Hi Guys, I have used Firefox browser to open and use Yahoo Finance for many years without any problems. On Wednesday 16th July 2025, suddenly, I could not download any stock charts. At first I thought it was a glitch with yahoo itself. However after a lot of searching and frustrating trial and error I seem to have pinpointed the problem to my Firefox browser. These charts will open as normal in Chrome. I have refreshed, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox without success. Any ideas please?

Colin.

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading (see the browser console for more information).

where is the browser console? how do i fix it never had an issue with until the last two days?

Hello,

I'm writing because I’ve encountered an issue with the tab groups feature in Firefox.

Some time ago, after a browser update, I noticed a new feature that allowed me to group tabs thematically — I could name each group (e.g., "Study", "Work"), choose a color for it, and save and close groups to reopen them later. I found it very useful and used it a lot.

Last night, I decided to declutter my browser and closed several tab groups using the built-in menu. A bit later, I shut down my computer, but perhaps too quickly. This morning, when I turned my computer back on, Firefox was very slow to start. After a restart, everything seemed to work fine again, and the open tabs were restored.

However, all my previously saved (but temporarily closed) tab groups disappeared. In the tab group menu, I can now only see the ones currently open. I’ve searched through all the settings and history but cannot find any way to restore the missing groups.

Is there any way to recover the tab groups that I had previously saved and closed?

Thank you very much in advance!

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.

I am using version 140 on Linux and now two company sites do not work properly when "enhanced trakcing protection" is enabled. The 2 companies are "public mobile" a Cell phone provider and "Voip.ms" a phone provider.

When I log onto public mobile I cannot view my specific account information, I can see other menu information. voip.ms I cannot log on either chat or the main customer portal. This only recently changed within the last 4 days and I am using the same version of firefox.

Can you provide an explanation as to why this is occurring?

Hi. I used to be able to just grab and image on a webpage and drag it to my desktop. Now I have to go through the whole rigmaroll of right click and save. Anyone know how I can go back to the faster way please?

Thanks.

I regularly use a website which intercepts command-option-up and command-option-down for its own navigation. This is a central part of my workflow with this website, and without it it becomes completely unusable.

After updating to Firefox 140.0.4, these shortcuts are now used by the browser to switch tabs. I have not found any way to configure this. Am I missing some obscure way to do this or is this just impossible?

I imagine this change was made to support vertical tabs, but I'm not using those, so the command-option-left and command-option-right shortcuts make more sense for my horizontal setup. (I don't use those shortcuts either, though- I use ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab!)

Recently switched from Chrome and in Chrome I would open my "Other Bookmarks" folder and middle click a bunch of bookmarks which would open them up in a new tab without switching to that tab or closing the "Other bookmarks" folder.

Is there a way I can replicate this on Firefox? Because at the moment, middle clicking the bookmarks does nothing. This is not about the bookmarks bar at the top.
