Forum communautaire Firefox

I often use the process manager to find open tabs, since only the front one in each open window shows up in the Window drop-down menu. (And I sure wish those windows would read as the WEBSITE and not the specific page name, as it often gives no help in knowing what website it is)

However, sometimes, like just now, it won't show one or more open tabs! Why? Today I was looking for my Google Voice Messages page, and did not see it anywhere in the list. I thought, maybe I had closed it, but when I manually scrolled through all my open windows, I found it on one of them! Can we not count on the process manager to show us all open tabs?

For the last several weeks, one of my computers when it updated to the new settings menu (version 156ish?), it has lost the ability to maintain some of the synced profile settings. For example, I have a couple websites that I list in the exceptions to not have Firefox clear the cookies, and I additionally have the clear cookies and site data check box enabled so that every other website I visit clears upon exiting. This is the setting combination I have utilized for years to keep the cookies from only 2 websites and clear out everything else.

On one of my computers, I'm able to add the exception, and as long as I do not close Firefox, the website exception settings stick. However, as soon as I exit Firefox, and open it back up, the settings clear themselves again, and I have to manually enter the exceptions again. This is very frustrating because one of the sites that I keep the cookies on the exception list has multiple different logins saved so that I don't have to manually re-login to every time I open Firefox.

I have attempted a refresh, and that did not fix the problem. I have fully uninstalled Firefox, manually deleted the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder contents, reinstalled foxfire and this too does not fix the problem.

The weirdest part of this whole issue is my laptop, does not have this problem and the exceptions are sticking so I know that this setting combo works. Additionally, I have tried unchecking the clear cookies and site data box and this too is not allowing the exceptions to stick.

I have also tried re-syncing my account to pull the settings from my laptop and this too is not working.

This experience is on Firefox 157.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro 26H2

Thanks for your time and please advise as to how to fix.

Firefox just updated to 157.0 and will no longer open PDFs in a default viewer even when I change the settings. My setting say they are set to open in Mac Viewer, but continue to open in browser. I even tried to set it to open in Adobe still opens in my browser.

I do not use all of Fire Fox or any other program. I like some of this and some of that, but like a tough business, you try and stop me from doing this. I HATE it when Fire Fox updates, it changes every thing I have set up for ME, not you. I have stopped all updates until I can take a look at them , but some times I just don't want what you are updating. I don't have my phone synced to my computer, so I don't want you trying to do it. I do not like, especially with Windows 11, all the jumps, changes to try and save my pass words unless I have a key. I don't want a key, just save my pass words. I know Fire Fox is owned and operated by Mozilla, but how can I separate you so I don't have you messing with the way I want things. I use Google, Fire Fox, DUCK DUCK, but I do not like Edge and Bing, but I like some of most of them. I know you have a community of testers but that is not the average user. Some people rely on all the things you, Google, Windows, and Microsoft offer, but I do not think the majority of the users like this. Have you seen a lot of the comments about KEY, They weren't happy with it. So why force it on those of us who don't want it. GIve me my computer back and offer changes but don't force them on us

So I just updated to the newest version of Firefox today as of 10-5-26. Except that the purple new tab screen and header for private browsing windows that I really quite liked is not only gone, but the color that's replaced such is nearly black, making it not only much harder to see anything, but overall far worse to look at. Even worse, it doesn't change from such hardly at all regardless of theme, preventing me from correcting it.

I've attached a copy of the previous version of the new tab screen for private browsing that I managed to find for reference purposes, although such doesn't have the header included.

