Hello there!
Up until mid-November 2022 approxmately, I was able to open multiple synced tabs by holding down the Ctrl key. The synced tabs would then open in new tabs in the background, while the menu would remain open.
Since an update, the behaviour has changed, and opening a synced tab now automatically closes the menu, which is most annoying, as when I change computers, I most often have several synced tabs to reopen, not just one.
browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu=false does not apply to the synced tabs menu, and I was not able to find any other option that would help.
browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground=true does not help either.
What am I missing? As far as I can remember, it worked out of the box until a few weeks ago! (the menu would not close upon opening a synced tab in a new tab, holding down the Ctrl key). The issue appeared after a Firefox update on my 4 devices.
Many thanks in advance!

I enabled switch to tab for google calendar but now I can't get it to stop. I found this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1272327 and opened the pad lock and removed the switch to tab permission. But it is still doing it. I also tried going into the site settings and permissions and there the "Switch to this tab" is set to the default of Always Ask. I even tried blocking all notifications on the site but it's still switching to it and it gets really annoying.

I'm running an old combo linux & firefox: 14.04 & 55.0.2 Lately some sites appear as white screens, some load then turn white, some say 'old version' then white screen, and a few seem to load but buttons can't be pushed. Config probs? Are the sites doing it, or has HTML outpaced the old firefox? Happens in both normal and private mode.
Oddly, I've tried to install newer firefoxes, but couldn't install. Old linux?
Has only been a minor problem until lately.
A linux reinstall is still too big a hassle for the moment.
Thank you all.

I would suggest within the last month or so Firefox has started to hang in a way that everything continues to "work" but I cannot switch tabs and I cannot do anything else with Firefox until I kill it.
I can periodically reproduce this by: Randomly select and copy text on a website.
Behavior observed: You can no longer switch tabs, enter a new location, close tabs, or really interact with the browser at all even though it is not dead. Keyboard shortcuts do not work either.

Whenever a website prompts for me to upload or download a file and I except Firefox crashes, quitting in its entirety. This still occurs in "Troubleshoot" mode so I assume it is not any of my extensions. Here is a crash report from when this occurred if it helps. Another odd observation I made is that I am able to upload a file if I use a "drag-and-drop" feature on a website.

I have been using Firefox on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. When media is playing in Firefox, the media player widget says, "Firefox is playing Media". There is no thumbnail or title. I have tried on multiple websites, and all are the same.
media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled is set to true.
Chromium on the same system shows the title and progress bar, but no thumbnail.

Hey, so I've just spent the past weekend attempting to troubleshoot this issue and nothing is working.
The issue: Firefox either crashes (only Linux) or slows down drastically alongside a CPU temp spike (Linux and Windows). Temps are 25 Celsius at idle, 30-40 while using Firefox for the first few minutes, and then it spikes up to 55-65 Celsius and never drops back down to normal unless I close the browser. Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Brave, Edge all run fine with no crashes, no slow down, and normal temps.
Things I've tried to troubleshoot the issue:
And a few of my crash reports:
Perhaps I'm spending too much time into this but I really want to know what is causing this and whether it's pertaining to my hardware or Firefox itself. Any help appreciated.

I am on Manjaro Linux and installed the update to Firefox 108. The result is an unwieldy, unhelpful interface that is the opposite of the efficiency claimed by Mozilla. I can't close tabs, I can't even easily find them. The top bar gives me two controls with identical function: both show "Save to Pocket" and "Customise toolbar..."
Could you tell me how I can close tabs, please? If I can't, then I'll be adding to an endless history, probably making the browser slower and slower.
Who asked for these changes? In what way are they they helpful to me?
On the New Tab Page, is it possible to get more rows of shortcuts? I currently have settings set for 4 rows which appears to be the maximum.

Hi, I've recently accidentally broken and had to reinstall some packages on my computer & as part of that firefox has changed how it displays the drop down menu (File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help Menu bar) It now displays on the top bar of the screen - where the title of the page is - but only appears when I move the cursor over it. See 2nd attached image.
Is there any way I can get it to go back to being permanently accessible below my tabs as it was previously
Also, for info as much as anything: I've found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-menu-bar-firefox but it appears to be out of date as I cannot get any option to show 'menu bar' in the way it suggests. See 1st attached image

I am mainly using firefox (108 at this time) in Linux Mint and I have sync setup with some others systems (even older linux distribs with icewease and windows). I have a lot of trouble with certain sites when my profile '~/.mozilla/firefox' is loaded and my sync account is connected or not. (seems to be related to javascript or similar - some wait circles never stop and nothing is displayed) I assume I have something corrupted in the profile. If move .mozilla/firefox profile and starts from scratch those websites are working good.
But I have a lot of bookmarks and does not want to restart from scratch. I already did that one year ago and it seems it when I restore sync when the problems arise.
Any idea?

Just upgraded to firefox 108 and it has broken just about everything. No tabs. No real toolbar. No back button. No switching from fullscreen to windowed. Nothing works properly. The hamburger menu and minimized are on the same button. One of the toolbars constantly switches from arrow to plus symbol creating havoc on my screen. Can't watch any video because of this.
