'Linked In' technical support are telling me that I am unable to see certain pages on their system most likely because my Firefox Browser (which is fully up to date) is using DNS. They said to remove DNS. Is this wise advice and if so how do I do that and what difference will it make to my day to day use of firefox?

Been using Firefox since the 90s and been on Mac since 2000s. This problem has been happening for about a year, throughout three macbooks (my old one, a temp one, and my new one) and multiple Firefox updates. I'm always updated and always clear cookies daily.

The failure to move bookmarks I can overcome by rebooting Firefox with a Forced Quit. If I only have to do this every few weeks, then no biggy reinserting all my passwords for all the different sites I use (and no, I don't want to use password managers, I don't trust them)

Today it happened within hours of Force Quitting Firefox, this is too much!!!

The only reason I didn't report this problem earlier is I simply expected an eventual newer version of Firefox to fix this bug.

Firefox 133.0

Normal behaviour: click-drag bookmark within bookmark menu pull-down to position where I want bookmark Failure behaviour: click-drag fails to move bookmark, until I reboot Firefox, then it works again

When is Firefox (across devices) going to bring "Tab Groups" in-built in 2025 as it is difficult to ditch Chrome esp., if it is related to work or research and similar tabs are opened up?

I have to rely on chrome and edge for same and both have not only brought it but improved it considerably. Also, chrome has not brought for mobile devices so grouping of tabs is more easy and simple but when I look at Firefox and Firefox based browsers, I see nothing of that thing present. The addon esp., Simple Tab Groups (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/) is unreliable (see reviews).

If Firefox want us to use their browser and as default, they should see why we are using Chrome and Edge (latter, having vertical tabs in-built, also).

I hope 2025 is a year Firefox learns of how to retain users across devices. Currently Firefox is more from 2005.

Browser Choice Alliance wont be helpful if browsers like Firefox dont see users and their reviews and posts and issues reported. "https://browserchoicealliance.org/"

3 years post and still no work, and Firefox wants us to use their browser over Chrome and Edge. Why? And how?

Been using Firefox since the 90s, on macbookAir since 2010s, Firefox is my only preferred browser.

But this glitch has been happening for many years, and I just don't understand why Firefox don't fix it.

I frequently reboot my Firefox (generally by Force Quit, sometimes by quit/X-ing out.

Inevitably, when I reopen Firefox, the previous tabs don't open... that is, until I hit the "trouble resorting pages" button, followed by full restoration of tabs.

Can we just skip the "didn't work" button, and just get it to work?

Windows 11 24H2

On computer restart or program restart, firefox moves all previous windows from primary monitor to secondary monitor.

Before restart, I usually have 10+ windows open on primary monitor and 1-3 windows open on secondary monitor. After restart, all windows are opened on secondary monitor and I manually move them each to the primary monitor. It seems like they open on primary monitor, but immediately move to the secondary monitor.

If I make each individual window a small window on its corresponding monitor and shut down firefox, the windows will open on the correct monitor on the next restart...but if those windows are minimized, they will open on the wrong monitor on restart.

Is there any way to fix this or automate the window moving process?

Thanks

For around a week, I've had issues with Discord Voice Chat on Firefox that I don't believe I've had before the latest update. Whenever I try to connect to Voice Chat, I can see Discord picking up my audio, but I can't hear anything from other people in voice chat nor can they hear me. I can hear sounds and music from Discord itself outside of voice chat.

I believe this is a Firefox issue since I can still access Discord Voice Chat through other browsers like Opera.

I've tried downgrading and it still has the same issue, and also going into troubleshooting mode. Nothing has worked, except for deleting Discord's cache, but that stopped working too.

If anyone needs other details let me know and I can provide it to the best of my abilities, thank you

For about 2 weeks now, the audio volume on youtube videos fluctuates up and down. The volume starts off low when a person starts to talk. For example, when the person in the video starts to talk, their voice volume is very low then within a second or two, the volume rises to normal as they talk. When they finish a sentence and start a new one (when there is a short pause in the audio) their voice is again at a very low volume, rising to normal in a second or two. This repeats as they speak throughout the entire video. This is not specific to any youtube video or youtube channel, it happens on all youtube videos. I have tried updating all audio drivers in Windows 11 - no improvement. I have tried rebooting the computer - no improvement Firefox is up to date, version 133.0 I have tried watching the same videos using Chrome and I do not have this problem. Any help correcting this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

Switching between tabs used to be instant. Ever since updating to v133, it takes over a second (both through the Ctrl-Tab shortcut and through clicking on another tab in the tab bar), which is really really bothering me.

The tab bar has also started taking over a second to react visually when I hover over it with the mouse, even with thumbnail previews disabled. I have no idea what's causing this. Please help.

I've been on the phone to Apple support and just returned from the local Apple store and genius bar. My Mac Pro laptop was too old and would not support the newer OS. In installing a OS, I lost my bookmarks and the menu bar that gave easy access. I've since purchased a new Apple Air laptop and everything from the old laptop has been migrated over.

However, working with Apple support and the local genius bar Apple store rep., nobody has been able to help me rebuild the links to a menu bar for quick access. Presently I have some bookmarked. I have to go to the book marks to access any particular URL. All the directions on the web have not provided way to do this!
