Firefox Community Forum

Wireless cursor just gone after this last update. Changed the battery and all the usual tap, blow on it, no luck. Purchased a new mouse from amazon and no improvement. I found an article to fix this but cannot find what they refer to or understand the names used. I am just there saying, the what? go were?

Upon reboot, all my previously open windows are all clustered in one window. They need only to be each individually dragged to an unoccupied "mini-desktop" at the top of my screen. This is far preferable to having to repopulate several additional interest-specific windows after each reboot.

I need to save my downloads in various different folders - sometimes its a research paper, or music score, or an image and all this could go into folders for different projects. For this reason I always have "ask where to save file" enabled in the settings.

However, with that enabled, Firefox proposes some silly random folder instead of the last one used. Sometimes I have to save maybe a dozen pdfs in the same folder and Firefox proposes some rubbish random folder the first time, I change to the one I need, I save a couple of files into that folder and suddenly Firefox changes again the folder it proposes. This is so incredibly annoying. Why would they do that? But more importantly is there a way to make it just come up with the latest folder always instead? Why is this not something that can be changed directly where the "Ask where to save files" option is in the settings? Is there a good place to tell Firefox developers who utterly useless and time-wasting and annoying that behavior is?

hello. i have a problem with times displayed by firefox on my linux box. for some reason firefox seems to think that i'm in or near reykjavik in iceland, and i can't find out why.

the following ONLY applies to firefox on my linux box, but not to other browsers on the same machine or to firefox on android: - when i connect to my home assistant server and go into my personal settings, under time zone it offers me to options: server time zone (europe/london) which is correct or "local" time zone (atlantic/reykjavik) which is WRONG. i'm in the london timezone, so why does firefox think i'm in iceland? - in youtube, firefox tells me that live streams and premieres start an hour earlier than they actually do. like today there is a live stream that starts at 12:35 but firefox tells me it starts at 11:35. no bueno! so why does firefox do this? what setting got screwed up, and how can i fix it?

like i said above, only firefox on my linux box does this, in other browsers and on other platforms it does not happen. that tells me it is a firefox issue.

I have an account on a website I visit near-daily. Despite having both cookies for this website persist and the password supposedly saved, the last three times I've visited the website I've been logged out and the password is nowhere to be found. Having to switch between my password manager and browser is annoying beyond description.

(That's actually not true. I have quite a few choice descriptors for this program, but have chosen to omit them)

When opening a new tab, can you set Firefox not to put the cursor into the address bar?

FYI I work all day on a relatively large screen, and I really do not want to set my eye focuses on the left top corner where address bar is shown. For this reason, I am using the tree style vertical tabs, and when I search, I use the center search box instead of address bar search.

All shortcuts I had for months below the search bar are gone from the home page of ff. Nothing suggested in the past I try ever fixed it. They just showed back up one day long ago. Until today I refreshed FF did not work. When I tried to browse it will not let me access the desktop to attach a photo this is only when using FF.Thankyou

Hey there, in the setting the Button "Ask me where to save downloaded files" is aktivated, but firefox still just saves files in my Download-Folder and does´nt ask me where so save it. I already cleaned firefox from all my add ons, but that didn´t help. Any ideas how to fix that?

I recently updated FF to 128.3.0 ESR and have found that FF no longer appends the suffix to the url I tupe in the url bar. For instance, to go to yahoo.com all I had to do was type yahoo in the url bar and hit enter and FF would automatically add the .com and navigate to the site. This function has ceased to work since the latest update. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

When I pull up a page and the width is wider than my screen I'm not getting the option to scroll left and right. Can still scroll up down. I'm assuming it's a setting but can't find anything that makes change Thank you, Dan

Hi everyone! Help me to solve the issue to get rid of these two folders in sidebar and drop-down menu. Is there any kind of tweaks css? I use Firefox 130.0 version. Look at the screenshot https://postimg.cc/vx5PCK0q

This link https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1389957 helped me but not for all cases.

Ever since the update to version 131 (64-bit), I have found that Firefox's autofill feature is malfunctioning. When I try to autofill credit card details, it displays the details of the one card I have stored, but does not paste them in.

If I start typing them in manually on a web page it shows me that it already knows them, but if I stop typing and click on the displayed autofill it immediately forgets any characters I haven't just typed in.

Suggestions would be much appreciated (I now have 131.0.2 but the problem has not gone away). Many thanks.

I have dealt with this tiny font problem before but did not retain the fix because I actually thought I had solved the problem once and for all.

BUT, I wake up this morning, having made no changes to this laptop overnight, only to discover that the fonts on my Firefox browser controls are tiny tiny tiny.

I expect Firefox/Mozilla to resolve this LONG-STANDING problem once and for all. I have made no changes to this browser in the last 24 hours. There were two MS updates that occurred overnight, but I doubt this affected the fonts on the Firefox application.

If there is a straightforward FF/Mozilla doc that addresses this problem (since it is recurring and well documented by others over the years), I would appreciate a link to this document. And if there is a known problem with certain MS updates I would appreciate knowing about this as well.

TIA

The Video Downloadhelper that I have in my computer is active when I open my Firefox browser. When I switch or open the YouTube tab, the icon becomes inactive and I cannot download any music from YouTube. What can I do and is there any solution for this?

Thanks in advance for your solution.

Firefox won't let me add credit card info. The "SAVE" button just set there and nothing happens. I'm on FreeBSD 14.1 and I'm using Firefox 131.0. It also would auto-fill the credit card info, but when I clicked on it. It went blank.

Running 132B3 the speaker icon besides the favicon to indicate playback in the tab is missing ever since updating to 132 first (see attached image). On 131 it was a speaker icon which you could use to mute/unmute tabs which showed up when audio or video was playing.

Compact density, title bar and menu bar is enabled along with Simple white by Moomin-theme and an added userChrome.css which can be seen here: https://pastebin.com/cLt2bSnR Along with a few changed preferences in about:config but those probably won't matter in this case?

Guess it's missing additional stuff in userChrome.css to get it working as before again? Or were the icons pulled from Firefox itself so the problem is accessing/referencing to them in the first place, hence why it's an empty circle now?

On Reddit a hover override from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1338919 was suggested but adding that didn't change the icons' behaviour unfortunately. Hovering over with the mouse cursor manually just fills out the circle with black.

Any help in the matter is appreciated, best regards!

Edit - Solved it with the help of another user, had to replace parts of the original .css with an override from another thread (https://support.mozilla.org/ml/questions/1338919 at the bottom). Looks a bit different now but that's fine.
