I've been using Firefox on my Windows tablet (Win10) for years. After I installed version 138.0, my On Screen Keyboard (OSK) keeps popping up. Very Annoying! The OSK pops up every time I change tabs, or click a control like a drop down menu or check box on a web page or in the Firefox UI. Seems like the Firefox developers may be working on this problem because in version 138.0 clicking on a text input box did NOT bring up the OSK, but in version 138.0.1 clicking on a text input box does bring up a the OSK, but clicking other controls and switching tabs still brings up the OSK. Other applications on my tablet only bring up the OSK when I click a text input field.

Under about:config I tried setting ui.osk.enabled = false. That does not help. Seems that another OSK preference was non-default, but I changed it back to default, not sure which one.

Help would be much appreciated.

Good Morning,

Since the last update of Firefox, the functions usually availablewith the right click no longer work. And the drop down menu, the menu bar buttons are inactive.

How to solve this problem please?

Can I please get an explanation for this

link text

When I click in the search field, outside of the text, I only want to bring the search field into focus. I don't want it to highlight anything.

When I single click on a word, I'm trying to edit, 'not 'highlight.

When I double click on a word, I'm want to highlight only that word. A triple click would highlight everything.

Is that possible?

Altering these to false does nothing: browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll , browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll

Now there is no "other" category for topic of question. This concerns display, layout, and functionality.

Having a huge problem with Firefox recently. It looks and behaves like Microsoft type display, security, and function all around has been superimposed on Firefox. Every time I need to do something online my effort is first redirected to trying to fix configuration problem on Firefox.

It is bad enough to have to do battle with windows 11 to config the layout and display so that it is functional instead of going from one screen to another and another when there is an issues that needs configuring, which always then requires a search and fixing it in Microsoft registry (if possible). Now that is happening with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality which requires a search try to find a page where some kind soul has provided a fix for FF via about:config (if possible).

My brower updated to 136.xx in mid-march after I had already disabled auto update. However, have not had problems until recently, so it seems to be something the microsoft system has started doing to compromise the configured functionality of Firefox. It is no impossible to update or change passwords because "microsoft security" has taken over. Did Microsoft buy controlling interest in Firefox, or what.

Today The layout has started being a problem too. Very elementary without features, with huge words and images although I have changed nothing in Firefox. It is as dumbed down and tedious as Windows 10 when it was brand new. I use a desktop and I really don't want it to look and behave with the limits, and appearnace of a large sized mobile phone screen.

No Firefox update since mid March is showing, however something is interferring with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality. I can only guess it is the Windows 11 OS . . .

Is there a way to protect Firefox from Microsoft meddling with the Firefox configuration?

I have not yet tried to stop enhanced security in each website that is a problem (though most of them currently are, not simply individual websites). Perhaps that is the problem . . . at this problem it needs to be universally disabled if that IS the problem. All the additional security being piled on is simply hoops to jump through for users. We all know it does not stop the pros who are intent on hacking as a team sport. I really do not want to have to fool around signing to a Firefox account, and getting a code to be able to complete the signin to be able configure the brower to simply access the internet.

Starting to think FF, including support, is being managed and responded to by A.I. - which always ends up being a programmer problem that creates the limits. Intentional or not is the question.,,,,

Hoping some kind souls have found solutions, or locations to solutions they are willing to share.

Thanks - from redirected and disenchanted in ABQ

Hi, I posted this here, move as you wish. FF dev 136.0b9, w11p. Not seen issue before. This is using the text box option (tx for having that). Please view the image. When I activate the text box, the "color-size" choice box opens & stays open. This choice box BLOCKS the cursor & kb entry. Clicking outside the box doesn't help, nor hitting escape. I just want that "choice, color-size" box to disappear so I can continue to type on the same text box. Thanks, & tx for a generally great product I've depended on for decades.

In the distant past, I used to be able to set Firefox to NOT auto-highlight the URL-bar when I single-click.

