Firefox Community Forum

Hi! So I just installed firefox and I got onto annoying issue. I like using shortcuts on my homepage, but I started to get some shortcuts added automatically and they bother me a lot. I tried removing them or deleting from history, but as soon as I click the button, one shortcuts gets removed and immediately gets swityched with another one automatically. So I'm stuck in the infinite loop of removing shortcuts and my manually added ones just get lost in all this mess.

Hi. Both my wife and I are experiencing page load problems on Firefox in the last 24 hours or so.

Many pages, but not all, are loading very slowly, and sometimes taking minutes. The spot in the tab keeps moving (left, right, etc), and when it stops, the page is loaded or in some cases just totally blank. On one occasion the was a message about, i think, a protocol error.

We are both on separate Windows 11 machines, rinning Firefoz browsers v145.0, and it seems that the problem is since the upgrade. We use different Anti-virus software. I have cleared all cached data and disabled the only extension added, namely Lastpass.

Attempting to load the problem pages in Chrome works normally. (e.g. https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/)

Is there a problem with this version, or is there another explanation?

Hello Since last update (145), I'm experiencing an issue where Firefox becomes unable to access the internet following a temporary loss of connection during the normal use, until I completely quit and reopen the browser.

I'd appreciate any advice on how to resolve this.

Thanks

I am subscribint to TheHybridLayer.com and the video requires access to player.vimeo.com. Unfortunately, the pop up message is saying that "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue." Please help me address the issue since I overwhelmed with this.

Current situation : I am using Macbook Air 11" 2015, MacOS Catalina, Firefox 145

I have my desktop extended across two displays. If I disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox, entering fullscreen causes the window to be slightly offset down and right, leaving a thin band on the top and left sides of the screen where the desktop background and taskbar are visible behind the Firefox window.

From testing I have determined that this issue does not occur if I only have one monitor enabled or the monitors are mirroring the same display. I have also determined that the issue only occurs when Hardware Acceleration is disabled.

How do I get rid of new, but stupid vertical sidebar? I do NOT NEED OR WANT even MORE junk taking up the screen space. Is Mozilla part of Microsoft now? How do I get rid of that junk?

Heya,

I am the maintainer of the British Dictionary.

For one year that I have been working in the "shadows" on my version of US+Canada+Australian, to be released on 1-JAN-2026.

Can I add your list of proper names (~5000 words) to my dictionaries and release the dictionaries as LGPL?

Thank you!

As of Nov. 12th, 2025 (Firefox Version 145.0 (64-bit)) entering full screen for a video reveals desktop/other program windows.

Tested with different websites, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu. Issue is consistent across.

In the images provided there are two sets, one full screen the other not. Set desktop background to bright green to highlight issue.

If it matters, using dual monitor setup (BenQ Mobiuz EX2510) both are 1080p 144hz side and issue occurs on both monitors.

Have already tested basic troubleshooting issues such as restarting Firefox and computer.

Thank you.

I restarted my computer, but my tabs did not reappear. I restarted, but I have lost all my bookmarks, and I cannot add bookmarks. All Mozilla recommendations have failed.

Hello. The last few days iv noticed that if i have firefox on my second monitor maximized, i have a thick white line at the top now, yet iv never had this before in all the years iv used firefox

Is anyone else getting this?

I came from IBM Mainframes to PC's in the dawn of time. My obsessive-compulsive computer hygiene can't tolerate seeing anything blemish my clearly arranged desktop, nevermind an executable file and unsightly shortcut-icons, I know how to use existing commands, menus and taskbars, thanks. How do I move the firefox.exe from my desktop back into the C: root program files folder? I have tried all the usual old-tricks but she won't launch after modifying paths etc. Please help.

I use a portal for work and am required to download a variety of documents for specific tasks. When I download certain documents, predominantly Word documents, they are saved with a file name that ends with the word attachment, e.g. 'abcd.docx,attachment'

This does not happen with any other browsers that I use and I know the obvious answer is to use those but I'm interested as to whether anybody else has had this problem and whether they have found a solution?

When i right click on something in my browser the menu shows up but none of the options have text. For example i can still open a link in a new tab but there's no text for the option i just have to know witch is witch. This is exclusively an issue with the browser, right clicking on my desktop or on another application produces all the expected menu option with no error.

On many of the sites that require hardware key for 2FA, what I should get is a prompt to press the Yubikey button, but instead I get a technical error. This has happened with logging into Google and Vanguard. Both use Yubikey as a 2FA.

I did not encountered this issue on Micrsoft Edge. I am running this on Windows 11 24H2. I believe it used to work.
