Firefox Community Forum

Ever since the "new" profiles were introduced (not to be confused with those you can access and edit via about:profiles - naming both profiles is immensely confusing tbh), the name of the profile you are currently using is added to the taskbar element. For example, if the support main page os your current open tab, the taskbar element will say: Mozilla Support- Profile name- Mozilla Firefox. I see no need for this, so I would appreciate an option to remove the profile name

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor. Regards, Guy James

The to bar on my browser window - the one above the menu bar - keeps disappearing. I don't know what it's called or I'd tell you, but it's the one in the attached screenshot that says, "Get Support...", etc.

When I try to log into Tangerine bank I get the error. "We're sorry for the inconvenience. This function is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

This issue started Oct-13-2025 and it appears to work when using Firefox ESR 146.01 but not the regular Firefox 146.01 versions. Tangerine is not giving me information on the error and I was wondering if there is a difference between the ESR and regular version that might clear up this issue?

When I open a website from a shortcut in my desktop (Win Pro 25H2) the link works perfectly and the site opens. However, a dropdown box opens from the address bar and displays all the URL of every page I've visited within that site. I can click on the site page (away from the dropdown list) and the the dropdown list then closes. Is there a way to turn this annoying thing off?

Firefox will not allow me to shop on line. Everything is fine until I get to checkout then I get message 'unable to complete'. This happens on Bestbuy.ca and audible.ca. I can shop these sites on my laptop. Have I a setting wrong? I'm using Win11 on a new build and the latest Firefox. Bryan

Using Firefox as my browser, I have over the last few days been unable to maintain a connection with the internet.

You will please excuse me as I am a 70 year old with limited understanding of the interaction of the internet and its terminology.

A couple of things you may need to know to offer me advise I just received a refurbished Dell laptop with windows 11. I'm using firefox as the browser comcast xfinity is my ISP I subscribe to NordVPN and NordPass

I am having a problem maintaining a connection to firefox.

I can look on the taskbar and see that I am connected via Comcast and the NordVPN and yet I will have displays of "you are not connected to the internet" or similar wording. If I need to include that, at these times, I look at the task bar and I confirm that I am connected.

In addition to this Windows 11 laptop, I have two active android phones. My Gmail, last I checked on the laptop was displaying vividly inaccurate time stamps to incoming emails. My phones however show the emails with accurate timestamps. (A difference of 4 to 6 hours like EST New York to middle of the Pacific Ocean)

I do have photos of these events, screenshots of sorts... but they're on the phone. I'm currently using the firefox browser to offer this post/question, but I sit in anticipation of it acting erratically. Finally I have downloaded a different browser to use while the firefox issue is being trouble shot.

Rather than add more possibly irrelevant information, I'll send now and let the community ask me questions.

Trying to reactivate my Adobe CS6 software package and when I try to login to the Adobe website it tells me that to access the Adobe site I have to update my Mozilla browser by adding JavaScript to the browser. Why is this required and is there any means to access Adobe using Firefox without complicating the browser by adding JavaScript?

This morning all my bookmarks have vanished, and I can't recover them using the instructions in the help articles. ALL WERE AVAILABLE LAST NIGHT. My home page is the only thing still there

I have a big problem with firefox since yesterday: Firefox deleted my bookmarks. It also made no backup for bookmarks. Neverless I added again some bookmarks and after I started my computer and firefox again also the "new" bookmarks were also lost again...

Also when I want so see my actual downloads (Extras-->Downloads) Firefox don't show any downloads, but there are downloads active...

I have a actuelle Version: 146.0.1 (64-Bit)

Is that a bug with the latest update?

Ever since the last update I've been having an issue with my bookmark bar. I like to have it visible. But lately I will be browsing the internet try to click on my usual bookmark and it's not there! All the bookmarks in my toolbar are missing. They have not been deleted but have all been moved to not in my toolbar and I have to go fish them out. After I fix it time will pass and I notice it happens again! It's super annoying. Since this times well with the last update I blame the update. Can you either tell me how to get my bookmarks to stop dancing around or guide me to downgrading my version of firefox?

When using ebay, I am unable to open additional pictures of a listed item, view an enlarged picture of the item, save an item or to bid on an item, while using my computer. I am able to do these things using my phone but it is much less convenient. This came about in the last week or so and I have been unable to determine the issue. Similar accessibility issues are not apparent on other sites. Obviously I have not been able to sort this out myself and am reaching out to see if you may have any suggestions as to what I may try.

Thanks you for your assistance, Dave Herman

Why does Firefox's hardware usage, especially memory (RAM) and battery consumption, have to be so high that the laptop fan noise causes a lot of noise in the environment? Windows 11 25H2

Over the past six weeks I have had two failures of Firefox [running current version 146.0 (aarch64)] in completing CC payment processes -- at least one involved updating an expired car, I can't recall if the other involved such a change or just entering a card.

I am using Firefox on a mac mini M4 Pro running macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 (up to date, fully supported, but not Tahoe the recently released new version of macOS). I am running Firefox with 4 extensions -- 1 Password, Print Friendly, Raindrop.io, and Authenticator. None were being actively used during these incidents.

In both cases when I switched to Safari and opened the sites, I was able to successfully complete the CC changes and payments. So it does not appear to be related to a problem in my internet connection.

My questions are: a) has anyone had a similar experience with Firefox

     -- particularly incidents related to online financial transactions

b) if so, have you found a solution c) regardless, do you have any suggestions about the cause of the problem or changes to try

Otherwise, my experience with Firefox has been excellent and I am very happy with it, but this is obviously a frustrating and time-consuming problem.

I have reported it to Firefox -- the response was that they will look into it but that my next step should to ask "the community" here.

My thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Bob
