The following content is machine translated: The passkey feature (login via QR code scanning with a mobile phone) is not available the Linux version of Firefox. Compared to Windows and macOS, the Linux version does not have a passkey option when logging in; it only has a "security key."(as shown in the image) I cannot use the pass key saved on my iPhone to log in to websites, which is very frustrating. Is this a bug or an incomplete feature? Thank you for your reply. device: archlinux

Untranslated (chinese) : 通行密钥功能（通过手机扫描二维码登录）在linux版的firefox上并不能使用，相比windows和macos，linux版在登录时并没有通行密钥选项，只有一个“安全密钥”（如图），我无法使用保存在iPhone上的通行密钥来登录网站，这很令人沮丧，这是一个bug还是没有完成的功能？感谢您的回复 设备：archlinux

How can I make sure the Vertical Tabs sidebar stays visible in full screen mode?

It worked this way by default until the [154.0 release](https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/154.0/releasenotes/#note-792047):

> Fixed the Vertical Tabs sidebar staying visible in full screen mode. It now hides along with the toolbars and reappears when the cursor moves to the edge of the screen.

Is there a config setting that re-enables the old behavior? I want the address bar to be hidden in full screen mode, but not the Vertical Tabs sidebar.

Hi.

I'm using Firefox 153.0 on Fedora 44 with GNOME 50. Everything is up to date at this date. I know that Firefox is supposed to support fractional scaling on Wayland since version 146.0. However, it does not work on my device.

As you can see, the first screenshot is when Firefox is in fullscreen mode. Fractional scaling seems to work and the text and picture are very sharp. However, when I resize the window, it looks like Firefox does not support fractional scaling (see my second attached screenshot). The text is blurry and not as sharp as when the window is in fullscreen mode.

Hi all,

Sometimes Firefox just closes a couple dozens tabs - I keep around 200 or 300 open - without my request or confirmation. It's not frequent, but quite annoying. Clicking History > Recently closed tabs > Reopen all tabs does not restore all. I don't know where I can find references for the lost tabs or Firefox logs where I could check what happened. My only suspicion is that I inadvertently rest my hand or finger somewhere in my notebook's trackpad, and somehow Firefox understand that as a request to close several tabs at once, but I have no clue if that makes any sense. I didn't test in Safe Mode because this happens too unfrequently for me to tell if Safe Mode avoids the problem.

Could you pls help me finding the reason for that? Does Firefox keep any kind of log I can check? Are there any keboard shortcuts or mouse/trackpad action that can be set up to do this?

Firefox version: 153.0.1 Distro: Linux Mint Version: 21.3 (Virginia) (Based on Ubuntu 22.04 - Jammy) Kernel: 5.15.0-186-generic

Thanks!

I have st installed Lime on my old Asus Zenbook an have installed Nord VPN. I am using the Firefox browser showing connected to the internet but am unable to access my webmail account and its popping up messges advising Problem loading webpage and another showing 502 Bad gateway. I am also having problem with the Zenbooks Keyboard with keys randomly not operating when pressed but will work after a prolonged or multi pressing.

I asked AI: "I'm being prevented from using options which cause pop ups but I don't think I've deliberately changed any settings. I want to use "analyze the board" on the Gameknot website but I'm being prevented from using it. How can I get it back?" I followed the instructions: "Mozilla Firefox: Click the three lines (top right) > Settings > Privacy & Security > Permissions. Go to the "Pop-up windows" section and click Exceptions, then add https://gameknot.com" but I haven't re-acquired use of the pop up I ant to continue working. I want it back and its extremely irritating as the work around is very long and boring.

I've been using the split view feature and really like it... however I constantly find myself doing the following:

Having a split view open with related pages, for example a list view in the left pane, and I want to open one of the items in the list view in the opposite pane, currently I have to:

1. Copy the url in the left pane 2. Switch to the right pane 3. Target the address bar 4. Paste the url 5. Load the new url

Ideally an additional 'open link in x' option could be added specifically when a user is in the split view, that will open the link directly in the opposite pane of the current split, so left > right or right > left.

My question is, is there is a way to do this already; I cannot find any reference to this in the docs.

"Open Link in Opposite Split View" would be perfect.

I open Extensions and I can't find my extension so I open manage extensions and it shows but it's not letting me use it the image that is roblox unfriender is the one not showing up and the picture of 2 extensions is the ones showing up don't roast me I'm a new user

Hi!

I'm trying to use Widgets in the Home page, but I can't find the option to enable them. Following [previous solved question], I checked that I have the "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" option enabled, have restarted and updated Firefox, but I still can't find the option. Should I check for other configurations?

Have used this wi-fi before on Fedora Workstation 44. Reinstalled linux using Xfce Fedora 44. Selected now from list of available wi-fi connections and indicates connected at 79%. Firefox not able to use connection? Thanks for any help available.

About a month or so, opening tabs changed. It's more annoying and less convenient now for no clear reason.

Before, when I opened 20 links in new tabs, the existing tabs were pushed to the left. Now, the new tabs disappear to the right, and I need to scroll the tabs list to see them.

This makes researching things annoying. Especially when I'm trying to find anything useful among tons of useless search results. Normally, I would see every tab that I opened. I could always instantly see by the number of open tabs and domains if I should continue the search. No tabs? I haven't found enough. Same domain? I'm probably running in circles.

To replicate this workflow, now I'd have to manually scroll every time I open a new tab, which would be mighty annoying.

Meanwhile, there's no advantage to seeing my old tabs rather than new tabs. The new tabs are always more important in the moment because I just opened them.

Can this be changed back to old behaviour in about:config, or by some arcane profile hacking?

Recently everytime I open a page in Firefox I get the message "Open the be link?" "You'll need to choose an application. Before this I got another dialogue box asking me to open the System Handler, but I managed to get rid of that to be left with this new dialogue box. Very frustrating as it interrupts the use of Firefox. Chris

this exact question has been asked last year, none of the suggestions work: I am running Firefox 154.01 on Winux I have lost sound on Firefox. I have opened the same sites in Chromium and the sound is working fine. It's only in Firefox. I have tried several sites including , YouTube, and radio programs, no sound from Firefox. All of a sudden the sound disappeared. The speakers is turned on the volume is up, just not a sound from Firefox. What to do? Right now I had to switch over to Chromium
