There’s no information on how to sign out of the AI bot itself. For example, if you use Copilot and sign in, then realize you used the wrong Copilot account, there’s no clear way to sign out and log in with a different account.

Greetings Ya'll,

Early this morning as I went to use the Firefox browser, on My Desktop, I got an update, & then firefox opened, somewhat.

The homepage did not fill in with favorites, suggestions, etc, and in fact all that did load was the Search bar, but not one of my usual website buttons. The "edit", "help", etc. buttons at the upper left hand corner did load, but that is all.

Not one of the buttons work, nor can I close out the Firefox page, by tapping the "X" in the upper right hand corner.

The only way that I could close out the "Firefox Page" was by going through the "Control/Alt/Delete" & then "Signing Out", which would initiate a "Re-start". Once I signed in, I could return to the Desktop, where everything works.

I use Firefox as my Browser on my Android phone, & at this moment, I've not had any problems using Firefox on my Cell Phone.

The only way that I could get to the Mozilla Website was by using the Microsoft Edge Browser, which is not giving me any problems as far as accessing the Internet!

How can I correct this problem, & go back to the Firefox Browser?

Hi All,

I've set Firefox to open PDFs in the default system application (I'm on Linux, KDE, Firefox 146). With previous versions it worked fine. Now, it won't open the file; instead it shows a popup that I have to click to open the file.

Is there a setting I can tweak to get the old behavior back?

Thanks

Firefox Sidebar view only shows a 'Search' window and no Bookmarks or History lists

I have never had this problem before.
I can still view Bookmarks or History but only if I select it.

Hiya.

So if I download an attached file on gmail using Firefox... it crashes. If I open up a new tab on Firefox... it crashes. It only started this week.

I'm using 12.7.6 and I really don't want to go back to Chrome, so I hope you can help.

The macbook completely freezes apart from the mouse pointer which moves, but cannot open a thing. Every time I have to turn the macbook off to restart it.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.

Best, Mike

The 2-year-old support page "View synced tabs from other devices" gives 2 methods for syncing all your tabs from one Windoze FF to another. Neither one does anything at all for me now. The "right-click on the device in the sidebar" sounded SO promising, but it does not cause anything at all to happen. And checking the "sync tabs" box does indeed make them all show up in the sidebar list, but does not open anything. So besides clicking on each of the hundreds of tabs listed, how can I do this, or is it just another FF functionality lost to time?

Emojis do not show on Firefox 146 on macOS. I downgraded to 145.0.2 and they do show, so it seems related to Firefox 146.

I have macOS 26.2 running in both test cases.

i am trying to type this message on firefox, but i have to avoid shift key not to interrupt typing. when i hot shift+some other keys like i, b, v, etc, devtools pop up. i have checked other forums, other q&a on firefox support, and concluded that the same issue have occurred to many users regardless of the os, features, extensions, various keyboards (but not the virtual one for me) or system settings. i have to type a lot in the browser, so i just choose to delete firefox until someday the issue is fixed.

Hi Team,

after the mentioned update about a week ago, I experience quite some system slowness. Building up new pages takes between 30 and 60 seconds each, and some live streams are interrupted (3 seconds running, 3 seconds stop, 3 seconds running, etc.). This has never happened before. My Internet connection is good (confirmed by the provider), and using Google Chrome, all is as it should be, no slowness, no disruptions.

Can anybody advise, what the cause(s) could be, and how to solve these issues? Please let me know, if you need more information.

I really would like to continue using Firefox.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance,

Michael from Norway

I have upgraded my Firefox to version 146 and I have a disruptive color of active bookmark in left sidebar. How could I change this color into moderate one - dark grey.

I have used Firefox since its beginning. Now I can't access many websites. These include charities, financial institutions, and more. Sites just spin and don't load. I couldn't even print my puzzle tonight. I have no idea why I now have to open other browsers to get anything done.

I am not too sure what exactly causes this (I suspect long periods of inactivity/not interacting with the browser) but when I switch back to one of my firefox windows on my laptop's display (I have my laptop open and connected to an external monitor - so I use the monitor as my main display and my laptop as my secondary display) I get this black border/padding on the side/around my broswer.

See attached images - (might be hard to spot, focus on the sides of the screen). First image is how the browser normally looks like. The 2nd image is with the random black border/padding.

How do I stop this from happening? I've tried looking online for someone else havig the same issue but cannot seem to find anything.

For the last two days, I have been ubable to access settings (X,). When I click the settings cog in th toolbar, thr toolbar grays out. I have also tried to access settings using the Hamburger Menu, clicking on settings, with the same result. I have clicked on Firefox in the menu tab, same result.

I have closed and restarted Firefox, with the same result.

Additionally, I can only close Firefox by force quitting. I don't know if the two are connected.

TIA. Keith

I am so frustrated and disappointed with the current direction that Mozilla is talking with Firefox and AI Integration. I have used Firefox for years and have financially supported Mozilla in the past. For the time being, I am sticking with Firefox because the Al integrations can currently be turned off. I believe these options should be opt-in NOT opt -out. I feel loyal and dedicated to Mozilla's valves of privacy and a free-internet. But I will not think twice about jumping ship to another browser if Mozilla continues on this path of full-throated support and opt-out AI integration into Firefox. And I refuse to continue my financial support of the Mozilla foundation while this is the current direction of Mozilla leadership. I sincerely hope leadership will take the feedback of the community seriously and alter the current direction for the browser.

linkedin My Network opens in a short square box in the top left corner of screen in fire fox win 7. what is the fix Not only this, when I visit Cell website to download research papers, the site is shown as text in vertical line only.

I have been using Firefox for years and years. The only reason I still use it now is that I am currently able to disable the AI features. I do not want AI in my web browser. I heard that the new CEO wanted to integrate MORE AI into Firefox and I am against this direction! I will probably not fund Firefox development again if they do this. I do not require a reply to this thread and will probably ignore replies. If I become aware of a better way to express my opinion to the CEO, I will also do that.

I just moved to a new Windows 11 PC from my Windows 10 PC. I backed up my Firefox profile and put it on a portable drive. I loaded Firefox on the new PC and then found the folder where the profiles are. I added the profile folder from the backup. Firefox has not found it and there is no way I've been able to discern to search for it.

I added the anti-virus after trying to set up Firefox.

Here are the particulars: Firefox version 146.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Application Binary: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Profile folder: C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx.default-release

Any help appreciated.
