When I open a new browser window the page slides sideways, how do I turn this effect off? It never did this before, and it is extremely annoying.

The new window appears to slide from the left side of the screen across the screen until it is fully visible; that's what I am trying to describe. As if a card was being dragged out of the left side of the screen, across the page. I hope someone knows how to make this animation stop, please?

Lastpass has had major data breaches in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and two in 2022.

Today I got a recommendation to install LastPass. I was a bit surprised. LP (logmein, gotomypc) has a history of databreaches. I found reports in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, and two in 2022.

People without a lock on the door know they have no security. Putting on a lock that is not effective only gives people a false sense of security and may even increase the threat.

I love many of the add-ons. I know I can't rely on anyone to make sure they are all secure, but I hope such well-publicized problems will result in a review.

The billions lost and hundreds of hours spent by people each year with passwords in our fight with hackers is a true drain and a danger. Password programs have been the only way for individuals to survive. Their standards for security must be even higher than others. LastPass has not met the standard for a high level of security...or even a low level.]

LastPass has one reason for existing--keeping our passwords safe and secure. In the light of their failure, it's time to stop recommending them. It undermines the credibility of Mozilla and Firefox.

Is there a trusted (preferably from Firefox itself) Add-on that allows one to Text the current link from a paired phone? The same approach as Firefox's menu choice "\File\Email link".

Thanks.

Dear all,

recently I picked up Mozilla again and saw some weird website formatting for some sites. It sometimes only affect certain areas (see attached picture Bad Formatting Amazon, where one part got squished and dragged down very much) and sometimes it affects the whole website (please refer to the other two pictures, one showing the proper formatting and the other one a formatting, which occurs over time, when leaving the website open)

Can I change any settings to combat this? Looking forward to your input!

Thank you and best regards, David

In the past few months, I've had problems with links that come from emails received on my account. There are a couple of senders who have links to a web page. When I go to that page, they often will have a youtube link, but the link is missing. Further, when working with the sender, they send another email with the web page pasted into it, I still don't see the link. They can see it before they send it.

I'm getting email direct from their website and am not using outlook or another client on my end. I have the same results on every browser I've tried. I'm not using any ad blocker and Firefox and Windows are up to date. I have also tried disabling my firewall. Nothing seems to help so far.

Anyone have an idea of what I might be missing?

Thanks!

My NEW M2, Windows 10 drive failed catastrophically. Am having to rebuild my system pretty much from scratch. I have the old failed, Windows 7 SATA drive. It will not boot, but the data is mostly intact and accessable. I want to sync my new Firefox install from the old, but I need help.

When I first open Firefox and go to my yahoo home page - I can pretty much open any page - 1st try. However, after I leave a page and try to return - no luck. Has been doing this for the last 6 months. Using Firefox on an updated Macbook pro. No problems with Safari.

Hi, all just a question. The account is supposed to very very old. But since i logged in nothing has been there. I am taking nothing. So you help that be great. Thanks.

Today I started having a problem with Smartnews.com. When I click a news item link, it displays a barcode and asks to install the app on my phone. When I use Microsoft Edge, I do not have this problem - the article displays fine. Does anyone know what is going on with Smartnews.com? Thanks

Is there a way that I can recover my New Tab page setup (just the new tab page) from a Macrium Reflect backup of my OS disk? I recently did some cleanup that cratered my FireFox profile (developer and beta also). I would like to somehow recover just the New Tab page setup from the os backup. Any solution? Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Some pages are showing incorrectly after migration to the version 108.0.

For example Azure Data Factory page is looking like in the picture 001.png. But it should looks like this in the picture 002.png.

Suddenly today my browser had switched any current tab to the bottom of my window, but it also only lets me see one at a time..which means I can't see multiple tabs open unless I close the current one. My tab bar is gone entirely and was up-top as it's always been, just under the URL box.

I didn't hit any key combos that I know of that would cause this, and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem when I search for a solution. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? It's very odd and annoying, I've never had it happen before now..

I took a screen-shot of the problem, showing what happens when I open a site or any tab:

Thank you very much for taking a look and any help with this strange issue,

-Chris
