Hi, my firefox appears to be missing its navigation/toolbar. I only have a single bottom bar for the address bar, home, tab and the three dots. I would like to have the back, forward button, bookmarks to be pinned on the toolbar area. I try to use the Secret Setting but it does not have the option to enable toolbar. I have included two screenshots, the orange circle depicting my current situation. I would like to have something similar to the toolbar (Samsung Internet Browser) in the other screenshot with teal circle.

Hello, Long time user and lover. Never had any problems with your great browser. This past week, on my phone, Firefox has been flagged "high battery background usage" and is continuously trying to put app to deep sleep. What has happened? How do I stop this? Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated Thanks Scott

Hello, Sorry to disturb but its been two days and I am unable to access my Google accounts (work and private) through Firefox in anyway. I have done all the basic fixes I can think of but with no success. I have deleted caches, checked plug ins, rebooted Firefox went through the trouble shooting mode, followed advice in the community forum, tried logging in from Google linked accounts. Spoke to our internal IT support at work but nothing has solved the issue as yet, spoke to Google support.

My assumption is that it has to be the browser as I am able to log into google with another browser but Firefox is my preferred browser and would like to use it again as such.

Please advise.

Thank you Cait

Is there any Add-on that will shoot a scrolling screenshot (full page screenshot)?

For reference, there's an excellent extension on Chrome/Brave called "Go full screen" which has simple but perfect functionality, one-click automation, saves as either .pdf or .png format to your downloads folder.

Hello

On some website (example : https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands/ ) the "find in page" search field will just vanish in the middle of typing or while pressing the up/down arrow to go through findings.

Firefox version : 131.0.3

Hi!

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox problem or not, but every time I try to go the Facebook website I get this error:

"Sorry! Something went wrong :("

And it has been going on for weeks. Sometimes it works in the evenings (UK time), which seems weird but it is rare. I tried troubleshooting mode and it made no difference. Facebook is my sole means of contact with some people, including one or two students (I'm a tutor). I also tried to install the newest version of Manjaro, but it made no difference.

Also, I cleared the whole history, and do that at the end of each day anyway, so that is not a fixer.

The reason why there is any doubt that it a is Firefox problem is that it also happens with Chromium but without the occasional successful connection.

Does anyone have any ideas? And is there any other information that it might be useful for me to provide?

(Firefox 131.0.3 and up to date version on 12/03/2025) (Manjaro 24.1.1 and up to date version on 12/03/2025)

Supplementary note: I won't be able to use Caprine as an alternative access as it has effectively been obsoleted due to it being dependent on Electron29, which won't build for some obscure reason. And no, I don't have a smartphone.

Thank you kindly,

Oliver.

Windows 11 FF 131.0.3 64-bit

This has been an intermittent problem since the update before this one. The screen freezes and nothing works, no mouse, no keypad, nothing. Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't even work. There is no way to shut it down except the power button. It happens at different times, and doesn't seen to have one trigger. I've run troubleshooter, but no change.

It was happening in the previous update, but it seems worse in this one. I asked about this on Reddit a few weeks ago, and someone else said he was having the same problem.

I keep getting a message on screen saying "page refuses to load"; I don't know if it's a problem with the search engine or the browser (I have been using DuckDuckGo as my search engine recently). I haven't used Firefox for years now, and have never used it on my own device so I'm still getting to know it.

Hi there,

Is there a way to change the keyboard shortcut for the Bookmarks Library back to Ctrl-Shift-B?

I tried the old solution offered here (config.js / config-prefs.js), but it no longer seems to work in FF 131: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318541

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

My system memory is reading at 57% right now in task manager, that the vast majority of that is being used by Firefox.

Why?

Normally, this would be called a flaw in the program, not the user, as all I have done in regards to settings is "keep tabs previous open when re-opening Firefox" and "Do not automatically update" because Firefox took it upon itself to not re-open my previous tabs on the last update.

Why is this program eating up all of that memory? I have "Firefox (15)" in Task manager under "Apps" and then 13 more instances of Firefox in "Backround Processes"

Wtf?

One of the things I heavily rely on with FireFox is it storing words I type in reply boxes on various forums. Lately however, Firefox only seems to keep them for several hours, then they disappear. For example, I can type in "K Frame." (See image attached) The next time I go to use that field again, that text will automatically appear. And it may continue to do so for several hours, even if I close out Firefox and return later, but eventually, within 24 hours, it will disappear and I will have to retype it again the nest time I want to use that phrase. FireFox used to hold these words or phrases forever.

Any suggestions????? Both my Windows 11 and Firefox are up to date.

When switching to another app from Firefox and then switching back to firefox, the webpage reloads. This is not a memory issue, I have enough RAM and it happens even if I only have 1 tab open. This is a major pain when I need to enter a 2FA code and need to swith apps to get the code. Or if I'm watching a YouTube video and get a call, the youtuve page reloads after the call has ended. Please suggest how to fix this.

I have no way to log in to my google accounts right now. On any google site, if I hit log-in it redirects me to this page:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies. My firefox browser is up to date. I tried disabling ad blocker and cookie auto-delete. Javascript is enabled and I even tried turning on that feature that prevents page redirects. I'm truly at a loss for what to do.

How can I remove "Firefox suggests" URLs from the address/search bar on Android? I found the help article "Firefox Suggest for Mobile" (last updated 4/22/24) but when I follow its directions, I only see the first 3 toggleable options. "Suggestions from Firefox" and "Suggestions from sponsors" don't appear at all. The suggested URLs are frequently sites I have never been to and never want to go to, and their appearance is extremely irritating. Attached is a screenshot of the settings page as it appears to me, with only 3 options.
