I am running Firefox 147 on a Windows 10 desktop PC. I am using DualSafe Password Manager. However, the 'Ask to save passwords' option is ticked in my Settings (see attached screenshot), and also greyed out so I can't alter it. Firefox keeps asking to save passwords for sites that I sign into. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this. To my way of thinking, if a thrid-party password manager is installed, Firefox should see this (it does) and automatically set itself to not ask.

I have been battling with Firefox for a bit now with this 'helper tool' download. Every single update it requests access, which is has, and then won't actually open Firefox. I have to uninstall and reinstall each time to get some level of functionality back.

Checking online this isn't a problem isolated to my own computer, but aside from getting the pro version, there were no great solutions.

Can this issue please be fixed?

Context Menu Assistance - How to add "Open Link in New Tab" to Context Menu when Right Clicking on an Image in the Image Tab in Search Engines

Hello!

I am having an issue where when I right click an image when on the image tab of a search engine, it only has the "Open Image in New Tab" choice in the context menu, with no ability to open the website the image is on in said context menu. ("Open Link in New Tab")

I know this is the opposite of what most folks want, but I see it this way: If you open the image from the context menu right from the search page, it only opens the tiny, fuzzy image that you already could see on the search page. I don't want, nor need, the tiny, pixelated image that I am already looking at.

I want to be able to open it right to the page that the image is on. That way I can see the image in full resolution, or look at the page it is from.

Is there any add-on or code or anything that could help me? I've searched and searched, but nothing I've found has worked.

TL;DR I want to remove "Open Image in New Tab" and replace it with "Open Link in New Tab" from the context menu when clicking on images in the image tab of search engines on Firefox. Is there any add-on or code or anything that could help me?

Firefox does not save history

Hello all,

I recently (2 days ago) discovered that my Firefox was broken immediately following a Windows 11 update (2026-01 Preview Update (KB5074105) (26200.7705), in case this means anything to anyone). I first noticed my bookmarks and browsing history were gone (which I noticed a lot of people have already been complaining about recently). I want to start off by EXPLICITLY saying I have tried restarting Firefox, my computer, and following the instructions from the most commonly linked solutions (1 1, 2 2 , 3 3). None of it has many any difference to speak of. Now, onto the diagnosis.

My history is still not being remember or updated. Furthermore, the history management tool (the one that opens up on Ctrl + Shift + O) is completely non-functional. Clicking any button in there does nothing. I have tried to go "Import and Backup -> Restore -> Choose a File", especially because I managed to locate the .jsonlz4 backup files for my bookmarks in the root folder of my (one and only) profile. The history manager does not allow me to open a file, in fact clicking "Choose a File" does not even open a file selection menu. Clicking "Backup" does nothing, clicking "Import Bookmarks from HTML" does nothing. "Views" is also completely empty (which I assume makes sense, given there is no browsing history to speak of).

My only guess is my profile ended up broken somehow? I would guess the Windows update had something to do with it, but the fact that the history is still not being saved 2 days later confuses me greatly. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

When a system-wide VPN application (not built into Firefox) is enabled, the behavior of the address bar changes: on the first click, it only shows 5 sites (Top Sites), instead of the usual 9. After pressing the Spacebar, the list from browsing history loads normally. The problem persists after turning off the VPN and only disappears after a full restart of Firefox. The issue is reproducible. Firefox version: the latest

I won't show my account information but when I try to access Amtrak's Guest Rewards site it goes into a loop. First it asks for username & password and accepts that with no problem. Then it asks for the code it sends to my cell phone and accepts that. And then it just keeps reloading various pages until I kill it. This is the error message shown in the log, it's repeated over and over:

NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIFaviconService.replaceFaviconDataFromDataURL]

I tend to have long and extensive conversations on Firefox's Copilot AI but I've run into an issue that makes this more difficult. When I press CTRL + F to search for text through a chat, it only searches on the webpage I have open on the right. I was wondering if there is a feature that exists that does this that I'm not aware of, and if not, maybe that could become a thing later?

Safari displays the original on the same laptop. I've been using Firefox since 2000, please stop tinkering with pages which work. I'd prefer to continue using an Open Source outfit rather than a Proprietary one, in solute of not having a Help phone number. ThANK YOU.
