I am one of those old-fashioned guys who has a title bar on the main window, and inside this (from top to bottom) a menu bar (File/Edit/View etc), then the current set of tabs, then the address bar.

I can click in the address bar and the caret appears, but the moment I start to type anything to edit the URL the address bar jumps up to to the top of the window, covering up the menus and tabs, with a menu of suggested URLs that at times covers most of the rest of the screen. Some images attached to show what I mean.

This started in a recent-ish release -- it didn't use to do this.

How can I prevent this behaviour, so I can just edit a URL in place the way I used to without the address bar jumping to the top of the window?

Currently using FF 135.0 (64-bit), Windows 11.

Recently starting having the issue where some whites and the tab icons appear washed out and even glitched out and pink when using my PC. I haven't made any significant changes to my system as far as I recall.

Colours in other browsers and applications are effected. Going to the same webpage on both Brave and Edge shows the whites correctly. On all the games on my PC there are no glitches in colours.

I have tried a few fixes already: -Removing and re-downloading GPU drivers - Fixes the issue temporarily. After about 1 day the issue comes back. -Re-seating the GPU - No fix. -Turning off colour override in Firefox - No fix. -Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox - No fix.

If anyone has an idea or knows the setting that may be causing this problem I would really appreciate it.

Why is there a setting that doesn't do [expletive]? Picture-in-picture can't be disabled through settings or about:config..... So how the living [expletive] do I disable [expletive] buggy [expletive]? And how the [expletive] do I set it to continue playing even after closing the small picture? Why is there no [expletive] setting for this while you have a setting that doesn't do [expletive]?

Using the Mozilla VPN, I select a location in the USA. After a few hours, my public IP address / location will be different than what I selected in the VPN app; for example, I select "San Francisco, CA" in the VPN, and a few hours later my email sign-in location (or using mylocation.org) is somewhere in India - that's not even in the list of locations we can select for the VPN. Is my VPN being hacked? I'm using Windows 11 with the latest update and the built-in Windows Security. On my android phone, the VPN location shows as 'Starkville, TN', which is also not on the VPN location select list.

This is a recent problem. I used to watch Peacock on Firefox with my ad blocking extension. Now I cannot watch Peacock videos. The page My Stuff displays but once I click on a program or episode to watch, I get the error screen. (see words below) Even with no ad blocker, I get as far as an ad beginning, and then the error. I have already refreshed my browser. This did not help. I can watch Peacock on Edge. (PC windows 10)

ERROR MESSAGE: Something went wrong. Sorry, your system configuration is not compatible with Peacock. Please check the supported devices in our Help Center (6007).

As the subject says Firefox very suddenly started giving me terrible loading times, despite all the sites working perfectly fine on other devices and browsers. Issue continued with troubleshooting mode, not sure where to go from here. I will open youtube, it won't load about 5 thumbnails, I click on a video and it sets it to 140p and then it still lags the entire video as if I was using 1kbps internet. I tested my wifi connection and its having no problems. Something similar happened when I used to use Opera GX, it was fine for a long time and then one day terrible performance. Please let me know where to go from here. Windows 11 Pro.

The problem I encounter has happened since I begin to use Firefox on Windows 11. The same problem happened to my Macbook as well, but a workaround is available. While with Windows 11, I can't find the solution anywhere on the web. Whenever I type on the browser, if I write a non-character notation right behind the word (like "this,"), the word would usually auto delete itself or sometimes, the word clone itself out (e.g, wordword, thisthi, etc.) or it deletes a small section of words right behind that non-char. I don't have insert turning on. I am quite uncertain whether you can reproduce this error on your laptop (for me, I have been through 2 windows 11 laptop and this error still persist). This error seems to only occurs for Vietnamese (Telex and VNI) default keyboard from Microsoft, Russian and English work fine. I suspect that it is caused by Microsoft Vietnamese, but I have unchecked all kind of spelling checking on settings. So should I use a third-party Vietnamese language typing for this situation or does it caused by something else?

