Hi,

I have been using Mozilla for decades. In the last few weeks, the browser is constantly crashing. I heard there were some large scale denial of service attacts on Mozilla and I feel like I am seeing the effects. My browser is upto date so that isn't the issue. Is there anything I can do? If it doesn't get better soon I will have to switch to Chrome or worse :-( YUK! I love you guys and really hope there is a solution.

My screen is showing the page lengthwise instead of vertical. I do not know how to put it back. I don't know what I hit when I was sending a document to the printer. Can you explain how to fix it?

Yesterday, something went wrong in my Windows 11 desktop (I have a virus program installed). One of the casualties involved corrupting Firefox (it would not open). I reinstalled Firefox without removing the old version. Now I have a new installation but all my bookmarks and other data are missing. There is a folder on my desktop labelled as "Old Firefox data". It is possible to restore Firefox to a previous time (a day ago)? Thank you.

I have every about:config and settings option set to recommended to prevent autoplay videos. NONE work with yahoo. The vids will drop to the lower right hand corner but even if I click on the close window X they still pop open again. And again. And again. Is there a solution to this arrogant, self-centered behaviour by yahoo?

I am trying to move one tab from one window to another. It says I should be able to move it just by clicking on the tab and dragging it to the window I want to move it to. But, when I try this nothing happens, it won't move.

Want can I do to resolve this?

Thanks

"You will have to visit each link (i.e. click the bookmark) to make Firefox retrieve the favicon"

That the common advice. Never works for me. If it was actually going to work, wouldn't it be when you originally create the bookmark?.

Having these favicons saves time, makes you workflow easier. Am I correct that the problem is with the given website making it available?

I'm root on a bunch of Linux machines and I'd like to write and add addons to setup some security-related policies. Writing the addons is not a problem, the problem is how I can make sure that they're installed for all users on the machine and cannot be disabled.

This is Ubuntu, which currently distributes Firefox as snap, but if necessary, I can probably use more classical Debian packages instead.

Over the last month or so Firefox has been failing on my old mac OS10.15.7. I go to my mac in the morning and firefox just won't start. I try to rebuild but holding down the option key when starting the app does nothing. I restart, sometimes resetting PR. That has helped in the past but doesn't now. I have re-downloaded and re-installed. I have deleted the firefox folder in library App support. As soon as one thing works it happens again after a day. I don't know what the hell is going on but I don't like it. I have run anti-virus software and malwarebytes. They are not picking anything up.

I have another mac which uses up to date OS and that works fine.

Is it a case of using a specific older version of firefox? I have tried an older version from another boot drive (startup disk) using OS10.13 once and it also only worked for a day or so.

Recently I haven't been able to sign into Coinbase. When I first try to sign in I just get the spinning circle for a minute or two as seen in the first photo attachment. It then turns into the second image I have attached. It appears to have to do with "human" verification. I set Coinbase as an exception everywhere I can in the setting with no change. This is a recent issue as it only started in September so there a recent change with Firefox. I am able to sign into all other websites without any issue and can sign into Coinbase with every other browser so this is very specific and only applies to Coinbase on Firefox. Why I unable to sign in?

I'm really fed up with this new obligation to make updates to continue using the navigator or to see the web pages prohibited from access! It's stupid, safety or not.

Be interrupted in my activities; lose all my open tabs in private navigation; Having to reconnect with the MFA ...

Do you think I only have that to do ??? And in what name do you allow yourself to decide for me when to make the updates? Even deactivate this using "about: config" is automatically (and disrespectfully) changed in TRUE ... It looks like Microsoft act!

If this absurdity is not abandoned quickly, I uninstall this navigator and will never come back to it!

3 times in the last 24 hours my desktop computer has crashed when on Mozilla. I run Mozilla and Chrome at the same time, but this has never happened when on Chrome. But many things run better on Mozilla so use it frequently. There is no common site I've been on. Also, once restarted, sites that automatically logged in now require a password. And some sites I can no longer access. It's run worse since a recent automatic update by Mozilla. Ideas?

Malwarebytes keeps blocking Mozilla files that seem to originate from it's folder in my laptop as riskware. Is this something I should make exceptions for? Or is it riskware. I'm running Win 11

Hi,

I cannot seem to close a tab, usually the last one I opened, in my browser window. It remains at the upper left hand corner of the browser. Please note the tab in the attached image.

How do I close this window and prevent this behavior again?

Many thanks,

Lisa D

Why does hitting my Home button open another tab? It's irritating and unnecessary. How do I make it stop?

For that matter, Why can't I open a new tab with my home page already open? I want Duckduckgo. You are bullying me into a blank page or a Firefox page. I used to have a choice.

When is Firefox (across devices) going to bring "Tab Groups" in-built in 2025 as it is difficult to ditch Chrome esp., if it is related to work or research and similar tabs are opened up?

I have to rely on chrome and edge for same and both have not only brought it but improved it considerably. Also, chrome has not brought for mobile devices so grouping of tabs is more easy and simple but when I look at Firefox and Firefox based browsers, I see nothing of that thing present. The addon esp., Simple Tab Groups (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/) is unreliable (see reviews).

If Firefox want us to use their browser and as default, they should see why we are using Chrome and Edge (latter, having vertical tabs in-built, also).

I hope 2025 is a year Firefox learns of how to retain users across devices. Currently Firefox is more from 2005.

Browser Choice Alliance wont be helpful if browsers like Firefox dont see users and their reviews and posts and issues reported. "https://browserchoicealliance.org/"

3 years post and still no work, and Firefox wants us to use their browser over Chrome and Edge. Why? And how?
