Firefox is disconnecting my account every time i restart the browser. I've made sure it's not set to clear data when restarting. I found a support forum post for mac where they weren't installing it and were running it from the dmg, but i'm using the firefox that was installed during cachy installation, which firefox gives /usr/bin/firefox, when runnign it from terminal (or anywhere) the command in btop is /usr/lib/firefox/firefox. its really frustrating because i lose my session data, have to log back in again, have to redownload all my extensions, ahve to reconfigure all my extensions every time the browser restarts

I'm on CachyOS on COSMIC de with a btrfs file system. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. I've tried making a new profile. I really don't want to use a different browser, but this isn't functional.

Home page (4 rows, Linux FF) too tiny after update, search results useless

I have used 4 rows of site icons on my home page for years. (Linux FF since 2013, various distros.)

After an update, they became tiny AND so close to the bottom that a zoom of even 110 percent was unacceptable. (I prefer 100 percent.) 100 cut off the labels at the bottom.

I deleted my search bar from homepage yesterday, and had already deleted top stories and weather years ago.

Several searches over the last few days have done nothing.

Screenshot of zoom at 110 and straight 100.

Select hover color problem

Hello! When opening a native <select> dropdown in Firefox, the hover/highlight bar on an <option> does not span the full width of the dropdown popup — it only… (читать ещё)

Hello!

When opening a native <select> dropdown in Firefox, the hover/highlight bar on an <option> does not span the full width of the dropdown popup — it only covers roughly the left portion (about half) of the option row. The rest of the row to the right stays un-highlighted, which looks broken. Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers) render the same markup with a full-width hover highlight.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the attached test page (or any page with a full-width native <select>) in Firefox on Windows. Click the select to open the dropdown. Move the mouse over the options. Expected result: The hover highlight covers the entire width of the option row (full width of the dropdown popup), as it does in Chrome.

Actual result: The hover highlight covers only part of the row width (about half), leaving the right side of the option un-highlighted. See attached screenshots: (attach Firefox screenshot here — and optionally a Chrome screenshot showing correct full-width hover for comparison).

Notes / what I already ruled out:

It is not CSS-specific to my site. I reproduced it with: a styled <select> (custom background/color on <option>, dark color-scheme), a select with the option background removed entirely, the box-shadow: 0 0 10px 100px <color> inset "full-width" workaround, and a completely bare <select> with no custom CSS at all (appearance: auto). All of them show the same half-width hover in Firefox. Chrome renders all of the above with a correct full-width hover. This makes it look like a Firefox-level rendering behavior of the native dropdown popup rather than something controllable from page CSS. Environment:

Firefox version: Latest OS: Windows 11 Display scaling / zoom: (fill in — e.g. 100% page zoom, 100% Windows display scale; mention if non-100%, since DPI scaling can be relevant)

Today I received this email:


Hello,

Your Extension Facebook Filter was manually reviewed by the Mozilla Add-ons team in an assessment performed on our own initiative of content that was submitted to Mozilla Add-ons.

Our review found that your content violates the following Mozilla policy or policies: This add-on has been blocked due to a violation of Mozilla's Policies by the add-on or its developer..

Affected versions: 1.0


If I try to login to https://addons.mozilla.org


You do not have permission to perform this action.


So I guess I'm locked out now it seems, which is weird IMO as it's a very simple add on that collapses Facebook post of users I don't follow. I'm the only user as I did not make it public.


Also "This add-on has been blocked due to a violation of Mozilla's Policies by the add-on or its developer.." eh..? Does FF enforce Facebook policies now? ;-)

My issue is that I cannot appeal as I'm locked out of the URL too.

Any suggestions?

Hi there. The past few weeks whenever I try to view any YouTube embed on any website I just get this error and the video does not play: Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot

Of course I am signed in but it does nothing. It works in other web browsers, just not Firefox. I've tried resetting my cache and cookies, private windows, and disabling all extensions but nothing seems to work.

Firefox on macOS loads, opening all windows open at last Quit; then closes all windows; fails to display the window selected from menu

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7; Firefox 141.0.2

The "one sentence" in the heading states the problem. I am unable to use Firefox. Using Safari to make this post.

Firefox loads. It opens windows (I had fourteen open when I last used it successfully; I have many, many tabs). Then it removes each window from the screen. Firefox is in the Menu bar, but no windows are displayed. The windows still show in the list when selecting Window in the menu bar. Selecting a window in that list has no visible effect. File>New Window opens a new window, which works as expected. With one new window open, File>New Window opens a second.

Typing a few characters in the address bar opens a dropdown with a list of tabs, each with the affordance, Switch to Tab. Clicking on one takes down the list but does not open a window.

I would like, for a start, instructions on how to use Firefox starting afresh with no windows. First: having set aside the data that causes this problem. I suppose that might be simply a new profile. But would like instructions from a person interested in pursuing the problem with me while I continue with the rest of my life.

I'm willing to delete some data from the failing profile, is there is reason to do that, but would like to preserve at least a list of the URLs of the tabs of the windows. Or to learn how to see those in the profile data.

I see four profiles:

  <garble>.default-<13 digit integer>  Date Modified: Today  2.2 GB
  <garble>.Default Profile   Date Modified: Last June   24.6 MB
  <garble>.default-release-1   Date Modified: Last June, five minutes later  93.2 MB
  <shorter garble>.default-release   Date Modified: 2021   13.4 MB

It has been my practice with Firefox and Thunderbird to install and then to create a new named profile for use. But, as you see on the first line above, I did not assign a meaningful name.

If requested, I will post again from a new Firefox window, selecting Share Data.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to make Windows 11 Firefox use separate icons on the taskbar like Chrome does?

On Chrome, if you have multiple profiles open on a Windows 11 PC, they each show up on the taskbar as separate things with the Chrome logo. Meanwhile, with Firefox, separate profiles open windows on the same taskbar icon and simply switch the profile icon. The picture gives an example of what I mean. I've censored some stuff on it, but know that the stuff in white is in one profile while the other has the stuff in black. The gray is unrelated stuff. Claude says Chrome does this by giving each profile a separate AppUserModelID, whatever that is. Is it possible to do the same in Firefox?

I am switching to a new Firefox account and would like all of my current Firefox information and settings to be synced to it. I was previously signed into an old Firefox account. I have copied the old profile into a new profile, but still cannot login to the new Firefox account. How can I do so without losing access to all of my Firefox data?
