I am using in css:

• {

   font-weight: bold !important;

}

html * {

   font-weight: bold !important;

}

Those two make almost everything bold in firefox itself besides pinned shortcuts and ddg search tab text have bold font. I use the first one on stylus to make every site font weight bold and it works.

Can someone help me make Pinned Shortcuts and Search Tab in the middle have bold font, i have tried everything I could but I cannot make those texts in bold font

For the past few months, when I close my MacBook Air, for no particular amount of time, can be short or long, upon reopening and unlocking, I frequently find the Firefox tab bar has gone grey and Firefox is unresponsive. I quit Firefox and start it again immediately and it returns to normal operation and runs fine until I close my MacBook again. Firefox 145.0 (aarch64) with MacOS 15.6.1 (24G90) running on a MacBook Air M1 2020. Currently 33 tabs open across 3 windows. Performance is usually acceptable. Sometimes Gmail slows down, but I reload the tab, then it's OK.

The bar across the top (has "View recent browsing across Windows and devices" at the left end) has far too many remembered tabs. It's only happening on this platform (my wife's) and not on mine. Both running Windows 10, although I'm switching us both to newer platforms because of Windows 11.

There must be some way to turn off that bar in this platform, but I can't understand all the Firefox on-line help documents, because there's no place where there is a diagram indicating what that bar is called.

I have an Investors.com account and a feature they offer is a stock sector data table that shows recent performance and other information. When I try to open these tables they close immediately, but if I use my tablet with a different browser they will remain open. I believe this is a simple setting that I need to adjust, but I don't know enough to figure it out.

Password generated by the password manager is 100% numbers: no letters, uppercase letters, or symbols. Just "745848727839949". This is not a valid password. This number seems to be the same every time and is remembered even tho it hasn't been stored.

So within the last couple of days Firefox has started toggling the menu bar even though I have it disabled/hidden. If I were to click off of the browser to check Discord for example, it pops up when I click back on and literally moves stuff down--which makes it annoying if I try to click back on to enter a web address.

Anyone else having this problem?

Unlike before, many sites that I visit regularly, I am now having to log in every time I visit, including support.mozilla.org.

Did I unknowingly change something, some setting? or perhaps it's due to an addon?

Hello all...

This is driving me crazy. I have the latest version Firefox 145 installed, however, this morning I discovered that while trying to log in to various banks for my credit cards, I've been getting "inability to login" messages, or a blank page comes up. Even when I try to change passwords (which I really didn't need to do), I keep getting denied.

I cleared all of my cache, but that does no good whatsoever. This the worst set of bugs with Firefox that I've ever experienced.

Yet, when I use Microsoft Edge to log into all of those sites, there are NO issues whatsoever.

What gives here - what went wrong?

I have been using old-style profiles for a long time, but they didn't work so well for me. The new profiles system was great - specifically that each one was a FF instance that could be opened and quit independently of any others (and most importantly had a different icon). I setup 5 or 6.

But i quit all my FFs due to memory issues. Then after restarting a FF, it was an instance from the old profiles system and there was no profiles item in main menu (under three horiz lines top-right).

Going to about:profiles didn't show them (as expected).

I started from command-line to launch FF with Profile Manager and after selecting a profile that way, then there now a Profiles menu item. However it empty.

I had a look and there is a ` ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profile Groups` that contains a number of sqlite files and each has a -shm and -wal file also. I looked in the profiles table for each of these. 1 lists all the new profiles I created and one points to default old-style Profile instance that opens (ie. Profiles/Main-Firefox-Window).

about:config - browser.profiles.enabled is true

I also noticed a browser.profiles.forceEnableRefresh but it appears to be undocumented.

My question: HOW can I restore my new profiles? I put some work into icons etc.. and of course their history, so i don't want to have to recreate them.

I need to know how I can stop my overflow bar from appearing whenever I click off and then back onto FireFox.

Steps to recreate starting in FireFox: 1. Click on an application other than FireFox 2. Click back on FireFox and then the overflow menu appears 3. Click anywhere on your FireFox window and it vanishes until step 1 & 2 are repeated

I'm currently using version version 141.0.3. Every time I've upgraded the version, there's been other problems with video playback on certain websites. Regardless, I can't read a number of pages of interesting articles because of this browser versions' adblocker which I can't lower or allow social media posts if I want to. My harddrive is almost maxxed out as Windows 10 occupied the majority.

Hello,

how can i disable firefox usage hints like "Try tab groups for less clutter, more focus"?. It opens up if i open up a certain amount of tabs. Is there anything i can disable in about:config?

Thank you.

Hi, after upgrading to Windows 11 all my Firefox saved passwords are gone. My extensions synced, but passwords did not even though I had sync turned on. How can I recover my old passwords or check if they were synced to my Firefox Account?

Many thanks in advance!

It looks like with this new version of Firefox I have to load my saved password file every time I start the browser, and even after doing the reload some of the passwords don't work forcing me to change them, and I would have to do another password save, but if I forget to do it and close the browser all the passwords are delete. I did not have this problem prior to this new install.

Also I prefer to use Firefox as a browser I feel it is way better than Edge and Chrome even though it doesn't work one a two websites I need to use. one only works on chrome the other only works on edge.

Let me know if you need other information.

Well at least I think it did. Facebook has an issue with scrolling through the feed in my group. I don't know whether there's also a problem on the home feed and also one's timeline. The further one goes back, the more sluggish it becomes and it takes longer to display posts. I'm not sure whether this is a browser issue as I haven't tested on other browsers, or a problem with Facebook pulling stuff out of the drawers in its archives. Maybe it's a memory issue due to all posts needing to be loaded in memory so it's possible to go back up through the feed to the newest one. Anyway, it gets to the stage after going back through hundreds of posts over 6 months, FB stalls. So I tried clearing my history (I have this set to not clear cookies). I then closed FB and Firefox. When I started Firefox again, I had to agree to cookies and sign into all my social media accounts, Google accounts and also agree to cookies on sites I visit regularly. So obviously a glitch in the browser, causing many, if not all cookies to be deleted.

My Win 11 (25H2) desktop occasionally sends me to renew access on my gmail account (via IEEE organization, services10.ieee.org) where I enter my walter.dinkins@ieee.org email and then it sends acknowledgement to Google or YouTube on my iPhone. Now I keep getting error message "Unable to connect". I am able to connect on my iPhone via the Firefox app but not on my PC. I added https://mail.google.com and hppts://accounts.google.com but still not luck. Any other suggestions? Regards, Walter

I have an HP AIO w/Win 11 and use Firefox for my browser. Last week I did a reset and since then when I try to use a link in Facebook it won't load. All I get is a greyed-out screen with a pulsating circle. The site the link is programmed to go to is faintly visible behind the greyed out screen. No problems if I use Google. What do I have to do to get Firefox to recognize, and open, legitimate links?
