Firefox Community Forum

Up until the latest Firefox Nightly release, I could click on the '+' to open a new tab and immediately start typing the URL. Now, however, I am required to select a container type, something that is useless to me. Is there a way to disable this?

UPDATE: Never mind, I found the setting for Enable Container Tabs, which needs to be deselected. Why is this an opt-out?

Hi everyone,

I recently updated Firefox to the latest version, and ever since, it crashes immediately on startup. I haven’t installed any new extensions or made any significant changes to my system. I’ve tried restarting my computer and reinstalling Firefox, but the issue persists.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Are there any known solutions to fix this crash issue? I really rely on Firefox for my daily browsing, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

When FF is open and then I open TB, several new windows are created in FF. My default FF window disappears and is not present in the windows history. When I reset my computer, sometimes my default FF window reappears. When I do something in FF, TB immediately closes.

At first I suspected TB and put a question in the TB forum. I downgraded TB from 128.2.3 to 115.10.1 after disabling automatic updates of TB. Initially the problem seemed solved, but not so.

I am surprised the FF and TB seem to influence one another.

Working with FF 130.0.1.

For at least a couple months, I've been having an issue with the address line in Firefox. Before I put my cursor in that box so I can type, it looks like this:

But when I start typing, in this case I typed an S, I get this:

instead of what I'm typing with maybe a history - of urls, not url names.

IE: I start typing sure and in the past, it would see a possible choice of suresupport.com. Now, I see anything with sure in it, with no url, just words.

I've looked at the info in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/address-bar-autocomplete-firefox#w_changing-your-address-bar-settings but even choosing different configurations and even with none selected, I still have the same problem. I can't see what I'm typing because the words are in the way as in my second screenshot.

As of this writing, I've now have no checkmarks in "Search Suggestions" and none in Address Bar — Firefox Suggest. How do I get it to only show possible URLs and not words. I almost never use the address bar to do searches, I use Google.

I have been using Firefox to join our web conferencing service (Callbridge) for years exactly the same way, but suddenly audio fails to work presumably since a recent Firefox update. (I'm currently running 127.0.2 (64bit) ) The mic in my headset works great in Firefox on other sites including onlinemictest.com. The mic is recognized by Firefox and permission is provided for the site. When I speak, there is an indication that my voice is heard by Firefox, but it is as if the mic is muted...no sound through Firefox even though the mic is not muted. Again, in another tab on a different site, the mic will work.

If I use Microsoft Edge browser with the same setup for Callbridge, everything works fine.

In Firefox it does indicate I have provided mic permission to the site, and the mic is clearly seen and working, but no sound from FF in the web conferences.

I have tried saving mic permission for the site, as well as removing it from Tools...Settings...Privacy & Security...Permissions...Microphone and permitting Mic use each time the site is launched. Page Info settings are all correct with permission to use the mic and speakers and I have tried enabling autoplay for the site.

I believe any Windows or hardware causes can be eliminated since the same setup works in Edge browser. It seems to be just a Firefox issue that has appeared recently when using the Callbridge site.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Something new: Last week when loading titantv.com Firefox crashed. Repeatedly. Sometimes before page completely loaded. Sometimes after loading and scrolling down page. Continues to crash every time I try to load that page.

Submitted latest crash report. Submitted report ID: bp-f9834b70-7d8c-492e-9728-da19b0241001

Next 4 crash reports: bp-51454956-c702-484f-85af-8cffa0241001 bp-c142600d-3c1e-4f61-9d97-935f80241001 bp-ad10f5e1-772f-4e47-b6ce-435d90241001 bp-aff87750-e91a-450a-b575-c6b280241001

Don't know how to interpret reports.

About two or three times a month the PC randomly freezes completely if a video is running in the actual Firefox browser (regardless of the site, regardless of whether it is in the active tab or in the background). First the image freezes, after about 10 seconds the sound freezes. Only a hard reset helps. The problem is observed both in actual Windows 11 and in Manjaro Linux. In games, rendering, stress tests and other PC works stably, does not freeze. How to solve this problem?

How do I designate StartPage as my search engine in Firefox. I found no place in Firefox Settings to choose a search engine other that your select few. For many years I have been able to do this in previous installations.

Somehow I lost all my Firefox bookmarks and passwords when computer was rebooted with a Windows 10 restore point. I am having difficulty installing an old firefox profile into the new Firefox browser. The Firefox Trouble Shooting suggestions are very confusing and hard to follow with lack of step by step detail. Help!

When I attempt to search something and expect a redirect to my search engine or try to access a site that autocompletes in the address bar (for example, typing drive, autocompleting to drive.google.com, then clicking Enter to go to Google Drive), sometimes the website does not load after pressing Enter, and it is as if the search/address input did not go through after pressing Enter.

This seems to be an issue that has been occurring only over the past few months. What may be the issue, and how may I resolve this?

I keep getting multiple error messages, all diferent discriptions but most say system error or warning with code of cqdp4iohubcc73fh8q can't figure out how to recover! tomleejr@verizon.net

Have been investigating 2 step auth apps. Aegis came out on top. Notice that FF does not support Aegis. Is there a specific reason why? If not, is this something FF would consider?