Hi, after the recent update i am not able to click on the File menu on extreme top left corner, i think it is due to the rounded corners of the selection box, the corner pixels are inactive when hovering over. This makes clicking harder, before i could click it blindly by moving the mouse to the top teft corner fast, now i have to aim it, please fix this.

Hi!

I've noticed dropped frames in videos for a while now, but only recently tested the issue. Using youtubes stats for nerds, I found that when videos have a small viewport resolution, it starts to drop frames. (I would test with other sites but only know of youtubes stats for nerds system to detect issues like this) For example a viewport resolution of 1250x703 does not drop frames, however by unmaximising the screen and the viewport resolution drops to 681x383, it begins dropping frames.

Using my 2nd monitor which has a smaller actual resolution, the video drops frames unless fullscreened, see recordings below. Test A | Firefox Maximised but video not fullscreen Test B | Firefox Maximised and video fullscreen This issue also occurs with picture-in-picture mode.

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes this issue but for some reason only affects firefox, using MS Edge with "graphics acceleration" enabled does not result in this issue. Is this potentially an issue specifically with how firefox handles hardware acceleration? Also since I require hardware acceleration to be enabled for 3D model work in my browser, is there something I'm missing here that would allow me to keep hardware acceleration on but not have this issue?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

im not very good with tech so ive probably clicked the wrong things, but i cant use my firefox at all anymore. only to search up 'google.com' lol. it opens on the homescreen, but when i want to search anything it always comes out on the screen in the image included. ive been using firefox for a year or so and never had issues. ive tried deleting and reinstalling, restarting my laptop, the whole deal. im on windows 10 but that shouldnt be the issue i imagine. ive asked some friends and they dont understand it either. id love to get some help otherwise i might have to go back to google chrome D:

Hello. I installed the add on Tranquility Reader, found I did not like it, and uninstalled it. I have restarted my Firefox, as well as my PC, several times, but I still do not have graphics back like they were before. Am I missing something? Or has my whole system just gone on to another world??? So Aggravated! TIA Christie

I've loved Firefox for years but can no longer use it because I have been unable to resolve this issue. All was well, an update was done, and bingo, I got this message. I don't know how to fix it. I removed Firefox from my desktop and re-installed. Same problem.

"The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem."

So i use garuda linux(not sure if necessary but still telling). The ".mozilla" folder is about 134 GB! I have browsed it a bit and found a lot of this folders "vuzpdtyn.default-release-backup-crashrecovery", "tor50voj.default-backup-crashrecovery-", "profile-somestuff-backup-crashrecovery" Is it safe to delete the old ones from this?

There is a website https //secure.exeloncorp.com/login that will not load using FireFox. It will load using Google Chrome. Is this a function of the Website or FireFox? Is there a setting in FireFox that will fix it?

In the last few days, the common Cloudflare widget required to login to many web sites has abruptly stopped functioning in my browser. I'm trying to diagnose what's caused it. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice.

I noticed the issue on nexusmods.com, but I've confirmed it's a universal problem on ANY site that uses Cloudflare protection. I've continued to use Nexus as my test case.

Observed behavior: 1) The Cloudflare widget loads 2) It displays a checkbox noted, "verify you are human." 3) I click the checkbox. 4) It immediately begins "thinking" (spinny circle and "verifying...") for about nine seconds. There is an "error" message that appears during this, but no details are offered (see screenshot) 5) The widget reloads. 6) Go to step 2

This is an infinite loop.

Fixes attempted: - Disabling all extensions (uBlock, NoScript, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes) - Clearing cache - Updating to the most recent FF build - Accessing in a private window - Changing DNS settings from Cloudflare to NextDNS - Disabling DNS over HTTPS altogether - Disabling HTTPS-only mode

I've been using Android/google messages on web (messages.google.com/web) for years with Firefox with no issues. Starting today, the page will show the logo for about 10-20 seconds, then loads a blank page. I've tried unpairing, restarting my computer and phone, and restarting firefox. Was there a new update or something that might explain this? Any other thoughts?
