Firefox Community Forum

When I open Firefox for the first time or on a new window the cursor automatically is in the address bar. I prefer to have the cursor to default into the search box. I don't want to search with the address bar. It did not used to be this way on my old laptop.

What the hell do you guys do with the latest update?? My home page is all screwed up and does not look or act at all as my old home page. Apparently there is no way to go back to the "old" look and feel. Not a good decision. Seriously thinking of abandoning Firefox (since I used it in WIndows-7) for a browser that will make my life easier, not harder. At 81 years old I don't time to waste futzing around trying to get my home page to work. "Technology getting in the way of Life." If someone want to guide me to getting my old Firefox home page back, email me. Bob

This concerns both Privacy/Sec. as well Performance/Connect. : Problem #1: I CANNOT Stay connected to Firefox!! I am running an (refurbished) Older laptop (Win11home). I have ended up having to reset my "Default Browser" each time I change a site?? No matter what I have tried (un- and re-install the software, etc.) I set as default - which currently performs for exactly one click.

Firefox/Mozilla/TB do not even SHOW on the list when trying to set as Default.

The ONLY non-MS product that IS listed is "DuckDuckGo for Firefox". I used to feel comfortable with them, but no longer feel "safe" using them as a relay to you. This is because seemingly no matter what I do, I am still getting 100's of un-asked for emails AND 100's more of phone calls/texts EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yikes!

I take great efforts to fill out every site to exercise my California rights on every site I click on... "no soap". Even that process has become so complicated, that if a "one click" opt-out isn't available - sending emails, etc. that if there isn't a preference option I don't use that site ever again for any reason.

Related Problem #2: I love LOVE your relay for emails/and phone calls... That's NO LONGER available either - WHAT???!!! Worse still, when I follow instructions HERE... go to Settings/Privacy - there isn't even a "Passwords" setting option. The whole catagory is just Gone.

I admit, I am a Senior and not that skilled at computers... but I spend HOURS researching and trying to learn. Since AI was Officially activated... these problems didn't exist.

I am SOoooo tempted to throw the darn thing in the trash... however the State of CA says I MUST have an email to even get a REAL ID. As I interpret the Law... I MUST maintain an email/phone. I live Very Rural can't even get a landline. I don't have a passport and now cannot Fly in my own Country (never intending to even leave the US until I was much more "retired" than I am now, lol) but now I can't even "opt-out" on my birth-state's website either.

Problem #3: Not as severe... but similar problems also exist on my two iOs platforms as well (iPhone/iPad)

I searched this site pretty thoroughly... only ONE person reported a similar problem (Problem #1) and so far there wasn't response after 5 days. Hopefully this post draws the attention of Admin, as I have spoken to other Seniors near me who are experiencing the same types of issues... but appear far more reticent to report.

HELP??!!!

I've recently decided to return to FF. On the whole everything is going fine, except for streaming. I often use my provider's site (nostv.pt) to watch some games, races or shows. However, every time I do, I'll get backwards skips every now and then where the stream goes back 1-2s. Usually the second time this happens the stream detects I'm no longer live and I can skip ahead to real time, but this is annoying, especially when watching games. During a 2h stream session this will happen around a dozen times.

So I would like to know if there are other people with the same issue or what I can do to prevent this from happening.

I am experiencing an issue with vertical tabs that appears once more than 3 tabs are open. This is happening on the .deb installation of Firefox (version 136.0) across 3 different devices, with different profiles, also when all extensions are disabled. The issue seems to be specific with vertical tabs, as it does not happen with the classical horizontal ones.

The issue: In the vertical tabs sidebar I can move any tab up to any desired position. However, when moving a tab down, the next 2 positions are inaccessible (unless the lowest position in the sidebar is reached in less than 3 steps), it can only be moved to any position lower than that.

Illustration: Assume you had 5 tabs open, named A, B, C, D, and E. And let's assume you wanted to move tab B one position down to be situated between C and D. What I currently have to do to achieve that, is to move B below E (3 positions down: A, C, D, E, B), before I can move back up above D (2 positions up: A, C, B, D, E).

Seeing how tedious that is, I can only assume that it is unintended behavior caused either by a bug, or a setting (if so, which parameter in about:config should I look for?).

Any suggestions to resolve this are appreciated.

Well I did send a rather question about 5 minutes ago, not sure if I am repeating myself. Bottom line is how do I reset my Mozilla password as I cannot log into my mozilla account.

last year (not sure whenO my firefox crashed and so my grandson put me back on the older Google Chrome which I did not like because I could not get my bookmarks on easily. I have attempted to get back on firefox, and seemed ok at least i got my bookmarks. I also thought I had created a password, but most of the time I can not log in to some sights. My email address is always the same rosehallmanorbj@comcast.net. So my question is, am i actually completely set up in firefox? at one time I thought I created a password to log into firefox but it does not allow me in. Please let me know it I am totally with my account, and if so how do I get a password to log in. Thank you.

how can I get the DATE & TIME of a Mozilla Firefox internet search in my history file???

I need to have this info to help document some fraudulent credit card problems and when I had contacted Microsoft.

Thank you for your time and assistance ahead of time!
