Bonjour, J'utilise le thème sombre avec Windows 11 depuis longtemps. Lorsque j'ai activé les thèmes contrastés (Aquatique, Crépuscule, Ciel nocturne et Desert ) avec Windows 11 26H2, Firefox 158 s'est retrouvé avec ma page d’accueil personnalisée désactivée. J'ai essayer de la reparamétrée mais impossible : la page reste juste avec le nom Firefox et le champ de recherche sans le bouton de personaliser. J'ai l’extension "Dark Reader" qui s'est aussi désactivé. Tout est revenu à la normale après désactivation des thèmes contrastés. Cordialement.

I try ti start up the VPN and it asks me to sign in. I sign in and then it sats to go to the VPN which has no other option except for me to sign in. This keeps happening

1. Most of my stored passwords in Fire Fox "Passwords" do not work anymore. They do not fill in user name and passwords. They are correctly listed in Passwords and the user names and passwords are correct and can be seen and copied. Also the function "Search in Settings" is not working. It cannot find anything, stuff that clearly exists produces no answers.# Numbered list item

I HAD MY SCREEN SET UP SO THAT I COULD COPE WITH MY VISUAL DISABILITY AND NOW I CAN'T USE IT. YOU HAVE SCREWED IT ALL UP AND I HAVE SPENT HOURS USING AI TRYING TO PUT IT BACK. I HAD DECLINED THE UPDATE, BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY WITH NO CONSIDERATION THAT SOME PEOPLE NEEDED IT THE WAY IT WAS!!!!!!! I WILL SUE YOU UNDER ADA IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME MY SCREEN BACK THE WAY I HAD IT. Details: I can't have left column bar; I need all my tools on the top bar like they used to be. You made the address bar so huge, I can't move things back on the top bar. You are using tiny symbols on the left bar that I can't even see to tell what they are; I need it in words, not tiny symbols. You took away the choices under the Google Search box so you can't choose to use AI or not. There's probably more, but that's all can think of at the moment. I'm so upset that my blood pressure is skyrocketing and I'll probably have a stroke. This is the second time since I've been a user that you have forced major changes on the users, whether they wanted them or not. I eventually got a usable screen after the prior changes, but it took me time I can't spare, and it was never perfect. Now what you're doing is even worse. Give us a way to go back to the old version so it doesn't destroy our lives like this is doing to mine. I will sue and move to a different browser if I have to.

Once again the latest firefox browser has issues so I rolled back the last stable version. It keeps prompting me to create a new profile. I want to use the previous profile that has all my setting and bookmarks. I got to about:profiles and selected the profile i want to make default and it will not add it to firefox. How can I do this?

I wish FF would test and step through their instructions first. The instructions for Ad Blocker: " Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker" It isn't as easy as they instruct: "How it works: Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter list to determine what gets blocked. There’s no separate extension to install, and you can turn it on." Search settings unable to find Ad Blocker. Yes, FF browser is up to date.! FF expends a lot of verbiage to promote a new feature yet so slim on step by step instructions.

This may be an old problem. In Linux, in bookmarks library, the scrollbar thumbs behave differently than in browser web pages. Even in new profile. This isn't a new issue for v157. Same behavior in any theme (any Fx themes, and / or diff 'Nix system themes).

I set scrollbars to disappear when not used or being hovered. On sites, when hover scrollbar area, they reappear. AND while pointer is over the track or thumb, it remains visible - does not reduce to an unusable width or disappear completely. As I think it should.

But in bookmarks library, the track & thumb disappear, even w/ pointer hovered, unless thumb is grabbed immediately. Even grabbing thumb & move it, then pause a fraction of second (still gripping thumb w/ L mouse button), the thumb & track STILL disappear. As long as you don't release grip (on now invisible thumb / track) they reappear when move pointer.

The bookmark library scrollbar behavior is also erratic. How long you have to grab it, when you 1st hover it. If you accidentally move pointer from folder pane, past vertical divider into bookmark pane, then left - back into folder pane, the scrollbar doesn't appear.

You have to move pointer well left of scrollbar, then approach it from the R, to make it reappear. It doesn't have any of this behavior in the browser (never has, AFAIK).

