Firefox Community Forum

I updated to Firefox 141.0 and now Google Maps is not working correctly. When I look for directions the map does not show the route. If I go to street view I get a black screen. Google maps is working fine on Edge or Google on the same pc.

I recently added ChatGPT as a search engine option. I tried to use the voice interface to simply ask the question instead of typing it out. An error message quickly appeared that stated "To use voice mode, you'll need to enable your microphone and try again." I could not find a way to grant this permission. The only setting mentioning "permissions" was in privacy & security. When I click on "settings" I receive the following message showing websites which have asked for permission so that I could choose to grant it or not, but, what it does not provide is a way for me to grant spontaneously if I choose to. ChatGPT has not requested permission so how do I, without a request from a site, choose to grant them permission to access and use the mic on the laptop so that I can simply talk to it?

Hello,

I'm writing because I’ve encountered an issue with the tab groups feature in Firefox.

Some time ago, after a browser update, I noticed a new feature that allowed me to group tabs thematically — I could name each group (e.g., "Study", "Work"), choose a color for it, and save and close groups to reopen them later. I found it very useful and used it a lot.

Last night, I decided to declutter my browser and closed several tab groups using the built-in menu. A bit later, I shut down my computer, but perhaps too quickly. This morning, when I turned my computer back on, Firefox was very slow to start. After a restart, everything seemed to work fine again, and the open tabs were restored.

However, all my previously saved (but temporarily closed) tab groups disappeared. In the tab group menu, I can now only see the ones currently open. I’ve searched through all the settings and history but cannot find any way to restore the missing groups.

Is there any way to recover the tab groups that I had previously saved and closed?

Thank you very much in advance!

General / Startup / Open previous windows and tabs is set off; nonetheless it opens them.

This is on 142.1.0 64 bit Windows.

How can we turn it OFF?

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

Hello. i noticed that my shortcuts are missing. i went to settings to check if it's enabled (check mark) and it is in fact enabled. tried to reset my computer and the shortcuts are still not there. on the main firefox page there is actually no shortcut icons on there...at all. all of the options in settings work with the exception (of course) the shortcuts. i would like to know why this is happening...thx

Since the 145.0.2 update web pages are loading very sloooooooow. Also, images are loading very slowly, if they load at all. At the start pages would not load at all then about a week they started loading but very slow as mentioned. Any ideas/help will be very much appreciated. I am using Windows 11.
