Firefox 150.0.1 Ubuntu 22.04

Problem: When downloading a file from a web page, the list of files and folders in the Download Panel are sorted such that file names and folder names are intermingled, rather than the "standard" folders first, then files.

Discussion: This problem has been happening for a bit now (probably 2 - 3 months or more). Unfortunately, I don't recall exactly which version of Firefox this originally showed up in. At some point recently, the default sort for the Download Panel changed, so that instead of listing folders at the top of the list of download targets, then listing files, now all items are interspersed. For example, previously selecting to download a file from a web page would give the Download Panel contents as:

AFolder BFolder CFolder AFile.txt BFile.pdf CFile.jpg

Now, the list presents as:

AFile.txt AFolder BFile.pdf BFolder CFile.jpb CFolder

I would like to go back to the previous sorting behavior, but I cannot find a way to do this. I have searched the Mozilla help articles without turning up relevant information, and I have searched the internet for web sites that might list relevant information, but either the information I am seeking is not out there (unlikely) or I am not coming up with search terms that locate the information (much more likely).

I am not even 100% sure that this is a Firefox problem (it is within the bounds of possibility that it is an OS problem), but none of my other regularly used programs show the symptom, so it would seem odd to me for it to be something other than a Firefox problem.

I would appreciate any pointers (web pages, help articles, or even just "change this in about:config) on how to resolve this.

When I enable the firefox built-in vpn I have an error: "The proxy server is not found

Firefox cannot connect to the server at accounts.firefox.com What can you do?

Try to connect to another device. Check your modem or router. Log out and reconnect to Wi-Fi."

Thanks.

i've seen this before, in different older machines, but i can't remember the remedy. possibly a mouse-screen problem. it started with 150 i think...

Also in youtube, a gray layer covers the selections rendering mouse clicks impossible. clcking the logo, page reloads, but soon the layer covers most of the page. resetting graphics had no result.

thanks

i'm using mf 150

There are urls saved in my firefox which are not listed under "Manage Bookmarks". At least one is my own bookmark i already deleted. All others seem to be basically advertisement. Urls i never visited and don`t want suggested to me. I do not use a firefox account and my settings are set to only suggest my bookmarks in the url bar. How to remove this Garbage?

FF for Linux Mint mint-001 1.0 FF closes in just a couple of minutes, even with one open tab and nothing clicked or typed. FF crashes even in "Troublshooting Mode". "about.crashes" lists no crash reports Using Task Monitor to view system vitals, I discovered that while CPU usage by FF is very low, memory usage rises linearly over a couple of minutes. System memory available is 31.0 Gb. When FF usage reaches 30.7 Gb, FF crashes. No other browser or program has issues.

How to sort Tab Groups alphabetically in the Add Tab to Group Menu?

I want to add tabs to groups bit the groups are changing their position and it would be very helpful to (optionally) have the freedom to sort Tab Groups to appear alphabetically in that menu!

But that should NOT affect the sorting order in the browser window!

But of course it also would be helpful to have the freedom to also sort the tab groups order in the main windows, but please make it a different sort order than in the Add to Tab Group menu dropdown.

Thanks!

That tab grouping "feature" really is too much like modern software developers' tendency to roll out a new "feature" and turn it on automatically no matter how annoying some users may find it. Some times when a mouse cursor goes too far and wanders into that tab zone, Firefox starts grouping tabs. Please allow us to turn the thing off.

I use the current version of Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux. When I scroll down past the individual bookmarks at the end of the menu, the folder names start repeating, along with the bookmarks inside them. I have three or four sets of bookmarks and would like to have only one. How can I delete all the bookmark folders below a certain point? By the way, when I install a new, different version of the operating system and sign in Sync restores all the bookmarks.

It seems that a few days ago my Firefox was (involuntarily) updated in the course of another update (Linux): Previously, after Ctrl-S I could immediately start editing the name of the downloaded .html file, usually replacing it: the .html was retained, but the main part was highlighted and replaced automatically with the first typed character. Now one has to highlight the name with "select all" and also take care of the .html suffix. This is highly inconvenient if one wants to change the (usually) much too long names. Is there a chance (option?) to get the old behaviour back? (By the way, not connected with this change: It is annoying that Firefox silently changes `:` to `_´ in desired names though these are perfectly legal in Linux.) (and I would like to be able to use Firefox save to command from the command line.

The latest version of Firefox 150.0.1 (64 bit) does not work correctly for Twitch.tv and Canadiantire.ca. I can't login to either. Is anyone else having similar problems?

I was getting popping in audio both in Smplayer & videos on other sites. I discovered the problem went away completely when I closed the X tab. When it was open, I noticed another glitch. I keep a small video windows to keep track of my sleep time. The elapsed time is displayed on them. Only when X was open it was throwing it off by about 3 seconds a minute. I closed it in Firefox & signed onto X on Chrome & all these problems went away. This is the only web site that has ever done anything like this. What is Firefox's problem with X?
