Why does this happen? I was even logged in, and my tab groups are gone. Why??? Do I need to use a different browser? And Firefox has had trouble with some websites where the paying portion is not correct. However, if I go to a different browser (Chrome), the paying portion works correctly. I'm getting kinda tired of these weird things going on. Please don't offer a feature that doesn't work like grouping tabs.

Today: Can't access website. I think it is the ISP or the router. Reset the router. No luck. Tried a different device on the Wifi. Works fine. Tried a different browser. works fine. Shut down Firefox. I had 2 browser instances open with several windows in each. Could not restart firefox, as it did not close correctly. I closed the broken instance(s). opened FF again, only got one set of windows, not both sets. The other instance had a bunch of grouped windows, and the groups seem to be gone. I can recreate most of those, but had some windows with ongoing work and things I wanted to look at and now they are gone.

FF crashed when I tried to get some answer from ediblearrangements.com help.

There was an error when downloading files with the browser, indicating that there was a problem with the file directory. The download failed, and changing the file directory was still ineffective. Then, it resulted in a situation where no web pages could be opened, as if the network was disconnected. After closing the browser and reopening it, it returned to normal, but the download still could not be used. This problem has existed since versions 115.24 and 115.25.

I've recently swapped to Firefox from Chrome and I've noticed a huge hindrance.

I use a chatroom website and when I swap to the tab and begin to type, the first letter is randomly eaten/won't be entered into the text field.

For instance I was typing the word "What" and the text field only displayed "hat". Or when typing "Either" only "ither" appeared.

I thought this may have been related to a hardware acceleration issue but both settings did not work. So I started to look at Hotkeys but none of them should be interfering.

Some others have stated they have this issue too and I've been unable to find any solution. Any help?

I have a MV3 extension I created that has a popup and data that is stored in sessionstorage and extension storage.

When I use the extension in a private window it does not work because data does not persist between each time I open and close the popup.

This causes problems, for example you have I have to login each time I open the popup, instead of the auth status persisting. It works fine in a normal window though.

Is there anything I can do that allows data for an extension running in an inPrivate window to persist. (Maybe some additional manifest code / changing the browser config)

How can I open an ad on a one-time basis, as if there were an option when right-clicking?

Sometimes we search for something we want to buy. The ad is near the top of the search results and seems to be worth investigating.

But we can't open the ad. Our wonderful ad blocker is, like our guard dog, too zealous sometimes protecting us.

The answer I'm looking for is NOT to go into Settings, etc. That's swatting a fly with a sledge hammer.

This happens often. I start Firefox, and on the home page is a list of articles linked to several different publications. So I'm generally already on a mission, but I think "I'll come back to that article later", and I go off to do what I logged in to do. And when I get back to the article a few minutes or hours later, it's gone! There is a new set of articles. The articles have all refreshed, and the one I wanted to read is gone. So can I see back to what that was? Or some other way to retrieve that article I never got to read before it went away?

As the Subject line says, Firefox will act like it's working normally for a little bit but shortly after using it websites stop loading and no new websites can be accessed. Usually after about 10 minutes. Closing and reopening Firefox restarts the cycle. Works for a bit, then stops. Other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome work fine.

I've checked my Firewall, deleted and re-added Firefox, made sure it had both Public and Private Network access. Also tried using Firefox in Troubleshoot mode and tried resetting Firefox. Same behavior, made no difference.

I don't see any error messages when this happens. Tabs just spin and load indefinitely with nothing ever appearing in the window. Anyone have any ideas?

Just switched from PC to Mac and miss the Page Up, Page Down, Home and End buttons. Wondering if there's a Firefox addon or extension to add these functions to a Macbook. I've searched but not found anything. I know I can't be alone in wishing for this!

(I am aware of using "Fn" and the arrow keys on a Mac to do page up and page down, but they are opposite sides of the keyboard and require both hands to scroll by page.)
