Firefox Community Forum

Hello everyone. This is more of a review, because it is impossible to get help from these forums, effective help (judging by the AI-based answers) And it is impossible to write a review or suggest an idea, since the site does not open, which is ideas. Maybe because I'm from Russia. About six months ago, very serious problems started with the browser. I have Windows 11, a completely modern computer, and Kaspersky anti-virus. And the problem arose like this, from time to time, the browser began to multiply images in the tab, i.e., a random part of the image in the browser appeared instead of another element. And gradually the whole tab turned out to be in the form of a puzzle. This was accompanied by an actual system freeze, treated by logging back into the Windows profile, or rebooting, in the worst case. Simply put, the browser began to produce completely incomprehensible errors. And if it didn't bother me too much at first, I logged back in and that's it, in recent weeks the error has started to occur even during active browser use (it usually started after half an hour of inactivity) In recent weeks, the puzzle in the tab has appeared quite insanely often. By the way, there are no messages on this topic on the Web at all. And it's impossible to take a screenshot of the error, as the system was barely working at the time. As a result, I just reinstalled the browser, once again losing a huge number of open tabs (there are, of course, more than a thousand in the log, but there is no option to Open them) The ways to save sessions from the forum do not work at all, the extension of the Tab session manager did not work

And the review, in fact, was once a beautiful Fox, now it's not even a competitor to chrome. Which allows you to save data and restore it without unnecessary problems. I have installed Mozilla Firefox again, but all data will now be backed up in Chrome. Mozilla Firefox is just for surfing the Net. I would like the developers to think at least a little about user convenience. By making it convenient to work with data backup and recovery. And to make it work at all. By the way, the topics that AI advised me to read in the Firebox problem solving search rarely have more than 52% positive reviews. Is the browser really so poorly made, by modern standards, that almost half of users can't figure it out? And even tech support itself gives out standard tips that can't help.

This is my last message here, there's no point in answering.

(RU)Вопрос и предложения

Здрасьте дорогие разработчики

у вас есть функция, split-screen. Это круто! сделайте, пожалуйста, чтобы это могло включаться через контекстное меню(правая кнопка мышки), чтобы я навел мышку на ссылку и в контекстной меню выбрал этот пункт. чтобы я не через вкладки это делал, а через контекстное меню.

(EN) Questions and suggestions

Hello, dear developers.

You have a split-screen feature. That's awesome! Please make it accessible through the context menu (right-click), so I can hover over a link and select it from the context menu. So I can do it through the context menu instead of through tabs.

When I tried to log in to my account earlier today, I found that it was gone. I used my recovery key to create a new password and now lost all data, passwords etc. What do I do now? Why did this happen? I am not very computer literate but have tried all of the suggestions in your help forum and nothing works. Nothing has changed on my computer since my last login yesterday. Firefox is my home page and browser.

I was pasting in data from the internet into my spreadsheet and google sheets (or Firefox) is pasting in said data three times and it is driving me insane. I paste the raw values in a formatted cell, and rapidly it pastes correctly, but then pastes the original data/cell at least once if not twice. Like, say there's a green cell and I paste the values in it, and it works, but it then pastes the data OVER the cell removing the formatting. The worst part? It works correctly on chrome!

Anybody else having issues with this feature? It had been working well to send tabs from my tablet and phone to my desktop computer, which I have been doing due to the lame way that FF uses for filing bookmarks into folders on the mobile devices.

A few days ago I started seeing "unable to send" popping up after a delay, instead of "tab sent" which typically appears immediately. Sometimes, the tab is sent even though it says it wasn't and sometimes it will send it after repeated attempts, and other times it doesn't. My wireless network and ISP connection are high speed and reliable.

So far, the problem only appears when trying to send from mobile to desktop. Sending from the desktop to mobile seems to work fine. The problem started while using 147.0.4 and persists after upgrading to 148.

I would like to setup Firefox so it checks for updates and installs them during maintenance windows (overnight) and runs the updates as 'system' account.

I tried using the following GPO settings

Application Autoupdate Enabled Background updater Enabled Disable Firefox Studies Enabled Disable Telemetry Enabled Disable Update Disabled Don't Check Default Browser Enabled

This seems to create Schedule tasks in Windows task scheduler, but the tasks are running as previously logged on user accounts. which doesn't help us in this particular environment.

I know we can manually push out the latest version via creating new MCM application pushes but the amount of updates that are coming down is a labor intensive exercise and we don't have the budget for PatchMyPC

Please post any thoughts!

Pbold textage does not scroll. It doesn't even show the scroll bar

Hi! I got white line on the top of any pages. I see it for two my pc in firefox. Another browser has not it. How can i remove this bug? Please look the screenshot.

How do I get searches (my default is Google) to STOP going to the address bar? This started out of the blue and it is making me crazy. I don't want to be asked which search to use, and I don't want it to search in the address bar. I want it in the search box. Thanks.

As of recent I increasingly have issues with accessing websites, those websites previously (yesterday) worked fine on Firefox. Version is 148.0 on Mac 26.3 (Apple M3 Silicon).

Now it has completely stopped working. Only websites using direct IP-address still work, all others fail with "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.". Safari still opens the websites flawlessly.

Nothing has changed on the OS level or application level as no updates have been installed (no need, as everything is up to date). Antivirus is BitDefender with extension for Firefox enabled for already an extended time (year or so).

I tried disabling several dns.resolver settings as mentioned in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can. No improvement whatsoever.

I quit firefox, removed the cache manually and restarted while starting a new test profile, so completely blank. Issue is still there.

DNS Servers on OS-level are correct.

Version 148 was installed last night evening and as such could be the reason for the failure since it is basically the only thing that changed.

The small - apparently AI - summary provided at the top of a Firefox search always lists the identity of the sources where the info is found. Do any of the AI chatbots identify the sources where they found the info?

When copying from an outside tab then use paste value only into a Google Sheets tab, whether using shortcut or the drop down menu, it seems to first paste properly then show a "paste" dialog box that couldn't be removed. Any other input seems to paste again, taking from the last copy before the current one. Copying from another Google Sheets tab seems to have the same result but instead of the dialog box, it double paste, as described previously, immediately. Testing in Chrome seems to work as usual and clearing the cache has not help. Issues seems to arise since the latest update to Firefox.

I have a mac mini, and i use firefox, when i open the app the window fills about 3/4 of the screen i use the arrows to expand the side and bottom to fill the screen (not full screen mode) just wanting firefox to open and fill the screen in general.

Once i expand the sides and bottom to fill screen i close and reopen fireox but it wont retain that size, so i see my desktop on the right and bottom areas. I thought by resizing closing it would retain that upon re opening, but it doesn't.

I dont want to be in full screen mode i just want when i open firefox for it to fill the screen and keep my top bar and whatnot in tact, is there something in settings or with key strokes via mac that I can do once i manually adjust the screen size so that it retains that size?

My current display settings are 1920x1080 if that matters and mac os tahoe with firefox 148 installed.
