I've set the bookmarks toolbar to only show on new tab. I don't want it to behave otherwise, that's why I set it to that. Yet it is behaving otherwise. It appears on a not-new tab, whenever I add a new bookmark to it. This seems to be incorrect behavior, that goes against user preferences. How do I get the toolbar to behave correctly, to honor the "Only show on New Tab" preference to the letter?

Today, when I logged onto my computer, something went wrong and Windows had to repair my C: drive before it could continue to boot up. Once it did, Firefox was changed. Some of the shortcuts on the windows were missing and I couldn't get them back with the command to "Dismiss" the substitutes. More serious was my new inability to log onto any sites besides Mozilla's. I have tried restarting the computer and turning off my router and turning it back on again. All the while, my Android phone account is able to login to some of these sites without difficulty. I need to diagnose this problem and fix it. How can I do that, please?

Copy, Cut and Paste are not working in Google Sheets or Google Docs using Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C or Ctrl-V. Other control combos do work such as Ctrl-Z, Y and F. These features are working on Chrome with the same files. I disabled extensions and tried the Troubleshoot mode. Neither helped. Using Firefox desktop 138.0.1 on Win-10 Pro.

Hi there, For a couple of weeks my youtube.com and myanimelist.net have both been outdated versions of the sites, such as my youtube showing recommendations i saw weeks ago and my myanimelist showing my shows as unwatched or at an outdated amount of episodes watched. It only changes back to up to date when i refresh.

I have tried clearing my cache and booting in safe mode and these both didn't work. This issue isn't that pressing but getting it fixed would be amazing. I couldn't find anything in the help forums or on google or reddit so Im asking here.

Firefox consuming too much Memory, ranging from 1800 MB up to 2000 MB, causing my other programs (most notably Corel WordPerfect) to constantly crash. How do we resolve this?

Gmail will not open with Firefox as of Wednesday 5/18/2025. I do not have any adblock extensions running.

Gmail opens fine in Chrome.

Any suggestions?

My ISP is VirginMedia and I use their Webmail system for all of my email requirements.

I have FireFox set to download new versions when issued and upgrade when my machine is rebooted.

I rebooted yesterday and the new version FireFox (v138.0.1 (64bit)) was installed.

When I checked my mail later on I got the message:

   Error: Failed to load messages.  Retry.

And that has remained the same for more than 24 hours; none of my folders are accessible and I have been unable to send mail; I have 44 messaqes in my Inbox and 2 in my Spam folder.

I contacted Virgin's Tech Support earlier this evening and they were unable to find any faults at their end, and they suggested trying another browser (which I was loathe to do since FireFox has been my choice for more years than I care to remember ~~ but I bit the bullet and installed Opera - and found that I was able to access my webmail and all of its' folders at Virgin.

Please tell me that there'a fix on the way, I don't want to switch from FFox and nor do I want to run two browsers at the same time.

I'm currently using MacOS 15.4.1 Sequoia with FireFox 138.0.1. It works fine after updating from 138.0.0 on my primary (Administrator) account. However, there is a second User account on this MacBook Pro laptop, used by other family members. All is not well here... Firefox updated itself from 137.0.0 recently and now will not run on the User account. On startup, it asks for an Administrator password to install a Helper tool and then will proceed no further. I have tried :-

Making the User account into Administrator - still hangs Cancel and re-start FireFox - hangs! Re-start the MacBook from cold - hangs! Cleaned Firefox installation and folders in the User Library (both User and Administrator) - still hangs! I'm aware there are two Library folders, one each for the System and one for each user, didn't touch the System Library. Added a new User account - it works! So maybe something in the System Library is the culprit? I've always regarded that area as "off limits" to us mere mortals, so please, not the "Wipe it and Start Again" option.

I don't really want to kill the User account, there is a lot of data in there and surely will miss something important if I delete it.

Summary, 137.0.0 worked, it updated to 138.0.1, it hangs up! I am unable to fix it. Any offers guys?

I want to edit a PDF with firefox. The PDF has two different address lines. When I put in one address it automatically copies it into the other line. But I the two addresses I have to put in are different. But when I edit one the other does the same. What can I do?

When reading email messages the window is too wide for the Mac, therefore I am forced to scroll to the left to read my mail. how do i change the settings so that my email text wraps?

После последнего обновления, заметил, что в полноэкранном режиме перестала пропадать панель задач вондовс10. В других браузерах хром, яндек, тор, опера, проверял, - все работает корректно. Проблема только в мазиле. Перезагрузка проводника, перезагрузка браузера, компьютера и т.д не помогает.

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Since the last Firefox update (138.0.1 64-bit Windows), the On-screen touch keyboard continually pops up even though I am simply touching icons (in YouTube), menus or whatever. (Using my Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 as a tablet - no keyboard attached) This is extremely annoying. The same problem has been reported in a Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1kb6zjo/onscreen_keyboard_keeps_popping_up_with_latest/ I've tried turning off the on-screen keyboard in Windows Settings, and I've tried settings in Firefox Settings. The problem doesn't happen when using Edge, so it is a Firefox issue. It also doesn't happen if I have the physical keyboard attached. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with version 2009, OS build 19045.5737. I'm running AVG Business Internet Security.

For reasons that are not clear, a few days ago, Firefox would not download any files — giving a failure message. I have tried all the different ways of resetting, disabling extensions etc, and even deleting Firefox and re-installing, but that has not solved the problem. Help!

as of last week sometime, videos in my CRM (customer relationship manager) have stopped working. When I use a different browser, ie: Edge, everything works correctly. My CRM company tried to dupliocate the issue on their system using Firefox but they were not having the same issue. Something in my Firefox version 138.0.1 is causing an issue. Can you help troubleshoot and correct my issue?

Windows 11, v23H2

After the last update, I have a problem opening some links just with a left click. Most open fine, but on some sites, I can open the site fine, but all other links have to be opened in a new tab. Sometimes, I can't even get that menu to come up, so I have to save the link URL and open it in a new tab manually.

I have my browser set to open all tabs in a new window, so that's not the problem.

It's very annoying, especially when I'm trying to get something done quickly.

How do I fix this? TIA
