See the image below, how do I prevent that black box showing up and showing anyone who uses my device my sensitive data? How is this not a common setting to be changed?

Very insecure and Horrible to have on by default. Recently switched to firefox from chrome because of security concerns but stuff like this is making me want to go back, because HOW IS THIS SAFE AND SECURE?!?!?!?

I've typed in passwords in boxes that arent really password boxes, and firefox has suggested my own password in plain sight like in the image below.

Strongly recommend firefox to not make this default and make it an accessible setting to disable because I've leaked my sensitive information to online calls because of this. This urgently needs to be addressed as a security concern. At least have a cogwheel button next to the black box to quickly disable this setting. Very very disappointed.

I use the Menu Bar and discovered that when I select History and then right click one of the entries it no longer shows the small window which allows you to Open in a New Tab etc.

If I use the 3 bar option on the right hand side to Open application menu, then select History, then right click an entry, the small window I mentioned above opens as it used to when using the Menu Bar.

I have attached screenshots showing the issue when using the Menu Bar and also when I use the application menu on the right.

I have been using the Menu Bar option for years now so I can only assume that this issue has arisen after a previous update.

I am currently running Firefox 140.0.4 and this issue is there even when I disabled all themes & extensions and when I ran Troubleshoot Mode!

Hopefully a simple fix will resolve this.

Literally every single extensions I try to download says Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt. I don't know why because I just downloaded firefox.

I am interested in Firefox View, but I do not see that button on my toolbar (see attached image). When I search extensions I don't see that come up as an option. How do I add Firefox View?

I wanted to open www.wattpad.com ,but firefox is not reaching the web i request u to resolve this problem as soon as possible

Version 140.0.4 (64-bit)

As the title states, if you have a private window open and you close your main (non-private) window and attempt to relaunch Firefox (mine is at the taskbar) you will then encounter a window with none of the previously opened tabs and simply a single fresh tab. This is despite having the setting to continue browsing where I left off in the settings ("Open previous windows and tabs") enabled. Luckily the lost window can be recovered by going to History -> Recently closed windows -> "___tab names____"

This video down helper is unstable it works when it wants to and stops working all the time can't somebody do something about it I paid for the license what more do you want fix this thing

I am working on a shopify POD store. I have printify up and running. They have a placeit extension that you can access the entire library of placeit mockups within your printify product. For some reason it does not seem to work within Firefox. I can get it to work within chrome, but not firefox. Feel free to contact me and help me figure it out. The pop up allows me to enter credentials, but not connect and download to printify.

I'm running Windows 11 64 bit 16 gigabytes of RAM Intel i7 12th Gen CPU With UHD display It's a Dell Inspiron 16 seven six two zero two in one laptop

The issue that I'm having is Facebook calling is grayed out on the icons for Facebook. I have gone as far as refreshing Firefox and the two other factory restore options But neither of the three helped. I am using Microsoft Edge as a backup for Facebook video calling but I prefer Firefox for everything.

I have not found a workaround yet If you guys know of one please let me know I have contacted Facebook but they have not responded back to my my contact. The good thing is I have a work around But I would prefer my default browser get fixed ASAP.

Thank you to anyone that responds Firefox in my opinion is the best browser I hope to continue to keep using it as my default browser Have a great weekend

Sincerely GER RIT

[Audio Issue] Firefox Causes Background App Volume Drop on Tab Focus — All Volumes at 100%, Issue Not Present in Portable

Issue Summary: Whenever I focus a Firefox tab (even a blank or safe mode one), the audio volume of background applications (e.g., Spotify) drops or changes audibly. It’s not a ducking effect (as all ducking settings are disabled), and Windows volume mixer shows all apps still at 100%. The issue happens only while Firefox is focused — not minimized, not unfocused.

Reproduction Steps:

Play music using Spotify or another app.

Focus any Firefox window or tab.

Background audio becomes quieter or altered — then returns to normal once Firefox is unfocused. Specifically on focus it will change system volume to 58, then return to what it was previously when unfocused.

System Info:

OS: Windows 11 (fully updated)

Firefox Version: 128.0.2 (issue present since at least 127)

Audio Output: Realtek and NVIDIA High Definition Audio (same issue on both)

Spotify Version: Latest Windows Store version

Windows Sound Settings:

Communications tab: "Do nothing"

All app volumes: 100%

No enhancements or spatial effects enabled

Troubleshooting Already Tried (No Success):

Step Result ✅ Disabled audio ducking in Windows No effect ✅ Disabled audio enhancements No effect ✅ Ran Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (Safe Mode) Issue persists ✅ Changed Firefox audio backend to winmm via about:config No improvement ✅ Fully reset Firefox profile (about:support → Refresh) Issue persists ✅ Verified with Process Explorer (audiodg.exe shows activity on tab focus) Confirms session change ✅ Ensured all apps in volume mixer show 100% No volume mismatch ✅ Rebooted and tested cleanly Still occurs ✅ Tested Firefox Portable (fresh instance) Issue does NOT occur (portable version behaves as expected)

Additional Notes:

The issue appears to be triggered by the main installed version of Firefox only.

A completely clean portable version does not cause the volume change, suggesting something related to the system-wide install, global config, or registry entries is affecting it.

Even without extensions, without playing any video/audio in Firefox, just focusing the window causes this volume behavior.

What I Plan to Try Next:

Fully uninstall Firefox (including deleting AppData and registry leftovers), then reinstall cleanly to see if that resolves it.

Possibly test Firefox ESR if needed.

Request for Help:

Has anyone experienced Firefox causing audio session or DSP changes on focus, especially with audiodg.exe activity?

Could there be a hidden system-level or registry config that ties Firefox to a shared exclusive audio session?

Any way to trace which audio sessions Firefox creates and how Windows handles them?

Let me know if you'd like logs, about:support data, Process Explorer thread captures, or a video of the issue. I’d appreciate any help from the community in narrowing this down.

Thanks! —Justin
