Firefox Community Forum

It is VERY annoying to me that all of the recent (since December 2025) automatic Firefox upgrades have deleted my previous session tabs, with no "Restore previous session" option offered. Prior to December, every Firefox upgrade was transparent with no effect on my open tabs. This new behavior annoys me so much that I'm likely to switch to another browser if there isn't a solution to stop this from happening. Please tell me how to avoid this problem, or consider fixing it in the next upgrade.

Would appreciate your help in advising how I can re-instate my Protonmail login as it just doesn't seem to want to let me access the site at all - it just tries to access and then keeps coming up with 'oops something went wrong'. It's like there is a block on letting me access? This has only just happened since doing firefox updates.

Cheers

I was really shocked and horrified to see Firefox place the Qatari regime's propaganda mouthpiece on my home screen. The Qatari regime is one of the worlds worst abusers of human rights. It allows no political parties, tolerates no criticism, and severely punishes online dissent. It has absolutely no LGBQ rights, is deeply misogynistic and antisemitic and uses slave labor extensively. Additionally, it is a known supporter of extremism and terrorism. It is not OK to push their propaganda outlet on the front page.

It used to be when I would choose a theme that when a new tab or window opened that the theme was there. It hasn't been doing even with themes that I have used previously.

What is causing this?

Looking forward to your response. Thank you in advance, May Hughart

Running Firefox 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro on an HP laptop. The feature/problem described works properly with Chrome and Edge. The problem occurs when accessing the following article:

  https://www.comsoc.org/publications/ctn/turning-fiber-sensing-system-magic-fiber-optics-sensing

If the window is set wide enough, there is a sidebar displaying, "Share this content in X". If the screen is squeezed down (i.e. drag the right margin to the left) far enough, the sidebar will disappear. That feature is handled properly, but as the window width is increased and the sidebar appears, the main body of text does not wrap properly. It appears that Firefox is not compensating for the width of the sidebar.

After ordering eye glasses from goggles4U. I am unable to connect to eyebuydirect.com website. I get this message. Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.eyebuydirect.com/" on this server.

I had a tab open to eyebuydirect.com when I was ordering from goggles4U. I was getting my prescription from eyebuydirect.com.

Please tell me how to get whatever is blocking this website off my computer.

I am running windows 7pro.

I would like the web search feature back, what is the point of having it available to look at but it does not work? The box is there... why is there not an option for me to continue to use it? You have done this in the past but there was a work around. What work around I found through AI does not work:

"To restore the search box in Firefox 148.0, type "about:config" in the address bar, accept the risk, and search for "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar." Set this preference to false to enable the search box again."

This is disappointing, maddening too. I have used your product for many years.

The extensions I use are: Adblock Plus Ghostery Privacy Badger Privacy Possum uBlock Origin

Which one of these add ons offered encryption? Is this something I can uninstall? Not all attachments are encrypted, but some are. Thanks JM

I was pasting in data from the internet into my spreadsheet and google sheets (or Firefox) is pasting in said data three times and it is driving me insane. I paste the raw values in a formatted cell, and rapidly it pastes correctly, but then pastes the original data/cell at least once if not twice. Like, say there's a green cell and I paste the values in it, and it works, but it then pastes the data OVER the cell removing the formatting. The worst part? It works correctly on chrome!

my PC was lagging on wake up so I was disabling some things at startup like duck duck go and copilot to see if that helped. I have windows 11. somehow during the process my google sheets will no longer perform copy > paste special values anymore. It works on my Mac and it works on other browsers, but I need it to work on firefox. went to google sheets help, they are also stumped.

How do I get searches (my default is Google) to STOP going to the address bar? This started out of the blue and it is making me crazy. I don't want to be asked which search to use, and I don't want it to search in the address bar. I want it in the search box. Thanks.

None of these sites can access the camera, and say that I blocked access even though the popup never appeared:

https://meet.google.com https://webcamtests.com/ https://webcammictest.com/ https://app.zoom.us/test

Interestingly, webcamtests.com says "A web camera was detected." -- but still can't access it. Chrome can access my camera just fine.

Whenever I try to paste something using Crtl + V or Crtl + V + Shift, this little paste text box thing pops up even after I've already pasted from what I wanted to paste.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it, it's very annoying.
