Firefox Community Forum

I found old posts about this from 2012 or so, but nothing for current version of Firefox I have been using Firefox for years. This has suddenly started happening on my laptop. Annoyingly it also displays the same configuration pop-up with various screens you have to go through, clicking Skip this step before you can start browsing. I reset the Home Page to my preference. But next time I start Firefox it reverts to the Welcome and forgets all settings.

When I sign in from my desktop I forgot my password and by clicking on forgot password And I saw different mobile no had been added so how can I change my mobile number so that the code can come on my new mobile number

This mandatory upgrade completely illustrates the point of why so many never did. Upgrades tend to lose functionality- add-ons, etc, that we're accustomed to and still work quite well with don't function anymore with browser upgrades, and there's no viable replacement available so we stick with what works and find other ways to compensate for any perceived vulnerabilities. Now, like Microsoft, you're forcing consumers to do things they never wanted to and taking away the reasons for using this browser to begin with. Given that we've been able to use older versions for years with no issues, there's no sugarcoating that this is all on you, Mozilla. Calling this course of action disappointing is a gross understatement and nothing more than keeping things polite.

Hi,

I've noticed that Firefox is no longer performing all the functions of some website. For example, when I use the Kaiser payment website, everything works until I enter my payment info. When I use the CA DMV app, it stops working after I enter the my username, password, and security code. In all cases, the website returns to the Login or Enter-Data screen. There are no error codes, just an endless loop of attempts to login or pay.

Firefox used to work on all of these websites. This error started happening on the prior-to-last update - currently on 135.0. It started happening before I updated my MacBook Pro to Sequoia 15.3. Still, the same thing happens on my Windows 10 HP laptop at work.

I am able to get full functionality on these websites when I use the Chrome browser. But, I like Firefox's functionality and security better! :-(

Firefox has recently become unreadable--it is blurry, then clear, blurry, then clear. It has become unusable. I've moved on to Edge. After much research, it is apparent that this is a problem unique to Firefox, who hasn't bothered to address or correct this issue. No more Firefox for me:(

I have used Firefox for years, and especially since the ability to pin tabs was created. After this last update I experienced an issue on one website, which the tab is pinned, that was not present before. After putting things into my shopping cart, I click on the shopping cart and if the original tab is pinned then the shopping cart opens in a new tab. Before this latest update Firefox was smarter than that.

Hello, I am using the current version of Firefox on my desktop PC (Windows 11 Home). I am using google as the search engine. I do not have any Mozilla, Google, or any other account information in Firefox. I have Firefox configured to NOT save any personal data. I have Firefox configured to delete ALL history (everything on the list) when I close Firefox.

When I select a link in the browser and it opens a new tab, I am asked for my google password. I don't have a google password to give it. I just close the request. This used to happen off and on "a while back" but stopped. It started again. Today, it has happened every time I open another website. It is driving me nuts.

I searched the web and found many similar complaints for this on the mobile version of Firefox. The suggested solution (disable "Close Private Tabs") does not appear to apply to the desktop version. If it does, I cannot find the setting.

I have tried restarting the browser. It didn't work. I have tried restarting the PC. It didn't work. I even tried turning the lights for my front porch off and back on again. It didn't work either!

Any ideas about what is causing this behavior or what I can do to make it stop?

BTW, I have two PCs in the house. Both are kept current regarding OS and application updates. Both have same OS. The behavior I described only happens on one of them...

I would appreciate any ideas you may have.

For tab settings I have checked these: Open links in tabs instead of new windows When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately

In the past links opened in new tab immediately. But now some links open in SAME tab immediately. For example: I open https://www.pbs.org/livestream/ and start watching the livestream. When I click the link On Air Schedule It opens immediately in the same tab, which ends my livestream

I've been using Firefox for many years with no problems. Recently, there have been frequent tab crashes. I've noted this problem before, and sent reports, but no fixes ever seem to be forthcoming. This makes me question whether I should continue using Firefox. The times I've switched to Edge, it hasn't crashed.

Firefox keeps locking up, for want of a better description. It will minimize itself, and when I go to click on it, it will not open/maximimize or let me use it. It then also won't allow itself to be closed (by using the only option available, the x on the taskbar icon). I end up having to restart my computer to get it to go away and then work properly (for a little while) when I restart. Firefox used to be my favorite browser, but I'm getting really frustrated. It's updated and still won't work properly. Help. Please.

Is there a way to make the popup that opens when you click on 'Manage Bookmarks' open up to a different folder than 'Other Bookmarks'? There is nothing in that folder. ever. Why cannot we open it to 'Bookmarks Menu'? or whatever? thanks, terry

I downloaded Firefox about 2 weeks ago. I imported my passwords, bookmarks, etc. from Chrome, but nothing had shown up. (I did the troubleshoot reset to fix the bookmark issue.) So I just figured I'd save them as I go. Every time I'm prompted to save my password, I do, but it's never actually saved. When I tried to manually enter the password, it says there's an error. I've checked the settings multiple times and everything is correct. I receive a little message at the top of the passwords' page, that says I need to log in, when I am, then that I need to log in with my primary password that was never set up. I've read all of the password help articles and nothing applies to my issues. I don't have any apps blocking it. (I do know on Edge and Chrome, I'm prompted to put in my desktop password but I don't get that on Firefox.) Is there something I can do to fix this? I want to use Firefox, but it's been too buggy from the get-go.

I have a link provided by a web site I use. Through Firefox it takes me to a Mimecast authentication screen that asks for my email, then tells me to contact my IT department. This is my home internet. I can access the link through Safari. I'm stumped.
