Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

Since one of the latest updates, Firefox keeps randomly showing me a popup saying "pin this tab", pointing to a tab I just opened. I close it with its X button, but after a while it just pops up again. I don't want to pin a tab, ever - I have bookmarks for a reason and I don't see any point in this feature. How do I stop this incredibly annoying popup from bugging me constantly to do something I never want to do?

Question is all there is, why does Firefox 153.0 x64 CRASH COMPLETELY and Windows 11 x64 "App Crash Reporting" is automatically invoked, 3 out of 4 times a simple "History - Clear History - Clear Everything" function is implemented??

Thanks,

Hello,

I had been using Firefox as my default browser for a few years ... around 4 weeks ago i had some updates on my work's laptop and somehow i have lost my saved passwords for websites that i use regurlarly.

is there a way of accessing them again ?

Kind Regards

Jon-Paul

The AI enhancements kill battery by more than triple idle CPU consumption, It gets rectified by blocking them but at every restart the Firefox has them again activated!!! If it does not get corrected soon I will have to switch browser

A little over a week ago I logged on asking a question related to the inability of the download I had made of the current version of Firefox to install on my new windows 11 Pro laptop. There were a couple of answers, the last of which was posted by James, who is identified as a Moderator.

I made not of his response, logged out of the forum and followed his instructions. I found that he had accurately diagnosed the problem and had responded with a very successful answer.

Over the following week I attempted several times to log back onto the forum and replying to his response to thank him for his assistance and let other forum members know that his effort was appreciated.

At no time was I able to return to my question, find his response and properly thank him for his effort. Each time I returned to my question I was blocked from doing anything other than reading my question. I could not even access the replies..

That is not in the interest of the forum's users and is an insult to the hard working moderators whose efforts must be duly acknowledged and lauded.

I suggest that some changes to this website are due and whomever the powers may be that make stupid decisions which maybe harmful to its users should be given the heave-ho and be returned to that unspeakable place from which they evolved.

Thank you James. You did an excellent job and should be commended!

Hello, First of all, sorry for my bad english. I'm not a native speaker. I'm running Firefox 153.0 on a W11 PC. I recently encountered some problems when signing into Microsoft.com.

In order to sign in, I need to enter my email adress (duh) and my password before proceeding with 2FA. However, when I submit my password, the login page immediatly sends this error message : Password sign-in isn’t available. Try another method.

I first thought my credentials were wrong. This is not the case since I managed to log in with another browser (Edge, to be more specific). The same message appears whether the password is correct or not. In other words, Microsoft doesn't even bother to check if credentials info are correct.

I encounter the same problem with other Microsoft accounts. I tried to log in with 2 other machines (also running Firefox 153.0) on two different networks with different IPs, and the issue persists. However, when trying to log in from another browser or using a Firefox private window, everything works like a charm.

The problem then seems to come from the " classic " Firefox browsing. Here's what I tried :

• Closing and reopening Firefox and restarting Windows (well, you never know, it could be useful) ;
• Completely clearing cache and browsing data ;
• Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (so add-ons are not a problem here, and I'm only using uBlock) ;

The issue persists. I'm quite at a loss here.

I regularily log in to my Microsoft account and this issue first occured since the 153.0 update. Any idea ?

I'm not the only one with this problem, at least one other person encountered this issue, confer this reddit post (which is not mine, however I'm one of the commenters).

Have a nice one, Atuvu

Cant access "X" website .... get message that says Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (strict mode) is known to cause issues on X.com

I use a notetaking app called xournal++, which is helpful with graphic tablets.

There is this issue that seems persistent, When I annotate anything via xournal++, I export it to pdf and view it on firefox, The highlighting which is supposed to be slightly transparent, Appears completely opaque, blocking text underneath it

Now I Would normally contact the xournal team, but it seems this issue is only present in mozilla's pdf reader

I have tried opening other pdfs, although the same results occur

(Also apologies in advance I have no clue which category this should be in)

I am trying to browse a particular website (olivegarden.com), but it automatically redirects me to the country-specific website (olivegarden.ca). I have tried it on different browsers but I get the same result. It does not do it for Amazon or other websites for example. When I use a VPN, I have no problem accessing the .com website. Do I need to adjust the settings on Firefox or is this an issue with Olive Garden? I have reached out to them but so far they are unable to help me.

