Hello Mozilla Team,

I am facing a glitch that is as hilarious as it is frustrating. Firefox has decided that my professional life must permanently take place under a massive, virtual Apple Park Rainbow. And I cannot turn it off.

The Tragic Backstory: This is the system-level macOS camera background. Usually, you disable it via the green camera icon ("pill") in the macOS menu bar. However, the moment Firefox accesses my FaceTime HD camera, the macOS camera menu completely freezes. It becomes unclickable.

What I’ve tried so far (and failed):

   Google Meet says "No effects applied". It has no idea the rainbow is even there.

   I used "Refresh Firefox" to completely wipe my profile. The rainbow survived.

   I forcefully revoked camera permissions via Terminal (tccutil reset Camera org.mozilla.firefox). Upon granting permission again, the rainbow immediately returned from the dead.

   Restarted the Mac multiple times. No change.

   Even opening the native FaceTime app to override the toggle failed, because Firefox seems to have locked the video pipeline down.

It seems Firefox is caching or hard-locking the macOS video effect stream and won't release it, while simultaneously breaking the OS-level menu bar toggle.

I love rainbows, but my clients during business calls are starting to wonder about my sanity. How do I force Firefox to drop this video stream and let me return to reality?

Several times I've seen Firefox bookmarks becoming lost, disorganized, or duplicated. The missing ones have typically been folders of bookmarks. The duplications have been typically of folders. The disorganizations have been folders ending up in a different position in the list, often at or near the bottom when that's not where I put them. What causes this, and can it be prevented?

Hello,

Since several months I had the experience that when I open a new tap, all my open taps, sometimes perhaps 25, are completely gone. Spend a lot of time in search and then I lose everything. Did not find a way to restore, sometimes I could. How it happens and how to do? It is more or less from the time that there is a special sign left from my toolbar and since that sign is there very strange things are happening. Is there a solution for it. Since this sign is there evrything becomes complicated. Thanks for hel in advance. Theo

Hi Mozilla team,

After a recent Firefox update, my Home/New Tab page changed dramatically and became hard to use. The issue is not just that the layout looks different — the new page is functionally worse for me because the shortcuts are oversized, they obscure the search bar area, and the trending/recommended stories are difficult to read.

I tried the usual fixes:

   I changed the New Tab/Home settings.

   I tried the about:config change to restore the older layout.

   The page returned to normal once, but only for one instance; after that, it went back to the problematic layout again.

So I think there are two problems:

   The redesigned Home/New Tab layout is too cluttered and interferes with basic use.

   My preference change is not sticking, because the page resets after a restart or later reopening.

What I need help with is:

   Why the Home/New Tab page is reverting after I change it.

   Whether this is caused by a Firefox study/experiment, session restore, a profile issue, or an extension.

   How to make the older compact layout stay permanently.

   My Firefox version is 153.0 (aarch 64).

   The problem happens after every restart of Firefox.

  Troubleshoot Mode changed nothing.

   The browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled setting was reset to false and that has held.

   I'm on macOS

   Using Sync across devices.

In addition I cannot find session restore - I was going to try unchecking it to see if that helps

I have noticed for some time when I access Facebook the site reacts very slowly and hangs up frequently. When I access Facebook on the Chrome browser I don't experience the same problems. So, it appears my Facebook issue is a Firefox browser issue. Can anyone please help and explain how I can improve my Facebook experience while using Firefox. Appreciate any help. Thank you.

I have reloaded Firefox and rebooted the computer multiple times, and the error message continues. I have not changed any of the computer settings that I am aware of. The error message is:

Firefox can’t connect to the server at web.whatsapp.com. What can you do about it?

Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi.

Hi, For a few days while I've been watching content on YouTube and several other streaming platforms, I have noticed that my screen will randomly go completely dark, then slowly fade brightness back up. While it is fading back in, there is an intense grey tint over the whole screen that takes longer to fade away than it takes for the brightness to return to (relatively) normal. This seems to only be happening when I am in full screen, and I truly have no idea what setting or issue could be causing it. At first I thought it was part of a video I was watching, but now that it has happened across quite a few videos and several different streaming platforms, I figure it must be something to do with the browser itself. Sometimes when it goes dark, the screen stays practically black for several seconds before beginning to fade the brightness up, sometimes it is less than one second that it's dark before going grey and fading back up. Interacting with some buttons seems to make it go back to normal, although when I click on settings on a video for example, when I click off of it/close settings, the screen goes back to however grey it was when I opened settings. Sound continues normally the whole time, and the only thing that seems to prevent it from happening is not using full screen, which I don't want to have to resort to, but it has become rather annoying and confusing. Any help is appreciated!
