For the past few weeks, I’ve been having serious issues with the default search/address bar.

Usually when I want to search for something on my default search engine (Google atm), I just type in what I’m searching for in the top search/address bar, press enter and it will give me the google search results. But for the past few weeks, I’ve been having issues with this.

What happens is, when I type in something, press enter, most of the time nothing happens (but sometimes it works as it used to). I then have to mouse-click on the typed in search parameters in the search/address bar and press enter again. At that point it might “hold” and show me the search results. But other times, it doesn’t and I have to repeat the process up to 10 times before it finally holds and shows me the search results.

Even more annoying is when I’m already on some site in Firefox, and I want to type in a new site/search result over the existing one. It used to work just fine. But now, most of the time the same thing happens as above, except that when it doesn’t work the first time, typed in search parameters are gone, as it just shows the last site address in the search/address bar, so I have to go up to the search/address bar, type in the search parameters again, and press enter again, hoping that it will hold that time. If it doesn’t, I just have to repeat over and over again. So it’s basically easier to click a new tab, type the search parameters in there, and spam mouse-click, enter until it holds.

This is getting so annoying that I’m seriously considering moving away from Firefox and going to Chrome, which I honestly hate cause I really don’t want to support Chrome and want to stick with Firefox, but this issue is driving me nuts.

I have also tried troubleshooting the usual thing with “Refresh Firefox” and “Clear Cache”, removed all my extensions, and nothing helped.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening, and why I’m not finding any reports of a similar issue anywhere? What could actually be the issue here?

I recently explored the backgrounds on Firefox. I choose one of the, because they look really nice. But after I changed my Firefox Data Collection and Use settings the background disappeared.

Why do you have to keep "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" enabled?

Hello, I am hoping to escape the Apple + Google search world and am trying out Firefox, which I used to use many years ago.

How do I / Can I show my Safari "Favorites" on the homepage of Firefox? A simple, obvious question, but I have not found an answer in your files.

Thank you,

Hi there! My linux crashed and I only have an access to the terminal now. I'm trying to save login information and bookmarks that were saved in the browser. I didn't use an account. So I'm trying to find a location in the linux system where it was saved. I used 'find' command with key words 'mozilla' and 'firefox' to find possible locations but I'm not sure that I covered everything. Maybe someone here knows exactly where I should look. Thank you for you help and advance :)

When I use ZOOM, the Video does not work. I see the gray lock image not my face.

I have Windows 11, and a Lenovo DESKTOP-S7TI8GU. Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 . 64 bit OS. How do I fix this problem? - Christine

I cant get rid of this unsolicited "sign in with google" prompt which has cost me untold lost time having to type things over because it pops up when im looking at the keyboard while typing , getting noplace ! It is deliberate harassment !

I DO NOT HAVE ANY GOOGLE ACCOUNT AND WILL NEVER HAVE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT .

Therefore I can't sign in using any google account ! Why then do I get this trash ? All the recommended ways to shut it off don't work ! They all talk about going to google account settings ! As I've said , I do not have any google account ! Therefore I can't go to any settings ! I can't get rid of this unwanted harassment !

I want to get rid of this garbage and never want it to come back after any BS "updates"

I just sorted my bookmarks by name and what came back was a list a mile long of bookmarks that included folders and pages that have been deleted for years. If I want to clean the list up, it will take me an eternity. I have no idea how this happened or what i can do to regain the current list of bookmarks that I had. I really need help.

Is there a way to open many pages quickly from history?

Whenever I'm in history and I open a page, the history window closes. In order to open another page from the history I need to go back to menu > history, search through history again, and go from there. I want to open like 5 tabs real quick, as I imagine it 5 quick middle clicks in the history window without the history window closing. Is there any preference for this or extension?

When going to the Settings tab, Firefox shows me the message "browser is managed by your organisation". However, I am not part of any organisation, since I am a private individual.

• What does this message mean?
• How can I remove this message and regain control over the Settings in MY Firefox?

google apps block pops up in upper right corner of gmail each time I change focus without selecting it

I have cleared cache and history. Still pops up. This happened after the last update to Firefox.

I have 2 laptops, one for work and one personally. I was looking to set-up firefox on my personal laptop as well but noticed I cannot open developer console on a specific element by pressing 'q' anymore after right clicking.

This is a significant feature and I would like to keep using it. Is it possible to enable this feature on my personal computer as well? Since it is still enabled on my work device.

Windows 11, Firefox 129.02

I've done both a refresh and a clean install and the problem persists. Fonts set to "allow site to substitute"

In Google Maps (maps.google.com), the street names and route numbers (graphic) disappear after a second. This happens in both regular and incognito windows, and regardless of zoom level.

