My Home page is a local HTML file featuring a CSS-based tabbed notebook holding links organized into various categories. When exiting FF, I always have this page as the active browser tab, so that on start-up it's still the active one in the event of multiple open browser tabs.

Until v151.0.4 (and still now with v152.0), if I exited FF with the active notebook tab (actually a styled radio button under the hood) in my CSS tabbed notebook something other than the first/leftmost tab, FF would restart with that being the active tab, but after a few seconds of CPU activity as the browser initialized the active notebook tab would switch to the first/leftmost one. (In my HTML I also have <input type="radio" name="tabs" checked> specified for this first/leftmost instance.)

Since the update, however, it remains stuck on the one from the last browser session as first displayed. I suppose I can live with this, but I do wonder what accounts for the change in behavior. If it's by design, where is it documented? If not ... maybe it calls for a bug report.

Today I got the Firefox message "Secure Connection Failed" when I composed and tried to send Yahoo email to a friend who I have corresponded with for several years. In addition, a few months ago I could not connect on a Televisit with my doctor when I clicked the link her office sent. Again I got the Firefox message "Secure Connection Failed."

I am a subscriber to Mozilla Relay that includes the "Phone Mask". I believe I correctly configured everything ages ago, but am feeling VERY FRUSTRATED whereby I am trying to purchase tickets for a local event and the SMS code (that expires in 15 seconds) sent to my mozilla phone mask is NOT getting to my iPhone. Isn't there an end-to-end test you all have to track down misconfigurations or other issues?

HOW DO WE NOW " SET CURRENT TABS ON OPENING BROWSER "

YOU ELIMINATED THAT SETTING THE MOST IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ELIMINATED THAT SETTING THE MOST IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!

when i first logged into my firefox account from my new pc it worked but it didnt have any data like cookies bookmarks passwords i thought i might have logged into a account i dont use but when logged into a alt email i have those didnt have any data either so i deleted the alt account i accidentally opened i logged back into my normal account and shut down my computer since i wanted to leave it for another day

i remembered that i had my firefox account opened on my laptop so i decided to give it another shot turns out i was right the first time with the first email it just didnt sync well when i opened my new computer i saw that i was logged out of my account i tried to sign back in but it kept popping up with the same error every time "unexpected error" since then ive tried countless ways to log back in but it just doesnt seem to work any help would be appreciated

thank you Fis

Can the quantity of tabs ever get so large that finally one more tab wont open? What are the max count of tabs recommended, and when should they be removed to start over?

The new Firefox built-in VPN, rolled out to Australia this week, is not redirecting to the chosen country location.

Despite selecting either US or UK in the country list, websites are still identifying me as located in Australia.

For example, despite VPN being on and US selected, cunard.com still redirects me to my home location of Australia (see https://www.cunard.com/en-au in address bar). Screenshot attached. Other websites similar.

The master password should either pop up right away, or not pop up at all until sensitive information will be accessed. It sometimes pops up on a delay, which is annoying, as I may already be typing something into the URL bar only to find that the second half of what I typed is now into the master password entry.

During this time of delay, I am apparently still able to access web browser functionality. This creates inconsistent protection and makes me question what the master password is protecting. I thought I would only have to enter it before autofill, but entering it at startup implies it protects the entire functionality of the web browser, not just passwords.

But, if it protects the entire functionality of the web browser, then why does it pop up after a delay, which is sometimes long enough for me to have already started to use the browser, meaning that, if my operating system account is shared but my browser is private, someone already could've made a social media post in my name in the time before they are required to enter the master password, if they are fast enough.

Really think about your intention and please establish or make clear your philosophy with this confusing and annoying design choice. Is there a way to either stop the delay, or to make it only pop up when accessing autofill functionality, or to make the browser entirely inaccessible until the pop-up grabs focus?

I HAD TO REINSTALL MY WINDOWS 10. NOW FIREFOX IS TAKING A LONG TIME, IF AT ALL, TO LOAD LINKS FROM MY EMAIL. FIREFOX IS SET AS THE DEFAULT BROWSER. THERE ARE NO ADD-ONS THAT WOULD BLOCK LINKS

Why isn't there a setting to open closed tabs from the history menu in a new tab, rather than overwriting the current tab? This is incredibly frustrating as I just lost a lot of progress on a page that doesn't autosave when I tried to open a tab I had closed a day earlier with information I needed. Is there anyway to do this with config files or something?

how do i now set current tabs

Your new system doesn't allow us to SET CURRENT TABS ON OPENING BROWSER

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SETTING, BY FAR !!!!

Hi,

I’m experiencing the following issue:

When I open Password Manager (about:logins), the page is completely blank.

This problem started about three months ago, after I updated Firefox to a newer version.

Currently, on the about:logins page, I can export all my accounts and passwords as a CSV file (so the data clearly exists), but nothing is displayed on the page itself.

I also tried importing the same CSV file (exported from about:logins) back into Firefox. After importing, all accounts and passwords appear in the left panel. However, when I click on any item, the right panel is still blank. If I close the page and open about:logins again, the items still do not load.

My current Firefox version is 147.0.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks!

On Chrome, if you have multiple profiles open on a Windows 11 PC, they each show up on the taskbar as separate things with the Chrome logo. Meanwhile, with Firefox, separate profiles open windows on the same taskbar icon and simply switch the profile icon. The picture gives an example of what I mean. I've censored some stuff on it, but know that the stuff in white is in one profile while the other has the stuff in black. The gray is unrelated stuff. Claude says Chrome does this by giving each profile a separate AppUserModelID, whatever that is. Is it possible to do the same in Firefox?

Firefox 152.0, latest Windows 11 25H2 update on HP TP01-1036. I have tried just about all the AI fix suggestions but nothing works to fix the following problem:

When viewing the Yahoo.com News page, I scroll vertically down to see each article...one after the other. When I come to an article I want to read, I left click it. The article opens within the present tab and is closed by clicking the red "X " at the upper right hand corner of the article; which in turn, returns me to were I was before opening the article. However, eventually, after a few articles are read, when closing an article, the cursor will jump back to the page's first article instead of bringing me back to where I left off on vertical arrangement of the news articles'? This has been happening for around the last one to two weeks. Nothing else seems to be out of wack.

Hello, I noticed that when browsing webpages in Firefox, a window periodically appears asking me to confirm a certificate, presumably from a website (roughly called lt3.google). I haven't downloaded anything malicious and I regularly scan my system with an antivirus. Please help and respond. Thanks in advance.

I just updated Firefox to version 152. Now my bookmarks toolbar is broken. Can't open any site from that toolbar. Also,, the pinned sites and folders are scrambled one over the other on the left (see picture).

I need 2 logins for a website Login 1 : For www.example.org/ with user@some.url and Password1 Login 2 : For www.example.org/otherdir/ with otheruser@other.url and Password2

Now Firefox 140 keeps deleting the subdirectory /otherdir/ when storing the Login2 and merges the logins with whatever was given second. Login 2 is not possible. Login 1 gets corrupted.

This is a bug.
