I'm using the AI chatbot in Firefox Developer Edition's sidebar and I was wondering if it's possible to set the web page from the active tab as the context by default for all future chats.

Is there a setting (checkbox) for this somewhere?

Hello Firefox Support Team,

I would like to report a browser compatibility issue regarding CSS positioning behavior that differs from Chromium-based browsers.

    • Issue Description:**

When an element with `position: sticky` is placed inside a container with `position: fixed`, Firefox treats the sticky element as if it has `position: relative`, effectively breaking the sticky positioning functionality.

    • Expected Behavior:**

The sticky element should maintain its sticky positioning behavior even when nested inside a fixed-positioned container, as it does in Chromium-based browsers.

    • Current Firefox Behavior:**

The sticky element loses its sticky properties and behaves like a relatively positioned element.

    • Use Case:**

This issue particularly affects modal implementations where: - The `body` element receives `position: fixed` to prevent background scrolling - Page elements (such as `.total-section`) should maintain their sticky behavior regardless of changes to the body positioning

    • Browser Comparison:**

- **Chromium browsers (Chrome):** Sticky positioning works correctly in this scenario - **Firefox:** Sticky positioning fails and falls back to relative behavior

    • Request:**

Could you please consider aligning Firefox's behavior with other major browsers? The current inconsistency creates cross-browser compatibility issues and forces developers to implement JavaScript workarounds.

Thanks!

After the 8/5/25 Firefox update the internet is inaccessible on my laptop through the standard Firefox browser. The internet is accessible with MS Edge. Toolbar is set to always show bookmarks but none appear. Also, the browser's application's menu does not open to access options such as restore previous session, recently closed tabs, etc. I've restarted my device several times without it resolving the issues with the standard browser.

The Firefox developer version opened in command prompt safe mode (firefox -safe-mode), which is how this inquiry is being sent, but no bookmarks on tool bar or current page history from the standard (non-developer) Firefox.

I'd like to return to accessing the internet using the standard Firefox version with its bookmarks, history, etc. I am using Windows 10. Thank you.

I am on Linux Mint 21.2, and I just updated Firefox (141.0). Now, the bookmarks bar, toolbar, and the tabs (everything above the displayed page), as well as the menu, bookmarks menu, and sidebar, are in light mode even though I have dark mode set (They were dark before the update). I tried playing with the Dark Mode settings to no avail. My system is set to dark mode in general. Are others experiencing this? Is there some sort of fix?

Since this week's update of Firefox Developer edition when the browser is restarted tabs do not load until I reset the browser.

I suspect an add-on but have not been able to determine which one.

This is happening on multiple (3) physical computers.

I just started a new work role and haven't been able to find the time to troubleshooting of the issue myself.

This has been very disrupting and stressful.

I'm trying to use Firefox to fill out my tax forms, but while I can save them and view them with Firefox, they're blank when I open them with Adobe or print them. This is, to say the least, NOT USEFUL. What is happening?!?? I'm using Win10 and the latest version of Firefox, and I tried it on an old Mac with the latest version of Firefox as well.

Sorry for my language.

The latest versions of Firefox 141 (and 142 beta 1) do not allow the Windows taskbar to appear when I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen. This happens on Windows 10 with the auto-hide taskbar setting enabled. In previous Firefox versions, this worked fine (except for one older version where it briefly broke). I’m not running Firefox in fullscreen mode, and I have no modifications or themes that could interfere. I tested this on a fresh, clean installation of Firefox — the issue still occurs. After downgrading to versions 140 and 139, everything works correctly again. Interestingly, I also tested the Firefox 141 Release Candidate Build 1 from here: 🔗 https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/141.0-candidates/ In that version, the issue only occurred in private browsing mode. Could someone please help me resolve this or confirm it as a bug? Thanks in advance!
