I have been using the browser extension feedbro and i really enjoyed being able to plop it out of the main browser window and 'add it to the taskbar' but for a couple days this option disappeared. Is there another way to do this? did "add tab to taskbar" get removed for browser extensions? or is this feedbro related? i am unsure how to test whether the button is missing for other browser extensions as well.

added two images showing that the button is gone from feedbro and still there for other tabs/pages

I have just reopened my Firefox and have found that recent changes have suddenly put my tabs right at the top of the window - initially very confusing because I feared that I had lost them. I would like to put them back where I find them easier to work with, how can I do that?

I'm suddenly getting repeated/multiple Mozilla Firefox "Browser Alerts", "System Warnings," and "McAfee Critical Virus Alerts" that are wrong and dysfunctional. They pop up every few seconds. They contain "Remove virus now" and "quick scan" buttons, but these only take me to a bright red screen that says:

"Deceptive site ahead Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards."

These come even though I haven't tried to access any "deceptive sites." I have to x all of them out to clear my screen.

There's obviously a defect in your warning system. How do I stop this?

Hello! I'm on Debian, and there Firefox ESR is the default browser, it is now basically unusable as it is so out of date that Cloudflare Turnstile no longer works.

This is a major problem.

I have opened a ticket over at Cloudflare, but they have not commented at all on the problems: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/turnstile-not-woring-for-the-last-few-days/939637

Thank you for your time.

Even when I open a new tab in Firefox, the focus remains on the address bar. I'd like to know how to fix this. When I open a new tab, the address bar gets the focus, which I find inconvenient. Is there a way or setting to prevent the address bar from getting the focus and instead focus on the search box in the middle? I've searched online and tried the "settings in about:config" suggested in the search results, but it didn't solve the problem. Is it impossible? Firefox 153.0.3 64it

Yesterday, Facebook started to take longer and longer to load a page. Whenever I tried to post something and it took forevahhhh for it to show up on the timeline. I had to reload and repost several times since yesterday. All other websites are loading up just fine, but Facebook has taken as long as 30 seconds, sometimes even more before it refreshes a page.

Then.. it got worse. All I could see was the Facebook logo in the middle of the screen and nothing else.

Then it got even worse. As of this morning, I can't even get any results when I google Facebook! I put Facebook into the search bar, click return -- and nothing happens, absolutely nothing.

I'm not seeing any problems with any other website. I have already restarted my modem. I have already cleared out the cache and the cookies. I have restarted my laptop three times. I even looked up Downdetector, but there aren't any problems with the website in general.

Those are all the solutions I've found when searching about this, but the problem is only becoming worse, with everything I try. If there's something I need to change in Facebook settings, I can't do that, because now Facebook is completely inaccessible.

This is only happening on my laptop. Mobile is fine.

How do I recover the normal additional toolbar in firefox that shows options for maps, images, videos etc. This toolbar is no longer shown on firefox - perhaps it's because firefox has recently been updated and no longer gives that facility?

On my Ubuntu computer, I find that the New Tab extension does not update like in my Windows computer.

Does the extension update at the same time as on Windows? Is there a way to make Firefox update the extension since going to Extensions does not appear to do that for this extension like those I have installed myself?

I downloaded the Firefox ESR for my High Siera OS, but I still get the message that Firefox is no longer supported, Why??? Just let me know what I need to do so I can use the browser without worry.

I have a MacPro 2012, updated to the max. I'm retired, and by budget does not allow for a new computer.

Thanks. Doina Paraschiv

I use WhatsApp web with Firefox 151.0.3 on a Macbook Air. In WhatsApp web, you should be able to emoji over a message sent by someone else. One clicks on the smile icon at the side of the message, the emoji pallet appear above and select one of a handful of emojis. Since a recent update, the pallet no longer opens. It's just white space, the cursor does not change allowing you to pick one of the emojis. See screenshot. Is there a fix for this please?

Is there a theme or some other way to restore the classic styling instead of having these pills everywhere? This UX doesn't even make sense...tabs used to connect to the page content they were displaying, now it's just some disconnected oval; I have trouble seeing which tab is selected now because it's all various shades of grey that are about half a bit of luminosity away from each other...looking for suggestions on the best way to restore some sanity to this UI...

Certain websites can be reached and displayed, however when using their page search, it says access denied on this server. I've tried using another browser but the same message comes up. However, on my phone, and tablets, I have no problem.

Under Settings>Privacy/Security>Browsing Data there is no longer the option to Manage Cookies, despite the help section saying that is where to find it. There is no other place in all of Settings to find the list of cookies. There is only the ability to delete all cookies in History, which I have no desire to do. I edit the cookie list weekly, and it is only now, mid August 2026, under Firefox 153 on Win 10 that I no longer have access to them. How do I get it back?

I get messages, questions and info from Firefox in Dutch. My language preferences in setting is English UK across the board. Browser, preferred, fall back and web site language. It works most of the time, apart from with Firefox. What can I do to make Firefox talk English to me?

My desktop Firefox (version 155.0.1) has recently became unable to consistently access the Web site at this Web site this Web site. Chrome successfully accesses the site 100% of the time. Firefox's connection failures are intermittent, unpredictable, and usually go away on their own after varying time intervals (sometimes can't connect for up to 24 hours). I see status messages saying Firefox is trying to connect to the site, but it eventually gives up and times out.

I cleared the Firefox cache, but that had no effect. I don't recall making any significant changes to the Firefox settings lately. Any suggestions on what to look at/try would be greatly appreciated.

(Yes, I know the site doesn't use https: Its protocol is outside my control).

I have all the location settings I can find on my Firefox browser, google, and device turned off, but the new firefox weather widget still had my hometown as the default location, which is is not the same location as my IP address. And when I went to buy a book online through Thriftbooks with a guest account the address line autofilled with addresses in my hometown. I do not have any addresses saved to autofill. Where is this information being stored and how do I get rid of it?? Is there something in about:config I can shut off or disable?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
