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.

Hi, after upgrade of ubuntu to 24.04 i got into problems with using Firefox. I it running on x11 with proprietary nvidia driver, no matter of source package (snap or deb from the Firefox repository) and no matter of safe mode the Firefox gets frozen when clicking into any dropdown control in side page, the same happens when trying to open bookmark folder in the bookmarks panel or even the dialog that opens from the star icon in address folder that should add page into the bookmarks. When running on command line, in case of the snap version there are just some warnings of some missing css file, in case of the deb version it does not output anything suspicious. I was even trying to change the UI theme (qt) as well as GTK theme in case it makes any difference, but it did not... Thanks for any help.

It looks like firefox recently updated with new privacy features (great!) What's not so great is that now it forces me to log into gmail each time I open a new browser window (not great). I have several different accounts that regularly use so this isn't ideal.

I've tried adding both gmail.com and google.com as exceptions under the cookie settings (didn't work). I even went and turned off the "enhanced tracking protection" on every step of the gmail login page and my inbox. Still kicks me out once I open a new browser. Any help to remedy this problem would be great.

Firefox has been my default browser for many years on my debian linux desktop.

I upgraded from version 129.0.2-1 to version 130.0-1 in the normal manner and the new firefox does not connect to remote sites. It does connect to local pages on my PC and, surprisingly, also to www.google.com from where I can access news, for example.

The chrome browser on the same PC has no problems accessing sites, nor does the version 129.0.2 firefox. Only the version 130.0 firefox has a problem.

This happened using my current profile, using --safe-mode and using --no-profile mode on the version 130.0 firefox. I was able to see some packets from a remote site (www.akamai.com) come back on wireshark but the page did not display on the browser. This also happens for sites that appear on the default new tab page, like wikipedia and youtube.

Any ideas on this? thank!!

Recently, I've run into logging in on at least two websites where I have two-factor authentication set up. I'll click the sign in button, and rather than advancing to ask for my authentication code, I get stuck in an endless loading loop and am unable to do anything.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have already tried clearing cache and cookies and restarting in safe mode.

This issue only happens to me on desktop. The mobile version of firefox still lets me log in, but I prefer to use desktop.

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?

When I type in Word 365 (Mozilla Firefox, 129.0.2 (64-bit)- snap for Ubuntu 24.04), using East European characters (e.g. š, č, ž), the text after the first such written character (see the first uploaded image) disappears after going to new line (pressing Enter or moving mouse to another line) (see the second uploaded image). It worked before on the Ubuntu 22.04 with manually installed firefox (not from snap) and is also working in Chrome.

I am unable to find the solution. I already installed additional fonts, I also created links to the installed fonts in $USER/snap/current/.local/share but nothing helps.

Has anyone encountered similar problem (and found a solution)?

Hi, This is more of a nuisance than a serious problem. I am constantly getting a header message in Sharepoint "allow access to Microsoft 365 account". When I choose "allow access" I get a pop-up that lets me choose my institutional SSO account, which says I'm signed in already. This doesn't occur in Chrome (where I'm logged into my institutional email).

Does anyone know how to stop this message from popping up every 5 minutes?

I am new to Sharepoint (and not impressed!). I don't actually see any difference in its behavior whether I've allowed access or not.

thanks for any hints

My firefox browser has a problem for first time. A few URLs in history are rapidly cycling through the address bar. The page scrolls automatically moveing my browser window to the bottom. Attempts to bring it back failed as it rapidly goes back to bottom. It is like the browser is being manipulated from outside. The problem is not present in Edge browser! I tried to open settings but the page doesn't display GENERAL menu choices, and is stuck to what's new. The rapidity of movement is like flickering due to a malfunctioning keyboard key stuck at some point. Any suggestions?

I am having continuous problems with opening some sites. The site opens and immediately shuts down the browser immediately. Its not every site but I have real problems with DHL.com and Creativepro network specifically. I have tried two other browsers, Brave and Opera. Opera is caught up in a loop with one of these sites now so I will have to reinstall it.

Can't tell if its the browser config or my computer.

BTW i'm using a Mac 14.6.1 and I access the internet via starlink (I'm in rural New Zealand).

This is getting very frustrating.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

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.

Hi, my issue is my banking web page login was working just fine, until the last week or so when I could no longer sign into the site. I called the bank and they troubleshoot is and we found they could sign in with temp password, I could not with Firefox browser. So I switched browser to Edge and no problem.

I went back to try to troubleshoot for Firefox browser. Page loads just fine, but when I try to log in I get having technical issue please try again or call customer support. I did call the bank the web page is working just fine, just can login using Firefox browser. I tried to clear out history and cookies, got the same message of please try again. I changed my settings from strict to standard and still same message. I am using Mozilla VPN and changed different locations and still same message for several locations. So I just turned off VPN and tried to login and same message of please try again. So not using the VPN should have worked, but it didn't.

Any other browser that I use will work just fine. So something is blocking my access to a banking web page. No sure what else to try. I don't like Edge and have always used Firefox. The web page was working just fine even with VPN on to login. Not sure if the latest update to Firefox browser cause a conflict for the issue I am having. Appreciate any help you can provide to help resolve the issue at hand. t

My wife's WinX desktop was working fine this AM. This PM, she got a notice to update Firefox and said "Yes". Since then, she's been unable to start Firefox and neither can I. There are two error messages: 1. The procedure entry point SECITEM_FreeArray could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\xul.dll 2. Couldn't load CPCOM

I tried uninstalling Firefox and it froze with similar error messages. I finally got it uninstalled and reinstalled and now it seems to be working fine. Anybody else had today's update or is this a freak error?

Well I was trying to pay my bills and I couldn't pay PGE as it says its not supported. Tehn I go to pay my Xfinity and Access Denied popped up.. What the hey is going on that these companies wont support Firefox? I hate Google. I've been paying my bill on the Firefox platform for years. This is frustrating. Are you able to help. The last time I was able to speak with a human who walked me through the back end and I'm sure we went to settings but I'm not that skilled.

My Mozilla Firefox keeps disconnecting from my Google Workspace account. I use this for work and access my email, calendar and contacts. This is a new problem and it only happens with my Mozilla browser. I am fine with Chrome. I don't won't to change but I may be left with no choice if I can't figure out a fix to this problem.

Right now, the only way I can reliably switch profiles in Firefox is to go to about:profiles.

I'd like to be able to launch a profile from the terminal instead. I've tried these commands:

$ firefox -P "home" $ firefox --Profile "/Users/josh/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/o4w0riri.home-1725314907557"

both result in the dialog "Open Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?". From there, I can either refresh my profile or open in troubleshooting mode, neither of which is a desired option. If I don't specify a profile, it doesn't bring up the dialog, but it's not always the profile I want to open.

I have already cleared the cache! When I visit the site https://games.usatoday.com/category/puzzles and select the puzzle "Word Roundup", it opens, incorrectly, with this URL: https://games.usatoday.com/games/uclick-word-round-up. The clues do not open. And the correct date is shown and the puzzle can be played without the clues.

But, if I use MS Edge, which I detest, it opens completely with this URL: https://games.usatoday.com/games/uclick-word-round-up.

However, using Firefox, if I go to the developer's site, http://syndication.andrewsmcmeel.com/puzzles/word-roundup, it opens correctly with the correct date BUT WITH A DIFFERENT PUZZLE"!

I have visited URL: https://games.usatoday.com/games/uclick-word-round-up thousands of times without issues.

Does anyone have any thoughts please?
