Firefox Support Forum

So today I open up Firefox, and my now tab bar is now on top of the browser address bar.

In addition to being super annoying, and more to the practical point, inefficient. Is there a step by step way to put it back under the address bar?

I am asking for step by step instructions because I'm dyslexic and have difficulty thinking through partial instructions.

If this is the paradigm - and then this would be a stupid design move - with Firefox, I'll have to rethink if I am going to continue using the browser.

When I use Firefox to open google maps, it shows my location at least 30 kms from my actual location, which means all the local information is wrong and I have to scroll and reset. I am sure it didn't use to be like this. I have tried everything I can think of or find to tell Google maps that I am in Ellesmere Port not Bebington but to no avail. Given that these days I would think computer information could almost tell me what room of the house my PC was in I am baffled why it can't even get the right town. What's going on?

I am using Firefox version 112.02 with Windows 10 and am being told by some websites that my browser is out-of-date and that I cannot continue. Then today I was purchasing tickets for a show and the checkout was blocked by another message which said "Firefox Can’t Open This Page. To protect your security, **********.co.uk will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Please advise how these measures can be removed or disabled as they are a perfect nuisance.

Still at a loss that since the FF 112 update, I have not been able to use mouse over (hover) and highlight a Biblical scripture in the program "Instaverse". So far, the problem has not been solved. I have used this browser and Instaverse in preparing sermons for years and it worked perfectly with the FF Browser and Microsoft Word (still works perfectly with Word). I use the desktop version of Windows 10 and discovered that in order to get Instaverse to work with FF, I have to use the 32 bit version. It did not work this time. My question is "Why?"

I have been using a financial site (Credit Union) for years. A few days ago I started seeing what appears to be code in the menu bars instead of text or icons. The site claims it is fine and the issue is either Windows or a browser problem. Windows 11 is up to date and Firefox claims to be also. If I use Edge (NOT my default browser) the site works fine. Attached are screenshots from each browser and a shot of the browser console after logging into the site. Whazzup?

No matter which option I select for opening a PDF (Open with Firefox, Open with Adobe Acrobat, or Save File) the PDF automatically saves itself to my Downloads folder. I do not want this. I don't want to constantly have to go in there and delete all these PDFs that I only needed to view once. Is this a feature or a bug? If it's a bug, please help me fix it guys. If it's a feature, that was a terrible decision from the Firefox dev team. I can't be the only one annoyed at this??

Sir, I re-flashed windows on my laptop about 14 days ago. When I install Firefox the mail password in sync shows wrong. Then when I add a new password to the Forgot Password again, I lose my previous bookmarks. Where I had many important credentials. Please help me by returning them. Thank You.

I want to block certain sites with the registry. But that method was too difficult for me. Can you elaborate on what to do? Please?

When I go to my site www.unitedcomputerconsultants.com the navigation menu loads, but the text links do not appear for 60 seconds. Although they seem to be OK in Windows machines. I am using an Apple Mac Pro Can you please help

Several login pages don't load correctly, completely or at all since the last update. Binance homepage doesn't load the login menu (see attachment), direct url page just shows white screen. I also had some issues with logins on my health insurance site, downloading pdf's, everything just being incredibly slow, pages getting stuck, no loading icons. I cleared my cache and cookies, and it seems the problems got worse. I'm running a VPN, turning it off didn't fix these problems. Everything works fine in Brave. I tried troubleshooting mode, but once that was started up I didn't know what to do.

I know you cant help with part of it. When i launch a video i have bought on steam it now opens it on my default browser which is firefox, but it tells me its not up to date so i cant watch anything. at this point its forcing me to go back to chrome since it works.

Long term issue of losing pinned tabs because I break a tab off the main firefox instance to work on it in a seperate window and then at some stage I close the firefox window that contains the pinned tabs AND AFTER I close the breakout tab and this seems to remember that no pinned tabs ever existed. This behaviour is idiotic and clearly buggy, certainly shouldn't be a feature or normal behaviour.

The pinned tabs feature is advertised as placing permanently some tabs that open for sure at every launch of firefox in a known location to the left - things we use just about everyday (gmail, iCloud, reddit etc), hence their permanence and it seems to be impossible to code something that if NO firefox window is opened then when we launch Firefox we get the default view of our pinned tabs and a fresh page OR default homepage etc.

Seems ridiculous to me. Whats the logic here ? I vote FOR making this a permanent feature.

Firefox used to open maximised but now opens in a half size window. I recently had an issue, following a Firefox update, of Google maps controls in the lower right corner missing. Also I could not toggle between map views. After advice from the forum I changed the "privacy.resistFingerprinting from 'false' to 'true'. This solved the Google maps problem but seems to have introduced the issue of Firefox opening in a 'half size' window. Any thoughts on what to do next, or do I live with it? Thanks - Chris

I do not have any sound and all taps are unmuted. I have sound when using Google Chrome, Edge and when playing a video with VLC. I have tried to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but still no sound.

Kindly help.
