Why oh why is there a necessity for this stupid new sidebar? Every time there is something new, it just takes ages to find a way of getting rid of it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! martyngs

Hello.

My problem is that in new versions of Firefox (from 115) there is no way to enter numeric values ​​using the mouse wheel. The browser simply scrolls the entire page. In older versions this problem does not exist.

I tried to compare the settings about:config but did not succeed. There must be some parameter responsible for this.

In fact, they force you to update by deprecating certificates, but it is becoming more and more difficult to use :(

I'm attaching a screenshot. It should be: When you scroll the mouse wheel, the numbers change (like in older versions) It is in fact (Scrolling the entire page and the numbers need to be entered on the keyboard)

I hope I explained clearly what is needed.

Thank you in advance

Have way too many tabs open 20- 30. On tab 27. (near the right end of the tab bar) Move mouse to switch tabs. Before the preview thumbnail appears the tab bar scrolls to the left, selects a random tab and changes focus to that tab.

example. Have a bunch of tabs open looking for a new vacuum cleaner, makers web sites and views. Get a call from my mother-in law, problem with her computer. Have bunch of pages open, stackoverflow, reddit etc. Find a solution that looks similar to a page on a previous tab. Move mouse over a tab and before the preview thumbnail appears the tab bar scroll to the left changes focus to a vacuum cleans manufacture page.

Its not jumping to a duplicate of a page. I have no idea if its jumping back 10 tabs or 15 tabs. It never jumps to the first tab. I don't have my hands on the keyboard. Not touching the mouse scroll wheel.

Help!!!!

Hello, I beg you to help me. I love firefox, I've been using this browser since my first time since I had. So I am REALLY old user, I think it's almost 10 years. So I had no idea about your rules about keys and if I restet my password all of my synchronization will be gone. I am using the same device that I had for 4 years, but I did a factory reset. Please take my data, I don't care about privacy and everything I just want to get my passwords and bookmarks that I had for almost 10 years. I beg you. You are my only hope to restore it. Please. I had so many passwords synch on my firefox account. I dont have any physical copy of those passwords. If they are gone I don't know what to do. Please help me.

Hello, The typeface/font size on the browser tabs and booksmarks are TINY, like maybe 4pt font in context. I've seen some solutions posted (and archived) as recently as Sept. 2023 but I've tried dozens of times and they still do nothing. The font size adjustment choices in Mozilla / Firefox settings adjust the font on WEBPAGES themselves, NOT the still-maddening teensy tiny font at the top of the webpage, where it frankly really counts. HELP!

When I access chat.google.com and attempt to play a video that is uploaded to chat, it will not play. The built in player opens with a red play button but clicked it does nothing. These videos used to work up until sometime earlier this year. Most of the videos are uploads from someone's phone and they appear to be mp4. I've tried private windows, removing firefox along with all program data and profiles and starting with a clean slate with no luck. Other browsers play the videos fine, just not firefox. Attempting to play videos that used to work no longer work. Suggestions?

Until the other day I was able to simply sign in to my various Yahoo email accounts password by using my 1Password saved password. Now,when I try to log into my Yahoo email accounts I get a popup window (see attached screen-print) saying that Windows Security wants to make sure it's me and that "This request comes from Firefox, published by Mozilla Corporation. Insert your security key into the USB port." Then I have to click the "Cancel" button, click "Try signing in another way" link and I can then sign in as I use to with my 1Password stored password.

These extra steps that are now required to sign-in to my Yahoo email accounts is very annoying and frustrating.

Video won't display on browser from a website. There is nothing wrong with the video. It used to show, but somewhere along the line a add-on blocked it. Not add blocker and I don't remember the name of the extension. I removed the extension, and even after re-install, and refresh & clearing history it wouldn't show. On the last reinstall, I deleted all folder data files associated with firefox with the hope of a clean install. Nope. The install of firefox still said re-install. I tried every option imaginable in the reinstall and still I got my old firefox back with the same problem. I tried refresh of course, also. So what can I do? I did a lot of searching for existing answers to the problem, and didn't find anything.

Recently, every time I turn on email on Yahoo, I get a noisy notification when each email is received. I do not want or like it. It is annoying. How can I turn off the notifications?

Hello, could you please let me know if updating Firefox as suggested (version 128) will be compatible with my iMac OS X Version 10.9.5. Thank you very much. Kind regards AS.

I have updated Firefox from 115.16.1 to Firefox ESR because I use a Mac running OS 10.13.6. Is there a way, hopefully an easy way, to import all of the bookmarks and extensions I was previously using in 115.16.1 to ESR. Hope so. Thanks!

Hi, I just installed Windows 11, version 24H2 and now in Firefox I'm continually prompted with "Awaiting Location Permission, Grant Firefox location permission in system settings".

The problem that location has been turned off by admin on this computer. How can I stop these continual prompts from Firefox? I have checked the box in Settings to block location requests from new websites but am still getting the prompts.

Thank you.

I just installed Firefox. What I noticed right away while using it was that fonts were very blurry/hard to read on all web pages, and even in firefox's menus and URL bar.

I attached two pictures, one is a screenshot in Firefox, and the other is a screenshot in Brave. (All chromium web browsers I have tried don't have firefox's font problem)

When attempting to sign in using google on firefox, the page I've included as an image below pops up. In order to solve the issue, I've tried clearing cookies and browsing data, refreshed firefox, and uninstalled and then reinstalled firefox. This happens on all websites, and only when using firefox.
