use the firefox web browser on iphone 16 to change the password manager to export mozilla password manager to proton pass password manager on two iphones and two desk top all mac os 26.2 os

I'm experiencing continuous screen blackouts or glitches. These are unaffected by the site I'm on and only occur for Firefox browser. When I switch a tab or click a button the browser blacks out and becomes unresponsive then comes back on after a few seconds. This happens repeatedly. Clearing the cache, running a repair, and uninstalling / reinstalling the app have had no affect on it.

Since I updated to Firefox v154 (on Windows 11 w/latest updates) Substack videos freeze at random times 15-30 minutes into playback (never right away). If I close the tab and reuse the original link, playback resumes more at less where it froze, but this is very annoying and happens almost every video. Other online videos (e.g. YouTube) don't seem to have this problem -- but I rarely watch hour-long videos outside of Substack, so I can't confirm that the problem doesn't exist elsewhere. This only seems to occur after streaming 15+ minutes so probably a subtle bug.

How can I stop Firefox from automatic granting sites cross-site cookie permissions (see screenshot)? The problem is that the cross-site cookie(s) granted for a site more often than not is completely unrelated to that site. This problem is very frustrating.

I have tried changing several settings in Tracking Protection but nothing has stopped Firefox from auto-granting these permissions. I have for example turned off "Fix major site issues (recommended)" but it has not changed this behavior.

Thankful for any help.

Subject: Firefox Search Bar – “Search in New Tab” right-click option

I frequently use Firefox's separate Search bar with several custom search engines. Currently, I can open a search in a new tab by clicking my mouse wheel and then the arrow button, but this functionality isn't obvious from the interface. With the about:config...browser.search.openintab, I can make it do new tabs or current tabs, but I don't get a CHOICE on each new search.

I suggest adding “Search in New Tab” as the first item on the right-click menu for the Search bar's arrow button. At present, that context menu prominently offers “Pin to Overflow Menu,” which is easy to select accidentally but doesn't provide the much more natural search-related choice. And it's a terrible choice for accidental clicking because it undoes your menu bar, requiring a fix.

This would allow mouse-only users to choose at the time of each search whether to replace the current tab or open the search in a new tab, without changing a permanent preference or using a keyboard modifier.

The option to "Open in New Tab" is normal behavior for menu items. It should be the same for searches in the custom search bar.

Thank you Thomas

At some point a few days ago I accidentally dragged the divider that separates the pinned and vertical tabs. As a result, for the last few days, I have been stuck with the divider being in a fixed position no matter how hard I try. The problem is that I use collapsed sidebar by default and can't reposition it for the collapsed tabs state, and as a result, there's a mismatch in how many pinned tabs I can see when hovered and when unhovered, among other issues

If possible, I'd love to just reset the position to how it was before, that being that it would show maximum pinned tabs and scroll the normal tabs, and do so for both collapsed and uncollapsed tabs, but I haven't found a way yet

I've tried dragging the divider to the very bottom, but that didn't work either and it'd eventually reset

I would like to make Firefox web browser to save automatically the "tab group" created.

The feature is already there by left clicking on the group and choose "save and close group". I would this to be automated as default behaviour at every attempt to close the last tab of the group, so the "tab group" never gets deleted by itself. Only deliberately left click on the tab group and choose "Delete group".

Thank you in advance for your time reading this. 🙇

Hi,

Over the weekend we had a break-in in our apartment and the laptop i use for work was stolen. I used Mozilla has my primary browser and had all the tabs and password i use on a regular basis saved there. As such I panicked a little and removed that PC from the synced units on my account. Now it seems I have no way to regain that information.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance, and best wishes

Whilst on various websites, reading articles or even on Gmail, Firefox takes me off them and takes me to Recent Browsing and I have to click on the website from there - this happens frequently.

I use the setting brower.search.widget.new = false to customize my search bar. Since the latest update of Firefox (Firefox 154), I noticed that spacing between search results is larger and I don't like it as much. I am hoping to revert to the previous version where the spacing is more tight and easier to navigate. The first pic is Firefox 154 and the second is a previous version (147).

I had an organized list in the left side of all if the links to pay bills. or other categories It was easy and it worked. Now apparently you have taken that away,. I HATER THIS NEW FIREFOX!!!!

