I always use C Cleaner to clear unneeded my unneeded data once a month. It does not usually affect my Firefox shortcuts on the Firefox homepage. It was also after Firefox had updated to version 158.0 . I did this on Wednesday (14th October) and all of my pinned Firefox shortcuts have gone missing. They have not come back, and no other shortcuts are being shown after I have since visited any websites. What has happened to them? Will this be corrected? Regards John

Hello Mozilla Support,

I'm experiencing an issue with how Firefox displays date and time input fields on websites when using Hebrew (Israel).

• • Environment:**

- Firefox version: 158.0 (64-bit) - Operating system: Windows - Browser interface language: Hebrew - Regional locale: he-IL

• • The problem:**

Date fields are displayed in the format YYYY.MM.DD (for example, 2026.10.14) instead of DD/MM/YYYY (14/10/2026).

Time fields also sometimes display their components in an incorrect order, apparently due to right-to-left (RTL) handling.

This issue occurs across multiple websites, including the standard HTML date input example on MDN, so it is not specific to any particular website.

• • Troubleshooting already performed:**

1. Verified Windows regional settings: Hebrew (Israel), short date format dd/MM/yyyy, and time format HH:mm. 2. Verified Firefox regional preferences show he-IL. 3. Tested intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales with both true and false. 4. Tested intl.locale.requested with he,en-US, he-IL,en-US, and he-IL. 5. Changed the preferred website language order to prioritize he-IL. 6. Restarted Firefox after making changes.

Unfortunately, the date issue persists, and the time field display is also inconsistent.

• • Expected behavior:**

Date fields should display DD/MM/YYYY, and time fields should display HH:mm in the correct visual order, while keeping the Firefox interface in Hebrew.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known Firefox bug and whether there is a supported workaround or a planned fix?

Thank you.

I tried to activate the in-built VPN, so I clicked "Get Started", signed in with the Mozilla Account I have, and the VPN pop-up showed up again, but unlike in the support page's tutorial, I was met with the "Get Started" option again. Maybe this error exists because I didn't create an account from scratch then and there? (in the tutorial, account creation was a step).

PS: Why the Linux switch in the attached image? Pewdiepie... I never got to it though...

Automatic translation of YouTube subtitles often stops working in Firefox (especially after ads). Refreshing the page does not fix it, whereas in Chromium-based browsers it works fine. Please look into this issue.

How do I recover the normal additional toolbar in firefox that shows options for maps, images, videos etc. This toolbar is no longer shown on firefox - perhaps it's because firefox has recently been updated and no longer gives that facility?

I use Firefox on Windows to manage Meta Business Suite for my business, Goff Housing Solutions. Facebook, Meta Business Suite and Ads Manager all open normally in Firefox.

The problem occurs when I open the protected Meta Business Portfolio Settings. Meta requires my existing passkey for accounts.meta.com. After I click Continue, Firefox invokes Windows Security, but the only authentication method presented is:

“Security key — Insert your security key into the USB port.”

I have never owned or configured a physical USB security key.

I confirmed that the correct accounts.meta.com passkeys are stored in Apple Passwords on my iPhone. The iPhone can access Meta Business Suite and the protected Business Portfolio Settings normally.

As a control test, I opened the same Meta/Facebook account and the same Goff Housing Solutions Business Portfolio on this same Windows computer using Google Chrome. Chrome opens the protected Business Portfolio Settings successfully.

Therefore, my Meta account, Business Portfolio, permissions, 2FA and existing passkey appear to be working. The problem seems specific to Firefox/Windows passkey handling: Firefox/Windows is treating the authentication request as requiring a physical USB security key rather than offering the existing passkey on my nearby iPhone (for example via QR code/phone authentication).

How can I make Firefox on Windows use my existing accounts.meta.com passkey from my iPhone instead of requesting a physical USB security key?

I do not want to delete/recreate my Meta passkeys, disable 2FA, reset my Meta account, or create a new Business Portfolio because all of those are currently working.

I have changed email providers from Big Pond to Gmail. Unfortunately, I did not change it over prior to that happening. Now I cannot login to my Firefox. My new email address is: [redacted] @gmail.com [redacted phone#] If you require further information to verify my identity, please feel free to contact me. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! John Corey

If i go to the vpn and click get started it shows me my gmail so i click continue so it says on the web page Signed in successfully! and i get a notification and the vpn opens up and it loads for a second and then says get strated again i tried this multiple times but it is the same every time.

Bonjour, j'ai perdu beaucoup de temps aujourd'hui car mes onglets ont disparu sans savoir pourquoi. Je les ai tous recréé mais en fermant Firefox, les onglets ont de nouveau disparu. Qu'est ce qui se passe? c'est très irritant. L'option de conserver les onglets est activée, mais il semble que votre browser est complétement instable en ce moment. Pouvez vous m'orienter rapidement vers une solution? c'est vraiment pénible comme problème

Hey, for some reason after I click "Get Started." in the VPN tab and sign in, I see the "Next Step: Turn on VPN." I only get put back at the start and have to do the whole process again and again leading me to nowhere. I understand the feature is Beta just want to bring this your attention that's all!

Running 158.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11. Running RTX4070 card and when I watch videos in the main browser window I see very little GPU usage. Computer is a dual CPU Dell 7920 Specs at the bottom.

When switching to another tab, and the video pops out into it's own window I notice an increase in GPU usage. Streaming YouTubeTV, no issues with bandwidth to the machine.

The main display is running at 4k. Also the popped out window is maybe 1/4 the size of the full browser size when it's not popped out so I can't understand why a smaller video use more GPU.

In addition I see Firefox sometimes 'glitching' the popped up window's video. It also seems that when watching video in FF it can glitch other sources that also may be active but this may be just anecdotal, need more investigation.
