As of a two days ago, passkey functionality in Firefox is not working (v142.0.1 on MacOS 15.6.1). I have a passkey setup with Google, and when I sign in and the popup should appear for the passkey, it no longer does. This also causes Firefox to become unresponsive and must be force-quit. Any solutions?

Hi guys, Had Firefox as network default browser for decades. Now I have a problem with my DNS pihole filter, firefox just goes around it. I've read countless articles on how to stop this, I've tried DoH 0 and DoH 5, I've placed a file policies.json in a distribution folder. I've tied everything I can find on the net. Nothing and I do mean nothing, had the slightest effect. Firefox goes around whatever I try.

I've spent many, many hours on this please tell me how to kill this, I'm forced to use another browser at the moment, which is painful.

version 142.0.1 64bit W11.

Thank you Bob.

Using desktop 141.0, noticed issue of the hand pointer either not appearing, or appearing for less than a second and disappearing when hovering over buttons/urls/etc elements. Sometimes it stops being buggy for a minute or so and then goes back. I can't figure out the exact cause for this, but maybe going outside of the window of the browser ? Consistent in the safe mode, on different websites. See the gif for the visual

Mozilla Firefox began to crash all the time; crashes happen almost every ten minutes, and it happens with every site. It still lasts about for several weeks. I tried to reinstall Firefox; I updated my drivers for my computer; I cleared cash and history in the settings; I tried to delete some files from Firefox's folder. All these things did not help. The crashes may happen with any site, and it can happen any time. I have no problem with memory shortage. My system consists of Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 7800 XT and G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x16Gb.

Hello,

I disabled the AI summarizer almost immediately after seeing it because:

1. It was not able to summarize the page
2. It blocked the information I actually needed to see on the page

However, shortly after disabling it I got a pop-up ad advertising the feature! (attached)

Related Question: Want to remove or disable AI summarizer

All, most recently I'm having problems with uploading files from my PC to respective internet platforms. It started with file uploads to ChatGPT, whatever I tried, the upload stalled and ultimately failed. Second platform was Vimeo, same problem, file upload stalled and finally failed. Such problems do not occur when using Chrome as browser, or when using Firefox via my Android. Never had such problems before. Firefox runs on latest version 142.0.1, cache is empty and all cookies deleted. System details: Desktop PC, Win 10 Pro, Vers. 22H2, all updates included. Have the same problems on a different Desktop PC. Very much appreciate you feedback and ultimately solution of the problem.

Kind regards, Hanns-Georg Büschelberger

I'm a user of the new "Ask AI" feature in Firefox, and while I appreciate the convenience of having an AI assistant in the browser, I've noticed a significant limitation that prevents the feature from being truly useful.

The Problem

Currently, when you right-click and select the "Ask AI" option, the prompt sent to the chatbot only includes the selected text and the page title. It completely omits the page's URL. This is the prompt that is sent:

* * I’m on page “<tabTitle>Get Support | Mozilla Support</tabTitle>” with “<selection></selection>” selected.

• * Please summarize the selection using precise and concise language. Use headers and bulleted lists in the summary, to make it scannable. Maintain the meaning and factual accuracy.

This is a major issue because without the URL, the AI cannot access the full context of the page. It can't scrape the content, analyze the structure, or understand the full context of the selected text, which is often crucial for generating accurate and comprehensive summaries or answers. The feature, as it is, relies entirely on the user manually selecting a large block of text, which is clunky and often insufficient.

Proposed Improvements

   Include the URL in the Prompt: The most critical improvement would be to automatically include the page's URL in the prompt sent to the AI. This would allow the AI to properly "see" and interact with the full page, making tasks like "Summarize" much more effective.

   Allow Custom Prompt Editing: A second, highly beneficial feature would be the ability for users to customize the prompt before it's sent. This would give users more control over the AI's output and enable more creative and specific uses of the feature beyond the pre-set options. This would also allow users to manually insert the URL if needed, as a workaround for the current limitation.

These changes would transform the "Ask AI" feature from a novelty that only works on selected text to a genuinely powerful tool for research, content analysis, and productivity.

Thank you for considering this request.

When I try to login to Facebook I can't and a screen appears with

"Sorry! Something went wrong :(

This happens even in Troubleshooting Mode …

Exactly the same issue with DuckDuckGo browser but no difficulties with Safari where I can login to Facebook as usual …

At the end of each session, I ALWAYS delete my cookies and history. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do this. (At the moment, 2.9 kb remain.) Please advise as to how to accomplish this, and, if the problem happens again, how to remedy it.

Sincere thanks,

One of the websites I need for school requires pop-ups. I can't click on the button to permit pop-up windows for just that site because it only flashes for less than a second and it is grayed out. I tried to go to preferences to disable the pop-up blocker, but the checkbox to disable it is grayed out. I created a new profile, but the button to disable the pop-up blocker is grayed out on that too. I now have to use chrome for this website because I can allow pop-ups on that browser.

My question is why is this setting grayed out? And how can I re-enable pop-ups or at least edit the exception list because that is grayed out right now too. Any other tips for troubleshooting similar issues in the future would also be appreciated.

When I try to save a page as a link, the space for the URL is filled with 'VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV'! How do I fix this? I can't take a screenshot because it disappears when I switch to cut & snip or 'save screen'.

I am on Firefox 142.01 and Windows 11. For the past month or so, after logging into websites such as chewy.com, orbitz.com, marriott.com etc, the screen returns completely blank. I then have to go to Chrome if I want to do anything. I use NoScript 13.0.9 and have allowed all access so not sure what is blocking the browser content. There are no error messages or anything displaying at all. Any assistance is appreciated, thank you!

AI "summaries" or "explanations" have been popping up in front of actual useful text that I want to read. How do I disable this AI summarizer or turn it off? If this removes an AI chatbot, even better.

Getting ready to replace my computer. Is there a way to take my Firefox bookmarks and passwords along with me. I know there are 2 profiles in different directories.

c:\users\jer\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles AND c:\users\jer\appdata\local\mozilla\firefox\profiles

Don't really know difference between roaming and local, except roaming is a lot bigger.

I doubt I could copy the whole profiles as they would contain information that is about current computer and wouldn't work on new computer. However, it seems that I have read or seen there are files within these profiles that just contain my bookmarks and passwords and they can be moved to another profile.

I just need to know the name of the files that hold his information.

Any help would be appreciated.

I used to leave many tabs opened in my browser so that when I got back I could easily find the one I wanted to use.

Now I can't because the Mozilla browser just won't save them. So each time that I open the browser they are all gone...

... Is there somersetting I can DO????
