Firefox Community Forum

I was trying to look at an item on the Costco web page. As you can see from the image "Pop-up being blocked" the size selection is missing. I guessed and allowed pop-ups from Costco.com. As you can see from the image "Pop-up setting allow pop-up" the missing data is visible.

I thought Firefox would prompt if pop-ups were being blocked giving you the option to enable them. Am I wrong? How is a user supposed to know that there is missing data being blocked by Firefox?

I logged into my Firefox Sync account last week on a newly re-imaged computer. My old computer is listed under "Connected Services" and for the first few days, when I selected "Sync" from the top right menu, the subsequent menu included the name of the the old computer and the list of tabs. That list of tabs is no longer listed and I haven't been able to find a way to access it. Attached is an image of the menu where the list of tabs was previously listed. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have Firefox synced on two laptops. In the sidebar menu, when I look at tabs, I see tabs from the other device, but when I look at bookmarks, I only see bookmarks from the device I'm on. Neither can I see synced bookmarks in Manage Bookmarks. In the Settings, in "Manage what syncs on all your connected devices", I have Bookmarks checked. How do I see my synced bookmarks?

When I enter the verification code I received over email, it says "Bad request: Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again."

There's no bad requests in the Network tab under web developer tools.

Version: Firefox 138.0.3 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 24.04.

When browsing, the tabs and address bar get stuck somehow. Tabs can still be closed with "close other tabs", and new tabs can be opened by following URLs, but the tab component is fully stuck. Sometimes it fixes itself, but usually it requires browser restart.

Firefox tries to install helper each time I try to open Firefox. It seems to install and then repeats each time I try to open the software. If I cancel it will not open either.

After updating to 138.0.4 I no longer have "Recently Closed Tabs" after clearing History. Is there a way to fix this? Can I download a previous version? If so, how?

I accidentally uninstalled Firefox and now I can't sign in to Dashlane on Firefox. I can sign in to Dashlane on other browsers, and i can sign in to other sites on Firefox.

Can you help please?

I am trying to resolve an issue with my firefox browser for MAC OS. Everytime I close my screen to sleep and open it back up, the browser stays on time out mode. I have tried downloading the update, but it never seems to complete or fully initiate. I have gone to the mozilla website and downloading directly from there but the new download wont even let me log into my gmail.com using my biometrics. any ideas?

Hello,

My experience with Firefox has been great for more than 15 years. However recently there's been a trend of adding new functionality without asking the user whether they want it or not. Moreover, some things cannot be disabled even if I try hard enough.

It was an unpleasant surprise to discover that "This time, search with" panel was removed without my consent, and is now replaced by an extremely inconvenient button. I firmly believe that this is not how UX design is done, and whoever made that choice needs to reevaluate their decision.

How can I revert this change besides rolling back the browser version?

The setting "browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride" did not help, it reverts to *true* on every restart. I have not been able to find any other settings, and I believe that this is not something that a user should do their research on.

Is there a way to affect this change?

When I booted up Firefox today, I noticed a good chunk of my tabs were gone. They were nowhere in 'closed tabs' in History, nor in recently closed windows. In trying to restore them, I've now lost ALL of my open tabs with no clear way of getting them back. I have no idea what to do. 'Restore previous session' is not an option available to me.

Using my Outlook a/c in Firefox I have a problem with the slider bar RH side. It is far too thin in width for the mouse pointer to lock onto to slide it up/down. This is NOT the case in Goggle Chrome or MS Edge where it is much wider EVERYTIME & works well. Another example of buggy Firefox, NOT so with Chrome/Edge as 5 IT Depts have told me not to use Firefox for bug reasons. Anyone know how to fix this myself or how to contact Firefox to tell them to fix it.

Hi Just setting up a new Surface Pro/Windows 11 and installed Firefox from Mozilla page. Firefox install completed with a crash report and has never actually run since. Every time I launch I get the app crash window. I've tried running in troubleshooting mode but same app crash. I also note that the crash reports do not get uploaded.

I have uninstalled/re-installed and also tried a fresh install but always the same issue. I also downlaoded the full installer.

Thanks for your help

I've recently sync'd my PC bookmarks etc to my android tablet and since then web sites that previously remembered me now keeping asking me to log in. BBC news, FaceBook are examples.

I am trying to work with an older piece of equipment that has an internet interface, a local IP 192.168.1.x

When I try to connect with FireFox I get the error "Warning Potential Security Risk". When I continue the error message is "MOZILLA_PKIX Error Self Signed CERT"

Accepting the "risk" things seem to work for a while. However, after several timeouts and reconnects FF will not connect. If on the other hand I just let things run without making changes the connections stays up without an issue (until I start making adjustments).

Looking at the certificate (from ~2012) yes it is from the manufacture. There is also a "Finger print"

Is there anyway to bypass this warning/blocking to eliminate the FF/equipment interface from my troubleshooting problem?

Thanks, Lou

No doubt I had something to do with the (fancy font uppercase in bold) B appearing in my Firefox header line as the first and left-most character (image attached). Anyone know the source for this and how to shut it and anything else it does off? I like many others I have read commenting about unwanted things thru the PC years that have a disdain of things that sneak through uninvited.

The other thing so far as I know had nothing to do with Mozilla or Firefox but I'll mention it in case someone has an idea. A product install by the same name permanently labeled an outboard drive with this label bold text'Roboform2Gobold text. I know how it got there, it was with the install the product by that name, which I uninstalled, and no one from that company would or couldn't tell me how to get rid of the relabeling it had done. Uninstalling the software didn't take it out, and no one in a general forum had any suggestions. I know the traditional approach of adding or changing a label, but change attempts don't affect this reminder of a poor product that I had decided not to keep. They refunded, but did not help with the changeless drive label.
