Forum Bashkësie Firefox

Using touchpad and swiping fast right and left makes you go back or forward in your browser history. I want to disable it as its annoying especially when you get knocked back out of a page and loose what youre working on.

When I have multiple tabs open, around the 6th tab, the entire computer freezes. I have to press the physical button to shut down and restart. This behavior started with the last Firefox update. It doesn't happen when I use Brave browser. What changed to cause this?

I'm running Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint mint 100 - 1.0 version 141.0.3 (64 bit) on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon. These are the latest versions of Mint and of Firefox for Mint.

I am unable to locate the setting Enable Link preview. I am using Firefox 142.0 on Windows 10 Home 22H2. This setting does not appear under Settings>General>Browsing. Are there other settings that are required to enable this facility?

Hello, For some time now, links in Gmail e-mails are not working properly on Firefox (MacOS). If I click on the same link on the e-mail within the Mail app of MacOS, or using Gmail in Safari, it works fine. Even in the Mail app case, the links open in Firefox, so the problem is in Gmail within Firefox. I've had problems with links in e-mails coming from Amazon (I bought an e-gift card who's link did not work) and also in e-mails from Clarivate (Web of Science Alerts, links to the e-mailed records, image attached). Any suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hello community, I'm an embedded systems developer and we have a ressource constraint IOT device which is using TLS1.2. When we use https:// to access the internal website of the device, Firefox does a complete TLS handshake for each asset to download which renders https:// almost unusable. This happens despite session resumption using session IDs is offered by the device. When accessing the device with Chrome or Edge there's only one handshake and all the following TLS sessions are resumed with the ID of the first handshake. In Firefox security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers is set to false.

Is it intended behaviour that Firefox ignores session IDs for TLS1.2?

Used Firefox version: 142.0 (64-Bit) Windows 11

Thanks in advance.

I'm following up on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1492943 which seems to have been archived without having been solved.

The issue is still present, I would like to use gemini in the sidebar chat with a different account than the "default" google account and/or an account sandboxed within a container.

It's a firefox issue because firefox doesn't allow for the sidebar chat to be containerised to use a different google account. BTW, It works for chatgpt but not for gemini.

Since about a week ago, possibly after the recent update, the tool bar icon of Firefox stoped working - now its a blank "document" icon. When hovering over the tool bar icon, the minimized version of the window displays the correct firefox icon over it, the desktop icon is also correct, but the blank tool bar icon persists. Reinstalling the program did not help.

It is a minor bug, but it's quite annoying when working with other text documents with similiar icons, or just with a lot of programs open at the same time.

Hi, Firefox updated my browser to version 142.0 on the 24 Aug 2025. After shutting down my PC and reopening the next day, all my opened tabs in the browser were removed and have dissapeared? I have checked the history folder, but only tabs from after the update are available. Where have they all gone and how do i recover them. Very frustrated !!!

Recently upgraded to windows 7, and upgraded firefox to version 115. Why am I getting notices that Windows Vista is no longer supported. [upgraded from vista to 7]

I tried to switch to English (GB) from (US) for spell check when I type on any search bars or commenting on a post but it always Stays in (US) English. I added the (GB) version and chose it as my main language, and restarted the machine with no luck. Can you please advice on how to troubleshoot it?

Please see screenshots for reference.

Was just curious about cookies and what they are doig on my system, I know what they are and what they do but wondered how bad they are for privacy and as well as performace on my machine. I apparently have 2.6gb of cookies, that's a lot of 1s and 0s! I am now going to delete them, but wondered all this time, are all of these cookies recording my every move on the internet and selling this data back to advertisers so I can be easily targeted??? I have ad-blockers anyway, just wondered if there is a good cookie killer?? Or are there any settings in Firefox I have missed.. I did see I did not have the 'strict' controls set which I will do now. Thanks.
