See the image below, how do I prevent that black box showing up and showing anyone who uses my device my sensitive data? How is this not a common setting to be changed?

Very insecure and Horrible to have on by default. Recently switched to firefox from chrome because of security concerns but stuff like this is making me want to go back, because HOW IS THIS SAFE AND SECURE?!?!?!?

I've typed in passwords in boxes that arent really password boxes, and firefox has suggested my own password in plain sight like in the image below.

Strongly recommend firefox to not make this default and make it an accessible setting to disable because I've leaked my sensitive information to online calls because of this. This urgently needs to be addressed as a security concern. At least have a cogwheel button next to the black box to quickly disable this setting. Very very disappointed.

I use the Menu Bar and discovered that when I select History and then right click one of the entries it no longer shows the small window which allows you to Open in a New Tab etc.

If I use the 3 bar option on the right hand side to Open application menu, then select History, then right click an entry, the small window I mentioned above opens as it used to when using the Menu Bar.

I have attached screenshots showing the issue when using the Menu Bar and also when I use the application menu on the right.

I have been using the Menu Bar option for years now so I can only assume that this issue has arisen after a previous update.

I am currently running Firefox 140.0.4 and this issue is there even when I disabled all themes & extensions and when I ran Troubleshoot Mode!

Hopefully a simple fix will resolve this.

Literally every single extensions I try to download says Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt. I don't know why because I just downloaded firefox.

Version 140.0.4 (64-bit)

As the title states, if you have a private window open and you close your main (non-private) window and attempt to relaunch Firefox (mine is at the taskbar) you will then encounter a window with none of the previously opened tabs and simply a single fresh tab. This is despite having the setting to continue browsing where I left off in the settings ("Open previous windows and tabs") enabled. Luckily the lost window can be recovered by going to History -> Recently closed windows -> "___tab names____"

For some reason, when searching for information via google, their AI, which should give an extract on the search query, gives the error “Overview from AI is not available for this request”. And this error appears only in firefox browser. please help.

WHy does Firefox bypass turning a radio button to "black when clicked. Check boxes work! cut/pasting the url into EDGO works! NOTE TOO bad Mozilla does NOT have the feature to roll back to a PREVIOUS version! Stan Mlynarski

Hi Guys, I have used Firefox browser to open and use Yahoo Finance for many years without any problems. On Wednesday 16th July 2025, suddenly, I could not download any stock charts. At first I thought it was a glitch with yahoo itself. However after a lot of searching and frustrating trial and error I seem to have pinpointed the problem to my Firefox browser. These charts will open as normal in Chrome. I have refreshed, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox without success. Any ideas please?

Colin.

On two Windows 11 computers, the webpages only display as text now. On Windows 10, Firefox works normally. i.e.

I cannot find "Sync and save data" button in my mobile browser, making it impossible to sync the devices. The instructions provided by the settings lead me into the dead end.

Firefox has been my browser of choice for over 15 years. Recently, it has crashed on me, causing me to lose any work I was doing. At any time, I receive a notice at the top of the page stating that I'm not connected to the internet, accompanied by the Firefox Symbol. I have to restart, and then it holds for a bit before crashing again.
