Firefox Support Forum

With recent releases, I've started noticing that Firefox UI freezes seemingly randomly. When it does, the UI doesn't respond to interactions, and there's no visible change in the UI, either - for example, if I switch to a different tab after the UI froze, there's no visual sign of switch happening. However, if I were to alt-tab to another window, then then UI looks as if it had responded behind the scenes. I.e., the tab switch were somehow kept pending until at the point of alt-tab.

I've had this happened on two different machines, both running the latest version (106.0.1), but this was observed even with 105, I think.

FWIW, I'm on Linux; I've tried both with and without hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, I don't have consistent/sure reproducer; not have I observed any particular pattern of interaction that'd lead to this.

I was going to file a bug, but thought posting here before I do that.

Sometimes the browser comes up with "Access Denied You don't have permission to access www.kroger.com" is the latest example. Once that message comes up nothing I do will get me to the website I want. I have to switch over to Microsoft Edge to continue my browsing.

I want my browser window to look like all my other windows. Why did you force these stupid themes on users? Why do developers always want to to tell/force others how they should use their computer?

COLOR CHANGES SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OPTION, not a mandatory change. Realize YOU do not know how EVERYONE else wants to use their computer or have it look. Like, oh say, STANDARD WINDOWS formatting LIKE ALL MY OTHER WINDOWS. I LIKE IT THAT WAY. I don't care if you think that's boring, its not YOU using the computer.

SO - looking through all the searches MANY ARE REALLY UPSET, and there isn't an answer. SO What is the fix to get rid of the stupid themes? And don;t say "Oh, well maybe you will like nnnnn theme!" I KNOW what theme i want - I want it to match ALL MY OTHER WINDOWS. REALLY simple, yet your developers couldn't figure that out?

Or is only fix finally just switching to using chrome? Is that what you are trying to do?

FIX THIS.

I have Firefox 106.0.1 SNAP install on Ubuntu Mate 22.04. The default language is Spanish, I added English and Italian dictionaries. When I write I'd like to choose among the three languages for automatic correction, but Firefox only shows Italian and English. Why? How can i fix it?

I've got Mozilla VPN on my macbook, but firefox shows DNS leaks when tested using https://mullvad.net/en/check/

Fixes already attempted: - DNS over HTTPS set custom provider to https://doh.mullvad.net/dns-query (from https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/) - still leaking - using custom provider in about:config set network.trr.mode to 3 - no sites load - using custom provider set network.trr.mode back to 2 and set media.peer.connection.enabled to false - still leaking

Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm migrating to a new PC and followed the below article to open all my currently synced tabs from the old machine on my new one: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1357426

The issue is that the on the new machine when I open all synced tabs, the order is reversed, i.e. my latest tabs that are on the right on the old machine are now on the left in my new machine. How do I tell open all tabs to keep the same order in the new machine? Any help is greatly appreciated..!

Thanks! manoja

I am having issues with our Storyline published e-learning courses. I always test in Chrome and Firefox. We just had a Q3 release on October 3, so my testing was prior to October 3. All course completion reporting worked as it should in both Chrome and Firefox.

I have now started a new round of testing for a new course and my course completion reporting is reporting correctly in Chrome, but is not reporting correctly in Firefox. When I launch a course in Litmos in the Firefox browser and then exit the course before it is completed, the course is being marked as completed. When I launch the course again it does not pick up where it left off, the course starts over. I am wanting to convert back to an older version of Firefox to see if this resolves my issue, but I am not able to figure out how to do this.

Will you please tell me if this is a possibility or if there was something in the recent Firefox updates that would be causing this reporting issue within my course. I have tested my course in Chrome, no issues, I have tested my course in SCORM Cloud no issues, it is only happening in Firefox, which leads me to believe it is a Firefox issue.

Thank you so much for your help, Melanie

it is long past time for a built in shortcut to: prefs/privacy & security/logins. especially since there is no way to do this with a 3rd party app or extension. There could be a toggle for the shortcut for paranoid users who leave their laptops unlocked. The bookmark method is way out of date.

Hello,

I am sure this question has been asked before but I looked and looked and still can't manage to find an answer. My laptop decided to die on me and I am still figuring out if they I can migrate the hard drive. I went and bought a new one. I had two Firefox windows open with a lot of tabs in them that I would like to restore, and have not succeeded. I was able to restore my Chrome window and tab by going into "History" and choosing other devices. But, I did not find the same capability in FIrefox unfortunately. All it would let me do is view a few random tabs, but not restore my still open sessions in my my other laptop as is.

Is there a way I can restore them keeping in mind that I can't access my old laptop at all anymore so exporting/importing is not an option unless I am missing something?

Thank you for your help.

I want to sort the Bookmarks dropdown list A to Z by name. When I click on Manage Bookmarks and then right click on All Bookmarks, then click on sort A to Z, nothing happens. The dropdown list is still mixed.

After installing the new version 106.01, restoring recently closed windows in History doesn't work even though it is highlighted as being active, but nothing shows or happens when pointing at and clicking on "Recently Closed Tabs".

(I accidently closed one of my two windows and therefore lost all my tabs.) (I know I can restore the tabs one by one, but that will be a huge task.

So what can I do to restore my lost Firefox window?

Thanks in advance. Jens Giertsen Denmark

I use Firefox for my work and that involves working with a lot of images online. For some reason, this option has been completely removed from Firefox for me.

Now when I right-click on an image, there is no longer any option to copy the image, copy the image's location or save the image.

Like I said, I use this browser for work and if I can't interact with images I'll have to start using some other browser.

Thanks in advance.

When I connect to my company portal, I have some picture with link to virtual machines like machinexx.ica

The problem is now with the new release, I have to download the .ica link to be able to execute it.

the links with .html are still opening without the need to save the link. So there should be a way to have .ica file open automatically in spite of loosing time to save the link and open and go and delete the downloaded link.

is there a way (other that switching to other browser) to change the behavior of Firefox ?

Thank you guys.

I think Firefox just updated to 106.0.1 (64-bit). Since then I am not able to play videos on certain sites that I need to for work. I get a message "This video cannot be played (error code 224003)" This happened last year and I can't figure out how I fixed it other than it is definitely Firefox.

The website that breaks is: https://travelfilmarchive.com/home.php

I want to get the emails sent to me from comment boards in the NYTimes. But the emails are filtered out as spam. How can I turn that spam filter off for that one source?

I've now installed Firefox several times including at least one clean install. I've worked through all the support pages on how to fix the problem, including system scan using MalwareBytes, and removing extensions, but the problem persists.

To be more precise, sometimes it just crashes immediately leaving the notices shown in the image. Sometimes it opens and stays for a while but then crashes with a similar notice.

Crash reports:

Hope someone can help.

Its like i just registered. Am I missing something?some setting? cause other browser with accounts remember all that.

In my firefox the file input is not functioning at all.

EX: I go to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_file and try and use any of the file inputs there - they just do nothing.

Same with the file inputs on this support form page. None of them work for me.

System - ubuntu22.04, ff: 106.0.1 64bit
