On many of the sites that require hardware key for 2FA, what I should get is a prompt to press the Yubikey button, but instead I get a technical error. This has happened with logging into Google and Vanguard. Both use Yubikey as a 2FA.

I did not encountered this issue on Micrsoft Edge. I am running this on Windows 11 24H2. I believe it used to work.

When i try to fullscreen youtube, there is a transparent border on the left and top of the window that will not go away normally. The only temporary fix I found was pressing win+d twice to get rid of it. This seems to be a reoccurring issue as this only happens on firefox and nothing else. This reddit post helped me. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/13eguvp/please_help_transparent_video_border_when_in/

Please let me know how to fix this permanently. I have also tried firefox safe mode and that curiously didnt have borders but even when i went out of safe mode and disabled all my extensions and cleared my cache, it didnt work.

Hello!

I am getting consistent issues with Firefox where the tabs seemingly just crash with no rhyme or reason to them. Could be within a few seconds, could be after a few minutes. Doesn't seem to be one website causing it either as I was worried it was Twitch but I get issues browsing other places too. Any help would be appreciated!

Here are the last 5 crash reports:

THE ABOVE ERROR MESSAGE HAS PREVENTED ME FROM ACCESSING 3 WEBSITES - PaddyPower, Ladbrokes, & UK National Lottery. None of the suggested remedies has had any effect. Can you fix it?

I see no x on tabs to close; I see no "close tab" option in the menu when I right-click on a tab; I see no close tab option in main menu.

1. How do I get the close tab button to show on a tab?

2. How do I close all tabs?

3. Where do I find a close tab command on menu?

4. How can I get to automatically close all tabs on closing?

5. Are there other ways of closing a tab?

Thanks.

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.

It looks like with this new version of Firefox I have to load my saved password file every time I start the browser, and even after doing the reload some of the passwords don't work forcing me to change them, and I would have to do another password save, but if I forget to do it and close the browser all the passwords are delete. I did not have this problem prior to this new install.

Also I prefer to use Firefox as a browser I feel it is way better than Edge and Chrome even though it doesn't work one a two websites I need to use. one only works on chrome the other only works on edge.

Let me know if you need other information.

I am using the new profile switching feature in the UI, from top of the hamburger menu. Firefox is my default browser on Windows.

Now, I want all links I activate from other Windows programs to open in a specific profile. I use the other profiles for auxilary tasks.

Is there any way to achieve this?

2 days ago you tube is suddenly blocked. 11/6/2025 i would click a video, it would "blink" at me and do nothing. i updated firefox, ublock was updated about a month ago and now i can't even get a home page to load. i have refreshed and restarted

I generally always use Firefox on my PC for everything.

I also often chat with Amazon as they are never short when it comes to fucking my orders

I have not used Amazon for the past 2-3 months and when I finally placed a new order 3 days ago, to resolve the usual non delivery issue, I contacted them via Live Chat, however instead of seeing Chat window pop open as usual, all I got was ABOUT:BLANK in new tab, hmmm...

So far to fix this or at least ascertain cause:

- I contacted Amazon.fr (where I live) and guy at digital services said, "nah, no flies on us, it's Mozilla's fault" - Edge, on same PC (windows 10), works OK for chat - Launching in safe mode changes nothing - Nor does disabling NordVPN - I also added Amazon.fr as "exception" in pop-ups, to no avail - and when I unchecked block box to enable all pop-ups, no better luck - lastly, on my iphone via Safari, all is good, assuming one enjoys typing with 1-2 fingers

my version of Firefox is up to date: 144.0.2

voilà

suggestions?

thanks

Every once in a while, my pinned tabs and/or my tab groups disappear. this usually happens after an update, but not always. Sometimes I type a lot of commands, and FF seems to get upset and freezes or goes black. I restart and poof, they're gone. I made a screenshot of my standard pinned tabs so I can restore it from that, which is a nuisance in itself. But the tab groups are gone forever along with the urls I painstakingly researched. I read the answers to two previous queries along these lines, both of which gave extensive, tedious procedures to recover them. I'm not willing to go through all that just to use Firefox. I've switched my tab groups to Edge just to keep them safe and although I prefer not to be captured by Google or Microsoft, am thinking about just switching to either of them.

Over the last couple of updates, FF has seemed less and less stable. I tried the vertical tabs and liked them but the open sidebar on hover stopped working and when the sidebar itself got stuck on open it hid the history and AI sidebars. Plus FF was very slow to open. I reverted to horizontal tabs and now it's faster but still the pins and tab group problems persist.

I'm using it on an HP desktop in Windows 11. Sorry I don't have any screenshots.
