Firefox Community Forum

The task bars on the top keep disappearing from my screen whenever I move my mouse away from hovering over them, I want to know how to stop and to keep them constantly on the screen at all times.

after the changes in firefox 131 the following pref no longer hides tab manager:

user_pref("browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled", false);

To further clarify, tab manager is the arrow button (or the new icon in firefox 131) besides the minimize button of your firefox window. I want to hide that.

After the most recent update of FF on Mac OS Sequoia, suddenly I am no longer able to login to either of my routers, because they require http and FF keeps forcing https.

This results in no login gui but instead an ‘unable to connect’ error message.

I have researched and tried every conceivable fix and nothing works (settings, about:config, cookies, cache, all of it.

I would have expected that simply adding exceptions in settings would work, but it simply doesn’t.

I can login via Safari, so this is clearly a FF issue. It even happens in Safe Mode.

Kind of at my wits end. Anyone have a fix.

My links on Firefox worked until I upgraded my Mac OS to Sequoia 15. Now the browser does not even get active and keeps buffering. Where is the problem and what can I do to solve it?

Thank you!

A white horizontal line in the top of the screen, whilst watching movies in tv5mondeplus.com. This issue happens when installed the recent update 129.0.

Tested in other browsers and doesn't appear the white horizontal line on top.

I have what i am sure is a common scenario, a work pc (mac) and home pc (linux), and I want to have a work profile and home profile that are independently synced across those PCs.

It's no problem to setup sync for the work profile but while setting up sync for the home profile it seems firefox doesn't grok that the home profile already exists and treats it like a new mozilla account.

In debugging this issue (and the "Primary account email required for sign-in" issue, which prevented me from signing in at all) i've come across numerous articles that imply this basic home<->home work<->work sync across 2 devices does not work with firefox. Is this the case? this is a basic (IMO mandatory) requirement for a browser in 2024 and even the difficulty of setting this up is super jarring coming from Chrome.

Opened the brower today, and it feels like my entire browser i flipped. Its not unusable, but my hard-coded default actions like going backwards and forwards being on the left, makes it VEEEEEERY hard to use. And idk what happened. So if you could please help me swap it around again, that would be sincerely appreciated.

Your present published results do not solve the problem.

Why, when I try to go back to a duckduckgo.com page, do I get this message and how do I resolve the issue? What makes duckduckgo a sensitive document? This started recently. I had no issues before.

Document Expired This document is no longer available. The requested document is not available in Firefox’s cache.

   As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.
   Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website.

How can I remove monitor, relay, mozilla vpn from the Account drop down menu. See attached example.

The ONLY reason anyone goes further down this menu is to get to the other tabs on other devices. These things, on especially my super small laptop screen, only get in the way.

Any way to stop showing these in this menu?

I really appreciate your time and help. I understand Mozilla's want to promote these, but come on, get this crap out of the way.

Uh - there's no topic for bugs... need one of those.

Seems that somewhere along the line Sidebar setting no longer persistent. The problem is that after I use the sidebar to view history, dismiss it when finished and then close FF the setting that the sidebar should show history when it is opened is not retained by FF. So the next time FF is opened, the sidebar is not showing. When the sidebar is opened, it shows bookmarks rather than history.

This needs fixed. And while you at it make a configuration key for it in the about:config page. Seems simple enough. Ya know back when I started with all this PC crap in the 1980's things worked. Now, not so much. To much man-bun, java jockey pitiful python pirate for me.

Sad to see how convoluted this all got. All because no one can write good, low level code. Really sad.

Hello: FF dev 132.0b2, w11p. It's become wacko.

I don't know the cause. My guess as to what I see: FF has gone into permanent troubleshoot condition. Help menu seems to say it's not there, but this is

What I have:

-black theme -limited address bar, most of my items absent -NO items in bookmarks bar -NO extensions

What I want (what was there before) -ALL of the above (full items I put in address bar, including ghostery, bitwarden and all other -ALL extensions -my chosen theme (a light one)

What I did:

last nite: 2 oct, I hit the restore button in help menu, troubleshoot item. IT WORKED!

What happened next today, 3oct, I go to "america cares. org" site, and all of a sudden the "what I have" Firefox (as above) has taken over. -Hitting the restore in the help menu did NOT fix this time.

What's next:

-- do I try to restore a previous dev build version? Just follow the Moz instructions?

I did, last night, add a stable FF (in addtion to dev build, not replacing, in its own separate folder). Since the dev build was working again after refresh last nite, I removed the stable using Revo. Do I try that (again)?

Thank you.

Since today there is a severely unwanted feature included in firefox: the list all tabs button. It is ugly, bloated and gets in the way. There does not seem to be a reasonable way to remove this "feature".

I find the inclusion exceedingly intrusive and grating. How do I roll back to a previous version of FF? I was quite happy with my minimalist bars and this button takes up an excessive amount of space without providing ANY useful function. Preferably I would be allowed to remove the button entirely, but until then I would like to look at a UI that doesn't take up excessive space for no reason.

Focusing on making my experience with Firefox worse is not a winning move.

I often use the Sync function to bring open tabs over from my smartphone to my desktop computer. I have noticed over the past month or so, this functionality has become increasingly unreliable and sometimes does not function at all. At the moment I have no synced tabs showing on my desktop. I have signed out and back in to Mozilla on both my smartphone and desktop multiple times, checked the sync settings, and nothing seems to resolve this. There have been a couple Firefox updates on both the desktop and mobile side, none of which have changed this behavior.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? What other trouble shooting steps can I perform? Any help is much appreciated.

Desktop FF version: v131.0 Mobile FF version (Android): v130.0.1

So I just saw the List All Tabs button has come back, and I looked up to remove this, but doing the whole thing of setting the browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false in About:config, did not work. I just updated to version 131.0 of Firefox. Any idea why this thing is refusing to leave?

Good morning,

We are seeing that the key "DisableAppUpdate" being set to TRUE in about:policies. Not sure why this setting is being set. The result of the setting is "Updates disabled by your organization". So we cannot manually update firefox and are not sure why the setting is being set.

We used Procmon to capture logs:

Line 5169544: "2:29:45.2062951 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169546: "2:29:45.2063211 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169547: "2:29:45.2063338 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169548: "2:29:45.2063563 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1"

Is there anything in Firefox that can trigger the setting of this key?

There used to be an option for a separate search window on the address bar. I found it really useful especially for a instant spell check. The option was there then after an update, it wasn't. WHY WHY WHY????? Is there any way for me to put it back? I hate using the address bar to search! Unless I open a new tab or window, regaining control of the prior tab/window is difficult.

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b2 (64-bit) and noticed that the only way to open a new tab is to click on the pancake icon and select new tab. The "+" icon in the tab bar is missing.

I also noticed that there is no way to reload the page (especially doing a hard reload). This is a major issue when making updates to websites and wanting to see those edit. Clicking in the address bar and then on enter will reload the page, but does not do a hard reload, so the cached version of the page is displayed, not the updates.

Hi,

I'm using an online phone system which comes as a mini-window (see picture). Is there a way that I can make this 1 mini-window with the phone in it stay always on top of my other firefox window?

Many thanks,

Leon
