Very frustrated with browser closing and not saving my tabs. Just got a brand new laptop and had everything set up but when I shut down system overnight, this morning I booted up and nothing was saved in Firefox!!!! HOURS of work wasted. So I again spent all morning doing it all again. Just now -- my browser closed automatically in the middle of work I was doing and everything disappeared again. I have been a LOYAL user of Firefox for years but I'm not doing this again. I despise all other options but need urgent help NOW to guide me through. Is it this Private Browsing? thing that showed up I didn't choose? How do I get rid of it? I'm a novice online but can be taught. Waste of my life and time....

Need access to Motley Fool site to appear completely on screen instead of having a partial screen showing some Motley Fool signs but not being able to utilize normal activity. Had no trouble for many months of subscription getting access to the site and being able to read any articles I want. I have contacted Motley Fool several times and we have tried many things to solve problem but had no problem solving results.

On our Windows computer Thunderbird has always had an issue where it would pop up a message saying "Could not connect to mail server imap.comcast.net, the connection was refused". A few hours or days would go by and Thunderbird and Comcast would talk to each other again. I finally had some time to try and debug this and (of course) I couldn't get the error to reproduce but instead I kept getting an imap timeout error. I captured the error message but it doesn't tell me why it's timing out or what to do about it.

P.S. Yes, I increased the timeout value from 100 to 300 and now it simply takes longer

I subscribe to Shutterstock, but though the image selection is excellent, I'm having problems finding the option to save or save as, so I can't successfully download them and insert them in the text of my post. What's the fix for this?

It would be nice to be able to link the Thunderbird and ALEXA calendars. I schedule appointments and events from emails and I have Alexa announce my daily schedule so bi-directional updates would be very handy.

I could not find a specific area to submit suggestions.

Win11 64 bit PC, using Firefox ver. 131, scrolling issues with the Times online newspaper. Used to work ok, just automatically scrolled up and down using the mouse scroll wheel. Sill works fine in any other browser. Downgraded to Firefox ver. 128esr, that works fine too. Something wrong with 131? Cleared cache, no extensions used on 131.

In ver. 131, the scroll works after hitting page fit and page fill, but you have to do that endlessly. The problem is somewhat intermittent, several pages may then scroll normally, then scroll stops working again, then back to page fit and page fill buttons. There are no error messages.

Can I go back to the earlier version of Firefox that synced well with google? If so, how? Otherwise I don't know what to do. I simply wind up in clear cache and cookies no matter how I try to get into my google account. I tried my google account on safari and it works fine. I have only had this problem since the most recent Firefox update. Do you think it's a flawed version that I need to purge and reinstall?

Hi,

I use Firefox (currently 131.0.3 arm64) on macOS (currently 15.0.1) and found, that after starting firefox and having minimized the browser window to Stage Manager and brought it back to the desktop once, it won't minimize again with Command+M or via the Window-menu. Clicking the yellow control at the top-left of the browser window still works but it's not very convenient.

Is this expected behaviour or is FF incompatible with Stage Manager?

Regards

Stefan

Why does Firefox block so many news and current affairs links? Is this censorship? When I am blocked by Firefox I can usually rely on Opera to open them immediately and without any fuss. I'm fast losing confidence in Firefox as my default browser.

After I left the university and started working at the government lab, my authentication sometimes seemed lost. My connection to NCBI frequently stopped, and other connections also took a long time and finally timed out. I am now creating my paper and applying for the research grant. This condition affects my work. Could you make it no longer happen or tell me how to set it up? Sincerely, Miyabi Tanaka

Facebook Messenger - when typing in the text box with a long message, the text is fine on the first 'line' but after it moves down a row (line?) the whole screen starts scrolling and the text continues in one line, never advancing. Makes most text unviewable.

Hello,

Since I've updated my Ubuntu from 24.04 LTS to 24.10 I see very annoying issue regarding to latest Firefox (131.0.3) installed via flatpak.

The issue occurs while I tried to start firefox via flatpak icon (desktop or program menu). When I take an action to start firefox it takes 30 seconds to few minutes sometimes to take start.

What is interesting: when I start browser from the terminal (flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox) - it works without any problem and starts immediately.

I've also tried solutions from this thread https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1442927 - no success.

Before update all works well. Also I'm using thunderbird (on flatpak too) and it starts ok.

My Mailstore installation will not connect with Thunderbird, stating that pref.js cannot be found. Linking to Mailstore is required thus: AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\741kq2if.default\prefs.js

By enabling Hidden Files on my Windows 11 pc I can link to 741kq2if.default but not beyond to the pref.js 'file'. Note that my T'bird is fully installed and operational. I would appreciate advice. Ron
