Firefox Community Forum

I've noticed that after a few months Firefox ESR will go from being one specific version to two different version tracks. Eventually the older track is removed and the newer one is continued until it then splits. Can someone tell me why this happens and is there an easy way to swap over to the current track? I've included an attachment of what i'm talking about.

i am not a computer knowledgeable person, as I am 84 years old, and do not understand or know how to make the changes that are constantly being made. Please help me make sure everything is set up correctly for the current rules and that the computer is secure, as I discuss monetary issues with many of my clients. When directions are offered, I often find it impossible to follow them, as whatever they tell me does not show up, or is not found on my screen. I have a relatively new computer, maybe a year old, so i am sure the problem is with me, and not the computer.

Thanks for any help you can offer. From past experience, please have someone with lots of patience, or some one that can just et it set up right. Thanks, Bette :>)

When I scroll down the page on MSN and try to open a link in a new tab the page jumps back to the top. It then opens a link of another article that I never right/left click on. I have my mouse set up to left click to open a new tab. Does not occur on any other sites.

It has been doing this for months now.

For a few days now whenever a new tab opens, either by clicking a link in search results or by clicking a link in an email, the cursor jumps to the bottom of the page and I have to scroll to the top of the page. I'm just getting started with Windows 11 on a new computer. What happened to cause this?

When I click on the "Search" bar, my designated search engines (including Google)show on a drop-down list.

No matter which engine I select, it doesn't open. None of the search engines will open. How do I get them online again? It seems to have happened after the last Mozilla update. Thank you.

I am having trouble pinning any Extensions to my toolbar. When i click on the Extensions icon (puzzle piece), the Extensions menu immediately pops up. My extension (Bitwarden) is set to "Enabled". When I click on the three horizontal dots, however, the only options are 1) Remove, 2) Report, or 3) Manage. There's no option given to pin the extension.

Because of that, the extension basically never opens, and I am unable to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

I am running Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) in Windows 11 on a Surface tablet. FWIW, the extension is running fine in Chrome.

How do I have more bookmarks than the 9 that are listed. I used to have a list of 20 or 25 bookmarks. Now if I add a new bookmark, one of the old ones is deleted.

I am debugging a Web page that performs several AJAX requests.

To this effect I sometimes find it convenient to reissue an AJAX request (from the Network pane of Development Tools, right click + "Resend") and would find it even more convenient to open the request in a separated tab, as was possible until, if I recall correctly, four or five months ago.

Now the latter option does not work, likely because of some security tightening - the "new request" might be seen as a different context, I don't know. The AJAX endpoint receives no cookies, so it can't load the appropriate state, and restarts as a blank slate with a new cookie, which makes the reply useless to me. Even worse, at this point the new cookie value is propagated to the originating window, effectively crashing the entire debugging session.

Is there some way of disabling this option and reverting it to the older, less secure behaviour, on my own development Firefox only?

whenever I use a fire fox browser my game (specifically minecraft doesnt happen on any other game) my mouse goes completely invisible whenever my browser is open, and ive tried closing it and trying a different browser like waterfox which also gets the issue and ive tried chrome that DOESNT get the issue. I havent had this problem before since recently and I dont believe I have done any changes to my game or my firefox so i'd like to get help on why this happens specifically on firefox/waterfox, and why its only minecraft and no other games

I have tried repeatedly and failed. At the point where I select the backup file as per the instructions, I dont get a confimation of success or failure, which leaves me in doubt if I have done the recovery correctly. When I come to look at the bookmarks, nothing happens. The bookmarks and the software to open them are not connecting. Can you help?

Firefox has quite recently started showing a new and very annoying behaviour.

When I have multiple tabs open with image files, Firefox will randomly unload the images when I switch between tabs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when and why. In one instance I may be able to go through 10 tabs without an issue, and in other instances it will unload and have to reload images multiple times, even if I am only switching between two tabs.

Sometimes the images will reload automatically a couple of seconds after switching to a new tab, and other times the image will not reload unless I navigate away to a different website and then hit the back button to return to the image. In either case, it's extremely aggravating when looking back and forth between two images in different tabs to compare differences when they reload every single time I switch between them.

This only seems to happen with image files. I can have any number of web pages open in different tabs and they will not unload, but if the address points directly to an image it exhibits this behaviour.

I have already looked for solutions and tried disabling the 'browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory' option through the 'about:config' menu, but this has no effect on the behaviour at all. It continues to unload images when this option is set to 'false'.

This behaviour is a very recent change from how Firefox usually works, so I'm assuming that it's something to do with the latest update(s). I've only noticed it happening in the past couple of weeks, though I don't remember exactly when in that timeframe the problem first appeared.

Looking for any possible solutions or options that I might try to correct this.

everything was fine, when i went to log in at school today, using the same password i always have, it kept coming up as incorrect password, send verification code retry etc, so i decided ok fine let me change password. that worked but my stuff wasnt loading in, ok weird. i get home and theres a little notification by the sync profile area, yeah expected that i changed password. i read up on it and apparently it RESETS MY ENTIRE SYNC. AND NOW NEITHER PASSWORD IS LETTING ME LOG IN. i am not going to risk resetting my password AGAIN on this device as it still has all my saved data. this shouldnt be an issue, i dont know why it said wrong password and made me verify multiple times. please help. i was able to log in perfectly fine to my mozilla account for this very report, but not to sync my data?

I use Lastpass to manage my passwords. I have always accessed the Lastpass facility via the Lastpass Extension. However it's just stopped functioning (in the last week). I click on the extension (top right of my browser screen). It invites me to click on 'Vault'. But when I do, It takes me to an empty Lastpass page. (See screenshot, attached.) When I use this same approach using Google Chrome - no problem. So the problem seems to be with the Firefox platform.
