1. Close Firefox (FF) with some tabs open 2. While FF is closed the websites are updated 3. Open Firefox, tabs reopen 4. Go to tabs

Expected: Tabs should the latest version of the website (ie the page has been refreshed)

Actual: Tabs are showing the old, previous (cached) versions of the website and not refreshing to show the latest

User has to manuall refresh each tab to see the latest version of the page

Are other people seeing this issue?

I would like to have different default search engines for the URL bar and the search bar. For example have a query typed in the URL bar use DuckDuckGo by default. But a query in the search bar use Google by default. I am aware that it's possible to use shortcut strings, use alt+arrows to cycle through the options, or select a different search engine from the icons. I'd like to be able to set them differently without any of that.

Will Firefox access be allowed on Windows 10 & 11 or will Edge be the only allowed browser?

I'm still using Windows 10, and want to continue using it as long as I can. I just read that Microsoft is going to force all users to use Edge when Windows 11 becomes mandatory next year. This means that all access to Firefox will be cut off. Is Firefox preparing for this? Will there be some way for us to NOT be forced to use Edge (which I do NOT like at all)-- i.e., will there be some way to work around it? Please figure out some way for us to not have to use Edge. This is a horrible, Big Brother-esque situation. Thank you.

About two or three times a month the PC randomly freezes completely if a video is running in the actual Firefox browser (regardless of the site, regardless of whether it is in the active tab or in the background). First the image freezes, after about 10 seconds the sound freezes. Only a hard reset helps. The problem is observed both in actual Windows 11 and in Manjaro Linux. In games, rendering, stress tests and other PC works stably, does not freeze. How to solve this problem?

I want to stop the browser from auto refreshing in some website but it keep auto refresh despite the fact that accessibility.blockautorefresh is marked as "true". In the past it wasn't like that, but someone who used my computer visited the website and clicked on some note from the website and gave it a permission for auto refreshing. I tried to look in the "permissions" of the website but found nothing about auto refreshing. I don't know how to stop those auto refreshing.

I was using Firefox with German set as my default language. When browsing YouTube and right-clicking a video thumbnail on the homepage, suddenly a lot of new options have been added to the right-click menu related to playing the video, such as 'Pause', 'Unmute', 'Speed' etc.

One of the shortcuts is 'Ton' (German for Audio), which leads to the right-click menu option for 'New Tab' and 'Ton (Audio)' being the same, both are selected using Strg + T. This means that now I cannot simply use Strg + T to open the video in a new tab, I have to tap an additional key to select which of the 'T'-options (New Tab or Ton) I want to choose, since simply using Strg + T will just keep switching between the options in the menu instead of selecting it. It's a small but at the same time incredibly annoying change.

Since this problem doesn't exist when using the English interface, I switched to that as a short term solution. But I would really like to know why this choice was made for the German interface, considering how often the New Tab shortcut will be used and that I don't need those video settings on the homepage at all.

Is there a way to change this or edit the right-click menu? Or could you consider this fact in your next update? Please make the shortcut for 'Ton' something other than Strg + T...

I frequently use the following site: https://qglobal.pearsonassessments.com/qg/ with my Firefox browser. Last night it would not complete the login process. I tried several different accounts, typed in the information rather than using the auto-fill and also cleared the cache. Multiple attempts. No luck. Then I tried using the browser, Edge, and it completed the login. There was a new update to Firefox in the last couple days. Could that be the problem? I contacted the tech support at the Pearson Assessments and they tried it from their computer, on Firefox, and it worked. But their Firefox was not the most updated version.

Thank you.

Firefox works just fine - but - every once in awhile my Virus checker (ZoneAlarm) gives me a warning "Firefox is trying to launch C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe or use another program to gain access to privileged resources".

This happens while Firefox is already running. I decline it through Zonealarm and it has no effect on the Firefox that is already running. I have tried allowing it also and there seems to be no difference in the already running Firefox. When I gave it permission to run, I also ran a Virus scan (Zonealarm) and a Malware Bytes scan as well. Neither found any suspicious activity.

Any idea what causes this?

Hi all,

I have jumped ship from Chrome to Firefox today but I have encountered an issue with the site crunchyroll.com where the video content will jiggle around during playback (both full-screen and regular page view.) I have tested Youtube as well and the issue is not present on those videos. To give you a better picture of what it is like, it is like watching a video on an OLED screen with pixel shift enabled but it's super aggresive and is incredibly distracting.

To my memory I am pretty confident that the video player used on Crunyroll's website is a HTML5 player with DRM security and videos are in mp4 format.

I am running Firefox 131.0 (64-bit) completly fresh on Windows 11 with an RTX 30 series GPU. So far I have tried the following with no success and the jiggle remaining:

  1. Cleared the site data and cache
  2. Disabled Add-ons one-by-one to identify a potential culprit
  3. Disabled Hardware acceleration
  4. Ran Firefox in Safe Mode
  5. All of the above in combination

I am stumped as to why this might be happening especially with a fresh out-of-box experiance. Any assistance you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated, as I would prefer to avoid Chromium browsers going forward.

Many thanks, Phreaky

I installed firefox v130 from the tar.gz file to /opt. I use the latest enlightenment desktop on debian trixie. Firefox works great, I have no problems with it's functionality.

Unfortunately, I don't like the fact that it uses it's own window manager. When I install firefox from the debian repos (firefox-esr/testing,now 115.15.0esr-1) it uses the default window manager (enlightenment in this case). How can I get firefox to use the desktop window manager?

TIA