For some time now, it is not possible to log in to Facebook. One of the following two errors is returned in a loop: if I click on any of them, the other one comes up;

1. Your session timed out Please start again.

                                           OK button

2. This page isn't available at the moment This may be because of a technical error that we're working to fix. Please try reloading this page.

            Reload page button

Clicking any of the two buttons will go to the other window in a loop.

I have tried using Firefox in Safe mode, but nothing changed. No issues on Facebook on Edge or my Samsung phone.

Thank you for helping.

Some websites' signin/signout pulldown now impossible to identify and access, because only bottom half of the Tabs field displays. Top half is always obscured by a white bar (see blue arrow in attached JPG screenshot).

i am running Firefox on a Windows 10 Dell G3 laptop. I wonder if this is a problem with settings or with Add-Ons?

When copying from an outside tab then use paste value only into a Google Sheets tab, whether using shortcut or the drop down menu, it seems to first paste properly then show a "paste" dialog box that couldn't be removed. Any other input seems to paste again, taking from the last copy before the current one. Copying from another Google Sheets tab seems to have the same result but instead of the dialog box, it double paste, as described previously, immediately. Testing in Chrome seems to work as usual and clearing the cache has not help. Issues seems to arise since the latest update to Firefox.

Hi, I have been using Firefox for Windows for almost three decades. I have an ASUS VivoBook with a fully patched Windows 11 Home Edition 64bit operating system. Firefox is my default browser, with Microsoft Edge as the back-up should things go awry. Well, they have with this Firefox upgrade. It effectively blocks me from using my NordLynx VPN. There is no connectivity at all if I have the VPN on. If I pause it, then no problem. What gives? This has never happened before.

Nord VPN has already been given permissions through my Windows Defender Firewall. So how and why are you programming a solid wall against my utilizing it's functionality?

I would like your input before I start hard troubleshooting, since this is totally on your end.

Zdravím! Prakticky každé tri dni sú akési aktualizácie. Predtým bolo v nastaveniach všetko priehľadné, teraz ste to "poskrývali", že to musím hľadať, kde čo je! Nenávidím to !!

Chcem sa vrátiť o niekoľko verzií späť, kde to bolo jednoduché, priehľadné, skrátka fajn! Každou aktualizáciou to len komplikujete a komplikujete, viac a viac!

A potom "vyskakovacie okná". Tie vaše! Príklad: Pozerám youtube na malý screen. Ak si dám video na celý monitor, okamžite, asi na 5 sec. vyskočí okno - "youtube is now full screen". Robí to vždy, všade, pri všetkých videách, nielen na youtube, ak zmením formát na "full screen". Toto ma extrémne vytáča! Viete, ja som sprostý primitív, ja, ak si dám video na "full screen", ja to ešte potrebujem oznámiť vyskakovacím oknom! Niečo nenormálne! Napíšte mi, kde sa to dá v nastaveniach zmeniť! Alebo to zmeňte sami, keď tu každé tri dni robíte neustále aktualizácie! Ďakujem a dúfam, že sa z Vašej strany dočkám odpovede.

S pozdravom,

Hello! Practically every three days there are some kind of updates. Before everything was transparent in the settings, now you "hid" it, that I have to look for it, where it is! I hate it!!

I want to go back a few versions, where it was simple, transparent, in short, great! With each update you just complicate and complicate it, more and more!

And then "pop-ups". Yours! Example: I'm watching youtube on a small screen. If I put a video on the whole monitor, immediately, for about 5 seconds. a window pops up - "youtube is now full screen". It does it always, everywhere, with all videos, not only on youtube, if I change the format to "full screen". This is extremely annoying to me! You know, I'm a stupid primitive, if I put a video on "full screen", I still need to notify it with a pop-up window! Something abnormal! Write to me where it can be changed in the settings! Or change it yourself, when you make constant updates here every three days! Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

Best regards,

Jozef Varga
