When I use on line banking and I want to look at a check, I can not get Firefox to render a check image. Also I downloaded tickets to an event and FF would not render the Q-code on the tickets. I what to know what settings to change in order to do online banking. BTW it works in Chromium Browser, but I do not use it and have little knowledge about Chromium, I just have it on my laptop for troubleshooting.

how do i recover all the tabs I had open? I do not have and have not had the option to "Restore previous session". I did go to recover tabs, but it was not all of them. Then I tried scrounger.html and that did not work.

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

I just had to sign in to this forum although I had never logged out. I am using Firefox 143.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22.2. It is not the first time I am having to login again in one-by-one the sites I visit. And before anything else, I have not changed any of my privacy settings and no new profile has been created due corruption of my default one. It is not the first time this happens lately. Any chance with the Firefox update? I think I installed one quite recently.

When using version 143 on linux and PIP is open and I go to another workspace the PIP does not show on any other workspace other than the workspace it is already on. This does nt occur with Chromium browsers as there PIP follows on any workspace.

What should happen is the PIP in firefo should always appear on the displayed screen I am working on.

Подскажите! Почему не отображаются favicon в закладках? На первом скриншоте favicon есть на втором скриншоте когда я закладку переложил в папку favicon уже исчез!

Help! Why aren't favicons showing up in my bookmarks? The favicon is there in the first screenshot, but when I moved the bookmark to the folder in the second screenshot, the favicon was already gone!

When I type in a Google search in Firefox, a red dotted line (not the wavy red line from Firefox's spell check; spell check is disabled) appears. What exactly is this red dotted line? Can I show or hide it in settings? Can I change the setting in about:config? Please help. It's very annoying.

For the past few days hot links in Thunderbird do not open in Firefox. Selecting a link in an email opens or brings to the fore a copy of Firefox with the link address and the wait icon but nothing else happens. I have to close Firefox, copy the link location, Past and Go in Firefox, and then the linked page appears. This behavior happens even in Troubleshoot Mode, so it is not any plugin or customization. I am also running Mozilla VPN. With VPN disabled, hot links in Thunderbird open in Firefox as expected. Now you know where to look.

Also, when I tried to add Troubleshooting Information below, nothing appeared. When I selected to option to be shown what to do, this page was replaced with other which deleted all this text, and now I am entering it all in again, which is severely frustrating. On a page where the user has entered possibly a volume of information, there should not be any sloppy risk of deleting that information due to page mishandling. Open help or assistance information in a separate tab, please. Think ahead about this stuff. You are supposed to be web design experts. Instead your web site spits in my face just when I am asking for help. Think. Plus, I had to get the Troubleshoot information manually so that is not being as automatic as it appears to be , either. Getting help should ideally be a button click, not jumping through hoops.

I was able to stream news from CTV news site but for some unknown reason I cannot stream it like I used too I cannot figure out why! Something must be wrong with my setup. Please help me fix my problem.

Firefox 143.0.3 on Windows 11 24H2. I normally run my browser window full vertical height of the screen (but not maximized). If my PC goes into screen save due to lack of activity, each time I return and it comes out of screen save, the bottom of the Firefox window has risen vertically by about 15-20 pixels, and there is now a gap between the bottom of the FF window and the bottom of the screen. If I go in/out of screen save again, then the gap increases again as the windows shrinks further. The top of the FF window doesn't move, only the bottom.

This problem doesn't happen with the window size of any other app that I use if I size the window the full height of the screen and go in/out of screen save - eg the Thunderbird window remains the full height of the screen.

Any suggestions on a possible cause and how to fix the problem? It isn't just the latest version of FF that has the problem - it was also there with previous versions.

is there a way to prevent HTTP Basic Authentication dialog from stealing focus in about:config? It can be really annoying if a site logs me out randomly while working in another tab. Chromium browsers does not do that

unable to print. When I click on an AOL email to print, "preparing preview" appears. The email I'm trying to print usually just shows up and I click on number of copies, pages, etc. I need to print. Now, the preparing preview page does not load the email I'm trying to print, and then I get the "firefox has crashed" dialogue box appears.

Hello, recently started using group tabs v143 - very cool!

One thing I noticed is that when I close all the ungrouped tabs I was just using, FF will then open one of the grouped tabs. I assume this was the last grouped tab I used, which may not be today, and not what I want to do right now. Is there a way to have FF not go into a group after that last ungrouped tab was closed - maybe just open a new blank tab or homepage? If not possible now, where do I add this to a feature/setting wishlist? Cheers!

I opened Firefox on one of my computers as usual today but the whole performance changed. Used to go to my home tab and select various news sites to see what was happening. First, when I scroll down the bookmarks, I would hit the "news" and click on it so all the sub items would stay in the scroll, but instead of that, it wanted to open every item as a new tab. When I finally started opening the various news outlets, it opened them in new tabs, it had always opened in the same tab. Then, I couldn't close the various tabs it had opened. I would go to the tab and hit the "X" but it didn't close the tab. I had to use a drop down menu to close a tab. And when in a site, I used the scroll button on the mouse, instead of scrolling, it made the page larger or smaller instead of going up or down. What could make such a change in behavior? I opened up the 'settings' on it and looked at 'tabs' and they were the same as the ones that are on this computer that works as expected. Both computers have it set to open all previous windows and tabs. Both have the same settings for 'tabs' and 'browsing'. I don't get it. Both are version 143.0.3 (64-bit) I have Ubuntu OS.

my pages are not working properly seems like after this last update Im not sure my eBay the pages are all not working like they should tried another browser and it was fine so its an issue on your browser, and with KICK .COM its just buffering it wont open was fine last evening and now today its doing that, and my AOL it wont open up my mail same with Gmail its doing nothing this is very frustrating and annoying

Good morning, Woke up, noticed my screen on (was in sleep mode), guessed PC had restarted itself overnight, that happens, opened Firefox, click sandwich Click History "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed windows" are not options I can click...

what the heck please help! I'm going back to bed....