At some point Firefox removed this ability. I was wondering in 2025 if there is some workaround to get this function working again.

I would like to have Firefox work this way: -a single click places the cursor in the URL-bar without any highlight (if I want the entire URL-bar highlighted, I will use CRL+L) -a double-click will highlight a specific word or content between two dots (e.g., double-clicking on "mozilla" will highlight just mozilla in support.mozilla.org -it's fine with me if a triple-click highlights the entire URL-bar but I don't require it.

See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1948388 & https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951239

This has been going for the past 11 years or so.

middle mouse button isnt working since update.

i had it so that a middle click on it would open a new tab to the right of the other tabs.

i have looked and checked browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick and its TRUE.

any suggestions. it is just since update i'm sure of that.

I have a problem with a bookmark i want to drag in. On a website i have used for many years there's this one bookmark that's like an extension for a website. Thing is, it works perfect on other search engines but now when i switched i want it here on firefox too! I can't drag it in the bookmarks tab thing. It's a very long javascript code, but it's very useful. could anyone please help me fix this problem?

Hello, Win11 Pro 24H2 Firefox 136.0.2 (64-bit)

When I alt tab over to my firefox windows and then press ctrl t to open a new tab it does not work most of the time. I have to sit and hit the keys 10-20 times before it will allow me to open a new tab. Do you have any idea why this is happening? I have tried safe mode with firefox and the issue persists so it is definitely not any extension that I run.

When opening several tabs they start to shrink down to the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth for which the default is too small for my sensibility. I've tried messing with it to make it more tolerable but what I really would like is to be able to set the tabs to not change size at all. I would like them to stay the default size. Of course let users have smaller tabs if they like, but let us not if we don't want it.

My second issue is when you have many tabs open and you scroll through them with the mouse wheel, it scrolls 6 tabs at a time per mouse wheel input. I would like it to do 1 tab per mouse wheel input just like if I was clicking on the arrows at the top to scroll through tabs. It just makes sense to stay consistent or to have an option in the config that controls tab scrolling.

These are things users used to have control over and were removed. Unless a setting in about:config was renamed to something weird and I'm just missing it, the settings that replaced these options are insufficient.

I am just writing to tell you that you can go stick your latest "new and improved" feature (note extreme sarcasm) in AI chatbots where the Sun don't shine.

Someone tell me is Mozilla trying to destroy Firefox?

Are they trying to get people to move to Edge, Chrome, Safari or Opera?

If they are they are going the right way about it!

I am getting sick to the back teeth of Mozilla forcing their crap down our throats.

I have lost count the number of times I have had to go into about:config to turn off the latest crap FX has forced down our throats over the years.

None of us asked for AI Chatbots which is one of the worst ideas ever invented.

I already had to delete Microsoft CoPilot from my PC last September now I had to do it with FX.

Everybody do this and it works:

Goto address bar and type in about:config, goto the search bar and type chat and where it says browser.ml.chat.enabled change from true to false and you will be rid of those garbage chatbots.

I have done that for every forced you you feature FX has added over the years like Pockets and Screengrab and all the other garbage they have added over the years.

Hello,

Suddenly some UI elements became color-inverted or almost completely black, such as the tab icons in the tab bar, the website icons on the New Tab page and some icons in the settings menu. Also, some websites appear to have this issue, but the Samsung website is the only one I found so far with this issue.

On the same day it happened I switched to an OLED HDR-capable monitor, so I assumed it would be related to HDR, but I played around with some settings and I'm not sure anymore.

What I tried: - hardware acceleration on and off - HDR completely on and off - default light theme and dark theme, no customs themes installed - all extensions disabled (I have no extensions that would influence graphics or colors anyways) - latest update already installed - nothing else changed in the Nvidia control panel as far as I remember

None of the above helped. Any advice on this is appreciated. Attaching some pictures with the issue. Using Windows 11.

Thank you!

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie
