Firefox Community Forum

Running a Dell computer w/ Windows 11. More & more web pages do not load properly in Firefox v. 158.0.1. I am updating to v 159.0, now.

Is there anything I can do to retain the functionality of Firefox, when accessing these new web pages?

I've used Firefox since the beta version & prefer it. However, because more web sites no longer load correctly, I will have to change my browser, perhaps to the DuckDuckGo browser. I detest Bing & refuse to use it. Chrome is rapidly following Bing into that category.

HELP!!

Thanks.

I thought this was for the active site, but, from my experience, after being logged out of other sites, does it actually clear for all tabs? Why do they make this so ambiguous?

Is there a simple way to get this done, for the active site only, without adding an extension?

I've run into an issue on macOS where Firefox does not restore my previous session if I close the browser using the red "X" window button. I have the "Open previous windows and tabs" checked in settings.

• Scenario A: If I click the red "X" button to close the Firefox window and then reopen Firefox, my previous tabs are gone (except for pinned tabs) and a new session is started.

• Scenario B: If I use Cmd + Q (or Firefox > Quit) to close the application, my session restores perfectly upon the next launch.

It seems that closing the window updates the session state to an empty window, wiping out the saved session even though the application process is still running in the macOS dock.

Is there a way to configure Firefox on macOS so that closing the last window via the red "X" preserves the session tabs just like Quitting does?

Login woes, due to having only access to internet via cell signal, have now become outright login blocks, now that the firefox 10/2026 update does not allow for permanent site permissions setting. As a very senior elder, I do need the larger computer screen to see what I am doing online, which is a minefield these days. I get my internet from Xfinity monthly signal data passes, to a platform build far above my cabin where I found the signal with the FCC signal app. I do not have the $20,000 to extend cable, plus the electric power is out half the year anyway, when you pay huge fees for for cable, but but the cable is dead also.

I welcome any suggestion on how to stay connected without an IP address of a personal modem, using SIM dongles or signal passes.

Measures I have had to take in 2026: I had to stop shutting down my computer, so W11 updates don't log me out of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. in a way I cannot get back in without a week or more of hasseling with support with each media mogul to let me log back on with my remembered by FF email and password. Google is the worst, because to receive G verification, you have to be still logged in to Google to receive G verification, where as MS at least allows me to use Tuta.com. But phone verification is the worst. I can take 24hrs to arrive, if it does at all.

Now that Firefox has made it impossible to make Site Permission stick, I will stop updating FF too. Because some data needs to stick around to be able to log in. I can't even upload my phone snapshots to my computer without the IP ID.

Again, I welcome all constructive advice.

Firefox has decided to open twice instead of once. The version with the preset tabs is not opening automatically. Instead, the version I don't want is opening. I cannot figure out how to get rid of the version I don't want.

As I am trying to make my browsing faster by minimizing the use of the mouse, I have come across an issue: if I search among all tabs on Firefox for Mac, either by "shift + command + A" or by adding a percent sign to the address / search bar, selecting a tab that is within a collapsed tab group deleted the tab group in question in this keyboard-based manner of execution. This issue leads to the unnecessary need to recreate the tab group. I have verified the issue at least with a collapsed tab group containing a single tab.

Normally when I'm using Firefox I can type just "t" in the address bar to give me a full link to Twitter and I just press enter to go to it. After the most recent update, that no longer seems to work? Instead it is just giving me the suggestions of whatever I typed before with a google search option.

So the situation is basically this: Firefox 159.0 (64-bit), Windows. Address-bar URL autofill stopped after updating. browser.urlbar.autoFill is true. Browsing history and bookmark suggestions are enabled. Existing bookmarks and history remain accessible. Typing a bookmarked domain such as "twitch" produces search suggestions instead of the bookmark https://www.twitch.tv/directory/following

Any help?

Hello,

The built-in VPN in Firefox was working correctly before the update to version 158.0.1. After updating, it stopped connecting and displays this error: “Couldn't connect to VPN. Try again in a few minutes.” The same error occurs in a private window. Troubleshooting already performed: DNS over HTTPS is off. Remote improvements are enabled. browser.ipProtection.enabled is set to true. network.proxy.type is set to 5. about:policies reports that the Enterprise Policies service is inactive.

Could this be a regression in Firefox 158.0.1? Please advise how to restore the built-in VPN. Thank you.

I have been using Firefox for many years and have been very pleased with this as my first option for a browser; however with the recent upgrade at the Bank of America site, I can no longer use my password manager on the BoA site. The extension has been uninstalled and reinstalled, yet the password manager, Dashlane, autofill will not work on Firefox. I have tried two other browsers, Chrome and Edge and both sites work effectively with Dashlane. Any suggestions on what options there might be to have Firefox functional again. I tried changing the Enhanced Tracking Protection to off and that does not work either and it auto defaults back to on, when I log off. Thanks

how to make the scrollbar thicker (as you can see on the attachment)? I can hardly click it with my mouse.

I did try out many things (new profile, chromcss etc.) and it didnt work. Please answer if you know how to do it under Linux, xfce. Thank you.

Is this for the active site only? It's a bit ambiguous. When i use it, is it just coincidental that i have to re-log into other sites, as well as Mozilla?

Is there a simple way to do this without adding an extension?

3 Warnings in squares appearing in right lower corner of screen. I tried to provide a screen shot, but this chat box would not accept an image.

Please advise.

Firefox installation failed due to keylogger permissions or due to malicious software. windows 11, fully updated, Paid antivirus plus full scans run regularly. Please help.

I know it's possible but could it be a false positive? If real what can I do?

Thanks

I’ve noticed a strange problem in Firefox where some images on a website don’t always load the first time. The page itself loads normally, but occasionally a few product images are just blank. Refreshing the page usually makes them appear. I’ve been noticing this while working on a site I maintain, for example on some of the product pages here https://emcindustrial.com

What’s odd is that I can’t seem to reproduce it consistently. The same pages work normally in Chrome and Edge, and sometimes Firefox loads everything perfectly too. I’ve already tried clearing the cache and checking with extensions disabled, but I’m still seeing it occasionally.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause Firefox to load the page but fail to load individual images? Is there something specific I should check in the Network or Console tools when it happens? 1st image is what's showing on firefox, 2nd is how it should be ( showing on chrome)
