I'm unsure if this is the right place to be asking this as I'm new to the Mozilla forums, but I've noticed an issue with how text aligns when printing in the latest version of Firefox (148.0), specifically I'm using the 64-bit installation on Windows - I cannot confirm whether or not this issue can be replicated on other environments as I do not use them.

I noticed this issue when trying to print an order summary from Shopify - both in preview, physically printed sheets, and PDFs, the shipping/billing addresses had their lines 'smushed' together, rendering them illegible.

Was there a tweak in the latest update affecting how Firefox handles text, specifically in regards to its alignment, when printing from a webpage?

At first I thought this was a Shopify issue (as is the case more often than not), but after trying this out on different browsers (namely Chrome and Safari - boo), I could not replicate the issue.

I would share screenshots of how the issue presents, however I cannot do this without being in breach of GDPR and I do not want to share customers' sensitive information.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance! :)

My Windows 11 computer crashed recently. Before restoring windows I was able to backup some data files. I thought that I had a Firefox backup, as I recorded a folder called “Old Firefox Data” It contained a Folder called “2eguguhi.default-release” of size 751 MB. It in turn contained 7,708 Files, & 2,269 Folders. When I re-started Firefox on my “fixed” Windows 11, It was a virgin with no History & no Bookmarks; my old configuration was lost. I tried to follow the advice Fro Mozilla Help But to no avail. It was not able to detect or recognise the Folder in “Old Firefox Data”

Am I Lost or can someone Help please.

在 Firefox 内部：

通过 JS 触发的新页面 通过 a.click 触发的新页面 甚至 rel=noopener 都会被标记为：

“related browsing context”

进而共享同一个进程，新页签因为内存占用过高，导致旧页签卡死。

通过设置

1. 添加 COOP 响应头 add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always;也无法解决

设置空白页再重定向也无法解决

In Firefox 148.0, I am encountering an issue related to input‑focus behavior on the default New Tab Page. I would like to confirm whether this behavior is now hardcoded or whether any configuration options remain available to modify it.

Issue description

When opening a new tab, Firefox displays a search box in the center of the page. In previous versions, this search box could function as a true input field. However, in Firefox 148.0, any attempt to type into this field results in the input focus being immediately transferred to the address bar (Awesome Bar). As a result, the central search box no longer accepts direct input and appears to function only as a visual entry point.

Configuration options already tested

Based on documentation and community discussions for earlier Firefox versions, I attempted to locate and modify the following about:config preferences:

• browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar
• browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar2

Neither preference exists in Firefox 148.0. I also reviewed other Activity Stream and URL bar–related preferences but did not find any that influence this focus‑handoff behavior.

Current observations

Testing suggests that Firefox 148.0 may have removed the internal toggles that previously controlled this behavior. The focus handoff from the New Tab Page search box to the address bar appears to be enforced at the application level, with no remaining user‑configurable switches exposed through about:config.

Questions for clarification

1. 1 Has the focus‑handoff mechanism for the New Tab Page been fully hardcoded in Firefox 148.0, making it no longer configurable through about:config?

1. 2 Is there a new or undocumented preference that restores the ability for the New Tab Page search box to receive input directly?

1. 3 Are there design documents, Bugzilla tickets, or release notes that describe the removal of the previous handoff preferences?

1. 4 If this behavior is now intentional and no longer user‑configurable, is using an extension (e.g., New Tab Override) the only remaining method to prevent focus from being redirected to the address bar?

Any technical insight or references from developers or community members would be greatly appreciated.

When firefox releases an update I find out when I try to use my browser for something. Im on the fly paying a bill and I want to get it done but oh its firefox update time and I dont have an instant choice stop that. I have first tell my security system that I dont want to make changes to my software at this moment I wanbt to use the browser for something important to Me. But still firefox wont let me. I have to wait till it processes my denial then comes the irritatin popup about download or dismiss and I have to respond to that wasting more critial moments for me then after a few more precious to me moments firfox will open and let me use it. This irritates the hell out of me and the worst part is if I dont waste more of my time performing the update when firefox chooses it will shanghai my browser all over again every time until I update. The worst thing is sometimes updates comie in rapid succession. Major irritation. How do I stop this? whats the work around here? I want to up date when it suits me not when it suit firefox.

