Firefox should open a New Tab using the last used container. It's intuitive and also useful for other reasons: When I click on a link in another app, it opens Firefox in the default container. Otherwise it's hard to "login with another container other than the default"

Hello sir,

               I regularly use the full-screen mode in your browser. However, I have noticed that full-screen mode gets automatically disabled every time I restart the browser.

This is becoming extremely inconvenient and frustrating because I have to manually enable full-screen mode every single time I open the browser. Repeating this process again and again is a real hassle.

I would like to request that you either fix this issue or introduce a new setting that allows users to keep full-screen mode permanently enabled, even after restarting the browser. Please consider adding an "Always Keep Full-Screen Mode Enabled" option so that users do not have to activate it manually every time they launch the browser.

I hope you will consider this feedback and provide a permanent solution to this issue.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have been receiving crash report for several days in a row, finally received Old Firefox Data folder and tried to re-install the app on my Mac. How do I get my tabs back please?

Kindly, Kristina Grigorian, M.A.

There have been some strange problems since I totally uninstalled a Firefox ESR version, and went back to the normal versions. That ESR version is still showing up in the registry in odd places as if it has not been uninstalled: Firefox-308045B0AF4A39CB

I'm wondering if it is causing problems, because when I made it the default browser, it seemed microsoft started using it in some of the ways it ordinarily uses Edge, which is why I do not use Edge.

I do NOT want a browser to access or control my desktop or anything else on my computer. I simply want to use it as a browser.

At least there is no longer "your browser is being managed by your organization" showing up (because I designated no update. I prefer to choose to update manually. Because I do not always have time to reconfigure the screwups updates cause because of changes made. Firefox is not as bad as microsoft . . . yet, but unsuspecting updates always create time some type of configuration issues that require time.

Recently, I fully uninstalled the ESR version, and returned to a fully installed regular version. It was 155, but suddenly with a few days it was 158, then an auto update to 159. I made sure to download the Firefox full version, NOT the microsoft store version. However there was already one automatic update without notification, and I had selected no update without my confirmation. So I am wondering if the update/download was the microsoft store version that screwed up my compute configuration, again, because microsoft settings is no longer working. And even though everything was uninstalled from the ESR version, including in the registry (I did a search and removed what was left) and after a day or two there were no more of the ESR version entries. So it seems to have been fully uninstalled.

Since then there was an auto update to 159 which I did not know until the configuration changed, so I checked the version. Since that time I see that entries for Firefox- (the ESR version are back in my registry) even though I was able to fully uninstall everything. But it only lasted until the update.

Is it no longer possible to be informed there is an update, and choose whether or not to update at the time. I do not trust the update will not be the microsoft version, so that means I must do an update via a full install that I download myself and know it is not the Microsoft version.

I am not exactly sure what microsoft does differently with it's update. But it seems to connect the browser to a desktop shell. I am wondering if the problems from microsoft start when I select Firefox as the default browsers - which cause the microsoft update version to make Firefox a startup shell, the way it uses Edge to be a startup shell

So basically, I'm wondering if a microsoft update of Firefox has screwed up my microsoft settings again, because Microsoft Settings is no longer working. And two days ago I got this error message when trying to access Microsoft Settings: all ms-settings are showing up class no registered ms-settings:defaultapps?registeredAppMachine=Firefox-308045B0AF4A39CB class not registered

I asked in the past how to prevent getting the microsoft version of the Firefox update and there was no response. So I changed to ESR. (Then the bank need an updated version of the browser to connect properly without problems, so I changed back to the regular version.) Surely other folks have had a similar problems and want the Microsoft interferring with Firefox updates..

I cant log into f1.com. tried using Chrome and got in. This is getting tiresome.-

There is also a few other things not working, but lets start with this.

Windows 10 desktop, version 159.0, Right clicking on an image used to open the context menu. This suddenly changed. Now, when right clicking on an image, the image itself simply opens in the same tab. Anyone have any idea what happened or how to get the context menu to start opening as normal again?

(Shift + right click opens context menu as normal but never required a shift key hold before.)

I have downloaded multiple versions of firefox, and when I browse to a site, the response is: MUST ENABLE JAVASCRIPT. I am 81 yo and get confused as to how accomplish this. Please advise!

QuickTabs is acting differently and totally messed up my home page. why can't i move an icon the way i used to? what is meant by the phrase "pinned area" that shows up in the upper left corner when i try to move an icon? are there some new settings that i don't know about yet?

it is not acting the way the attached picture shows. i've also attached a gif that better shows what i mean.

if you can point me to some documentation, i would be grateful.

I've been trying to get the browser toolbox window to work correctly for a couple of days now and I can't figure out what's going on. When I invoke the toolbox window with the shortcut key or through the menu entry the window pops up and asks for permission to connect (I click 'ok' in this box) but the window gets stuck before loading the toolbox ui, screenshot of what I'm seeing is attached.

I'm on windows 11 pro 25h2 and firefox 159.0.

I should note that this is the same behavior in a clean temp profile in firefox, as well as the same behavior in other firefox based browser, such as librewolf.

Does anyone here know what I can do to get this working?

Thanks for any help and let me know if you need any other info.

These new "news" pop ups appear on certain websites and clicking on them opens a Google Gemini summary, i have disabled all of my plug-ins and this is still occurring. they also hyperlink words when they shouldn't be, and it quite frankly is very annoying. this is WITH all of Firefox’s AI features disabled while using the DuckDuckGo NoAI search engine. when i emailed the FlowerGame owners about it they had no idea that it was there, so this seems to be a local issue i just don't know how to fix it.
