I'm having problems with message board posts, and they said the problem was browser related rather than on their end. And I don't really have the vocabulary to look up a solution, so I'm asking here.

When I'm writing a post in a text box-- and I don't know if it's supposed to be called a text box, but it's shorter than "that box at the bottom of the thread where you type your post and then hit enter"-- if I go to a different page, when I come back, the text box is (inconsistently) blank. Everything I was writing is gone.

This was not the case up until a few days ago. If I needed to, say, post links to a bunch of threads, I could go to each thread in turn, copy the URL, and then back-arrow to the page with the post-in-progress and everything would be there waiting for me. I could be fifteen pages out from where I started, but as long as I used the back-arrow, it would be fine.

Like I said, I made a bug report on the message board itself and they told me "That's not a function of site, it's a function of your browser. If it's changed, it's because your browser has updated (or an extension is interfering)". I also talked to a friend to try to narrow down the problem and he came up with "it's probably a cache issue".

So where do I go from here to try to fix things?

I'm extremely frustrated with firefox at this point for not being able to do something very simple which google chrome has. I want to organize my tabs into groups so that the next time my tabs close unexpectedly, I can open all of the ones from that group. I naturally organize them right now into windows and I minimize the window if I'm not using the tabs in that window. However, my new laptop cannot handle having more than 3 windows with 5 tabs open at a time. Last week, I was on a video call and firefox closed all of my windows that I had organized my tabs into. Once I was able to reboot firefox, I could not click "restore session" because I needed to get on the video call. Then the "restore session" button was lost. Many of the tabs I haven't touched for a few weeks, even though they were all organized together, I can't find them in my history together because I wasn't using them all on the same day and some of them were sitting unused but on a digital to do list within that window. I've tried every single tab organizer that is "recommended" on the firefox extensions and they all suck. I don't understand why they automatically hide my tab groups and then I can't open them again, I don't understand why I need to duplicate a tab to mark it in a certain container, it just feels like none of these are simple and none of them will do what I want them to. I want to speak to a real person. I need help. I don't think I can use firefox anymore. Why is there no help people here.

I haven't used Firefox since they introduced the stupid new design back in 2021 and I came back because all the other browsers are worse than the old Firefox, so is this new one! Why is everything made for touch? I can't even set the density to compact anymore and everything is bigger than it was before... And now there's a bunch of garbage like firefox pocket, tab manager thing and import bookmarks button which wasn't there before and doesn't need to be

We use Atlassian Confluence for our company wiki, in which I have a number of pages that contain macros for excerpts.

For a long time these displayed perfectly fine, but in recent months, each of these macros now displays with it's own scrollbar, making the pages very awkward to use. I have attached screenshots showing a page with 2 of these blocks, and one where I have overridden one line of css which temporarily fixes it.

I am always running the latest version of FireFox, and I don't have any custom display settings that I know of. I tested this in Chrome, and the issue doesn't happen there. I have had long conversations with Atlassian, and they say it's a FFox issue, not theirs. Some of their responses were: - the same code renders the content on browsers and the JS adapts to the platform. - I have the same element in the CSS but the element is directed to an event in my browser and to a Scroll in yours.

Any help on how this can be resolved is greatly appreciated.

When I click on the 3 lines in the top right corner of firefox, my email is shown very plainly. This would cause issues with my profession if it were to be opened by accident.. Is there a way to hide my email address in that area?

I have been using Chrome browser long time. Chrome can do just 1 click a button for changing between profiles.

I am a beginner of using Fire Fox browser. I made 3 different profiles. but I don't know how to open profile 2 after seen profile 1. I know how to check these profile in one place (About Profiles).

There is no button to select the other profiles. Is there any other simple button like Chrome?

Hello, I have an issue with audio in Firefox As an example this website: https://www.radiofrance.fr/fip/radio-nouveautes It's a radio, when I hit play nothing sounds, but after reloading the page it works and play sound. Do you know how to fix that? Best regards,

I have been playing a forum-based game for about six months now, via FireFox. I just got a new laptop, and it won't load past the "checking browser" page. It just tells me "This challenge page was accidentally cached by an intermediary and is no longer available."

A few months ago (maybe for a year?), after a certain update, I found that I cannot create new tabs directly in private window. That is to say, ctrl+T does not work, same for clicking the + button near the tabs or hitting the "new tab" from the drop down list. However, any of the action mentioned above works as expected when it is in a normal window.

I do not have any extension related with tab management, and I really cannot figure out why this is happening, so I was always expecting the next update will fix this issue.

For a number of days now my Firefox Browser has been stopping/freezing whatever you want to call it, mostly accompanied with banner at top of screen stating that "Mozilla Firefox Unresponsive". It has been happening constantly (every few minutes for a few days now), but unlike in the past I have NOT gotten any of the "Mozilla Crash Report" boxes to send. First, whats happening with Firefox that it keeps crashing so much? Second, why have I not been receiving any Mozilla Crash Reports to send?

I would appreciate a reply soon as it's come to the point I may have to switch to another browser to stop the constant disruptions while using my computer.

Thanking you in Advance Patti Tray
