Firefox Community Forum

New (to me) issue, was not happening prior to system and browser updates. Using MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1 with Firefox Version 152.0.2 (64-bit), when I attempt to use keyboard shortcuts to copy paste into print dialogue (when I use Destination 'Save to pdf' and want to paste a file name I have copied), I get an error noise and no copy/paste happens. Using "right click" copy/paste is working properly (allows copy/paste of text into print dialog save to pdf name box). I have no custom keyboard settings for any apps and this issue is not occurring elsewhere in the browser (and is not occurring in other browsers). Have done the normal, updating OS and browser, used terminal to kill the clipboard and restart it, and restarted system and browser a couple of times. Would love to know if there is something I can do to fix this as I use this function frequently.

When I long press shortcut and choose remove, it does not remove. Some will others won’t. I don’t think it is a sponser shortcut because I think I originally put it there.

I am unable to dismiss the Amazon Search icon from my Firefox Homepage. I can dismiss others, but whenever I click on Dismiss for the Amazon Search it just always remains. I want it gone.

Quality switches to 360 when tab inactive firefox. I watch Twitch in 1080p. When I switch to another tab and then return, the quality drops to 360p and then automatically goes back to 1080p.

I have five old expired CC's that pop up every time for auto fill. However, when I follow the link, to Manage Payment Methods. It is completely empty. There's nothing to manage. How do I delete all the old stuff when there's nothing were it should be? Please see attached.

I have used 4 rows of site icons on my home page for years. (Linux FF since 2013, various distros.)

After an update, they became tiny AND so close to the bottom that a zoom of even 110 percent was unacceptable. (I prefer 100 percent.) 100 cut off the labels at the bottom.

I deleted my search bar from homepage yesterday, and had already deleted top stories and weather years ago.

Several searches over the last few days have done nothing.

Screenshot of zoom at 110 and straight 100.

Firefox is disconnecting my account every time i restart the browser. I've made sure it's not set to clear data when restarting. I found a support forum post for mac where they weren't installing it and were running it from the dmg, but i'm using the firefox that was installed during cachy installation, which firefox gives /usr/bin/firefox, when runnign it from terminal (or anywhere) the command in btop is /usr/lib/firefox/firefox. its really frustrating because i lose my session data, have to log back in again, have to redownload all my extensions, ahve to reconfigure all my extensions every time the browser restarts

I'm on CachyOS on COSMIC de with a btrfs file system. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. I've tried making a new profile. I really don't want to use a different browser, but this isn't functional.

Hello!

When opening a native <select> dropdown in Firefox, the hover/highlight bar on an <option> does not span the full width of the dropdown popup — it only covers roughly the left portion (about half) of the option row. The rest of the row to the right stays un-highlighted, which looks broken. Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers) render the same markup with a full-width hover highlight.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the attached test page (or any page with a full-width native <select>) in Firefox on Windows. Click the select to open the dropdown. Move the mouse over the options. Expected result: The hover highlight covers the entire width of the option row (full width of the dropdown popup), as it does in Chrome.

Actual result: The hover highlight covers only part of the row width (about half), leaving the right side of the option un-highlighted. See attached screenshots: (attach Firefox screenshot here — and optionally a Chrome screenshot showing correct full-width hover for comparison).

Notes / what I already ruled out:

It is not CSS-specific to my site. I reproduced it with: a styled <select> (custom background/color on <option>, dark color-scheme), a select with the option background removed entirely, the box-shadow: 0 0 10px 100px <color> inset "full-width" workaround, and a completely bare <select> with no custom CSS at all (appearance: auto). All of them show the same half-width hover in Firefox. Chrome renders all of the above with a correct full-width hover. This makes it look like a Firefox-level rendering behavior of the native dropdown popup rather than something controllable from page CSS. Environment:

Firefox version: Latest OS: Windows 11 Display scaling / zoom: (fill in — e.g. 100% page zoom, 100% Windows display scale; mention if non-100%, since DPI scaling can be relevant)

I'm using Firefox 152 (64 bit). When I try to enable the built in VPN, I get a message saying to check my internet connection, even though I am already connected to the internet. The VPN will not turn on.

Today I received this email:

Hello,

Your Extension Facebook Filter was manually reviewed by the Mozilla Add-ons team in an assessment performed on our own initiative of content that was submitted to Mozilla Add-ons.

Our review found that your content violates the following Mozilla policy or policies: This add-on has been blocked due to a violation of Mozilla's Policies by the add-on or its developer..

Affected versions: 1.0

If I try to login to https://addons.mozilla.org

You do not have permission to perform this action.

So I guess I'm locked out now it seems, which is weird IMO as it's a very simple add on that collapses Facebook post of users I don't follow. I'm the only user as I did not make it public.

Also "This add-on has been blocked due to a violation of Mozilla's Policies by the add-on or its developer.." eh..? Does FF enforce Facebook policies now? ;-)

My issue is that I cannot appeal as I'm locked out of the URL too.

Any suggestions?

Every time I log into MOZILLA_FIREFOX it asks to update. I have tried this before. I usually just hit that NO button...When I do click on the YES button & try to update...IT WIPES OUT EVERYTHING I HAVE STORED ON FIREFOX. EVERY SINGLE PASSWORD...SHOPPING LISTS...I'm done! I now once again have to go and recover all my information. Thing is....it updates automatically........so WTH is going on? I will start looking for aother browser...is this a scam or what?

Hi there. The past few weeks whenever I try to view any YouTube embed on any website I just get this error and the video does not play: Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot

Of course I am signed in but it does nothing. It works in other web browsers, just not Firefox. I've tried resetting my cache and cookies, private windows, and disabling all extensions but nothing seems to work.

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7; Firefox 141.0.2

The "one sentence" in the heading states the problem. I am unable to use Firefox. Using Safari to make this post.

Firefox loads. It opens windows (I had fourteen open when I last used it successfully; I have many, many tabs). Then it removes each window from the screen. Firefox is in the Menu bar, but no windows are displayed. The windows still show in the list when selecting Window in the menu bar. Selecting a window in that list has no visible effect. File>New Window opens a new window, which works as expected. With one new window open, File>New Window opens a second.

Typing a few characters in the address bar opens a dropdown with a list of tabs, each with the affordance, Switch to Tab. Clicking on one takes down the list but does not open a window.

I would like, for a start, instructions on how to use Firefox starting afresh with no windows. First: having set aside the data that causes this problem. I suppose that might be simply a new profile. But would like instructions from a person interested in pursuing the problem with me while I continue with the rest of my life.

I'm willing to delete some data from the failing profile, is there is reason to do that, but would like to preserve at least a list of the URLs of the tabs of the windows. Or to learn how to see those in the profile data.

I see four profiles:

  <garble>.default-<13 digit integer>  Date Modified: Today  2.2 GB
  <garble>.Default Profile   Date Modified: Last June   24.6 MB
  <garble>.default-release-1   Date Modified: Last June, five minutes later  93.2 MB
  <shorter garble>.default-release   Date Modified: 2021   13.4 MB

Thanks in advance.
