On new tab, all my added short cuts are gone and it doesn't let me add any. For example I want to have a shortcut to say... Amazon, but when I type or paste in the url, it still doesn't add it and the add button goes blue, not white. I have the shortcut feature turned on

1. There used to be a choice in settings for Firefix mouse control to be optional. It is no longer available and apparently FF has created default mouse behavior.

The mouse behavior has become errant in a variety of ways. It interferes with everything online and started doing the same on the desktop.

The wheel is configured for three lines at a time on desktop. I do not want the mouse wheel to be doing anything else. I want either or both mouse buttons to open menus and function normally with links, copy and paste.

When looking in about:config the extensive number of configured mouse defaults is shocking. it is impossible to determine how to disable or delete any of them.

It has become impossible to scroll with the wheel and the scrollbar because the mouse jumps all over the page as if possessed.

It is impossible to scroll 3 lines at a time with the wheel, instead the mouse goes up and down and jumps to the top. Changing the number of scrolling lines on Desktop and in about: config so they are both 3 did not solve the problem. Tried changing both to 5 . . . no joy.

Expandable menus no longer open on some websites.

It has also become impossible to us the scrollbar effectively, instead the same behavior manifests as it does with the wheel - the mouse is jerky, going up and down and jumping to the top of the page, unpredictably.

Either way the mouse gets stuck moving up and down. After having successfully scrolled past where it was previously it returns, repeatedly, to the same previous lines each time I try to scroll further - in an endless loop.

If the mouse does functional, briefly, then half way down the page it starts misbehaving again. I already replaced the mouse several months back when the problem started, however, it was not constant. Then it started again with the new (usb) mouse. (Yes, I've cleaned it. No it is not worn out yet.)

2. Via a search I did find a list of adjustments to make in about:config while learning unexpected mouse behavior had become a common problem. I made at least 20 adjustments, and amazingly, there was no longer a problem! Smooth scrolling, no problems. However, after using the browser, closing and opening it numerous times, the errant behavior returned.

3. If there is no way to completely turn off FF mouse control, or use about:config to disable it entirely, then what is the last FF version that allowed saying "no" to what used to be optional mouse control, so it is possible to change back to it? If there is no other way to solve the problem, that should do it.

Any suggestions or solutions appreciated.

16 GB memory, 500 GB SSD. (chose to not install Windows 11 version 23 onward - so in the 22 gray zone that is both a windows 10 install and a windows 11 install - this is the windows 11 install).

I am use a Phomemo Thermal Label Printer for labels and packing slips. The print preview shows the whole page, but prints only a partial page and small print. Tried all setting but no difference.. See photos

Starting at 148 if a user is using Firefox and attempts to log into our MS RDP Application server using HTML, they can log in, but when they select an application, they get stuck at the loading screen with no progression. If they download the RDP file direct it works fine. It's only when using the HTML RDP website with Firefox.

Things we've tried

• We verified it began with 148.0.
• We've tested on multiple devices across multiple networks with multiple users.
• We've tried fresh installs and we've tried without any add-ons.
• We do have Duo securing that server, but I tested a user under bypass and it went right through.
• All other browsers work fine.

After creating yesterday a new Folder, today is not in the Bookmarks under the Star. Under three bars, Bookmarks, Manage bookmarks it shows there the web pages I put there yesterday. What is going on?

I lost my bookmarks and toolbar and cannot save any new bookmarks. I found the backup for the bookmarks but I am unable to restore. I also cannot find my profile file either. What can I do?

The latest Firefox update installed itself upon opening Firefox. It did not include my personalization. Specifically: - The color scheme was changed to from white to purple making the screens hard to read. - The right side window that had my bookmarks sorted into folders has disappeared. So, how do I get my color scheme and book marks menu back?

Firefox fait ses recherches en allemand sur mon ordinateur, alors que j'ai déjà plusieurs fois indiqué dans les paramètres que je voulais des recherches en français. Et rien ne change. Comment dois-je procéder pour changer ça?

When trying to set Firefox to open a file on Windows 11, it is overwritten by Firefox Nightly. I have both branches installed.

This is how it goes when attempting to set Firefox as a default application in my machine:

1. "Apps > Default Apps"
2. .mp4 (for example)
3. click the button below that displays the current default application
4. Firefox Nightly appears in this menu
5. "Choose an app on your PC"
6. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" ... "firefox.exe" ... "Open"
7. Firefox Nightly remains in this menu

I cannot get Firefox to appear as an available app in this menu. The only workaround, although inconvenient, is to drag and drop files straight into Firefox.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I already have Firefox on my laptop and via Mozilla I was asked again to install Firefox. Furthermore I always got the question that I should use it as standard browser. I have no idea what else should I do in that case. If I would install again Firefox, I will lose all the paid apps which run already on the current version. So I am really very confused about the characteristics of this Firefox installation and the strange requests by Mozilla to install Firefox.

I would be delighted if you could me support with checks to find out about the nature of the current Firefox installation or a simple de- and reinstallation instruction of Firefox (and keeping the paid apps like Ad Blocker...).

Thank you in advance for your feedback

Hi Team,

I am having issues logging in to my Firefox account to sync the browser.

"This profile was previously synced to a different account

To keep your data organized and secure, each Firefox profile can only be synced to one account. To sign in using [email removed]@aftc.co, create a new profile."

Recently I've had this issue (on reddit) where after I expand a video in the feed, and start scrolling, all the visuals freeze.

I know it's only the visuals, because I can still interact with the website (usually unexpand the video, or pause it) with the image still frozen and audio still playing.

I can fix it by tabbing firefox down, and then up again. While researching I found the profiler, and finally managed to capture the moment it happened.

I'm no stranger to technical stuff but it's a loooot of data to process, I did a "clean" profile recording as well where I did the same action and where it didn't freeze, and I can't really make heads or tails out of what the issue is.

The recording managed to capture the phenomenon and I only clicked twice during that period, to expand two reddit expando videos, the second one is what caused the issue when scrolling. The only thing I see is a spike in memory usage

Not sure if I can (or should) upload the profile recording here or what, but it's been bugging me a lot.

It's pretty tricky to replicate because it seems to be random when and what triggers it, even expanding the same videos doesn't replicate it. Sometimes I go days without it happening, sometimes it happens 6 times in a single session.

I've added some screenshots of various views of the profiler/stack data.

I have an Nvidia RTX 5070ti GPU, hardware acceleration is on, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor.

I think I might have enabled some rendering settings in about:config, maybe it's related to that but I don't remember exactly what.

Maybe it's due to some windows "game optimisation" or the GPU and CPU-GPU fighting?

I have no problems watching videos while playing games or anything though.
