Hi!

Really weird issue I've noticed with my Firefox-based browsers.

Essentially, whenever I am within the "Save As" feature of my browser, I am unable to realistically do anything that requires the context menu (e.g. creating a folder, renaming). I can still do things, but each entry in the context menu has no text.

I am on Windows 11, and am using the most up-to-date verison of both Firefox-based browsers. I do have a lot of customisation software and/or registry changes, but this issue has started to show up after I've spent a while with these changes already implemented. I don't think it's the problem as I have tested without each of these, but I thought worth mentioning if anyone knows of any potential conflicts (and to clear up any confusion from the screenshots).

An example of the above that I thought would affect this is a registry fix to enable the "show more options" setting on the context menu to be selected by default whenever I right click (steps followed here: https://www.howtogeek.com/759449/how-to-get-full-context-menus-in-windows-11s-file-explorer/). I've just tested by reversing this change and issue persists, and like I mentioned issue did not occur previously when this fix had already been applied. I hope that's not redundant information, I'm just trying to give as much info as possible!

I typically use Floorp, but when I noticed this issue I have tried and verified that this issue also happens on regular old Firefox.

Other browsers I have installed and verified this issue is NOT present on:

  • Microsoft Edge
  • Chrome
  • Pale Moon

The issue only seems to happen on FireFox and Floorp.

I have attached some images of what it is meant to look like ("expected_context_menu.png") and what it looks like on FireFox based browsers ("real_context_menu01.png").

Initially I though the menu was just useless, but it does appear I can actually use this menu without text as normal. I tested this by using the second-from-bottom option, and then the top-most option that marks the option for "New Folder" on the working context menu. I was able to create a folder as expected doing this ("real_context_menu02.png" and "real_context_menu03.png"), which suggests that it's just an issue with the text displaying.

Anyone have any ideas? Of course, I can provide any info about the OS customisation steps I've taken if needed!

I'd appreciate any help!

I've never uploaded here before so in case the images don't show the image name, they are uploaded in the order: "real_context_menu01.png" "real_context_menu02.png" "real_context_menu03.png" "expected_context_menu.png"

The Firefox browser VPN option and toolbar button for Firefox 150 was originally showing up after a recent update (was not signed into the browser), but when I signed into the account as needed to activate VPN, the VPN toolbar button and options under security settings disappeared. I can't find the vpn button to add back under the 'customize toolbar setting' as suggested. And when I go under privacy and security settings, the VPN section is no longer there. How do I get the VPN options back? I tried signing out of Firefox and then back in. I tried disconnecting 'sync' from the computer and that didn't change anything either. I've updated the browser on all devices I'm signed into to 150.0.1. The VPN toolbar button or setting option does not show up on any device I am using. The only browser I initially saw the VPN options on was the browser that I wasn't initially signed into, and it disappeared after I signed into the browser with the account.

None of the suggestions at the following help page work to get the VPN options back in the browser settings, or toolbar: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox

Sometimes I need to open XML files on my PC or in a network folder. If I open the file in the first tab in Firefox, it displays a neat and formatted rendering that makes it easier to read. However, if I open yet another tab, it displays a sequential text file that's difficult to read. How can I apply the style of the first tab to all open tabs? I've attached explanatory images (I hope). The second image shows how I'd like the XML file to always be displayed, regardless of the tab's position. Firefox 149.0.2 on windows 11

Hello, I am facing a strange issue while using Firefox browser. When I try to play LetterBoxed NYT, the game sometimes gets stuck on the loading screen or loads very slowly. The same website works fine on other browsers like Chrome and also on Android devices, so I’m not sure if this is a browser compatibility issue or something related to caching, cookies, or browser settings.

I have already tried clearing cache, disabling extensions, and updating Firefox to the latest version, but the issue still appears occasionally. Could this be related to browser security settings, DNS resolution, or performance optimization? Please guide me on what settings I should check or change in Firefox to make this web game run smoothly.

Hello, I’m currently having an issue with Mozilla Firefox.

It says it’s impossible to "bookmark this page" either via the icon or the keyboard shortcut CTRL+D. Additionally, I can’t create folders to sort my existing bookmarks, and I can’t add a bookmark to the personal toolbar. It feels like everything is locked. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the browser, and I’ve removed all my extensions, but the problems persist.

Current Mozilla Firefox version: 146.0.1 (64-bit)

Good morning,

I'm using Firefox on Windows 11 (screen scaling set to 150%).

I'm having a problem with the very small font in the tab bar (bookmarks) at the top of the browser. The tab text is difficult to read, even though other interface elements are enlarged accordingly.

I've tried various solutions:

modifying the userChrome.css file

changing the settings in about (layout.css.devPixelsPerPx)

changing the system scaling

Unfortunately, these changes don't affect the tab text size – only the title bar or other elements change, not the tabs themselves.

Is there an official way to increase the tab font size (this doesn't mean enlarging the pages, but the browser interface)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have set Scale Setting of 125 or 150. I have sed the Slider to increase (or decrease) the TEXT size as required. Every time I power up, but particularly after Windows Updates are applied the text size on the ANY Toolbar feature drops back to 6pt at best. All other Icons on toolbar retain size settings. Any thoughts why and how to resolve this issue?

On firefox, when loading google maps all the labels (Streetnames, Shops Names etc.) appear for a second and then vanish again completely.

This has happened before, back then I've managed to make it work up to now by using an extension to disable WebGL on google maps, however recently the issue started up again.

I've tried: enabling/disabling webgl; clearing cache and cookies, Enabling/disabling hardware acceleration, updating the browser, restarting the browser, restarting the computer.

Title.

Keyboard focus properly defaults to the address bar for new normal windows, and new tabs both normal and private. It is ONLY in new private windows that the address bar does not auto-grab keyboard input.

The address bar is highlighted as though it SHOULD have input focus, but typing does nothing until I click in the address bar manually.

This is unfathomably annoying. I've tried fiddling with various settings in about:config, and I've tried running in troubleshoot mode to rule out extensions causing the issue. Also tried a fresh firefox profile and the issue persisted.
