Why do a number of familiar functions in familysearch.org in a tab in Firefox in Windows 10 in a laptop computer fail in the last few weeks with the message: Oops, something went wrong. Please refresh the page. topped by a triangle with an exclamation point inside? Question 1.

Is this message generated by Firefox? Question 2.

Could this failure be caused by a timing out of some impatient wait loop? Question 3.

When I start familysearch.org in a tab in the Edge browser all these familiar functions work. I have noticed that my whole system seems to be running slower in the last few months. I have been running familysearch.org in a tab in Firefox for years without this failure. Refreshing the page as advised by the message never works to accomplish the function. The functions in familysearch are Details for a person, Sources for a person, or the Tree for a person. There were even cases a week or more ago when the Details for a person were visible only down to the display of family where the error message would appear in place of the family information without affecting the earlier data.

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

I was sent the message: Your Firefox has been updated🎉 Celebrating 150 Firefox releases. It lists a lot of great things but I need to know if all those "great things" are free or do I have to pay for those perks. I do not understand most of what is being touted as great in the computer world, so I'm not sure if I want it or not.......

When uploading files with Firefox, I click the upload button, and the file browser window appears to upload files.

For as long as I can remember, it always defaulted to the last folder location that I uploaded a file, but just a few days ago, it stopped working, and always defaults to my home folder.

How can I make the upload window pop up, default to the last uploaded location? My OS is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

My firefox is not recalling the history as I move through tabs. It doesn't appear in the sidebar or in the documented history. This only has happened recently, and it's still recognizing my bookmarks. I've done some troubleshooting, tried relaunching in the mode while switching through tabs, but it's still not recalling. Any help is appreciated.

No audio on Firefox. Google Chrome has sound. Settings at normal audio volumes. Tried computer shut off and re-boot. Tried reload of Firebox.but that didn't help. Had scam attempt just before no audio issue...not sure if that problem.

Three days ago this started happening. When I mouse over the Firefox icon on my task bar, I get a long vertical list of open tabs, the majority of which are blank. When you try to click the X (that appears on the right side of the list when you mouse over a blank space) nothing happens. In the past few days it showed a random mix of blank tabs and open tabs. Yesterday it only showed the open tabs at the top with a long list of blanks below. And today it's only showing the one tab I have active (despite having up to five tabs open before I took the picture).

Before this all started happening, it used to show large tab previews (not just text) that run horizontally along the bottom of my screen when I hover my mouse over the Firefox icon on the taskbar. Now it's just a list that goes vertically with all these blank tabs.

How to return things to normal? (tab previews horizontally without blanks)

I'm running Windows 11 Home, Version 25H2, OS build 26200.7623 and Firefox: 147.0.1 (64-bit)

Thank you, John

I've been extensively relying on the `Ctrl+Alt+X` shortcut to spin up the selected chatbot in the sidebar, but ever since I reset my pc (complete reset, cloud download of windows, clear all apps and files) and re-installed firefox, the keyboard shortcut isn't working for me anymore.

I installed firefox with chocolatey, upon noticing that the shortcut had stopped working, I tried to downgrade to v145, which didn't help either. So an uninstall and re-install later (this time manually downloading the installer exe), `Ctrl+Alt+X` still doesn't work. Although hovering over the chatbot's icon in the sidebar shows the shortcut in the tooltip.

More info: `choco uninstall firefox` created a backup of "Old Firefox Data" or something similar, could that have somehow persisted the malfunction across installs?

Any help would be appreciated! System: Windows 10 Pro Firefox: 146

Is there any work being done to add the option to order the password autofill dropdown to order those entries by recently used rather than alphabetically. See screenshot

Hello,

For few days, it's impossible to connect to FACEBOOK. I have the latest version of FIREFOX, but I have to use another web browser (EDGE) to connect to FACEBOOK. The problem is the same with my two computers with the latest WINDOWS.

Thank you for your help to solve my problem

After an update minutes ago, Firefox immediately crashes on startup and crash reporter launches Rebooted computer. Launched firefox from command line with -safe-mode and -purgecaches

I am receiving "The page isn't redirecting properly - Firefox can't connect to server" error messages. This happens on nearly every website repeatedly for the last six? weeks. It does not happen in other browsers i.e. Chrome. I click the "Try Again" button in the Firefox error msg popup window over and over, 3-14+ times, to get past the error msg and access the site. When I try to login to many sites I am kicked out to the same error msg. Also kicked out of sites randomly when trying to navigate to another page on the same site. I had Claude AI take me step-by-step through all of the trouble shooting and adjustments to various settings. All of my extensions are off. I have had my ISP re-initialize my modem and I've run antivirus scans, still the problem persists. (Strangely YouTube does not have these problems) I love Firefox. I've got it setup just the way I like it. I have been using it for 20 years and during those two decades Firefox has been stable and had only minor glitches. I do not want to change my browser. Chrome feels clunky to me. I'm attaching three representative screen captures of the error msgs. Looking forward to anyone's help.
