Why is Firefox creating many copies of webpages I visit? I go to a website, but then have to click the back button several times to return to where I was. Right click on the back button shows that there are several copies of the same page (see photo attached). What gives?

For months I've been living with an ongoing problem; when I watch some YouTube videos, the entire window will go black while the audio continues. I searched for solutions, which usually suggested the I turn off ad-blocking (which I don't recall turning on) and I was offered instructions to go to "OPTIONS" which doesn't exist on my version of FireFox, and no HELP articles offered a better solution. It seems that lots of people have this problem but MOZILLA ignores it or CANNOT fix it.

But I found a FIX. I no longer have this problem with YouTube. YouTube is a GOOGLE product, so I installed the CHROME browser. I think my FireFox related YouTube problems are now a thing of the past.

I would URGE MOZILLA to recognize the RUMBLE.com app and develope RUMBLE optimization tools similar to those that Mozilla developed for YouTube. RUMBLE is the free-speed answer to YouTube and is NOT owned by GOOGLE. It would be a no-brainer for MOZILLA to strongly support RUMBLE, but they act as though they've never heard of it. WAKE UP, HIPPIES!

I keep getting a virus alert when in Firefox. I have scanned with every known scanner and Mcafee, with nothing found. BUT it keeps popping up as an alert. I get no alerts when in Microsoft explorer. HELP!!!

This is pretty much the same as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/801343 back in Firefox 3.x → 4 times. I do recall having the same problem then, and disabling hardware acceleration did fix it back then, but it no longer does.

I’m currently on 115.3 ESR, but I’ve observed this for a while in Quantum (I don’t recall seeing it on Gecko with HW accel disabled).

All of a sudden, when I hover over a tab, a small window of the web site that tab is in, appears. Never happened before.

I did go into Performance Options - Visual Effects and unchecked "enable peek," but it didn't work.

How do I stop these windows from appearing?

Windows 10.

My computer just installed the new update and now I cannot access my passwords. It keeps saying I have to enter the master password, but it gives me no place to enter a password. When I click the "LogIn" button, the screen just blinks.

See the attached. Usually when the process gets above 1gb I kill it, but I've watched it get over 7gb before. This is a terrible nuisance that other browsers handle with ease. Why does Firefox allow such selfishness through your browser? You have the ability to allow or disallow anything! Get on top of it! I say this because more than a decade ago you had the same problem on Windows as you now have on Linux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET A FUCKEN BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP HIRING COMPLETE MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will soon be replacing and then banning Mozilla as an option on all Linux platforms and hopefully everyone else will ban you worthless retarded fucks too!!!!!!!!!

With more people using Firefox for a variety of tasks (work, personal, study), managing different profiles on the desktop version of Firefox has become a popular method to separate browsing data, extensions, and settings. This feature allows users to keep their work and personal browsing completely distinct. The question focuses on how users can set up, switch, and manage these profiles efficiently.

Key follow-up considerations could include:

How do profiles work within Firefox's ecosystem? What benefits do multiple profiles offer? Can Firefox profiles sync across devices? This question addresses the need for better organization in browsing and taps into a feature that isn't always utilized to its full potential.

I'm curious about the current state of Web Speech API. This is a W3C specification that was implemented in both Firefox and Chrome and includes Automatic Speech Recognition.

There is a demo page at https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speech-color-changer/

To use this in Firefox, I have to change two settings in about:config to True: media.webspeech.recognition.enable media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable

There used to be a setting that could be used to set a specific endpoint for the actual STT processing, but that doesn't show up in my list of settings anymore. I guess I could add it, but have no idea if it would be respected by the browser or what the endpoint should look like. Anyway, whatever endpoint Firefox is currently using does not seem to be working anymore, so I just get an "Error occurred in recognition: network" error.

In Chrome it works, but most likely is sending my raw audio to Google Cloud STT to do the actual transcribing. I'd like to be able to control the endpoint so I can use a local service connected to VOSK or Whisper or some other locally hosted STT engine.

I'm thinking about implementing something using WebRTC, but if anyone is working along similar lines, I'd like to join that project rather than creating my own.

Is anyone working on this?

I signed out of my google accounts in Firefox by mistake and can't sign in to my gmail from Firefox. All attempts at following instructions lead back to the same page. Image upload. It's a constant vicious circle and I don't know what to do.

I cleared the cache since midnight, long before the problem occurred. I've had to use Edge or Chrome to access my gmail and they work.

I don't know what to do and maybe it is a Firefox issue. It is updated since a few days ago. My gmail is ivangiesen1@gmail.com

Any help will be much appreciated Ivan

Running 132B3 the speaker icon besides the favicon to indicate playback in the tab is missing ever since updating to 132 first (see attached image). On 131 it was a speaker icon which you could use to mute/unmute tabs which showed up when audio or video was playing.

Compact density, title bar and menu bar is enabled along with Simple white by Moomin-theme and an added userChrome.css which can be seen here: https://pastebin.com/cLt2bSnR Along with a few changed preferences in about:config but those probably won't matter in this case?

Guess it's missing additional stuff in userChrome.css to get it working as before again? Or were the icons pulled from Firefox itself so the problem is accessing/referencing to them in the first place, hence why it's an empty circle now?

On Reddit a hover override from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1338919 was suggested but adding that didn't change the icons' behaviour unfortunately. Hovering over with the mouse cursor manually just fills out the circle with black.

Any help in the matter is appreciated, best regards!

Edit - Solved it with the help of another user, had to replace parts of the original .css with an override from another thread (https://support.mozilla.org/ml/questions/1338919 at the bottom). Looks a bit different now but that's fine.

Firefox replaced all of the current passwords on my account connected to the PC. The passwords on the PC were current and have now been replaced with old passwords via synchronization. Why are passwords for a connected account in the cloud no longer updated?

After recent update bookmarks disappeared. When I restore them and then close firefox developer edition the bookmarks toolbar is gone again. It seems like a bug in that recent update. Please advise.
