When I open a private window, my bookmarks sidebar is showing. I can easily remove it but it shouldn't be there. Until very recently, private windows didn't have the bookmarks sidebar. I don't know why this started but I would like to find some way to have the bookmarks sidebar NOT automatically appear when I open a private window (but of course I want to continue to have bookmarks automatically appear in regular Firefox windows). I've looked online and tried various methods that were supposed to work, but they don't. Can you tell me how I can fix this (minor) problem? Thanks.

Using Windows 10, an Nvidia GTX 1080, and a Panasonic VSX-40 receiver, connected by HDMI.

I recently got a new stereo receiver and have been seeing problems with the HDMI connection. The the image becomes discolored and green at times and stays that way until the receiver is restarted or the input is switched off HDMI and back.

After extensive troubleshooting (replacing cables, updating drivers, testing to reproduce the problem) I have determined that Firefox is the issue.

Playing a youtube video or a twitch stream has a small chance of causing the error. Mousing over a tab with a video in it causes the error almost 100% of the time. The same videos and streams do not cause these problems in Google Chrome.

I have disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox settings and that has solved the issue, but now I have the problem that Firefox is not using hardware acceleration. It scrolls poorly and generally sucks to use this way.

Is there a way to change the way Firefox displays these videos without disabling hardware acceleration completely? Chrome renders them without causing issues, and I've been unable to trigger this error in any way outside of Firefox.

I can login to research.gov on Chrome using biometrics, but Firefox is locked into demanding a passkey I don't have. How can I reset it so it offers the biometrics option?

I tried typing about:config in my Firefox address, searching for security.webauthn.enable_macos_passkeys, then setting the value to false, but that didn't work.

So then I searched for security.webauth.webauthn and set it to false but that didn't work.

been having issues with files lately. i can dl a file and open the folder. if i try to open the file from the browser or the folder directly, the browser window will freeze. additional browser windows are still functional. how do i fix this? no files will open even in safe mode.

When testing our web application, I can consistently get the tab to crash in Firefox (not other browsers). This happens even when running in Troubleshoot mode.

A few of the submitted crashes: bp-f1e47e32-aa7e-4080-880c-34f160250710 bp-622b9363-fa50-4b15-b605-87c3e0250702

Can anyone tell what is causing it to crash, and if we can do something to fix it?

Why would you cancel coverage on FakeSpot? This was a tool used frequently by multiple people that I knew, and what it really feels like is that FireFox is being bought out and removing it to make it easier for all of the scammers to continue to pump us full of fake garbage. Really disappointing to see this service being discontinued and hoping that you reconsider.

Hello! I've been seeing some strange behavior on firefox launch or on new profile launch. There is a popup during startup, can't see it on the screen but I can see it in tray. Is this normal or no? I observed it on two different hp notebooks so far.

I have created several groups (currently 4 with a total of 11 tabs combined). When a group is closed, do those tabs become inactive, reducing their impact on Firefox/computer performance, or do they still remain active and impacting overall performance?

I want to use a different credit card. If I type in a new credit it tells me it is not a valid number. Somehow the system remembers one credit card and will not let me use a different card

Hi Team, I am using Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon. Cinnamon version is 4.6.6. The issue is that I was browsing and by mistake I selected one tab then dragged it for sometime and then released the tab but that created a new window and now the old windows are not visible in ALT + Tab function. The windows are showing in the Firefox task manager and also the box icon in the top right corner in that "open tabs". Now I am not able to even change the window or able to access the opened tabs. Attached the screenshot and as you can see in that there are total 4 windows showing in firefox and one as active but in the bottom on the firefox icon you can see its only 1 window. How can I access the remaining 3 windows? Found one ticket (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1477845) in this the recommend solution does not work. When I try to click on the window 1 tabs then I do not get any response. I tried both the solution but none worked.

Thanks for the help in advance. @Mozilla team member is seeing please check and fix this bug if possible.

How can I sync my groups between different instances of Firefox (other computer)? That should cover both active and saved groups to have real usefulness. Thank you
