Firefox Community Forum

My current version of Firefox is 151.0.4 (64-bit) & for the past 2 weeks or so every time I use the search bar to google something it triggers one of those "We've detected unusual activity from your network" requiring a Captcha. At first I tried all of the typical stuff [antivirus, vpn, extensions, etc...] to make sure that wasn't the issue. But as of yesterday & confirmed today I can actually go to Google's website first & do the search from there with no issue & no captcha.

So, whatever the issue is has to do specifically with doing the search via the search bar... for some reason. Is this a bug in the browser, or is there perhaps some setting that could cause this to happen in the about:config page? Though, I doubt a setting could be it because I've changed the settings I've changed now for years without causing this issue.

When I have video playing in Firefox's PIP window (ex: YT) and when I enter full-screen mode in browser, the windows 11 taskbar does not disappear.

It works normally when there is no PIP window.

I have uploaded pictures of: - Not full-screen and with PIP window - Full-screen and with PIP window - Full-screen and without PIP window

Windows11，firefox版本149.0，增强型跟踪保护设置为标准，基于 HTTPS 的 DNS”启用策略为默认保护，扩展全关。在我打开www.douyin.com的标签页时，通常要加载5秒钟甚至10秒钟，视频才会播放（如图）。作为对比，我在edge浏览器上登陆了同一个抖音账号，打开同样的书签页面，edge并未出现明显加载画面，在chrome上打开未登陆的抖音标签页也未出现明显加载画面。这个情况也许是从近期firefox自动更新后出现的？请问如何解决

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

I get scam messages that say "Trojan virus detected!" on Mozilla Firefox which I cannot delete. I have run antivirus scans which show there is no virus or malware. I have shut down the desk top. How can I go to reinstall Mozilla Firefox default settings or do you have another solution?

As title says, on my main profile, i dont see any option to use the new tab widgets function. If i make a new profile, it is there on default.

How to add it on my main profile?

I'm trying to add the world cup tracker to my home screen, but when i click the link, it just puts me in my new tab page with no changes. When I click the pencil edit icon, widgets are not an option for me. Is there a place I need to enable them?

Hello

I can login to all other sites on Firefox, except Facebook. I only had one extension, UBlock Origin. I tried disabling this, then uninstalling, but I still couldn't login. I deleted Firefox's cache several times. It's been like this for a few days now.

No one else online seems to have this problem.

At the moment I'm using any other browser to login to Facebook.

I don't know what else to do, as I prefer just using the one browser, Firefox.

Please advise if you know of a possible fix.

We hate this useless so-called feature and you've completely failed to give us an OFF switch! It's been many months with countless complaints and still no OFF switch! We've had this conversation before, all of your ideas must come with an OFF switch, especially so for the dumb ones like tab pinning! You don't ever force this dumb crap on us, ever!

Where is the fkin OFF switch already!?!?!?

saved payment method still work and autofill when a payment page is up but managing all saved payments within settings is impossible as the list is not populated - please see screenshot link text

Hi, I use a website called Slickdeals which has a lot of thumbnail photos showing the product on the homepage.

Firefox seems to have a problem with it where Chrome does not.

Scrolling fast throws it off...the screen turns white and I have to wait for the images to load. Also, the scrolling tends to get choppy while using my touchpad scroll.

I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, disabling smooth scrolling, and clearing cache/history.

Sometimes the cursor lags about a second from the arrow to the hand pointer on links to click.

I have fast FIOS internet and a laptop with 16 GB RAM.

Thanks!

Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

A heart has recently been included in the Firefox icon in my taskbar. What's the reason for it and what do I have to do so that the Firefox icon no longer has it? I've run a number of antimalware programs and they came up with nothing.

Have used Firefox for years. Today, went to standard sites (eg weather info, local blog site) and get told they aren't secure and can't be loaded. Have tried re-installing Firefox, clearing cookies but no change. No problem with same sites from Chrome. Message is:

Looks like there’s a problem with this site

www.portlandbirdobs.com sent back an empty page. 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.

Error Code: NS_ERROR_NET_EMPTY_RESPONS

I don't know why any browser never seems to allow for this. I hate using the mouse wheel to scroll down webpages and always use the scroll bar on the right side. Problem is most of the time it's way to skinny/narrow to be practically used and the bar you use to scroll it up and down - especially on long pages - is so tiny as to be completely unusable. It may not be an issue for tweens who still have eyes like hawks but for older people, like me, it's a pain in the tuchus. I'd like to be able to increase both the size - width mostly - of the slide rail and increase the overall size of the slide bar you use to control it.

Thanks!

When creating a passkey for my Mozilla account, the Windows Security passkey program insists on using my old gmail.com address instead of my new protonmail.com address.

How can I purge Mozilla records of my gmail address and use my protonmail address?

Many thanks
