When a site asks for my address, I try to choose one from the drop-down menu of addresses offered, but it firstly prints my address in the address window and then, when I press enter or do anything whatever, it deletes everything in the address window. Worse than that, if I try to ignore the dropdown list offered, and try to type in my own address, it deletes it.

This behaviour continues, no matter what I try to do do trick it into either (a) filling in my address, or (b) using the offered addresses in the drop-down menu. I.e. there is nothing I can do to ever get an address to stay in the address window and give me a fully filled out form - the address window always ends up empty.

I've tried to alter the settings, telling it to ignore the automatic filling in and remembering of addresses, but I can't turn this address-killer feature off.

Yes, it's made filling in forms on line impossible, since it keeps making the address-window empty

Hi,

two days ago, video embeds on Twitter stopped working in Firefox. Please help me troubleshoot the issue, so that I can either fix it myself, or present enough evidence to file a proper bug report.

Affected version: FF 140 ESR. I had some 140.7 installed when the error first happened, but have upgraded to firefox-esr_140.10.1esr-1_amd64 since. Didn't fix the problem. *Not* a snap package, regular .deb!

Affected OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, not a fresh install but upgraded from 24.04 instead (which itself was upgraded from 22.04).

Symptoms: Videos on X (and Facebook) no longer play, the preview image is there for a split second, then an error appears. Video on for example Youtube is fine, though. Local players like VLC also do work as expected. Video on X worked under 26.04 before this happened.

The issue likely started when removing surplus packages and metapackages from the upgrade. According to synaptics, this is the complete list of packages removed: augeas-lenses bomber bovo clevis clevis-luks db-util db5.3-util dolphin-dev gir1.2-freedesktop-dev gir1.2-glib-2.0-dev girepository-tools gostsum granatier guestfish guestfs-tools guestmount icu-devtools jose kapman katomic kblackbox kblocks kbounce kbreakout kdegames kdegames-mahjongg-data-kf6 kdiamond kfourinline kgeography kgeography-data kgoldrunner kigo killbots kiriki kjumpingcube klickety klines kmahjongg knavalbattle knetwalk knights kolf kollision konquest kreversi kshisen ksirk ksnakeduel kspaceduel ksquares ktuberling ktuberling-data kubrick kubuntu-web-shortcuts ldmtool libaom-dev libarchive-tools libaugeas0 libblkid-dev libconfig11 libdbus-1-dev libdlt3 libffi-dev libfmt-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfribidi-dev libgd-perl libgio-2.0-dev libgio-2.0-dev-bin libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin libgraphite2-dev libguestfs-perl libguestfs-tools libguestfs0t64 libharfbuzz-cairo0 libharfbuzz-dev libhivex0 libicu-dev libjose0 libjson-glib-dev libjxr-tools libjxr0t64 libkdegames6private6 libkmahjongg6 libldm-1.0-0t64 libmosquitto1 libmount-dev libosinfo-1.0-0 libosinfo-l10n libpcre2-dev libpixman-1-dev libpolkit-gobject-1-dev libpsl-dev libpwquality-tools libpython3-dev libpython3.14-dev libselinux-dev libsepol-dev libspdlog-dev libsqlite3-dev libssh-dev libstd-rust-dev libstring-shellquote-perl libsys-virt-perl libsysprof-capture-4-dev libsystemd-dev libtirpc-dev libusb-0.1-4 libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-doc libusb-dev libvirt-common libvirt0 libwebsockets19t64 libwhoopsie-preferences0 libwhoopsie0 libwin-hivex-perl libx265-dev libxdo-dev libxdo3 libxft-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxrender-dev libyara10 lskat lskat-data mosquitto mosquitto-clients native-architecture osinfo-db palapeli palapeli-data picmi qml6-module-org-kde-games-core skladnik supermin whoopsie whoopsie-preferences I don't think they are related (libx265 and libaom are only the -dev packages), but this is the only system-wide change on that day that I can remember. I of course tried re-installing these, but this also doesn't fix the problem.

On my journey of fixing this myself, I also asked the all-hallucinating knowledge randomizer frontend of OpenAI, which made me check a couple generic spots on my system and in FF itself.

