Recently, I've noticed that, when I Google something, and it shows those AI-created drop-down options (highlit on the screenshot), clicking on the drop down arrow does nothing; no error, no "dropping down", nothing.

How can I suppress a recurring pop-up in Firefox that claims my computer is infected with a virus and it instructs me to download McAfee Antivirus to clear it out. I've done multiple scans with my Norton Antivirus which showed I had no viruses. The fake pop-ups appear to be coming from Firefox.

When opening a new window on firefox I see a "homepage" (No URL offered at the top of the page), offering some helpful, frequently used shortcut icons followed by a number of headings, i.e. : Popular Today, Connections, Featured Videos, etc., providing image/links to stories from various "news" or "interest" websites, which I can click on to view. Opening a number of these sites in order to view the advertised "story" require setting up a free, or paywall account/membership, etc.. How can I eliminate these undesirable/unwanted options from being "offered" or shown on my firefox homepage? Something may look interesting, but I'm not one to sign up, or pay to view these opportunities. I see where I can eliminate entire Categories, but what I'm trying to do is block, or eliminate the "offer to view" what I deem "unwanted offers to sign up to view this "story". Can this "Junk/Bait" be eliminated from my homepage on a site by site basis? As examples: CNN, Wired", "the cut", among others. Can the page be configured to eliminate the offering of "Non-Free", "Non-Membership", "Non-Signup" Sites? (Apologies for my lack of appropriate semantics, I'm just a user, not an Internet Expert, developer, or or software-savvy person.) As an aside, is there a way to contact a real live human person at Mozilla/Firefox to assist with issues like this, or answer related questions. All I seem to find are circular links to "Contact Mozilla", which bring me to unrelated FAQ databases, and user forums, etc., where I find I'm unable to get an answer to the question asked? Thanks for reading and advising!

Greetings! I asked this as a "Question" over a month ago with no answers offered. Perhpas I should have posted it here:

I'd like to move the Firefox program files to a secondary hard drive without losing bookmarks, settings, etc. Please advise the best way to go about this. Win 11, Thank you.

The reason for this, if relevant, is that my C dirve is filling up and if I can move some of the files off it, it would be easier than replacing the drive.

TIA

I have installed Firefox's free VPN. It shows in the toolbar, as a grey X and a grey "VPN". When I click that, I receive a series of promising, colorful dialog boxes that ultimately change nothing. I can only click the grey VPN and run through the same cycle again with the same results (opening yet a new tab). I have looked in Extensions and Themes > Manage Your Extensions, and can't find the VPN. How do I turn it on?

I followed the instructions to access Mozilla Firefox and nothing happened. Then there are unlimited instructions that lead me nowhere? It used to be so simple. That was the original Microsoft approach for new users.

Estoy observando un comportamiento específico en Firefox que no logro reproducir en otros navegadores basados en Chromium.

Escenario de prueba:

Sitio web con un visor panorámico personalizado. Imágenes panorámicas de aproximadamente 4.500 px de ancho. Movimiento horizontal continuo y lento. Sin reproducción de video ni elementos pesados adicionales.

Resultados observados:

En Chrome, Edge, Brave y Opera el desplazamiento es fluido desde el primer instante. En Firefox el desplazamiento comienza con pequeños tirones o saltos visibles. Los tirones disminuyen progresivamente y desaparecen después de aproximadamente 4 a 12 segundos, dependiendo de la cantidad de panorámicas activas. Una vez estabilizado, el movimiento es completamente fluido. El comportamiento se reproduce incluso utilizando una sola imagen panorámica. Si existen varias panorámicas, el síntoma vuelve a aparecer cada vez que una nueva imagen entra en pantalla.

Pruebas realizadas:

Se descartó que el problema estuviera relacionado con transiciones entre imágenes. Se descartó que estuviera relacionado con programación o temporizadores. Se probó con una sola imagen activa. Se probó utilizando distintos métodos de desplazamiento. El comportamiento sigue siendo exclusivo de Firefox.

La impresión es que Firefox requiere algunos segundos para estabilizar el renderizado o la decodificación de imágenes panorámicas anchas antes de alcanzar una animación completamente fluida.

¿Existe alguna recomendación específica para animaciones panorámicas continuas de gran ancho en Firefox?

Every time I open up my computer something has changed. My favorites in the little boxes are a nightmare. one day they make a new box for everything I have been on that day. well this morning they were all gone except for 1. very disappointed with u

Hello. I added some controls like zoom control to firefox toolbar and it's work while firefox is opened. after closing and re-opening the firefox, those controls will disappear. what's the problem?

Hi

I don't know which wrong manipulation I have done, but the "+" sign to create new tabs has disappeared.

Could you please help me to get it back ?

(I know that I can right-click and choose "new tab" in the menu, but the "+"sign is definitely more convenient 😅)

Thanks in advance ! :)

Hello, I recently used Firefox to either open, save, or both screenshots (using windows key) that changed the files to png. Png will not print on the printer I used so I've tried searches online, Mozilla, pc settings, but can't seem to undo, that is restore the screenshot to its original setting*. I have used an app to convert some png back to jpg but that's just one more computer hassle I don't need. *I've thought about restoring all settings to default but I couldn't begin to say what other acceptable changes I might have made.

The PC used to save as jpg or pdf but either one would work.

Yes, I have carefully followed whatever directions were given, pretty sure, anyway. This note is two hours after my first question. And, yes, I am a simple person.

Thank you.

recent firefox update can no longer copy and paste when creating a blog post in Squarespace, I have been using squarespace for around 15 years for my websites and I have never seen this issue, Firefox 15.1 installed and all of a sudden when trying to create a blog post in Squarespace, when I right click a text box pop up and it no longer says paste so I can no longer copy and paste text - this is more than a little annoying, you will not be surprised to know that I am now using Chrome to create my posts, there is no issue in chrome. I am a firefox geek! how can i solve this problem, I just did another update from Firefox, the issue remains I have been using computers for 40 year so I am not a novice but software glitches, I am lost

A client of ours has recently raised an issue with with us stating where right-click, Paste does not work when adding text to a new LinkedIn post

After investigating, we have been able to reproduce the same behavior on our devices.

However, from our testing, we can right click to past on comments, messages and searches just fine

Troubleshooting already attempted:

Cleared Firefox cache Performed Firefox refresh Tested across multiple devices

We have confirmed this occurs on:

Clients device My work desktop My work laptop My personal desktop My Personal Macbook

This issue appears to have started after updating to Firefox version 151.0.0. I know this as i have tested this on my work laptop, appeared to work fine then stopped working after manually updating from 150.0.3 to 151.0.0.

Please let us know if there are any known issues, additional troubleshooting steps, or if further diagnostic information would help I have attached screenshots of the issue.

I have also tested this in the Google Chrome web browser and appears to be working correctly as also seen in the screenshots.
