I am using Windows 11 on both my desktop and laptop. I began using vertical tabs a ways back. On my desktop I am able to scroll through the active vertical tabs with the mouse. But, I am unable to scroll the vertical tabs on my laptop. I have compared the Firefox settings on both computers and have been unable to find any settings that are different which could be applicable.

I had lots of trouble making Firefox work yesterday, after what I believe was a Mozilla update I had to uninstall and then reinstall. What I am experiencing after the new install and all updates is: I placed the icon on the taskbar. when I open Firefox it opens a new icon in the taskbar. I have two icons when using firefox instead of two like it has always been before. In the picture, the icon on the left is always there. The one on the right opens when I open firefox. Is it supposed to work like this? It is a windows issue? Is it A mozilla issue? Anyone else having this issue. I have tried different ways after deleting the icons, to place it back on the taskbar. I used the pin to taskbar, drag and drop on taskbar... Any ideas. Just live with it? or fix it somehow?

I tried to use 'Change location' in the weather widget on the New tab page. I can type my location name in the search box, but it doesn't give any results. Thanks for reading my question!

Windows 11 expensive high performance tower PC. When I am closing Firefox I am warned that I am about to close 80+ tabs although. I actually had only 13 tab groups (closed) and one ordinary tab open (The New York Times) I close Firefox anyway and ALL the group tabs disappeared.

Sometimes, when I am warned that I am closing 80+ tabs, they luckily they haven't disappeared upon restarting Firefox. This happens often.

I know how to reconstruct my tab Groups proceeding from listing all tabs.

Sometimes the tab groups don't disappear. It makes no difference whether I start a Firefox session on my just rebooted PC (and run PC for a minutes only using Firefox) or not. When I recently closed Firefox I could see from task manager that there was minor activity showing in the Firefox app which surprised me. I hope you have an idea of what might be occurring. I'm not a novice, I purchased my first PC in 1989

Thank you, Anita

Hello I seem to have lost the ability to choose whether my bookmarks toolbar displays icons and text or icons only. At present I have icons plus 4 letters of text fading out. I want to return to icons only. How do I do this? Regards

Why am I suddenly having to login to FF after every PC restart? This happens all the time now, but not on Android. Also, when I log back in I get duplicate emails with the same codes to confirm my details. What is going on?? I have not got FF set to delete data on exit.

I am signed in to Mozilla account but the VPN plug in never gives me the option to turn it ON. I see the VPN plug in in the tool bar, every time I click on it, it tells me to sign in to my account even though I am already signed in. It never presents the option to turn "on" like I see in the FAQ. The "Turn on VPN" option never appears.

When I download with this browser, I cannot open the file and it states download has "failed". Any other browser I use allows me to open the file. I use Firefox most often because I like the way it performs, but the download issue causes me to look elsewhere for a viable browser. I cannot seem to find what is causing the download failure and am hoping you can offer a reason that will provide a fairly quick fix.

Since the blow up User Id's and Passwords to various sites no longer pop in by clicking in the requestors. I was able to retreive my UIDs and Passwords but I now have to obtain them from the Hamburger, Passworkds, etc. for each site I visit that requires a login. Twice for each site...one foe UID and again for Password. That is currently the worst problem I am facing but other damage was done with the update.

Suggestions for fixes are welcome.

I'm unable to open my mail.att.net on my HP Windows 11 computer. The screen shifts to Yahoo mail now. For a time I could click on the "small Person" symbol to log in. That now longer works. The session times out without connecting. I've cleaned and deleted cookies and browsing history. The same login problem now also occurs on my Microsoft Edge browser.
