When opening the "Show all history" window (command Y) the text is garbled. I have checked the font book and there are no duplicated and I have validated all fonts. I have tried using the troubleshoot mode and occasionally the text is rendered correctly but mostly it has no effect. There is no other location in the browser where the text is garbled. I have tried changing the text in the advanced settings and both performance settings are disabled.

When using the built-in Firefox AI sidebar and clicking the "Summarize page" button, I consistently get the error: "431 Request Header Fields Too Large" from chatgpt.com.

Cookies were cleared multiple times Extensions (including AdGuard) were disabled The issue persists

Previously, changing a privacy setting temporarily helped: switching from "block all cross-site cookies" to "block cross-site tracking cookies and isolate other cross-site cookies". After that, the feature started working.

However, after restarting the browser today, the issue returned, and changing this setting no longer helps.

I would also like to note that currently there is no way to disable or hide the "Summarize page" button, even though I did not need it initially. I tried to configure things so it would work properly, but was unable to do so.

Steps to reproduce:

Open any webpage Open the Firefox AI sidebar Click "Summarize page" Observe error 431

Expected behavior: Page summary should be generated successfully.

Actual behavior: The request fails with HTTP 431 error.

I'm having problems with AOL ad blockers. The program says that I have ad blocker plus turned on in my Firefox extensions. I turned everything off in the exension menu and still have the same issue.

My user experience on Firefox is being severely impacted and is making me angry. I watch the updates calendar they are once a month. So why can i not go a whole week it seems with a necessary Firefox update to my browser that impacts the performance of websites. I like to have multiple tabs open over a week or more. I don't want to close and reopen my tabs every time I want to use my computer. SO WHY are there SO many updates. It's seriously making me want to uninstall your browser and I have been using Firefox on multiple devices for years. More than 20 years now. It's seriously ridiculous to have a major update every week or even every other week where I have to shut down and save my work on ALL of my tabs just to update Firefox. I have never remember history and I am going to uninstall and reinstall from even greater security because I have serious concerns about the amount of data that big tech companies share with 3rd Parties and the government. I am an honest American citizen and I HATE being surveilled and having my private life sold to the highest bidder. But even though. the safety of your browser is a positive feature it becomes very difficult to WANT to use Firefox when my workflow is CONSTANTLY interrupted.

Seriously, You JUST updated on the 23rd/24th and now just two weeks later there's already ANOTHER update. And who even knows when that one dropped. I only checked it because sites were acting up. And EVERY TIME a site acts up it's because of an update. You have interfered with my user experience with Youtube, and Multiple Streaming Services, and Multiple Chat bots. It's thoroughly dis-satisfactory and disruptive, and ANNOYING. I want a tool that protects me while I am on the web. I do NOT want a tool that ruins my internet experience every week.

Hi,

Microsoft and Google are part of Anthropic's Project Glasswing but Mozilla is not. I am concerned about Firefox security if Mozilla in not being included. What is your plan to participate? Do I need to switch browsers in the meantime? Please advise. Thanks.

Cheers

Hi folks, I restarted Firefox today on my Macbook and now the Restore Previous Session option is no longer working. I've tried the Sessionstore fix described here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup but it is not doing the trick. I've used it multiple times in the past and it has always worked up until now.

I've since opened a couple of new tabs and then shut Firefox down to see if the Restore Previous Session will bring those particular tabs back. However the Restore previous session remains greyed out. I suspect it may be to do with the latest update to 149.0.2. I downloaded and installed that two days ago, but only restarted this morning so I think the update would have been done then. Are there known issues with this update, and is a fix coming? Thank you, Shane

What are the step-to-step instructions in order to use Free VPN? (see attached image) I did a query on the web and it came back stating that Firefox VPN was not free. I am confused. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

Hello,

On my other machines I have Firefox with Perplexity as my Chatbot in the sidebar. Why is it no longer listed? (Anthropic, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Mistral only).

Can you help me with as I have a subscription with them and don't want to use their browser Comet as an alternative or simply their browser interface if possible.

Thanks

I wanted to try the new split screen feature. The guide says you need the latest version 149. When I check 'About Firefox' it says I have version 140.9 but it also says 'Firefox up-to-date'. Could you advise how I can update to latest version 149 please?

This is the message I get when trying to login to my Costco account: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).
