I have just had Windows 11 reinstalled on my Laptop, I synced everything over from my desktop but Setup VPN and Hoxx icons which would be with other add-ons are missing, I emailed both suppliers. I followed their instructions and found that both add-ons are enabled but no icons. I don't appear to have any overflow, no '>>' I tried uninstalling them but still no icons to enable me to use these.

I'm visually impaired and had originally used a CSS code to fix this problem, but that was a couple of years ago. I just upgraded to 131.0.3 (64 bit) and evidently, that wiped out all my CSS changes. I tried to use the about:config code to change it, but it no longer works. I managed to increase the icon size a little by changing the density to normal, then back to compact. Even on normal, it was all too small.

I don't want to use another profile, because every time I do, I lose so much that it takes me hours to reinstall it all.

Is there an easier way to do this? I've tried a couple of things suggested online, but they were old settings suggestions, and they no longer work either.

ALSO, I now have to use F11 full screen to be able to perform anything on the toolbars. Before this update, I could just move my cursor up to bring the toolbars down, and use the back arrow or refresh easily. Now, the toolbars immediately go back up and I have to use F11 to do anything. How do I fix this?

TIA for any help you can give me.

Hello. I got a new laptop (Windows 11) and have been trying to sign in to my main account for an hour. I can "sign in" with my email and password, and I get the account recovery code in my email. I then enter that, then I am immediately told that my account is "disconnected", even though by all other indications, I am signed in. I mean, I have to be signed in to create this post!

I read over other posts, and some of their issues seem to stem from something about their default profile. However, 1) I should still be able to sign in to a non-default profile, 2) I have been able to sign in to a different (student) profile just fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF twice now, with full deletion of profiles etc. And no luck.

Other posts have mentioned antivirus software interference, but that doesn't explain why my other (student) profile works fine.

Also, when I try to create a recovery key, I am presented with an "unknown error" screen. I have attached a screenshot of that.

At some point in the last few weeks -- possibly after an upgrade -- I've noticed that some websites such as the Washington Post and Fidelity can take minutes rather than seconds to load. The problem doesn't seem to be with the sites themselves (because they load fine on Chrome) or with my hardware (because exactly the same thing happens on both of my computers). Has anyone else noticed this?

( I'm running Firefox 131.0.3 on Windows.)

As of the lastest Firefox upgrade Pinterest is completely broken. When I log in the home page loads, but all instead of pictures I see colored boxes. The only images I see are the animated ads, they show fine. In other words, the opposite of what I want. I am only using adblock origin as an extension. I have cleared website data, clicked the shield to stop blocking, and rebooted firefox in safe mode yet the problem persists. Every other browser I have can show pinterest just fine. Safari and Chrome have no issues, only Firefox. I am using Firefox 131.0.3 on MacOS Sonoma 14.7.

Certain websites I visit will fail to display custom fonts, unless I clear cookies, where it works fine until I refresh the page, either by signing back in, or reloading. the screenshots I have are of https://developer.android.com/studio/install this is one of the sites that gives me the issue. I have tried disabling all of my extensions, and it still doesn't fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

Hope this message finds you well.

I am presently having trouble loading websites and speed times are very slow.

Been using firefox for 7 years and never had an issue on linux versions. Though on macos I seem to be having these slow load times.

Also rendering images and content takes quite a while to do this.

I am currently running Firefox 131.0.3 (aarch64)

This is on a iMac m3 running Macos sonoma 14.6.1

I have compared this with safari and chrome and it seems to be much better.

Is there a test I can run to see if everything is okay?

thanks for making the best browser ever!

Best always

Benji

How to search for installed (both enabled and disabled) addons extensions in Firefox browser like chrome does via "chrome://extensions/" in 2025?

It is quite surprising that in 2024-25, firefox still doesnt have any option to search for installed addons via "about:addons". You can only search for addon site, not for those installed on your device and profile and browser.

Is firefox team really updating their browser for 2025 when compared to chrome?

How to change home page and new tab to desired URL or any extension of Firefox desktop in 2025?

I am unable to find any way to change how my new tab should look when I click + sign or new tab is opened up on browser opening or re-opening unlike Chrome.

I hate the change of position of typing from the search bar on the current new tab to the URL bar (unseen or unheard in Chrome) that Firefox implemented without considering users who would detest it.

