Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

Hello. I am using Linux Mint 21.3 cinnamon and Firefox 144.0.2 When I use Google maps and the yellow small pointer (cartoon) to go on a specific street, the window come black when shifting to street view. My only extension is disabled, hardware acceleration unchecked, cache cleared and cookies cleared. I have made fresh install and nothing help. Troubleshooting mode allow street view to work fine but normal mode don't work. Google chrome work good. Chromium work good. And finally, Firefox work ok on my Linux mint LMDE 6.

Any idea where to go to solve this issue?

Thanks for your support

[article] This article claims there is an "AI Controls" section in Settings. This is not found in v 147.03 (up to date) for Mac. Please let me know how to disable all AI in Firefox.

I went to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-backup] and under "Create a Firefox backup file" at step 3 it says, "Scroll down to Backup, and click Manage backup" but when I went there no such "Manage backup" option exists as you can see in the attached screen capture. So what gives? How can I "Create a Firefox backup file"? I am using Firefox v147.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Please instruct. Thanks RJB

As of 12/9/25, Firefox seems to now prevent Theme add-ons from working if there is a contrast setting configured in Windows configuration. (Version 146.0) Previously, this allowed a very aesthetically pleasing view. I would greatly enjoy having that option again. Thank you.

I do not want to search from the address bar. The search bar is what I want to go to but invariably goes to the address bar. Is there an about:config setting to change this?

Have recently updated Firefox and now I am not able to login to my Yahoo mail. I know it is not an issue with security on my PC as I can login no problem with Chrome and have tried with AV and Firewall turned off. Tried emptying cache etc but nothing worked. Eventually backed up bookmarks and passwords and deleted Firefox completely, including all files and profiles, reinstalled and still the same problem. Am running win7 and YES, I know this is not supported now but evertything was fine until new update.

After trying to log in it says 'something went wrong, try from a different device'. It works fine on my laptop with Firefox and fine on PC with Chrome so can only come to the conclusion it is Firefox update on PC. This is causing major problems now as can only access mail through Chrome and site links sent cannot be opened as passwords are saved in Firefox. Also have other work that needs to be urgently completed where I need to be able to use sites and mail on same browser.

Any ideas on what could be wrong would be appreciated as things are getting desperate.

Hello,

Thank you.

A heart has recently been included in the Firefox icon in my taskbar. What's the reason for it and what do I have to do so that the Firefox icon no longer has it? I've run a number of antimalware programs and they came up with nothing.
