I find the new split view feature to be great, however I do find some basic keyboard shortcuts missing.

Things like: Focusing the other view Closing a view Splitting

Would be great to have these basic ones.

I'm now switching to chrome as I don't want things just showing up in my browser. You must be stupid to think dropping things nobody wants into your product will make people want to use your -->

Hello, when I am using a login form, it sometimes suggests an email I can use, but I do not want this behavior in case I am sharing my screen. And some of the emails that are suggested are also not mine to begin with, so I simply do not want Firefox suggesting it to me.

I would like to disable this feature altogether, but I have looked online, searched the settings, and yet I found no way of disabling this. I even confirmed that my Firefox Passwords doesn't have any entries, so I don't understand where it is getting these emails from. I would like help with disabling these suggested emails.

Pourquoi ne pas proposer l'activation par défaut du VPN intégré au navigateur dès le lancement de Firefox ? Why not enable the browser's built-in VPN by default when Firefox launches?

Hi!

How do I get the sidebar (with vertical tabs) to be expanded whenever I open a new window of firefox? Despite always opening it, whenever I open a new firefox window, it is collapsed.

I'm using version 149.0 (64-bit) from the Fedora repositories.

Thanks!

Please sell me uncapped access with built-in VPN. Let me pay for this. I am not interested in the existing "Mozilla VPN" service because it requires an external application outside of the browser, which is not always compatible with systems mozilla is deployed to.

Before the last update I could enter a search term into the search field, and it opened immediately a box offering the different search engines that I have installed. Just one click on one of them and my search got started (or simply <return> for using the default engine) But now I enter a search term but my search engines are not offered anymore. I have to click the symbol of the current engine to the left of the field and there chose the desired engine. But with this the earch doesn't start yet. It's still necessary to click the "Go"-arrow or press return.

So it got more complicated.

Is there a way to get the old method back?

Thanky you in advance

When I enable the firefox built-in vpn I have an error: "The proxy server is not found

Firefox cannot connect to the server at accounts.firefox.com What can you do?

Try to connect to another device. Check your modem or router. Log out and reconnect to Wi-Fi."

Thanks.

I had some issues with Firefox so I removed and I reinstalled it. I had a Firefox account with sync enabled on since one year ago. However after the update, I couldn't recover my old profile: my bookmarks are gone. I don't know what to do. None of the guides were helpful. With an account and sync on, should have been enough to restore my data, right?

how to see how many time and when I visited a website in firefox. like I visited "https://www.themoviedb.org/person/500-tom-cruise" 10 times. now it only show latest time not the first or secnd or third in firefox. how to see?

I had an issue where my browser disappeared. Here are specifics for my installation.

Name Firefox Version 142.0.1 Build ID 20250827004350 Distribution ID raspberrypios User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0 OS Linux 6.12.62+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.62-1+rpt1~bookworm (2026-01-19)

I relaunched and then restored previous session. After that, I searched open tabs, but when I selected a tab that was reported to be opened,  it was not restored. I went to troubleshooting mode and it worked fine suggesting some issue with an extension.  What, if any logs could I capture to help debug? thanks

This happens on Firefox for Linux Mint 149.0 (64-bit) brand new profile.

This occurs when there are multiple tabs open to the point that they need to be resized after closing a tab.

When I attempt to close another tab with a middle click, all the tabs are resized on the mouse click down action. The tab that is newly under the cursor when middle click is released is closed. This is causing unintended tabs to be closed.

Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

Recently I started having this issue. Whenever I send a tab from my phone into my computer, instead of a new tab opening in whatever window I was last using, a new private window opens and then loads the tab. At first I was only transferring one or two tabs so I didn't really care at the time, copy and paste the tabs into the old window. But when I need to transfer 10+ tabs? how aobut 40? Now it's an issue since you can't just move them. The tabs in my phone are normal too, not private. I have, of course, found no normal setting in either the desktop or android version of Firefox to control this behavior.

I have Firefox 149 and the new Firefox VPN feature appeared with a VPN toolbar button.

I try keeping a very minimalist toolbar, but if I remove the VPN button from the toolbar, then I could not find any menu or setting item to switch the VPN on/off. The VPN section in the Settings only allows feature configuration but not switching the VPN on/off.

Do I miss something obvious, or did the Firefox developer miss something obvious?
