Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

Recently I have a problem with toolbar and in the Firefox browser. Usually I have 3 display (display from laptop and two monitors). When I use Firefox browser on the main display the toolbar very often is not working correctly.

Mainly the problem is with the folders inside the toolbar, so when I hover any folder, the bookmarks saved in that folder don't appear or appear for just one/two sec, then they disappear.

The second problem is when I have the firefox open on the second display (or on the laptop display) and I moved any tab (only the tab, not entire Firefox application), then my toolbar shows only the first bookmark that is saved on my list.

In attachments I added two ss (one is with my normal view on toolbar, and the second one is with the only first bookmark)

the top bar in the browser is so small it is hard to read and i find it difficult to access the icons. increasing the value of "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" increased the browser text but did not affect the top bar. Is their another approach or is their a magnifier the will work. Thanks.

I am attempting to use Firefox's new built-in VPN to hide my browsing and use sites that are restricted like Reddit on a common wifi while I am on breaks. It worked on these common wifi systems for a little bit, but last week I believe, it just stopped working one day. Now, when I turn on the VPN, the only thing Firefox will do is display the following error: ~~~~~ Unable to find the proxy server

Firefox can’t connect to the server at [insert url here] What can you do about it?

Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi. ~~~~~ I was originally running Firefox 149 via snap on Ubuntu, but I just uninstalled the snap package and switched to 150.0.1 via the Mozilla APT repository and I am getting identical behavior. Is this just a bug, or is it possible the administrator here has explicitly blocked Firefox VPN? Is there anything else I can do about it, since connecting on a different device doesn't help me, I can't check the modem or router, and disconnecting and reconnecting does nothing?

Anyway to fix the issue?

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING THESE DAYS?

Please remove and do not add any AI/ML features to Firefox, it's the only mainstream browser of this kind left, i was planning on buying some merch but I don't think this company deserves my money if it tries to make cash off me in an insidious way either way

Firefox 150.0.1 Ubuntu 22.04

Problem: When downloading a file from a web page, the list of files and folders in the Download Panel are sorted such that file names and folder names are intermingled, rather than the "standard" folders first, then files.

Discussion: This problem has been happening for a bit now (probably 2 - 3 months or more). Unfortunately, I don't recall exactly which version of Firefox this originally showed up in. At some point recently, the default sort for the Download Panel changed, so that instead of listing folders at the top of the list of download targets, then listing files, now all items are interspersed. For example, previously selecting to download a file from a web page would give the Download Panel contents as:

AFolder BFolder CFolder AFile.txt BFile.pdf CFile.jpg

Now, the list presents as:

AFile.txt AFolder BFile.pdf BFolder CFile.jpb CFolder

I would like to go back to the previous sorting behavior, but I cannot find a way to do this. I have searched the Mozilla help articles without turning up relevant information, and I have searched the internet for web sites that might list relevant information, but either the information I am seeking is not out there (unlikely) or I am not coming up with search terms that locate the information (much more likely).

I am not even 100% sure that this is a Firefox problem (it is within the bounds of possibility that it is an OS problem), but none of my other regularly used programs show the symptom, so it would seem odd to me for it to be something other than a Firefox problem.

I would appreciate any pointers (web pages, help articles, or even just "change this in about:config) on how to resolve this.

When viewing a PDF in Firefox the URL bar indicates the file was downloaded to a temporary folder. If I then select "Save" from the PDF toolbar; or if I right click and select "Save page as" it opens a save dialog to the location I previously saved the same category of PDF to. For example I have separate folders for invoices, if the PDF is my electricity invoice it somehow knows and opens the electricity folder. If it is a water invoice, it automatically opens the water folder.

Whilst this is indeed quite handy, I do not understand how Firefox is doing this; nor do I understand whether this may be a privacy risk in some circumstances and should therefore be configurable.

When a site asks for my address, I try to choose one from the drop-down menu of addresses offered, but it firstly prints my address in the address window and then, when I press enter or do anything whatever, it deletes everything in the address window. Worse than that, if I try to ignore the dropdown list offered, and try to type in my own address, it deletes it.

This behaviour continues, no matter what I try to do do trick it into either (a) filling in my address, or (b) using the offered addresses in the drop-down menu. I.e. there is nothing I can do to ever get an address to stay in the address window and give me a fully filled out form - the address window always ends up empty.

I've tried to alter the settings, telling it to ignore the automatic filling in and remembering of addresses, but I can't turn this address-killer feature off.

Yes, it's made filling in forms on line impossible, since it keeps making the address-window empty

The quick links on the home page should be exactly for that QUICK LINKS! not for visited sites! also you only have four rows. OPERA have unlimited. To make matters worse, the stupid sites that I visited only once cannot be removed.

Able to sign in to Mozilla account, but cannot find Sync anywhere. Sync is OK on multiple other devices. System also seems unable to load 140.10 esr. Is it possible to sync on esr versions?

I am using Linux Mint, firefox and "Reiner SCT" hardware to sign in to german government sites using my identity card. All worked fin until firefox update from 149.0.2 to 150.0. Now I always get the error message "internal_error". I know, this message does not help much, but that is all I have. Is there anything I can try to get firefox 150.0 running or shoud I try to deinstall firefox 150.0 an install firefox 149.0.2 again? Thanks very much in advance!
