I am happy with the Firefox version I have! I do NOT want the "latest and greatest", every time I update Firefox I wish I hadn't. How can I block those millions of "update available" notices I get every day? They are nothing but a NUISANCE. Thanks!!

What about:config option do I have to disable to remove those new buttons from the address bar?

Firefox 105.0b2

I suppose the other question is why did you add them? There are already three places I can get at that information.

Using Firefox Developer 105.0b7 (64-bit).

I "cannot" change my password -- Firefox always report ""Incorrect Password""

1) I can log in using the previously-created pass. 2) I can verify in ""Saved Logins"" that the pass in use is the previously-created pass. 3) When attempting to change the pass at the ""Firefox Accounts"" page, I'm always getting ""Incorrect Password"" after clicking to "Save" new pass. 4) I've have tried using ""Safe Mode"" to no avail.

when I click the web address bar and the drop down opens up with commonly visited site a series buttons appear under it that I would love to delete from the face of the earth, as far as I can tell there doesn't appear to be any setting to turn them off and help topics are expectantly useless. For the love of god don't come and tell me you've added an idiot feature that I have no control over.

Somewhere around September 6 something changed in Firefox which prevents me from accessing my control area for a website I own. The error says: " your connection to this site is not private. Information ...". I am the only person with access to this site and my password to the site is 20 characters long with special character and randomly generate. Everything worked well and doesn't work on any computer in my house. This change in your software is costing me money as I can't work on my website. I am not a happy camper. Please tell me how to resolve this problem. Telling me to ask the hosting company to make changes is not a valid response.

The URL in the URL bar is trimmed. I went to about:config and disabled "browser.urlbar.trimURLs", but it still did not work after I restarted Firefox. (see images)

Firefox version: 105.0 (on beta update channel)

I later then found out that there is a lot of unused space on the right. (see https://1drv.ms/v/s!Ag9_47ED3j7sgsZhkB02k7gI3lavyg) How do I remove / make use of the space on the right of the URL bar? How do I turn off the trimming of the URL?

Any help is appreciated!

Hello,

I would be grateful, if possible, if you could help load a new PKCS#11 Module in the Firefox Privacy and Security Settings (under Security -> Certificates -> Security Devices ->Load). Based on the instructions from an electronic ID card reader application (eID Middleware), after installing the application I have tried to load a PKCS#11 module with a Module name /usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libEidPkcs11.dylib. However, I am getting the "unable to add module" Alert message from Firefox. I am using a Mac Book Pro with an 8-core Intel i9 processor, and macOS Monterey 12.6 version. I've tried restarting Firefox as well as the Mac, but it didn't help. If anyone knows how to fix the problem, I would very much appreciate it.

Best, Slaven

I work from home. Every time I try to download a file from my file explorer/file uploader to my Gmail, I get the message "working on it," and then it crashes. It has been happening all day. I restarted the PC, and I even refreshed Firefox. I have files that need to be sent out and I don't know what else to do.

Why does every update include loads of stuff that worked fine before but then gets broken?

BBC News webpage - always was fine - update 105.0 arrived - now has to be zoomed down to display correctly on a 12" Macbook. Default appears to be trying to display a mobile layout.

I don't want to have to adjust the zoom every time I look at it. And I don't want to set the zoom to 90% for everything.

Any suggestions for a cure? Thanks.

Hi, so yesterday, I updated to the latest version of FireFox (version 105.0). Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary until I decided to watch a few YouTube videos. The best way I can describe this problem is that every time I decide to scroll down to see the description or read a few comments, the entire screen on my laptop goes black regardless if it's on default view or full screen.

Even though that does sound like a crash, the audio still plays, and if I power the computer to sleep mode and log back in, the window of the video automatically scrolls up and everything is back to the way it was (but I did had to restart the laptop once because it also visually broke my mouse pointer). The only way I can get around this problem is to pause whatever video I watch and then scroll down, and no black screen occurs.

I don't know if I'm the only one who has this problem, but I've never had this issue happen in past versions of FireFox. If there is another way to fix this problem, I'll be glad to take anyone's possible suggestions/solutions.
