I can't understand why the Windows menu shows us all the open windows, in no order whatsoever. Not chronological or alphabetical, just random placements, making finding anything a dizzying & time consuming experience, as I have to look up and down each & every time. I don't know of any other browser that gives no option as to how to sort this lis.

I've been unable to play twitter videos at all. For videos and audio posts on other sites, there's usually a delay for a couple seconds before it plays. I disabled all my add-ons and it made no difference. If I try to play 2 different things at once, both of them will chug if play at all.

Does anyone know what the cause might be? I tested videos and audio in another browser and they work fine.

Moving mouse quickly and hit something, mouse clicked. BAM, fonts and picture to tiny size. Cannot find anything that makes that happen to undo it. All pages that site, no other site. Closing/opening Firefox stays the same. Zoomed to max and can now see, but page is not correct proportions.

Firefox updated to 106.0.2 (64-bit). When I press ctrl-B, my bookmarks appear on the browser's left side as expected. However the text is not visible. If I hover my mouse over an icon is the list for a bookmark, the link appears. Also not all the bookmark icons appear. There are gaps between bookmarks on the list. Again, I have to hover my mouse over those gaps for bookmark info to appear. How do I make my bookmark list readable/usable again?

Nie połączono: potencjalne zagrożenie bezpieczeństwa

Firefox wykrył potencjalne zagrożenie bezpieczeństwa i nie wczytał „www.google.com”, ponieważ strona wymaga bezpiecznego połączenia.

Co zrobić w takim przypadku?

Witryna „www.google.com” określa poprzez HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security), że Firefox ma się z nią łączyć jedynie w sposób zabezpieczony. Dodanie wyjątku w celu odwiedzenia tej witryny jest niemożliwe.

Problem leży prawdopodobnie po stronie witryny i nie masz możliwości jego rozwiązania.

Jeśli połączono poprzez sieć firmową lub używasz oprogramowania antywirusowego, możesz spróbować skontaktować się z zespołem wsparcia. Możesz również powiadomić administratora strony o problemie.

Więcej informacji…

Ktoś może próbować podszywać się pod tę witrynę. Odradzamy kontynuowanie.

Witryny potwierdzają swoją tożsamość poprzez certyfikaty. Firefox nie ufa certyfikatowi witryny „www.google.com”, ponieważ jego wystawca jest nieznany, jest samopodpisany lub serwer nie przesyła właściwych certyfikatów pośrednich.

Kod błędu: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

Wyświetl certyfikat Nic więcej nie mogę zrobić a to strona GOogle !! nic nie mogę wyszukać ani znaleść proszę o pomoc jak to zmienić aby to działało , youtobe też nie chodzi ten sam błąd!! proszę o pomoc Krzysztof

When installing Firefox, there is an option to import data from another browser. That feature is also available in the "Library -> Import and Backup -> Import data from Another Browser", and it imports things like Bookmarks and History from another browsers.

As the functionality already exists, is it possible to use that functionality in any way to import Bookmarks and History from a different profile in the same Firefox installation? I want to merge 2 different browsing history (like the old question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928204), and looks like using the "Import data from Another Browser" could help if it's possible to use it with another Firefox profile/directory.

I have tried both Google Authenticator and Guardian for use with Mozilla 2FA. I have tried scanning the QR code on my PC multiple times on each authentication app and retrieving multiple codes each time, but all entries stated "incorrect 6 digit code" on my PC to enable 2FA. I am not sure how this is not working. Both authenticator apps identified my correct login email address associated with my Mozilla account so I know it must have something to do with whatever is happening on the back end at Mozilla for my account.

Also, I have read a few posts in the Mozilla support knowledgebase regarding this very same issue, but did not see any resolution. I would really like to have 2FA. Can someone please contact me about this?

Dear Firefox Team, since updating, I've been enjoying the new Firefox View function. Sadly, as I'm using a few tweaks here and there (vertical tree tabs, modified chrome.css to remove horizontal tabs, etc.), its not visible at the place where it originally belongs. Because of that I'm searching for a way to include it in my workflow. To do this, I've made it my Homepage, and now, I'm trying to change it to my NewTab page as well. I find it more useful than clicking on a random website. I have tried to achieve this with addons and inside about:config; but as you know, "about:newtaburl" has been removed a long time ago.

Do you have an Idea how I could achieve this, or do you think it would be possible to create an option to this in a future release?

Thank you for reading my message, who knows maybe I can give you an Idea

I have recently updated to Firefox 106 on two Arch Linux systems. One of them has Firefox View enabled and working by default, another does not. I looked around and tried some options in about:config to enable it, however it did not work and I reverted the changes. I would like to enable Firefox View on this browser as well, and I would like to know how to enable it.

Is there a toggle to turn off the purple theme in private windows? As an elderly person I find it hard to see things and it's quite irritating to say the least. This only started showing up in my Windows 10 and my linux systems in FF Version 106 and is also violating my preferences to have a totally blank page when a new private window is opened. Suggestions would be most appreciated.

Firefox version 106.0.1 Windows 11pro. Youtube videos will not play, unless they are Live. Weird. Checked internet. Loads on phone, loads fine in Edge. Restarted FF, cleared cache and cookies, tried private browsing, started in troubleshoot mode with no addons-- even the ad video at the top won't play. What else am I missing? Why will the live videos play but not the others? That seems like a clue, but I've hit the end of my ideas. I was able to watch youtube two days ago, the only change (afaik) is a Firefox update this morning.

Firefox instructions for creating an electronic signature tell you to go to "Options" in the "tools" list, which I assume is the list under the three parallel lines in the upper right corner. There is no "Options" section in this list on my browser, either by itself or under one of the other categories in the list, or anywhere else that I can find on the browser website. So I can make no progress. Suggestions?

bold text My FF web pages are way too wide and I have to scroll all the time from side to side, to see the whole page, back and forth! Hate it! Not workable. Not only that, the menu texts (not the fonts on the page) are way too small, unless I reduce the whole page with the limited percentage size, and then none of it is readable to me. For a while 67% size helped but not even that works right and I am CONSTANTLY trying to adjust things so I can see them! It used to work great and now it is a CONSTANT BATTLE TO FUNCTION!

Hi Today I updated Firefox to version 106.0 and I can't get rid of the "arrow button" from top right (screenshot attached - near the minimize button, I marked it). The function of this button is clear for me - tabs management. But I can manage my tabs without special button for it. I want to remove it. I tried right clicking on it, but the "remove from toolbar" option is unavailable. I tried to customize toolbar, but it won't work either (I can't take it from te toolbar).

How to remove this button?
