Using my Outlook a/c in Firefox I have a problem with the slider bar RH side. It is far too thin in width for the mouse pointer to lock onto to slide it up/down. This is NOT the case in Goggle Chrome or MS Edge where it is much wider EVERYTIME & works well. Another example of buggy Firefox, NOT so with Chrome/Edge as 5 IT Depts have told me not to use Firefox for bug reasons. Anyone know how to fix this myself or how to contact Firefox to tell them to fix it.

Changed behavior of autofill is a small thing. A few weeks ago, I could enter the first few letters of a site and then down arrow to choose one from the list. Down arrow no longer works here.

A significantly bigger issue allowing a website to open a window or tab or popup. There used to be two buttons when this happens, allow and always allow. Always allow is no longer a choice. I have to click allow every single time I go to that web site. Since two of those sites are the enrollment and learning management systems where I work, I'm doing that 20 times a day. If disappearing the always allow button was a design decision, it was a bad one.

I set up a primary password, then closed out of everything to make sure it worked. When I reopened the browser, everything was still logged in. I was prompted to enter the primary password, but bypassed it by x-ing out.

How can I stop everything from staying logged in? I want the passwords saved, but not everyone on the computer to be able to use them without some sort of log-in (in the browser, due to how software is set up we all use the same user account on the computer).

Hi there,

I recently received notice of being a part of the one billionth data breach and I am officially sick of it. I love and use firefox and beta, but I know my privacy is not that protected. I was looking through reviews and found Waterfox which is supposed to be built on the firefox platform, but has better privacy protections. I downloaded it and all seemed right. I imported from Firefox. Then I tried to download it to my iphone and the only thing that came up was "Water Fox". I downloaded it and couldn't even get through opening it without crazy ads and it looking like some game app. It wanted my saved data from firefox to import. But, no way. Either this was pretending to be WaterFox and a scam, or WaterFox IS a scam. So, I'm hoping maybe someone here would know and would also know if I just made a huge mistake by installing this. If it were just an app pretending to be WaterFox, why wasn't there an actual waterfox app? That was the only one even close. And, the reviews said that WaterFox was students working with Firefox or something like that, but couldn't find anything about them in Firefox forums. Any info would be greatly appreciated. And, if I did just make a huge mistake, is there a way to fix it? I didn't sign in with the squirrely iphone app, but I did with the desktop. Eeeep.

Firefox blocks a web site citing out of date reference. I go to certificate manager to overide, but am told firefox determines site to be legitimate and therefore will not overide. I am totally frustrated and confused!

My laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad220s) did an automatic Windows 11 update (I believe it was the 2H24 update). After that Firefox (version 133, 64 bit) would only open with the message "Gah. Your tab just crashed". Nothing I tried has worked, not any of the remedies found in support pages. I somehow did a Firefox software update and it shows as a separate icon and has not migrated any of the passwords and bookmarks I had in the software version that keeps crashing (my default browser). Trying to get access to the encrypted passwords to the many sites I've got with Firefox I opened the browser in troubleshooting mode. In this mode I have access to all the passwords saved over time, and the browser seems to work fine.

Any suggestions on what I need to fix or if this is related to the Windows update? I'd like not to have to go through the two-step process to use the browser.

Thanks!

Currently the the firefox nightly study, Carrot Potential Exposures (Nightly Test), has no description. (It says to be determined) I was wondering what this study does becouse I cant seem to find information on it. I think it was added in the last nightly update but maybe not; i may just have not noticed it.

keep getting blocked on websites that used to work.

There is an Ad Blocker AVG that I can not get rid of. Frank

Does the Relay extension only work on Firefox or can it be added to other browsers? It seems like a useful tool, but I don't want to be locked into a single browser.

I'm not sure I have the right topic as I didn't see what I will try to say. The problem is when I send an email (googlemail), I cannot insert a photo/picture in the email. The only thing I can do is attach which I do but want it inserted too. This only started happening about 2 weeks ago. It is now to the point where I have to use another browser to get it to work as it should. Any ideas why?

Just recently, the Bookmarks sidebar quit appearing automatically when I opened Firefox. In each new window, it can be selected manually.

I posted this thread under "Privacy and Security" because other threads on the Internet (some quite old) say this issue can be fixed by changing the Browsing history settings. I tried that, but got a strange result: the Bookmarks sidebar did appear automatically, but the webpage I was on would not display any images embedded in the page. And then I wondered: why must I eliminate Browsing History just to automatically display my bookmarks?

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

I can not get Youtube to load on desktop Firefox. It works fine on the mobile website, app, and Chrome. I've tried clearing cookies and site data, removing extensions, resetting Firefox, and disabling hardware acceleration, and so far nothing has worked. Has this been happening to anyone else ?

I realize much of the issue with organizing bookmarks has to do with this ASSUS laptop. However in the past I used what MS provided when using a desktop, which was easier.

I could use a mouse, but maybe there is a good add-on to keep from dropping bookmarks into some unknown folder. This means I have to look for it in other folders. I did use a Dell laptop previously, but Dell has become very difficult to reach in the USA if not a corporate stateside entity.

I'm afraid I cannot continue using Firefox, after the last change, since I can no longer keep my tabs open after closing a session, as I specified in the settings: "Open previous windows and tabs." Can someone help?

When I open Firefox it opens a maximized window with tabs, then it opens a minimized with a single tab, then it reopens a maximized window with all session tabs. Each window displays in succession, one window at a time.

I'm on desktop using Windows 11.

I just read a post saying this behavior was caused by the resist fingerprinting feature. Can someone explain how that causes the repeated opening of browser window 3 times. Is there a way to retain the anti-fingerprinting behavior w/o the multiple window opening behavior?

For some months now when I click on a video that is on a news website, such as The Guardian or The BBC for example, the video screen goes black and nothing happens. Any suggestions?
