Firefox Community Forum

Hello, using Windows Version 22H2 (Build 19045.5965), Firefox 139.0.4, Thunderbird 139.0.2, I can drag multiple emails from Thunderbird but not drop them into Firefox (the stop symbol appears and does not let me finish the action). However, dragging and dropping single emails does work. Firefox does not understand the imap address but the drop is registered which is all that is relevant to me. Is this a bug/missing feature in Firefox or a problem with Thunderbird and Firefox on Windows? Or is there a way to do it by simply adjusting (preferrably very few) settings? Dragging and dropping multiple emails using Thunderbird and Firefox on Linux Mint works fine. Dragging and dropping multiple emails from the Windows Explorer to Firefox also works fine. In testing, the issue only arose using Thunderbird + Firefox, Chromium-based browsers also worked fine with Thunderbird. If this is the wrong forum to ask such a question because this should rather be in a bug tracker or something similar, please let me know. If this should be on the Thunderbird thread instead of Firefox, also let me know. Thank you for your help.

Clearly your crappy browser system won't stop crashing my tabs with its stupid updates randomly out of no where while I'm in the middle of working on something. I can't even report bugs in games anymore because I go to pastebin to post a crash log, and firefox decides to say 'RESTART FIREFOX TO CONTINUE USING' for no reason. I am very angry, this happens so often its ridiculous. I have updates set to "check and choose" and yet your browser keeps crashing all tabs all windows telling me to restart to continue using, and only today did I realize it said it was related to an update. This is unacceptable behavior. This browser is becoming unbearable. Crashing/updating in the middle of my work is very bad, and this is getting old. Obviously this time it was an unwarranted update, who knows if my browser has even been crashing at all. Just keeps getting disabled for your forced updates. I need them disabled, NOW. I choose when to update. NOT YOU.

When I go to view an already open tab it will sometimes randomly move it to the very end of my tabs all the way to the right. I don't want it to move tabs without my intervention. Clicking on a tab should keep it in place.

This has been an issue for about 2 months now. I'm not sure what's causing it or even if it's entirely a Firefox issue as I have noticed something similar happen in another program with tabs that I use often. It still seems like a Firefox issue in that moving a tab all the way to the end is a very specific task that can't normally be done accidentally.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening or has anyone figured it out?

Recently, every time I click anything, even to open my email messages, new junk tabs open in my browser and it automatically takes me there. It takes forever to do anything. I looked at my security and it seems fine as always. This has to stop soon or I need a new browser and I've loved this one for years. SOS

Hi,

I need help resolving an issue related to browser navigation and the popstate event.

Here's the scenario:

• The user starts on page-1.html.
• They click a button, which navigates to page-2.html.
• When the user presses the browser back button (without clicking any button on the page), I want to trigger a JavaScript popstate event automatically.

Currently, I'm doing the following:

• When the user arrives at page-2.html from page-1.html, I show a popup.
• When the user closes the popup, I manually push a state using history.pushState() to create a backward URL entry.

However, my client’s requirement is to trigger the popstate event without requiring any user interaction on page-2.html, i.e., as soon as the user presses the back button.

Is there a way to programmatically achieve this behavior (ensuring the popstate event is fired) without requiring the user to click anything on page-2.html?

Any guidance or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello, I don't know what is going, but pages just can't opens. Mozila only working 2 minutes after rebooting PC, and after this don't work again. Internet connection is good. Thanks for help.

In the last month or so I'm having an issue where using autofill multiple times on a web form causes some of the autofilled inputs to disappear.

For example, if I autofill my contact info first, when I go to autofill my payment information, my contact info disappears. If I try to re-autofill my contact info, then my payment info disappears.

The lost autofill inputs still leave behind yellow boxes as if still containing the autofill text, but the boxes are empty and submitting forms like this will fail, so I'm certain the autofilled information is being removed and not simply going invisible or something.

why does firefox blocks incoming http conection to localhost:8080 when I try to obtain a google oauth2 token using oauth2.py ?. The Google server returns the token via http to loaclhost:8080 and the port is blocked by firefox.

