Why when using Firefox on Facebook does the back button or closing a window take you to the top of a new timeline instead of back to my previous location? It's frustrating.

Neither Chrome or Edge does this so I'm inclined to believe it has something to do with Firefox's code. Chrome has an alternative, the ESC button takes you back where you were.

Any answers?

Browser doesn't click elements on first google page. Neither "people ask" elements, nor "more images" and images even. But only on the first page. When I change to "images" tab, then it's ok. Plus doesn't click elements like left, right arrow on images on reddit.

Tried without extensions, new profile. All the same.

How to disable the auto-adding of shortcuts feature from history to home page? It's really annoying, when I want to change my pinned shortcuts, I have to delete all auto added shorcuts (Even when the items on the screen are finished, they keep appearing in front of me, and this takes a long time). It is a must feature I think.

Mozilla Firefox began to crash all the time; crashes happen almost every ten minutes, and it happens with every site. It still lasts about for several weeks. I tried to reinstall Firefox; I updated my drivers for my computer; I cleared cash and history in the settings; I tried to delete some files from Firefox's folder. All these things did not help. The crashes may happen with any site, and it can happen any time. I have no problem with memory shortage. My system consists of Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 7800 XT and G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x16Gb.

Hello,

I disabled the AI summarizer almost immediately after seeing it because:

  1. It was not able to summarize the page
  2. It blocked the information I actually needed to see on the page

However, shortly after disabling it I got a pop-up ad advertising the feature! (attached)

Access AI chatbots in Firefox - Make this actually useful???

I'm a user of the new "Ask AI" feature in Firefox, and while I appreciate the convenience of having an AI assistant in the browser, I've noticed a significant limitation that prevents the feature from being truly useful.

The Problem

Currently, when you right-click and select the "Ask AI" option, the prompt sent to the chatbot only includes the selected text and the page title. It completely omits the page's URL. This is the prompt that is sent:

* * I’m on page “<tabTitle>Get Support | Mozilla Support</tabTitle>” with “<selection></selection>” selected.


  • * Please summarize the selection using precise and concise language. Use headers and bulleted lists in the summary, to make it scannable. Maintain the meaning and factual accuracy.


This is a major issue because without the URL, the AI cannot access the full context of the page. It can't scrape the content, analyze the structure, or understand the full context of the selected text, which is often crucial for generating accurate and comprehensive summaries or answers. The feature, as it is, relies entirely on the user manually selecting a large block of text, which is clunky and often insufficient.

Proposed Improvements

   Include the URL in the Prompt: The most critical improvement would be to automatically include the page's URL in the prompt sent to the AI. This would allow the AI to properly "see" and interact with the full page, making tasks like "Summarize" much more effective.
   Allow Custom Prompt Editing: A second, highly beneficial feature would be the ability for users to customize the prompt before it's sent. This would give users more control over the AI's output and enable more creative and specific uses of the feature beyond the pre-set options. This would also allow users to manually insert the URL if needed, as a workaround for the current limitation.

These changes would transform the "Ask AI" feature from a novelty that only works on selected text to a genuinely powerful tool for research, content analysis, and productivity.

Thank you for considering this request.

I am on Firefox 142.01 and Windows 11. For the past month or so, after logging into websites such as chewy.com, orbitz.com, marriott.com etc, the screen returns completely blank. I then have to go to Chrome if I want to do anything. I use NoScript 13.0.9 and have allowed all access so not sure what is blocking the browser content. There are no error messages or anything displaying at all. Any assistance is appreciated, thank you!

Why the hell do I have to keep signing in to show my passwords? I do not sign out but yet when I try to sign in to anything that I've used a password before the damn thing is not there. I'm getting disgusted with firefox and I've used it only for many years but you keep screwing around with something that worked fine and now it's all screwed up. I wish you would just leave things alone. I was having a problem with getting my bookmarks and favorites but it appears that has been fixed. I had to delete and re-install farefox several times to get all that back but lately it's staying there.
