Previously, I made a custom scale ".3,.5,.6,.7, .71, .72, .73, .74, .75, .76, .77,.78,.79, .8,.9,1," and thus using Ctrl + the mouse wheel allowed you to set any scale in this way, since when "Ctrl + mouse wheel" the page was scaled by 10% regardless of the values. That is, I could set 74% and use Ctrl + mouse wheel to make the page scale 64% or 84%, even without the available value. Now I can't do this because now my "Ctrl + mouse wheel" doesn't increase/decrease 10%, but just scrolls through the set values. How to get everything back? It's very annoying, I can't use it.

Firefox has "Open previous windows and tabs" ticked in Settings. I had to force restart MacOS, and upon starting Firefox again my existing windows are invisible. They are shown in the Window menu and when right-clicking the Firefox icon in the MacOS dock, however when I select one of the windows it does not become visible. Command+` does not show the windows either.

I can however open new windows.

I tried renaming xulstore.json per this old article with no effect.

How can I make the existing windows visible again?

Is there a setting to disable product update notifications?

For example, I got a notification on Windows today prompting me to try out Firefox's new split tab view.

I do not want to receive these product update notifications.

I know I can disable notifications in Windows at the OS level, however, this also disables notifications for all websites I have enabled.

Is there an option to disable these?

I have a gpu rtx 50 and recently decided to use rtx super resolution to improve watching online videos but I can't make it work on firefox, I'm currently using the DEV Edition x64 latest version HW Acceleration is enabled and I also tried modifying via about:config the lines: media.peerconnection.video.use_rtx gfx.webrender.overlay-vp-super-resolution gfx.webrender.super-resolution.nvidia

It still doesn't work! tested in the other versions of firefox and it also did not work Using brave, chrome and edge..works normally without having to do anything. Does anyone know what it can be???

Firefox reports that my theme is dark no matter what if I set it to _Automatic_. This results on any website that follows the CSS rule to prefer system theme to also be in dark mode. The only way I can get Firefox to use _Light_ is to manually select that option.

I have observed this behavior on MacOS Sequioa and also Tahoe (after a clean install). Other browsers I tested (Chrome, Safari) are not impacted by this behavior.

gmail no longer works in firefox. Nightly has been giving me a message about clearing cache and cookies for many many many months. After I do that, nothing changes and I still end up in a website about clearing cache and cookies.

Firefox ESR is not able to delete gmail emails after I check the delete box. It says they are deleted but the don't ever go away.

I cannot find any version of firefox that works with gmail. Please let me know if you have found one and provide a link for me to download that version.

thanks

When Facebook creates passkey Firefox asks for an USB to be inserted. I have tried to disable USB in the settings ("security.webauth.webauthn_enable_usbtoken","false"). But then Facebook just gets into a retry loop and I can't create the passkey. I use Windows 10, and USB is NOT enabled as an authentication option. I need to fix this as Facebook nags me (in e-mail) to create a passkey.

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I am contacting you regarding my Firefox account, which is currently registered with my ProtonMail email address that I no longer have access to.

Unfortunately, my ProtonMail account has been permanently disabled, and I am unable to receive any verification emails.

I would like to request your assistance in updating my account email address to a new one.

I can confirm that I am the rightful owner of the account and I am willing to provide any information necessary to verify my identity, such as:

Previous account details Login activity Devices used Any additional verification you may require

Additionally, I am currently located in Iran, where due to recent internet restrictions and instability, I have had to rely on VPN services, which may have contributed to unusual activity patterns.

I would really appreciate any help or alternative verification process you can provide in this situation.

New email address: intelligentquantum@gmail.com

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, Hamed

I have a directory structure

C:

   Gustafson
       Website
           ⋮
           scripts
               global.js
               ⋮
           ⋮
           TestDirectory
               baseUrl_test.html
           ⋮

In the <head> of a webpage, I determine a baseUrl for the page using the following:

 <script>
   // assumes website topmost directory is "Website""
   ( async ( ) => {
     const segments = document.documentURI.split ( "/");
     const index = segments.findIndex ( element => 
                                        element == "Website" );
     if ( index < 0 )
       {
       throw new TypeError ( 
                 "Website structure not constructed correctly" );
       }
     segments.length = index + 1;
     let path = segments.join ( "/" );
     path += "/";
     window.baseUrl = path;
     console.log(`${baseUrl}`);
     } ) ( );
 </script>

The console log displays

file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/

In the body is

 <script>
   console.log ( `${baseUrl}scripts/global.js` );
 </script>
 <script src=`${baseUrl}scripts/global.js`></script>
 <script>
 window.onload = 
   function ( )
     {
     Global.initialize_globals ( );
     };
 </script>

The console log displays

file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/scripts/global.js Loading failed for the <script> with source “file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/TestDirectory/%60$%7BbaseUrl%7Dscripts/global.js%60”. Uncaught ReferenceError: Global is not defined

   onload file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/TestDirectory/baseUrl_test.html:37
   EventHandlerNonNull* file:///C:/Gustafson/Website/TestDirectory/baseUrl_test.html:34

The problem is the console.log displays what is expected but the src= is using something totally different.

Hi,

I have logged out from some device (laptop) today. I had approx 150 tabs over there I would really like to recover. Is there any chance to get them back?

Kind regards Grzegorz

After the 8/5/25 Firefox update the internet is inaccessible on my laptop through the standard Firefox browser. The internet is accessible with MS Edge. Toolbar is set to always show bookmarks but none appear. Also, the browser's application's menu does not open to access options such as restore previous session, recently closed tabs, etc. I've restarted my device several times without it resolving the issues with the standard browser.

The Firefox developer version opened in command prompt safe mode (firefox -safe-mode), which is how this inquiry is being sent, but no bookmarks on tool bar or current page history from the standard (non-developer) Firefox.

I'd like to return to accessing the internet using the standard Firefox version with its bookmarks, history, etc. I am using Windows 10. Thank you.

using Firefox Developer Edition Version 130.0b5 (64-bit)

https-only mode is enabled for all windows enabled, with a couple exceptions. one of those exceptions is www.bom.gov.au , which does not support that mode. anytime someone tries to open a page from there in said mode, leads to a page that redirects to it's homepage, highlighting that it is unsupported, and changing from any specific url to the redirect url.

in the past it worked well to have this page listed under the exceptions for https-only, always loaded without a hitch. but now it's treating the page as not an exception. i've removed it from the exception list and tried loading, re-added and tried loading, but the result is always the same. can anyone please help?
