Firefox Community Forum

Since today there is a severely unwanted feature included in firefox: the list all tabs button. It is ugly, bloated and gets in the way. There does not seem to be a reasonable way to remove this "feature".

I find the inclusion exceedingly intrusive and grating. How do I roll back to a previous version of FF? I was quite happy with my minimalist bars and this button takes up an excessive amount of space without providing ANY useful function. Preferably I would be allowed to remove the button entirely, but until then I would like to look at a UI that doesn't take up excessive space for no reason.

Focusing on making my experience with Firefox worse is not a winning move.

Mozilla Update appears to have a bug. I have several Windows 10 or 11 PCs with Firefox, and nearly all have the same problem. My event log is loaded with Event ID 16398, saying "A new BITS job could not be created." When I run the Get-BitTransfer command, I see the queue is filled with MozillaUpdate transfers. I have to execute "Get-BitsTransfer | Remove-BitsTransfer" to clear them out.

I can't find anything on the web to stop this, or even acknowledge it is happening to others.

I'm still using Windows 10, and want to continue using it as long as I can. I just read that Microsoft is going to force all users to use Edge when Windows 11 becomes mandatory next year. This means that all access to Firefox will be cut off. Is Firefox preparing for this? Will there be some way for us to NOT be forced to use Edge (which I do NOT like at all)-- i.e., will there be some way to work around it? Please figure out some way for us to not have to use Edge. This is a horrible, Big Brother-esque situation. Thank you.

This is another moment where I have to post through my Mac Monterey when the problem is on Window 10 64-Bit. This problem surfaces when there is an update available to either program, though it seems like most times, not every time. Currently there is one available for Firefox that does not download. Previously the download installed on its own when this happened. I have shut down and restarted the system at least three times. At the last time I restarted in Safe Mode With Networking. It detected the update but would neither download nor check for updates. The message read to reinstall the new version. Is there any way to fix this updating problem once and for all? It is peculiar the Edge does not display this behavior. Right now what tabs I had open froze; so I had to use this system to post with Firefox for Mac Monterey. Thanks in advance.

The only way I can use the Firefox browser is if I disconnect my Firewall on my Macbook with the macOS Sequoia 15.0 installed. On Oct 2 I received an update for my Firefox browser & it solved the problem, however today, Oct 3, the problem has occurred again where I have to disconnect my Firewall. The solution that I use at the moment is to change to another browser (Safari) which is not really what I want. How can I correct this problem or can you help?

Since Mozilla Firefox web browser v127.0 (released June 11 2024) the manual installation of the Adobe Acrobat Pro extension (the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file) do not work anymore!  :disappointed_face:

So, when you go in any higher version of Mozilla Firefox web browser then v126.0.1 (released May 28, 2024) to this web browser Menu Bar -> Tools -> Add-ons and Themes -> Extensions -> Install Add-on From File..., and then try to manually import-install the Adobe Acrobat Pro extension (the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file) into the Mozilla Firefox web browser, and from this HDD location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Browser\WCFirefoxExtn\WebExtn\signed_extn\adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi

The Mozilla Firefox web browser will say during this .xpi file installation: "This add on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt"!  :disappointed_face:

However, in any Mozilla Firefox web browser version prior v127.0 (released June 11 2024), this manual import-installation of the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file will be most successfully installed in a Mozilla Firefox web browser without any problem!

I also create the most detailed and step-by-step post on the Mozillazine.org Forum and the Adobe Forum about all of this problem:

So, please help and advice further. Thank you in advance and best regards!

Hello: FF dev 132.0b2, w11p. It's become wacko.

I don't know the cause. My guess as to what I see: FF has gone into permanent troubleshoot condition. Help menu seems to say it's not there, but this is

What I have:

-black theme -limited address bar, most of my items absent -NO items in bookmarks bar -NO extensions

What I want (what was there before) -ALL of the above (full items I put in address bar, including ghostery, bitwarden and all other -ALL extensions -my chosen theme (a light one)

What I did:

last nite: 2 oct, I hit the restore button in help menu, troubleshoot item. IT WORKED!

What happened next today, 3oct, I go to "america cares. org" site, and all of a sudden the "what I have" Firefox (as above) has taken over. -Hitting the restore in the help menu did NOT fix this time.

What's next:

-- do I try to restore a previous dev build version? Just follow the Moz instructions?

I did, last night, add a stable FF (in addtion to dev build, not replacing, in its own separate folder). Since the dev build was working again after refresh last nite, I removed the stable using Revo. Do I try that (again)?

Thank you.

How can I remove monitor, relay, mozilla vpn from the Account drop down menu. See attached example.

The ONLY reason anyone goes further down this menu is to get to the other tabs on other devices. These things, on especially my super small laptop screen, only get in the way.

Any way to stop showing these in this menu?

I really appreciate your time and help. I understand Mozilla's want to promote these, but come on, get this crap out of the way.

Not sure if its the update for firefox or the update of antivirus norton software, but firefox keeps crashing after I open it up. I tried restarting it about 10 times already. And even removed the app and reinstalled, but no luck. Not sure what else to do, but I love this browser and would hate to switch it up. Any advise would be great on how to fix this issue.

Using Firefox I can no longer access my gmail accounts. Instead I am provided the Google Help Center screen advising me to clear cache & cookies. This situation has been my experience since a upgrades to both Windows and Firefox this week. I can only access my gmail accounts via the Microsoft Edge browser now.

Firefox was working all day. Then when I went back to it later in the day, it would not start saying that it couldn't find a dll.

The instructions I found onsite, using another browser was to uninstall Firefox and do a clean install. They instructions said that I would not lose my bookmarks.

I faithfully followed the instructions and uninstalled the application, it had problems doing that as it kept coming up that it could not find a file. However, it did complete.

I then reinstalled Firefox.

I have no bookmarks to anythings. No banking bookmarks, no entertainment bookmarks... no nothings.

It will take me months to recover if I can even find those sites again....

I'm really annoyed with Mozilla and am now seriously considering a new primary browser. In all my years on a computer I have never had this happen before.

Now if you know a way that I can recover all my bookmarks, I will reconsider.

I updated nearly all of my passwords on my desktop to firefox-generated passwords. Then I was on Firefox on android, and I needed to login to something, but it was filling in the old password. I pressed "sync" in the app, but that didn't update the password. Then I discovered that for reasons I don't understand, all the new passwords in firefox on my desktop had been overwritten by the old passwords from my phone. How do I recover my passwords? I'm locked out of everything.

I can reach Bank of America, sign in and do everything except the pay bills page is blocked. There is no issue with Chrome. I cleared the cache and cookies, and have the latest update Please tell me what to do next

I received an email when I opened Firefox today telling me that Firefox has increased security with an update that prevents third parties from accessing cookies from any site. Did you send this or was this a scam since I signed on to receive your newsletter before I left the site. thanks.

Hello!

Recently there was an update today, Oct 3rd, where after it was completed, I have been unable to open any extra tabs. Everything has to be in a new window. They keyboard shortcuts do not work and I am running out of ideas.

It will crash out randomly and say that there is an issue when submitting the crash report. Closing the window[s] and then trying to reopen Firefox results in a message saying that it's already running, and the old process needs to be closed to open a new window.

If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you.
