See the image below, how do I prevent that black box showing up and showing anyone who uses my device my sensitive data? How is this not a common setting to be changed?

Very insecure and Horrible to have on by default. Recently switched to firefox from chrome because of security concerns but stuff like this is making me want to go back, because HOW IS THIS SAFE AND SECURE?!?!?!?

I've typed in passwords in boxes that arent really password boxes, and firefox has suggested my own password in plain sight like in the image below.

Strongly recommend firefox to not make this default and make it an accessible setting to disable because I've leaked my sensitive information to online calls because of this. This urgently needs to be addressed as a security concern. At least have a cogwheel button next to the black box to quickly disable this setting. Very very disappointed.

When I open Firefox, the master pw window opens with data showing. I can x out of the window & continue. So my data is exposed to anyone who hacks into my desktop PC. WIN 11 64-bit. Please help.

I switched my default search engine from Google to Bing. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it should be searching with Bing. But for some reason the search results are always Google. How do I fix this? I haven't refreshed Firefox yet. I was hoping to avoid that.

Hi, I recently authorised an update and now how lost all my GUI data > my bookmarks and tabs, passwords and history too. I had to reinstall Firefox through Edge on my Windows 10 laptop because of the update which froze the system. Can you help me to access this valuable information and let me continue with the best browser I have been using for over a decade please? Why have I lost my data? Thank you in advance.

My Firefox account was initially set up through https://accounts.firefox.com.cn. With the new Firefox version, this login method no longer works, causing me to lose access to all my bookmarks. What solutions are available to recover my bookmarks from the https://accounts.firefox.com.cn account? Here is My Email: [email removed]

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

It's really strange (I'm still trying to understand my relatively new Windows 11 laptop), bookmarks have been where I'd expect them for a few days, then this morning, it's as if Firefox has done some sort of clean/re-arrangement. The bookmarks had disappeared and there wasn't my usual array of sites available along the top. Then by clicking on a few things on the right (Firefox) 'most used' re-appeared, then later the toolbar is there on the right, I'd really like it back on the left And also I'd love to know whether I might have done something unconsciously which caused this.

After my pc has been on for a while, seemingly random duration, Im not able to open firefox anymore. For example if clicking on a link in discord, or if I close the browser and want to open it again. I've tried refreshing and reinstalling but that didn't help.

Yesterday I synced Firefox desktop to iPhone 13 and iPad 11. I created an account. The syncing worked.

Today I tried to access one specific website and got this message: "500 server error. Oops. Sorry. Your request could not be carried out because of an error. Please log out and sign in again". That didn't work.

I tried accessing other websites within Firefox desktop Version # 140.04 64 bit. They do work.

I don't know if this service error is something within Firefox or within Windows 10 latest update, or something else. I've reviewed system Administrative Events and there are numerous notes for 7/18/25. Many say "Distributed COM" some are Service control manager, many entries "Device setup manager". I have photos of several screens.

I've deleted cache and history (I use private Mozilla). I've restarted the laptop PC twice. No change to that website access. I used troubleshooting and that didn't help at all.

Please help diagnose where the problem is and how to fix it if the source is my computer. If it's a server problem please advise. Thank you. JHL
