Hello Firefox Support Team,

I would like to report a browser compatibility issue regarding CSS positioning behavior that differs from Chromium-based browsers.

• • Issue Description:**

When an element with `position: sticky` is placed inside a container with `position: fixed`, Firefox treats the sticky element as if it has `position: relative`, effectively breaking the sticky positioning functionality.

• • Expected Behavior:**

The sticky element should maintain its sticky positioning behavior even when nested inside a fixed-positioned container, as it does in Chromium-based browsers.

• • Current Firefox Behavior:**

The sticky element loses its sticky properties and behaves like a relatively positioned element.

• • Use Case:**

This issue particularly affects modal implementations where: - The `body` element receives `position: fixed` to prevent background scrolling - Page elements (such as `.total-section`) should maintain their sticky behavior regardless of changes to the body positioning

• • Browser Comparison:**

- **Chromium browsers (Chrome):** Sticky positioning works correctly in this scenario - **Firefox:** Sticky positioning fails and falls back to relative behavior

• • Request:**

Could you please consider aligning Firefox's behavior with other major browsers? The current inconsistency creates cross-browser compatibility issues and forces developers to implement JavaScript workarounds.

Thanks!

my pc os updated to win 11, browser keeps asking to set firefox as default I have done this several times; in win11 app setting screen; so is it a bug in browser or in win 11, I will hit the ignore option. This is a FYI to Mozilla team. Artwin Sturnacle, asturnacle@msn.com

Your system has now blocked me from accessing Jacquie Larson e-card site to receive or send e-cards. Today it blocked me from opening my statement from Edward Jones. Both of these are sites I have used for years and do not pose a threat to my computer. How do I get rid of this aggressive blocking and get back to reaching these websites?

Hello! I recently used the function to create my own theme for the browser, after a few months I wanted to install another theme (not a custom one, but from the store) and encountered the problem that after re-entering the application my custom theme returns, but another one is specified in the settings, and so after each re-entry.

Hey, I've been experiencing my YouTube and Twitch tabs crashing almost every 20-40 minutes and it's been kind of annoying.

Does anyone know if the crashes are because of my drivers or Windows not being up to date? Never had this issue with Opera before.

Here are the crash reports: link text link text link text link text link text link text link text

Firefox kept eating my RAM, running dozens of processes. I have gone into about:config and set the dom.ipc.processCount to 1 - then I restarted Firefox and found 5 processes running straightaway before even using the browser. I closed it down and have started it again and now there are 11 processes running with just one tab open. Firefox(9044) Utility(7552) JavaScript oracle Network (15912) Data Decoder (11364) GPU (18744) About pages (12536) Preloaded new tab Extensions (20544) Preallocated (16132) Preallocated (13780) Preallocated (16044)

The problem repeats on three different computers which are not infected with malware. One computer with slightly less RAM I now cant even use Firefox at all (though all other browsers work fine) because the tabs constantly crash due to the high number of processes. Is there any way to set the process limit low in a way that Firefox actually responds to?

For some reason, though I have changed absolutely nothing with my browser, now any time a link is supposed to open automatically in a new tab, it opens in an entire new window. My mouse only has two buttons (Magic Mouse on Mac), so there is no way at all for this to be user error in that regard. The best example is in Gmail when you have multiple accounts signed in, you click the profile picture in the upper right and select a different account which then opens in a new tab. I notice that when I use a fresh profile the issue goes away, and migrating a copy of my existing profile between different Firefox versions (this profile I use in 115 ESR exclusively, I don't use it with more than one version, I just mean for testing purposes here), including forks like Waterfox, all are affected by this issue. Is there something in about:config I should look for to change?

I had several pinned tabs set up in Firefox. I switched the Desktop in Windows 11 to use Firefox and to not interfere with my current Desktop Firefox. Afterwards, I discovered my pinned tabs were gone on both desktops.

Is there a way to change the size of the sections in Firefox? For instance, I don't need so much space for the listings of Inbox, Sent etc. or the Tabs but would like to have more space for the web pages themselves. I ask because I've got a sight impediment and have to increase the text size. This means that the web "window" (Sorry, don't know the correct terminology) is so big that I have to scroll down to see it.

The other day I attempted to use a script in the Greasemonkey extension, which would not work for me. I deleted the extension in the end, but in the process of trying to get it to work, I disabled all other extensions for a time to test what the problem might be.

Ever since then my profile seems to be corrupted in some way. I have refreshed Firefox, as well as made a new profile to test where the error must be. As soon as multi-account containers is reinstalled, the problem returns. This includes the fact that yesterday, for unrelated reasons, I decided to install Linux Mint for my OS and stop using Windows - as soon as I signed in my Firefox account and the profile synced in the new OS, the error returned. (The attempt at refreshing Firefox was done after installing Mint; the test profile was done on Windows.)

This is the behavior I'm seeing:

- I cannot drag a tab that's logged into a different container into a tab group with tabs that are not signed into any container. This includes tabs logged in on the Facebook container. - In fact, I cannot drag any tab that is logged into a container anywhere - they insist on being all the way to the right in the list of tabs. - If a tab logged into a container is all the way to the right in any given window, the button to open a new tab will automatically open the tab in that container instead of opening in no container, which is my preference.

I use the multi-account container extension extensively and would like to see this fixed. If anyone has any idea of what could be happening here I'd appreciate the help!
