Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

When I close the browser, recently it is leaving a lot of background processes running. As a foreground application, when I close the browser, I want it ***closed***. That is, no remaining processes/services. File|Exit should mean exactly that.

@Mozilla, please fix this, or add a very clear/obvious setting in Tools|Settings for "Close all browser processes/threads" on exit. I shouldn't need to get into about:config to start finding things to disable.

This has been interfering with backups because of files remaining open/locked even after the browser is closed.

On windows whenever you move a tab and nudge it out of the window, it instantly creates a new window for it, but on SteamOS desktop mode, instead it only creates a new window once you release the tab onto a blank desktop. This is causing a number of glitches for me, most notably if I release onto a desktop that already has an app, it will create a ghost tab or occupies the same position as a different tab making both of them unusable and I want to know how to change it to be more like Windows, or is this a Firefox specific thing in which case will switching to another browser fix the issue?

It can take many closing clicks to get rid of this warning and comes back again after a short while. What should I do? Tried searching with Malwarebytes itself and found no problems. Web search the same.

WebGL2 works fine for several hours but then packs up for no apparent reason. Closing all instances of Firefox browser (not just one tab), and restarting fixes it until the next time. This shouldn’t be necessary, and is becoming annoying as it is too late to save anything. Happens accessing express.co.uk and FlightRadar24.

Norton Password Manager does not load properly since the last Mozilla update. Amazon does not either.

How do I prevent Bing and Edge from popping up instead of Firefox? I have Firefox as my preferred browser.

Hello,

I just switched to Mozilla Firefox from Chrome, I went through the import process and while Password, Bookmarks have been imported the History however will not import at all. It says it will only import 180 days of history but it appears with a yellow triangle exclamation mark and does not even import a single day.

I successfully imported to Edge for example but again if I try to import the history from Edge to Firefox it fails.

I also tried other freshly installed Firefox based browsers and they all fail to import history from chromium browsers.

Please fix this issue.

I already did the restart, unnistal, reinstall process still not working.

I also went through threads on the internet stating to modify flags and other settings it simply fails when any Firefox Browser tried to import Chromium history.

Any guidance will be welcome.

Best regards,

Hi folks, I am new here. I wonder if someone could help me solve a new problem which may or may not have anything to do with Firefox itself. Let me explain: a month ago or so, I was running Firefox, and my HP laptop, 64-bit, running Win11, told me I needed to run a new update from Microsoft for my Windows. I forgot that I was running Firefox, and started the update. I live on the West coast of Florida, where there is a lot of lightning... So, right in the middle of the Windows update, lightning took out cable and internet, stopping (interrupting) the update download. The whole neighborhood was affected. Later, when internet service was restored, I re-started the Windows update. Now here's the weird thing: every minute or so, no matter what is or is not running, even before I log into my desktop with my PIN, all of a sudden an old image from a previous Firefox session, complete with tabs, pops up. It then cycles through more images, until I hit the enter button, or tap the pad, or hit escape, exiting the image. It even goes away temporarily if I move the cursor, so trying to X out does not work. A little later, it pops back up. I'm working on a novel, and it is frustrating, because this interruption derails my thought train, complete with caboose. Also, one of the images (static) is my bank page. This spooks me... Please help, someone -- anyone? Ahead of time, thank you!

Why can I not use a shortcut key to slow down or speed up speech. Some things are easy, and I want them to be read fast. Other things require some thought on hearing them, so slow down would be appropriate. And it is inconvenient to have to go inot the options for Read Aloud in order to do this. Besides which, when you go into options, you really don't know whether you have changed the speed the appropriate amount until you go back and listen to the text. As well, I listen to things in English and Spanish and need to switch speeds for these different languages."

Hello,

I would like Firefox to offer the same usability as Chrome when it comes to pinned tabs and session restoration.

In Chrome, I keep about five tabs pinned and always open. When I start Chrome, all my tabs are there, and it shows the last tab I was using. This is smart and logical because it lets me continue exactly where I left off.

Firefox, on the other hand, always jumps to a new tab on startup, even if I was working on a different pinned tab when I closed the browser.

I can’t even begin to explain how frustrating this is. I often work on multiple screens with multiple browser instances, and this behavior constantly interrupts my workflow. It’s so disruptive that I felt compelled to write this complaint.

Please fix this and allow Firefox to behave in a normal, logical way. Stop forcing a new tab to open every single time on startup, or at least give us a proper option to disable this and restore the session exactly as it was.

You’ve made it easy to import everything from Chrome, but without offering this same basic functionality, Firefox feels incomplete.

Thanks

regardless of changing the search to google- Yahoo keeps coming up as a default. it doesn't even show as an option for search. The article u send doesn't help. I keep changing the setting and chose google - it doesn't work - maybe i should just quitting using Firefox.

my old computer had the Last Pass icon (on the Firefox browser) on the tool bar all the time. I needed to sign in regularly but I can't figure out how to get it on my new computer, on the toolbar again.

Cookies and Site Data - How do I clear all except the few I want to keep, without having to go through the list and select manually each time. i.e. "Delete all except", every time I close Firefox?
