Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I’m using Firefox together with the "Simple Tab Groups" extension. When I remove the "List All Tabs" button from the toolbar (right-click → “Remove from Toolbar”), it disappears as expected. However, after switching between tab groups in Simple Tab Groups, the button automatically reappears on the toolbar.

Is there a way to completely prevent this button from returning, even in such cases? I would like it to remain removed permanently until I manually restore it.

If there is currently no way to achieve this, is it something that could be expected in future browser updates?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards, Dmitrii

There are many websites (I noticed with Google, Instagram) that seem to remove the list of previous pages. They obviously want to prevent that visitors go back (for example to the search results) and proceed somewhere else. The result is that I click on a link, the linked page loads and then clicking on the back button does nothing, as if I entered the URL directly into the address bar. I consider that a terrible user experience because websites are trying to control my options, even on domains before I reached their sites. Since one of the huge advantages of Firefox is the claim that that it helps users take back control, I hope that there is a way how to prevent visited websites from manipulating the history, which is outside their own domains. I am aware that I could open the history or type in the address of the previous page again, but it is just not the same as pressing the back button. Is there any configuration (or add-on) that could help? Thanks!

With the password settings for my domain, it seems to count the saved passwords as if they are for the same account, even though they are different. It also doesn’t show an image or label to indicate which account each password belongs to.

Twitterで使用されている「t.co」等の短縮URLにアクセス出来ず、「アクセスしようとしているサイトを見つけられません」とエラーが表示されます。 他のブラウザだとアクセス出来る為、Firefoxの設定の問題だと思うのですが、解消方法が分かりません。 解消方法をご存知な方はいらっしゃいますでしょうか。

I am a user over at the Arcamax website I use it nightly to read the comics section for the last two days i keep getting an error message .

Greetings! My Thunderbird email client recently mysteriously glitched requiring me to affect a repair to the profile. I can now access my email fine, but when I try to email a webpage from inside Firefox, I get and error stating in part: Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded, etc. I have tried what I could find via Google, but some is beyond my technical experience. Short of deleting Firefox entirely, and reinstalling, is there a simple fix that someone can suggest? I have backed up my bookmarks and passwords, along with the current Firefox profile folder, so perhaps uninstalling the program and reinstalling may be the best route to take? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Firefox is only connecting to some internets. Other seem to make a connection but then show a blank screen. e,g Cooperative Bank, Octopus, Talk Talk. Santander and Amazon work normally

When I open Firefox for the first time or on a new window the cursor automatically is in the address bar. I prefer to have the cursor to default into the search box. I don't want to search with the address bar. It did not used to be this way on my old laptop.

What the hell do you guys do with the latest update?? My home page is all screwed up and does not look or act at all as my old home page. Apparently there is no way to go back to the "old" look and feel. Not a good decision. Seriously thinking of abandoning Firefox (since I used it in WIndows-7) for a browser that will make my life easier, not harder. At 81 years old I don't time to waste futzing around trying to get my home page to work. "Technology getting in the way of Life." If someone want to guide me to getting my old Firefox home page back, email me. Bob

This concerns both Privacy/Sec. as well Performance/Connect. : Problem #1: I CANNOT Stay connected to Firefox!! I am running an (refurbished) Older laptop (Win11home). I have ended up having to reset my "Default Browser" each time I change a site?? No matter what I have tried (un- and re-install the software, etc.) I set as default - which currently performs for exactly one click.

Firefox/Mozilla/TB do not even SHOW on the list when trying to set as Default.

The ONLY non-MS product that IS listed is "DuckDuckGo for Firefox". I used to feel comfortable with them, but no longer feel "safe" using them as a relay to you. This is because seemingly no matter what I do, I am still getting 100's of un-asked for emails AND 100's more of phone calls/texts EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yikes!

I take great efforts to fill out every site to exercise my California rights on every site I click on... "no soap". Even that process has become so complicated, that if a "one click" opt-out isn't available - sending emails, etc. that if there isn't a preference option I don't use that site ever again for any reason.

Related Problem #2: I love LOVE your relay for emails/and phone calls... That's NO LONGER available either - WHAT???!!! Worse still, when I follow instructions HERE... go to Settings/Privacy - there isn't even a "Passwords" setting option. The whole catagory is just Gone.

I admit, I am a Senior and not that skilled at computers... but I spend HOURS researching and trying to learn. Since AI was Officially activated... these problems didn't exist.

I am SOoooo tempted to throw the darn thing in the trash... however the State of CA says I MUST have an email to even get a REAL ID. As I interpret the Law... I MUST maintain an email/phone. I live Very Rural can't even get a landline. I don't have a passport and now cannot Fly in my own Country (never intending to even leave the US until I was much more "retired" than I am now, lol) but now I can't even "opt-out" on my birth-state's website either.

Problem #3: Not as severe... but similar problems also exist on my two iOs platforms as well (iPhone/iPad)

I searched this site pretty thoroughly... only ONE person reported a similar problem (Problem #1) and so far there wasn't response after 5 days. Hopefully this post draws the attention of Admin, as I have spoken to other Seniors near me who are experiencing the same types of issues... but appear far more reticent to report.

HELP??!!!

I've recently decided to return to FF. On the whole everything is going fine, except for streaming. I often use my provider's site (nostv.pt) to watch some games, races or shows. However, every time I do, I'll get backwards skips every now and then where the stream goes back 1-2s. Usually the second time this happens the stream detects I'm no longer live and I can skip ahead to real time, but this is annoying, especially when watching games. During a 2h stream session this will happen around a dozen times.

So I would like to know if there are other people with the same issue or what I can do to prevent this from happening.
