In the last few days, after some minutes of usage, parts of Firefox become unclickable:

- I can still click on tabs to change tabs. - When hovering over the cross button to close a tab, it changes appearance as it should. Clicking the button does nothing. Ctrl+w still closes the button. - Clicking on the address bar does nothing. - Cannot click on back, forward, refresh buttons. - Cannot click on any add-ons. - Cannot click on preferences. - Can click on the button to open a new tab. There, I can enter an address. Once the page has loaded, address bar becomes unclickable again. - Bookmarks toolbar is still working as expected. - Keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+t, ctrl-w, ctrl-l) still work as expected.

I'm running ``` Mozilla Firefox 138.0 20250428130755 20250428130755 ```

on Manjaro 25.0.1 with GNOME 48

I am starting to use the new utility which allows me to group tabs. But I would like to see only the name of the group and not the whole list. How can I collapse the list of tabs which belong to a group leaving only the group name shown. Then with a click I should be able to see the corresponding list of tabs if I need it. Saving and closing a group is not a solution, as the group disappears from the Sidebar. Thank you for your help. Best regards Ray Ballisti [edited] @bluewin.ch Switzerland

Started a couple days ago

Youtube works fine for everything, except when i try to watch a video, the rectangle where the video is supposed to be appears black during loading (normal) but then vanish.

checking the console i get a huge error that's just unreadable for me

it doesn't happen on edge, or in private navigation

turning every addon off doesn't fix the issue, and it does it even in "troubleshoot mode"

i haven't "refreshed" because i don't know what kind of data will be lost when i do that

With the progressive rollout of tab groups having ended (I am assuming that because they are available by default in fresh installations), I would expect them to be available when I sync with my Firefox profile. However, when I sign in to the browser to sync all my settings, the option disappears. I am more interested in why the rollout never reached me than being told to enable tab groups in `about:options`. The profile switcher is also not showing up, but I am not sure if that is still in beta.

A major bug unfortunately means that Firefox cannot open in full screen anymore. I have tried restarting it more than a dozen times, but it still doesn't work. Please solve this as soon as possible; I am begging you, I’m on my knees for the developers.

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Copy, Cut and Paste are not working in Google Sheets or Google Docs using Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C or Ctrl-V. Other control combos do work such as Ctrl-Z, Y and F. These features are working on Chrome with the same files. I disabled extensions and tried the Troubleshoot mode. Neither helped. Using Firefox desktop 138.0.1 on Win-10 Pro.

Hi there, For a couple of weeks my youtube.com and myanimelist.net have both been outdated versions of the sites, such as my youtube showing recommendations i saw weeks ago and my myanimelist showing my shows as unwatched or at an outdated amount of episodes watched. It only changes back to up to date when i refresh.

I have tried clearing my cache and booting in safe mode and these both didn't work. This issue isn't that pressing but getting it fixed would be amazing. I couldn't find anything in the help forums or on google or reddit so Im asking here.

I want to edit a PDF with firefox. The PDF has two different address lines. When I put in one address it automatically copies it into the other line. But I the two addresses I have to put in are different. But when I edit one the other does the same. What can I do?

Hi Forum! My Firefox is constantly (weekly) asking to update, even though we're on the latest version (right now we're on 138.0.1 (64-bit) I've reinstalled Firefox a couple times but the issue still persists. I'm not sure what my next steps would be.

Thank you all in advance, I appreciate your knowledge and time!

My Mac shut down unexpectedly. Upon rebooting the newest version of Firefox - 138.0.1 was installed. All of my bookmarks have disappeared. I tried to restore from a backup but when I hit restore in the manage bookmarks window it says "choose file" but it lists no files to choose from. I found multiple backup files by accessing my Firefox profile via finder. However when I try to open them with Firefox it displays a blank page and nothing in the bookmarks tab. Is it possible that the bookmark files have also been deleted from the backups as well? If not, how do I transfer these files to the active bookmark tab in the menu bar other than using the restore function which offers no files to choose from?

Since the last Firefox update (138.0.1 64-bit Windows), the On-screen touch keyboard continually pops up even though I am simply touching icons (in YouTube), menus or whatever. (Using my Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 as a tablet - no keyboard attached) This is extremely annoying. The same problem has been reported in a Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1kb6zjo/onscreen_keyboard_keeps_popping_up_with_latest/ I've tried turning off the on-screen keyboard in Windows Settings, and I've tried settings in Firefox Settings. The problem doesn't happen when using Edge, so it is a Firefox issue. It also doesn't happen if I have the physical keyboard attached. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with version 2009, OS build 19045.5737. I'm running AVG Business Internet Security.

Hello Firefox Community,

I'm experiencing a strange issue with my website, https://www.hostgrap.com.

When I visit the site using Firefox, I get the following error:

Bad gateway Error code 502 Visit cloudflare.com for more information. 2025-05-14 04:02:47 UTC

Browser: Working Cloudflare: Working Host: Error

However, the same website works perfectly fine on other browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Safari.

Troubleshooting steps I’ve tried in Firefox:

Cleared cache and cookies Disabled all extensions Cleared DNS and HTTP cache via about:networking Checked proxy settings (set to system default) Tried Private Window Flushed system DNS Updated Firefox to the latest version

None of the above resolved the issue. The error appears consistently only in Firefox. I’m using Cloudflare for DNS and reverse proxy, and the server is working as expected for all other users/browsers.

Additional Info:

OS: Windows 10 Home Single Language Firefox Version: 138.0.3

This issue happens even after disabling all add-ons

No custom rules in Cloudflare specifically targeting Firefox or its user agent

Is there something Firefox-specific that could be triggering this behavior with Cloudflare or my server?

Thanks in advance!

I am not sure - I was not expcting a question from you. I was filling a Micro soft question naire about the change to Windows 11, as that would ruin me, with myeyes, and I was filling their form, in which they asked me to give a contact addres s from a list, and there was yours in the list and I ticked it. That's all.

With my near blindness, I may have made some mistake in their quesitonaaire... if so could you please send this to Microsoft? With my contact details?!

Thankyou.

IME toggle not working in youtube chat on Firefox, even in troubleshoot mode. It works in all other applications including Chrome browser yet I prefer using Firefox so hope issue can be solved.

When reading email messages the window is too wide for the Mac, therefore I am forced to scroll to the left to read my mail. how do i change the settings so that my email text wraps?
