Firefox Community Forum

Firefox is, without a doubt, the best browser I have ever used, and I mean it. It's privacy oriented, great GUI, and is overall customizable. But, there are definitely some things which need improvement ASAP, such as the following: When I mouse over the top of my screen, Firefox semi-exits full screen mode and displays the toolbar. It is extremely annoying. Please make this an option somewhere; for me, even a hacky fix will do. Please, just help me get rid of it. Thanks :)

It's hard to describe what I mean without an example. I type "tart" into the search bar, and instead of the recently visited Wikipedia page on tarts, the autofill suggestions are full of pages in my history with "start" or "starter" in the title, or even in the URL but not the title. Is there any way to change it so the suggestions only contain the exact words I've typed?

OS Version: Windows 11 Home, 23H2 Firefox Version: 127.0.2

I have several virtual desktops: Desktop 1, 2, 3 and 4. Case 1: Assume that there is at least one opening Firefox window in any virtual desktop. And, if I try to open a new window in Desktop x (x = 1, ..., 4), it will appears in Desktop x as expected. Case 2: Assume that there are currently no opening Firefox windows in any virtual desktop. And, if I try to open a new window in Desktop 2 or 3 or 4, it will only appears in Desktop 1.

For the past week, anything Google just refuses to load unless I clear my cache every few minutes. I open a new tab and type in a search and the tab does nothing. I try to open my gmail and the page won't load. And navigating the settings tab every few minutes is getting really annoying.

Since the latest firefox update, to clear history now, it has Clear site and download, saved form info, and searches all together now. There is no way to uncheck saved info and searches so that does not get cleared. Will there be a fix to this? There is no way to clear the history now without clearing the saved info and searches, which I do not want to do.

The fucking forced dark mode has return despite the previous fix layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1 in about:config fixing it for years. This and the current replacement fixes don't save. I want a solution for PERMANENT light mode (black text on white background) for ALL menus, pop-ups, dropdown menus and hover over tab info.

And don't tell me to go search for a different theme I've already spent hours doing that and firefox has broken them only making some menus use the appropriate mode. On top of that I can't even pick an option to search for one that uses light mode I just have to go through each one and try it if I want to know which mode it uses that is NOT a solution to anything.

Replacement "fixes" for reference: ui.systemUsesDarkTheme won't even let me set to 0 only has true/false browser.theme.content-theme set to 1 browser.theme.toolbar-theme set to 1 (Why in the absolute hell these were added when a simple addition to preference setting wasn't is beyond me)

Very sorry for the aggressiveness but I am so very VERY tired of having to fight firefox on this preferance for years when their dark mode hurts my eyes.

Hello support. Since your last update, the "Allow cookie" popup is no longer displayed in the Firefox incognito tab on our site which leads to all functions being blocked. We have tried to identify the problem, but on different computers with the same (current) version of Firefox, we have the result that sometimes the popup is displayed and sometimes not. Why does Firefox block our “Allow cookies” popup in the private window?

Hello, I have Firefox 128 installed on Window10 Pro v. 22H2 fully up to date. I have LastPass: Free Password Manager extension in my Firefox.

Up until 2 days ago I had an icon on my toolbar for the LastPass extension that I could click after opening Firefox to login to LP. It has worked fine for years. It was that way when I shut down my computer that night. The next morning when I opened FF, that icon was gone. LP still shows in my Add-ons manager as Enabled. To the best of my knowledge, nothing on my comp updated in that time period.

I tried clicking the 'Extensions' button in the FF toolbar, but all it did was to open the "Recommendations" tab of my Add-ons manager. Previously, clicking the 'Extensions' button in my toolbar would show a menu of extensions including LP. I would get an option to show an LP icon in my toolbar. That worked as recently as a few weeks ago when I wiped my hard drive and did a fresh install of Windows.

I tried removing and reinstalling the exension. It made no change. Next I fully removed Firefox with the Remove Programs option in the Windows control panel, then removed all traces of FF in my Windows user profile. Then rebooted. Then DL'ed Firefox fresh from the FF site and re-installed it. Twice. No icon shows up, and the 'Extensions' button continues to do nothing but send me to the 'Recommendations' tab of the add-ons manager.

I had a few other extensions installed as well as LP at the time this problem arose. But when I re-installed Firefox, I only installed LP and tried to get its icon showing before installing any other extensions, just to be sure there was no conflict.

Can you offer any suggestions to help?

Thank you.

My Environment: Host Machine - Intel Core i7-4771 @3.50GHz, 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 210 Display Adapter, Intel Gigabit Network Connection (ISP connection is around 700MBps).

OS - Windows 7 Pro V.22H2 Browser = Firefox ver.128.0.3 64bit.

Virtual Machine (VM) - Oracle Virtual Box Ver. 7.0.20 r163906, RAM = 4GB, Network = Bridged Adapter.

