After the last Firefox update, every time I touch my tablet screen the onscreen keyboard pops up. I figured out how to turn the onscreen keyboard off completely, but I don't want that. I want the onscreen keyboard to still pop up when I put the cursor in a search box.

middle mouse button isnt working since update.

i had it so that a middle click on it would open a new tab to the right of the other tabs.

i have looked and checked browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick and its TRUE.

any suggestions. it is just since update i'm sure of that.

I've been using Firefox on my Windows tablet (Win10) for years. After I installed version 138.0, my On Screen Keyboard (OSK) keeps popping up. Very Annoying! The OSK pops up every time I change tabs, or click a control like a drop down menu or check box on a web page or in the Firefox UI. Seems like the Firefox developers may be working on this problem because in version 138.0 clicking on a text input box did NOT bring up the OSK, but in version 138.0.1 clicking on a text input box does bring up a the OSK, but clicking other controls and switching tabs still brings up the OSK. Other applications on my tablet only bring up the OSK when I click a text input field.

Under about:config I tried setting ui.osk.enabled = false. That does not help. Seems that another OSK preference was non-default, but I changed it back to default, not sure which one.

Help would be much appreciated.

I think the home page changed with the recent Firefox 137.0 update on my Android phone. It feels like something that may have changed intentionally, but it disrupts my existing usage. I would hope there is at least a configuration option to revert it, but I cannot find one.

I used to be able to gesture "back" out of a tab into my home page where I would see the search/location bar, tab controls, and hamburger menu at the bottom of the screen. (See second attached screenshot for this normal screen I'm talking about.) I would very often either use the tabs button to choose a different existing tab or the hamburger menu to get into the full Bookmarks list.

Lately, the back gesture drops me into a screen where input to the search/location bar is already activated, so the keyboard is open and the tabs + menu controls are replaced with the QR code button. (See first attached screenshot.) My usage of Firefox on a phone is very different than on a laptop with a keyboard. On a phone, I rarely want to write search terms, so this automatic input mode is a frustrating trap.

I have to gesture "back" again to get from this screen to the original screen, but with the keyboard open, I have to do the gesture in the upper half of of the screen, which is awkward with one-handed operation. Otherwise, the gesture is likely to trigger keyboard input instead.

Ideally, I'd like to skip this activated search screen and have the tabs + menu remain the bottom of the screen with the keyboard closed. (As in second attached screenshot.)

But, I never use that QR code button either. I also see it as a misfeature to have it replace the tabs and menu buttons when input is activated. I feel like the QR scanner should be hidden under the menu or show up as a third button, making the location bar a little narrower without moving the existing buttons.

If the tabs and menu buttons remained, at least I could try to use them directly without having to do the extra back gesture. But, the open keyboard input is still awkward, since it shoves the buttons halfway up the screen and muscle memory doesn't work for the target.

Every time I open Firefox, since recent update, the keyboard opens on the lower portion of the screen, below my Shortcuts. Additionally, it places a camera icon over the 3 dots (...) so that I can't access my Bookmarks. This is very annoying, because I have to remove the keyboard before I can proceed. How can I permanently prevent the keyboard from intruding on my Home Screen on Android.

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

Hello!

I've been facing a problem in Firefox that has been going on for about 5 years: the multimedia keys on my HyperX alloy Core (membrane) keyboard only work ~33% of the time.

Problem details: - In other browsers (Chrome, Edge) and programs (VLC, Spotify) the keys work perfectly. - The problem occurs specifically in Firefox, regardless of the OS or driver version (I reinstalled Windows, browser, updated drivers). - I've tried the following solutions (without results): - Updating Firefox to the latest version. - Disabling all extensions. - Resetting the browser settings. - Updating HyperX software/drivers.

Additional information: - OS: Windows 11 latest update

- Firefox: Latest version instaled

I'm experiencing an issue with the drag and drop functionality in my browser that's significantly affecting my workflow. Previous behavior:

I could drag any selected text to any area of the browser window to open a new search tab I could lightly drag links anywhere to open them in new tabs

Current behavior:

Now I must drag content specifically to the tab bar at the top to open new tabs This extra precision required is frustrating and slowing down my browsing

I haven't intentionally changed any settings, and this change happened suddenly. This functionality was extremely useful for me as I frequently need to open multiple tabs while researching. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Most importantly, does anyone know how to restore the previous drag and drop behavior? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

This is a problem I only started experiencing yesterday, but if I try to upload an image to a website (such as social media), and I double-click a shortcut for a folder, it attempts to upload the shortcut as the selected file, instead of opening the folder.

This is only a problem with firefox, as I tried doing this in another browser and I was able to open it as a folder normally. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix this?

I don’t know if this is only a bug for me, but for months I have been having this issue with Find in Page not showing correctly when having the Toolbar set to Bottom.

The issue is when the Toolbar is set to top of screen, the search box for Find in Page is above the keyboard as intended. When set to Bottom, the search box falls below and behind the keyboard, out of sight. When this happens, if I close the search box then scroll up, where the keyboard was is now a giant blank space. The empty keyboard returns to normal once I enter a search field.

This may only be an issue for me as I am on older hardware, iPhone 6s+ iOS 15.8.3.

Each photos description: 1st: Search box is behind the keyboard 2nd: After closing the search box and scrolling up 3rd: Toolbar on top, search box working as intended

Back button jumps back two pages. Happened on Google search. Cannot recreate on demand.

Also goes back to previous search if select a new search from the autofill drop down(recommended searches?) twice.

Ex. "I searched Scotiabank, then select Scotiabank phone number from suggested searches. Once there, I select Scotiabank customer service chat but instead of getting those results it sends me back to the original Scotiabank search results."

It doesn't always happen with here but can always seem to recreate by using the back button.

since i downloaded Firefox 135, my mouse wheel defaults to one line at a time and no matter how many times i change it defaults to one line at a time at the next startup.

There's pics included that hopefully explains it, but essentially whenever i try to highlight a text and afterwards scroll down, the highlight bugs out. It seems to be happening only on powerpoint slides that have been converted to pdf. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration on firefox, but it didnt help.

I was browsing normally when suddenly the right click menu stoped doing anything. If I right click it still opens but nothing I click on does anything. I can't copy, paste, open a link in a new tab etc. It also appears to have new options on the menu that I don't recognise. I have no extentions or pluggins exept what comes default so I doubt it's that.

I tried in another browser and it worked fine so it's just firefox.

Recently, whenever I go to a website that has some info/links/UI that should be locked to the bottom of the screen, it instead shows up and inch or so above the bottom. So I was part of the website on top, the a floating info bar, then a tiny amount of website at the bottom. I have included an image to show what I mean, but some websites have even bigger bars that cover more of the screen. When I scroll up and down the website this floating bar remains at the same location on the screen, just about an inch up from the bottom.

Is there a way to fix this?

Bonjour, Depuis quelques jours lorsque j'accède à ma messagerie Orange, Firefox modifie systématiquement les @ en . ce qui ne me permet pas de réponde aux messages, de les transférer ou autre opération. Merci de bien vouloir examiner quelles sont les raisons de ces problèmes. Bien cordialement. Claude JAMONAC Mobile : [removed phone# from public]
