Firefox Community Forum

I ran the windows 11 system file checker (sfc/scannow) to fix a font problem I was having. It did say that problems were found and fixed and I do not seem to have that problem any more. After that, i could not access the Settings in Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and still could not access Settings. I also cannot access any Web sites either by typing them into the address bar or using bookmarks. Both Chrome and MS Edge work.

When I try and open Firefox, a window pops up for a millisecond before going off my screen, and firefox doesnt open. This is extremely irritating as i downloaded firefox since I also cant open chrome. Is there a fix to this, I have restarted my computer and have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox.

Thanks, Nathan

Prior to FF140 the context menu button labels left placeholders on the left that aligned the labels with extension buttons. Currently the labels moved to the left edge, which is a bit annoying after them being in the same place for years.

Was this a planned change or is this a bug I should report to bugzilla?

Curiously, if there is at least one item with a checkbox (e.g. this textbox) all items return to their old alignment. I find that even more distracting.

I wasn't sure what to select for the type of question so you can move it if you think another type would be better. I would have selected crashes but that isn't an option.

It happened again a few minutes ago while watching Star Trek First Contact. The Phoenix was about to go to warp and Firefox CTD with no crash reporter and when I looked in about:crashes there was no crash report. This exact situation happened twice while watching the movie Signal unknown or whatever the title is.

I am using Firefox v140.0.1 Snap on Kubuntu 25.04, Kernel 6.14. Since the Firefox update in the past couple days, the mouse cursor has started appearing huge and slightly blurry (as though the image is scaled up) in Firefox and nowhere else. The size is visually annoying, and occasionally difficult to know exactly where I'm clicking (trying to move the caret in a text box for example). It also appears to be a different style from the main desktop cursor, the shape and color are ever so slightly different, but this may already have been the case and I simply didn't notice because of the previously small size. Firefox doesn't have its own built in cursor settings that I can find, nor obey the system cursor settings. I have a high DPI display so perhaps it is being over-compensated for? e.g. both the system and Firefox are scaling the cursor up, assuming the other hasn't done it already, resulting in a cursor that's too big.

You used to be able to set Contrast Control to not override other websites now you can't. What moron made this stupid ass decision that just degrades the quality of a once good browser?

Recently, I am unable to open PDF's on Firefox. When I go to another browser and access the same site (such as a bank) I am able to view the PDF. I have tried some of the suggestions regarding extensions etc, but nothing seems to work. Is there a solution? Thanks, SVS

My firefox keeps redirecting me through two different websites before giving me my search results from yahoo, my preferred search engine is Google and I think my browser has been hjacked, I did a complete wipe of data and Firefox files and a dns cache clear from my computer but it seems it's still happening, any help would be appreciated

I really like the new tab group feature and I wondered if it would be possible to isolate tracking within a tab group. I didn't know about tab containers yet but it seems like a great feature to have the option to have a tab group also act as it's own tab container.

Are there any plans for integration between these two features?

hey there, i am having problems turning off the automatic translation within the firefox browser. concerning watching videos, it is pretty annoying, but doing any kind of research at all becomes difficult, if the translations do not make sense or have obvious mistakes. i also personally prefer to keep my apps in english, although i am located in germany.

i tried turning it off with specific sites, i have tried to add exceptions, i have tried to make it translate english sites into english. all without any real progress, i just keep getting weird, german AI-sentences. my only assumption is that it might be related to anti-virus software or vpn-related aspects.

if anybody has thoughts or maybe even a solution, you are very welcome to share. i would really appreciate it and thank you!

How do i recover my bookmarks without having to get them all back manually? Super annoying. Btw this new browser sidebar is terrible and unnecessary please tell your boss to get rid of it

From my desktop, Firefox refuses to connect to Dropbox.com. I get alternating error messages: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

I've disabled extensions, cleared cache and restarted. Nothing has helped.

I also have Firefox on my laptop and have no problems connecting to Dropbox.com

Help. Thanks.
