Firefox Community Forum

To be clear, I am talking about the gaps between UI elements that were present in early mockups as well as in initial versions of Nova before it was enabled by default in 157. I understand they were a controversial design element with many users disliking them for a variety of reasons (preferences, space utilization, ...) but in my view they were really one of the things that made Nova click and I was disappointed when they were axed before the final release.

My question is whether the Firefox team has made a final decision to remove them permanently and completely, or if there is ongoing discussion/work around reintroducing them, perhaps as something that can be enabled or disabled depending on each individual user's preference?

Currently Running Firefox 158.0(64-bit)mint-001 - 1.0 Linux Mint 21.3. This actually started with 157. This peculiar to the System Package version ONLY. The versions on Flatpak Mint, Windoze, iOS or Android have the problem.

In brief, If the text in a Youtube post exceeds approximately 150 characters, excluding the dots(periods), when the preview is clicked on then the post itself only shows that text and the expected "Read more" is missing. What is visible are three dots in what appears to be a far smaller font thus making me believe the link to the script that does the reveal has been suppressed.

Unless there is something hidden in about:config to cure this there doesn't seem to be any way around this.

Ideas would be welcome

It seems the sync server is keeping deleted passwords record placeholders ... for ever?? what is the point of this? User tracking?

he same with the credit card records BUT not eg bookmarks.

(server records as I can see using the about:sync extension..)

thanks for any help..

Firefox deleted my entire browsing history while signed in with syncing on, with no user interaction. This should never happen. What is the point of Firefox sync if it does this?

Mozilla "help" says there's a link at the bottom of the page for that, but I see no such link. Mozilla "support" says it's based on how one created the account; I apparently used "Mozilla Account". I am currently logged into Connect and have been searching the entire site literally hours, between yesterday and today, plus browsing account settings, and found NO WAY to reset my password. Seriously. I started at "Email Settings", which anyone would expect to have reset there, as eMail is half of the login data, but no. Nothing clearly visible on any page anywhere in the menu at the avatar.

Everything here keeps saying go to "Mozilla Support" for technical issues, but going to "Support", I see they only support "products", and the web site ecosystem, say Connect, Bugzilla, and Support, are apparently NOT PRODUCTS OF MOZILLA. They have no entry in the product combo box and I either have to lie about the product, or get no support. How is that supportive? Lol

I've been using the split view feature and really like it... however I constantly find myself doing the following:

Having a split view open with related pages, for example a list view in the left pane, and I want to open one of the items in the list view in the opposite pane, currently I have to:

1. Copy the url in the left pane 2. Switch to the right pane 3. Target the address bar 4. Paste the url 5. Load the new url

Ideally an additional 'open link in x' option could be added specifically when a user is in the split view, that will open the link directly in the opposite pane of the current split, so left > right or right > left.

My question is, is there is a way to do this already; I cannot find any reference to this in the docs.

"Open Link in Opposite Split View" would be perfect.

Using Mozilla VPN (Flathub version 2.39), Firefox Multi-account Containers won't let me assign a location per container as it did with the APT version - instead, under each container config it just says "Get Mozilla VPN" on a blue button.

But it does use the old config I had (so my old "US" container still exits in the USA, for instance).

This occurred on my old Ubuntu 24.04 system, using Gnome desktop; and also now on my new KDE system (Plasma 6.7.4) even if I tweak "configure permissions" in Discover to allow access to everything.

Any help gratefully received!

We often encounter this situation: both at home and at work, I don't want the Firefox password and browsing history on my home computer to be synchronized to the Firefox on my work computer. After all, there are many private passwords and browsing histories involved at home. However, the passwords and browsing histories related to work can be synchronized to my home computer, so that we can continue to view the records from work at home However, I haven't found this function anywhere in Firefox

Hi; I use Firefox on my phone and my laptop both. In my laptop (Lecoo pro 14, Ubuntu 26.04) in a domain range browser gives me security alarm and don't let me get in. This is normal but when I use other browser in my laptop or Firefox on my phone (s25 ultra) there is no problem at all and it works well! I tried all things. run commands like: sudo snap remove --purge firefox | sudo snap install firefox, sudo apt search firefox/mozilla and than reinstall all installed packages and clear all caches on settings. But none of them worked. Thanks for your responsibility and making such great open-source app.

Which dictionary are we using? (Or are we allowing English spelling to be supplanted with American or other spelling?)

Whereas in MS Windows I can choose UK English or one of the many different forms of English in use elsewhere, I'm noting that in Mozilla/Firefox I get the typical warning under a spelling that does not equate with the spelling used in the current dictionary and yet these spellings are not UK English...

Even I choose UK English as my default dictionary the spelling of "colour", "neighbour", aluminium, still give this indicator.

Hi there,

Since i have changed my primary email (the last primary became the secondary) i can't no more sign-in to "firefox relay" or "paid subscription" from my account. So I'm correctly logged in https://accounts.firefox.com/ but from there i can't connect to others services. I have this message :

Menu: Third-Party Login Failure An error occurred while attempting to login via your third-party account.

It a little bi annoying when you have paid subscription...

Thank you for your help.

Mozilla firefox debian package 157.0.1

Does FF have a maximum number of windows / tabs that can be open at one time? I use 12 workspaces each with multiple windows / tabs in them, roughly guessing ~100 windows and ~8-50 tabs per window

FF randomly hangs / crashes 1-3 times a day for me and has been for some time (over multiple revisions of FF; currently 157.0.1) requiring restarting FF

System: Large workstation, 128G memory, i9-7920x (12c / 24T) Linux, OpenSuSE Leap 15.6 FF source from FF repos, not OpenSuSE

Any settings I need to change to prevent the crashes?

The latest Snap update on my Kubuntu laptop is marked as a BETA version. I haven't selected the BETA stream. I like to keep track of changes at each install and there's no Release Notes available.

Is this an error at your end or do I need to change something to get back to a stable version?

under the new nova ui style, settings ui now has a left hand column listing the settings categories available the selected catqgory is highlighted in a light purple color. not a fan. how do I change the color. don't mind collateral damage as not a fan of this color.
