefox update. I was able to download from the same site on Microsoft Edge with no problems.

I am unable to receive emails into my Gmail inbox using a normal window. I can send mail but not receive it. I am using a laptop with windows 11. I can use gmail both in and out in a private window. I can use it in Chrome and Edge. It's only Firefox. I've been sending test messages from my Proton account to my gmail account I've disabled all the addons for mail.google.com I don't know anything about pop/imap but I think it must be Firefox settings I've cleared the cache I've tried to sync everything but that only sync between tablet phone and laptop I've asked google for help and gone through the lists including a config check I've closed Firefox and restarted I've restarted my laptop I thought I'd use Private windows and set it all up, signed in on my tabs, saved them to a folder and arranged to start in private using the tabs in that folder but then I had to sign in to everything again when it started. Signing in to Google is a pain in the arse as it is to sign in to X I've spent 6 hours so far...... I've used FF for years, the easy answer is to use Edge but I don't like it that much Please help.

(Sorry if the wrong area.)

I'm curious and play with Node-Red a lot.

Just now I am playing with the `http-request` to explore web pages.

I press the `F12` key and the tools pop up and I go through some basic things.

I see/get just about nothing. See pic (Don't know to make it inline.) But the name says it all.

So I've pressed the `F12` key, clicked on the NETWORK and REFRESHED the page.

Now with Chrome.

Whole different set of stuff.

Someone - please. What's going on? I'm not understanding the huge difference with how things are shown.