Mozilla "help" says there's a link at the bottom of the page for that, but I see no such link. Mozilla "support" says it's based on how one created the account; I apparently used "Mozilla Account". I am currently logged into Connect and have been searching the entire site literally hours, between yesterday and today, plus browsing account settings, and found NO WAY to reset my password. Seriously. I started at "Email Settings", which anyone would expect to have reset there, as eMail is half of the login data, but no. Nothing clearly visible on any page anywhere in the menu at the avatar.

Everything here keeps saying go to "Mozilla Support" for technical issues, but going to "Support", I see they only support "products", and the web site ecosystem, say Connect, Bugzilla, and Support, are apparently NOT PRODUCTS OF MOZILLA. They have no entry in the product combo box and I either have to lie about the product, or get no support. How is that supportive? Lol

Subject: Firefox ESR 153.5.0 — IndexedDB errors, multiple websites failing, MetaMask unable to start

Hello Mozilla Support, I'm experiencing serious problems with Firefox on my Mac and would appreciate help identifying the cause and finding a safe solution. I'm running Firefox ESR 153.5.0 (aarch64). Several unrelated websites have stopped functioning properly in my original Firefox profile: • Yahoo Mail: My inbox appears momentarily, then disappears and displays an error message. • Emory MyChart: The login page fails to load properly. • ChatGPT: The site doesn't fully load, including my conversation history. • MetaMask: My wallet extension fails to start, displaying an error indicating that an operation failed for reasons unrelated to the database itself. These websites work in Chrome. Troubleshooting completed: 1. Confirmed Firefox is up to date and JavaScript is enabled. 2. Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection and cleared Yahoo-specific cookies and site data, without success. 3. Created a separate Firefox TEST profile. The affected websites load successfully in that profile. 4. Examined the Browser Console in my original profile and found multiple IndexedDB errors reporting: UnknownError — Directory Lock Failed — ActorsParent.cpp:15521 5. Confirmed that these errors persist even when the TEST profile is closed. 6. Restarted Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode, with extensions temporarily disabled. Yahoo Mail continued to fail in exactly the same way. Possible relevance of the recent Firefox update I understand that Firefox ESR 153.5.0 was released recently and included changes relating to IndexedDB. Could these changes be related to the problems I'm experiencing, or could there be an existing storage issue affecting my original profile? My primary concern is MetaMask. I have made a backup copy of my original Firefox profile folder, but I want to avoid any repair procedure that might delete or compromise my wallet's locally stored information. Before attempting a Firefox Refresh, profile reset, extension reinstallation, or storage cleanup, I would appreciate guidance on: • What might cause these IndexedDB directory-lock failures? • Whether Firefox has a diagnostic or repair procedure that could address them without deleting extension data. • Whether this is a known issue with the recent ESR release.

Please know I'm comfortable following step-by-step instructions but am not technically experienced.

Thank you very much for your assistance. I will be most grateful.

In previous versions, this feature supported background operation; however, since the latest update, opening an article in Reeder immediately triggers the browser to launch. Could you please check this in Firefox and restore the previous, more convenient behavior? Having the browser pop up every single time leads to unnecessary switching between tabs.

Firefox 158's announcement page tells me that Firefox 158 has an Ad Blocker. Nice. I'd like to try it. The announcement page tells me to go to "Settings > Browsing". When I open "Settings", there is no "Browsing" option.

i have a question for the muzilla VPN . until when is it going to be free ? this is really a great option for us and i love it . very useful . but i scare from that needs us to pay money from a specific time . is there and news about this ?

I am wondering if there is a setting somewhere in Firefox to automatically close tabs after a certain length of time or after there are a certain number of tabs open. I did not close Firefox. I was working on a text document in TextEdit and when I returned to Firefox, all of my tabs were gone! How can I deisable that if there is such a setting? This is a very vexing problem. Please advise. Please forward this to a supervisor for a quick and complete response. The representative I chatted with earlier forwarded my inquiry to Apple Support for an expensive subscription, which I do not want. Thank you.

Each time I power up my laptop I want my page to go straight to my Yahoo Mail. It does do that but it also tries to open another page that errors out. I think its because there's a 'c in the address and the file can't be found. I don't know how that filename got written into the Start Up Program and I can't find it to remove it. Please tell me like a First Grader how to remove this error message.

It says it cannot open the page.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

At random times when opening the browser, all my tabs (except the first one) turn into about:blank. Relaunching the browser does not resolve the problem, and there is nothing in the history that allows me to restore them. It is extremely frustrating, as this is the third time I have lost all my tabs.
