Firefox Community Forum

Hello support:

There used to be a circle Icon at the upper left part of the Firefox window, between the forward and backward arrows and the URL and inquiry bar.

It's missing.

How do I get it back?

Thanks

Larry

To install the ChatWait extension on an Android tablet, first open the Firefox browser. Visit the official website of ChatWait and check whether it supports your browser. If it is compatible, follow the instructions to install the extension. If it is not supported, try using a compatible browser. Finally, open the extension and follow the setup instructions.

更新v158.0.1版本後， 蝦皮訊息、Facebook右邊彈出訊息都會常常無法顯示，Facebook 、Youtube上傳影片、圖片容易失敗

Subject: Multiple display and upload issues after v158.0.1 update Description: After updating to version v158.0.1, I encountered the following issues: • Shopee: Chat messages frequently fail to display. • Facebook: Pop-up messages on the right side of the screen often do not show up. • Facebook、Youtube Uploads: Uploading images and videos frequently fails or gets stuck. These bugs consistently occur after the latest update. Please investigate these issues. Thank you.

Hello,

The built-in VPN in Firefox was working correctly before the update to version 158.0.1. After updating, it stopped connecting and displays this error: “Couldn't connect to VPN. Try again in a few minutes.” The same error occurs in a private window. Troubleshooting already performed: DNS over HTTPS is off. Remote improvements are enabled. browser.ipProtection.enabled is set to true. network.proxy.type is set to 5. about:policies reports that the Enterprise Policies service is inactive.

Could this be a regression in Firefox 158.0.1? Please advise how to restore the built-in VPN. Thank you.

i need this site for visa application

the message is Seien Sie vorsichtig. Irgendetwas stimmt hier nicht.

Firefox hat ein möglicherweise schwerwiegendes Sicherheitsproblem auf indianvisaonline.gov.in entdeckt. Jemand, der sich als die Website ausgibt, könnte versuchen, Dinge wie Kreditkartendaten, Passwörter oder E-Mails zu stehlen.

Somehow I have two Fire Fox accounts in two of my emails as user names. This causes serious problems in syncing with all of my devices. In account manager, it will not let me make a change to the user name. How can I have the two merged?

My two user names are: dlawrence@mylawrence.info and dlawrence@neighborsmkt.com

Canadian provinces of BC, AB, and MB are all moving to new timezones on Nov 1, 2026.

Firefox still does not support any of the new timezones. This will break automatic timezone support for many applications, if not addressed immediately.

For the new timezone: Pacific Time (British Columbia): - Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone returns "Etc/GMT+8" instead of the expected value 'America/Vancouver' - new Date().getTimezoneOffset() returns 480 instead of the expected 420

There is only a few days left to address this issue. What is the rollout plan for the required updates?

Thanks.

Any time i try to watch a video on any website whether that's YouTube or any other social media this happens. Attached is a recording I made and put on YouTube to show you what I mean.

Unsure cause as not happening when using Brave. When right click on any site using Mozilla suddenly, the black writing must be white on white background as link still works but cannot read. What gives? Attached one example.

The problem of hanging on specific web pages but not always in the same place greatly increased 11/22/2026 running Firefox 115.38ESR under Windows 7 so I suspect that it is due to some widespread update and a new esr update is needed. 115.43.1esr did not help. Sometimes it happens while loading a page, sometimes when attempting to scroll the page and sometimes when entering data into a field.

Sometimes when viewing a page it skips to the bottom of the page. I try to use the slide on the right to control it but it ignors my mouse and drops to the page bottom. I try to restart the system and it does not help. Once it starts this dropping phase. I have to close the laptop and go about another task. This is most ignoring.

Из-за нового обновления «Nova» на вкладке приватного просмотра в Firefox появился этот значок; он смещает вкладки вниз, оставляя пустое пространство между вкладкой и верхним краем экрана. / Due to the new "Nova" update, this icon has appeared in Firefox's private browsing tab; it shifts my tabs down from the very top, leaving an empty space between the tab and the top edge of the screen.

When Firefox is opened, it reduces the size of the screen! I don't like this and probably selected this without knowing what it was doing. I want to go back to the original full screen! How can I make this happen?
