With the Firefox version before 146.0, macOS Tahoe 26.1 would grab 2FA 6-digit codes from either Messages or Mail, as appropriate, and populate the 2FA field on a website. With FF 146.0 this no longer works. Not a fatal problem but an annoying loss of a convenient function.

Whenever I type in "photo", Firefox has always autocompleted to photos.google.com. Today it's started autocompleting to photoquotes.com instead; a site I never use, and I don't know why Firefox is suggesting it.

I have followed SEVERAL guides for how to remove sites from autocomplete suggestions, and all of them give wrong advice.

I have gone to History/Manage History and 'Forget about this site'. That does not remove the site from autocomplete.

I have tried 'Hover over the entry to select it, then click delete'. This does not work. It only deletes the last character entered in the address bar.

I have tried 'Select the three-dot menu beside the suggestion and select Remove from history'. That is Not Possible with the top result in autocomplete, which appears above Firefox suggestions.

Could someone please tell me the CORRECT answer on how to remove specific websites from being suggested in autocomplete!?

I have been dealing with an issue in Firefox on Windows 11 for several weeks now hoping for a fix soon but it has not come yet. When I am browsing on eBay, it will lock up and I have to identify the thread in Task Manger and kill it (just the runaway thread, not the entire program). I can then continue of eBay for a short time before it happens again. This only happens on eBay while just browsing, not bidding/buying. Is anyone else having this issue?

Here's the thing, Firefox isn't preinstalled on any PC or Mac or iOS or Android. This is a userbase that already went out of our way to pivot from the default ecosystem to come to Firefox.

So if you keep pushing this "AI" on folks, they have already proven their ability and readiness to leave.

I've been with Firefox since the big Quantum refresh. I already know what other browsers I can migrate to. And I'm a hobbyist writer who has been one of the many victims of AI companies scraping my work for their models.

Reverse course on this AI push, or not only will I leave but everyone I chat with, every computer in my department at work, we're all out.

So, I noticed that the default font Firefox uses on Android when nothing is specified is a sans-serif font. But I would like to use serif.

I've already seen an answer to change the values of "font.name.sans-serif.x-unicode" and "font.name.sans-serif.x-western" in about:config (also "font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def", but that must have been removed, nothing shows up when I search it), but I haven't gotten it to work. I assume I'm not inputting the right value. What should I set as the value to get it to use a serif font? Or is there another way I should do this?

I operate with several to many windows open (and many tabs). Firefox (Mac) used to list the open Windows in the Window menu in the order I originally created/opened each window. A while back, FF started sorting – and re-sorting! – the list of open windows alphabetically according to the Tab that is currently active in each Window. This means that the window appears in different places in the Window menu list according to the name of the Tab. I DO NOT LIKE THAT because the it makes the Window hard to find.

Is there any way to set this to operate the way it used to - keeping the Window list in the order first opened, regardless of which Tab is open?

I hope you will fix this quickly with a new update, as it's a real problem.

Thank you in advance. Sincerely,

First noticed when listening to music on YouTube while playing a game: After a few songs, video would stop, shortly followed by audio (Every few minutes it might play less than a second of audio). Somewhere along the line any interaction with YT itself or even the tab stop working. All other tabs work fine.

Firefox doesn't ever crash, and I can't see anything weird when using a process viewer (I'm not too familiar with Linux diagnostic tools).

So far I've tried:

  • Updating Firefox
  • Disabling Extensions
  • Clearing cache
  • Uninstall Firefox
  • Multiple Proton games through Steam
  • Game running through Wine
  • Updated OS

I've tested with Chrome, which had no issues.

I don't recall messing with anything at the time (I did change some settings in firefox, but I think that was a few days before the issue started).

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!
