I have a MV3 extension I created that has a popup and data that is stored in sessionstorage and extension storage.

When I use the extension in a private window it does not work because data does not persist between each time I open and close the popup.

This causes problems, for example you have I have to login each time I open the popup, instead of the auth status persisting. It works fine in a normal window though.

Is there anything I can do that allows data for an extension running in an inPrivate window to persist. (Maybe some additional manifest code / changing the browser config)

I've recently swapped to Firefox from Chrome and I've noticed a huge hindrance.

I use a chatroom website and when I swap to the tab and begin to type, the first letter is randomly eaten/won't be entered into the text field.

For instance I was typing the word "What" and the text field only displayed "hat". Or when typing "Either" only "ither" appeared.

I thought this may have been related to a hardware acceleration issue but both settings did not work. So I started to look at Hotkeys but none of them should be interfering.

Some others have stated they have this issue too and I've been unable to find any solution. Any help?

The latest update to Yahoo Mail now opens the program in the Trash folder. Need to change this to Inbox. When searching on the web it says to check "filters" yet I do not find filters in Firefox settings.

How do I change the default when opening Yahoo Mail?

AMD ReLive instant replay does not work if mozilla firefox is open in the background while playing a game. It works fine with Google Chrome running in the background, closing firefox "fixes" the issue.

When I search for something, the location bar no longer shows the address and the star to add bookmarks unless I click on a little globe. I installed a Firefox update not long ago but this has only just happened. I'd like to be able to just bookmark searches like I used to.

I don't know what you're doing but EVERYTIME I do an update lately, something goes wrong. Today after update, my STGs are affected and ALL ARE GONE. I do NOT believe this is their fault. And you put this dang auto Startpage when launching window, I did NOT ask for that. I am so pissed, how do I get them all back? I had things I was working on that were very important. What else did you add to FF that I don't know about? I don't want your updates anymore. You screwed me big time. And I don't want the extensions YOU think I should have: Google, eBay, Bing, etc. wasting my space. I'm not the only one either, seen lots of complaints.

HOW DO I GET THOSE TABS BACK??????

There was an error when downloading files with the browser, indicating that there was a problem with the file directory. The download failed, and changing the file directory was still ineffective. Then, it resulted in a situation where no web pages could be opened, as if the network was disconnected. After closing the browser and reopening it, it returned to normal, but the download still could not be used. This problem has existed since versions 115.24 and 115.25.

When I Hover over the Firefox Icon in my Taskbar, it shows a Thumbnail of the Windows I have open. If I have a bunch of windows it dispenses with the Thumbnails in favor of a Text based Description. I'd prefer it did that all the Time. I don't care much for the Thumbnails. Is there a Setting someplace that I can make Text the Default view ?

It appears that I have a zombie Firefox browser running because when I close the browser using the top right 'X' button, the Firefox processes are still running when I check Task Manager.

If I end the Firefox task and reopen Firefox the first attempt seems to be stuck crashing because there's no crash log, but I can see in the task manager there's a crashhelper. A second attempt opens just fine, but the issue with that is my previously opened browsers are gone even with the setting to reopen them is enabled.

I've tried reinstalling, disabling my extensions, and updating Java, but none of these resolve the issue.

What the title says. Firefox just isn't playing any sound whatsoever.

Troubleshooting:

• Volume mixer indicates that Firefox is using my speakers, along with all other apps. When playing a YouTube video, the green bar is not bouncing. However, all other programs that play sound do so successfully and their green bars are bouncing (see attachment).

• Other web browsers play sound successfully.

• Restarting Firefox and my computer did not help.

• Switching the default sound device and changing back did not help.

• Changing to headphones made no change.

• Tabs are not muted.

• Autoplay settings in about:preferences showed that audio and video were disabled, however changing this setting to allow video and audio, then restarting both Firefox and the computer did not fix the problem. I have no idea how that setting was even changed to begin with. O_o

• Started Firefox in troubleshooting mode; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in a different profile; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in private mode; still no sound.

• Tried ending the audiodg.exe process in task manager and restarted; still no sound.

• Double checked media.autoplay.blocking_policy, was set to 0.

• Double checked media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -- changed from true to false, restarted Firefox; still no sound.

• Disabled hardware acceleration; still no sound.

• Refreshed Firefox; still no sound.

• Complete uninstall, including the usage of BCUninstaller to uninstall "leftovers". Reinstalled. Still no sound.

I have Apollo installed on my computer and I've reached out to them before for similar issues, but the dev was insistent that Apollo does not cause sound issues. I'm somewhat sceptical, but they're not being helpful at all so I thought I'd ask here, and disclose usage of Apollo so that all bases are covered.

Thank you for your time.

I launch Firefox from a shortcut in the QuickLaunch bar. I need to double-click that to get a response. But then TWO instances of Firefox open, and I have to close one - which seems a waste of time and effort over and over and over. My system is x32Win10ProV22H2. How to get just one instance ?

I have a folder with many bookmarks in it, and when I want to open multiple links in the folder but not ALL of them, I have to keep opening the bookmarks folder after middle clicking each link 1 at a time. I can't open the entire folder - there are 100+ and say I want to open 10.

Is there a way to keep the bookmark folder open while I open each link in new tabs?

Thanks!

Greetings...

I have noticed in my Windows 10 Task Manager that Firefox has an excessive number of processes active when Firefox is started with only one empty tab. By excessive, I found eleven (11) Firefox processes today, and I have yet to even start using Firefox.

I have only a simple Theme enabled and no Extensions enabled in my Firefox. I have tried deselection of the "Use recommended performance settings" but this does not appear to help. Disablement of my Theme increased the number of Firefox processes.

Any idea how I can significantly reduce the number of Firefox processes that appear in my Task Manager when I use Firefox? I really prefer to use Firefox as my go-to web browser, but lately it has become troublesome at times.

Thank you in advance for your help with the above problem. Take care...

Recently, after the newest Windows 11 update, Twitch hasn't been loading correctly, the tab looks as if it finished loading, but the page gets stuck in endless loading, no other site has this problem, and it happens even opening links to Twitch channels directly. I've added and screenshot of the problem.

I'd love some help or at least know if this is a problem on Twitches end or not. Thanks.