OS = Windows 7 Pro V. 22H2 Browser = Firefox ver. 128.0.3 64bit.

The Problem (In my VM only because I never browse sites on my Host PC): Toronto Sun website "Sign In" Screen never loads. A quarter circle just goes round and round. The website in question is - https://torontosun.com/sign-in/ The website itself does load fine and I can browse the site and all articles. But I cannot log into the site because the "Sign in" screen never loads. Also, Firefox tabs crash very frequently on this whole website.

Firefox is the only browser that I have on both my Host and VM (I have deleted MS Edge since it cannot be uninstalled).

On my VM, I tried installing Google Chrome and it works fine. The Toronto Sun Sign In page loads fine and I can log in.

On my Host PC, Firefox actually works. I tried it to see if the "Sign In" screen appears and it does and I can log in. It is only on my VM that it does not load.

What has Changed:

The Oracle Virtual Box software was just updated from ver. VirtualBox-7.0.18-162988-Win to ver. VirtualBox-7.0.20-163906-Win.

What I have tried: I have already done the following: Cleared - "Everything" including History, cookies, Temporary Cached files and pages and Site Settings.

I do not have any add-ons or themes installed.

I have cleared all Windows and User Temp Folders and files. I have rebooted several times in the past couple of days.

I tried increasing the VM RAM from 4GB to 6GB - did not help.

I would appreciate a solution.

Thanks very much. Kenneth

Version 128.0.3 (64-bit) What’s new Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint

When I visit a page which contains a Google Doc spreadsheet or try to open a Google Spreadsheet the page often fails to render properly and what I see is my desktop background instead of the Google doc element or Google doc sheet. Please see attached. This has been happening for ages and I resorted back to Chrome for such pages but now I'd like to see if it can be resolved.

I tried the troubleshooting mode, which turns off all the add-ons. Despite that, my Firefox still lags. For example, when I click on a new tab, it takes a couple of seconds to open. When I am typing, it takes a few seconds every now and then to catch up. Additionally, when I am scrolling, it will be unresponsive for a couple of seconds before jumping to where I supposedly scrolled to. I am using Mint Linux Firefox 128.0.3.

I got a new Macbook Pro recently and set it up by basically copying my iMac onto it. All works great. Except that the MBP doesn't show up with it's synced open taps on my iMac or my iphone. The iMac doens't show up on the MBP either.

Have I maybe copied some setting that makes the two machines (iMAc and MBP) thinkt they're one and the same? How can I "separate" the devices so that they show up in each other's Synced Tabs lists, respectively?

I have Firefox on 2 computers. One is for my wife. On her computer Firefox defaults to all my settings, including passwords and logins. When she tries to log into her accounts, like CC and banking, everything defaults back to my settings.

How can I set up Firefox on her computer with only her settings?

For a couple of days now Instagram linked videos won't play here. Actually some of them will -- my own reels and anything linked with that button that looks like a movie 'clapper'. But videos that show the triangular arrow pointing to the right, nothing happens when you click. Not sure if this is a FF issue or maybe something changed at Instagram. Did a google search and nothing came up.

I live in a rural area without cable or DSL broadband. Our only options are Satellite or wireless. The wireless version is either cellular or over the air microwave. We chose the over the air version with a dish about 18"

in diameter.  My ISP's network enters the net somewhere west of Fort Worth.  I am about 100 miles away.  Is there a procedure to manually set my location so the store and restaurant locations are relevant to me?  Thanks for the help.

I can't get firefox to play amazon music web page or netflix because it claims to be installing an app which it never completes. I've tried to purge cache for the site in question, to no avail. What is the solution?

Rootsmagic.com has a "Chat" button on the lower right corner of it's screens. Except I can't see it; Firefox seems to be blocking it. (At least that's what the Rootsmagic tech support people have suggested.) What do you have to say? (See: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.rootsmagic.com%2Fattachments%2Ftoken%2FbAIpWeRMk3nDQbdivWS3ALYfk%2F%3Fname%3DScreenshot%2B2024-07-29%2B114817.png&data=05%7C02%7C%7C3ebf325e256f401a929f08dcaff7e2b0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638578726398916673%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=rzVm4N4s9nl4dTAPx19GQYvKL8%2F6BE5QW39Srt0nNLs%3D&reserved=0https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.rootsmagic.com%2Fattachments%2Ftoken%2FbAIpWeRMk3nDQbdivWS3ALYfk%2F%3Fname%3DScreenshot%2B2024-07-29%2B114817.png&data=05%7C02%7C%7C3ebf325e256f401a929f08dcaff7e2b0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638578726398916673%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=rzVm4N4s9nl4dTAPx19GQYvKL8%2F6BE5QW39Srt0nNLs%3D&reserved=0)