Upon a Windows forced restart closing Firefox, all of my current session tabs were closed. Upon opening Firefox once again, during which it updated, Recently Closed Windows and Tabs are both dark, preventing me from restoring my previous session.

Because of this issue, I need to try and recover my previous session by scanning through the search history to find the tabs that matter to me.

Open Application Menu(three bars) > History > Manage History

This is the only way to view the complete history in some sort of chronological order. Recent History does not go back far enough and Search History is useless in this case.

A window titled "Library" pops up, which has all my search history.

Focused on "Today", double clicking a website opens it in the current tab, which surprised me. I would think that default behavior would be opening it in a new tab, but alright. I'll right click and specify open in a new tab from now on.

I scroll down, find a website, right click, and open it in a new tab. This action removes the website from it's current position in the chronological order to put it at the very top. If you had scroll down, you are now back at the very top of the list again.

This same behavior does not occur in the "Yesterday" submenu or previous months like "July", however, in the "Last 7 days" and "This Month" submenu, this behavior occurs.

All in all, this means that the chronological order of the history is not preserved and my task of restoring my previous session manually is made more frustrating by having to scroll down where I was from the top after opening each website I want to recover.

Please just "copy" what Google Chrome does, I've never had an issue with their history implementations or my previous sessions being unrecoverable. I'll be figuring out some plugin to use to resolve my previous session issue in the mean time, as I've accepted it as a bad quirk of Firefox.

The history under Firefox View almost fixes the history problems I have, to bad it's hidden under two unrelated submenus, "List All Tabs" > "View All Tabs", so no reasonable person can actually find it. I only found it after writing this up. Put that in the history section please, something like.

Open Application Menu(three bars) > History > Browse History

Longtime Firefox user, Lenovo desktop, Windows 10 user, have Firefox version 154. Can log into my microsoft M365 account, but whan I click on "Search", my files do not appear. Box appears saying "No Recent Items" in place of my list of files.

Can this be fixed at Firefox??? I'm forced to us Chrome, which I do not want to do. Thank you. Mike Manning Text [redacted phone# and email from community support forum]

I have two installations of Firefox on a desktop and a laptop. The first installation is pinned to the Windows toolbar and the 2nd installation has a shortcut pinned to Windows Start.

When I saw that the latest update of Firefox to 154 allowed changing icons, I changed the 2nd installation to a different Firefox icon (mini-fox with black background) so it was easy to see which installation to use when both were open.

The problem is the changed icon for the shortcut is wrong after shutting down the computers. I do not recall having this problem with the 1st installation or on my 2nd laptop where I only have one installation of Firefox.

I suspect this is just a glitch that will likely be fixed in a future update, but it is annoying to have to go through the process of changing the icon every time I startup a computer. If anyone has found a solution for this, I would very much appreciate your help.

The option for showing or hiding recommended stories is missing from my settings, and there are no recommended stories showing on my browser home page when clicking new tab.

until 4 days ago my firefox hoMEPAGE DISPLAYED THE ICONS I USE DAILY: xfinity - mail and streaming, Amazon, Facebook ... now I cannot get to any of those, WHY????????

проблема с тем, что мои куки файлы или кэш файлы внезапным образом после того как я закрыл браузер пропали. я попробовал откатить систему с помощью точки восстановления, но ничего не помогло и все равно ничего не восстановилось. чувствую себя грустно от того, что как будто я копил вкладки нужные мне очень долго и сейчас так просто их потерял. если нужно, чтобы я еще что то написал, прошу напишите мне в ответном сообщении, потому что я не знаю какая информация нужна Google Translation: The problem is that my cookies or cache files suddenly disappeared after I closed the browser. I tried rolling back the system using a restore point, but nothing helped and still nothing recovered. I feel sad that it is as if I have been accumulating the tabs I need for a very long time and now I just lost them. If you need me to write something else, please write to me in a reply message, because I do not know what information is needed

I would like to watch Chinese language programs on Singapore TV. For example: https://www.mewatch.sg/watch/Story-Of-Kunning-Palace-E1-796202. I always get the message: Sorry, something went wrong We were unable to load the programme, please try again. I think the VPN should allow me to watch programs on Singapore television.
