I am wondering if it is at all possible to adjust the settings when pulling a tab into a new window. For example, if I am running Firefox fullscreen I would like the tab that I pull to be opened in windowed form. I noticed that this is typically the case when using Chromium-based browsers, but noticed that on Firefox it stays in the format as the previous window. (if already windowed the pulled tab will also be windowed) is there a way to ensure that the pulled tab will always be windowed?

Good day.

My use case is the following. I use Firefox Developer Edition for developing websites. Usually the development happens on a certain part of the page. Most of the times it is not on the top of the page, so you have to scroll down to it.

Sometimes when the page is refreshed a jump to the top happens. So then I need to scroll down again. It takes a lot of time and concentration away if it happens dozens of times a day.

It often happens after I did some changes to the files on the page. It usually does not happen when I refresh the page a couple of times (when I purpously want to reproduce this problem).

I did try running Firefox in Safe mode, but it didn't help.

What can be done to fix this problem on my side? Is this a bug in Firefox itself?

1. Sites www.applevacations.com / www.cheapcaribbean.com fail to display a city.

2. in the ipfire firewall console, FF doesn't render graphs correctly.

I'm not sure when these broke.

FF 101.0 (64-bit).

Pictures are of FF vs Chrome chrome and MS Edge also work correctly. the 2 pics with more graphs are the same pages @ %50 size.

Hi,

Its about time you looked at your Mic cam Cam settings

I'm getting older, they should be set as on as Default, and switched to off if required

This is a massive issue to a great part of the community I don't use Firefox as I used to, as so many of my clients are also moving away, ( Gone to different platforms to Edge and Chrome) I'm sure this can be easily fixed.

When I login to the FAA AMCS application if there is a message to be read, clicking on the "View" button causes a pop up window to appear greyed out that disables Firefox browser? I should be able to click a button on the window that says "Confirm" to indicate I've seen the notice, but I have to actually close Firefox, login from a different browser to be able to click on that message in order to return to Firefox in order to login again to their site.

I just let FF update to v101.0, and now every picture or file I try to save fails. Nothing wrong with my connection, I can go to the same URL in Edge, Chrome, and save, but no longer in FF. The download shows, but has a retry symbol next to it, if selected it just fails again. I was literally just saving files before it update, and now every site fails to save.

1. If I enter a Bank card number and tick the "remember me" it does not remember it the next time I log in.

2. Also, my system had to be re-installed and before with my older version of W8.1 I had certain folders under my saved web pages. Now when I open Firefox and want a bookmarked page in one of those folders, it is no longer there. Only individual bookmarks.

3. Is there a Chat for firefox?

On my Windows 10 desktop, I have used www.bostonglobe.com for years with no problem. Firefox keeps me logged in and if, for any reason, am not, I click on the login link and Firefox fills in my login. Lately this does not work. I just updated Firefox and it still does not work. Bostonglobe.com loads but when I click on the login link all I get is a blank page. This works in Chrome and in Firefox on my Samsung tablet. I deleted all the bostonglobe cookies but this does not help. I have rebooted the computer and this does not help either. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to access a particular site - www.citizensbankonline.com. Prior to a few days ago, I was able to without issue but now I get an "access denied" error - see error message below. This appear to only happen on a particular computer; when I try same bookmark on a laptop, I am able to gain access. I am running an Apple Mac mini M1 - OS is Monterey (version 12.4 - just upgraded) - the problem happened PRIOR to the upgrade, too. I am running Firefox browser 101.0 (64 bit) - upgraded earlier today - problem exists on prior and current version. The laptop is a Macbook Air M1 running 12.4. I am able to access this site using a different web browser with the M1 Mac mini machine - used Chrome. I am able to access other banking and ecomm sites without issues. Have spoken to tech support staff with Citizens Bank; they suggested all the stnd trouble shooting techniques described above and below.

I have cleared the cache and cleared cookies related to this site - in Manage Data in preferences - sorted by recent access to show most current cookies and deleted them. Search list in Manage Data for older cookies from same site - found none. I have used the "Forget about this Site" option accessible from the History menu item. I have also cleared other site data from the "Clear History" option. I have disable some of the loaded extensions related to login issue (1password, etc..) I have disabled the default proxy and specified "no proxy". As I have gone through this list of trouble shooting techniques, have quit Firefox and relaunched.

What is "interesting" is that after clearing the cookies, I am able to access the home page of the site and can enter my username and password - either manually or using the auto fill feature of 1password. Upon clicking "enter", I then get the "access denied" error. I terminate that browser window and create a new window and either select the link from my bookmarks OR type in the link manually (have done both) and press <enter>. This time, I can not even get to the default homepage - getting "access denied" error at this point.

I have taken two screen shots of error message - below. The one with the URL ending with the "default.jsp" results from clearing cookies and getting to the home page (once), entering user name / pwd and trying to log in. The other results from the next time I access the site - the home page will not even load.

My guess is that I have a very specific corrupted file / configuration setting for this particular website that does not get cleared by any of the stnd trouble shooting methods.

Using new computer and Firefox settings synced from previous computer. Two major issues started when using the new computer: When opening links in new tab (manually by right-click link and chose option to open in new Tab) nothing happens. The URL appears in the tab address line but the web page doesn't load. Pressing enter doesn't fix it. Copying URL and opening new tab, and pasting URL, doesn't load the page either. This can occur when first open Firefox, or can be after some time.

The other issue is Gmail often showing "Not connected." and retrying. The computer is connected to the internet, and can access web pages in other windows in Firefox, or in Chrome. Google apps, such as Keep, also exhibit unable to connect to Google. Have to close Firefox to fix this and can often return shortly after signing into Gmail again.

Have tried disabling extensions and add-ons, resetting preferences and tab settings, clearing temp files and cookies, resetting Firefox, uninstalling Firefox and re-installing. All to no avail.

The previous computer doesn't have these issues.

As described above I'm now seeing section descriptions in a program app I've been using in my work successfully over the past two years. Now, all of a sudden, the section titles in the program are faded gray almost to white, which makes entering info (not to mention eye strain), really difficult. Just wondering if this might have been something that occurred with the last Firefox update.

I've tried adjusting the screen resolution but it makes no difference. See the screenshot with this message.
