I recently made a switch to Firefox and while I've been able to find solutions to all my problems, I'm struggling with this one. I use drag-and-drop to upload images really often and in my previous browser (Opera), after my images have been dropped into Discord for instance, the folder would be hidden behind the browser. Firefox does not do this however and stays focused on my folder which means I have to manually click inside Firefox to continue with my work. I was wondering if there was a way to make Firefox come back into focus after I drop images in the browser.

After downloading Firefox browser from my organizations toolbox on my new enterprise Macbook Pro, I logged in using my email address, but my password was not recognized. After resetting my password and successfully logging in, none of my previous data is available. Is there a way to find this data from my last back up? I do have my Mozilla recovery key.

I cannot access the login page on assurancewireless.com. I get a 500 error and the attached message shows that there is also a 404 error.

Things I've tried: Disabling enhanced tracking Safe mode Disabling uBlock Incognito mode

None of these work. It simply will not load that page.

The site works perfectly in Chrome, but it's a pain to have to use Chrome for just that one site. How can I report this error to technical so it can get fixed?

Youtube H264 videos stop buffering after the initial portion

Having this issue with Youtube since a few days ago, on version 115.0.2 and 115.0.3, and only for videos encoded in AVC/H264. VP9 and AV1 encoded videos have no trouble buffering, only H264 is affected. Happens with or without adblocker, and on different OS. Cookies cleared, no dice.

Video would load the first 20-40 seconds, then does not buffer at all subsequently once it reaches the end of that portion. I have to skip a few seconds forward for it to load the next 20-40 secs, then it would get stuck again.

I can get around this issue by either lowering resolution to 480p (which looks terribly unwatchable), or turn VP9 streams back on (which does not work correctly on my setup, there's a driver bug that hasn't been fixed).

The sure way, and strange thing, is that AVC/H264 videos load and buffer with absolutely no issue when I'm logged out of my account. Also, works with no issue in Chromium, even while logged in.

Anyone facing this or similar issue recently too? Is it still ongoing for you?

I've had this problem off and on for the past month or so. I've read through every related question and tried all solutions presented without any luck.

When I press the star next to the address bar it turns blue, but no bookmark is actually created. When I press the star again it remains blue. No dialogue box shows up. When I right click on the open tab I get a grayed out dialogue box. I *can* bookmark several tabs at once, but that's it.

I've tried changing the preferences in aboug:config to true/false and back again. I've renamed/deleted the favicons folders. I've restarted both firefox and my computer. I'm running in safe mode with no extensions. This happend once about a month ago and resolved itself. Now it's back and doesn't seem to be going away.

PLEASE help. I've tried all the solutions mentioned here before but nothing is helping. :(

Hey, I switched from Windows to Mac and see a different behaviour in how cookies in private mode are handled. On Windows closing a private window clears everything, especially it logged me out from all websited I logged in in this private session.

Not on Mac I am still logged in in private windows after I close and reopen a new one. Also the zoom level ist kept.

Is this a bug or intended behavior having a private window that keeps all my logins in new sessions? And why is it different on Windows and Mac?

When I open a tab and go to a website, Firefox returns me to the previous page, no matter how many times I try to go back to my chosen site.

For example: I open a tab and my default page appears. I type in a website or click on a bookmark, and Firefox will get me there. However, the site I'm on won't stay; it keeps returning to the default page.

I've refreshed Firefox and reinstalled it, but no change. I put Firefox into Troubleshooting mode, but I didn't know what to do after that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

I recently updated browser and now I have a tab that I can't get rid of, I think it's the sync set up tab because it wants me to sync all my devices with firefox. It currently sits at 33% wanting me to upload firefox on my devices. I like firefox I've been using it as default browser on my computer since the beginning and with that being said I just want to keep things the way they are, I don't want to sync everything. To be honest I have loaded firefox on my iPhone a while back and never really used it as I'm accustom to Safari on the iPhone. I'm old school and old and like things the way they are lol.

Simply help me find how to double space. It is not obvious.

I started using Apple computers in 1980. A university professor, i urged my students to buy, Mac, even though the University was committed to the other.

I am forgetting things I knew relating to computer, in this case. Your Support site hides 'Double space' why? John Klassen

I am disabled and have been using Dragon for writing and reading for more than 20 years. With the new update I cannot install the Dragon extension into Firefox and the longer. This means I will be no longer able to use Firefox as my web browser. This means I will be going to another editor! This is a shame because I've used Firefox even before it was Firefox! (Netscape)
