Firefox Community Forum

I would like for the link to open in a new tab AND stay focused on the previous tab with search bar firefox suggestions still open. Even if I hold SHIFT to not lose focus on current tab it CLOSES the search bar suggestions! I then have to type in what I was searching for again. I would like to quickly open every link via a certain keyword in search.

"When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" in Settings > General > Tabs is NOT selected. And even if that helped it would still close the search bar after middle mouse clicking a link.

Firefox has taken to sending pop-ups of breaking news, which I then have to clear manually (Win 10) How can I stop this.

I have looked in settings, but can't find an off switch for this "new" toy. At least the Thunderbird notifications disappear after a few seconds! These just pile up till they block the entire right hand side of my screen - and then they keep going, and block other more important notifications in the main notifications bit.

Firefox can't connect to www.123greetings.com but Chrome can.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.123greetings.com.

When I use Firefox it removes shortcuts from my home screen (starting from the right) and replaces them with sites that I visit, even if I visit them only once.

I have been to settings, Recent Activity is turned off, Rows are set to 2, and the only other option is Shortcuts > Sites you save or visit.

I don't want Firefox to automatically add visited sites to my shortcuts and remove my saved sites.

when I try to download a an extension foe example uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill I get the error

Download failed. Please check your connection.

I tried to instll the trend extension and I got the same error

I've added pinned shortcuts to my homepage before, but am not able to do so now. I read the instructions, but am not seeing the three dot icon for the menu on my address bar. I have bookmarked the site and it is showing in bookmarks.

What am I doing wrong?

Lately, every time I install one of your updates, you forget my preferred search engine, and I don't have my shortcuts til I re-start the computer. This never used to be an issue - PLEASE FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shouldn't have to waste my time re-doing this every time, and I don't like Ya as the default search you seem to be assigning.  :(

Why does this happen? I was even logged in, and my tab groups are gone. Why??? Do I need to use a different browser? And Firefox has had trouble with some websites where the paying portion is not correct. However, if I go to a different browser (Chrome), the paying portion works correctly. I'm getting kinda tired of these weird things going on. Please don't offer a feature that doesn't work like grouping tabs.

Today: Can't access website. I think it is the ISP or the router. Reset the router. No luck. Tried a different device on the Wifi. Works fine. Tried a different browser. works fine. Shut down Firefox. I had 2 browser instances open with several windows in each. Could not restart firefox, as it did not close correctly. I closed the broken instance(s). opened FF again, only got one set of windows, not both sets. The other instance had a bunch of grouped windows, and the groups seem to be gone. I can recreate most of those, but had some windows with ongoing work and things I wanted to look at and now they are gone.

FF crashed when I tried to get some answer from ediblearrangements.com help.

I keep telling Firefox that I do NOT (that's NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!) want autoplay of either audio or video. Why do certain websites keep autoplaying audio? I DO NOT WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please try to comprehend that I do ***NOT*** want to listen to that website's audio!!!

bold text I receive news notifications from mozilla firefox as popups; the dismiss option no longer works so they stay there blocking access to other areas. How do i fix?

I am trying to install Keeper Password Manager and use Yubikey login. Setting up the Yubikeys with Firefox does not work. I used Chrome to create the Yubikey login and they work with Chrome. I never normally use Chrome, only Firefox. When I try to login to Keeper on Firefox I get an error message instead of the login.

After updated to Firefox 140.0.4 (20250707120347), all site do not load for me, general sites, like youtube/google. There's nothing wrong with my Wifi/Internet Connection, even Microsoft Edge can load the websites.

If I need to upload a file I click on the OPEN or BROWSE button in the website, Open File dialogue opens trying to list the location it is already looking at, and it hangs for over 30 seconds before listing files. This is windows 11, but it did it when i had windows 10 too. I dont know what to do.

How can I download an older version of Firefox ? Version 140.0.4 is full of issues , i.e. slow loading pages that were faster in the old version , shrunk images on some sites , log in problems on others.
