Hello - I made a mistake and unthinkingly changed the default app to open in response to my clicks on mailto links in Firefox. I've tried to change it back to Outlook. I've managed to include Outlook in the list of apps which come up when I click a mailto link, and ticked it as the default, but the message "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled" comes up as an Outlook window. How can I get it to open a new message in Outlook with the email address in the 'To' line, as it was before?

Hi All,

Few months ago I switched to an AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3D and since then I've been having rendering issues in firefox just as you can see in the attached image. Disabling hardware GPU acceleration seems to mitigate the issue however this is just a workaround. Modern browsers should work just fine with HW acceleration. The issue does not happen with Chrome or MS Edge so this is clearly something Firefox specific.

Is there a fix for it?

How to change main domain is not automatically shown in the search of Firefox browser but the desired URL?

I have always typed "https://www.youtube.com/feed/you" in the URL bar both in firefox desktop and mobile and other Gecko-based browsers such as Zen, Floorp, Midori, Iceraven, Waterfox, Librewolf but dont know why it always shows up "https://www.youtube.com" as soon as I type "y".

I have not seen same behaviour in Chrome or Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, as Chrome knows if I have visited "youtube domain" several times but not through "https://www.youtube.com/" but through "https://www.youtube.com/feed/you", then it shows me the latter, thus helps me in avoiding my few seconds of this bug or inconsistency.

Not limited to "https://www.youtube.com/" but to every other site such as Google.com or social media like Instagram, where I don't visit the homepage but my saved bookmarks page.

Can anybody clarify on this, if this is a bug or a gifted feature by Firefox devs?

And can we change this as this causes issues esp., for working people (I have recently shifted my Chrome data to a new Firefox profile so this is causing issues in working after MV3 drama) who visited direct URL not the one given or promoted or shown by browser. I dont like this and want to change it as it doesn't help me in anyways.

The most unfortunate thing is that we cannot cancel or reject or cut it out like Chrome does with "X" in the URL bar when it detects something which we dont know it to proceed with but Firefox, nah.

The biggest benefit is that it saves your time, helps you focus and avoid you waste your time, if the site has too many things to distract you from actual work. Like YouTube has great courses and podcast interviews and I have saved them and want to direct go there (https://www.youtube.com/feed/you), then I am saved from going to main page which has unwanted videos that will only take my time, losing my productivity. Is Firefox not concerned about our productivity, is Chrome only cares?

Do check 3 screenshots attached for better understanding, the 3rd one is from chrome.

I have a few hours ago upgraded my Linux PC from Kubuntu 24.04 to 24.10, with it, it reinstalled firefox as a snap package. I have removed the snap and reinstalled it back as a native package.

Currently I see the font used in Tab Titles, Bookmarks and in the "Burger" menu is quite squished horizontally, as if it is using a Mono font.

I have tried changing fonts in the settings of Firefox, turning off HW Acceleration and changing font in my Plasma Settings and nothing worked.

Can you please help me? Clarification: The screenshots are weird since I didn't want to show private information.

I keep a lot of pinned tabs, and one of those is my gmail account. After I delete cookies, I go to that tab to sign back in, and it opens another tab, causing me to have to pin and move the second tab and then delete the original tab.

Sometimes I'm taken back to login even after I've just left gmail for checking messages. Sometimes I can click and hold the back button and reopen it on an already sign-in instance of gmail, but not when I clear cookies.

This doesn't happen for any other site, just gmail. How do I fix this, or is there no fix?

Hello,

can you explain me what is storage/archives folder for and when it is created? I observe major performance hit on Firefox startup when this folder exists, even if it is very small. The folder contains folder 0 in which another folders with dates are created. Those folders contain content similar to storage/default folder. The only solution for the performance problem is to delete the folder manually. Is there a possibility to convince firefox not to create the folder?

Thanks

For the past couple years, whenever I use the copy image feature the pasted outcome is always minimally brightened just enough that it's noticeable. Copying and pasting of the outcome brightens it again, and if I keep going the resulting image will be one big white square. This isn't the end of the world, more of an inconvenience as all I've had to do is switch to taking a screenshot of the image instead, but I do miss being able to just properly copy the image. The brightened effect is present no matter where I paste it, whether on another website or on a completely separate app, and other browsers I've tried on the same Mac don't have this problem. Is there a way for me to fix this? I already followed the support instructions for a different yet somewhat related pasting problem where I set gfx.color_management.mode to 0, and that had no effect. Is there anything else?

This issue is new and I have never experienced it before. Upon trying to open anything in a new tab, firefox gets completely stuck loading the site, and when refreshed, does the tab becomes "dead" and nothing can be entered or clicked on, even after minutes. I know it is not my internet connection, as other browsers such as opera and edge work, as well as my ability to download games from steam, and firefox is also up to date as shown by the settings page, but firefox does not allow anything to be opened or viewed other than the settings page, which I used to navigate to the support page. I could not even use "continue with google" as a method of signing in and needed to manually enter everything.
