About three days ago, the dropdown lists for various websites I use stopped populating unless I use the backspace. So, for instance, if I want to find "John", nothing happens if I just start to type it in. But if I type in "Jo" and then backspace, John pops up. (Perhaps important: Even though I have now deleted the "o", only John pops up, not names beginning with J but followed by a different letter.) Curiously, it seems like the first time each day that I go onto any given website, the dropdown does populate properly, but just that once. I checked Edge and Chrome, and the dropdowns work fine there, so it's definitely a Firefox problem. Any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Hello,

Recently Firefox tends to start autoplaying a YouTube video if I am on the tab.

Before it would not play the video if i am on the tab unless I physically press play.

It still works if I open a YouTube video in a tab that is not active, it will not autoplay, but as soon as I hover over and click on that tab it will start playing, however I do not want this to happen, I want it to pretty much always be autoplay blocked regardless if tab is active or not and I want to physically press play in order for it to start.

How to revert it to that state?

My block audio and video setting in firefox is already turned on, not sure what to do, pretty sure I did nothing on my end.

Right now I have to use extension called "disable autoplay" just to get by.

Thanks guys!

I could not find a link for asking a question on Thunderbird. I just updated Thunderbird. And I was looking around and changing a few things to see how they look and I have lost the "buttons" to bring it back to the original set up. I was looking to see if there was some form a reset button that would take me back t just after install. I am really not liking what I have changed and I want to go back. Plus, is there a way to move the location of the garbage can, more like the older versions. The garbage can is my best friend. Thanking you in advance, K

wondered if anyonme can help.

Firefox keeps automatically changing my search engine from google, to bing. My defualt engine is goole, i have deleted bing, but everytime i type anything in the search bar, it goes to google, and then quickly changes to bing. I cant even copy and paste a google search from chrome, as it just changed that to bing too!!

I have tried everything and nothing works.... i hate bing and do not want to use it, so why is firefox forcing me too?? PLEASE HELP!!

Good Morning,

I am curious. When searching through backup in the bookmark section. Firefox keeps a list of backups in Crtl+Shift O.

In the restore file, under restore and backup, it shows ( 959 bytes - 11 items).

The 11 items what are those exactly?

When deleting browser history, nothing in the number changes. I am just wanting to make sure that the 11 items are in fact "Book Mark" related and not browser history related. My partner is accusing me of deleting "Items" or clearing my browser history. Since she can't see 11 items in there she assumes I deleted things or used a private browser...

For Windows version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 If using Firefox Version 113.0.1 (64-bit) in Windows 10 and in the following state:

 Firefox is open and window is maximized.
 Firefox Full Screen is toggled OFF.
 Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled ON.

Then the Windows taskbar will not display when the cursor is place at the bottom of the monitor screen. If the Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled OFF. Then the Windows taskbar will also not display. Changing the ON/OFF state of any other Windows taskbar display setting in any combination does not fix the failure.

I have screenshots of the error I receive when logged into the website. The support staff from LawofSelfDefense.com says everything on their side says I should be receiving audio and video. I have checked DuckDuckGo privacy settings and they indicate that their product is not blocking anything from the website.

I used MS Edge this morning to stream a live episode and it works! I do not want to access these streams using any MS products/software. Something in Firefox is preventing me from Live video and Chat activity on the site. What can I send you to help me fix this problem?

Good afternoon. For the last day or so my Firefox has been running slower than normal. It takes longer to load my home page than normal, for one example. Actually it takes a little longer than it had to load most web pages. I tried opening the same pages on Edge to make sure it is not just an internet issue and Edge works fine.

I am also having an issue with settings. When I open settings, privacy, and navigate to saved logins before when the list would automatically populate it now takes almost 12 seconds to load all my logins.

I did try to run the browser in troubleshoot mode and the behavior did not change.

I am running Firefox 118.0.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
