Firefox dropdowns, menus and popup menus do not appear after resume from suspend on Ubuntu 22 or 24 This has been happening for only the last few weeks. Even dropdowns on web pages do not appear. I can click the dropdown and cursor down then hit ENTER to change a dropdown's value but I cannot see anything while I'm doing it. On the menus, I can use hotkeys if I remember them but the menus themselves do not appear. Right-clicking to get a context menu also does nothing but it behaves like it did. If I right click something, nothing changes on screen but if I then click another link or button, the first click is swallowed to dismiss the non-existent popup.

Other apps on the system work fine including Chromium browser.

This only occurs if I start Firefox then suspend the machine and then resume from suspend. After resume, the menus, dropdowns and popups no longer appear.

I am running Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS on a Dell Optiplex 3050, Core i3-7100x4 , 16 GB ram, Intel HD graphics 630 (KBL GT2), Gnome 46, Wayland windowing system.

I tried Firefox safe mode, clearing the caches, etc. Nothing worked.

I have had Firefox using autofill for credit card payments for years--just replace my iMac with a new Mac Mini, and the credit card info still pops up when I am making a payment, but it will not autofill.

Hello,

I have a situation - which I had previously researched and resolved - that has come back to haunt me.

I use an ultra-widescreen monitor and searching/browsing obviously necessitates a center-screen search box which, up until now, Firefox has provided cleanly and with simplicity. However, I see that (once again) despite cursor placement in the center-screen box the search text is being entered in the address bar which is wholly impractical for me since I have to look about 60 degrees left and upwards to see what I am typing.

I say "again" because when this happened previously I was able to make a config change and resolve it but despite that still being in effect - the ".handoffToAwesomebar" is still set to FALSE - search text now has moved back to the address bar.

A brief search of this community yielded no answers. Is there any other known fix or has this now be thrust upon us permanently and thou shalt adapt?

Thanks in advance....

When I click to save a bookmark, the menu that allows you to select the folder to save it to is no longer being displayed. If I click the save bookmark option again, it gives the option to edit the bookmark like it has always done. The bookmark menu then pops up and shows the bookmark is saved in whatever folder you had saved a bookmark in previously. I am on a desktop using windows 11. This has been happening for the last couple of days. I have shutdown the computer and also tried restarting but am still not able to see the selection box when saving a bookmark. I am also current on firefox updates and windows updates.

Hello Mozilla team, I am paying for Mozilla VPN with yearly subscription. Should I cancel my subscription with this free VPN? Or where is the difference?

Thanks very much in advance and best regards Karin

I want to setup the VPN in firefox but the instructions refer to the VPN icon which is not visible to me. When I try to add it to the toolbar the instructions say to click more tools from the menu at the top right, but there isn't a selection called more tools.
