Hi, I have recently update my Win system with everything including Firefox. And now when I open new tab there is the same Firefox icon like always, but when I it is loading new page then its new X. When it is done with loading it changes to OK icon of the dedicated page. Is this X normal? Thank you

I have a 30-day free trial for DeepL add-on (and enabled it in Firefox). I tried to use the extension when I visited a Russian website and clicked DeepL and "Translate this selection" and nothing happened. The webpage wasn't translated. Do I have to be a "Pro" user to use DeepL? If not, how do I get it to work? I'm using Firefox 122.0.1 version and Windows 10.

The only advice I can find is at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms That advice removes the unwanted email address from the current display, but the unwanted address reappears whenever I return to the page.

The streaming platform Twitch seems to have an issue with both the newest version on Firefox and 122.0.0, did as advised but nothing works, I need this function for work related reasons.

A couple of weeks ago, a message came from Firefox saying - do I want the facility of opening a Firefox window on starting it? I thought that would be a confirmation of my existing setting of opening Firefox with the previous tabs. But no. Firefox now opens a separate blank window in addition to the previous window with the tabs.

How can I stop the opening of an additional blank window, which I now have to delete everytime? Thank you

Hello,

Recently I realized that the vast majority of my passwords were no longer present in the Firefox password manager. When looking at my profile's logins.json file, they are all present, yet only the last two are visible in the password manager itself. I've tried refreshing Firefox, restarting my PC, and creating a new profile and copying over both the logins.json and key4 files to it, yet the issue remains. Is there a way to decrypt the logins.json file using both it and the key4 file so that I could import into Firefox as a CSV? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have account from Many Years on Firefox and I usually when I got New Laptop I just Login in my Account and I retrieved all my Old Bookmarks and Add Ons this Time I got New Laptop and as Usual I Loged in but I got Nothing , I didn't found my Bookmarks or Add ons

As of today every time I open a FF window it has a sidebar for history. I do not store history and need to stop this. I do not want to close it i want to disable this annoying new function or I need to delete FF and choose a different browser.

hi

For several days now I have been receiving the message "Automatic activation of filters". It goes away after a few seconds but is extremely irritating, how to turn it off?

When I click a link either form a web page or from an email I get a whole new window rather than a new tab in the existing Firefox window. This new window is stripped back without the usual menu of options at the top. Is this EDGE taking over my life? I have Firefox as my default browser.

I used to love Firefox. For years, Firefox has been my primary & exclusive browser. But, in the last 6 months or so, Firefox is CONSTANTLY & CONSISTENTLY freezing on me. Here is the guaranteed & predictable pattern: Everything is working well for an hour or so and then suddenly, for no rhyme or reason, the program freezes. I close the program (because it's not responding, so says the error message) and I immediately reopen Firefox and things are fine for another hour or two...and then it happens again & again & again & again!

It just happened again while I was in the middle of an important work project & I AM SICK OF IT. I loved Firefox so much, I have spent hours & hours, over many weeks and months, reading about the problem and trying ALL the recommended fixes--to no avail. NOTHING has worked. Don't ask if I tried this or that because the answer is yes, I tried it. And it is happening to me on multiple computers. (I use two computers simultaneously, a brand new Windows 11 and an older Windows 10 computer.) It's getting to the point that I am starting to use Chrome more and more because I can use Chrome (or any other browser such as Edge or Maxthon) without problem or incident. But old habits are hard to break and I keep returning to Firefox (being the fool I am) & because I have Firefox tweaked to my specifications especially with passwords, etc. I have very reluctantly and unhappily removed many add-ons thinking one of them might be the problem. But, as I said, nothing has worked. And yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, turned off hardware acceleration, did your registry tweaks, bla, bla, bla.

I am writing mainly to vent. Because I have tried ALL THE FIXES without success, I have no confidence that you can solve what appears to be a common problem. But, of course, if you think you can help me, give it a whirl. Otherwise, I need to dump Firefox for good. Thank you letting me share.

Earlier this week, our local IT expert informed us that while Firefox would still be available, it will have no further development. I am looking at updating my Windows systems to Win11 and would like to know if this is true?

I maintain a website that I update on a regular basis. For the past month, none of the updates have shown up in Firefox. I've refreshed the page, cleared the cache, logged out and logged back in. Nothing has helped. With other browsers, there's no problem -- Chrome, Opera and Safari all show the website updates as soon as I post them. I'm using Firefox 122.0.1 (64-bit) on MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (MacBook Pro 14-inch 2023). The website uses WordPress, hosted by DreamHost. I have two other WordPress websites, both hosted by WordPress, and Firefox is showing updates with no problem. I'm querying DreamHost on this as well, but I suspect they'll must say it's a Firefox problem.
