Firefox Community Forum

After I enter the email and password for Gemini account, Firefox requires my verification by entering passkey. I use the Authy 2factor system as security to enter the account. I did not set up a passkey for Gemini account. I did set up a passkey on Firefox for a different account with a different email. Does that passkey work for multiple accounts??. This does not seem very secure as all someone would need to enter my accounts is my pin, which would not be too difficult to discover.

Appreciate help on this issue of security. Thanks Henry

Hello, I'm reporting this issue for the 2nd time in as many days because it appeared to have corrected itself late yesterday, but is back again today.

In a nutshell, installing the new Firefox 141.0 update conflicts with the Reddit login procedure making it impossible to do so. Here is the issue as reported yesterday for more detail:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1524793

I followed the suggestions I was given, i.e. to try logging in at the Old Reddit site (https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/) and to disable my Adblock Plus extension, neither of which worked.

BTW, I tried logging into Reddit using another browser and it works fine.

So I performed another System Restore to eliminate the Firefox 141.0 update, then went into Firefox Settings and disabled "Automatically install updates", and can log into Reddit again with no problem.

Firefox is my preferred browser and Reddit is my preferred social media site, so I'll have to stop updating Firefox from this point on unless and until the developers correct the issue, or someone can provide insight into what's causing this and what to do about it.

Below are screen shots of the Reddit notices I get when trying to login with the Firefox 141.0 update installed:

There are many tabs open in the firefox window. I'm closing the firefox. I'm opening it again.All tabs opened during the previous opening disappear.Either a new page or a single tab opens. The settings are set to "Open previous windows and tabs" (Image 1)

I go to "Firefox View" ---"Open tabs". (image 2) I see 2-5 windows there.In this case, there are 3 windows.WINDOW 1 is my main window with the tabs that should have been saved and opened when firefox was launched again. I close all tabs from unnecessary windows with a cross.Only window 1 remains. But when restarting, an empty or different window opens again.And again, there are a lot of unnecessary and incomprehensible windows on the list. Previously, a window with restored tabs from the previous session always opened. Question: 1)How can I restore the normal recovery of the previous session when restarting? 2) Tell me.I can somehow switch between windows (Firefox View" ---"Open tabs)(Image 1) Thank you.

I just lost all of my bookmarks and am unable to add new bookmarks. I am not aware that I made any changes, nor was anyone else using this computer, they simply disappeared. When I log into a familiar site and hit add bookmark, nothing happens. Also, if I go to manage bookmarks and attempt to manually add the book mark it doesn't work. Any suggestions? I prefer to use Firefox as my browser, but will have to switch if I can't resolve this!

When i browse for anything that has some location, like a restaurant, city, or whatever, there is seemingly no way to access google maps for that site from the page. There used to be mutliple ways to go to google maps for that thing either by a "map" text button in the menu under the search bar, or by clicking the thumbnail of tha map you can see in the right of my example. now i have to go specifically search for maps, then search again for the thing there. Why did you make these changes? and will you ever revert/find a solution for this? Its actually such an annoyance for me as much of the searching i do is for looking up places. and related information about those places. If i am missing some functionality or alternative please let me know.

YouTube videos encoded at 60 frames per second are extremely choppy in Firefox only. Microsoft Edge plays the same videos perfectly.

I have deleted my profile and reinstalled Firefox, updated graphics driver to the latest version, and toggled hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing helps.

I am facing this issue that When I am using google map on firefox on PC, change to street view by dropping a orange person mark. The map changes to satellite view by mouse scroll down a couple of times automatically. How can I avoid to changing? It doesn't happen on Chrome, Edge and even Brave.

I had to reset Firefox because of a hack to my FB account. I've recreated all of the icons I use but Gmail won't add since Google doesn't think my desktop is one of my devices. I can receive Gmail if I use Chrome. I've tried reaching Google by leaving messages @ the Freemont office in Seattle but thought maybe Mozilla had an answer. Thanks for listening.

Hello everybody, I'm facing some problems with the camera settings: when accessing vcall sites (e. g. zoom or google meet) they don't ask permissions for the camera, it looks like I have no camera installed, which is not true, of course, and in fact with Ungoogled Chromium everything works fine. When trying to add manually the sites in the whitelist nothing happens, they're simply ignored. On the other side, the microphone settings work properly. Thanks in advance for any support.

Regards from Italy

Last week I lost all of my bookmarks. It was suggested to log back in and that retrieved my bookmarks in the tool bar. When I click on the black star in browser to save a new bookmark none of my bookmarks show up? Why are they in my tool bar but missing from the save bookmark option? Marty

I have logged into my account on three computers: personal linux, personal windows, and work. Previously, I could easily disable the extension on one computer and it continued to work on others. Now, when the "Plasma integrations" extension is disabled on Windows computers, it is also disabled on linux. If I disable some extensions on my work computer, it will also be disabled on my personal computers. If I disable extension synchronization on my work computer, it will also be disabled on others. That is, if I log in to my account on a new device, I will have to manually install extensions. Question: How can I return to the old behavior, when it was possible to disable installed extensions on only one device?

I recently installed Firefox for security reasons, but I now realize it might be not better than other browsers... I had a (good) number of tabs opened in 12 Simple Tab Groups, which were opening all right everytime I restarted my computer. But today, Firefox opened and oh, all my tabs have disappeared ! All 12 Simple Tab Groups are empty. In the Recently Closed Tabs in History, I only could find and reopen 26 tabs - a very small part of the tabs I had... Please, tell me if there is a solution to recover all my tabs. Is the problem with Firefox or with the Simple Tab extension?

I have a Snowflake add-on, which requires WebRTC for connections. But WebRTC is not permanently active in my Firefox browser. See image. I activate WebRTC by toggling the config variable media.peerconnection.enabled into 'true' and the add-on works. For some time, only! After a couple of days it is back to 'WebRTC not detected'. What is wrong?

For the past 2 months I've found it very difficult to sign into my Hotmail account using Firefox. Microsoft keep telling me to use a VPN or another device. I like answering emails on my computer because of its large screen. I've tried signing in about 2000 times now. Firefox told me they can't help me because I'm not a Mozilla subscriber even though they own Firefox. Microsoft told me it's Mozilla's problem. Can anyone help me please. John in the Philippines.

Hi all, I'm really confused. I posted about this the other day, but it doesn't look like that topic got any views, and I have a bit more information, so I'm starting a new topic here. When I click on a link in an email, whether that be from Thunderbird or Outlook, Firefox opens as expected, but none of my settings appear to carry over. That means I don't have access to my browsing history, it prompts if Firefox should use Zoom to open links which should already be set, and other things that act like Firefox is not customized yet, even though it's been my default browser for years now. Additionally, I'm not sure if Chrome got set as my default browser or if it asks every time it detects another browser is open, but it asked me again today if I wanted to set it as my default. I had Chrome open because I use it when interacting with the Google applications for my work. When I went in to set the default file types for Firefox, two Firefox options showed up, so I'm not sure which one to choose. Can someone please help with this?

Hello: I recently reloaded Windows 10 onto a PC and reinstalled Microsoft Office 2010. Outlook is working fine, but will not be the email for sending links in Firefox. Outlook does not show up in the list of options for sending email links in Firefox. It is the default email program in the Settings. It worked seamlessly previously. Any suggestions? Thank you.
