Hello all,

I am currently testing the new VPN feature in Firefox. I Is noticed that Firefox always starts with this integrated VPN being off. I searched but I didn't find any way to have it always on when launching VPN. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

In this version of Firefox 152 for windows I'm currently unable to remove search related to google, ebay, perplexity and bing.

Please return possibility to remove those completely!

I don't want my browser to have anything to do with those listed above. I have had it removed in previous versions. Why did you add it to browser again?! Why don't you allow to remove it anymore?!

Just recently I changed my privacy settings to take advantage of the privacy opt-out option for websites not to share my data or information. I went to my AMX credit card account and now every time I move to a new page the message, "Your Global Privacy Control opt-out signal has been honored" pops up and gets in the way of the information on the page. I am constantly having to click on the X in the corner to close the message box. Once would be enough for each main website. Having it pop up every time is absolutely annoying. I like having this option but if it's going to make me have to close the informational box every time I move to a new page or back to a former page, then I will have to undo the choice. The web designer who put this message text into the Firefox browser needs to find a way to only have it pop up once if they feel it is really necessary to tell me that they are blocking information from other companies. I really don't even need the first message just as long as it works behind the scenes. I hope someone gets web support to look into this issue. It's just so annoying.

I am unable to dismiss the Amazon Search icon from my Firefox Homepage. I can dismiss others, but whenever I click on Dismiss for the Amazon Search it just always remains. I want it gone.

This has happened several times in the last 4 months or so, it had never happened prior to that and I've used Firefox for years. It now occurs when I open Firefox after my computer has either been shutdown, or the computer does a restart. I am signed in to my Mozilla account.

The refresh button in my firefox desktop browser suddenly disappeared. One day the usage was normal, but on the next launch of the browser, there was no refresh button. I currently use the "F5" button to refresh but it would be better to use the button again.

I'm experiencing an intermittent issue with Firefox and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it.

Occasionally, Firefox stops loading pages in new tabs. If I open a new tab and try to navigate to any website, it won't load, it'll state "waiting for www.[anywebsite].com" forever. However, if I use a tab that was already open before the issue started, I can still navigate to different websites from that tab without any problems.

The only reliable fix I've found is to completely close Firefox and start it again.

One strange thing I've noticed is that, sometimes while this issue is happening, if I put my laptop to sleep and then wake it up again, Firefox starts working normally, including in new tabs, without needing to restart the browser. But this isn't a something that works everytime.

I've already gone through the troubleshooting steps in the Mozilla Support article "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can", but none of the suggested solutions resolved the issue.

I also tried disabling all my extensions, one by one, but the problem still occurs.

Has anyone seen this behavior before or knows what could cause it?

Additional information:

Firefox version: 152.0.2 (64-bit) (currently shows an available update requiring a restart, but it never seems to update even when enforced restarting) Operating system: Windows 1p Pro Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

I'd appreciate any answers
