Over the past few updates, I’ve noticed an issue with Firefox where it no longer restores my previous session when reopening the browser.

I normally keep four tabs pinned and about five additional tabs open for browsing and work. In the past, I could simply click the X to close Firefox, and when I reopened it, all my tabs that are pinned and unpinned would automatically come back. Recently, this stopped happening. Now, if I close Firefox, it opens with a fresh window instead of restoring my previous tabs.

I’ve already checked the setting under General/Startup, and Open previous windows and tabs is enabled. Because of this issue, I avoid closing Firefox entirely, since rebuilding all my tabs each time has become a hassle.

Is there a way to fix this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

These are technically two separate issues, but both pertain to functionality of the mouse and keyboard. Whenever I right click to bring up the menu, the options (despite being functional) do not appear in the menu proper. Instead there are just empty buttons. In addition, certain hotkeys aren't working at all. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy paste are doing fine, but Ctrl-T and Ctrl-W to open and close tabs respectively do nothing. Neither of these issues were happening yesterday.

I've been having an issue of, whenever I tab into Firefox from a different application on my computer, the alt menu opens. Firefox seems to be interpreting me opening the program as pressing the alt key, because even when I have the menu bar set to always be open, the input immediately goes to the "File" dropdown option of the menu, just as it would if I pressed the alt key. However, I tried to troubleshoot this by 1. opening a program that tracks keyboard inputs and that didn't show such a thing happening, and 2. I checked if this issue was happening with other applications that have switch the input to the upper menu bar when the alt key is pressed, and that was not the case. This is making it a lot harder to use Firefox, as using a keyboard shortcut to open a new window (ctrl+shift+p, or ctrl+i) while in a normal Firefox tab, it will not automatically open to the new window (as it is set to do automatically), it will also not let me open the new window -- either by alt-tabbing or by clicking the new window on the windows taskbar -- and instead reopens the alt menu and sets the input to that menu, locking me to the original Firefox page unless I tab into a completely different application and then into the new window. This issue also makes me unable to input key commands or text into my active tab immediately when I reopen it, instead forcing me to close the alt menu first either or clicking somewhere on the page. And since I don't keep the alt menu visible at all times, this forces the screen to shift up and down jarringly when I'm simply trying to use the computer.

I'm using Firefox on a Windows 11 computer. I've tried refreshing Firefox and have tried my absolute best to find articles related to this issue but to no luck. Thanks for any help or advice!

For some months now, LinkedIn does not load 90% of the time. It just 'hangs'. It's the only website that this problem happens. So I switch to another browser to access LinkedIn now, which is my most used site.

Really odd. I tried restarting and it didn't help.

All of a sudden it was double spaced and the icons look different, too. I checked and my font selection is the same: Helvetica.

I'm attaching a screen shot.

Suggestions?

I'm running FF on Windows v145.0.1 and navigate to...

    https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/conus_band.php?sat=G18&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24

...and the animation doesn't work. This is a recent phenomenon. I have another computer in the office I've turned off FF updates (obvious reasons) and the animation works fine. It worked on my computer until recently. I'm so exhausted with FF updates that break things, it's getting as bad as Windows. I've run FF in troubleshoot mode, no good. I've added this primary domain to exceptions to enhanced tracking, no good. Nothing works so I assume it's Firefox (may not be). But v129.0.2 works fine, in this respect (streaming the animation loops of GOES West).

Does anyone know what configuration or setting I can explore to make this work again?  :-(

Thanks,

Hi, I unchecked something in my settings and I don't know what I did to cause when I right click to copy something there is no copy and a lot of the rest of the options are no longer there as well. Can you tell me what to do to repair this? It doesn't give me the option to take a screen shot either or I would show you what's left in that popup box. It only give me "Ask an AI chatbot" and the "translate".

Have a nice day, Tom

I am using Pop OS. Videos are not playing in firefox. In youtube it shows loading infinitly. In reddit all videos become green. I tried playing a downloaded video it also become green. These are only happening in integrated mode. If I use hybrid graphics mode all works good. I attached the about:support page and about:config page.

about:config page link about:support page

These files are taken in integrated graphics mode.

Search drop-down list has first Item with blue pushpin symbol next to it and the next item has a blue star symbol next to it. The rest do not have any symbols next to them. I'm using Windows 11, Firefox. and DuckDuckGo.

So I started using Firefox on my older and newer laptops, but I've noticed that on my older laptop it has started giving me the message "You must log in to this network before you can access the internet", although I am already signed in on my Mozilla account there too. My newer laptop has had no issues for the record. Both systems are running windows 11, both have the same account that I am using, etc. If it makes any difference, my older laptop is using an ethernet cable whilst the newer one is connected via Wi-Fi. When I ran into this issue yesterday on my old laptop, the issue somehow resolved itself after I created a bugzilla account, although I am unsure if this was coicidence, so now I am confused why the issue has showed up again. Awaiting any kind of help or advice, thank you.

How do I minimize the web page when I don't see the usual icon at the top of the page. Now, I've attached a screen shot that does not show any icon of other means of minimizing that screen. I'm running Windows 11 and WORD 2021.

The screen appears on Opera and Google Chrome with the icons. Thanks.

Hi Mozilla team! I have a problem which started happening recently, or at least I didn't realize it before. I went through all the articles, tried adjusting density in Customize Toolbar, went through all the settings with systematic approach with ChatGPT, some things in about:config and even tried adding userChrome.css in profile folder but nothing helped.

The problem is that I have PC with dual screen setup, one is 1440p, 125% zoom in windows settings (main) and 1080p, 100% zoom in Windows settings (secondary). When I change both screens to same zoom, everything is fine, but when it's set up like this, on secondary monitor (1080p one) tabs in open browser don't reach top of the screen, in fullscreen mode, that is, I need to move mouse downwards if I want to middle click open new tab or close old one or even simply move between tabs. It's like, it doesn't reach top of the screen for few pixels - it has a ghost gap.

I don't have this problem in any other browser, tried Chrome, Edge... I would like to continue using Mozilla, but this is bothering me. Could you please consider fixing it in some of future releases?

Thank you in advance!

Dear Community,

Since more than a month, when firefox was updated, all my bookmarks seem to be gone,which includes a lot of valuable research made over the past few years.

I have tried all suggestions that google give me to restore my bookmarks, but as far as I understand, there are no newer ones since 2019 (nor older ones than 2018) on my computer? That's what I find in a folder called 'bookmarkbackups' with json-files. Separately I also searched for 'json' and '.jsonlz4' and found nothing after 2019. Also I searched for .html, but nothing seemed to contain bookmark directly.

When I go to manage bookmarks > 'import/export' icon in the upper bar, it suggests two options, for 'nov 13 2025', or today's date), of which none provide me with any bookmarks.

Can I somehow still recover my research?

Do I really need to backup manually?

Or need I start saving all URLs in a word-document for my new research project?...

Firefox seems to update regularly, I currently have version 145.01. (I work on a Mac 2021, with Ventura 13.7.8)

I highly appreciate any advice on this matter.

Kind regards, Maria

I use Arcgis quite a bit for property info and for the last several months, it either won't fully load or has constant freezes when doing anything. It also freezes other windows I have open and most the time when I shut down those windows and start FireFox again, my home screen (Start Page) won't load? I have to dump history/cookies and sometimes flush dns. I contacted ArcGis and they say it works fine on their end. So I suspect FireFox is the issue.

I downloaded the Opera browser last night and it has no problems with this site. I won't use chrome or edge.

Any help figuring out what's going on? I have changed no settings, no vpn, no private browsing either. It seems with each FireFox update, my issues get worse?