I have downloaded downloaded language packs English UK and French France, but when I spell check in Mozilla the only option in the open menu for language there is only English US to use even though the other two preferred languages have been downloaded. Am I missing a trick to activate the languages so that they show in my language menu when spell checking?

Very frustrating that I only have a default of US considering I am in France and use French and UK English.

When copying and pasting from one application to another, by using Ctrl + Shift + V to paste without format to Google Docs, I keep getting a "Paste" pop up that I've never gotten until now. It keeps getting in the way and I don't see a way to remove it.

It's making copying and pasting very difficult and is driving me up the wall.

Firefox crashes whenever it would need access to my camera or microphone. So far it has only happened whn trying to access a Roll20 game with camera and microphone connectivity, and when trying to access a video appointment for Universal Credit. It never happened on Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 it happens every time without fail, and the crash is immediate.

Last time the Fire Fox updates I noticed a weird change with the browser's behavior. the browser keeps crashing just anywhere I go! I keep losing my tabs and got kicked out of the browser losing the webpages where I was! Please fix this problem and for now at the moment I would be ok if I could go back to the last old version before that happen? I appreciate your help guys!

These icons appeared recently in my Firefox browser I can't remove them. The only recent changes included uninstalling SuperAntiSpyware after finding that Microsoft PC Manager is a better option, which has performed excellently without issues.

Additionally, a free VPN (Proton) was briefly used from the Firefox browser without installation, but after finding it complicated to set up, it was deleted. A few hours later, I noticed the two icons as the windows were misbehaving and they are causing a slowdown in the PC's performance. They do not seem to be add-ons or extensions.

How do I remove the icons and return to the previous performance?

I have just had to replace my PC following a bit of a disaster with my old one. The new PC has Windows 11. As usual I downloaded Firefox as I always use this. Somewhere in the installation of Firefox I must have been asked about blocking ads, but I don't remember. Now all ads are blocked, which I don't mind, but some sites are asking me to disable my ad-blocker if I want to use their site. Mostly I don't but there is one I need to use, so I would like to add that site as an exception, but I cannot find any mention of any ad-blocker in settings. Where do I find this? and how do I add exceptions?

The only add-on that I have in Firefox is the 'Privacy Badger' which could be the problem I suppose, but I can't see the website listed in the ones Privacy Badger is blocking.

Any help would be appreciated

My wife's old Windows 10 HP laptop quit working last week do to some Operating System failure while it was trying to do an update. It finally did a reboot and now it is useless, at least as it is! It will NOT complete the boot process after trying all of the options offered. All that I am able to is exit out of Windows to a "DOS prompt." I am able to get to the Mozilla Firefox folder and others contain within. The new Windows 11 laptop I bought her is working fine with a fresh Firefox browser installed about a week ago. What she wants is her web links, settings and saved passwords "copied" from the old laptop and installed on the new one! We have no idea how many there are to retrieve! I'm hoping that there might only be one folder that I can copy via "command line" prompt to a USB drive and move the file(s) to the new laptop the same way. Can anyone tell me what I need to know? Thanks in advance! Tim O.

I don't have access to the primary email to do anything. I do have the secondary email entered but it's asking for a code from the primary email to change it, like I mentioned we don't have access to. Is there any help for this. Hate to lose what we have.

When using Firefox to access certain sites on this laptop such as Marriott.com, United.com, AA.com and Spirit.com, after I login and start a search I get an Access Denied message. However, when using Firefox on another laptop I am able to d a search for a reservation on these sites. This leads me to believe a setting on this specific machine has been changed and I do not know how to correct the situation.

Access to the above sites works without any issues on Chrome or Edge.