I would also like to take the time say that I've used Firefox for more than a decade, and I think because I haven't had an issue that's been remotely this bad to warrant creating an account to report such says something about how well Firefox has been working for me.

a Firebox forced update in the middle of a meeting failed. Somehow during reloading the new update, it failed and offered me to reset to default, which lost all my saved setups and URLs. It then offered me a last saved setup, but required a password which I cannot remember having setup

After the last Firefox update, I can no longer open download files (PDFs) from websites in Mac Default Viewer. I have tried the other settings such as open with Adobe, Ask, etc., but they continue to only open in the browser. For work, I download hundreds of documents from a county site, so having them open in my default viewer when I click the link was very useful for a productive work flow. I have tried to open files with my viewer from other sites, but it fails with those too. My tech team tried to help but seems to be a Firefox issue. Settings - Downloads - Files and Applications - PDF - Use Preview (or anything else) is not working. Firefox 157.01, Apple M2 Pro, Tahoe 26.6.2.

I have the latest Mozilla browser. I have Yahoo Mail and each time I open an email from Kohls.com, the images appear for a split second and then disappear and are replaced by a white box with a little symbol in the upper left corner. This only happens to about half of the images in the email. If I open the email in a separate tab, the email appears normal. This only occurs in Firefox, not in Edge nor Chrome. I have used aI to check all of my security settings and nothing is wrong with them, it is just something of how Firefox renders the Kohls.com emails. They are the only emails that act this way. Please help!

A colleague of mine had Firefox logged in with a Mozilla account, before their computer needed to be reset, we checked and Firefox said Synchronisation was on and last succeeded 1 second ago. We proceeded to undertake the reset, but after logging back into the same Mozilla account, none of the bookmarks returned, nor did any saved addresses, passwords or browser history.

I was wondering if there is absolutely anything that we can do, or whether someone at Mozilla are able to check the account just in case?

I'm fearing the worst, and partially expecting it, but wanted to log here for sanity's sake, just in case.

Many thanks Ben

Hello,

Ever since the last Firefox update (on October 30th for me), the text on my inactive tabs has been painfully blurry (picture attached). I previously restored Firefox to default and seemed to have pinpointed a certain extension as the culprit, as well as a file within the profile named addonStartup.json.lz4. Deleting both seemed to have done the trick. However, my issue is now back, I can't find the previous file anywhere in the profile, deleting all the files in the profile that were created on the day when the problem reoccured doesn't fix it either. So I'm kind of at a loss. I have tried to set "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families" to "Arial,Consolas,Courier New,Microsoft Sans Serif,Segoe UI,Tahoma,Trebuchet MS,Verdana" and "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_max_size" to 15 in about:config ; as this is an old fix I've seen for an older similar problem, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ich wollte die Beihilfestelle beim Landesamt für Finanzen aufrufen. Das ist leider nicht möglich. Könnte es sein, dass es einen Zusammenhang gibt damit , dass ich vor ein paar Tagen ein Antivirusprogramm von Avast heruntergeladen habe, nachdem ich seit Monaten dazu von Avast genötigt wurde, da mein Laptop angeblich schwere Probleme aufweisen würde. Beim Online-Banking hatte ich vor Wochen ein ähnliches Problem (das war allerdings noch vor dem Herunterladen dieses Antivirusprogramms), dass meine Zahlungen nicht verifiziert werden konnten. Nach Kontaktaufnahme mit dem Service der Bank sagte man mir, dass ich einen anderen Browser benutzen solle, da Firefox angeblich Sicherheitslücken aufweisen würde.

My Firefox is in English, but the new update page is never displayed in English,

https://www.firefox.com/pt-PT/whatsnew/general/?from_main_nav=true&version=155

Problem number 1: It should be based on the installed language.

Problem number 2: It says PT-PT but it's 100% PT-BR, What is "celular" and "privativo"?, sintax does not conform to european portuguese either.

This morning when I logged into my computer and opened Firefox, I received pop-up after pop-up message warning me that my computer had been infected with 3 viruses. When I clicked on one of the pop-ups, it took me to where I would have to pay something like $160 to fix it.

I immediately ran a virus check on my computer which showed absolutely NO THREATS. Since I these messages do not appear unless my Firefox browser is opened, I believe it is malware that potentially has invaded Mozilla.

I am reporting this, asking that you fully check this out. I am VERY careful what I click or do not click, and my system says there is nothing. Please help.
