Hello,

So I have this habbit I love which is opening a link on a new tab, then continue browsing the content on my old tab until the new one loads, or when I am done reading through it. Recently, firefox has been switching automatically to the new tab once it loads, which interrupts my workflow/reading a lot.

Is there a way I can stop this or turn this feature off? I believe I start experiencing this after an update.

Hello! I started encountering this problem as I updated my OS to windows 11. I had eset nod antivirus, but uninstalling it nothing changed. Tried to change MTU cache size through CMD. Changed different DNSes Tried to disable all protection settings in browser and in windows settings. Deleted all extensions. NOTHING helped except clearing cache of the browser, but this is fixing problem only before first browser restart. Other browser on laptop works normally without any issues.

I use Mozzila Firefox private browsing to connect to my bank account and the Social Security website. Social Security changed their website during the last year to use three outside vendors to check/confirm logon credentials. I use the ID.Me one mostly. So I go to the Social Security website and push the Login button. The website then displays the the three vendors and pick ID.Me. Once you've made your selection, you go to a notification page that says, you are leaving the Social Security page, "go back" or "yes". When I pick "yes", the computer always locks up. I have never had this clear up. The only way to proceed is to long press the On/Off button to do a hard reset.

I have an older Acer computer, Aspire 7, and it is running Windows 11. I can reach the Social Security if I use the Duck, Duck, Go web browser.

Have you seen this problem before or has it been previously reported? Is there a fix available?

I have used Firefox for years, and especially since the ability to pin tabs was created. After this last update I experienced an issue on one website, which the tab is pinned, that was not present before. After putting things into my shopping cart, I click on the shopping cart and if the original tab is pinned then the shopping cart opens in a new tab. Before this latest update Firefox was smarter than that.

If letterboxing (anti-fingerprinting) is used or when a webpage is smaller than the window (such as in about:config), Firefox fills in the rest of the window using a dark gray. I want to make it completely black.

This is what I currently have in my userContent.css

```CSS @-moz-document url-prefix("about"), url-prefix("chrome"){

 body{ background-color: rgb(0 0 0) !important };
 .sticky-container{ background-color: rgb(0 0 0) !important };
 #toolbar{ background-color: rgb(0 0 0) !important };

}@-moz-document url-prefix("about"), url-prefix("chrome"){

 body{ background-color: rgb(0 0 0) !important };
 .sticky-container{ background-color: rgb(0 0 0) !important };
 #toolbar{ background-color: rgb(0 0 0) !important };

} ```

Firefox is not letting me access my Windows or Microsoft account. (using WIndows 11) The login popup is asking for School or Work email, which is not applicable to me. I input my usual login information and Microsoft pop-up says account does not exist. When I login to Windows, using a different desktop (Windows 10), I do not have login in issues.

What is the browser setting that needs to be updated.

Firefox keeps locking up, for want of a better description. It will minimize itself, and when I go to click on it, it will not open/maximimize or let me use it. It then also won't allow itself to be closed (by using the only option available, the x on the taskbar icon). I end up having to restart my computer to get it to go away and then work properly (for a little while) when I restart. Firefox used to be my favorite browser, but I'm getting really frustrated. It's updated and still won't work properly. Help. Please.

I have been a Firefox user for many years and love it. Recently I am having lots of problems with entering information into fields (credit card number etc). I'm also having trouble logging into sites I have been using for years and other people are having the same problems. I have tried deleting cookies etc with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) would be oodles better if it grabbed the title of the page & suggested it as name saved document.

(on Android, it's worse than pc or mac- don't even have the opportunity to make a name up. just get some rando alpha-nameric.)

On Galaxy 23 Ultra using Android 14 & Ui 6.1 w/ Firefox, my Bookmarks disappeared. How do I get them back? Tried about:profiles, but nothing comes up. Recently due screen going haywire, phone was reset & the shop left me with Google, which I hate. Have been things getting back to Firefox I've used for years. Not sure if lost then. Bookmarks screen/setup I get, must be Google's, because it's not like FF's. I have Samsung & Google backups, but didn't realize Bookmarks were not put in them. Phone & apps are kept updated. FYI if it matters: Due to storm damage, I'm without a computer that might help. Help, pls. I'd be very appreciative.

Software is Preventing Firefox From Safely Connecting to This Site

news.google.com is most likely a safe site, but a secure connection could not be established. This issue is caused by Private Internet Access, which is either software on your computer or your network.

What can you do about it?

news.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

   If your antivirus software includes a feature that scans encrypted connections (often called “web scanning” or “https scanning”), you can disable that feature. If that doesn’t work, you can remove and reinstall the antivirus software.
   If you are on a corporate network, you can contact your IT department.
   If you are not familiar with Private Internet Access, then this could be an attack, and there is nothing you can do to access the site.

Can't log in to spectrum.net. I called Spectrum. They had me clear cache. I also Closed out of Firefox and logged back in. Still couldn't log into Spectrum. Tried to log in using Google Chrome and was successful. Why can't I log in using Firefox, my default browser?

I have used Firefox for ages now and love it. I have noticed in the last few months that some functions on some web sites are not able to be accessed. Such as submit, place an order, and the like. I have to use another browser. Is there any reason for this as I really don't like to use any other browser other than Firefox but it seems to be that I have to. Is there some way that I can get around this?
