Firefox Community Forum

I am on Windows 11. Asus laptop PC. On Google Chrome, any streaming website I used with autoplay enabled would KEEP full screen mode ON after changing episodes. It would automatically go to a new page with the following episode and remain full screen. Why doesn't Firefox have this feature?? I'm seriously considering going back to Google Chrome for this one small feature. Every time I had any streaming service playing with autoplay enabled, I didn't have to manually select the full screen option every time. I am having to stand up and manually click full screen function. Every. Single. Time. This needs to change PLEASE.

Just updated Firefox desktop (Win 10 with ESU) to 140.10.0ESR and now every site I try to access gives

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Sites were all working fine literally right before. No other changes at all. Have restarted a few times. Have disabled antivirus and adblocker extensions. Same problem including at google.com and even firefox. Note on the About Mozilla Firefox window says " Failed to check for updates". Also cannot even use the links there to go to What's new or Firefox help etc. (Gives Secure Connection Failed error). No proxy server. Have tried turning anti virus completely off. Just a combined modem/router -- basically vanilla.

Firefox is my primary browser so this is extremely disruptive. I am using Edge to access sites and post this.. though curiously enough I noticed it gave some error when checking for updates. Do not want to do anything there or will lose complete access.

Any suggestions .. or how to go back to a previous version, if necessary. Need a workable connection to file taxes next week so this is important. Thank you.

I have set my account to "Don't delete any messages", because I frequently want to reread a deleted message in my Trash folder. However, when I go into my Trash folder to search for a deleted message, I am finding that messages older than a certain date have disappeared, although I've done nothing to permanently delete them. For example, today everything older than May 3 is gone. What can I do to prevent this?

thanks, CW

To put it plainly, MANY MANY of your users Only use firefox because it hasn't actively destroyed itself with ai-integration. extreme issues with privacy and performance are Surely going to result, and even IF the browser continues to operate decently, you are STILL going to lose Many users out of spite and moral disagreement. So, I hope "Anthony" is proud to be the beginning of the end for this company, because if you don't revert course I simply do not have words for the slow corporate death the once-beloved browser will experience. You ARE the "no-ai, actually works" browser, and now you're throwing that away? Your ONLY advantage in a world utterly dominated by Chrome and chromium-based browsers? Do I need to explain the breadth of stupidity of that decision? My god, you guys. Withstand the ai bubble that will inevitably send us hurdling into recession, Resist, what's wrong with you? If this is about increasing shareholder value with the Magic Word "ai", im sure those same shareholders will be pleased to hear about your impending hemorrhaging userbase. Take it back.

I strongly disagree with the proposed AI-centric direction for Firefox. I already disable any current AI features in this browser and disagree with them being there at all. I am firmly anti-AI in the form/use that is most prevalent. I don't want an AI chatbot or AI summaries. AI is not a replacement for human thought. It cannot perceive. It cannot understand. It cannot communicate. Even if it produces a convincing enough mimicry of those things to convince some people that it is capable of doing those things. It's like that IBM training slide from 1979 that says "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision." Firefox's blog entry about these proposed updates is full of nothing but glittering generalities, just buzz-phrases like "you're in control" and "a better browser" and "trusted companion." AI is not a trusted companion. AI is hyper-advanced autocorrect. And with AI's harshness on the environment (requires astronomical and unsustainable amounts of water) and on the browser itself (slows it down considerably and makes it more vulnerable to security breaches like prompt injection attacks), I just don't think "everybody else is doing AI" is a valid reason to override the main reason most Firefox users use it (because of its lack of AI features and focus on privacy). I'm a long-time user of Firefox and I have really enjoyed it, but one of the biggest issues I have had with it in the last few years is disabling all the AI garbage features that keep getting sneaked in. If AI use or AI-driven features become a substantial part of Firefox, I won't be using it anymore.

Please don't fucking add more AI bullshit into the browser version of firefox im begging. I swtiched to firefox instead of chrome because you guys had LESS issues but now you're adding MORE issues. I'm gonna switch to something else if you do this. AI is not gonna help you in the long run. Bye.

I think you should consider launching your new CEO out of a canon, metaphorically speaking.

If people wanted AI slop shoved in their faces, they'd go use a crappy chromium browser, which is where that stuff lives. We use Firefox because we don't want any of that crap in our browsing experience. "As long as you can trust it" - who does this guy think he is? You can't 'trust' AI, it's not a person, it's a tool (implement) used by tools (inept idiot).

You also can't trust corporations that pivot to AI, either. If you want to double down on anything relating to AI, then double down on keeping Firefox AI slop free, and ensuring that you are the browser for those that need refuge from this crap.

I remember when Firefox really was a nonprofit that survived on donations from its users, rather than just another corporate shill for companies and LLMs.

Be better. You disappoint me.

Apparently, the new CEO has decided to integrate more AI. I do not like this. The main reason I use FireFox and Mozilla is that it doesn’t add AI bloatware and has better privacy and security. The fact that this company is considering adding even more AI is enough to make me stop using them entirely. When they originally added AI overview, summary, and a chatbot I nearly switched to something else. I know there are not many browsers that aren’t owned by Google or a parent company left, but by god I will find one.

If you integrate AI, I will not be using your browser. It’s bad enough that other companies are doing this already, don’t be a jackass and start doing it too.

The rise of AI in a browser i specifically use to not have to deal with it is honestly not making me want to use it anymore. Stop implementing AI and get off the enshittification train.

Like many others, I had switched over to Firefox because it was the most secure and AI-free option out there. I was willing to accept there would be minimal AI "features" as long as I was able to disable them immediately, which I did. Pushing for more will only alienate the users and make the overall user experience worse. I am tired of checking every second picture if it's AI generated. I am tired of seeing AI generated articles. I never read the AI summaries because who knows when they'll tell me to add glue to my pizza to make the cheese stick more. We already have studies that show generative AI affects an individual's capacity for thought. I have people in my life that are being affected by it. Firefox, being the only non-Chromium based browser, is basically a beacon of normalcy in all this bullshit. Don't mess up the trust of your community by stooping so low. If we wanted AI slop we would be using Google Chrome.

Greetings Ya'll, Firefox Bookmarks are no longer being initially placed in "Other Bookmarks, they are now being placed in the "Bookmarks" that is under the "Open Application Menu" Tab.

I've found that the "New Bookmarks" can be "Dragged" as a copy to "Bookmarks", from the "Bookmarks" located in the menu, for they will stay there unless I delete them

I can not move the "Bookmarks" back to "Other Bookmarks"

Would I lose My Bookmarks, If I "Refresh" Firefox, as suggested in the "Troubleshooting Section? If there is a chance of this happening then that would Absolutely Be Catastrophic!!

Until recently we had the use of AI Overview when searching. That has disappeared. How do we turn it on again?
