Firefox Community Forum

Firefox is updating 2-4 x/month while in use and has to be restarted. But my setting is on "Check for updates, but choose when to install". The last update recorded is listed as February 2026. So what gives? Thanks

My Home page is a local HTML file featuring a CSS-based tabbed notebook holding links organized into various categories. When exiting FF, I always have this page as the active browser tab, so that on start-up it's still the active one in the event of multiple open browser tabs.

Until v151.0.4 (and still now with v152.0), if I exited FF with the active notebook tab (actually a styled radio button under the hood) in my CSS tabbed notebook something other than the first/leftmost tab, FF would restart with that being the active tab, but after a few seconds of CPU activity as the browser initialized the active notebook tab would switch to the first/leftmost one. (In my HTML I also have <input type="radio" name="tabs" checked> specified for this first/leftmost instance.)

Since the update, however, it remains stuck on the one from the last browser session as first displayed. I suppose I can live with this, but I do wonder what accounts for the change in behavior. If it's by design, where is it documented? If not ... maybe it calls for a bug report.

I just updated Firefox to version 152. Now my bookmarks toolbar is broken. Can't open any site from that toolbar. Also,, the pinned sites and folders are scrambled one over the other on the left (see picture).

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek guidance on how to disable settings pop-ups in Firefox, as I find them to be somewhat intrusive to my browsing experience.

While I appreciate the various features and options Firefox provides, I prefer to have a more streamlined experience without the frequent interruptions caused by these pop-ups. They can be distracting and make it difficult for me to focus on the content I am viewing.

Could you please provide me with detailed instructions on how to manage or disable these specific pop-ups? If there are any settings or configuration changes I should be aware of, I would be grateful for your assistance in helping me achieve a more unobtrusive browsing environment.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Dear Mozilla Firefox Support Team,

I have an external camera (Four miles away from home) can access live cam & recordings via mobile phone. Want to be able to view this cam on my Windows 11 laptop, directly without using Netsee app or an emulator. I understand (*Usually very little - tech!) that this is quite possible to link this camera via my Firefox browser, to my laptop. I have the IP address, is there any kind sole out there that could help me achieve this?

Fingers crossed. Barrie

Since the last update on both my desktop and laptop web performance has slowed considerably. Some sites time out, some just don't connect. I've tried VPN on and off, changed security levels, deleted extensions to no avail. I use Windows 10. Is this the future with FF? Time, after many years using FF synced across all my devices, to bail?

Please advise soonest as this is more than frustrating and unproductive. Thanks Stephen

Everytime I open firefox, a small window opens that tells me "Update available Download the latest version of firefox, Download or Dismiss". Hitting download saves the update for ver 151.0.4 to my harddrive. I have several of these files because of all the times I've updated forgetting that its already been updated to 151.0.4!

Why do you keep asking me to upgrade when I already did?

To get here I went to "mozilla support" and I clicked the box requesting you send me an email when someone replies to this. This "someone" implies that this person is part of your "community" not a mozilla employee, which is what "mozilla support" implies. After taking my time to follow your vague directives, I dont expect to get any help from you but I am hopeful.

I tried adding images which took me away from this page and when I tried coming back to this page, everything I typed was gone so I had to start over. So I'm not going to click on "share data" for the fear the same thing will happen. Thanks for that

I cannot see the Fifa 2026 at this : https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/watch/2498306627540

i want to try the new vpn option, but i cant see the vpn option in the costumize toolbar options. the help page directing there, but the option itself is not there.

i have changed windows and i put the same old account on firefox but still not recover my old browser data or passwords , etc i loss everything , please help to recover all my data

I tend to have a lot of tabs open at a time and even with the Customize Sidebar > Hide tabs and sidebar checkbox ticked, it is still distracting at times. Could you please help me find a setting/way so that I can hide it and make it re-appear when I hover on it only. Kinda like how we have on windows taskbar? Much appreciated.

I am on a trusted webpage - click for further info - cloudfare security pops up but does not work so cannot pass to a trusted website or article etc

Also, whenever one of my emails provides a link to a trusted secure source it now takes ages to download and I do not know why.

These two problems never ever existed before so why now?

When the VPN is turned On it acts like a dead switch and locks All bookmark toolbar links as well as Search entries stays locked and will not activate? makes FIREFOX dead in the water. (using Brave Search engine) Any advice?
