Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

1. 1. System:

• • OS**: Debian (trixie)
  • Firefox version**: 148.0.b2
  • Audio works outside of Firefox **: yes
  • Audio works in Firefox **: no

1. 1. Taken steps:

1. Cleared cookies, cache, history 2. Restarted firefox 3. Started in "troubleshoot" mode

None of the steps worked and the sound is not beeing played (only in Firefox. Outside of firefox the sound works)

Version/OS: It happens across multiple Firefox versions, currently 140.3.1esr (64-bit) I should not use latest version because it is not recommended. On my Debian Linux 13 i recommended to install packages from a stable repository.

Issue: when i type some phrase into address bar to search for it, it opens a search engine homepage https://searx.rhscz.eu not search results page. I have added the SE to FF by visiting its search page, click address bar, empty it, click drop-down menu, select currently opened SE.

When I try the same search process using address bar for the second time and onward, then it opens search results page correctly. I think that this issue happens only on 1st search attempt since browser start.

I am having difficulty using Google Sheets within Firefox Developer Edition 144.0b4 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. When I load any of my Google Sheets, I am unable to scroll. This includes when using a blank sheet.

I also have Firefox 143.0.1, which seems to still be functioning correctly.

This started happening a few days ago.

I tried to drag a tab out of the main window to put it in its own window on my other monitor, but the tab just became unselectable, and if i scrolled in the tab bar, the tab icon and text would remain locked in place in the display while the other tabs moved behind it.

The main Firefox window also lost the minimize, restore, and close buttons. The only way to make the tabs work was to close Firefox and relaunch it.

I noticed this happened only after any app in the OS went full screen, be it a steam game, or another Firefox window, or a VLC window, or anything else that I did that made an app full screen in any of my monitors.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 with KDE Plasma 5.27.12. Kernel is 6.14.0-29. Display server is Wayland.

Initially I thought this could be a problem with the snap version of Firefox, so now I've installed the deb package, but the problem remains. Firefox is the only app which presents a problem of any kind when any window goes full screen.

Here's a video showing what the problem looks like, in case my description was not clear. The ghostly tab in this video is the chess.com home page and you can see it as the third tab from the top right of the video, and it remains in that position as i scroll the other tabs, completely unselectable with the mouse.

Any idea of what could be causing this issue to appear?

Thank you!
