Have been unable to login to Spectrum using Firefox for some time now. Checked with Spectrum techs & they say the problem is with Firefox. Also having trouble with other streaming sites using my ID's & passwords. They all seem to work using Chrome. Can you please help get back to logging in with Firefox?

Hello, recently i reinstalled firefox and made a new profile from scratch because i thought the config: browser.search.context.loadInBackground did not work for me.

My problem: everytime i open a google tab (through context search or just a new google link) it opens in the background BUT then switches to it after like 1-2 seconds. this only happens with google links.

i have no idea what to do anymore, reinstalling did fix it till the last update i got today. now it is back.

I am trying to resolve an issue with my firefox browser for MAC OS. Everytime I close my screen to sleep and open it back up, the browser stays on time out mode. I have tried downloading the update, but it never seems to complete or fully initiate. I have gone to the mozilla website and downloading directly from there but the new download wont even let me log into my gmail.com using my biometrics. any ideas?

Hi!

My default search engine has always been Firefox for years. Since the last Firefox update, when I select + and get to a New Tab, the search engine changes to Google.

I am on Windows 10. I want the New Tab to stay with Firefox. Any tips?

Thank you for your help! TS

How should I fix the frozen browser. Firefox updated ok from another user account on this computer, though Firefox has always updated for all accounts on the computer when updated from any of the accounts. The installer tool got caught in a loop to install until it froze the browser on the third retry. What should I do?

Hello: Thanks for creating Firefox. This is my first question after more than a decade using it. I couldn't find proper information about this. This week Firefox started to show a tiny shopping cart icon over the task bar icon of Firefox (image attached). I don´t know what it's and I can't find the functionality that make that appear. So, How do I disable it? I use Firefox everywhere, and I don't like it, specially in my job's laptop as my boss can occasionally see it and it's obviously not work-related in my case. I use chatgpt to get answers and it points to a "Shopping Assistant" feature, but I don't find it. Is it related? The term is so common that I couldn't narrow down to my specific question (what is it and how to disable it)

I use windows 11 and 138.0.4 (64-bit)

Thanks in advance for help

I'm a therapist and within the last week (maybe since an update?) when I try to do a telehealth session from any website - Ensora Mental Health (my EHR), Simple Practice, Sessions by Psychology Today, Google Meet, Zoom - the client can see me but can't hear me, and I can hear them but can't see them (black screen).

I've checked all video and microphone permissions, Microsoft and all drivers are updated and mic and camera are functioning (they can see me). I tried changing the enhanced tracking to add exceptions for the sites (didn't work).

Please advise.

i have the same bug as described in this bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1946121

to put it shortly, after launching firefox, even when it goes to the "new tab", is always prompts for primary password. everytime. it also happens when i just go to a website like twitch. which im already logged into, it doesn't ask me to login on the website and firefox still prompts for primary password.

i am using windows 11, firefox version 138.0.4 (64-bit) my profile is synced with firefox. my windows machine does not have a password to log in. in the bug report they say it's solved with version 136.0.2 but obviously it still happens to me

i would really appreciate help fixing this because it's very frustrating.

Running Linux Mint 22 and FF 138.0.3. Normal practice is to leave 2 or 3 FF windows open on shutdown so the same windows and tabs will re-open on future boot-ups when opening FF. In the last several versions of FF as well as of the OS, those tabs appear on boot but display random text within a random tab for a given window. Also, the highlighted icon in the tray does not match the window that has opened. If I click and re-click the tray icons, they eventually display as expected.

The font is all garbled on Firefox on the latest version, and I can't even read the settings to see if I can fix it. Any ideas? I did an inspect and it says it's the "system UI" font, but every other app/browser is loading it fine. Help!

Running Linux Mint 22 on Dell desktop. On bootup, no bookmarks and message with link to restore them. Restarting computer sometimes works after multiple tries but often does not, currently on FF 138.0.3 but this problem has come up on several previous versions of Mint as well as FF. Now more frequent. No security or other software apps have been added or changed.

The last time I got the bookmarks to show I used the FF Save Bookmarks function to save them to a stick. That file shows on the stick as a .json file. Mozilla's choice, not mine. Manage Bookmarks in the hamburger menu generates a pop-up "Library" that will not access the .json file.

I have been through other threads about enabling the Roboform toolbar icon. It has been a couple of years, multiple windows 11 PC installations, fresh installation. No roboform toolbar icon to this day. After multiple failures, I came up with a crazy fix I should never have to do. I am using the Firefox password manager in conjunction with Roboform. Just plain crazy. Any idea what might be going I would appreciate. I will cancel roboform if the problem cannot be rectified. Thank you Jeff

I'm trying to have Google.ca as my homepage, but Firefox won't let me. It keep reverting back to Google.com Please help. Claude Hamel [edited] @gmail.com

Hello. I've created about 15 saved tab groups and would like to create many more, but the lack of sorting by name (and, some might like, last used) is a hurdle.

I've not found a way to sort these groups. Has anyone been able to or is it just not possible?

Thank you and enjoy a super day! 🌞
