Private Browsing does not allow logon connection to USAA.com (banking portal). I have to change my security settings down to Standard. Strict does not work. Vanguard and Schwab seem to work. Please fix this.

HTTPS://SECURE.SSA.GOV open okay but when go to next page to SIGN-IN, Firefox is blocking it as following/below. What the heck is going on blocking SSA Sign-In after main Website is already open ?!?!?!?!?!

After a recent update from Mozilla Firefox, I have these pop up windows that slide out from the bottom right of the screen of my laptop.

They stay there and interfere when I try to use the slider on the right hand side of the screen. Even inactivating my cursor. I have to click onto the pop up box to make it go away. Sometimes it takes me to a stupid article about Harry & Megan or some inane story.

How do I get rid of this? (I need step-by-step instructions please)

I'll NEVER upload another Mozilla Firefox update.

I might find another browser to use.

I have chosen a colorful garden theme for my new Firefox browser but now I can barely see my taskbar and any text above the taskbar. It is all very small and white. The main screen area below is white. I would prefer black thicker text for that area but don't see how to do that in any of the articles I have found. I don't want to make all my text bigger, just the Firefox specific headers. Can anyone help?

I have a PC desktop and laptop. Bookmarks have always been synced in the past. I have just been away for 6 weeks and added and changed many bookmarks on the laptop. I confess I do have a lot built up over the years. When I came back home I expected to sync as in the past without problem to the desktop. However sync wouldn't happen although both were ON and on same wi-fi. So I restored into the desktop a json file I had made on the laptop just before coming home. I also have a json file made on the desktop just before leaving.

Disaster. While all the bookmarks may be there on the desktop (I don't know) all the folders are now empty and all bookmarks are simply in one huge unusable list in the bookmarks menu. Same result with the desktop json file. It would take days to put them all back into folders one by one. Having tried various things now my laptop is the same !

Why did this happen ? How do I get the bookmarks back into all the folders ?

I just moved into a new Dell Laptop and downloaded the latest Firefox program and loaded it. I moved my Profile and all is good EXCEPT, the Home Page News Items listed on the previous Dell Laptop are gone. Running the same Virus Protection, I can't figure out how to get those news stories back. HELP!!

Recently, firefox added an annoying feature that throws unwanted popups into my face: Website translation.

I want it gone. I can't seem to find any switch to get rid of that garbage in the preferences. I'm not scared of about:config but the best I could find was a list of languages to never translate.

How do I globally and eternally disable website translations?

I still have no idea why Mozilla took away the ability to limit Firefox process, or any of the customization that was Firefox's selling point to users, but multiprocess is a detriment, not a boon.

How can I limit the number of processes? I can't do anything else on my computer when Firefox is using 50% of my CPU processing, even with only a single tab open.

No, I don't need to remove add-ons; I tried going that route, and even with no addons at all, there was absolutely no improvement on how many processes and how huge those processes are. I've had Firefox processes exceed 50 Gb, even on a single website with no images and no scripting.

If there's no way to drop the number of processes Firefox always opens, from 12, to no more than 3, you're going to lose a user that formerly depended on Firefox for well over a decade.

Firefox is no longer what it was originally. It's unrecognizable as the single most customizable browser there was.

the toolbar and tab bar are on the same line

and when i go to enter a site in the address bar the hanging results are shifted up i cant get to the top ones

i have a userChrome file

Just keep on doing what it is that you are doing.

I am rather old. I picked up Mozilla when it was on X 10. I do not have a complaint. Only dark mode. I had cataract surgeries, the plastic lenses now have cataracts too. Really! The WHITE screen is painful.

But, Firefox seems to work, and it works well. It is well organized, methodical, nothing to complain about. Yes, I am recognizing the spell checker. Yes, I am ranting. Yes, I am done!

Thank you!

I would really like to be able to use Reader View for saving web pages that I need to keep for my PhD research, but switching to Reader View seems to switch off my Evernote web clipper. Is there a way round this please?

Default browser is Firefox. When it is not already open and I click a link in email or Messages it open Google.com. It used to go directly to email link address. I am using Macbook Pro. I just downloaded Firefox 117.0 Was there a change in setup or Firefox 117.0?

Firefox effectively crashes every time they roll out an update. This has been going on for years and every option in the UI that seems to affect this behavior actually does nothing. The only solution seems to be writing some kind of JSON policy file that prevents automatic updates entirely. Why has this massive defect been present so long and why isn't the company interested in fixing it?
