The top row in Firefox browser doesn't have any tabs, it looks as pictured in screenshot (Chrome below for comparison). I only see the icon and text for a page, but that isn't enough to know clickable area, and it makes it unintuitive.

I tried several browser themes but none of them changes this. There doesn't seem to be a setting for hardware acceleration anymore that used to solve it for some users in the past based on a search on topic.

Maybe this really is how it's meant to look but the design just went backwards from what we want to see; tabs are no longer tabs but something vague. Can never please everyone i suppose, but i want old back.

after fire fox update, enhancer for you tube video speed control does not work, when changed to faster speed, speeds up for a milli second then returns to 1X speed,

I asked this about four months ago, and did not get any answer, so I am asking again. Sorry for the repetition.

Here is the problem: when I highlight a short passage of text (~3-4 words), and right-click, the context menu always shows the translation entry as "Translate to Dutch". (See first image.) If I accept that, the input language is assumed to be English, so I actually have to change both drop-downs. (See second image.)

If the passage is long enough (> ~4-5 words), the context menu will show "Translate to English", which is what I want, and as an aside, Firefox is almost always correct in detecting the input language.

I can understand it being hard to detect the input language from a short phrase, but why does the output language default to Dutch? And is there a way to change this behavior?

Thanks.

Hello, I used to have the VPN button but now I don't. I'm on Firefox v158.0 in the USA, on my personal laptop (so no enterprise policies to interfere). Here's what I've tried:

• Customize toolbar: no, the icon isn't in there either
• Start Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode
• Refresh Firefox
• Ensure "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is on
• Sign out and back in to my Mozilla/Firefox account

I miss this feature already because it makes me feel better about using public wifi. What else can I try?

Thanks!

Hi Firefox Team and Forum,

I'm planning on using Firefox on a shared device (Windows 11 with common login shared with other people), however, I'm concerned that signing into my Firefox account and syncing the passwords will create a local folder on the shared device with the passwords on my Firefox account.

Is there a way to NOT have the passwords stored locally on the shared device? Or will the passwords be deleted from the shared device everytime I sign out from the Firefox browser?

If this is not possible on the current version of Firefox, are there any plans to implement it? Chrome can delete the locally stored passwords after signing out.

Thank you

Would you please share any Firefox-specific fix for my Windows 7 laptop.

I did exact comparison of printing (using same printer) Firefox 115.43.0 web pages (which no longer print)  and Opera version 95.0.4635.90 web pages that print fine.

I use my Brother MFC‑J895DW wirelessly with Windows 7 laptop. Firefox shows “Print Preview Error”; Firefox’s XPS file won’t open, while Opera’s XPS file opens and prints.

I also tried a fresh profile, Troubleshoot Mode, resetting printer settings, and reinstalling Firefox. Still can't get Firefox web pages to print.

FYI, my Windows 10 desktop is able to get Firefox web pages to print on same Brother device.

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

I recently updated to Firefox 158.0 on my MacOS, which is on OS 27.0.1 and all of a sudden, my Prime Video home page won't play videos. It just shows the spinny circle where I should be able to hit play, and in fact I cannot click on anything on the page. I can close it and open amazon again, but as soon as I go to Prime Video, it freezes up. I've tried deleting cookies and clearing the cache, restarting my Mac, but nothing seems to help.

Firefox 158.0 (aarch64) just installed and my Search History has changed - I seem to have lost "Yesterday" - only "Today" and "Last 7 Days" appear before the month by month display options. Cannot spot anything in the Release Notes about this. Is this an accidental change? I find "Yesterday" very useful.

Thanks. RichardT

Two days ago I closed FF and went to bed. I opened it the next morning and lost about 20 tabs. Ever since then, every time I restart FF, I lose all tabs except for one default tab.

TLDR: 1. "restore previous session" is not available. 2. Toggling Settings/Home and Startup does nothing. 3. Update? My FF automatically updates. 4. "about:sessionrestore" finds nothing,

1. FF help said I could go into History and click "Restore Previous Session" but that option doesn't exist. All I can do is look at History and see lists for today, yesterday, last 7 days etc.

2. Another advisory suggested Settings, Home and Startup, select "Open previous windows and tabs". but it was already selected. So I switched it off, restarted FF and then switched it back on. I still lose all tabs every time I restart FF.

3. Another advisory suggested, checking for updates. My FF automatically updates.

4. I tried "about:sessionrestore" It returns with the heading: "Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back." Restore session is greyed out and "View previous tabs" produces an empty list. I've tried it a few times now, identical result.

Thanks for any help. Cheers, Andrew

Is there a list of active Firefox / Mozilla mailing lists? Specifically, I was hoping to get onto a list that highlighted each release and critical security issues. But it seems like there should be a web page that lists what communication channels Firefox uses (to include mailing lists) but I can't find one.

This error message appeared on login. "<title>Error</title>

How should I deal with the problem?

What causes Firefox to do a refresh. I stepped away from my PC for 15 minutes and found FIrefox doing a refresh when I returned. Lost all of settings. Putting the icons on tool bar where you want them is one of the frustrating things I have done in a long time and now, I get to make all my settings changes over again plus try to get the tool bar icons where I want them.

After the recent Firefox upgrade a couple of days ago, I am unable to get to my Questrade login page. I click login, I get a white page with a message in bottom left hand corner "transferring data from login.questrade.com..." and no further response. I am able to login with MS Edge, and Firefox is able to access all my other websites except this one.

I have run through all the things to try in the Firefox support article "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" to no effect.

• cleared cookies & cache
• cleared recent history
• turned off DNS over HTTPS
• Disable IPv6- changed to true
• changed Proxy settings to No Proxy

I've turned off Bitdefender firewall and antivirus apps to no effect and ran a full system scan with Bitdefender. I really don't want to have to use a different browser each time I want to access questrade site. I would really appreciate any advice as to what else I could try to resolve this issue. Thanks so much!