Oddly, when I set privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config to True, the street names appear, but route numbers are just color boxes. When set to False, I can see both for a second before they disappear.

My phone broke down and I had to send it in, for it to be repaired. As usual for warranty repairs the phone needed a factory reset to be sent in. Before doing that I backed up my session using Firefox sync as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/mobile/backup-recovery-and-sync/backup-data That went fine and I could access the data from my PC.

Now my phone returned, I reinstalled firefox yesterday and immediately after signing in, my backup in Sync was overwritten with a blank session. Is there any way to get the old session back?

How come FF translates sites in tiny, irrelevant languages like Bulgarian, but not from major languages like Chinese and Arabic?!?

I wish I could dump Edge, but this FF deficit forces me to keep Edge on my computer...

I do not understand why AFTER I used Firefox Delete History that my Charter.net email can no longer be accessed.' I have had Spectrum technicians over here, it is not in their wiring, or outside lines. They cannot go further. I attempt to log into Spectrum & this message comes up - A RED !,followed by This feature is currently unavailable. Please try again from HOME or contact us for assistance. IDID-4000'

I AM AT HOME! I worked/talked with 4 different Charter/Spectrum people on the phone over a 3 day period. briefly I was able to get into the Charter account (Necessary because my VA & other medical appointments/communications are via charter.net) using Microsoft Edge. I no longer can. I am getting that message on Edge as well. I do not want to use Edge or Chrome, I want to use my Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird But that is another issue which I cannot get resolved. My monthly contributions to both get through but I cannot even get into Thunderbird for Months & can't get help. At 83, I am computer challenged. Nobody wants to make house calls. What is wrong? What can I do? What do you suggest? Kat Hall

Can't log into NYTImes.com with Firefox. I use Bitwarden for passwords. I also have UBlock Origin, but that should not affect logins. I clear cache and cookies upon browser close. I ended up resetting Firefox entirely, which was a royal pain, it worked for a few days and now is not working again. I have no problems logging in with Chrome but Firefox is my preferred browser.

Also having problems with the captchas on Etsy. I get endless captchas, like for five minutes. I set up 2FA in hopes it would stop with the captchas but that only worked once and now it's endless captchas again. Yet no problems on Chrome.

The NYTimes problem is recent and started early to mid-August 2024. The Etsy problem started maybe late June? Same password manager, same extensions. I hate to go to Chrome every time I need to log in. So far these are the only two websites that consistently give me problems. Does anybody have a fix?

As noted by others about recently-prior versions of Firefox, version 129 ALSO fails to play videos (on Amazon Prime) at HD even though other browsers, Chrome and Edge as examples, work perfectly well. This problem MAY have started with a fairly recent version of Firefox (like 127 or 128). See the post right here by another user, earlier Firefox version, with the EXACT same problem:

Since I am on my new Phone (Xiaomi Poco F6, Hyper OS 1.0.4.0, Android 14.UKQ1.240116.001), I have this weird thing with Firefox that when I minimize it and then come back a few seconds later, it will automatically reload the tab I was on. Which is extremely annoying because, for example, I was on the Paypal page and was getting my login code from messages, then when I got back on the Paypal page it reloaded and I could not insert the code, but had to click on 'send code' again (and again and again). I saw this issue appear multiple times apparently already on reddit and co. But nowhere I could find an answer to it. Someone? I looked in the battery saver settings and in firefox settings etc, but I can't find anything that makes tabs reload automatically and it makes no sense that anything would clear the cache every time I minimize firefox, no?

I have disabled sponsored shortcuts in Firefox settings, and did this when I first set up my browser.

Today when launching my browser the first link in my shortcuts was to @Google which I specifically do not use. I do not use google search. I do not want google search. I do not want cookies or content from google.

Why was this sponsored shortcut pushed to my browser after I disabled sponsored shortcuts?

I have had this CPU for 8 months. I have had issues from day 1 with the stock Fedora install of Firefox where text is missing and some green and/or pink boxes appear where the text boxes should be. This has happened with all versions up to 129.0.

This has only been happening with Firefox. Vscodium, (chrome based) Brave and every other Wayland application including foot and freecad render correctly. it is only firefox and only firefox with this GPU. If I run Firefox under qemu without eGL then the rendering is good. If I run it under qemu and enable the virtioGL driver I get the same issue.

I attach a sample of a screen shot that shows that was captured from the frame buffer. In the bottom left corner, you can see quite a few characters missing. This happens randomly and sometimes goes away when scrolling.

I have seen other issues that say that it is a hardware problem, but I am not convinced. This happened with mesa-24.2.0. Find the glewinfo attached below: (Glewinfo log is very long, uploaded to Pastebin for better viewing) https://pastebin.com/raw/1NMnAjmc
