Firefox Community Forum

You haven't provided an off switch for this "thumbnail preview image of the webpage" on my taskbar? I don't want anything dropping down from my task bar on hovering over it.

This is a new thing, that Firefox for some reason thought was a good idea. Mouse hovering on my taskbar, and have a drop down thumbnail preview image of the webpage?

Thank you all in advance...  :)

Seriously? How many updates do you need? We're getting what... 1-2 per week? That's some smegging awful coding. Why not do something mildly intelligent that makes it look like your software isn't full of crap, like only putting in /at most/ one update a month? 1-2 a week makes Mozilla look worst than a Mickey Mouse operation. Hell, worse than a Betty Boop. Unless there's some super-critical omega-level security hole that needs to be plugged, you shouldn't have to have me update my browser more than twice a year.

Show some sense already.

Is there a way to remove the thumbtacks and rounded edges off the shortcuts in the newest version?

I love Firefox otherwise, but the thumbtacks look terrible and are distracting. I use the shortcuts dozens of times daily to open my most frequent sites.

Please remove the thumbtacks and overly rounded edges in the new version.

Is there a way to hide the thumbtacks?

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox or Google problem, I'm guessing Firefox because it doesn't happen in Chrome.

Every time I try to login to google in Firefox it auto logs me into a specific account, I don't mean it is already logged in, I'm logged out and where the blank field is to enter your account username(email) the drop down pops up and shows all the gmail accounts and picks one on its own then procedes to the next page for the password on its own. It's like someone took control of the mouse and was doing it for me. Really pisses me off because I'm trying to login to a different account and it chooses the same one every time and I can't choose. If this is some kind of auto login feature please tell me how to turn it off.

It seems to me that Firefox's DoH implementation is not just pointless but actually harmful. It is security theater. Let me explain:

• There is no fine-grained control
• There is no ability for the user to choose what level applies to what networks
• Default Protection provides no protection when there is a canary domain (trivial)
• Increased Protection provides no protection when the default provider fails (trivial)
• Max Protection requires manual intervention when the default provider fails
• Bonus: it's inconvenient or impossible to use on mobile

For DoH to be useful, the user has to invest effort they could better spend setting up a proper system-level solution.

I had a Firefox update yesterday, April 29th. Since then, my Bookmarks sidebar no longer opens automatically when I open my Firefox browser. I have to go to the sidebar icon at the upper right of my screen to open the Bookmarks. I went to my settings, and the box for automatic opening was not checked. I checked the box, and it still does not function. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and what the solution could be?

The latest firefox update introduced tab groups, something I've been eagerly waiting for ever since chrome released it!

However, my firefox's tab groups don't hide the tabs correctly. In the video demo I see that when you click on the name of the tab group, it should collapse all the tabs and hide them.

In my firefox, when I click the tab group name, the tabs don't get hidden as expected.

Here is a video that shows the bug I'm referencing: https://imgur.com/a/8ewW1a2

I tried disabling all my extensions and restarting firefox, also tried in private mode, and it still was having the same experience.

Are there any about:config settings that I might have accidentally changed that could be causing this?

Thanks!

The Password Manager is very good, but...

It needs two additional fields.

1) a field for a website name or a note.

2) a 2nd username or email address.

For example, I just added the login information for Bluesky Social. However, "bluesky" is not part of the url. If I later search for "blue" the correct login will not be shown.

Also, the login allows for input of a username or email address. The PW manager should store both.

the tab groups feature doesn't work. WHen i drag one tab onto another, nothing happens, other than the tabs go back and forth. Can't put one tab over another and no group is created.

I've looked at this page:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars

It shows the toolbar customization page like in the attached image I've named Customize Toolbar.

In my Firefox (138.0.1 64-bit on Windows 11), it looks like what I'm showing in the attached image I've named My Customize Toolbar.

I like the background shown in the Mozilla documentation. I hate the background I've got. I didn't choose that color. I have no idea where it's coming from. I sure would like to change that disgusting color to white.

How do I do that?

I would like to reiterate everything said below. This needs to be a standard feature. This seems like a no-brainer and should be a standard function on any browser. It only shows that Mozilla is getting left behind, even Edge has this feature, what makes it worse...IE had this feature and that is considered ancient tech now. from: kenmendell Now that I've got you and we're on the subject, Firefox seriously, MOST seriously, needs to bring back the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and have a "Save All Tabs" command of its own. There are no third-party apps and Add-Ons that do this very well anymore or at all, the older ones that used to do this no longer work well or at all. Firefox needs them in the browser to stay. It's never been the same without the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and trying to "Save All Tabs" the same way you would save a single page with "Save Page As" is frustratingly impossible to do. Any older Add-On or program that did this no longer works well or at all and hasn't for almost a decade or longer. It needs to be a standard function of any advanced browser. Firefox needs these functions as the normal standard. So, bring this up with your design team as an imperative because my having to migrate to these other lesser capable browsers the way others have doesn't appeal to me when Firefox should be a decade beyond their design and development, especially for functions that shouldn't be difficult hurdles for any modern browser to have.

Greetings...

I am a frequent user of multiple tabs whenever I use Firefox. As a result, the new Tab Groups feature interests me, primarily if it will help my to organize and manage my multiple open tabs. Initially, I have the following specific questions.

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of tabs that a Tab Group can contain?

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of Tab Groups that can be open at the same time?

Q: Does the use of one or more Tab Group negatively affect the performance of my web browser?

Q: Can a Tab Group be bookmarked? (Periodically, I need to bookmark a group of open tabs and I am currently able to do so by selecting all of the tabs then bookmarking them as a set.)

Q: Does the new Tab Groups feature represent a way to reduce the number of open tabs that appear at the top of my web browser - basically, a way for multiple open tabs to occupy a smaller space versus scrolling them across the top of my web browser?

Thank you very much for your feedback! Take care...

Since the last update to 136, home screen shortcuts are awful. Icons are smaller, but that is not the main issue. Biggest issue is the text below icons: I do not need it, it just confuse my view, so since this morning I have missed 3-4 times my favourite sites! It is not good. Please consider rollback the look from previous version, now I have to downgrade Firefox

Lately I've had to reload/refresh pages more frequently because of download issues. In order to the in FF I need to press the F5 key. To do the same thing in either Edge or Chrome all I need to do is right click and a little popup screen shows me the reload/refresh right there. Much more convenient to use. FF should use a similar technique.

I recently decided to try vertical tabs in Firefox, and can't find a way to search these tabs as I could when they were horizonal, with the downward pointing arrowhead. If this is a feature, please let me know how to add it to my sidebar, and if not, it would be great if this feature could be developed. Thanks!
