However, I can't keep doing this daily, it's killing me. is there something i'm missing here? P

Hi All,

I keep Google messages for web open in a tab.

Normally I see new messages have arrived because the tab title changes to indicate this.

This feature stopped working a few days ago. I now have to keep switching to that tab to see if there are any new messages.

The equivalent for outlook is still working ok.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

I have a new computer and browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is not working properly when set to "true" on this machine. I've been using Firefox for around 20 years now and never had a problem with this, it always worked as intended, like this: |Tab|Tab|Active Tab|Third New Tab|Second New Tab|First New Tab|Tab|

But now it's working like this, always inserting the new related tabs after the other related tabs, like this: |Tab|Tab|Active Tab|First New Tab|Second New Tab|Third New|Tab|

I searched Google for this bug and found out that a lot of people have this problem too, but haven't found any solutions. What should I do? Thank you in advance for any help, it's really appreciated, this is making my work quite annoying.

Firefox seems to think I am in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. I am actually in New York and have no connection to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

Google Chrome on the same (Windows 11 Microsoft Surface Pro X) computer has the right location for me, as does Microsoft Edge. Checking my IP address with https://www.iplocation.net/ gives a location reasonably close to my real location and nowhere near Arkansas.

If I clear all cache in Firefox, it does go back to the right address - at the cost of a lot of annoying re-entry of routine information. But after a few days it goes back to insisting I am in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

Before I switch to Chrome, is there a way to fix this?

Everything is better in Firefox except the download manager. Most of the time when I try to download any file or video it fails. Please improve your download manager.

I have not been about to open new tabs for a while I guess this is due to upgrade I never realized this until I downloaded Firefox on my chromebook. Is anything that can be done or are we just out of luck now when using Firefox also what happen to the search bar is that gone forever as well. I really liked firefoxbut looks like have to find omitting else that wil work for my needs. Finally, is the menu bar gone as well. Please advise and answer all questions ty

Where is it? I had multiple failed downloads. It keeps failing over and over again right at the end of the download. I don't understand why? It's not a space issue, plenty of that. So how can I check what is the reason for failed download?

I got saved the .part file, which is 5.13 gigs (full download should be 5.3). If I try to retry the download it just immediately fails and deletes the .part file. Why?

Hi, i am on linux an Firefox 115.0.2. Every supported website appeared in dark mode because of my preferences in the firefox settings respectively about:config layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override is set to 2 and my system mode is dark. (0 and 3 changes nothing) Since some time this settings does not work anymore. The only thing i have changed is: about:config - privacy.trackingprotection.enabled set to true So now all the websites appeared in dark mode now appear in light mode. Chrome shows all these websites in dark mode. (But of course thats no option :-)) An Example: reddit.com: before: dark, now: light mode, Chrome dark mode. So please help! regards, awilli

Hey there!

Since the newest update (I think), whenever I select multiple tabs and attempt to open a new one via pressing the middle mouse button (or the MMB together with shift), the new tab opens behind the current open tab instead of the marked tabs.

For example: If I mark two tabs and have the left tab open, pressing the MMB on the + symbol would normally open a new tab to the right of those two tabs. Now, however, it opens the tab inbetween the two selected tabs.

Is there a way to change this back?

I run a local web server from my desktop PC. As the person running it, I access it only from my desktop PC, and only my account has a password. (All other accounts must be created by me, and have very limited access.) When I log in, Firefox whinges that it's not running on https, which is not my fault, as I didn't write this server. I cannot change servers. How can I prevent Firefox whinging about my lack of a secure (despite being local only) connection?

I have Firefox Forms and Autofill set up. I used to get fill in form suggestions when clicking on a field, but no longer.

it just occurred to me that maybe those suggestion were generated by Bitwarden?

Don't know what I did but somehow I moved my Open Tab Bar and it is showing under the Navigation Bar. I've tried the Customize Toolbar option but the TAB bars are not an option to move. How can I reposition Open Tabs?

Hi all, I use to update Firefox with my Linux distribution package: I build the new package then upgrade it on the system. Anytime at the first launch of the new Firefox just installed version, it opens a new blank profile instead of my usual profile. I can set my usual profile as default by launch Firefox Profile Manager. So after update I launch from command line terminal or through launcher bar:

firefox -p

And It starts up profile manager, then I choose my usual profile and check it as default one. After that, when I open Firefox again, it uses my usual profile as expected.

Now the question: - is there a way to automate this procedure so I have not to repeat it anytime after I update the browser?

PS. I noticed my "profiles.ini" file is populated with a lot of profiles sections, likely maybe anytime I update, a new one is added in here. I don't know if it is a regular behavior or not.

Hi! I just wanted to log out from Sync on another machine. I have a master password set. When i want to logout, it asks for the Masterpw. Anyone else thinking, this is bad, from a security point of view? Let's just say, you found a shady site or installed a shady plugin, or someone is shouldersurfing you maybe under pressure. The "Logout and delete everything" would not be possible without giving out your master PW seems a bit awkward.

Whenever I type something in the URL bar that starts with the word "amazon," instead of getting a Google search for what I typed, I get redirected to Amazon.com with whatever I typed as a product search. For example, if I type "amazon sucks" in Firefox's URL bar, instead of getting a Google search for the phrase "amazon sucks," I get an Amazon page with the word "sucks" pre-filled in Amazon's product search (and a screen full of socks).

I don't have a search keyword for "amazon" in my Firefox settings. As far as I can tell, no other magic word does the same thing. (For example, if I type "yahoo sucks" or "walmart sucks," I get the desired Google searches. I don't get redirected to a Yahoo or Walmart page.

How do I turn this behavior off?
