I was forced to upgrade when FF crashed the other day, and now all of my windows are sorted alphabetically. This was exactly the behaviour that caused me to switch from Chrome to FF in the first place. I *HATE* having my windows sorted alphabetically. I have certain windows that remain open all the time, and they remain at the top of my Window menu drop-down, for easy access. (Hence, chronological by when the window opened, the old default behaviour.) Now, FF "helpfully" changes the window position every time I change tabs, and I can't find anything. I mentally sort windows by subject matter, not by the name displayed on the tab. I have tens of windows (20-30 typically) open at any given time. This makes it literally impossible to use the Window menu anymore, and I have to tab through open windows searching for what I need.

Mozilla, please make this a configurable option. It was really horrible of you to enforce this on us, just because some squeaky-wheels decided they preferred alphabetical sorting. They clearly are not power users, and this change has crippled those of us who are.

I have a PDF file which is 2.7MB. When opening it through the browser, and sending it to printing, it sends a 49.6MB document! This whole time, the browser lags, is very slow, and it takes around a whole minute to process this task!

OS: Windows 10 Browser: Firefox 108.0.1 (64b)

Please help me with this. Thank you.

Since Firefox's newest update, I can no longer use Twitter to retweet with a quote. I can click on it, bring up the tweet, and I can add to it with my response, but I can't scroll down to where it actually says "Tweet". The scroll bar is absolutely "dead". It will not move. Nor can I click on the down arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar; that doesn't work, either. There's absolutely no way to get down to where I need to go to retweet. I have tried to replicate this using both the Edge and Chrome browsers, but they work fine. It's only Firefox that seems to have this problem. I've tried emptying history, clear cache & cookies - both in Twitter and on my entire computer, from the Firefox browser. Nothing works. It must be some kind of glitch that came with the new update. Please fix it! I've used Firefox as my main browser for several years now, but with all the glitches that are coming with new updates, including the "slow as molasses" page loading (again, ONLY in Firefox, NOT in other browsers) I'm having to use Edge and Chrome more and more. Eventually I suspect I won't be able to use Firefox at all if they don't fix this stuff.

Someone broke into my firefox. A ex friends through into my face stuff she could only know if she or someone broke into my firefox history.

I deleted firefox browser on both my android and pc's and am brokenhearted because I checked it and it brought back memories going back to 2011.

I want this person who did this for her. The broke into my google, laptop, pc. She's pretty and rediculuos manipulitieve.

I've tried tech guys, computer stores, web sites. They want me delete everything and start over. I don't want to loose decades of memories. I have a vpn and they keep breaking into my phone and pc's.

Is there a goverment contractor worker that does this stuff on the side? I want to find them. I bought Audibles and Kindles on dark web to see if anyone there can help, and will read for next 10 years if I have to in order to find them. Need suggestion.

I'm trying to access a video on meethook.live. I did so in 2021 using the Firefox browser, but for some reason, it won't work anymore. The kind people at Meethook.live suggested using Chrome or Safari, but I don't want to use either of those browsers. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to change any settings to make it work. I tried a few security settings, dropping a few protections I had set up, but that hasn't helped. Can you suggest anything?

Which files/folders in .mozilla could I safely exclude from backups? My goal is to reduce clutter in my backup logs. For example, most of my backup logs are entries of things in "storage" and "weave". If this will regenerate should I have to restore, I would rather exclude it.

FF trying to save/update local website (e.g. 20.200.30.200) is broken. It think it confuses other website!?

Every day when I go to work with my laptop which has Fedora 36 installed, I open up Firefox in order to fill the "IT Checklist" where I need to visit a couple of local intranet websites in order to fill upbound threshold and inbound threshold.

I see weird Firefox behavior when it comes to, "Firefox remembering past logins". Let's say, I went to a website that has a URL like 20.200.30.200, and a password 1234.

Every time I try to log in to this website, Firefox asks if I want to update my password !! Something which I don't understand. Neither I am changing the password, nor I have written a different password to update with.

Every time Firefox try to update the password of this website with a random long string of character, which is out of my mind. I have to be careful each time and press "Don't Update" option.

On a normal website (let's say Facebook.com) there is no such problem. But when it comes to a local website, Firefox behaves very differently.

There is another website called 20.0.20.1. Its username is root and the password is 4321. But when I try to login in, only the password section is auto-filled, the username section needs to manually be written. Even though about:logins see both domains saving their respective username and password, when it comes to serving users, it sucks misbehave a lot.

Clearly, there is a fundamental problem in Firefox when it comes to handling how logins are saved and served to the user.

I really hope that Firefox 109 fixes this issue and handles the local website properly.

The Update to 108.0.1 succeeded, but the partial process for "sync" still shows as partway. Must've clicked that item by mistake, and then killed it after seeing the scope--since I don't use a smartphone., etc., anyway!

We should be cautioned that this 108.0.1 upgrade is a complicated one. At midnight I just wanted to do a SIMPLE update (release notes listed just one item), shut it off and hit the sack --not be swamped with all the myriad new choices and features to learm! --as I now see.
