I tried making a PWA ("Add tab to taskbar") for "https://discord.com/channels/@me," but when I launch it, it only navigates to "https://discord.com," which is a splash page that prompts you to either download the Discord desktop app or continue on the web (clicking to continue on web then takes you to ./channels/@me). Examining the desktop shortcut for the PWA confirms that the URL it targets is "https://discord.com"; however, changing this url manually in the shortcut then relaunching it STILL only navigates to the discord.com domain, not the full discord.com/channels/@me url path that I specified.

Can anyone else confirm whether PWAs can only currently target a domain, not a specific url path?

For years I have used Firefox to access my Bank of America online account. I am also using Quicken kinked to Bank of America. Today, when logged into bank of America, every action I take results in being sent back to the sign on screen. After clearing with Quicken Support as requested by BOA, I was directed to use a different browser which worked normally. I was told by BOA that the issue was with Firefox.

I have Verizon FIOS and have been able to receive cable channels on my laptop until recently. Now I cannot access them without a sign-in which leads to some sort of error that I don't understand. Any help?

My shortcuts no longer appear on my homepage. This just started happening. Shortcuts are still enabled in my settings. I refreshed Firefox. The shortcuts reappeared for a while, then disappeared again when I closed/reopened Firefox. I am on Windows 11 O/S

This started happening a few days ago.

I tried to drag a tab out of the main window to put it in its own window on my other monitor, but the tab just became unselectable, and if i scrolled in the tab bar, the tab icon and text would remain locked in place in the display while the other tabs moved behind it.

The main Firefox window also lost the minimize, restore, and close buttons. The only way to make the tabs work was to close Firefox and relaunch it.

I noticed this happened only after any app in the OS went full screen, be it a steam game, or another Firefox window, or a VLC window, or anything else that I did that made an app full screen in any of my monitors.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 with KDE Plasma 5.27.12. Kernel is 6.14.0-29. Display server is Wayland.

Initially I thought this could be a problem with the snap version of Firefox, so now I've installed the deb package, but the problem remains. Firefox is the only app which presents a problem of any kind when any window goes full screen.

Here's a video showing what the problem looks like, in case my description was not clear. The ghostly tab in this video is the chess.com home page and you can see it as the third tab from the top right of the video, and it remains in that position as i scroll the other tabs, completely unselectable with the mouse.

Any idea of what could be causing this issue to appear?

Thank you!

I recently wiped & reloaded my computer. Multi-Account containers re-installed successfully & I see all my containers. The issue is with sign-in to Reddit.com website. If I try to login using a container, I get invalid username or password error. If I login without using a container, it's fine. I am copy/pasting my account info. I tried different containers; same issue. Tried creating a new container; same issue. Try again without using a container; login to Reddit is successful.

Hello Firefox Support Team,

I would like to report a browser compatibility issue regarding CSS positioning behavior that differs from Chromium-based browsers.

• • Issue Description:**

When an element with `position: sticky` is placed inside a container with `position: fixed`, Firefox treats the sticky element as if it has `position: relative`, effectively breaking the sticky positioning functionality.

• • Expected Behavior:**

The sticky element should maintain its sticky positioning behavior even when nested inside a fixed-positioned container, as it does in Chromium-based browsers.

• • Current Firefox Behavior:**

The sticky element loses its sticky properties and behaves like a relatively positioned element.

• • Use Case:**

This issue particularly affects modal implementations where: - The `body` element receives `position: fixed` to prevent background scrolling - Page elements (such as `.total-section`) should maintain their sticky behavior regardless of changes to the body positioning

• • Browser Comparison:**

- **Chromium browsers (Chrome):** Sticky positioning works correctly in this scenario - **Firefox:** Sticky positioning fails and falls back to relative behavior

• • Request:**

Could you please consider aligning Firefox's behavior with other major browsers? The current inconsistency creates cross-browser compatibility issues and forces developers to implement JavaScript workarounds.

Thanks!

For past few weeks, Whenever I try to update FFX on windows 11, it fails. It takes me to another screen and tells me to download Firefox. When I try to download it , it aborts with this message.

"download.mozilla.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site."

To download Firefox with new version I have to use another browser but no choice. Then with new version of Firefox, I have faced the same issue of update and used same approach to update firefox to a newer version.

This error appears for some google sites as well but the same occurring for firefox download site itself is not understood.

After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

For over a week, Firefox always displays the message "Our servers are experiencing problems with our services" when I try to view a TV program on YouTube TV. Opera, Edge and my iPhone do not have this problem. I notice that Firefox doesn't store my location in the same place other browsers do. Could that be the problem?

I hate it when I have to use a different browser.

Good morning,

Firefox is not loading webpages correctly this morning. From Gmail not displaying or opening individual emails, Amazon not opening, to Youtube and several other sites not loading or displaying correctly. I had no issues at 9 PM PDT yesterday.

No changes to the computer, and everything is up to date.

I have successfully opened the above mentioned sites and others on MS Edge this morning.

Thanks!

I am using the Firefox AI Chatbot in the sidebar and facing an issue with the text input behavior. Currently, pressing Enter immediately sends the message instead of creating a new line. This makes it difficult to format or write longer messages. It would be very helpful to have an option to change this behavior—so that pressing Enter adds a new line, while something like Shift+Enter (or a setting toggle) could be used to send. Many chat apps and AI tools provide this flexibility, and adding it to the Firefox sidebar would make the experience much more user-friendly.

I'm using the latest Firefox. All of a sudden as of this morning, Firefox cannot not load Facebook or Twitter. I can open YouTube and YouTube videos appear but will not play (just a spinning wheel when I try to play). The Amazon landing page is scrambled with code. (see image attached)

I use Ghostery ad blocker but the issue persists when Ghostery is paused. I can use Safari without issue. Can anyone offer any insights?
