this is still really annoying: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1500761

why is the icon even there or why does it have to disappear and then also change the tab size ?

1) if its there to enable you to play a tab in the background, then i want the option to switch the feature on or off (because i do not want to play anything in the background, atleast not via a 24/7 target practice with a mouse)

2) if its there to give you notice that there is a 'multimedia' tab open in your browser, then i want the icon to stay there and not dissapear plus change tab size...

like what is this even ? are we back in the 50s ?

I thought I used to be able to access browser history from much longer ago, either way I can no longer see any history longer ago than 29/10/2025 is there anyway for me to restore, download or access older history, or has it been permanently deleted? I do still have a back-up of 28/12/2025 but I don't know if or where that contains history. I'm looking for data between 2019-06-01 and 2024-08-21. Weird thing is I remember accessing search history that old before... though I'm not sure how if if it doesn't store it for that long. Any help would be appreciated.

That tab grouping "feature" really is too much like modern software developers' tendency to roll out a new "feature" and turn it on automatically no matter how annoying some users may find it. Some times when a mouse cursor goes too far and wanders into that tab zone, Firefox starts grouping tabs. Please allow us to turn the thing off.

My browser was recently updated to 150.0.2, and on the new launch page after update describing new features, it prompted me that the new free mozilla vpn was available to try. When I clicked on the link to follow the steps to set it up, it said to click the vpn icon in the toolbar, but I don't see that icon there. When I go to more tools -> customize toolbar to try to find that icon to add it back, it doesn't appear among the toolbar options. Is this something I still don't have access to because it's in a limited beta, or is there some other way I should be accessing this?

I use Firefox 150.0. Flightradar24.com reports that my browser doesn't support WEbGL2. However it reports that Firefox supports WebGL2 since version 51.

I've pretty much exhausted my simple little mind about this problem. At some point around the beginning of the year, Firefox changed the fonts on all my toolbars to some ridiculously miniscule font. I've queried Google's AI several times, tried every solution I've received, all to no avail. Is there a way to do this? I just want to enlarge the font in all the toolbars, not the web site contents, and lock it in. Thanks to whoever can help me achieve this.

Currently when I click a link in and email, it always opens in Microsoft Edge even though my computer has Firefox as default browser. Is there another setting I'm missing?

General Default browser

Firefox is your default browser. Good choice.

Hello. I have a problem with firefox lagging on high end pc, these are my specs for context: cpu - ryzen 7 9800x3d gpu - rtx 5070 ram 32 gb ddr5 6000mhz motherboard - msi b850 wifi 6e

i have a folder of bookmarks called "social media". When i want to check every website there (for example: telegram, discord, whatsapp), i start manually opening them up, so i hit the folder, click the needed icon, open new tab, repeat everything. And the moment i turn on 2 tabs like that, everything starts lagging. I don't think that my pc is the problem, because it is not even half a year old + it has good specs. Maybe there is a setting that i accidentally turned off/need to turn on to remove this problem? I love firefox, and i am using it for a while now, but now i am thinking about switching browsers because of this constant lag that happens. With all due respect, Emin.

P.S. i know that you can open all of the bookmarks right clicking the bookmark folder and then pressing "open all bookmarks", but most of the times i don't need to open all of the bookmarks, that's why i open everything as i said earlier.
