Firefox Community Forum

I have 6 websites that I currently cannot sign into using Firefox. Support tells me to use those two crap browsers Chrome and Edge. I end up using Edge because it is embedded in my computer and I cannot delete. I will not install Chrome and have put on Avast Secure Browser and CClean browser. Both are just Chrome with a new gooey. My Father is also having the same trouble. Most of the sites are for Utilities and rewards programs. Avast is also blocked. Are you aware and working on getting this fixed?

The other day I accidentally pressed a keystroke that changed a Firefox setting, and now it thinks I'm on a mobile device/displays sites in mobile view where possible by default. This has persisted despite restarts of the browser and the computer and has been happening since Sunday (Australian time). I've tried opening the Responsive Design dev tool and I've sent screenshots to a techsavvy friend (I'm totally blind and use a screen-reader, so couldn't tell this was happening until I tried to use a site that had a radically different layout in mobile view), and aside from not seeing an exit button or a switch to change device mode, he couldn't tell what was going on.

I'm stuck and need help! I would like to unmobile my Firefox!

After firefox update, start page changed to first photo i added here, second photo is how it was before, is there any way to get it back? Before update i had version 131.0b9, now its 136.0b1

Hello, how can I remove or hide "List all tabs" btn?

Set "browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled" as "false" stopped working for me after update to version 131.0. Hiding the btn before version 131.0 was not a problem.

I saw in release notes that "List all tabs" got some changes. link

When i right click then i see a huge list of options i never had before, and open in next tab, copy and paste are no longer working. Added a screenshot of half the list of options i see when right clicking. It includes copy and mut and full screen options for video that i never had before.

135.0.1 (64-bit) on Win11

Hello. In the past two days I lose my tabs when I shut down Firefox. I used to be fine using the X at the top right and when I restarted the browser, all my tabs would still be there. Then they started going missing, so I started using the menu option to exit the browser. The tabs still went missing.

Then I noticed the square icon button on the extreme left and have discovered that Firefox has different windows, and that one of them (see attached image) has all my tabs in it, while the current window does not.

I cannot change Window 2 to be the current window. There is no obvious function on the page, nothing in settings and google is useless - I just get pages of discussion of how to tab between different apps on the desktop.

How do I make Window 2 the current window? See image.

Thank you

I currently can't stream anything, and this keep getting this message: Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. will be installed shortly,but it never installs.

I have a macbook air and am currently running macOS Sequoia version 15.0.1.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, removing extensions, clearing cache and data, unchecking and then checking back again the reproduce drm protected content but nothing has worked.

The newest version of Firefox now has what seems to be a permanent sidebar on the left side of the screen. This is incredibly inconvenient as 1) I have no need for it or any of the AI stuff and 2) I'm using an older screen that is square and so now web pages are contorted when I view them.

Please remove this bar or let me know how to remove it myself.

Thank you.

Whenever I open up PDFs within the Firefox browser, they have a black background and the text and images do not appear. I can copy the text and images out of the pdf and into a word document and it works out fine. Also opening it up on other applications works out fine. Attached is what happens when I open up a known working pdf in Firefox. The browser version is the current version, 135.0.

I would really like to move from brave, but really need tab groups before I do so.

Its marked as progressive rollout. What exactly does that mean in terms of when I can expect to get this feature?

I had a background image for the new tab page that has suddenly stopped working, it just displays a white screen. I clicked the 'reset to default' button next to 'Wallpapers' on the new tab page to try to fix the problem but nothing happens. No wallpapers show up under that section either where it used to be when it was working. I've restarted Firefox and the same thing happens. I have not enabled any third party CSS wallpaper.

Apart from that, everything else is working as it should. I'm sort of a computer-idiot so if anyone could please use layman's terms it would be very much appreciated!

Hello, At one time I could login at home to view my Spectrum.net account on Firefox (default browser), now I get a popup which reads "This feature is currently unavailable. Please try again from home or contact us for assistance. "IDID-4000"

I get the same message on my laptop and desktop, both running Firefox. I can switch to the Edge browser and login with no issues. I have cleared cookies and used other suggestions I have read on the web, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks! Tony

I only opened 5 pages (fixed tabs), and only enabled two plug-ins, Proxy SwitchyOmega and AdGuard AdBlocker. The browser was always open, and the pages were static, and nothing was playing. The strange thing is that it didn't take up much memory at the beginning, but it took up more and more memory over time. Today the system got stuck and couldn't respond (it might be that the system used virtual memory).

