Firefox Community Forum

I have an account on a website I visit near-daily. Despite having both cookies for this website persist and the password supposedly saved, the last three times I've visited the website I've been logged out and the password is nowhere to be found. Having to switch between my password manager and browser is annoying beyond description.

(That's actually not true. I have quite a few choice descriptors for this program, but have chosen to omit them)

Hi everyone! Help me to solve the issue to get rid of these two folders in sidebar and drop-down menu. Is there any kind of tweaks css? I use Firefox 130.0 version. Look at the screenshot https://postimg.cc/vx5PCK0q

This link https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1389957 helped me but not for all cases.

With my previous FF installation, it would remember both the width and the last selection in the sidebar after closing and re-opening FF.

I just formatted and reinstalled windows and now FF simply would not remember the last sidebar condition.

I'm using Windows 10 22H2 and FF 130 64-bit.

I recently updated FF to 128.3.0 ESR and have found that FF no longer appends the suffix to the url I tupe in the url bar. For instance, to go to yahoo.com all I had to do was type yahoo in the url bar and hit enter and FF would automatically add the .com and navigate to the site. This function has ceased to work since the latest update. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

When I click a link or open a new Tab Firefox opens a new window. I have Firefox and Thunderbird pinned to the Taskbar and usually switch between them easily. Today when I try to switch to Firefox another FF window opens. Why is this happening and how can I stop it.?

Please explain in simple terms (I am not an IT wizz) how I can stop the continual popups in Firefox 128 and Thunderbird 78 on a Windows 11 OS saying “Update Available” with a Download button very easily activated by mistake.

Each time I click Dismiss, a new popup appears either immediately or very soon. The popup blocks a significant area of the screen and will not move.

I already have Update Settings on “Check for updates but let you choose to install them”. There is no option to “Do not check for updates” on these versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. I already have Windows 11 Notification Settings on “Do not disturb” and all Firefox notifications to Off.

I have found the Mozilla Support article “Customising Firefox using Group Policy” at  https://mzl.la/3bLnw2J but I do not understand it and the device I am using is not part of a group installation setup. 

There is a Step by Step guide “How to stop Firefox update notifications” on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD-oXxrCCRs . This is clear to follow if I pause it frequently to absorb each step carefully. Is this safe for me to try given that I am very inexperienced in using the command line and accessing registry etc?

The Thunderbird popups have only recently started up and I would value advice on how to stop these safely too. I need this version of Thunderbird at present for particular reasons related to gmail so it is important I do not accidentally activate a download on that.

Wireless cursor just gone after this last update. Changed the battery and all the usual tap, blow on it, no luck. Purchased a new mouse from amazon and no improvement. I found an article to fix this but cannot find what they refer to or understand the names used. I am just there saying, the what? go were?

All shortcuts I had for months below the search bar are gone from the home page of ff. Nothing suggested in the past I try ever fixed it. They just showed back up one day long ago. Until today I refreshed FF did not work. When I tried to browse it will not let me access the desktop to attach a photo this is only when using FF.Thankyou

Hi,

I'm trying to enable JavaScript so I can print a document that requires it. But I can't find the the 'Options' and the 'Content' tab under Firefox Menu. Thanks.

HI - Love Firefox - and for many years I had it opening right off with www.flutenet.com --- only now, that website is being/maybe even already - cancelled..... SO .... where do I give my computer system for Firefox with a new website for opening now days??? Am assuming it's somewhere in the "set up" part of this wonderful Firefox programing... but I haven't been able to find that currently.... hoping it really is still possible to do that... Thanks in advance! All best wishes always - more later - Jan (janspritchrd@gmail.com)

Within the past week, when I access my AOL mail inbox, there has been a message asking if I want to make Firefox the default for AOL mail. See attached screen shots. Where did this come from? Is it something that FF did, or AOL mail, or an extension, or W11? FF is my default browser. Can I disable the message or what else should I do? So far the only thing I've done is to "say later" I look forward to anyone's comments. Thanks

Hello,

I use a Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS with Firefox 131.0 64 bit edition. When I start Firefox alt+tab working as designed. But after some time it is not. Firefox always became the first of the list of the running applications and a simple alt+tab do nothing because the second application of the list which is selected by a simple alt+tab became the application I actually used. Ta active application selected again. Do you have any idea why is it happening?

I can't find sometimes very important replies to my emails because they are filed not in the chronological order in which they arrive in my computer but are connected in the group of the original Subject. How can I change that? Thank you. Email removed PS. I use Win11

I'm on Windows 11 and when I type in Discord with Firefox the text suggestions stop working after two words. It works perfectly everywhere else including the Discord app as well as Discord in any other browser.

I have dealt with this tiny font problem before but did not retain the fix because I actually thought I had solved the problem once and for all.

BUT, I wake up this morning, having made no changes to this laptop overnight, only to discover that the fonts on my Firefox browser controls are tiny tiny tiny.

I expect Firefox/Mozilla to resolve this LONG-STANDING problem once and for all. I have made no changes to this browser in the last 24 hours. There were two MS updates that occurred overnight, but I doubt this affected the fonts on the Firefox application.

If there is a straightforward FF/Mozilla doc that addresses this problem (since it is recurring and well documented by others over the years), I would appreciate a link to this document. And if there is a known problem with certain MS updates I would appreciate knowing about this as well.

TIA

I take a lot of screenshots using Firefox's built in screenshot tool to share with my friends. After a while it slows down my Photos folder and I move them elsewhere. However, I cannot move, delete, or even rename any of the 18 photos shown in the photo below. They are all from Twitter/X, but this error does not apply to every screenshot from Twitter - I was able to move or delete most of them. However, it is ONLY happening with photos from Twitter. They are not Read Only so I don't know what the issue is. I'm not having this issue with Windows Snip tool, only Firefox Screenshots.

Ever since the update to version 131 (64-bit), I have found that Firefox's autofill feature is malfunctioning. When I try to autofill credit card details, it displays the details of the one card I have stored, but does not paste them in.

If I start typing them in manually on a web page it shows me that it already knows them, but if I stop typing and click on the displayed autofill it immediately forgets any characters I haven't just typed in.

Suggestions would be much appreciated (I now have 131.0.2 but the problem has not gone away). Many thanks.
