Note: the following is an editted version. 20250706 13:02

when i MUTE some tabs (using the native FF tab mute icon on the tab) sound is muted for just that tab. HOWEVER, it also mutes ALL SYSTEM sounds.

This occurs both with my regular profile and using a default profile for my version (which has NO ADDONS).

It seems to depend on the type of delivery of the music. (Or something!)

This occurs for the following URLs:

   https://14223.live.streamtheworld.com/WRTI_CLASSICAL.mp3
   https://areena.yle.fi/podcastit/ohjelmat/57-llL6Y4blL

However, rather interestinly, it DOES NOT OCCUR for the "standard" WRTI radio station:

   https://www.wrti.org/classical-playlist-search

it seems UNREASONABLE THAT A WEB SITE SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXERT ANY CONTROL upon system sounds.   So, I must presume this is a FF bug; however, I have not posted it as such (having no confirmation from others).

FF 139.04 Windows 10 pro

I have been having a problem the last 2 weeks. When ob certain pages my browser will suddenly jump to the top, or near the top, of the page. I have mostly noticed it on Walmart when i try to click on the add button or if i remove an item from my cart. It happens on a few other places like Barns and Nobles . Anyone else having this problem? Cant be sure but i first noticed it after one of the last updates. I have tried running my browser in safe mode and disabled all extensions and add-ons but still does the same thing. click and and page jumps to top. click on an item to look at it and the page goes all the way to the bottom.

Whatever update that happened recently destroyed everything I used Firefox for, everything. How can I get it all back? It seems there is no going back?

How did Mozilla left this get by? If I have to rebuild everything it will take years.

I may as well use a more worthy browser. I am so angry. I've lost links to so many family items like the burial site of my birth father. So, many things gone. I'm stunned and crushed over this.

I trusted Mozilla. Now i can't trust Mozilla.

I'm having issues trying to use the manage colors settings for contrast control. I've been experimenting with changing the boxes for text and background under the "link colors" column, but I don't understand what the second column of boxes on the right side are. I'm actually trying this as a work around for an issue with visited link colors under the use system settings option--they turn purple against a black background so they're almost unreadable. I've asked about this before with no solution. Thanks for any help Karen F,

I have recently changed my browser to firefox and I have noticed that sometimes, when I have multiples tabs opened, it happens that, when i click in a tab, it instantly opens a new window with that same tab. I know that is a way of doing that on puorpose, but it happens to me against my will A LOT OF TIMES, which has been annoiyng me a lot. I asked AI and it thinks it may be a malware but it doesn't seem so. I have looked up on settings and there's nothing about it. What should i do? Has someone been through something similar?

when signing in to Yahoo mail using Firefox I'm asked to click continue then view a QR code but no code appears. Instead I'm asked to plug in a USB key. How do I set up a passkey on my phone?

Sir/ Madam,

    It is delight to use and experience with Firefox Mozilla browser. I request to  make Firefox Mozilla as main.

I have a WINDOWS computer and I use Windows 11.

My Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar has several FOLDERS.

Each Folder has "drop-down" components.

Example: FINANCIAL Folder includes: Pension

                                                                Social Security
                                                                Military Retirement pay
                                                                15 or so "others"

                 BANKS Folder includes:  Bank #1 ( name witheld)
                                                           Bank #2 ( "         "         )
                                                           couple more

                 MEDICAL Folder includes :   Medicare
                                                                My Chart
                                                                couple more

Everything looked great. Worked great too.

Then, next time Computer turned on, the FINANCIAL Folder had "Pension"

                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Social Security"
                                                                                                           "Social Security" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Social Security" ( 3 more times)
                                                                                                            ALL THE REST - GONE !!

Several Folders now 2-4 more times showing on the Bookmarks Toolbar Additionally, MANY Folders are now "Missing" !!!

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was CORRECT !

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was ALL WRONG as described above.

What is going on ??

Is there a way to FIX this? Do I need to go to GOOGLE CHROME / MICROSOFT EDGE ??

Similarly I have tried to LOG-ON to my Marriott Hotel website and things did not work correctly. I called Marriott Reservations and described the problem. Marriott asked IF I was using Firefox? I replied "YES". They said to use Google Chrome instead.

I used CHROME and everything worked GREAT !!!

Is this the answer? Firefox is not being properly supported? I should switch Browsers ??

I have used Firefox for MANY years. These problems are VERY recent.

I have always thought that "hackers" targeted Microsoft so Firefox had a "lower profile" and was therefore "SAFER".

I am losing confidence in Firefox.

Are these problems that other Firefox users are having also?

I liked Firefox's recent REVIEWS of "Ratings" -- but that was terminated recently.

Something "smells BAD" about Firefox.

What gives?

If your recommendation is to "abandon Firefox", which Browser do you recommend?

You help is much appreciated.

I tried to log in to NextDoor, which was supposed to send by email a 6-digit login code for me to enter. I tried at least twice, and no code was received. I'm using Firefox 128.12.0esr on a Mac running Catalina 10.15.7. Logging in to NextDoor from a Brave browser worked just fine, including getting the code by email. How to I fix this?

Since installing a new version of Bitdefender yesterday I am having difficulty accessing a number of sites I previously used regularly without any problems. I am getting the error message reported in the Subject box.

Problems:

1. The New Tab page doesn't show background images - doesn't go into Light Mode
2. When Light Mode is enabled, certain UI related to Firefox-related pages break

Did I accidentally touch some CSS or about:config elements I wasn't supposed to? I honestly don't know lol

Additional Notes:

• Applies to custom and default backgrounds (the author's info shows up)
• "Reset to default" didn't help
• I removed all extensions
• Themes work fine - Issue happens with or without them enabled
• Everything else on New Tab works fine
• Provided screenshots showcasing it all (including Light Mode oddities)

last night we had a couple second power outage. This morning my desktop with Firefox won't properly boot up. It goes to Microsoft Edge. I have changed the default back to Firefox but none of my files will show up.