Sometimes I need to open XML files on my PC or in a network folder. If I open the file in the first tab in Firefox, it displays a neat and formatted rendering that makes it easier to read. However, if I open yet another tab, it displays a sequential text file that's difficult to read. How can I apply the style of the first tab to all open tabs? I've attached explanatory images (I hope). The second image shows how I'd like the XML file to always be displayed, regardless of the tab's position. Firefox 149.0.2 on windows 11

Despite trying all available solutions, importing bookmarks from Chrome does not work in this firefox latest version 150.0.1. When importing Bookmarks from Chrome, the Saved Passwords file is fully imported and shows 163 Nos. imported. But on opening Firefox, nothing is there. No folder contains imported bookmaks. Tried importing several times, but to no avail. Uninstalled, restarted PC and reinstalled firefox. But importing Bookmarks and Passwords from Chrome sucks. I am fully aware of the procedure. So no more detailing needed. Using firefox since the last 16 years. But the software makers are simply spoiling a good browser by deliberately creating issues. Tried importing from saved html file of bookmakrs, but that also is not helpful. Why Firefox is deliberately causing such errors with updated versions? Please release next version after thoroughly checkining this importing feature and ensure that it works correctly. I tried uninstalling, restarting the PC and reinstalling with with full offline installer as well as online installer. Nothing helped. Chrome works smoothly. Earlier firefox did not have any such issues. With each update, problems after prblems started creeping in with someone deliberately tweeking the software and spoiling a good browser. Please look into it seriously and provide a solution.

The Firefox browser VPN option and toolbar button for Firefox 150 was originally showing up after a recent update (was not signed into the browser), but when I signed into the account as needed to activate VPN, the VPN toolbar button and options under security settings disappeared. I can't find the vpn button to add back under the 'customize toolbar setting' as suggested. And when I go under privacy and security settings, the VPN section is no longer there. How do I get the VPN options back? I tried signing out of Firefox and then back in. I tried disconnecting 'sync' from the computer and that didn't change anything either. I've updated the browser on all devices I'm signed into to 150.0.1. The VPN toolbar button or setting option does not show up on any device I am using. The only browser I initially saw the VPN options on was the browser that I wasn't initially signed into, and it disappeared after I signed into the browser with the account.

None of the suggestions at the following help page work to get the VPN options back in the browser settings, or toolbar: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox

Title.

Keyboard focus properly defaults to the address bar for new normal windows, and new tabs both normal and private. It is ONLY in new private windows that the address bar does not auto-grab keyboard input.

The address bar is highlighted as though it SHOULD have input focus, but typing does nothing until I click in the address bar manually.

This is unfathomably annoying. I've tried fiddling with various settings in about:config, and I've tried running in troubleshoot mode to rule out extensions causing the issue. Also tried a fresh firefox profile and the issue persisted.

Is anyone monitoring this community? Has it been abandoned?

I've been having an ongoing problem. I fixed it myself, because after posting here, I had zero responses and didn't know what to do, so I messed around and tried things on my own, which seemed to fix it. But apparently, it is not fixed, and I still don't know what to do. A Firefox expert I am not.

Very simply, I use two different computers, each 2000+ miles apart. Each time, and this has worked for well over 3 years now, the entire computer is copied to a backup. The backup data is restored, the current Firefox profile, as well as the Firefox program. To repeat, this has worked for well over 3 years now.

In order to get the extensions working, that requires disabling and then reenabling each one. (Otherwise, Firefox will not access the internet.)

This time, the extensions were disabled and enabled, and everything appeared to be working fine, but nope, not a single extension works. Even choosing a different extension that is normally disabled doesn't work.

I used to use Adaware, which is on the disabled list, so I disabled the non-working Ublock Origin and enabled Adaware, and it doesn't do anything. The ads roam freely all over the page. They pop up and dance around.

Not one extension will work. New, old, enabled, disabled, whatever. Nothing.

Does it bear repeating that I am not a Firefox expert? Without an answer from someone who knows what they're doing, I may as well switch to crap, inferior Edge with the zillions of dancing, pop-up ads. And I hate Edge.

I'm begging for an expert to help here.

This problem has been covered in this forum before. However, the various solutions have not worked for me because it seems my backup previous.jsonlz4 was corrupted. I did exit Firefox normally, but I am not sure because I have been using multiple different browsers in recent months.

This is what happened this morning: my Firefox on Mac OSX was closed normally, and I rebooted the MacBook. Afterwards, I could not restore old tabs because "Recently Closed Tabs" and "Recently Closed Windows" are greyed out.

I tried copying recovery.jsonlz4 from the last folder and putting it into the main folder as sessionstore.jsonlz4, then reopening Firefox. Still have no restored tabs. Here was the surprise, which I do not know how to interpret.

I just checked some files and found this error message in sessionrestore-logs folder:

The main item that is very different is clicking on Firefox to open it, and then seeing 3 different ways to login. I'm at a loss, and I'm frustrated. Please help me so that I may sign in to Firefox BROWSER.

By the way, when I click on Themes-Add-ons for Firefox and choose what I think looks like PINK, it isn't pink! It's a very strange purple color. I want PINK. Thank you, RhonCa
