When using the the chat especially when on either of my laptops. I think it would be useful to be able to minimize/hide the chat but not have it completely close so you can stay in the same session.

In my head I see it working by adding a simple minimize button next to the close button. When it minimizes, the icon for the chat can stay highlighted to alert that it is still active. Also, when switching from chat to other options like bookmarks, history or tabs. If there is a current chat open it should use the minimize behavior so the same chat is still active when you navigate back. So essentially the only time the chat closes or resets is when you close it.

It's apparently well known that Firefox and Gmail don't play nice together, apparently because of how Gmail uses Java. Is there a plan in the works to fix Firefox so Gmail isn't so absurdly slow? I don't *want* to switch to Chrome, but I don't want to stop using Gmail either.

I am unable to enter or browse for a location to save downloads in the settings for this browser. The box to type in a destination does not allow me to type any text and the button labeled "Browse" does not pop up any additional window after I click it for me to choose a destination folder for downloads. I need to be able to alter these settings or will have to resort to using a different browser all together. I have been able to modify these same settings within Safari. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Running an old Mac mini and Catalina. Firefox 128.14.0esr (64-bit)

As of today I can't log in to PayPal from my desktop using Firefox as my browser, it says I am "blocked" I spoke to Paypal and the account is fine. From the same machine and the same internet connection, I can log in with Safari and do not get the Blocked message. I can log in via Safari and my iPad. I can log in with ethernet or WiFi (different ISPs, one BT, one Spitfire) as long as it isn't Firefox.

All signs point to the old browser. Can/will this be fixed? Cheers,

When I updated to MacOS Tahoe 26.0, Firefox prompted me to autofill security codes received by iMessage. That happened once or twice and then stopped working. I just tried it in Safari, and it does work. So, something is wrong in the handshake between Firefox for Mac 144.0.2 and MacOS iMessage. Here is how to replicate it.

Login to a website that requires two-factor authentication. Have a security code texted to your iPhone. When that text appears in iMessages on a Mac linked to the iPhone, there should be a small popup asking if you want to insert the security code into the web page. In Safari, there is. In Firefox, there isn't. This feature appears to be broken in Firefox.

I love Firefox and generally really appreciate the way y'all operate as a company and developer.

However, I really don't like this new function to add tabs to a group. Since it rolled out, I'm always adding tabs into groups when I don't mean to. Really, it's creating a group almost every time I move a tab around. If I delete the group, it's just more clicks and distractions to deal with.

In the past, when you've rolled out new features like this, you've also made it very easy to turn off any new feature we don't like. But I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help.

On macOS the previous behaviour in Firefox was that the text content from the drag&drop was sent to the application I dropped to (and still works this way when doing so to the open application). But now Firefox downloads the image preview that I use to enable the drag&drop with into a temp folder, giving it a serial name. Is there any setting to revert back to the old behaviour? And if, not can you implement one please?

On my 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro equipped with dual GPUs, enabling danmaku (on-screen comments) while playing videos on bilibili.com causes a sudden spike in GPU usage, leading to significant heating. The issue disappears when danmaku is disabled.

Additional notes: 1. This problem does not occur in Safari or Chrome. 2. "Use recommended performance settings" is already enabled in Firefox. 3. Reinstalling Firefox did not resolve the issue.

What can I do to fix this?

Hi. I'm on Tahoe since 24 hours. I have Lulu installed. Lulu blocked an outgoing connection called ping sender that wants to connect to 34.120.208.123 and is related to Mozilla as Lulu says. But when I run a whois on this ip I get

WTF?????????

The launch of Firefox Profiles seems to have obliterated everything in my account: bookmarks, history, open tabs, and extensions are all gone completely. I have an option to import files from another browser, but not from my own past firefox. I logged into my Mozilla account, but I didn't have any other devices so I think it was still unable to recover the data? Is there anything I can do about this, or is all of my data truly gone?

I've had Firefox as my main browser on my Macbooks for over 20 years. It is becoming increasingly frustrating working on something and realizing the computer is slowing down when loading websites, only to realize there is yet another update that requires the restarting of the browser. This is especially annoying when on a Zoom meeting for instance, and trying to open a website.

I usually have 80+ tabs open across 4-5 windows. When restarting the browser, I now have to open each tab to log into whatever site I was in.

Why does Firefox have to do SOOOOOOO many frequent updates that require restarting the browser, and why does it have to slow down your computer when there is an update?

It's like you have no choice but to update it. Would it be possible to NOT slow down your computer, but give some kind of notification, say by email, when there is an important update?

SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.
