Firefox Support Forum

Firefox shows a blank white page for every tab and nothing seems to fix this. I cannot access the options menu, it simply won't open when I click it.

I have tried:

Opening it in the troubleshooting mode Refreshing firefox (resetting it to the default) Uninstall and reinstalling Uninstalling, removing any folders relating to firefox from appdata, and then reinstalling

Nothing works. It's still unusable, and I don't really want to use chrome or edge. Any help is appreciated.

hi, the latest update changed the homepage a lot. The most bothersome thing i have noticed is that when i type anything into the search area it immediately moves from the search bar in the middle of the page to the address bar at the top of the page where i usually just get URL's. It doesnt serve any purpose i can think of and i have never used the address bar to do normal searches before. Is there any way to change my homepage back to the way it was? Or at least stop the search and address bars from being linked?

I don't know if I'm the only one who used this feature, but when I opened a new tab I could just drop some copied text in there, go to another tab do something, then go back to that new tab where the text was copied, take the copy once more from the bar and go back to the previous tab. The text in the new tab didn't disappear all the time when new tab was "opened". Currently in version 89.0 this functionality disappeared and when I change from new tab to other tab text from the "search bar" disappear, the funniest thing is this functionality saved me a lot of time because I didn't have to play with any notepad or anything to store copied things. Is there any option to bring it back?

Hello,

I've searched without luck long enough, time to ask You. Is there a way for Firefox 89+ to restore tabs to be below adress bar? Previous userChrome.css solutions puts tabs now on bottom of screen and makes them invisible. Common problem wich Mozilla stuff is blind at...

return the address bar to center of screen. as a senior don't need something smaller and up near top of screen. should of ask before changes were made on 89 update.

Hi, a few days ago, the cursor began to appear in the elements of a web page and it is a bit annoying, has it happened to someone? I already updated and reinstalled but it was not solved.

Thank you!

When i start typing a search in the google search bar the text is entered into the address bar and multiple suggestions are displayed. How can i disable this so that my text remains in the google search bar and not the address bar.

Hi Team,

I have a dynamic web URL like test/something, when i visit the webpage for the first time using http://test/something it will be navigated to the particular domain page as expected. But if i try to visit again the same domain address like test/someotherurl it must be auto suggested and recognized as a web URL (http://test/someotherurl) rather taking me/suggesting for a google search when i click enter.  Also it is not shown anywhere.  All other browsers and older versions (78) of firefox was showing this. I request you to kindly suggest me a way to fix this.

Attached a screenshot for the scenario. You can see only search with google suggestion is there. previously i visited http://test/someurl from the same browser. So here every time i need to type http in front of a url.

How to prevent Firefox 89.0 from showing black-background drop down boxes?

Windows 10 v 2004 /HP 840 G3

This is new, never happened before 89.0: Chrome still shows white drop down boxes

Provisionally stopped hardware acceleration, no effect; now back on

Extensions, as have been in use for years without this issue, shown in attachment; anyway no change in troubleshooting mode

How do I search from the Search Box (the box under Google" on the Google Homepage) ? Since the latest Firefox update (89.0June 2021), even though I have the cursor in the Search Box, when I type the cursor jumps to the address search box. I have tried adjusting the Firefox "search" settings, but that didn't work. I also tried changing "keyw" in "about:config" but that disabled searching in both the Search Box and the Address/Search Panel. Also tried reverting to the older version of Firefox (88.0)

I used to have Firefox set up how I like it, but now it seems I've lost that. Any ideas, please ?

After an automatic update Firefox had a terrible surprise for me. A beyond ugly user interface. And NO WAY to fix this with a simple toggle switch back to classic mode. There are theme's available, but still it looks unusable to me. This kind of updates should be beyond Mozilla, maybe don't hire former Apple employees, the esthetics don't have to be " slick and modern"

So after a long fight with almost losing my plugins, saved tabs (100+) etc.. I downgraded successfully to 88.

Step 1 (Secure your profile) Open menu, Click Help, Click "More Troubleshooting Information" Go to the line which says, "Profile Folder" Hit open folder

Pay extra attention during these steps: Now you are browsing in your active profile. If you did this after upgrading to 89 version. Make a back-up copy of this whole folder!! Rename it back up.

Open the file "Compatibility.ini" with a text editor, and empty it. Save and close.

Download and install the previous version of Firefox, After installing don't forget to disable automatic updates.

If the profile isn't loaded, browse to "about:profiles" and find and select your profile to get al your plugins, tabs, favs, etc. back.

Its a terrible shame i need to write this down for people to avoid the frustration of a terrible update

Following problem since last update (89.0, 64bix, Win 10): When I call my list of bookmarks (Alt+L for Lesezeichen in my German Firefox), the lines in my list are much farther apart than before (see attached screen shot). Thus, I now have to scroll down to reach the lower items in the list. What can I do to get back the former, narrow list of bookmarks? Thanks a lot Hansueli Hof

Hi, I use a PC under W7.

with FF88, the zone of the activated/unused tabs was above the screen, below the listed tabs bar (like in the snapshot).

With FF89, this zone is now empty (background in blue in the snapshot) and only the active tab appears below the window (on the right down in the snapshot for the current tab).

It makes FF simply unusable ! Need your help to come back to a normal situation : all tabs in the blue bar where they were.

thanks a lot for your help. Regards, Philippe

After update firefox 89, I cannot input into search box. Text will only appear in the toolbar URL input box. Please help me fix it? Google is my default search engine.

Even though I don't have use the address bar clicked in settings, firefox still forces my search from the search bar, into the address bar, I think this is since my last update from firefox

Every time I see New Improved Firefox I groan as it means that what I am used to no longer functions.

Case in point click on FF open page and I have 3 search bars and trying to use just the Firefox will not allow any type to show up just in top two.

1. How do I eliminate the top two?? 2. How when typing can I get it to show up in the Firefox address bar as it has done for the past 12 years???????

The old saying if it aint broke do not fix it comes to mind!! Robin S.

The new Firefox does not allow for cut and paste of websites searched for. I am seriously considering another web browser unless this can be resolved. Does anyone know if the feature is available? I cannot find it.
