Hi,

Firefox version: 139.0.4 (64-bit) OS: Windows 11

I have been having issues where Firefox tab will just crash out for no reason it appears and it happens at random times and once the tab start to crash, and I restore it, it will crash again and again. The only way tog et out of the loop is to restart Firefox.

I have tried: Refreshing/Reset, Clearing Cache and History removing all themes, disabling extensions, disabling my anti virus. Turning off hardware acceleration didn't make any different.

I currently have 2 extensions enabled: uBlock Origin 1.64.0 and Bitwarden Password Manager 2025.5.0

In the about:Crashes I have reported them all and they seem to have the same type of reasons in the Raw data/Minidump which are: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ

Any help as to what to try next?

My Windows PC laptop has stopped syncing bookmarks from my android phone, even though I set them up to sync with each other. The syncing suggestions under Firefox support for syncing do not match with the options on my laptop or android phone.

140.0.2 (64-bit) Windows MSIX package mozilla-MSIX-1.0 This one has access to ChatGPT, among other AI chatbots. The version above does not mention any AI products.

140.0.2 (64-bit) NO Mention of MSIX NO AI chatbots as far as I can find.

Each wants to be the default, and it doesn't cause a problem unless you try to open the not-default. Then you can either select the not-default to be the default, or NOT. Doesn't matter, as far as I can determine there is no loss of functionality whether default or not-default in either version.

However, it's a bit annoying to have two product with the same version number and different properties.

Notice, this looks like a problem that was solved earlier. But that solution involved installing V140.0.2, obviously that won't work for me.

I await your wisdom---

I have been using FireFox for very many years. I have used the Search Bar to search -- NOT the Address Bar -- for as long as it has been available.

But the Search Bar doesn't work anymore. I enter something and nothing happens. I have tried several different search engines. Google, DuckDuckGo, and Brave. Same results.

I am well-trained to use the Search Bar. It is completely instinctual. It is very jarring to find it not working and then have to try again using the Address Bar. Again and again.

Further, I absolutely HATE it when a Text Input Field is used to do different functions like this depending on what I enter.

Is this by design? I.e. are they getting rid of the Search Bar? Or is it a bug?

If it's not a bug, I don't get it. Why would Mozilla antagonize the few users they have left? Further, why would they waste the few resources they have left to do something like this?

The recent update has basically wiped out my Firefox information and set-up. I have a lot of critical links set-up in my new tab. It is imperative I get them all back please. This is terrible for me.

I have already done the about:profiles, made new profile, used the file named old Firefox files (dated 03-25-25) but end up with the same crap coming up. How is this possible?

PLEASE help.

Hi,

Occasionally i get weirdly washed out colors on videos, this seems to mostly happens on my jellyfin instance on high res content. It does not happens on other browser, and the issue is very inconsistent, sometimes disappearing after a reboot, or when refreshing firefox. Same with firefox safe mode sometimes it fixes the issue... and sometimes it doesnt. Disabling or enabling HDR doesnt fix the issue.

I use firefox 141.0b4 and RTX 5070 Ti with the latest driver. Any idea how to fix this? Attached are some screenshots showing the issue

hi, i need help with many visual accessibility items such as dark theme (it does not invert in many sites including this one "support", i need the text to be bolder across websites (not just zoom, and settings dont seem to be working across sites, such as gmail), need accessability shortcut and more. i really dont want to add extensions for every thing, is there a more universal mozilla accessability button/settings i am missing? looking forward to hearing from you. -- E

When following the instruction to sync bookmarks on Android phone it leads me to items that are not there. Open Firefox mobile on phone. Ok. Hit the 3 dots drop down. Ok. Choose sync and save. Not there? I click my email and it shows sync. I click that and it shows the last time I sync my phone. 0 minutes. Ok. It shows a QR code to scan from the Firefox app. It instructs to click ready to scan. That's not there either. If instructions lead you down paths that are not present, the instructions are useless. Anyone else having this experience? Thanks..........

Hi Please could someone help me re-order my firefox toolbars. Previously I managed to arrange them in the order I prefer, but an update seems to have destroyed the order again, and I can no longer find the web page which explained how to do it. reading from the top, I would like to see: • Title bar • Menu bar • Navigation toolbar • Bookmarks toolbar • Tabs toolbar • Web content area

Instead I have • Title bar • Menu bar • Tabs toolbar • Navigation toolbar • Bookmarks toolbar (I even seem to have lost this now and don't know how to get it back!) • Web content area Thanks for any help that can be provided. Brox

Hello,

I'm facing an issue where my microphone does not work in Google Meet when using Firefox, even though I’ve granted all necessary permissions. This problem is specific to Firefox, as the microphone works perfectly fine in Google Chrome.

I prefer using Firefox because of its convenient screenshot features, but this microphone issue has caused major inconvenience during important meetings.

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Be descriptive. Saying “playing video on YouTube is always choppy” will help us understand the issue better than saying “something is wrong” or “the app is broken”.
