Firefox recently offered a choice of having open tabs appear in a sidebar on the left side. This is great but the tabs and sidebar stay visible when engaging the f11 full screen mode. This makes an awkward appearance when trying to view in full screen - such as movies or any other. The address bar at the top is hidden with f11, but the side tabs and their vertical side bar remain visible. I believe Firefox would be more desirable if the f11 key also hid the side bar. This is how Microsoft's Edge browser functions. Can't have a true full screen if the sidebar and tabs remain visible. The full screen functions works well if the sidebar function is turned off in settings but this makes it awkward for a user who wishes to use the sidebar tabs with a full screen mode. Thank you for considering this issue and thank you for your great products. Tom

Hi!

Yesterday, April 5, 2025, my Firefox started displaying this message for every search typed in the browser:

"Our systems have detected unusual traffic on your computer network. This page verifies that it is really you, and not a robot, sending the requests. Why did this happen?"

I tried a few solutions: I cleared the cache, restored Firefox, reinstalled Firefox, restarted the internet modem, reset the computer's DNS using the ipconfig/flushdns command, scanned for malware with Windows Defender, and scanned for viruses and malware with Kaspersky, but the problem persists, both in the normal tab and in the private tab.

I contacted my internet provider, and they said there is no problem on their side.

In Firefox, I always use the default search engine "Google".

When I change the search engine to "Bing", the problem does not occur.

The problem does not occur in the Google Chrome browser, only in Firefox.

I am using Firefox 115.22.0esr (64-bit), Windows 7 operating system and internet connection via network cable. I only have one computer connected and I don't use VPN.

Please, can you help me?

Thank you!

One page of Firefox 115.21 opened and Task manager memory usage for Firefox reports-:

1) 9,956 K 2) 46,288 K 3) 11,564 K 4) 55,268 K 5) 21,560 K 6) 9,996 K 7) 5,516 K 8) 302,924 K 9) 40,272 K

These are ALL marked Firefox and in order on my Task Manager, the Page 'opened' was Firefox help forum ,,,, some memory usage here, is this right????

Hello! I'm trying to download a quantity of audio files from a specific website. Once I open firefox, I can manage to download a few in that session - anywhere from 1 to 10 usually. Then, at some point, the downloads start to hang. They appear as how they do when they're loading - "Unknown time left - 0 bytes (0 bytes/sec)". However, they never load. The only solution is to restart Firefox, to be able to download a few more.

I'm on Linux mint, Firefox version 137.0.2 (64-bit). I tried running firefox through the terminal to see if anything would show up when the downloads stop working, and I got this:

[GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt [Child 47831, Main Thread] WARNING: Unable to open /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/dconf/profile/user: Permission denied: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:201

And a lot of "ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment." - but those seem to happen all the time during regular usage.

Any way I can go about troubleshooting this, or am I stuck with restarting Firefox every few files I need to download? Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

Have downloaded the Foxfire browser onto a new desktop and I've signed into my account. I need to see the bookmarks on the homepage as I did on the first desktop. I can see them all, and well organized, in the "backstage", when I click on manage bookmarks. Can you help me get them on the home page?

Please see enclosed screenshot, it happens when I set a video full screen. It doesn't happen all the time but randomly. The screenshot shows the video before it starts hence the black screen. Refreshing the page gets rid of it but I'd like to know what's causing it in the first place. Using latest Firefox 137.0.2, Windows 10.

Why without updating the browser I have a problem where the browser no longer shows the window with the suggested password

Why does your browser break without anyone's intervention, why does it stop showing the password insertion menu as before, and there is no way to fix it. Every time you screw up, I just have to reinstall the browser?

• Short version:

On our Church website, we can't get Firefox to display our Box.com, sermon archive embed with Firefox (all the other browsers we tried work). It worked until some of your more recent changes. We can't expect low tech members of our Church to be able to go beyond default settings.

• Detailed version:

While we appreciate the added security that Firefox provides, Firefox is becoming impossible to use for so many legitimate websites. For example: Mail.com does not allow logging in via Firefox. This is where we get our personal email service, we have to use Chrome to access our mail. Mail.com actually tells us mail.com will not work with Firefox by name when we try to log on. More importantly we run a Church website that has embed codes from Youtube.com and Box.com. We found a way to get Youtube embeds to work but we can't get Firefox to display our Box.com sermon archive embed with Firefox (all the other browsers we tried work). It worked until some of your more recent changes. This is the Box.com embed code in question: <iframe src="https://app.box.com/embed/s/rcrtr0fquc8eagwtqfxohfu3ltk1l5mu?sortColumn=date" width="500" height="400" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> We tried unsuccessfully in setting to make this embed work even though this is not really a solution. We can't expect low tech members of our Church to be able to go beyond default settings. All we can do is say, "Don't use Firefox to to access our archives."

Yet again I cant access the internet after an update. If I am lucky I may get the first tab connecting but any other tabs come back with "no internet connection". I am having to use duckduck to get this far. Yes I have checked firewalls etc. The simple answer would be to stop f**king around for something that used to work. Sp whats the solution? Get really annoyed and wait for things to suddenly start working like like last time???
