In the "comments" section of a Yahoo article, a notification will appear that someone has replied to a comment I submitted previously. By clicking on that notification you are supposed to be returned to that article and directly to my comment and the subsequent replies to it. Firefox is returning me to the articles' comment section but not to my specific comment and any added replies.

Microsoft Edge DOES send me back to my specific comment. I cannot find anything in the settings for Firefox that would control this.

So when i first updated to 137.0 tab groups were working fine, then one day i couldn't create any more. I had a previous tab group, but when i deleted it, there was no way to make another. I tried dragging tabs on top of each other, tried right clicking a tab to "Add Tab to New Group" but there wasn't an option. I updated to 137.0.1 to see if that would fix it, and it didn't. I then tried to uninstall and reinstall still no. I turned my computer off and then on again and also no.

I'd really appreciate any help with this because i'm kinda tearing my hair out trying to find out what changed.

After today's 2025-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5055523) update, Firefox does not allow me to log into my Dominion Energy Credit Union account (see attached login error screen). Using Firefox Private Browsing, however, DOES allow logging in. I have cleared the cache, restarted the browser, and restarted the computer several times. Please advise.

I've been a Firefox user for at least 10 years. I recently installed Firefox on a new desktop PC, and the Firefox Privacy Notice tab popped up. "No worries," I thought, and read it and made my cookies choice. I didn't find anything about a separate "submit" or "Close" gadget, so I simply closed the tab. Now, every time I leave the Home page or open a new tab, the Firefox Privacy Notice keeps popping up. Please advise me how to close it for good.

After downloaded the app I changed a lot of settings, including checking the box to "open previous windows and tabs" on start in settings, however next time I opened the browser it didn't open my previous tabs and when I went to check the setting the box was unchecked and it won't allow me to check it. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Note: IIRC, I changed all my settings and then created a Mozilla account and that is the only possible connection to this issue that I can think of.

A strange bug seems to have reappeared in Firefox 135.0.1 on Windows 11...

If I'm playing a YouTube video in the browser, and then reload the tab, the last fraction of a second of audio from the video will play on loop. It doesn't stop until new audio is sent to the WDM audio device (from any application).

The same thing can happen while seeking through a video. When the video playback resumes from the seek point, the new audio clears the stuck audio loop from the previous segment.

While I appreciate the unintentional tribute to Max Headroom, it does get a bit annoying.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Dear support person,

When streaming video games on multiple platforms i use a dock from a website called social stream Ninja. This opens a browser page that shows chats from 3 platforms, Twitch, Youtube and Kick. I have a dual PC setup, so i game on the first PC with the second PC running the actual stream through a capture card.

When i go into SteamVR, i add a desktop panel with that exact dock/webpage on firefox, but the page "pauses" and chat doesn't update anymore. I thought this was a focus issue, so i tried this plugin = Always active Window - Always Visible

Sadly FireFox still doesn't update the page, therefore stream chat doesn't show up, the page pauses. A sort of work-around is running the game in borderless window, but this is VR, and eats up quite the bit of performance, fullscreen is preferred. The borderless window works on Assetto Corsa VR, but on Dirt Rally 2 VR it doesn't, so I really need FireFox to update the page in the background.

I've been tearing my hair out trying to find a solution, the 'focus' plugin was my best idea.

Any chance you could help me?

Kind Regards,

Carlo

Using Firefox 136.0 and previous vers. Some web pages are displayed in portrait mode. (or seem to be) In Firefox these pages are??? not right. If I copy and paste url to MS Edge the page displays properly even although the presentation is still in portrait mode (or seems to be). i.e. the data displayed on the page does not go out to the edges of the screen but sits in the middle in portrait mode for example see: https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

Attached images show Firefox and MS Edge screen grabs and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page which displays correctly in Landscape mode (or seems to)

I wish to undo the changes to the sidebar introduced with release 136. I want a sidebar for bookmarks, but the Bookmark Sidebar per se, not the multi-functional Sidebar that has replaced it. The new version takes up unnecessary screen space even when I only select bookmarks. I have Firefox installed with Windows 11.
