When I have set the size of the window and then move the window to the left or right then the application automatically expands the window. I do not want it to do that as I want to be able to have the firefox window where I choose and the size I have chosen, but the program automatically expands the widow to fill the screen.

When I open a new tab, I am shown topics on news, science, culture, etc> the first topics I am shown are sensational trivial garbage. I always enjoy seeing informative and educational content, but Firefox prioritizes gossip, Hollywood personalities and advertisements disguised as news.. You also prioritize hearsay, negativity, and biased news articles. Are your editors doing this deliberately, or are they simply focused on immature minds and biases? How do I change this, or should I eliminate all content from the new tab page? Thank you.

Touch ID is working for all sites except Apple sites. Apple sites say "Your browser must be updated to use touch ID". I can sign in to these sites with touch ID using other browsers so it appears to be an issue with Firefox

When I log into Google, my browser freezes. I can't close the browser, can't even restart the computer — and this happens every single time I try to sign into my account, making the browser essentially unusable.

I don't see the suggestions when I'm typing. It was the most visited site by me and firefox was autofilling it. Now I can see there's nothing in my history like it is the first time I use firefox. I haven't changed anything in firefox settings or system files etc. It's just got deleted. I'm a MAC user

Several extensions were recently deleted without my input. Among them were Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials, Keeper Password Manager, and Apple's iCloud Password autofill. I know there were others, but I cannot even recall which ones they were. Not sure if this happened after the most recent update or later, but it happened at some point in the last 24 hours given that today is 3-15-2026 12:30 pm PST. I only discovered this when a tab popped up in Firefox asking me to complete a survey as to why I uninstalled Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials, which in fact I NEVER did. See attached pic. Nor did I uninstall any of the aforementioned, et. al. Thanks Mozilla for f'ing up my settings and overall browsing experience across all of my devices without my consent.

When I try to go into my google account for any reason and a few other websites, it will say use passkey or try another way. I have done both several times and Firefox ALWAYS FREEZES and I have to force quit. I have reinstalled Firefox, gotten rid of all cookies and cache, gotten rid of extensions and everything I could do from the help website but nothing seems to work. I have also reinstalled Firefox but the same thing keeps happening. I need HELP!

Although the option to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is unchecked in my settings, I am still getting logged out of all websites when Firefox restarts. This was never the case when I used Safari, and it's quite inconvenient to have to log in to so many websites all over again, especially when two factor authentication is required for many of them.
Is there anything that might be causing this, anything I can check or do on my end so that I am staying logged in on restart? Thank you.

I had to restart my Mac (late 2015, macOS Monterey 12.7.6) yesterday and when everything was back up and running, my Firefox bookmarks were gone. I followed the steps in a help article on this site to restore them or try to find out if there was another profile (there wasn't), but nothing worked. Any other suggestions? (And if you do have them, please spell them out like I'm a fifth grader!)
TIA!

All the application windows I had opened on my Mac, closed due to a security related update. Now Firefox isn't showing any of my tab groups from before and also there's a weird behavior when you click on the Firefox icon, it opens a new window that is small, but when you do file > new window it also opens a window but full sized. I tried creating a new tab group and the second approach of doing file > new window is showing the tab group in the tab group menu, but the window created by doubling clicking the icon doesn't show it.

Hi,
I am concerned that when I signed into my bank account today, the saved username which is autofilled by Firefox had been changed. The change was subtle -- from uppercase to lowercase letters -- but it wasn't me that changed it. This is a site I log in to often, almost every day.
Of course I am worried that this is some sort of hack.

My System Administrator upgraded my Macbook Pro laptop after upgrading from Sequoia to to Tahoe version 26.4. This was a JAMF migration. The reinstalled Firefox does not show my bookmarks, after logging in to Firefox with my username and password. I tried to restore bookmarks but it loaded only a few, from more than a decade ago.
