I don't like to use the address bar to type searches. I like using the SEARCH BOX in Firefox's New Tab instead. But, with each update, I once again have to try to figure out how to set Firefox searches to be typed in the search box. Is there any way to set this so it doesn't get changed with every update?

The mute tabs icon is just a waste of space as soon as you get a few tabs loaded and the tabs shrink. I have multiple tabs showing at the moment where I have clicked on the icon and unmuted them when just trying to select them. It does not help that the icons have been placed in almost the exact centre of the tab, at least with the 19 I have showing in a mix of muted/unmuted. Only 7 of these tabs are still muted, although I did deliberately unmute one to check the action.

I would prefer it if these icons are not showing as they are a waste of space and my time. If you hit the icon the tab is not brought to the front as intended so you have to click on them again. I just want the tabs to work like real tabs.

Is there any way to remove the feature altogether? I have after a lot of frustration just reduced the sound for Firefox in the Windows Volume Mixer as I did before tab muting was thought of. I almost never use sound in Firefox anyway.

normally i just click the forefox icon on my taskbar and type claude.ai in the address field but today i was messaged that the claude program needed a mozila account - so I had to set one up. why and still cannot get to Claude

When I try to sign in to a particular site FireFox gives me this warning:

"Your username or password is incorrect.

You can try again or skip the password by scanning the QR code on this page."

However, the user name and password ARE correct and I can log into the site with that username and password on other browsers like Safari.

Is there any way to fix this?

Hi, Since the last update for Mozilla on the laptop (updated on 6/Oct/2025 - version 143.0.4 (64-bit)), all the shortcuts to websites in Firefox homepage I had pinned have disappeared. Also I can't add new shortcuts. I already have shortcuts enabled in Settings>Home>Firefox Home Content>Shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Kind regards.

A recent update (https://windowsreport.com/firefox-fixes-an-8-year-old-windows-bug-that-broke-virtual-desktop-use/) has broken behavior I previously depended on as part of my workflows: If I clicked a link in one desktop, it would open that link in the browser instance on the last desktop I'd used, so I could keep all my browser windows on one virtual desktop full-screened for easy viewing, then slide back to my other workspaces for messaging/writing/etc.

Now, apparently as a bug fix, every time I try to open a link on a desktop, it creates a new Firefox instance in that desktop instead of opening the link in the browser I have open on other workspaces. This has dramatically impacted how I work. How can I restore the previous behavior? It is so disruptive having new windows opening all the time instead of keeping them in my dedicated browser workspace. If there isn't a fix for this, I will need to move to a new browser.

Hi

I cannot reactivate spell check as I type, with English dictionary and the thick box ticked. Previously I could not get rid of spell check in my 2nd language (Turkish) but as I have managed, now I cannot restore spell check in English.

Can anyone help please?

Should I delete and reinstall Firefox? If I do will I lose my bookmarks?

Thanks in adance to all.

popped up after an update, not only is it slightly distracting but also annoying as now when i try to pick up or select a tab by putting my mouse at the top of the screen it does nothing, as i select the useless black bar instead

I am not aware of having adblock. I have looked in settings and don't see it on but Angels Gifts won't let me collect my game pieces because it says it detects adblock. I looked in extensions and don't see it. what should I do?

I logged into my computer this morning and opened up Firefox, went to a online account to login and clicked on passwords from the sidebar and when it opened up it stated that I had no passwords saved and my profile had also been disconnected. I reconnected with my profile and all of my passwords are missing. Where are they?

In `about:config` I set `mousewheel.with_control.action: 3` quite a while ago, and today, after an update it stopped working. Current version: `146.0.1 (aarch64)`. Any idea why?

I use Firefox for privacy, lack of bloat, and other ethical reasons. For these reasons, I don't want to have the new CEO keep the incorrect idea in his head that the people who use Firefox want AI. Please don't add more AI, if anything--- please remove the AI which has already been added to Firefox which users have to remove themselves. I will dump Firefox if the new CEO continues with this plan.

I've noticed that Youtube videos on Firefox are far more washed out when compared to Google Chrome. HDR is enabled on my Monitor and in Windows 11; however, the issue is present for standard SDR videos as well. Any idea what is going on here?
