Firefox Community Forum

It has been some time since I've used my Mozilla browser and cannot recall what I would have set my master password as. I have tried every password I would have used to no avail. I tried the account recovery with my gmail.com email, but the error message that I keep reaching says that I need the account I would've signed up with? If I enter a completely not related email, I get the proper message that there is no account associated. Being how long it has been, it's not a serious issue to even have access to old credentials, I definitely just want to access my account.

Thank you!

Previously, I was able to click on an image in a page, then it would appear below that pre-click. Then, if I wanted to view the image link, it would open that link in a new tab. Now, for some reason, when I try to click to the new location, it opens it in my existing tab, rather than a new tab. How can I fix that?

Recently an update made it to where closing a tab group no longer works. It closes MOST of the tab group, leaving the last used one active along with a number to the right such as "+3" to show there are three more tabs hidden. This completely defeats the purpose of being able to close the tab group in the first place. In order to get around this, you have to click another tab to make it active and only then will the tab group you tried to close, actually close. Is there a way to disable this behavior so that closing tab groups actually works?

Assuming there is no fix, how can I downgrade to a previous version without losing all my settings, bookmarks, etc? Can I just uninstall the broken version and install the older version?

Thanks!

On Linux, clicking the X in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox display, or entering CTRL-W kills Firefox with no warning. It would be nice if there was an alert that came up asking "Are you sure if you want to kill Firefox?". Or at least add an option for this in Settings.

I was excited to receive the new Tab Groups feature and am now disappointed that it's not working and I've 'lost' dozens of tabs.

Here's what I did: I created several groups by right-clicking and added tabs to each of the groups. Since it appears that only way to collapse a group is to "save and close group," I closed each group. Now they are all gone. When I right-click to create a new group or "add tab to group," the closed groups are nowhere to be found. Plus, I do not see a "list all tabs icon" on my toolbar to reopen the grouped tabs, which is what [article] says should happen.

Suggestions for making this work?

Updated to esr 128.14 Now Reddit (Redgifs) Hosting site for gifs crashes Firefox and cripples my PC. I've tried restarting in safe mode, then refreshing Firefox. Nothing is working. Reddit support just has an issue with the Gifs not playing, but nothing as extreme as what iam experiencing. I believe it may be something is preferences or a codec or something that was changed in the recent update. Any advice/ help would be great. Edit: OS is windows 10 latest updates Amd- Ryzen 7/32gig 3.20 ghz PC. So can handle a little bit of heavy browsing.. FF 128.14 esr Ext- Ublock Origin

Even with Addons disabled still occurs. Really at a loss here.

For some reason, though I have changed absolutely nothing with my browser, now any time a link is supposed to open automatically in a new tab, it opens in an entire new window. My mouse only has two buttons (Magic Mouse on Mac), so there is no way at all for this to be user error in that regard. The best example is in Gmail when you have multiple accounts signed in, you click the profile picture in the upper right and select a different account which then opens in a new tab. I notice that when I use a fresh profile the issue goes away, and migrating a copy of my existing profile between different Firefox versions (this profile I use in 115 ESR exclusively, I don't use it with more than one version, I just mean for testing purposes here), including forks like Waterfox, all are affected by this issue. Is there something in about:config I should look for to change?

In the last 4 or 5 days, I have been besieged by pop-ups from a scam website (I imagine) called giuyt.co.nz asking me to renew my norton subscription or telling me a virus has been found or a trojan detected. None of this is true. I have run scans on my system and there are no viruses and no malware. I have been into programs and deleted one or two programs i dont use, I have cleared my cache I have been into notifications and cleared that. Nothing I can do stops this avalanche of pop-ups (about 1 every 2 minutes). Can anyone help me please?

I'm conducting research on the web but nothing is being recorded in my search history which is really annoying as I need to refer back to it at times. I can find it under recently closed tabs. Please can you advise what is going on?

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

I'm unable to login to account.apple.com on my laptop which is running Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.

I've launched Firefox using the `-p` option, created a new profile and then navigated to https://account.apple.com/sign-in and tried to login. I've attached a screenshot of the error message.

I had tried multiple things on my default profile, even troubleshoot mode, but I couldn't get it. I even tried useragent switcher to no avail.

I can login to the site using Chromium.

What else can I try?

Since the redesign a lot of thing don't work anymore.

In the menu at the right side with the dots important items e.g. bookmarks are not contained any more . How do I manage my bookmarks with the new Design? Is it possible to return to the old menu? Is there a manual explaining the new menu? The German help page online explains how it used to work.

I first noticed that things don't work anymore when I tried to download my subscribed newspaper in the app for this particular newspaper. Regards, Ute

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at mesp.finance.gov.bd.

Как видите, на предпросмотре лицо девушки нормальное, прозрачность хорошая, но когда я открываю вкладку, лицо девушки становится мутным. Как сделать прозрачным? как убрать эту мутность?

Hello! I will try to describe the problem in English and in Russian, I hope to get an answer and a solution on how to fix what I want. In Mozilla Firefox 68.0 or Firefox 68.12.0esr browser version, transparency is as in the preview when you hover over the tab, however, in Mozilla Firefox 142.0 or 142.0.1 when you open the tab, you will see a blurred or cloudy image.

As you can see, the girl's face is normal in the preview, the transparency is good, but when I open the tab, the girl's face becomes cloudy. How to make it transparent? how to remove this turbidity in Mozilla Firefox 142.0 or 142.0.1?

I posted 2 files. Blurry is Mozilla Firefox 142.0 or 142.0.1 Where it's transparent, it's old version Mozilla Firefox 68.0

Japanese characters usually do not render.

I can reproduce this issue by:

• going to the Wikipedia page for the katakana Unicode block.
• going to any YouTube comment with Japanese text.
• hovering over the screenshot of the YouTube comment so that the tooltip containing the name of the file is shown.

On YouTube the text renders only if 1.27916663885116563rem <= font-size <= 1.92083328962326036rem. Increasing `gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.max_generic_substitutions` from 3 to 99 allows some punctuation to render and makes the text take up horizontal space. Further increase of the value to 999 causes the interpunct to render in the Wikipedia page.
