My COPY context menu item is greyed out randomly. I guess it's not an issue of websites preventing copying. Happens while visiting various websites.

There's an advice to refresh Firefox, but I want to keep my passwords and avoid setting bookmarks again or resetting UI items displacement, any advice? Bugzilla threads contain some fixes, but as I have up-to-date version of Firefox, the bug is still randomly present.

I'm trying to access my federal government account. They want me to verify my identity at verify.id.me. When I reach the point that it wants to see my ugly mug on camera it tells me there is no camera. I've given verify.id.me permission to use the camera in privacy & security. I can record a video with ffmpeg. What have I missed? I don't see any relevant errors in firefox's output. I'm trying in safe mode.

All 4 of my Firefox installations started sucking big time recently. Unbelievably poor performance loading pages, which was working super fast before. Never had such an issue, running on 4 different, high performance PCs and having same symptoms, where I have to wait for Facebooks posts to load for minute or so. Youtube stops playing in the middle of the video. In meantime if I try same pages on other browsers everything works fast AF. I'm on 1000Mbps connection at office and 500Mbps home. Noticed massive increase in RAM usage, which used to be around 3GB, it is now using 6+. What has happened ?

I logged out of my account on firefox and deleted all local data using the privacy settings, I then uninstalled Firefox (on my mac) and I was expecting my passwords to be removed.

I reinstalled firefox and the passwords were still there without me logging in to my account (sync). This is a big thing for me from a security perspective as it means the passwords to login were still left somewhere on my machine without my knowledge.

When you sign out of your account on firefox can you please make it incredibly obvious these are left somewhere and how to delete them / or even better make it default that they are removed from my machine during logout / removal of the app?

I have had a google account and a YouTube Channel (zoonotics@gmail.com) for decades. I recently added a new google email (drzoonotics@gmail.com) and accustomed my old YouTube channel for zoonotics@gmail.com with the new email, drzoonotics@gmail.com. On other browsers when I comment, the old YouTube account with the new email shows up as the commentor. Today, on my new Firefox browser.I discovered that the new email had created another YouTube channel which showed up as my ID for a comment on another YouTube channel. I deleted the new YouTube channel but, when I comment with the brand new Firefox browser, the old YouTube channel I deleted shows up. How can I correct that?

Hello! I want my address bar to be simply that - an address bar. I do not want to search from it, I do not want to run commands from it, I do not want to run shortcuts from it. I just want it to take me to that address - and if that address is not valid or available, I do not want suggestions or options. Just an address bar, nothing else. Is this possible? Thanks! -Doug

[I use firefox on Mac, Windows, and Android, but the issue seems to effect me mostly on Mac and Windows) I'm just guessing this to be a browse issue. However I won't miond the post being moved to a more relevant sub-forum.

I keep arriving at this solution when searching for a solution to the increasing number of sites using the irritatingly abused stay/leave page question-dialogue box which pops up when i want to leave a page. The common solution appears to be https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/23865 However, when this page loads, I just get an empty box which looks like one of those ones which normally contain scripts to run or stop running certain things, or even to add or embed items etc.

When researching I often need to load lots of pages top go through. however, when i then need to close them all, i end up manually having to complete these irritating dialogies which are OBVIOUSLY really meant for pages where you may be filling in a form, or editing something, and perhaps have not completed filling it in. However, many sites irritatingly abuse this and just add the feature anyway. It just tells yiou they are dodgy rather than trustworthy. Any up-to-date advice as on July 2025? Any trusted new extensions/addons for this as with auto-cookie form-fillers perhaps?

Recently, after the newest Windows 11 update, Twitch hasn't been loading correctly, the tab looks as if it finished loading, but the page gets stuck in endless loading, no other site has this problem, and it happens even opening links to Twitch channels directly. I've added and screenshot of the problem.

I'd love some help or at least know if this is a problem on Twitches end or not. Thanks.

Since the installation of the last 2 beta releases, the folder which I have selected downloads to be placed in is being completely ignored.

In FF settings, I have selected downloads to be saved to my desktop. FF ignores that and downloads all selected downloads to my Documents folder. This is not what I'm after and I didn't have this issue with the Beta versions before.

Are any other Beta users experiencing the same issue with the latset beta release?

I had a whole bunch of open Firefox tabs and tab groups all carefully arranged just the way I wanted, then somehow a couple of tabs got moved to a new window (don't know how that happened, I didn't click the "Move Tab" and "Move To A New Window" menu options), and when I was trying to figure out how to move them back (not possible, apparently) the original window got accidentally closed -- and with it all my tabs and tab groups! When I reopened Firefox they just weren't there. Aagh! Clicking on History just shows the last tabs I accessed, not the full arrangement of groups and the many other tabs I haven't accessed in awhile but want to keep at the ready.

Can I get all that back? Or was relying on Firefox to organize my online work a bad idea?

As of a few days ago (potentially coinciding with the most recent update?) I've had several websites become varying degrees of unresponsive when using Firefox while being connected to a VPN (Nord, in this case).

Some sites will load but then get throttled--i.e. YouTube will load and (usually) populate thumbnails, but clicking on a video will result in the video instantly dropping to its lowest available resolution, playing for a few seconds, and then stalling. Interestingly(?) if I try to watch a live stream, chat will be fully functional but the video will be unable to load. Other sites will load but then very quickly stop responding at all. Others are straight up just not loading period, while many others have no issues at all.

I've cleared my cache, deleted cookies for the affected sites, tried Firefox in a private window, tried Firefox with no extensions, and reinstalled both Nord and Firefox to no avail. All of the affected sites are fully functional so long as I'm not connected to a VPN, and are also fully functional on other browsers, even while connected to a VPN. All other non-browser related applications that require the internet are also unaffected, and my internet speeds in general aren't showing any issues.

I've been unable to find any other chatter about this anywhere, and I unfortunately don't have any other devices available to try and replicate the issues. I would not be surprised if it was one of those wonderful Me Exclusive DNS issues or something, but figured it was worth throwing out there.
