I received an email that said my account would be closed in 7 days unless I signed in.

I leave my Mozilla tabs permanently open and use them every day. I tried to sign in as instructed and got an "unknown error" about 3 times. Then I was sent to a page talking about Windows 10. I have the extension; that's not a problem for me.

Closing Mozilla and possibly losing all those open tabs would be a BIG problem. Evidently I'm signed in now. I hope everything is OK with my Mozilla account.

Lately when following links from google searches to some sites I get a "can't find" or "access not allowed". These sites tend to be hardware stores - specifically Home Depot or Lowes and some times Walmart. It is NOT my OS!! Because I copy the URL and paste it into Chrome and it works just fine.

Obviously switching to Chrome would solve this issue - but I've used Firefox for years and prefer to stick with it.

What's changing out there that is causing these incompatibilities?

Subject: Feedback: Please Show Full URLs by Default and Disable “Show Search Terms in Address Bar” by Default

Hello Mozilla Firefox Team,

I would like to suggest two changes to Firefox’s default address bar behavior that would improve transparency, usability, and user trust.

1. Show Full URL Addresses by Default

  Currently, Firefox hides parts of the URL such as “https://” and sometimes simplifies the displayed address. I believe Firefox should display the complete URL at all times by default, including:
  • Protocol (`https://`)
  • Full subdomains (`www`, `m`, etc.)
  • Complete path when relevant

Displaying the full address helps users:

  • Better verify website authenticity
  • Detect phishing or deceptive domains more easily
  • Understand exactly where they are navigating
  • Maintain consistency with technical and professional workflows


2. Disable “Show Search Terms in the Address Bar on Results Pages” by Default

  The feature that replaces the actual search engine URL with the search query text can be confusing and reduces transparency. Many users expect the address bar to show the real URL of the page they are visiting.

I recommend disabling this feature by default because:

  • It hides useful navigational information
  • It makes copying/searching URLs less predictable
  • It can create ambiguity about the actual site/page being viewed
  • Advanced and privacy-conscious users generally prefer seeing the real URL

Users who prefer the simplified search-term display could still enable it manually in settings.

Firefox has traditionally been a browser focused on user control, openness, and transparency. These changes would align well with those principles.

Thank you for your work on Firefox and for considering this feedback.

I have two desktop computers. both were fine. Now when I try to access a site i have gone to innumerable times it says "Blocked access". I can still get to the site on the other computer, but it is annoying to have to hop back & forth. I looked at the settings page, but I have no idea what I need to change to regain access.

I need to stop google from automatically searching in the address bar so I can use about.config.

No help has worked from the web. Commands suggested by users don't exist or they use circular logic. In other words I can't go to about.config and make changes because I can't get to about.config because google searches it. I have turned off everything and nothing gets rid of the google search. I can go to other searches but that doesn't help.

After moving home from college Firefox no longer works. I can open the browser, and it doesn’t crash, but websites will not load and I can’t search anything. The weather data says it is not available. I have tried everything. Uninstall and reinstall, reset, scanned for malware, reset DNS on my computer, cleared cache both on Firefox and on my pc. If I open up Chrome websites work fine. When I reset Firefox through the uninstall window, it works but if I close that and reopen it it is broken again. I am beyond frustrated and any guidance would be much appreciated.

Lately, on certain websites, like Fox News - I open a tab in a new link and it just spins.

Today, I just tried to register an account with a glass company, and I hit the button to register, and nothing happened.

Yesterday on a different site, I went to place an order, and everything grayed out and it just stayed like that.

What do I need to adjust in order for this to stop happening?

I use Firefox as my browser and have used Yahoo as my home page and browser for decades. Starting a few days ago, every time I type in the Yahoo search bar I get a Google search page result. I opened Bing and tried to search on their page and got the same result - Google. This is driving me crazy. I want my old Yahoo search back. I am at a loss as to how to fix this. I have looked at the Firefox settings and, of course, Yahoo is no longer listed. A shame. I don't know what to do at this point. Maybe the answer is to get rid of Firefox, but it has worked well for me for a long time. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I had a bunch of tabs open (apparently in Window 2). One of the tabs had some page I wanted to close. I hit the x and all the tabs disappeared. I went to view recent browsing and the tabs are there in Window2. But when I click on window 2, they don't go back up to the top. If i click on the up arrow they go away, but come back when i click same (now down) arrow again. I want them back up on the top to use. WHERE do new windows come from. EXPLAIN this to me.
