Well, I don't know why they think it's a good idea to open the history in a sidebar, but it is quite harmful since very valuable information is lost, such as the date and time that a certain activity was carried out. This is why I stopped using Microsoft Edge a few months ago and to my horror see that Firefox just did the same thing. Leave history alone!

Firefox updated a couple of weeks ago and for some reason the mail.com icon disappeared and I couldnt open it. I turned off the app and then resatored it and the icon is back but it has a little cross on it and wont open my e mails automatically ,I have to sign in every time and it dousent show a no when I have new e mails. It was fine before the update.How do I get it back? I only need the e mail notification not calender etc, I can see that when Im logged on. Hope you can asssist, Thank you, Geoff Andrews.

So you are in private mode for a search. Within the search hits, you find a link you want to visit, so you click on it. Will you remain in "private" mode while at the linked site? Or do you lose the "private" as soon as you leave the search window ... ???

As of a few days ago it seems that every time that I try to copy some text and then switch tabs Firefox will just completely lock up on me. This is happening on two different systems of mine.

Two months I posted about [[this problem|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] on Reddit where I close out of Reddit post drafts before hitting post and I can't recover them. I still have this problem and I accidentally closed out a tab last night. Fortunately on that post I got a [[suggestion|https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wzzgkm/comment/im7ibld/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3]] to use the [[Form History Control extension|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] which I tested and works well, but ideally I would like a way for Firefox to ask me before closing Reddit tabs (and other websites) with unsaved changes.

I just installed Firefox on a new computer and am having lots of issues w/set-up. I found the place in settings that lets you chose the home page and how new tabs are displayed, but the only options for new tabs seem to be Mozilla's default and blank page. For now I've set it to blank page but I'm trying to find a way that any new tab I open defaults to google. Thank you for your help.

I'm using Ubuntu Mate 22.04, Firefox 106.0.1 SNAP install. I setted to TRUE the option browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir , when I open a document from a web page like .docx or .xlsx I can see the window that ask me how to manage the file, if I choice to open it (not download), Firefox present the option "Open with System Handler (default)" but nothing happens. Please remember that if I download the file and double click it, Libreoffice is called and opens the file. If I select "Choose other" Firefox opens an empty list of apps. In settings I can't change the option "System default". How can I fix this?

I want to sort the Bookmarks dropdown list A to Z by name. When I click on Manage Bookmarks and then right click on All Bookmarks, then click on sort A to Z, nothing happens. The dropdown list is still mixed.

This green cursor does nothing, it just blinks, it's always there. I researched it, but while there were references to it, most replies misunderstood the issue. The cursor just sits there and blinks in the upper left. I only have a few add-ons, and all are recommended by Mozilla, no issues with them. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks.

Firefox keeps asking to sign-in for the past few months, which gets me irritated each time. Why my Google accounts for mail, sheets, docs etc getting logged out each time I switch off my PC? When I switch it back on and open Firefox to access my Google tools like mail, sheets and other stuff, it asks for a log in every time. I have to sign in to my workspace every single time and also for my wordpress dashboard. Why does not this browser save my credential and show the dashboard directly just like in Chrome?

I want to save my login credentials forever so that I can jump into my stuff directly!

Beginning today 10/20/22, you cannot block autoplay of audio or video on the nytimes website, using either the desktop or android version of Firefox.

With recent releases, I've started noticing that Firefox UI freezes seemingly randomly. When it does, the UI doesn't respond to interactions, and there's no visible change in the UI, either - for example, if I switch to a different tab after the UI froze, there's no visual sign of switch happening. However, if I were to alt-tab to another window, then then UI looks as if it had responded behind the scenes. I.e., the tab switch were somehow kept pending until at the point of alt-tab.

I've had this happened on two different machines, both running the latest version (106.0.1), but this was observed even with 105, I think.

FWIW, I'm on Linux; I've tried both with and without hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, I don't have consistent/sure reproducer; not have I observed any particular pattern of interaction that'd lead to this.

I was going to file a bug, but thought posting here before I do that.

Secure Connection Failed message when I try to go to known sites and when I access them in Chrome I have no issues I have already done the refresh and still have the issue. I doubt that this is an issue with the website I am trying to access. If you can't help me get this resolved it may be time to end my long time as a Firefox fan.

Hello All -

Is the current version of FFX compatible with macOS 13 Ventura? If Ventura breaks FFX then I don't want to do the OS update until FFX works.

TIA!!!
