So I just updated to the newest version of Firefox today as of 10-5-26. Except that the purple new tab screen and header for private browsing windows that I really quite liked is not only gone, but the color that's replaced such is nearly black, making it not only much harder to see anything, but overall far worse to look at. Even worse, it doesn't change from such hardly at all regardless of theme, preventing me from correcting it.

I've attached a copy of the previous version of the new tab screen for private browsing that I managed to find for reference purposes, although such doesn't have the header included.

I would also like to take the time say that I've used Firefox for more than a decade, and I think because I haven't had an issue that's been remotely this bad to warrant creating an account to report such says something about how well Firefox has been working for me.

I have the latest Mozilla browser. I have Yahoo Mail and each time I open an email from Kohls.com, the images appear for a split second and then disappear and are replaced by a white box with a little symbol in the upper left corner. This only happens to about half of the images in the email. If I open the email in a separate tab, the email appears normal. This only occurs in Firefox, not in Edge nor Chrome. I have used aI to check all of my security settings and nothing is wrong with them, it is just something of how Firefox renders the Kohls.com emails. They are the only emails that act this way. Please help!

A colleague of mine had Firefox logged in with a Mozilla account, before their computer needed to be reset, we checked and Firefox said Synchronisation was on and last succeeded 1 second ago. We proceeded to undertake the reset, but after logging back into the same Mozilla account, none of the bookmarks returned, nor did any saved addresses, passwords or browser history.

I was wondering if there is absolutely anything that we can do, or whether someone at Mozilla are able to check the account just in case?

I'm fearing the worst, and partially expecting it, but wanted to log here for sanity's sake, just in case.

Many thanks Ben

Hello,

Ever since the last Firefox update (on October 30th for me), the text on my inactive tabs has been painfully blurry (picture attached). I previously restored Firefox to default and seemed to have pinpointed a certain extension as the culprit, as well as a file within the profile named addonStartup.json.lz4. Deleting both seemed to have done the trick. However, my issue is now back, I can't find the previous file anywhere in the profile, deleting all the files in the profile that were created on the day when the problem reoccured doesn't fix it either. So I'm kind of at a loss. I have tried to set "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families" to "Arial,Consolas,Courier New,Microsoft Sans Serif,Segoe UI,Tahoma,Trebuchet MS,Verdana" and "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_max_size" to 15 in about:config ; as this is an old fix I've seen for an older similar problem, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ich wollte die Beihilfestelle beim Landesamt für Finanzen aufrufen. Das ist leider nicht möglich. Könnte es sein, dass es einen Zusammenhang gibt damit , dass ich vor ein paar Tagen ein Antivirusprogramm von Avast heruntergeladen habe, nachdem ich seit Monaten dazu von Avast genötigt wurde, da mein Laptop angeblich schwere Probleme aufweisen würde. Beim Online-Banking hatte ich vor Wochen ein ähnliches Problem (das war allerdings noch vor dem Herunterladen dieses Antivirusprogramms), dass meine Zahlungen nicht verifiziert werden konnten. Nach Kontaktaufnahme mit dem Service der Bank sagte man mir, dass ich einen anderen Browser benutzen solle, da Firefox angeblich Sicherheitslücken aufweisen würde.

This morning when I logged into my computer and opened Firefox, I received pop-up after pop-up message warning me that my computer had been infected with 3 viruses. When I clicked on one of the pop-ups, it took me to where I would have to pay something like $160 to fix it.

I immediately ran a virus check on my computer which showed absolutely NO THREATS. Since I these messages do not appear unless my Firefox browser is opened, I believe it is malware that potentially has invaded Mozilla.

I am reporting this, asking that you fully check this out. I am VERY careful what I click or do not click, and my system says there is nothing. Please help.

On Windows I have my bookmarks arranged in folders. On Android each folder appears multiple times, with different numbers of bookmarks. I have re-installed Firefox on my phone. I had trouble syncing so I have exported from my PC as an HTML file, copied that to my phone and imported into Firefox. At the end, when I display bookmarks it's the same as before: see attached picture.

How can I remove CoPilot from my FireFox browsing? Microsoft recently installed Windows 11 Pro on top of my Windows 10 Pro. Now when I do a Firefox search, it's full of useless suggestions by CoPilot AI and I can't find the simple answer I'm looking for. When I can figure out how, I'll uninstall CoPilot. Meantime, I just want Firefox search to work the way it used to.

Firefox is up to date, Windows 11.

I frequently watch BBC videos but approx one week ago, they stopped playing. I have your VPN which is usually off as it give me no advantage, (this appeared following the last update), but I've tried switching on and changing to UK location. No change.

Can you give me some suggestions please?

If I have 800mg to 1tb of browsing data it can sometimes take up to two minutes for the system to calculate and clear the data. Is this just for my system? Can you find a way to accomplish this faster? Thanks.

You guys are doing really good. BUt I'm going to have to say- If it ain't broke don't fix it. Why change the shape of the grouped tabs icon??? Without having even a option to change it back or to something else entirely. Was there someone specifically asking for that appearance update? Can we as users have an option to not have that unpleasing, google-reminiscent* shape set for the grouped tabs? Please?

I always have Youtube playing in the background while I'm online, whether I'm playing games or browsing in different tabs. Usually after a video is done it autoplays the next one in Picture-in-Picture mode, but for the past week or so it has stopped. If I'm browsing in a different tab or playing a game in a different window I have to switch back to Youtube to put it back. I have 'Keep playing videos in Picture-in-Picture when switching tabs' turned on. I've tried turning autoplay permissions as well as autoplay on Youtube off and on again and none of that worked. I've also tried using both the Picture-in-Picture button next to the site link and the Picture-and-Picture button on the video itself. Please help! This has been very inconvenient. It interrupts my focus and sours my mood when I'm constantly having to re-open Youtube to continue watching videos.

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but I could not find it. After a recent update Firefox (Windows 11) started each website file download (mostly pdfs) at the Downloads folder. Previously, it would start at the most recent folder to which I downloaded a file. Since nearly all of my downloads are in a few neighboring folders way down the folder tree, I now have a ton of navigating to do for every single download. This is not sustainable. I have done a lot of Googling and investigated several suggested changes to about:config. I changed browser.download.folderList from 1 to 2. I made sure that browser.download.useDownloadDir is false. No effect. Any other suggestions? I am considering abandoning Firefox altogether. It has issues with some parts of the Medicare website. And an earlier update seemingly eliminated my ability to set a particular web page (Google) for new tabs, due to which I often wait a while for the page to appear, then realize I must click on Home. I like Firefox , but too many issues are accumulating and I can't seem to find solutions. Thanks for any help.
