Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

Hello,

I am in a situation where I am a student at the university of Gothenburg. At the university the students have their own spaces at a cyberspace cloud storage facility. The place is called Canvas. In Canvas the students subject are lined up and information about each subject is also stored and other features about the students education. The place is only about university information and education. Yesterday, I tried to log in to my account into Canvas at the university of gothenburg, at Handelshögskolan on my computer. It was not a success. I tried to use the regular webbrowser for Apple, Safari, but it was not a problem there and I was able to login. I was also able to login to my account on my cellphone, which is logged in via an application downloaded from Appstore.

I do not wish to use Safari because it is not purposeful in the usage in the direction via education that i am looking to achieve.

How can you help me solve this please?

Since Version 145.0.2, November 26, 2025, 1. firefox won't print anything anymore. No matter the way that I select something to print (print to PDF, print to printer), firefox won't print anything anymore. The print options screen does pop-up when "print" is selected , but when "print" is selected on the print screen pop-up nothing happens. This includes the "print to PDF" function as no "save to" file folder pop-up opens to select where you want to save the pdf file to. After an update prior to the "Version 145.0.2, November 26, 2025" firefox no longer allows you to move your tabs from their original positions to the left or right along the tab bar in the browser. I use to be able to click on & select one or more tabs and move those tabs anywhere to the left or right of their original position to anyplace along the tabs bar. NOW at present, the only way to move any tab's position is by "right clicking" on the tab, select from the drop down "move tab" and selecting 1 of the 3 options ("Move to start", "move to end", & "move to new window"). You can also add tabs to groups through the "right clicking" process. Unfortunately you can't simply move tabs in any other ways without using those "right click menu options. This is VERY frustrating because I constantly move tabs (or strings of tabs) to better group them without having to add them to specific "groups". And speaking of groups, you can no longer rearrange the tabs in "groups" either.

These are both some of the most basic and general functions for firefox that no longer work in firefox 64 bit on windows 10 OS (my primary PC, but the same holds true on Windows 11). You should also note that recent updates also occured on both Windows 10 & Windows 11. I am still currently able to print from and move tabs in the Edge browser which I have had to start using more & more since these functions stopped working in the firefox browser. I've always preferred using firefox even though it is a huge resource hog, but if firefox doesn't fix these problems soon. I will have to resort to using the Edge browser over using the firefox browser. That reminds me of a 3rd problem with your "unload tab" function, 3. The "unload tab" function ONLY works if you click on and open the single tab first. The "unload tab" function ONLY WORKS for a SINGLE TAB at a time. When/if you select multiple tabs and select the "unload tab" function in the "right click" drop-down, ONLY the first tab selected and that you are currently on, using, and viewing will "unload" while NONE OF the remaining selected tabs will "unload". You need to make a way to "unload" ALL TABS that you are NOT currently viewing/using as "unloading" tabs one at a time is painfully tedious. The "unload tab" function would be a great idea to reduce firefox from being the huge memory hogger that it is, but only if you make using the "unload tab" function's use less tedious. Perhaps Mozilla should consider making the "unload tab" function less necessary, by either making the "unload tab" function automatic and not NEED to run every opened tab until said tabs are actually in use & actively being used OR BY making firefox less of the enormous resource hog that it has become.

Hi,

Since last week I am unable to properly use some websites that are failing due to CORS requests, but they were working before. Some examples are es.webuy.com or a local Jellyfin instance. After trying to enable/disable some settings that I thought could be related to the problem, like security levels, I ended up creating a new profile. In this new profile everything works, but as soon as I synchronize my Mozilla account, then these websites start failing again with CORS requests errors.

Any idea about what setting might it be the one causing problems? Or any idea about how can I debug/troubleshoot it myself?

Thanks!

To whm it may concern, Having the same problem as others with homepage shortcuts and Its absolutely absurd - I want FAVORITES shortcuts on my home screen, not shortcuts for every flamin page I visit (mind you, your new shortcuts creation option is designed so poorly, if I sign into something like an email account, it saves shortcuts for the initial page, the login page and the landing page! - Seriously Mozilla??) The box you once checked to save favorite site shortcuts now says "sites you save OR VISIT". Thats just utterly ridiculous, especially when I have set cookies and history to be deleted on browser exit.

PLEASE FIX THIS - Not user friendly in the least Thank You

Immediately after my last Mozilla update, the system asked me if I wanted Firefox as my search engine. I clicked yes, as I always do when prompted. I don't know if this is the cause or if there's another connection I'm missing, but since then I haven't been able to access other websites. Every time I try, an error message appears saying "Oops, the system has crashed..." or something like that. However, if I use Google or Edge, everything works fine. How can I fix this problem? Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.

Why so many 'I am not a robot" picture checking and redundancy on motorcycles too? It's blocking my Firefox website address defaulting to Google's address bar? Only change I made was activating my AVAST security VPN subscription.

The scrollbar slider isn't displaying correctly. If I grab the screen, zoom in, and look very carefully, it is possible to see that the slider is a very slightly different darker shade of grey to the rest of the scrollbar, but it's almost impossible to see, so something is clearly not working properly here. The scrollbar should be highly visible as it's the most often-clicked control of the entire browser.

Firefox continues to freeze up even after many FF updates. I am running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Firefox freezes for no apparent reason. I am lucky if I can just close the browser. But often times I must do a hard shutdown of my laptop. Since the problem first appeared about six (?) months ago there have been a number of Firefox updates, but this problem continues. When will it be fixed finally?

I am not too sure what exactly causes this (I suspect long periods of inactivity/not interacting with the browser) but when I switch back to one of my firefox windows on my laptop's display (I have my laptop open and connected to an external monitor - so I use the monitor as my main display and my laptop as my secondary display) I get this black border/padding on the side/around my broswer.

See attached images - (might be hard to spot, focus on the sides of the screen). First image is how the browser normally looks like. The 2nd image is with the random black border/padding.

How do I stop this from happening? I've tried looking online for someone else havig the same issue but cannot seem to find anything.

Since updating to last version, when trying to access my two banking accounts, on different banks, the send button, when entering my user and password, doesn't do anyting. All other buttons and links respond.

Firefox browser: why are you still not able to restore all open (non-private browsed) web pages after a reboot of firefox although you promise it in the reboot annoucement (if not private browsing)? Why is Chrome able to do so since years but you still are not able to despite your official announcement/statements?

1) If I don't see an Https://"'at the beginning of your Mozilla url in the top of my address line I don't proceed further.

2) My cell phone isn't working presently so when you offer an option to confirm who I am by sending a number code to my cell phone number I'm unable to use that option it to confirm who I am. How 'bout coming up with an additional alternative or two for confirming?

Many thanks!
