Hello!

After the latest Firefox Desktop updates (not sure which one exactly, since I didn't notice the issue immediately), I've started experiencing a problem with copy-pasting text — specifically with line break formatting on Windows 10.

Instead of copying line breaks using the Windows-style carriage return + line feed (\r\n), Firefox now copies only line feeds (\n). As a result, the text appears as a single long line when pasted into native Windows applications — which breaks the expected formatting. This behavior mainly affects:

• Text editable fields (e.g., contenteditable or textarea) in modern web applications.
• Code blocks or snippets (such as in Markdown or monospace) copied using "Copy" buttons (e.g., in ChatGPT or GitHub).

At first, I noticed this only when copying code from ChatGPT using the code-snippet copy button. But now it happens in almost all editable text areas — if I enter text with line breaks manually, and then copy it, those breaks do not appear properly in native Windows apps. For example:

• In Google Sheets, I often edit text with line breaks in a cell, but when I copy it back, it's all flattened into one line.

Right now, I have to fix this using scripts that replace \n with \r\n, but that's a very inconvenient workaround.

❗My main question is: What changed in Firefox that caused this behavior? This used to be reliable and feels like a regression. It’s a very basic feature and critically important for my daily workflow!

🔧 Follow-up questions:

1. Can this be fixed in a future Firefox update? Will it be addressed?
2. Is there a way to fix or configure this behavior right now via browser(settings, configs)?
3. Is there an extension or workaround that can restore the \r\n format without manual scripting?

Affected apps:

• ChatGPT
• Google Spreadsheets
• Trello
• ProtonMail (regular text copying)
• (more)

Thanks in advance for any clarification or suggestions!

There a way to cast videos from my firefox desktop version to my chromecast?

I use a extension (fx_cast) but wihout sucess.

I need to use another browsers (chrome, chromium, edge) all theses works well.

Any solution?

I would like to be able to download YouTube videos.

Is there a Firefox add-on that will allow me to download YouTube videos onto my MacMini?

I tried Video DownloadHelper and YouTube Video Downloader and didn't see any action.

Do I need to setup settings a certain way to make it work?

What are the steps to make it work?

Thank you for your assistance.

Everytime i open firefox it defaults to bing, but not as a homepage which is just my regular firefox, rather as a startup screen. If the firefox application is closed and opened again it will default to bing.

I just got a new laptop and have set Firefox as the default browser. Duckduckgo is my search engine which I could use on the Firefox home page with my old machine. I do not want to search with Google. I see no way to eliminate Google as the default search engine. How can I change this?

Thank you

Hi,

I have a sidebar that appears to be permanent and I cannot make it go away.

I opened firefox, went to reopen the previous session tab with control + shift + t, and my fingers slipped and hit the wrong combo of buttons.

Then this thing appeared. This sidebar. I looked for similar questions on the topic, but it is not the history or bookmarks sidebar that pops up from control + h or control + b. I love hotkeys.

So my question is, how do I disable the dang thing?? I tried going into custom tools, I tried looking into settings, but I really cannot find this. And it seems that other issues are usually to due with bookmarks/history sidebars - which I don't believe to be the issue here..

Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's the sidebar on the left in my image if that provides any further info!

Thanks :)

I am reaching out to seek assistance with a recurring issue we are experiencing in the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Issue Description: On the user's first visit to the page, the thumbnail fails to load and displays a black screen instead of the intended image. This issue is observed specifically in Firefox, while the same functionality works seamlessly across other browsers.

Steps to Reproduce: Open our webpage in Mozilla Firefox. Ensure it is the first visit (clear cache if necessary). Observe the thumbnail image section.

Expected Behavior: The thumbnail should load and display the intended image correctly.

Actual Behavior: The thumbnail displays a black screen instead.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Verified server response and headers; no anomalies found. Checked CORS policies and ensured they are configured correctly. Tested in other browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.), where the issue does not occur.

Request for Assistance: Could you please help us identify if this issue is related to:

Any specific Firefox rendering engine behavior? Known bugs or limitations in handling thumbnails or images on the first load? Additional configurations we might need to implement for Firefox compatibility?