Why after the most recent update to version 139.0.4 64bit does any Google search result page on Firefox now use 110% cpu according to about:processes? This isn't the first time a Firefox update has caused this to happen on my computer either. It causes extreme system lag until I'm able to close the Google search result page in Firefox, then everything returns to operating normally. In the past subsequent Firefox updates have resolved the issue but it can sometimes be a while before the next update is released and that one is not always the one that fixes it. Is there something I can do resolve this without having to wait for future updates to be released?

bold text I did something that made my FoxFire window cover 1/3 of the total window on my MacBook Air. It used to cover everything except the bottom and top bar. How do I get it back?

Until recently Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab have work perfectly. Now they do not work at all. Ctrl+Page Up (and Down) works fine.

I have used safe mode, rebooted the computer, checked the general settings in Firefox and the problem persists. What can be done to resolve this?

When I sign on to AOL, Mozilla suddenly starts sending pop-ups on the right side! I keep clicking them off but another appears a second later. I get the full block full of notifications numerically which I watch and click on the ones I am interested in. These pop-ups are SO annoying and I dont know how to get rid of them. I've been with mozilla/aol for over 20 years and now that I have a new computer with windows 11 - I'm stuck! Please help

As the title says, firefox keeps reenabling delete browser history when firefox closes on its own. After an update yesterday it seems to have reenabled it AGAIN. Back in May near the end of it it also reenabled itself and deleted years of firefox history out of nowhere and I never knew it did so until the next morning when I went to go to a specific part of a site I frequent only to find when typing out the keywords to it, didn't exist.

Found it reenabled itself on its own. Disabled that, and got some semblance of my history remembered again into the system. Made a backup copy of history to some degree into a copy of the places.sqlite file. Yesterday firefox updated again. Closed it last night when i shut off my PC to go to bed and this morning when I opened firefox, I find all my history is gone AGAIN. See delete history when firefox closes is reenabled once more on its own without my permission barely 3 weeks later. I then try to input the backup places.sqlite i made a few weeks ago as well and it gets overwritten by an empty one after I input it back in and open firefox.

I've tried searching for why and how this keeps happening. But every time you search anything on this topic its nothing BUT how to ENABLE the setting, nothing about it auto reenabling and how to stop it or what could be causing it. Web searches are legitimately 0% useful because its just nothing but one sided search results repeating the same thing ad nauseam.

I am running Nightly 141.0a1 on macOS 15.5 When I two finger tap on a thumbnail image I see the first option is "open link in new tab" and when I choose it, it does as it says and opens a new tab, at the link, in the background. When I need to do this many times, to save a couple of taps, if I Command single finger tap on the thumbnail then on most sites that same thing happens. My problem is that on some sites this doesn't work. What I get is the link opens in the current tab and a new tab is opened in the background but it shows Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost.

Is this the particular site messing with Command click or is there a setting I can set that fixes this?

Thanks

So, my problem is with HW acceleration in FF. Basically:

If its enabled: It causes graphical artifacts in videos [See screenshot]. If its disabled: It brings screen tear in to videos and autoscroll [Like if Vsync is disabled in games].

I tried safe mode, I tried reinstall of FF, I tried disabling and enabling extensions. I tried to set Vsync on in Nvidia control panel... the only thing that impact those bugs is HW acceleration in FF.

My drivers are up to date, my browser is up to date, yet there is such trouble.

Any ideas or solutions?

I have chosen a theme to set on my browser, from Firefox's addons / themes shop, however when I restart Firefox, the colors from Firefox colors overwrite the theme. It's weird because when i got to the themes page it still shows as enabled, and I need to disable and enable it again. I'm using Firefox Browser 139.0.4 (64-bit) And Windows 10
