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 uncheckd the checked box labled "check spelling as you type" to disable it and it's still showing spellcheck. It's gettingin the way of me typing and being able to spell on my own. It's extremely annoying that I can turn off a featire and the progra will just ingore that I've turened it off. Why is this an actualy problem? why doesn't this button just work? I want it OFF... Please.

I'm trying to stop Firefox from restoring tabs after I restart my OS. So far, I've done the following:

• Disabled `Startup > Open Previous Windows and Tabs`
• Disabled all extensions
• Confirmed I do not have a `user.js` file
• Set `browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash` to `false`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand` to `false`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.resuming_after_os_restart` to `false` (It was already set this way.)
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes` to `0`
• Set `privacy.clearOnShutdown.openWindows` to `true`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo` to `0`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo` to `0`

(I've since reverted the last two and the extension changes after they didn't work.)

So far, Firefox will not restore tabs on application restart (manually closing and relaunching) or on crashing (after sending SIGTERM/SIGKILL), but it still restores tabs after restarting the OS (if I allow the OS to kill it during shutdown). I've seen a couple suggestions to disable history completely, but I do occasionally refer to my browsing history, so I'd prefer a less-drastic approach. Ideally, I just want Firefox to treat the first launch after a shutdown as a normal launch and not apply any special behavior. Any help would be much appreciated!

When using the the chat especially when on either of my laptops. I think it would be useful to be able to minimize/hide the chat but not have it completely close so you can stay in the same session.

In my head I see it working by adding a simple minimize button next to the close button. When it minimizes, the icon for the chat can stay highlighted to alert that it is still active. Also, when switching from chat to other options like bookmarks, history or tabs. If there is a current chat open it should use the minimize behavior so the same chat is still active when you navigate back. So essentially the only time the chat closes or resets is when you close it.

On Firefox 128.14.0esr (build 20250811113756), Linux/X11, the setting browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled does change back to "true" every few days, or perhaps browser restarts.

How can I turn off tab previews reliably?

How do I change the email account inserted by Firefox when I click on an email link?

I have previously changed the main email address (added secondary address, swapped secondary for primary, deleted secondary) but when I click an email link in a web page to write an email to the web page business, the old deleted email account is used instead of the new one. This old address is not listed at all as far as I have seen in my Mozilla Account.

I posted this and was told it was ;posted, but then I got a not found error when I tried to view it, so I'm trying again.

I set a site to use firefox as the default app for ftp not realizing ftp support was removed from the browser. I have been trying to get the dialog back that will allow me to change it. I downloaded filezilla to use for ftp. However, I am unable to get the dialog back that will allow me to change apps.

Can someone help me get the dialog back? And, before anyone suggests it, resetting firerfox to the default settings is not an option.

Firefox is the default browser and pinned to the taskbar. When clicked, Firefox automatically opens places an additional icon in the taskbar. Once Firefox opens, in the second icon, any new links open in tabs, which is my preference.

The first image is the pinned icon in the taskbar. When hovering it only displays Firefox. The second image is the additional icon, when hovering over this icon the active page thumbnail is displayed.

Prior versions of Firefox did not have this behavior on my Windows 11 desktop PC. I've tried various settings in about:config but cannot resolve this issue. Is there some reason two icons are now required in the taskbar when running Firefox?

Hi It isn't really a question, but it get to know and learn how to use Firefox efficiently before I converted from Safari to Firefox. I knew much more in Safari than in Firefox. Once I know more about Firefox, Firefox will be a default browser in my desktop,mac. Thanks Ted

There is a 'feature' in Firefox that I think is called "click and hold context menu". Basically if you left click on something and hold the click for a second or two a menu appears that offers an AI generated list of suggestions related to the thing you were clicking on. How do I disable this? In searching I have found suggestions to open about:config and set the value for ui.click_hold_context_menus to false, which I have done a few weeks ago now and it has no affect. I also tried changing the related value of ui.click_hold_context_menus.delay to an insanely long time, but that also had no effect.

I would appreciate some guidance on how to turn this off. This is problematic enough that I may have to switch to another browser if this can't be disabled. Thanks! Attached is a random example of one of these context menu's that appears when clicking and holding on a link.

The keyboard shortcut to take screenshots [Ctrl + Shift + S] used to work a few weeks ago but it has stopped working for quite a while now. Doesn't work on any site, I can only create screenshots by right clicking and pressing the button manually.

For a while now firefox has been unable to enter fullscreen when pressing F11. Instead all it does is move the "Scroll forwards", "Open a new tab", and "List all tabs" button over slightly (The buttons on the top right, next to the minimize and close buttons).

I don't know what's going on with firefox.

Hi I see that Firefox has the option to ask an AI chatbot, with your options for AI being Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Le Chat Mistral. What I'm not seeing is an option for Lumo, Protons new chatbot. My question is is there any future support coming for Lumo, or better yet, an option to let FF users choose ANY chatbot, not just these 4?
