Every time the browser autofills a password it asks me for my Windows password. I don't want this behavior, as this makes password autofill completely pointless. How do I disable this "feature"?

Hi,

I have tried to sync between my two computers, but it did not work out well:

e.g when I click on ‘show more bookmarks (>>)’ on the right side of the screen (next to Other Bookmarks) I get - Firefox is not responding and I have to click on

-> Close the program.

If I click on -> Wait for the program to respond - Firefox never responds! And before I click on -> Close the Program - my keyboard input is totally erratic!

This occurs on both computers! - what can I do…..

I have therefor on the computer I want to be on the receiving end:

- deleted: History, Downloads and Tags and All Bookmarks - Cleared browsing data and cookies - Closed all open tabs

And now I am Signed in with Syncing; ON - on both computers again.

But I have not checked any of the check-boxes in ‘Manage sync…’ - ‘Manage what syncs on all your connected devices’ i.e. Bookmarks, Passwords, settings, History, Payment methods, Open tabs, Add-ons

Why is there no check-box tag groups!

What do I have to do on my SOURCE compute and on the DESTINATION computer for - a one way sync of everything?

Best regards, Einar

PS,

After Signing in I was presented with the following, and I chose Not Now

Sync your Firefox experience View your saved passwords, tabs, browsing history and more — across all your devices. Select an option to continue:

- I already have Firefox for mobile Start your sync now if you already have Firefox on your mobile device. 

- I don’t have Firefox for mobile Download Firefox on your mobile device, then start your sync.

Not now

I'm using Firefox-bin on Gentoo, wayland, and for a long time with all updates on my main firefox profile smooth scrolling can not be disabled: Both UI settings called "Use smooth scrolling" and manually setting general.smoothScroll on false - does nothing. Setting general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel on false actually disables smooth scrolling for mouse wheel, but smooth scrolling still happens on keyboard scrolling (holding up or down arrows).

On same browser I have two different profiles: On one of them smooth scrolling were disabled long ago On another one I successfully disabled smooth scrolling this day (it's some default one that I haven't used)

There are no extensions that could override this and I tried disabling them and rebooting and trying again too. I haven't touched any other scrolling relating options except enabled "autoscroll" and tried disabling apz.gtk.kinetic_scroll.enabled but it made no difference.

I found only few entries that describes same thing from long ago but they seem to not be applicable to this one. This bug is only mildly annoying because I rarely use keyboard scrolling and general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel = false already solved half of issue but I'm worried a little if something is wrong

I have not changed any settings related to fonts in firefox (running on windows 10 desktop), but I have this issue where flag emojis are displayed as a letter code on the page itself, but still display correctly in the tab at the top. is there a known fix for this?

I would like to know what happened to all of my bookmarks I had when I opened my firefox, nothing is there and I can't seem to find out how to restore them.. what ever you have done to firefox, mozilla I hate to say I don't like it at all.. thanks

Hello,

I recently updated my Firefox browser to the latest version, 138.0.1 (64-bit), on Windows.

After the update, I noticed that when playing videos in fullscreen mode (for example, on YouTube or other video websites), the Windows taskbar (the bar at the bottom of the screen with the Start menu icon) does not hide automatically. This is affecting my fullscreen viewing experience.

Before updating to version 138.0.1, the Windows taskbar would hide correctly when entering fullscreen video.

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue with the Windows taskbar not hiding, or if there are any suggested solutions to help resolve this problem.

Thank you for your help!

I would be grateful for some information on container behavior, i.e. I created "permanent" (as opposed to temporary) containers for sites where I want that site's cookies & site data preserved in a container, so I can click "Clear Cookies/History" (or "Clear... when Firefox closes) and the items stored in PERMANENT containers are left alone, while all else is deleted. "Clear ...." doesn't appear to be respecting the permanent containers I have set up precisely to preserve these sites' cookies & data.

I'm not sure what the point of Permanent Containers is, if not to preserve those sites' data, for the sites' later use when you set Firefox to Clear Cookies and Site Data whenever Firefox Closes (or Clear Cookies & Site Data with one click). I expected it to respect data in Permanent containers, as exceptions. Else why not just use separate Temporary Containers for everything? Why bother with Permanent Containers if everything is going to be deleted when Firefox closes, whether it's marked "Permanent" or not? Is there a solution for this? Thanks, -AnneF

Today (06/12/2025) upon opening a new tab, Firefox slid the new option of uploading a custom picture to apply to the background. Tried the new feature, now I can not find the setting that allows me to change the picture. I read the thread "Customize your wallpapers". The instructions are as follows; You can personalize your Firefox New Tab page by adding one of the available wallpapers. Follow these steps:

  1. In the right corner of the New Tab page, click the gear IG settings icon.
  2. In the customization panel, under the Wallpapers section, you will see different categories like Solid colors, Abstract and Photographs.

       Click the category you prefer. For example, selecting Abstract will show a variety of abstract designs. 

The problem I have is the customization panel is no where to be seen, I have click on EVERYTHING possible, it is not in my settings, why? How do find this?

Hello dear helpers, When I click on a webpage link (or right-click a link to open a tab in a container), Firefox repeatedly opens the same tab all across the tab line; maybe 20 or more of the same tab. I would be grateful for help if anyone knows how to solve this. Thanks, -AnneF

I downloaded the most recent Firefox update (version 139.0.4) and since then, Firefox has been prompting me to restart to continue using Firefox every day. When I give the go ahead to restart, I get a pop up that says I need to either exit the Firefox client completely, or create a new profile to continue using it because Firefox detects an older version (this is even after updating it manually).

It's made about 5 profiles since the 10th, and they're all still in tact. I clicked my very first one and it very much still works (and even gives me a popup when I open it in a new window that says Firefox is using the latest version). It's been really disruptive to my work flow as it has happened several times in the last two days. I keep checking my settings and it says that I'm updated to the latest version of Firefox, but it continues to kick me out.

When I use non-incognito browser to go to https://www.truist.com and enter a login and password that is valid I receive a JASON response message window that says {"type":"about:blank","title":"Bad Request","status":400,"detail":"Failed to convert 'userIdEncrypted' with value: ","instance":"/dias/authenticate"} If I use a new private window I can login normally. Others have said the same thing but the suggested remedies do not work. I have delete all cach, cookies, and site data associated with the truist.com domain and the same problem happens. If I use Edge all works well with the truist.com site. Where does this useridEncrypted come from? Anyway, I thought I would try to clear out the userid which was prefilled in with the help of Firefox and just retype my id. Viola, everything worked. So wherever Firefox is retrieving the saved login id from, that must be corrupted somehow. Hope this will help somebody that is experiencing this problem.
