I'm enrolled in multiple classes at teachable.com and they both use my email, however, the classes are VERY different and I need two separate passwords. Firefox said NO. Is there a way to have two passwords using the same email address? I did try to log in when I signed up for the second course and it did not recognize my email address. The sign in process for the first site is slightly different and goes through the instructor's site, and then through teachable.com. My password for the first class is stored on Firefox under teachable...and I've emailed myself the password to the second class until I can resolve this. I thought there would be a comment field or something to differentiate the two courses. Please help. Many thanks!

In the past few months my browser has started adding white borders around the left, bottom, and right edge. This seems to be an exact duplicate of this archived post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1301702

I don't know why it was archived. The "solution" is to enable the Title Bar under the "Customize Toolbar" menu. But this takes up even more space on my screen than the borders: I don't want it.

It's like this on all websites. It seems to go away when I restart the browser but the borders are (usually) back the next time I start my PC. I'm using Windows 10, and my screen resolution is 2560x1440.

I do not have privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled.

Hi, I would like to join the chorus and say that the unified extensions button really needs to be fixed somehow. I can't stand it -- it slows down my workflow and seems like "change for change's sake".

But if you guys are serious that it can't be removed for some reason, then at least PLEASE make the unified extensions thing something that can be expanded horizontally along the toolbar (instead of just being a dropdown list) with preferred / most used extension icons visible in it, so that instead of

>clicking the unified extensions thing >scrolling down to find my extension >right clicking on the extension >choosing the option I want

It will just be

>click on the extension icon in the special unified extension section of the toolbar >the options for the extension pop up and I can choose one JUST LIKE THE OLD WAY THAT WAS EFFICIENT

I wouldn't even be opposed to an entire Extensions Toolbar with super security or whatever built into it. As long as the icons are still conveniently located and accessible!

I have a bunch of extensions that I don't need to interact with regularly, like my adblocker, https everywhere, or the thing to make webpages appear in dark mode. But every time I click the unified extensions thing they're right there at the top of the list. My screenshot extension however (for example), which I use constantly, is somewhere hidden near the bottom of the list, so I'm constantly scrolling down awkwardly looking for it. It used to be one button click to take a screenshot, now it's like five or six clicks and takes around 20+ seconds every time. IT'S VERY BAD USABILITY DESIGN. It might "feel" cleaner or more organized to put everything in a list, but it's not as functional for the end user (in my opinion).

Please reconsider your design of this thing and investigate the possibility of keeping certain extensions visible on the toolbar somehow to remain easily accessible to the user. Hopefully I've been able to explain my concerns to you. Anyway, I still love Firefox on the desktop, but if you guys can fix this that would be great.

Ever since the last two updates to Firefox, I can't use the browser without a lot of trouble. It won't launch for 15 minutes; links take several minutes to load; it's just not reliable anymore. The Firefox on my laptop works just fine since I refused to update it. I've tried starting in safe mode; disabling all add-ons; clearing the cache and history; uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works. I'm using Firefox 112.0.1 64 bit. Windows 10. How can I get Firefox to work again on my desktop?

I've recently switched from Brave and I've noticed that Firefox opens a new tab whenever I launch the browser instead of resuming to the previous tab I was on before closing it, I've tried to set the pinned tab as the default home tab but it just launches it in a new tab instead of opening the pinned tab. Is there a setting to disable this?

I have a Brother MFC-J53330DW printer, and cannot get the duplex printing feature to work on my computer since installing and selecting Firefox to be my default browser. It is a similar problem others have had in the past, and no solutions have come up that worked. I can print double-side/duplex in other browsers, and this feature used to work with firefox in the past. I updated the Brother drivers. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this issue? It seems like others have commented on it happening with other Brother printers with Firefox.

If you reference this question (Duplex printing not available on default Firefox profile) and others on the support site, the option does not show up in the print menu, or if using the system dialogue. Please help!

I've got this weird behavior happening where if my window is closed from maximize, which saves the browser's size, and I open it, it will first open in maximize then size down to the same size.

In other words, Firefox will always open the window to a specific size regardless of what it was when I closed it. This is extremely annoying.

Is this part of resisting fingerprinting? This is some unusual behavior that I haven't seen Firefox do before ever.

I can provide a little video if my explanation wasn't clear.

Website colors do NOT follow Firefox Theme or Appearance Settings. Or Windows. How to fix?

All non-Firefox web pages (40+) are in DARK mode. (Black background, etc.). While I used to prefer this, I have found that some websites have information that doesn't show up. So, I need to revert to standard Light Mode for websites. So, I have confirmed on my PC: - Windows 10 settings are set to Light Mode. - Firefox Appearance Settings are set to Light. - Firefox Themes have Light Mode selected and enabled.

The Result: - All my Firefox webpages and Settings, etc., follow the Firefox settings. If I change the Theme, for example, they all follow. - Non-Firefox webpages (40+) do NOT change. With all the above: No impact. They remain Dark, with black backgrounds. Rebooting doesn't change anything.

Somehow, I previously changed a prior computer having the same issue. I don't remember what I discovered (hidden) that did the trick. I remember it wasn't the Theme option. (PLEASE fix this, so that THEMES over-ride).

I have my Firefox accounts Synced (on several computers and phone). Is this a root of my problem?

Please assist.

Thank you.

Hello, I was hoping to switch from Chrome to Firefox but I've encountered a problem downloading to Google Drive while using Firefox. I typically switch to Reader View and then Click "Print" from the menu. If I was in Chrome, I would select Save to Google Drive as I have Google Drive on my desktop. Without that option in Firefox, I select Microsoft Print to PDF. I try to select Google Drive as the destination but I get a dialogue box saying that the File is Not Found. I really want to make Firefox my default browser but this may be a deal breaker. I can't find any Firefox add-ons that might provide a solution. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I am using a Windows PC with Windows 10.

I am using Firefox on a desktop and recently upgraded to 112. I have been trying for the last 6 months to SHORTEN the address bar (NO, I do NOT use Search on Firefox) and cannot find an answer anywhere. I am completely exasperated at all controls Firefox has taken away from users the past few years and this is the final straw before I leave you. PLEASE tell me how to REALLY shorten the god-awful length of the url bar so I can see more addons ON the desktop. Thank you very much.

I've been having trouble staying signed in on websites from Google (youtube, classroom & etc.) while using Firefox. I've tried everything from clearing cookies and allowing all cookies to reinstalling Firefox and removing all extensions, but the issue persists. I've also read other similar articles but they didn't work either. What steps can I take to fix this problem?

In the middle of the FF home page, the search box functions normally, but not on a new tab page. The box is fake and typing automatically goes to the address bar. I changed the setting in about:preferences#search to "Add search bar in toolbar." That resulted in adding a 2" search bar to the right of the address bar with a TINY font. VERY difficult to see.

Next in about:config, I switched this to false: "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar ". But, that didn't fix it.

An article on askvg.com said to do the above, but to do it in FF's NIGHTLY. To get the search box to function in the center of the page, will I have to install Firefox Nightly alongside my normal Firefox Release and fix it there? Then will it sync over to my regular FF and fix it? Or, is there another way?