Using Firefox 131.0.3 (64-bit)

I'm experiencing a relatively new issue where mono audio in Firefox only plays out of the left channel. The same sources play out of both channels in Safari. I'm on MacOS 14.6.1, Firefox 131.0.3. Any help is appreciated - thanks!

I recently updated to Firefox 131.0.3, having signed out of my Firefox/Mozilla account. Now I am trying to sign back in. After a seemingly successful sign-in (with email and pw, followed by "authorization code"), I'm taken to my account page. Scrolling down to Connected Services, I can see a recognizable account name (my Windows 11 user name and the name I've assigned to my computer). But looking up at the account button at the top right of Firefox, I see a small yellow triangle. Clicking on the button, I'm told "Account disconnected." (Remember, I'm currently looking at my account page, which says I'm connected.)

So I try to log in again. I give email address and password, and authorization code, and I'm in again. Now I see an addtional account connected, "Firefox 131, Windows 10" (remember, I'm using Windows 11).

So looking up again to the upper right at the account button, I see the yellow triangle, and clicking tells me once more that I'm disconnected, even though I have my account page open in front of me.

All of this, of course, prevents me from having access to the sync function. I've been through this circle several times with the same strange results.

Anyone have any idea what' going on.

Screenshot attached.

Thanks! Lance

I publish two mediawiki sites. http://wikidelphia.org and http://othernetworks.org

Both show up just fine for other people and for me when I access them with other browsers.

My problem occurs when I use Firefox to work on OtherNetworks. I'm going to try attaching screen shots of the Main Page. The first is from a normal view of my main page taken with another browser. In this shot the graphic is on the right

The second one is the same page taken with Firefox as the browser. I can't even figure out how to describe what is wrong with that second display.

I'm wishing for someone to figure out what is going on here and tell me how to restore FireFox so I can use it to work on my website. Is there some setting in Firefox or in the OtherNetworks site that is causing the awkward layout when using Firefox. I'm rather dependent on the bookmarks in Firefox.

Please call me or write if you would like to help me.

Cannot play sounds (videos) on Firefox. Can on other browsers. Went through suggested solutions, nothing worked. Firefox recently sent out an update. I downloaded it, didn't change anything.

There are 4 toolbars at the top of the Firefox screen. The default order from top to bottom seems to be:

 Menu bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar
 Bookmarks bar   (which Firefox apparently calls "PersonalToolbar")

I would like to move the Bookmarks bar above the Tabs bar so the order is;

 Menu bar
 Bookmarks bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar

I tried to use ChatGPT to accomplish this. After well over 6 iterations, I gave up (ChatGPT was still going strong - hallucinating?). The only code in userChrome.css that accomplished this is shown below. Unfortunately it leaves the order as:

 Bookmarks
 Navigation
 Menu
 Tabs

Can a human expert help me where ChatGPT failed? ___________________

/* Move the bookmarks toolbar above the tabs */

1. navigator-toolbox {

   display: flex;
   flex-direction: column-reverse;

}

I set passcodes in Firefox for Atlantic Health MyChart & MyChart RWJBH & I need to copy need to my Passsword App in MacOS Sequoia. I tried To Copy/Paste them, but it didn't work. What do I need to do to get them added to the Mac Password App?

I keep a lot of pinned tabs, and one of those is my gmail account. After I delete cookies, I go to that tab to sign back in, and it opens another tab, causing me to have to pin and move the second tab and then delete the original tab.

Sometimes I'm taken back to login even after I've just left gmail for checking messages. Sometimes I can click and hold the back button and reopen it on an already sign-in instance of gmail, but not when I clear cookies.

This doesn't happen for any other site, just gmail. How do I fix this, or is there no fix?

Hi,

My mic will not connect to anything with firefox. when on the individual web pages it says mic is allowed but the websites won't detect any microphone. i've tested this with discord and a handful of voice/pitch training websites, the results are always the same. it says the mic is allowed but the website won't pick it up

i've tried clearing my cache and the other recommendations i could find online like allowing autoplay, it still isn't working. i am on a mac using an external microphone and i've already made sure firefox has all mic permissions and that the mic works by testing it in the apple mic test thing as well as with other applications. this problem only comes up with firefox. i also disabled any privacy/security addons (i have ghostery, privacy badger and ublock origin, all currently disabled)

this is very frustrating and i truely don't know what to do about it, any advice would be greatly appricated
