Selecting "Help About Firefox" causes the window to appear but this window then freezes with no information. It is possible to close the window and continue with Firefox. This happen nearly always but occasionally works correctly. Current Firefox version is 146.0 but the problem is not limited this version. System is Kubuntu 24.04, KDE Plasma Version 5.27.12 and QT Version 5.15.13 I have tried several things. Deleting the .Moziila folder will permit the window to work once but after a restart stops working. Any new things to try would be appreciated.

Hi Mozilla I hav got a problem with Firefox on Kubuntu 24.04.3. Everytime the computer is restarted Firefox crashes the first time it's started. That's not a big problem, starting Firefox again don't take long. But the problems is exceeding. If i start Firefox by clicking a link in a mail in Thunderbird. And Firefox has not yet been started, It crashes, but now it's also invaliding the Task bar on the screen where Firefox was started. Invaliding means that I cannot start apps from that screens taskbar, and the clock has stalled, none of the tools works etc. The only possibility solution I have been able to figure out, is restart (It's like going back to Win 98). Sometimes I am able to start a app from that invalid taskbar. But it's not the one app that i clicked on. Even though I can trigger it via Thunderbird, the invaliding of the taskbar will occur after a while. And I have to restart. I am not sure if this is the right place to post. But Firefox is always involved, but maybe Thunderbird or Ubuntu was the right place? Every time Firefox crashes there is send a crash report to Mozilla, but is has been going on for a while, so i guess that nobody is looking at the crash report. If I use Chromium instead of Firefox I don't see the problem.

Hello again guys,

when I play a video in Firefox, it doesn't keep the screen on.

I need this accessibility feature.

This happens, at least, with Debian 12's Firefox (uptodate), like over 1 year now.

Please help with that too.

Thanks in advance!

Good day,

when I click in Instagram in the notifications on a comment, I get redirected to to the comment section, but not to that certain comment, so I would have to scroll a lot.

Please help with that.

Thanks a lot!

I will contact Instagram about that now too, as maybe the issue is on their side, or on your side.

How do I disable the cruft which appears in the URLbar? Specifically, the trackers detected symbol, the certificate verified symbol, the bookmark this page symbol, and the question mark symbols which appear on both the URLbar and the searchbar.

I installed firefox on ubuntu 24.04 following the guidelines from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

I followed the direction from the section "Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions", adding the https://packages.mozilla.org/apt repository, prioritizing that over firefox snap from ubunto repors and finally installing firefox.

All good, now I have the latest firefox.

Question: what entry should I add to the "Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins" section of "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" in order to enable unattended upgrades for the mozilla repo?

Googling this got me different contradictory recommendations that did not get my system to firefox 146 until I manually run the apt update/upgrade.

Thanks!

Bonjour,

A chaque demarrage de firefox, la taille des fenetres retaurees se reduit. L'environnement est du KDE Plasma X11 sur une Debian 12. La methode est simple: Ouvrir firefox. (Mode restauration de la session precedente active) Quitter firefox. Reouvrir firefox. La fenetre se reduit a la retauration des pages.

Comment remedier a cela? J'ai deja tenter avec un nouveau profil. Le probleme persiste.

Cordialement.

With Firefox 144, there is unasked for/unwanted AI introduced. How do I ensure that all AI is completely disabled in my browser? I found a link describing some settings, but want to confirm this will disable ALL AI in the browser. I don't want it, don't trust the privacy/security holes yet to be found and would prefer it was not included in Firefox to begin with. The list I've found is:

• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.enable", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.optin", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.modelHubRootUrl", "");

Will this do it? What about:

browser.ml.chat.nimbus

Do I need to clear that field to ensure I don't get some auto opt-in in the future as more and more of this "stuff" is put into the browser?

Why not leave Firefox as a security/privacy conscious browser and put out a separate AI browser (FirefoxML?) for those that are not as concerned. How does Mozilla ensure that no information is leaked through AI from sessions for professionals that must protect physician/patient, attorney/client information or other legally confidential information?

I use Linux mint and Firefox on all my computers a week ago I started to get errors on the Kroger's website. Today I used my laptop computer which has not been updated for several months and that Firefox works fine with the Kroger's website. Firefox updates has created problems with Kroger's website. How do I tell Firefox creators about this?
