These are technically two separate issues, but both pertain to functionality of the mouse and keyboard. Whenever I right click to bring up the menu, the options (despite being functional) do not appear in the menu proper. Instead there are just empty buttons. In addition, certain hotkeys aren't working at all. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy paste are doing fine, but Ctrl-T and Ctrl-W to open and close tabs respectively do nothing. Neither of these issues were happening yesterday.

At least once a day since Version 145 dropped Firefox has told me I need to restart to update. When I do, it shows a pop up telling my I am opening an older version of Firefox and need to create a new profile to avoid corrupting my data. Daily, sometimes twice a day I have to go in and switch profiles back to the profile that has all of my book marks. Every computer in our office has this issue now. One of them deleted a profile without prompting, and it is not even in the appdata folder with "deleteme" in front of it. It is just gone. The last update had tabs crash daily. Is there any hope of stopping the second broken update in a row from wasting my time fixing it every day?

I use Arcgis quite a bit for property info and for the last several months, it either won't fully load or has constant freezes when doing anything. It also freezes other windows I have open and most the time when I shut down those windows and start FireFox again, my home screen (Start Page) won't load? I have to dump history/cookies and sometimes flush dns. I contacted ArcGis and they say it works fine on their end. So I suspect FireFox is the issue.

I downloaded the Opera browser last night and it has no problems with this site. I won't use chrome or edge.

Any help figuring out what's going on? I have changed no settings, no vpn, no private browsing either. It seems with each FireFox update, my issues get worse?

Win 10 on desktop. FF version 145.0.1 the site in question https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ba70b3d86f5e4bbeb7582591f3dde16a/

I use Dropbox every day. I always access in the Firefox browser. As of yesterday, when I open Dropbox, it inidicates that it knows its me (I am logged in - upper right hand corner) but it will not connect. Did I accidently change a setting? Your help would be greatly appreciated. FYI. I can access like normal using Safari but I would prefer to keep using Firefox. Thanks. Dave

This started after the recent update. Any time i open more than 1 firefox window or try to move my window to a different monitor, the Menu Bar pops up and left click will be stuck only making the bar appear/disappear. I just have to close the second window because it becomes immediately unusable. I have the ui setting set to false but it still freezes new windows and doest let me click or type on anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, ran troubleshoot mode, got rid of extensions, reset my computer. I'm at a loss. Any help would be great

For some reason, the Menu Bar kept coming up, even after I disabled it. I tired a few about:config things, the one that seemed to work was to disable the ALT key. But I still can't click anything in a game with my mouse while firefox is open. I have two monitors. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I've looked around the internet and I can't seem to find my exact problem. Please, please help!

It's happened about three times now where, upon a restart of my computer, Firefox completely signs me out of my account. And when I sign back in, I'm also signed out of any other websites I was signed into before, all my add-ons are still there but are acting like they've just been installed for the first time, everything saved to my Firefox color is gone, and any changes I've made to my settings have been reset to the default. How can I stop this from happening, or at the very least, why does this happen in the first place?

Even with just 1 tab open, Firefox is killing my laptop battery.

Win 11 PC laptop.

In background, it is using 40% to 50% of the laptop battery. I need much better performance from it. I have already turned off any settings I can find regarding Firefox's background functions. When I quit Firefox I want it completely off.

How can I do that?

i want to know why firefox extension reporting requires the user to check a box near text that says that the user is telling the 'complete' and 'accurate' truth. that's impossible for a human. it's also cruel and unusual. why does mozilla apparently assume that every user is a judge and a lawyer in the united states who is also God? it doesnt make any sense. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.
