Hi, is there any fix for the following? The functionality is intentional but it is absolutely maddening, so I'm hoping there is a plugin workaround or something:

> Pinned tabs are bound to a specific window, so make sure to Quit Firefox while this window is still open and do not simply close a window and leave Firefox running with the menu bar visible.

The user should never be in a position where one simple wrong move obliterates things they've saved (even if it is a recoverable situation). To say 'the user must close windows in a certain order else lose all the tabs they clearly don't want to lose' is just bizarre.

Hey there,

Since upgrading to Firefox v100 a few weeks ago I've had incessant problems every time I reboot my laptop.

If I leave Firefox running (i.e. I just hit shutdown and let it sort itself out) then next time I boot up, and I try to open Firefox for it to load my prior session, it spawns a new window and just gets stuck forever. If I close Firefox before shutting down, however, it reloads itself just fine.

This has led to several lost sessions and having to restore using sessionstore, either when laptop has died or I've just shut the laptop down without thinking about it.

I run Kubuntu 20.04.

Thanks Chris

Dear Community,

Can you help?

Suddenly, about two or three weeks ago, it ceased to be possible for me to copy images from websites and paste them into Skype to share.

What is the reason for this?

Is it because Microsoft have somehow blocked this function into Skype?

Does anybody know?

Thank you for your help and best wishes

V.

Over the last couple months I've noticed that the tweet notifications that I receive from Tweetdeck and surfaced on Firefox don't resolve to the correct Twitter account. When I click on the notification popup they go to an account named @tweet "account: https://twitter.com/tweet?id=1536430888661053441&cxt=HCwWgsCjyZfwv9IqAAAA" most of the time. This used to work flawlessly up to a couple months ago. I'm not sure what's going on here, whether it is a Tweetdeck/Twitter issue or Firefox issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

Lately, I've been having problems using Google applications (gmail, maps, search). I'll enter an item in the search bar, hit enter, and nothing happens. Just today, I was using my gmail account and tried to log out but nothing happened. Google not working in Firefox doesn't happen every time, but it does happen at least once a day. This has been happening for a few months now. It does it on both my work and home laptops. Both are using Windows 10. I do not have this issue when using Chrome or Edge. Firefox is up to date. What's the problem.

Screen artifact at a site viewed in Firefox or IE but not Edge

This problem is a combo of the site and the browser. Here is a page of the site that misbehaves: https://www.yucatan.com.mx/merida/2022/6/13/detienen-en-merida-profugo-de-la-justicia-en-estados-unidos-326494.html (and attached) Most pages on the site do not misbehave. The problem is that the body text is all jammed to the right side of the screen. I have tried clearing the Firefox cache, and sometimes that works, I have tried restarting in troubleshooting mode, but that does not change anything. Internet Explorer shows the same problem, but the Edge browser does not display the problem. I suspect the site is doing something funky that results in a problem on some pages for some browsers. That's really hard to troubleshoot!

For the past few days I get the request to enter captcha characters every time I try to access the Amazon website using Firefox on my Win10 PC. It works fine on my Firefox for android on my phone and also works fine using the Edge browser on this PC.

I've tried resetting Firefox. I've tried troubleshooting mode. I've tried turning off enhanced tracking. What else could cause Amazon.com to feel the need to verify that I am not a robot ?

My bookmarks toolbar is empty. When looking through the bookmarks menu, it shows that none of my bookmarks have been removed, and they are all still listed as being present in the Bookmarks toolbar, but they are not displayed in such. To be clear, bookmarks toolbar is enabled, and I have already verified its positioning in the customize toolbar pane. There is a strip of empty space where they used to be, but they are simply missing now. How do I fix whatever issue caused the toolbar to cease displaying my bookmarks?

After the recent update, I have not been able to open a new incognito mode window with the Ctrl + Shift + Right-click keyboard shortcut, but I am still able to open a new window with Ctrl + N and new tabs with Ctrl + T. Re-installing the browser does not work nor does the shortcut work with the other Ctrl and Shift buttons on my keyboard. I have tested my keyboard and it does not seem to be the problem as everything functions properly on it.

Comments below youtube videos won't load. This happens across all browsers on this computer regardless of add-ons or being logged into youtube.

I've attached a screenshot that shows that 176 comments are below that video but none load. I'm using the latest Firefox version on Windows 7.

If you need any extra information I will gladly provide it.

You state that Firefox has no back door which allows you or anyone else to track browser user history or browsing information. But is that really true?

First of all, when a user searches using your browser, the search is conducted through Google. Unless one clicks on the button offered by Google to reject normal choices, and specifically opts out of user data sharing with their company, every trace of the user's search will be mined by Google. You should install an override which automatically precludes this step when searching on your browser, and ensure that there is no such sharing or mining.

Second even your company has admitted that you HAVE opened a back door for the NSA and other government agencies to track user information online. That means your browser is no different than any other one; for anyone who knows how to access and redirect this data can continue to do so, just as they would with any other browser.

While I applaud your effort to minimize data sharing on your browser, your publicity appears to be somewhat of a myth, for it bears little relation to reality .

More and more sites can no longer be accessed by Firefox. I work for Lowe's and it started with store site. Then other sites no longer could be reached. Now I cannot login in to my employee account. Always some message regarding incorrect protocol or certificate or some other security issue. None of these sites are bogus. I have tried all the suggestions given in support but it just keeps getting worse. I have used Firefox for years but will be forced to abandon it if I cannot find a solution soon. If you can help, please do.
