Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I wanted to add a passkey to my Firefox account, and to do so, I need to receive a confirmation code sent to my email address. However, this code is not arriving. My email is an alias (email forwarding is enabled). I have tried requesting the code multiple times, but unfortunately, I still cannot receive it. Furthermore, when I try to add an alternative email address - so that the verification code could be sent to a different mail - I am also required to authenticate using my primary email. How can I resolve this issue? Thank you in advance!

After an update (seemingly, I did not run 'sudo pacman -Syu'), the tabs have changed in look and to be frank i find the new layout ugly. How do I turn it back? Attached is a photo of the new tab groups, i couldn't get one of the circular tabs.

Using Firefox 115.38esr, the menu bar disapeared but I got it back but at the same time the tool bar expanded downward, showing more detail about each tool and the address bar shortened. How to I restore it?

Noticed that this shortcut to open recently closed tabs is not operating with the vertical tabs option turned on. Help/fix would just be this shortcut being accounted for in the next patch with vertical tabs.

After recent updates there is a line in my open tabs list, currently below the first five open tabs. Why is it there? How can I make it go away? I'm using MacOS 11.7.11, Firefox 158.0.

Paired my phone with firefox and now the site I used to visit daily doesn't work going to uninstall the browser. No reason why the site suddenly cannot be reached. Bullshit! https://techupdatestrends.top/mediatagmains/1.php

Currently I am trying to use the firefox built in VPN option. When I hit the turn on it turns on and goes green but I am unable to browse. I suspect this is due to the corporate firewall and content filters that are in place when I am in the office. The firewall team is looking for support as we are unable to find out what access is needed to be open for this service to work. What IP's does the service connect to for access? What ports are use for setting up that browser level VPN? Is their any application or urls that should be allowed? If documentation for what access is needed to be opened on a corporate firewall would be appreciated. We have searched extensively and cannot find the information other than this runs by Fastly. We cannot find ports/urls/ips that are needed.

Thanks Chris.

i have reinstalled firefox numerous times and checked my download pathway each time but all downloads fail. I have shut down site blocker and privacy badger. I have dropped every type of security I can find to get something to come through but nothing works. I like firefox but it looks like I may have to switch browsers

The top row in Firefox browser doesn't have any tabs, it looks as pictured in screenshot (Chrome below for comparison). I only see the icon and text for a page, but that isn't enough to know clickable area, and it makes it unintuitive.

I tried several browser themes but none of them changes this. There doesn't seem to be a setting for hardware acceleration anymore that used to solve it for some users in the past based on a search on topic.

Maybe this really is how it's meant to look but the design just went backwards from what we want to see; tabs are no longer tabs but something vague. Can never please everyone i suppose, but i want old back.

So i can not open up a youtube video i click on the thumbnail and nothing happens. Ive been working with chatgpt with this promblem and it still hasnt worked. I have factory rested my whole destop didnt help. it works in troubleshoot mode but not in the main one i had the problem on google chrome and i switched to firefox nothing changed and am frustrated I need help talking with chatgpt for 3 hours didnt work.

Every time I manually update firefox, it reinstalls the automatic update malware "Mozilla Maintenance Service". I can't stop this malware from being installed with my browser every time I update Firefox. I call it malware because its not wanted, and it behaves like malware by secretly downloading content without my consent and then shutting down my browser when it finishes by blocking access to all new tabs.

I've tried adding policies to stop auto updates, but Mozilla Maintenance Service ignores all policies. I'm going to see if I can contact AVG and explain to them that Mozilla Maintenance Service is malware and see if I can get it classified as such to see if that'll finally get through to someone because I'm sick of this crap constantly being installed and forcing things on me whenever they want and not when I want.

Now after this update, every google search forces open my location service trying to force me to give location rights. This update is even more malware than all the other updates before hand. Firefox is getting extremely dangerous.

Here is a video which would demonstrate it best: https://youtu.be/MpHX4Ep-IMM

These two comparison are made between Firefox 158.0 (64 bit) in Troubleshoot Mode and Brave 1.97.59 (64 bit), on Windows 10, version 22H2. I use the 30MB Big Buck Bunny version on test-videos.co.uk site, Firefox seems able to load the 1MB, or 2MB version pretty smoothly, but higher than that, it starts to stutter, for some reasons I cannot understand.

(Most results I can find online tell me to "disable hardware acceleration", but I have been turning that setting on and off multiple times without seeing any changes)

Ironically, videos on Youtube can load normally without issues. It just seems any embedded videos would behave oddly like this, which I encounter most often on Discord.

Please, I would appreciate any insights. I can provide additional information if needed. Thanks in advance.
