Hi. I'm taking an online course for HVAC certification. Some test questions require to arrange the answers in a logic sequence. When I try to move the answers up or down, they 'snap back' into the original (wrong) position. Is there a solution to this issue? I'm using FireFox with Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Greetings, Matt

My PC was just updated to Firefox 153 and since the app seems to freeze regularly - particularly when accessing (older) silly games such as Bubble Pet Saga - a simplistic CBC game. https://www.cbc.ca/kids/games/play/bubble-pet-saga

I run Windows 10 on an older HP

Thanks Jim

Fire fox is automatically playing videos/sound or both if I click on a tab that has that or also in facebook, etc. How do I stop this? I want to be able to click play when I want to hear/see something.

Recently a "gear" icon has appeared on the bottom left of my screen while using Mozilla. It relates to moving the tabs. I don't want to do anything with my tabs. How can I get rid of the icon? The icon reduces the horizontal screen space available. I have a small laptop so this small amount of space is important.

Thanks for your help! Cindy

I read the article about having 50 GB of free VPN use after I updated Firefox today to version 149.0; however, I don't see anywhere where I can enable the VPN. I've checked in the "Customize Toolbar" section, and I still couldn't find anything. I don't understand, the article made it sound like I should have access, but I've also read that it's not out for everyone yet?

I remember not too long ago, I could copy/paste blocks of links, in the format of link1|link2|link3|etc, to save current tabs as my homepage if I needed to close firefox and not loose my tabs. But now, I have to manually add and remove each link individually (see screenshot). And it only shows the site domain, not information specific to the actual page I want to keep so I don't know if I'm deleting something that's not needed or important. I usually have 50+ pages that need to managed: saved, removed, reordered, etc. I used to be able to set up one browser window exactly how I want it and click button to save current tabs as home screen. It was so easy.

Is there any way I can revert back to the old way of saving homepages? Or any other suggestions to have tabs reliably reload? I need a solution to be guaranteed to work to not lose important work, using current tabs as homepage accomplished this. This is one of the major reasons I used firefox.

A little over a week ago I logged on asking a question related to the inability of the download I had made of the current version of Firefox to install on my new windows 11 Pro laptop. There were a couple of answers, the last of which was posted by James, who is identified as a Moderator.

I made not of his response, logged out of the forum and followed his instructions. I found that he had accurately diagnosed the problem and had responded with a very successful answer.

Over the following week I attempted several times to log back onto the forum and replying to his response to thank him for his assistance and let other forum members know that his effort was appreciated.

At no time was I able to return to my question, find his response and properly thank him for his effort. Each time I returned to my question I was blocked from doing anything other than reading my question. I could not even access the replies..

That is not in the interest of the forum's users and is an insult to the hard working moderators whose efforts must be duly acknowledged and lauded.

I suggest that some changes to this website are due and whomever the powers may be that make stupid decisions which maybe harmful to its users should be given the heave-ho and be returned to that unspeakable place from which they evolved.

Thank you James. You did an excellent job and should be commended!

Hello, First of all, sorry for my bad english. I'm not a native speaker. I'm running Firefox 153.0 on a W11 PC. I recently encountered some problems when signing into Microsoft.com.

In order to sign in, I need to enter my email adress (duh) and my password before proceeding with 2FA. However, when I submit my password, the login page immediatly sends this error message : Password sign-in isn’t available. Try another method.

I first thought my credentials were wrong. This is not the case since I managed to log in with another browser (Edge, to be more specific). The same message appears whether the password is correct or not. In other words, Microsoft doesn't even bother to check if credentials info are correct.

I encounter the same problem with other Microsoft accounts. I tried to log in with 2 other machines (also running Firefox 153.0) on two different networks with different IPs, and the issue persists. However, when trying to log in from another browser or using a Firefox private window, everything works like a charm.

The problem then seems to come from the " classic " Firefox browsing. Here's what I tried :

• Closing and reopening Firefox and restarting Windows (well, you never know, it could be useful) ;
• Completely clearing cache and browsing data ;
• Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (so add-ons are not a problem here, and I'm only using uBlock) ;

The issue persists. I'm quite at a loss here.

I regularily log in to my Microsoft account and this issue first occured since the 153.0 update. Any idea ?

I'm not the only one with this problem, at least one other person encountered this issue, confer this reddit post (which is not mine, however I'm one of the commenters).

Have a nice one, Atuvu

Hi Team, Firefox on macOS 26.5.2 (not since this version), I use Firefox lates version but it be judged as old version and I always get the messages on Gmail, "このブラウザ バージョンのサポートは終了しました。サポートされているブラウザにアップグレードしてください。", on Facebook "このブラウザーはサポートされなくなりました。快適にご利用いただくため、新しいバージョンにアップデートしてください。" on Instagram "Your browser is no longer supported Please update to a newer version for the best experience", (Sorry, I use in Japanese). And I cannot watch Netflix on Firefox. Why?I'd like to know the reason of this issue, and could you kindly improve that it work normally on macOS? Thank you.

I'm trying to add the world cup tracker to my home screen, but when i click the link, it just puts me in my new tab page with no changes. When I click the pencil edit icon, widgets are not an option for me. Is there a place I need to enable them?

Right Click → Save as in a normal browser window opens a system-colored save window, but since Firefox desktop 152, Right Click → Save as in a Private browser window opens a dark-colored save window, which does not have anywhere near enough contrast between the medium grey text and the black background. Is there a setting in about:config to make a Private window open a system-colored save window?
