Using the Firefox 151.0 Mozilla Firefox for Fedora. Updated as of 23 May 2026, I use just a generic FireFox. I don't customize it, I just use it as it comes from the Fedora distribution.

I cannot save images (right click menu "Save Image As"). Nothing happens when that is selected. This worked a couple weeks ago.

Downloads are supposed to go to ~/Downloads. Checking the setting for this, Go to the three-line menu > Settings > General > Files and Applications, under Downloads, the "Save files to" value is set to Downloads, but the Browse button does not work to reset it. Nothing happens when I poke on the button. I can select the text in the box, but I can't change it.

I found the help page for "What to do if you can't download or save files https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files and went thru every one of the steps there. None of them make any difference.

Strangely enough, there isn't even a "Downloads button" in the top toolbar. If I right click on the top toolbar and select "Customize Toolbar" it shows a downloads icon as already being in the toolbar, but when I click Done, it goes away.

I'm sorry, maybe the problem was there in previous versions however I just noticed it. Or rather the absence of it. The problem is when I open a new tab where I had that mini weather report widget enabled (and I checked that the button in the settings is set to be enabled) the widget is not there anymore, nowhere to be seen.

I made two screenshots of my browser's new tab with no weather widget and one with the settings open to show that the weather widget on/off button is enabled. I'm sorry however that I had to blur things I thought it would be sensitive information.

My OS is Win11 Home Greek and my Firefox is in Greek as well.

I have the latest Firefox update (150.0.1) and cannot get the free VPN on my desktop. I have it on my laptop and my wife has it on her laptop. Any thoughts how I can get it on my desktop. I am synced with my Mozilla account. Thanks.

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I have been a devoted Firefox user for about five years, across both desktop and mobile. I truly love Firefox for its speed, privacy, and customization. However, for the past one to two years, I've encountered a persistent issue on my desktop where Firefox resets unexpectedly. Even though my extensions, passwords, and settings remain, I’m repeatedly logged out of my favorite sites like YouTube, Gmail, and Facebook. Despite reinstalling and troubleshooting, the problem persists. I trust Firefox so much, and I hope you can help me figure out what’s happening so I can continue using it with the same joy I always have.

Thank you so much for your help! Best regards, Md Muhidur Rahman from Bangladesh

Hi! In one of the updates they added built in VPN but i sorta cant find it, is it just feature for select people atm that will roll out fully or? I looked in my settings and stuff i can only find the vpn subsription

Firefox keeps telling me about a VPN, but I cannot find this or any way to use which corresponds to what I see on the screen. Help says "sign in with a Mozilla account", but I don't know what this means. Sign into what? Looking at the Mozilla site there is no way to register or create an account or tell if I already have one. I've signed up to emails etc but find no difference when I use Firefox. It qualifies - verions and UK - what am I missing?

The Firefox update I was prompted to initiate on May 12 resulted in a compatibility issue message. Following Firebox Help recommendations, I re-installed my Firefox. Now I see that my downloads folder has a long string of unfamiliar files, and I need assurance that these are not remnants of malicious activity. All files have names like i-33639-002-XX.jpg and are dated the same time (5/12/2026, 4:07 PM). Each file shows as “0 KB” in size. All are listed as “JPG File”. Has this happened to other Firefox users?

I found on a browser search that setting icon means there are customizable features available. I updated to latest version of Firefox but have no idea what other features are available to customize. Too many setting options to go through every one. How do I find out what I need to do to get the settings icon to go away.

Depuis une récente mise à jour Firefox, les tuiles de raccourcis de la page Nouvel onglet sont devenues beaucoup trop petites avec énormément d’espace perdu à gauche et à droite. Le confort visuel est moins bon qu’avant, surtout sur grands écrans.

Some Firefox update recently put that huge banner of wasted space with a Firefox logo on the top of my Home Page. Before we could go into config and take it away, but no more. This giant banner is invisible, but pushes all my tiles linking to saved pages well below the window of my laptop. Weird choice, and apparently, everyone hates it. Please good people of Mozilla, rethink this nonsense. This is a FEEDBACK, from a long longtime user and admirer of Mozilla, and a yearly donator. Have pity.

How can someone give feedback to Mozilla, not to the "help forum" per se? I want to let Mozilla know I do not like the Firefox logo with its surrounding invisible banner that takes up two-thirds of my home page and pushes my medallions or icons thingies of saved links so far down that they are most invisible. This makes no sense and is unpopular, I have been able to take it off the Home Page, but no linger can go into the config to change it appearing. The web is abuzz with unhappy users over this new update. I want to tell Mozilla, but all I can get is the Forum, which I assume is full of other Firefox users like me, and not "Deciders". Suggestions?

At some point I decided to use default tab wallpapers by Mozilla. With an update of home menu 151.0 , there is a new logo in the center "Firefox". You can see it on (screenshot 1). It covers any background picture, in my case a tail of the fox. I can't figure out how to hide this logo. I have one icon on my taskbar already; having it in the layout is just a redundancy. Obviously i know that i use Firefox there is no need to remind me that

A little extra note: The layout reflow of the logo works bad when the window is resized. It's not centralized.(screenshot 2).

The only band-aid that i see is in Settings >> New tabs >> Blank Page. It turns of wallpapers and whole layout of homepage which is not my target (screenshot 3).

I use Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS , snap Firefox 151.0.1

I'm running full screen on a 24" display at 1920 wide but for my old eyes have scaling set at 150%. I've tweaked my Customize Toolbar to just the way I want it, with no extra spaces, But most of my Extension buttons are hidden under the jigsaw or down in the extensions menu. I don't want most of them out of sight but right on the toolbar(s).

Is there an about:config to force them to be visible? Maybe make the Address Bar double-deep? Maybe just add another empty toolbar to be populated with extension buttons? Or is there an Extension to do something about this?

I have questions about websites I visit that don't seem to work in Firefox, but when I visit the same sites in Microsoft Edge, the sites work fine. Previously (one site, 6 months ago, the second, in the last month), I had no issues with either site. It makes me wonder whether some protocol or requirement has changed that has caused my recent experience. Both sites are secure sites (banking and bill-paying related), and when I first experienced it, I didn't give it much thought since it happened while using the Windows 7 machine. I am now using a newer Windows 11 machine.

My most recent visit to the municipal site (water-bill payment and statement download) resulted in the new tab displaying

HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

Type Status Report

At the credit union site, I click a link that results in rotating arcs atop the webpage's background, and it neither times out nor displays the next screen (a link to a specific account). When I use the credit union's app on my smartphone, the next page displays as it should. (A message reply by the credit union showed a lack of understanding.)

Most of the Firefox settings are at its default settings, and the two sites are allowed to open pop-up tabs.

After 30+ years of using Firefox trouble-free, reverting to Edge is a step backward. (Every time I finish using Edge, I have to run my spyware program.)
