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.

I may have a problem with the new Firefox version 152: from my online application, I send a command string to a local printer reachable at https://192.168.1.xxx. It often succeeds, but sometimes it gets blocked. I don't understand what the problem might be because I don't get any error messages. The only thing I see that's different from the usual is this:

Local network access detected: main site "https://www1.storesales.it/alpha/RTL/veve.php", initiator "https://www1.storesales.it/alpha/RTL/veve_chiudi.php", accessing destination "https://192.168.1.xxx/cgi-bin/fpmate.cgi" (192.168.1.xxx:yyy) via xhr. Safe context: True, action prompt: (null)

However, it looks like an informational message saying everything is OK.

It seems that Firefox sometimes waits before sending the XHR call, which causes the call to time out. I have no evidence to confirm this. I don't know where to look for evidence. What can I do?

As of 4/20/ 2026 When attempting to save pictures or saved pictures, Fire Fox is only offering Full view , and showing full view as the only option regardless of the formats, and especially the center option which I use with my desktop black background. This is one of my favorite features of Firefox and looks like a glitch. I would suspect Windows , except that Firefox shows the formats of center, stretch, tile, and each one shows only the full view in the display box. does anyone else have this problem? I am stressed...

Hello, In my prior versions of the Firefox browser for Windows 10, I saved and used 1 row of shortcuts right under the search field of the browser. When I updated to v151, the same saved shortcuts keep overwriting with recently viewed pages, just like the history list. Is there a way to stop the browser from overwriting my saved shortcuts row? Presently, I have to manually delete every single overwritten shortcut to maintain a clean list of saved shortcuts after having browsed to other websites; this cleanup process is getting old! FYI, I do used the bookmark toolbar also, but there just a few saved shortcuts that I like to have and frequently use in the single row of shortcuts. Please advise how to save my succinct row of desired shortcuts if that's now possible to do. Thank you.

I reinstalled Firefox and imported my bookmarks from a .json file that I made on 5/19/26. Firefox imported them but I can only open a handful of them. I can't even open Google or Yahoo mail. One time I got a message on a page that didn't open that says "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker." I don't know how to disable JS and Google won't open so that I can find out how to do it. I have no ad blocker running.

Please let me know how this can be fixed.

I changed my password, i got an email that a new recovery key was created. i was offered to download it during the process, but some addon closed that window. how can i get my new recovery key? thank you.

Settings for font do not help. Font now looks very thin and almost blurry. Not clear, dark lines like always in the past.

My setting are Arial size 16. Under advanced, it show Arial Monospace size 13.

Cannot refresh application is the message I get when I want to use outlook.com to access my emails through Firefox browser..'

I gave permission to access/show my location. I live in Western New York. When I do any searches instead of showing results in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area of New York, I get search results from Canada. How do I turn off or correct my location?

Been having tab crashes every couple of minutes - doesn't matter what the site is, the tab will crash out and I'll have to refresh. I have a laptop that is synced that I also use that doesn't have this issues - it's isolated to the PC.

Tried sfc, DISM, hardware and memory checks - all come back good. I'm inclined to believe it could be something on the operating system and not hardware, but I also recently reinstalled Windows. I had another thought that it could be something with JavaScript (seemed like a common theme in the error reports, but I'm not 100% what I'm looking at or for).

FIXED IT - browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled turned to False! Ok to delete my question. I don't see how to do it. Thanks.

Firefox was updated yesterday. Now I have a large white area above the Firefox logo, and the second row of the tiles is at the very bottom of the screen. I have poor eyesight, and I need to use the internet Zoom setting at 120%. Everything was fine before the update. Please see attached - this is just the left side snippet, but you can see the center of the page is all in the lower half. I'm not tech-savvy, so please give me plenty of steps. Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to customize the "Shortcuts" section on both Firefox for Android and Desktop homepage. I only want this section to display websites that I have explicitly pinned or added myself. However, if there are any empty slots left in the shortcut grid, Firefox automatically populates them with random websites from my browsing history. Is there a hidden setting (perhaps in about:config) or a native way to completely disable these auto-generated history shortcuts, so that only my manually added sites are shown? Thank you

Using Firefox on Windows 10 Pro & 11.

Beginning in v 150.0, when a media playback occurs, the audio volume in the player gets set to its maximum level. This is true for X.com media and for YouTube videos.

For YouTube it only happens for the first video played in a new tab; subsequent videos in the same tab 'remember' the volume setting from the prior video. In X.com, every media player invoked reverts to the maximum audio level.

In v 149.x and earlier, the media player maintained the audio level from its prior invocation.

Is there a way to have the media player 'remember' its previous audio setting when it gets invoked?

I recovered them once by choosing a different default profile. Then the next time I opened Firefox both the saved profiles had no passwords.

I can find the referred files on the desktop, but don't see real steps on what to do with them, and if they're the ones in the now password list-less profiles they will be useless anyway.

I really don't know what to do. It seems every time I open Firefox it updates and half the time I lose all my bookmarks, all the time I have no passwords. Right now I have bookmarks but no passwords on the desktop. I have everything on the Android phone only.

I'm on Windows 10 still on the desktop, but my windows 11 surface pro 8 now seems to have lost passwords, too!

Is there a way to download and not lose anything, then import back to desktops?

I'm afraid to sync, in case the desktop takes precedence and erases all my passwords on my phone!

I have MozillaFirefox-140.4.0-150200.152.207.1 on OpenSuse Leap 15.6. In my "Settings" under General and Startup I have always had the option "Open previous windows and tabs" checked.

This just started happening recently. After the first time it happened, I restored everything by searching through "History" and recreating the tabs and windows. Everything seemed OK for a few days then it happened again.
