I expected "export passwords" to also export the password to my mozilla account, but it did not. I'm now locked out of my account. I signed into this form with google, is there something similar I can do to get my mozilla account back? The drive I had firefox on is wiped.

The scrollbar slider isn't displaying correctly. If I grab the screen, zoom in, and look very carefully, it is possible to see that the slider is a very slightly different darker shade of grey to the rest of the scrollbar, but it's almost impossible to see, so something is clearly not working properly here. The scrollbar should be highly visible as it's the most often-clicked control of the entire browser.

Is it possible to make a donation to Mozilla without providing so much personal information? I got a message on Firefox today asking for a donation, but when I tried to do that, I was asked for my home address. It's a general rule of internet marketing that people who use the internet would rather do anything than pay for something, so it's bad psychology to impose unnecessary conditions when you're asking for a donation. I don't have to provide my home address when I make donations to other organisations, so why does Mozilla need my home address? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I can't find anywhere else to ask it!

Thanks,

Shaun.

Slow and Incomplete Loading of Websites

My network is pretty fast -

  • Download Speed - 76.30 mbps
  • Upload Speed - 113.13 mbps
  • Idle Latency - 61 ms
  • Download Latency - 59 ms
  • Upload Latency - 18 ms

Even though this is a pretty fast network connection, my websites on firefox take a long time to load, for example youtube takes like 2 seconds to load, and sometimes some elements of the website do not even load. This is a very annoying problem which I would like a solution for.

Since a recent version of Firefox was installed the picture in picture control does not work. I have unchecked the option but It still shows in YouTube etc.

I know this can be disabled in about:config but I prefer not going there. I wonder if this will be corrected sometime, otherwise the setting option is pointless.

Another item: I have unchecked the search suggestions in settings but it makes no difference.

Input welcome.

Hello Firefox Support Team,

I would like to report a browser compatibility issue regarding CSS positioning behavior that differs from Chromium-based browsers.

    • Issue Description:**

When an element with `position: sticky` is placed inside a container with `position: fixed`, Firefox treats the sticky element as if it has `position: relative`, effectively breaking the sticky positioning functionality.

    • Expected Behavior:**

The sticky element should maintain its sticky positioning behavior even when nested inside a fixed-positioned container, as it does in Chromium-based browsers.

    • Current Firefox Behavior:**

The sticky element loses its sticky properties and behaves like a relatively positioned element.

    • Use Case:**

This issue particularly affects modal implementations where: - The `body` element receives `position: fixed` to prevent background scrolling - Page elements (such as `.total-section`) should maintain their sticky behavior regardless of changes to the body positioning

    • Browser Comparison:**

- **Chromium browsers (Chrome):** Sticky positioning works correctly in this scenario - **Firefox:** Sticky positioning fails and falls back to relative behavior

    • Request:**

Could you please consider aligning Firefox's behavior with other major browsers? The current inconsistency creates cross-browser compatibility issues and forces developers to implement JavaScript workarounds.

Thanks!

I know the system backs up bookmarks every day or so. I want to migrate all to a new PC. With a new Laptop it seems to have done so automatically, maybe through synchronize feature, I am not sure how I did that . I normally export bookmarks to a external flash drive as HTML. Just did also to a .json file type cannot find how to do that. Which format and method will be best? Have all of the old PC backed up through Acronis full back up. Will that have the full Firefox program with the bookmarks?
