About three days ago, the dropdown lists for various websites I use stopped populating unless I use the backspace. So, for instance, if I want to find "John", nothing happens if I just start to type it in. But if I type in "Jo" and then backspace, John pops up. (Perhaps important: Even though I have now deleted the "o", only John pops up, not names beginning with J but followed by a different letter.) Curiously, it seems like the first time each day that I go onto any given website, the dropdown does populate properly, but just that once. I checked Edge and Chrome, and the dropdowns work fine there, so it's definitely a Firefox problem. Any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Hello,
Recently Firefox tends to start autoplaying a YouTube video if I am on the tab.
Before it would not play the video if i am on the tab unless I physically press play.
It still works if I open a YouTube video in a tab that is not active, it will not autoplay, but as soon as I hover over and click on that tab it will start playing, however I do not want this to happen, I want it to pretty much always be autoplay blocked regardless if tab is active or not and I want to physically press play in order for it to start.
How to revert it to that state?
My block audio and video setting in firefox is already turned on, not sure what to do, pretty sure I did nothing on my end.
Right now I have to use extension called "disable autoplay" just to get by.
Thanks guys!
I've tried all of the fixes to make the scrollbar wider, but none of them have worked. Anyone have something else to try?

I have updated before no problem with transfer of emails, folders, address books, settings, history, cookies etc BUT THIS LATEST UPDATE HAS LOST ME SO much information AND IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. Program opens but does nothing except greying out with (not responding) and closes. Done reinstall twice an with no applications running. Kindly send me 10 year old version so I can roll back to something that works. Regards Rick

Ever since I migrated to Windows 11, I've been having problems. The Bookmarks pulldown menu is VERY widely spaced vertically compared to Windows 7, and I have so many bookmarks, I have to scroll down below the level of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen to reach them all. I was cleaning up my bookmarks, when I noticed that I moved just enough folders into a Miscellaneous folder at the bottom of the list, that it is just at the level of the taskbar and is hidden beneath it. However, the Bookmarks pulldown thinks it's within the resolution of my screen, so no button for scrolling down appears. Firefox needs to sense the size of the screen ABOVE the level of the taskbar, and place the scroll down button appropriately.
As I finished typing this, though, I went to put in a pic, and now the pulldown menu scroll buttons come up properly (albeit placing them over the level of the taskbar). There's some bug hidden in there that prevented it from working properly for 15 minutes, probably carried over from the Manage Bookmarks menu, because after I was moving folders into the Miscellaneous folder in Manage Bookmarks, it wouldn't allow me to expand the Miscellaneous folder to see the folders I moved were actually moved in there, and F5 (refresh) didn't work. That's probably why the scroll buttons didn't come up. The Manage Bookmarks needs a Refresh button at the very least.
Also, if there's any way to make the spacing between bookmarks configurable (like with a single-spaced option instead of the 1.x spacing currently being used), that would be great, and I could put my old bookmarks back where they belong. Always remember, instead of just changing things, keep the old setting and make a selectable option out of it. If it's a Microsoft issue, you need to figure out a workaround. When you're dealing with a 4K desktop, like I am, big changes are REALLY big. Thanks in advance.
Can I change the setting so the I don't have the arrows in the box "Antal"?

Hi, the official Firefox docs recommend copying and restoring the entire profile directory. That doesn't work when restoring a profile created on Linux, on Mac, it seems. Neither for Thunderbird, by the way.
Is there a proper way to do this, or should I experiment with each of the files (databases, configurations, etc.) one by one? Thanks!

I've lost a previous session because firefox updated. This happens all the time. I've lost so much time and work due to restore previous session button being grayed out. Is there a way to go back? Or do I have to try to find all of the tabs one by one in history? Is there any other way? I never get my work back like that. It's so frustrating. I'm going completely crazy from this. Any help would be very appreciated.
I need to go back two sessions. Is there any way to access that?
I also lose everything every time I restart. If I'm not careful any immediately restore previous session, I lose it. Is there any way to fix this issue? To make firefox remember and restart in the previous session instead of starting a new one and deleting the previous one?

wondered if anyonme can help.
Firefox keeps automatically changing my search engine from google, to bing. My defualt engine is goole, i have deleted bing, but everytime i type anything in the search bar, it goes to google, and then quickly changes to bing. I cant even copy and paste a google search from chrome, as it just changed that to bing too!!
I have tried everything and nothing works.... i hate bing and do not want to use it, so why is firefox forcing me too?? PLEASE HELP!!

Good Morning,
I am curious. When searching through backup in the bookmark section. Firefox keeps a list of backups in Crtl+Shift O.
In the restore file, under restore and backup, it shows ( 959 bytes - 11 items).
The 11 items what are those exactly?
When deleting browser history, nothing in the number changes. I am just wanting to make sure that the 11 items are in fact "Book Mark" related and not browser history related. My partner is accusing me of deleting "Items" or clearing my browser history. Since she can't see 11 items in there she assumes I deleted things or used a private browser...
I keep getting after every crash:

For Windows version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 If using Firefox Version 113.0.1 (64-bit) in Windows 10 and in the following state:
Firefox is open and window is maximized. Firefox Full Screen is toggled OFF. Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled ON.
Then the Windows taskbar will not display when the cursor is place at the bottom of the monitor screen. If the Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled OFF. Then the Windows taskbar will also not display. Changing the ON/OFF state of any other Windows taskbar display setting in any combination does not fix the failure.

Hello! I have a problem with latest version of FireFox (118.0.1). I have a website running at https://localhost:7230. And Asp .Net Core backend running at http://localhost:5205/, the authorization is configured to use NTLM.
From the frontend I call: const response = await axios.get("http://localhost:5205/Users/GetUser", {
params: null, withCredentials: true
});
and it works in Chrome and in previous FireFox 117.0.1, but doesn't work in FireFox 118.0.1.
I've checked the request-headers, they are the same except for the version in User-Agent. I guess this has something to do with the security settings. I looked at the patch notes but didn't see anything similar to my problem.
What was changed in the latest version and how can I fix this?
