Firefox Community Forum

I am using the automatic update function. Since one of the latest updates (14X) the download window no longer shows the original file name, but it remains blank. This might be due to an enhanced security feature, but I did not find details so far. Any hint where to look or how to fix the problem would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance, Christoph

Very often, when I hover over my tab group, the list of tabs inside it doesn't expand so I can quickly navigate to it. I have to completely restart the browser, which is inconvenient. And I no longer want to use a special extension for permanent pinning. Please fix this, developers.

When I try to open Firefox, I get a box saying it is open, and I must close it. I do so, and a new Firefox pops up. However when I try to close that, it won't do so.

After an unwanted and un-needed update, all my tabs closed and I can't find them again. Then after rolling the browser back to a previous version, now all of my bookmarks are gone. I want them back where are they on the hard drive.

First of all I would like to know why I have to surrender my personal information to get support. If I get one spam email or text I'm going to be pissed and on here looking for the person(s) responsible.

Good morning, We are using ver. 150. We have noticed that the landing page for Microsoft 365 does not have the apps tab on the left side of the page. Microsoft has redirected the Office apps landing page to a Copilot centric web page. There is a small Apps tab on bottom left which does not display on Firefox. Anyone have an idea why ?. Thank you,

helloooo

i am experiencing an issue with firefox where backup (Firefox Backup) is not working since version 148.0

problem: - when I try to create a backup, i get the error: “Hmm, there was a problem with the backup. Please try again in a few minutes.”

what I have already tried: - enabled and disabled backup password - changed the backup folder/location - cleared browser cache - tested across multiple updates (issue persists)

- backup is enabled, but I cannot create one - the error occurs every time - restarting the browser and system did not help

I noticed in the past day that Firefox started using alot of ssd. It wasn't doing this before, I've been a Firefox user for years now. I'd like to stay that way rather than going with Google or Microsoft. I don't trust some of the other small companies with browsers. I like the fact that Firefox uses it's own engine too. In the last day it started using alot of disk for no reason. How do I fix this. Well, well, well. I just noticed that Icloud from Apple was using alot of disk too and when I shut it down in task manager it stopped. Firefox disk use is virtually none just like Microsoft Edge. So it's some kind of interaction with Icloud that is causing that. But it wasn't doing that before. I have task manager open most of the time to catch stuff like that. My system is decent I have a 2TB 990, 2TB 980, and a 2 TB 860, with and AMD 5800x, 32 GB of ram and an Nvidia rtx 470. Maybe some kind of backup with Icloud was happening, that isn't with Edge. So I know shutting that off works. Icloud is useful for backing up things from my phone though.

Hi this can anyone shed anylight on this please? I was using Facebook earlier today with no problem then now it won't run nor open yet it runs fine in Google Chrome. I've cleared out the Cookies ect and re-tried but its not pitching anything.

Many thanks Rob

In the past, I was able to freehand highlight PDFs that did not recognize the Text. I was using this function this week; maybe the newest Firefox update is at fault. Without this, half of my documents are not really usable in Firefox. Everything else works. If it recognizes the text, I have no problems; the pencil tool also works just fine.

The threads.com website looks very strange. In all other browsers it displays fine, but Firefox shows enormous size icons and barely visible text, with no formatting. Please see attached screenshots. Tried to clear cache, cookies, etc. - nothing worked. Please help!

For the past week everytime i use the search whether by using the address bar or context highlight a word i get a blank page as first result, if i search again i get the result. I use yahoo search engine as my main search engine for the past 10+ years. This doesnt happen if i set the google engine as i tested it in case it was an search engine issue.

When I try to save a file, if the target exists, Firefox defaults to overwriting. I'd rather it default to cancel. At least it works this way in Linux. It defaults to cancelling in Windoze.
