Firefox Community Forum

When searching inside a webpage the color of the item found hardly distinguishable with my theme. I tried to modify the ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention parameter of config. No results. The color stays the same old one.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:156.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/156.0

Win 11 Home 26H2 26300.9550 and Firefox 157.0 or higher.

This problem exists for me, in FF 157.0, FF 157.0.1, and FF 159.0a1

Never saw this issue before FF 157.0

I 'always' save my edited images to my desktop, prior to uploading them to a website. Doesn't matter what image editor I use.

MY problem is "uploading" those images to TenForums and ElevenForum. The upload dialog, before FF 157.0, would always look on the desktop for the image I wanted to upload.

Since FF 157.0... if I save anything to any drive, and then try to upload an image to a website like ElevenForum, the upload dialog will look for the image(s) on whatever drive I saved something to.

Workaround: I restart Firefox AND browse once to my desktop, where the image is located. Then it looks on my desktop every time for images I want to upload... ...UNTIL I save anything to any partition on my drives, then MY problem returns.

I see this problem when uploading images to elevenforum.com and tenforums.com Drag & Drop (in 11Forum), works fine, probably because when I drag & drop I'm declaring the file path automatically. I only see the problem in... Attach > and the upload dialog

This is very hard to explain. I export my bookmarks to F:\Bookmarks After doing that, instead of looking on my desktop where the images are, it looks for them in F:\Bookmarks.

If I save anything (like a text file), on any drive/partition... when I try to upload an image on my desktop to ElevenForum.com the upload dialog doesn't look for the image on my desktop.

I don't see this issue on FF 156.0.1 or any version before FF 157.0

Hei!

I have used firefox.localhost to test my html page containing some JavaScript.

Now suddenly (it has worked nicely many times) it claims that there is not connection:

I also tried the "BlueFox" (developer version) and the response was exactly the same.

Firefox was just yesterday updated. OS is Windows 11.

Here the response text:

" Unable to connect

Firefox can’t connect to the server at firefox1.localhost What can you do about it?

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web

Ok this latest UI appearance change is absolute dog feces. I hate it so much! It's so ugly! How do I change it back? I did not consent for my eyeballs to be assaulted like this. Did I mention it sucks? How do I change it back? 157.0.0.11

Hello,

For some inexplicable reason, when I visit any Wikipedia page (as of Thursday 8th October 2026), the pages display with a huge oversized font that also impacts the format and layout of the page in my browser. I have not made any adjustments on my PC to increase font display size. Wikipedia is the ONLY website that displays in this manner.

I am running Firefox 115.42.0esr (64-bit), which appears to indicate Firefox is up-to-date on my Windows 8.1 desktop PC. Please note that I am still running Windows 8.1 on this device out of choice.

I reported the fault initially to Wikipedia itself, and the response is that any fault is at my end. I have visited the same Wikipedia pages via Chrome Version 109.0.5414.168 (Official Build) (64-bit) and the pages display normally.

I have attached a sample screenshot to illustrate.

Any ideas how I can resolve this issue please?

Many thanks - Dean

You guys are doing really good. BUt I'm going to have to say- If it ain't broke don't fix it. Why change the shape of the grouped tabs icon??? Without having even a option to change it back or to something else entirely. Was there someone specifically asking for that appearance update? Can we as users have an option to not have that unpleasing, google-reminiscent* shape set for the grouped tabs? Please?

I am using Firefox 157.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10. When I browse papers on https://www.sciencedirect.com(https://www.sciencedirect.com) and click the "View PDF" button, the page that opens is completely blank. The same PDF loads normally in Microsoft Edge.

I have already tried troubleshooting steps: I cleared cookies for this website and disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for [sciencedirect.com](https://sciencedirect.com), but the blank page issue still exists.

Thank you for your attention and assistance.

I am trying to change my default search engine to Firefox and it isn't allowing me. What could be preventing this? and how do I get around it? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, On many financial sites I get comments like "We understand the importance of viewing your statements through online banking, we will be glad to assist. Upon reviewing your account, the reason why you are getting an error message is due to using Firefox web browser. Firefox is not compatible with our system, please use Google Chrome, Safari, or Microsoft edge. If you have any further questions please contact us."

We, you and I, know that Firefox is an excellent browser. We want to continue using it.

Who at Firefox has the authority to ask these sites, I could provide an example, how Firefox can rectify this so that we don't have to change browsers?

When viewing a PDF in Firefox the URL bar indicates the file was downloaded to a temporary folder. If I then select "Save" from the PDF toolbar; or if I right click and select "Save page as" it opens a save dialog to the location I previously saved the same category of PDF to. For example I have separate folders for invoices, if the PDF is my electricity invoice it somehow knows and opens the electricity folder. If it is a water invoice, it automatically opens the water folder.

Whilst this is indeed quite handy, I do not understand how Firefox is doing this; nor do I understand whether this may be a privacy risk in some circumstances and should therefore be configurable.

I have not been able to log into: http://www.kerncountylibrary.org after having able to do so for the last decade. When I attempt to open the site to log in, Firefox asks me to choose a file to open the site. This has been happening for the last several days.

I have these kind of icon artifact on google maps for long time now, even with the latest 157.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10

Seen it on other domains too that uses gmaps.

Videos and HW acceleration seems to work fine even with 1080p videos.

what can cause them?

Today I upgraded to v157 and since then can't download files properly. I thought it wasn't doing anything, but on checking my Downloads folder found that it was saving files in there but with random file names and adding .part to the end. My settings haven't changed, "always ask" is checked, but it doesn't ask me where to save, just puts it in Downloads. This has never happened before. I tried changing the file download location and it downloaded to the specified folder but still without asking). I can remove the .part and the file will open, but I don't know how to stop it doing this. I never had this problem before upgrading to 157. Can someone tell me how to fix this or is it a glitch in v157? Many thanks
