There used to be a way to add a web site as a shortcut to the Home page by dragging the link and dropping it somewhere. Those instructions seem to have disappeared. One of the sites I had pinned to the Home page has changed. I can remove the old link (tile), but how do I add the new link as a tile? The help articles no longer provide any information about how to do this. Just "pinning' the page adds it to the toolbar, where I don't want it, but does not add it to the Home page. Do I have to just close and open that site a bunch of times in order to get it to appear???? There should be a more sensible way.

Dear Firefox

I am writing to you as regards your current upgrade and its interface. The taps bar and tools bar are very wide, thus decreasing area below them. The cannot because customized with the little knowledge I have in development.

I jumped FF V90 to this current upgrade FF 131.03 because anytime I tried to upgrade, I find the Interface not to my liking due to what I have already described above. I have seen similar comments like mine on the browser comments. One user actually asked if FF interface to V 80.02 which I support for it is the best of Interfaces so far in the development of the FF browser.

I hope to hear from you soon before I take a decision to go back to FF V90.0.

P/S: My 2 email addresses:

                                            1. [edited from public] @AOL.COM
                                            2. [edited from public] @GMAIL.COM

Also in trying to upload Image of the browser for clarity purpose, I get this:

                                           Error uploading Image
                                           Invalid or no image received.

What is happening here about Uploaded images: Add images (optional), I cannot fathom. There is certainly a block somewhere on the Support page.

Kind regards.

Yesterday, I get a screen popup that says" Outlook(formerly Hotmail)" Saying Hotmail will now be Outlook.

I've had Hotmail for maybe 30+ years now? I've always had Firefox open to my inbox, which is Outlook and has been for a year or better.

Since yesterday it will not open up to my inbox. It opens to the MS website showing what I wrote up above and a picture of Outlook.

I've deleted cookies and cache. Also history. Even though I point it to my inbox it just goes to that advertisement. I have the stay signed in box checked and don't show this again. But it does show again and again. I hope there's a way to fix this, pretty sure it not a Firefox issue. Just hoping someone else has had and and found a way around it.

Thanks Daniel B

My extensions are not showing up in the firefox browser, on menu bar, tool bar, or bookmarks bar. I am elderly and NOT computer literate. What to do? Using Windows 10.

Thank you.

I don't know what's happening but since a couple of days, let's say Wednesday 13th November, my firefox got incredibly slow: everytime I insert a url or a link in the address bar and press enter it takes a lot of time to completely load the website.

I tried to use Edge instead, and Edge is working flawlessly, while Firefox is not.

I also did a fresh install, wiping the %APPDATA% folders too, but nothing changes.

Setup:

• Firefox version 132.0.2
• on Windows 10
• Firefox and Windows are 64 bit

You Tube will not go full screen. I've tried reinstalling, clearing cache, refreshing page, pressing F11. Nothing works. It will go full screen in a private browser, but not in a normal one.

This is a feature request - not sure if it goes here.

I would like to arrange the toolbars in Firefox in the following order:

   Menu bar (top, with "File" on the far left and "X" on the far right, i.e. not centered)
   Bookmarks bar
   Search bar
   Tab bar

This can't be done currently. The best I can do is:

   Bookmarks bar
   Search bar
   Menu bar
   Tab bar

My request is that the user be able to arrange the position of the toolbars in any arbitrary order. Thanks!

I need to prevent the spacebar from scrolling while I am in Firefox. It drives me demented! Every time I lean forward to concentrate, my clothes accidentally brush the spacebar and it sets off a superfast scroll, which gives me a severe shock and loses my place. Help me deactivate that function please. Surely, it must be optional?

In case you're wondering, yes, I do push the keyboard away when I read, but then I bring it forward to take a note in a Word document, and by that time I am so absorbed I don't notice whether or not I've pushed it away again. I have tried to create the habit but can only do it when I start to read, and never when I return to read. The shock and discombolulation physically hurts. Help, please!

When I logged into my laptop on 9th November Firefox had closed. This happens sometimes, I'm often not sure why, but this time the previous session didn't automatically repopulate when I restarted. I navigated to the history options with the idea of retoring the previous session - either using that functionality or individually opening previous windows - but history was blank and the previous windows option was greyed out. Following suggestions online I've looked for .bak or .json or similar files to use as restore points but there's nothing since much earlier in the year up to 8th November, which are pretty much empty, and the 9th.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions!

I have an overactive spam folder. I have added numerous websites/emails to my contact list several times and these senders are still sent to the spam folder. I have to check spam and inbox folders for my legit emails. I have used FF for years and not had this problem! It is making me want to change my settings and forget FireFox!

Dear sir , why i can't open email account ? please open for me , my account : Email hidden@live.com

Thank you your kindly Roger Phang warmest regards

I am on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.5011, using Firefox 132 (64-bit), not running Kaspersky, I do have AdGuard (7.19.0 (4853) (CL 1.16.44, DL 2.5.41 )) and Malwarebytes (4.6.17.334) on my system along with their browser adons. I have attached some screenshots, hope they are useful.

Please help.

Hi, i wanted to see a Movie on WOW TV but only have a blank Window in my Browser. This Problem is only with WOW TV. Amazon Prime and Netflix Stream works perfect. The Support from WOW TV has no solution for me. They only have one hint for me to use Chrome or Edge.

YouTube is not playing videos on my Firefox browser. When I click on the link to a video, it leads me to the page, but the video player stays blank and nothing plays (see attached screenshot). Troubleshooting methods I've tried to no avail:

   refreshing the page

   restarting the computer

   opening a new window and trying again

   updating my graphics card drivers

   disabling all extensions/add-ons

The site works on my mobile app, and other browsers (chrome and internet explorer), but I don't want to use either of those options for obvious reasons. Is anyone else having this problem? It's been happening for a few days. Any help would be much appreciated!

I received a Mozilla Firefox (64) update notice going for version 132. When it didn't complete, I checked that my version is Firefox ESR115 (115.17.0), which operates with Windows 7-8.1. I have Windows 10, which matches with your version 132. So my question is how do I change/update my Firefox over to match up with Windows 10 and the Version 132 update?
