Firefox will not show my Bookmark tab. It says another program is using a Firefox file. Did this security hack come from Microsoft overnight and I might expect a download to fix it.

I have private browsing disabled on Firefox but there is a way to still use it via Ctrl +H , right click an item and there is dropdown of "open in private window" and it works. However I have no other way to open private windows since I blocked it. Also when I Ctrl+T in the private browser, it says this is disabled.

Therefore this option in Ctrl+H right click menu should not be there and I don't recall seeing it before. Maybe a bug with a recent Firefox update.

Does anyone know what has happened or how to remove this option?

Thank you!

Wacom tablet click+drag does not work on Gnome48+Wayland

Hi, I am writing from a fresh Nobara 42 install, using Gnome 48 and the default Wayland session. Firefox version is 144.0.2. I'm not sure this is the proper channel to report a bug, I expected a more standard form. Please redirect me if you know of a better place.

Essentially : click+drag using the tablet doesn't work, be it on web content or on the GUI. When I click+drag to move a tab, the rab is ripped off into a new window as soon as the drag event begins. This happens with both regular & vertical tabs. Simply clicking tabs -without moving the pen enough to trigger a drag event- activates them normally. Click+drag on a bookmark or history item does not work either. When doing so on a bookmark folder, it seems to be always registered as a click, and it consistently triggers the opening/closing of the folder, regardless of the distance traveled by the pointer between the press event and the release event.

Exception : click+drag to select text works fine. However, click+drag to move that text into the address bar to look it up does not work. The text stays selected, the pointer icon doesn't change to indicate that something is being dragged.

Note : I am using the terms "press event", "drag event" and "release event" liberally here. I don't actually know how this all works, it's magic to me. But I felt like this was the most straightforward way of communicating what's happening.

I have a mouse to the side, that I use only for this. But it would be nice to be rid of this necessity. Any help is welcome! Thank you.

Certain PDFs only allow page view when opened in Firefox. When opened with other PDF viewing software or browsers (Microsoft Edge, Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome), these PDFs allow continuous scrolling. I don't have this issue for most PDFs.

I've tried fixing the problem by editing the PDF settings in Adobe Acrobat but to no avail. When combining a PDF that works fine with a PDF that doesn't allow continuous scrolling in Firefox, it seems to take on the settings of not allowing continuous scrolling.

Examples (these link to documents from a Florida public document database): Example 1 (made with Power PDF Create) Example 2 (made with Adobe PDF Library): https://depedms.dep.state.fl.us:443/Oculus/servlet/shell?command=getEntity&[guid=5.506115.1]&[profile=Cleanup_Remediation]

Hello! I have a problem with GeForce NOW in Firefox. When I launch any game, the cursor freezes and does not move inside the streaming window. Outside the GeForce NOW window the cursor works normally.

Details: - Only happens in Firefox - Other browsers work fine - Cursor gets stuck right after entering a game - OS: Linux (Arch)

Is there any fix for this? Maybe it's related to pointer lock or hardware acceleration settings?

Whenever I try to open firefox it automatically opens google chrome, I haven’t used chrome for over a year and i’ve set firefox as my default app for everything. I double checked the shortcut to make sure it’s going to the right place and it is. and i’ve tried deleting Chrome via Revo Uninstaller but the issue persists.

this wasn’t happening 5 minutes ago and i can’t exactly think of a reason for the change.

Dear Community: What settings can I use so that the sites I continually use recognize me. I have to sign into my email many times a day and also to the New York Times Games which I subscribe to. Is there a way to allow these sites to recognize me without having to go through signing in each time. Even if I log out and a minute later I need to go back on. I have to go through the rigamarole of signing in yet again.

I do not have to do this on my phone as the sites recognize me. I used to be able to do this on this computer also now I can no longer do it. I believe there is something in Firefox settings that is causing this but I don't know what it is or how to change the settings that are causing this.
