Firefox Community Forum

whenever I do a Firefox update, there sometimes is a new extension included that I personally feel no use or need for..most of the time I can disable them w/programs like Ccleaner (see image), but some are persistent, and return the next time I open Firefox. Firefox always consumed a significant portion of my 8gigs of RAM, and my latest update to 144.02, it is approaching 15%. Any way I can stop this short of reverting back to previous version?

Hi; I've signed up for the vpn, several times, but nothing appears. I don't see any box on the top right of any bar. I don't even know the symbol, but have checked all that are there. How do I turn it on? I found something about "privacy windows" but that just leads back to the signup page. I know it'll be simple, but I'm missing it totally.

Does anybody know if there are any plans on updates that would allow Facebook-users to make videocalls on Firefox again, with the new E2EE-feature? Currently it is not possible on Firefox at all since Firefox does not support this feature and switching to another browser for each videocall is a bit troublesome, so an update would be greatly appreciated.

During choosing online Translate Language Beta Version An option then from language mostly langauges available but from English to PUNJABI that is no longer made available online, offline or to say translate page/webpage not available in bilingual version from any language to Punjabi or usually to say from english to online, offline punjabi version not there even in firefox setting checked all options but still not found there anymore.!?

This is both a settings issue, and a privacy and security issue. I want to disable the google lens context menu item to protect my security and privacy from constant AI monitoring. I've almost accidentally clicked the new option before and I don't want to send photos or images to google's AI unless I specifically intend to do so.

I feel like Mozilla is interfering with people's privacy more and more, taking away features from their users, adding features we don't want, butting in and telling us how our browsers should work. This is starting to become absurd. Now you've added AI into the browser that can control how your tabs are displayed and named even, a setting I found while trying to disable Google Lens.

There's a couple other settings I need to figure out how to disable too, such as the context menu of translate and the ChatGPT context menu items. I just removed ChatGPT and a new AI chat bot option appeared. Just wow. What the hell Mozilla. Is your intention to just turn your browser into one big spyware?

Give me the option to disable all of this stuff you keep adding. I have a policy thats supposed to disable your auto updates too but YOU disabled that as well allowing you to install all this malware/spyware into my machine without my authorization.

I want to know why DeTrumpify has been blocked. I use it to block Trump because he is toxic and I don't need that in my browser. So now the very tool I use to block all that hate has been blocked for being hateful? Mozilla, grow a back bone already! And leave my extensions alone! I'll decide what is hate on my device. I don't need a scared corporate nanny to do it for me. Pathetic. DO BETTER!

When i try to print a pdf file trough gmail trough the preview window of the pdf, instead of printing it downloads a pdf file with a very long name (example of real filename: ACFrOgAcZiEDMs3JEBQmIpDaAGloJLSCzqQnju2ahdPe2m6v--kxq5xmHsQ3_OiYnd1RVZ5fR46JDQDXONNeSB2VeMNtaXzW3U7wPL1OahSYDRH2GxIrcVbFC68h2sFQPuJpmH_Id0M_oYukAKAjAq4dkn6a4oiPfF9Un5V3Cw==) which looks like javascript to me.

when I open the pdf file (my default viewer is adobe acrobat) it opens the file instantly with the print dialog open.

I have tried about:config booleans regarding opening and downloading pdfs

I have tried checking firefox settings and there is only "always ask", "save file" and "adobe acrobat" options and no "open in firefox" option and when i make it "always ask" and choose "open in firefox" from that option it just repeatedly gives me the "ask" window on new tabs each time i click ok.

I have also checked popups for gmail, they were not blocked so i have disabled and re-unblocked popups from gmail site

it works on every other site but gmail which is the main place i need to print files from.

Hello. I am using Linux Mint 21.3 cinnamon and Firefox 144.0.2 When I use Google maps and the yellow small pointer (cartoon) to go on a specific street, the window come black when shifting to street view. My only extension is disabled, hardware acceleration unchecked, cache cleared and cookies cleared. I have made fresh install and nothing help. Troubleshooting mode allow street view to work fine but normal mode don't work. Google chrome work good. Chromium work good. And finally, Firefox work ok on my Linux mint LMDE 6.

Any idea where to go to solve this issue?

Thanks for your support

Since the new CEO of Firefox seems to be very determined to add more AI features to the browser that I've been using (among other things) specifically to escape AI slop, I will be considering switching to another browser. It will be disheartening to abandon the browser I've been using for years, but I value my personal data (and cpu) too much to let an AI handle it. I appreciated his words that it would be "Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off", but I strongly believe that all AI browsers are inherently insecure. The first AI feature that I can't make completely disappear forever with one click will be my sign to switch browsers. Hopefully, Firefox re-thinks its approach and decides not to destroy the exact thing that makes it so valuable - the commitment to protect the users' privacy.

Hello,

In the DevToolbox, the “Copy all as HAR” and “Create file...” functions are not working. It seems that in both cases, only empty space is placed in the clipboard and in the file (this has been happening since the last update).

Thank you in advance.

I am currently getting unwanted popups purporting to be from firefox about virus protection. I know they are fake because they report my McAfee license has expired, and it hasn't. I have McAfee scanning for viruses right now. They are generated over again when I close them; so I can't get rid of them.

Facebook Games - I get this: "Sorry, your browser does not support this feature. Please use a different browser and try again. " What do I do? - 10/20/2025