I used the browser's task manager, which showed that the Shared Web Process memory of several pages was very high, some as high as 4G, and the GPU memory was also higher than before.

I think this is very strange. Why does the memory usage increase exponentially after the webpage has been there for a while?

My settings and usage habits have basically not changed. I didn't have this problem before, but it has appeared in the past six months. I have updated many versions, but the problem still exists. I have always used Firefox. If it continues like this, I will be very disappointed and have to make changes.

I cannot use Firefox or Thunderbird I keep getting an error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR The problem started straight after the latest update a few days ago.

I have cleared the cache and cookies I turned off the addons and extensions I shut down the internet security I changed the proxy settings to "no proxy" I even changed cert9 to ccert9 and had firefox generate a new cert9

Nothing has worked.

HELP!

Hi, I hope someone can help me. Please note I live in UK and I have a Desktop Computer but do not have a mobile phone. I use Firefox browser. This is what happened over 2 days Thurs and Friday. 28-11-24 THURSDAY @1.38pm On Thursday morning I used my computer with Firefox browser, and it worked perfectly OK. Then I had to go out shopping @11-15am. When I came back in doors @1.38PM I turned on my computer, it booted up as normal, then a Blue Screen appeared, with a message from Microsoft re back up in Cloud. I have not actually used Cloud before, although I did try to set it up earlier this year but not completed. So, I thought I would try again. This time I tried to register for the first time on cloud, I entered my email address and country, date of birth and then a password. Maybe something else, can't remember.

Then it asked for a code number that it said it had sent to my email, but I could not get that email then as I was stuck in between booting up and the Desktop screen. ( I DO NOT HAVE A MOBILE PHONE) As I did not have the code number, I clicked on, what may have said “not now” or similar message. Anyway, it would not continue so I had no option than to press the back button arrow, top left corner, several times. I think it took me back to the page with choices. I think I clicked remind me in a few days, which took me to the Desktop.

Normally my computer automatically opens Firefox Browser, but this time, I had to open Firefox, still no problem so far and the rest of Thursday OK. I did not try Microsoft Cloud again on Thursday.

29-11-24 Friday @ about 10.15am I thought that when I booted up, it may go back to where I left it Thursday, but no. When I turned on, there was no sign of the Blue Screen or Microsoft Cloud message re Back Up. When computer reached the Desktop, it did not load Firefox but an ERROR MESSAGE. It said. ERROR: PLATFORM VERSION "133.0" IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH MINVERSION >= 132.0.2 MAXVERSION <= 132.0.2 MAYBE TRY TO REINSTALL FIREFOX

It worked perfectly well before I tried to set up Microsoft Cloud yesterday (Thurs 28-11-24) now I cannot load or use Firefox at all, because it comes up with the same message every time. I have tried turning the computer off and back on, no luck.

My worry about Reinstalling Firefox is that I have hundreds of websites saved in bookmarks folders and I am not sure if I would lose them.

At this moment I have had to endure Microsoft Edge which I don't like. Don't put me through any more pain. Can you please help out a pensioner lost in the modern technological world. Thank you David

I have been unable to sign in to google accounts on 3rd party websites for a while now. I'm using firefox develloper edition. i do not have this issue with normal firefox

every time i try to sign in i get redirected to https://support.google.com/accounts/a.../32050?hl=en

Heres some of the things i tried:

• Clear cache and cookies
• "repair" Firefox from the uninstaller
• Reinstall Firefox

To be honest it is quite a bit annoying and i cannot find a solution thanks in advance for any help

At some point Firefox stopped allowing me to drag tabs or bookmarks around. This includes moving tabs around in their order, dragging a tab into a new window, dragging tabs into bookmarks, moving bookmarks around in the browser. I can't drag them around in 'manage bookmarks' either. I can still open and create bookmarks; they are simply much more difficult to place where I want them.

I believe this happened with the last update but it's not a feature I use all that often so it could be older.

I have opened Firefox in safe mode and had the same issue. I have turned off the computer several times since this began.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone!

Since last update (136?) when I open a page with a video in a new tab, the width of this tab is very small! Almost half my current tab.

(I don't have another example but does this have anything to do with any "media" on a page?)

I have the width set to 152 for years...

When I play a video, the current tab is reduced. Pause= normal tab. Play= small tab. Pause= normal tab...

"browser.tabs.tabMinWidth should have been adhered to."

I just completely reinstalled Firefox: still the same.

What can I do, please?
