If my computer idles for a long period of time, Firefox doesn't recover at all. If I leave a website open, Firefox won't let me go back into it. I need to close Firefox, wait 10 seconds and open it again to open any website.

There are a lot of news sources on the home page which require registration or have a political bent that I do not want to see. How do I remove a source such as CNN or The Guardian from displaying. I do not want to see their content ever.

I have a cmdfile to open specific news websites in a private window. The syntax of the cmdfile line is

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window %*

with a "timeout /t 2 /nobreak" call for a 2 secs pause between each to give things time to get going (firefox seems to trip up if I rush it with URLs using start command .. probably understandable).

This works, but all "windows" open in a new tab in the existing or initial private window instance. I want them to each open in their own instance of a private window. It seems to be behaving like the option -new-tab rather than a genuine new private window for each URL.

What option/s do I need to use to get a true new private window with just the specified URL open in a single tab for each URL I have coded?

После обновления начали намертво подвисать странички (на данный момент заметил на youtube и в google, при попытке войти в аккаунт кнопка просто не прожимается), как выяснилось причина в том, что новое обновление не совместимо с расширением absplayer, когда его отключаю всё работает исправно. Что делать в такой ситуации, и будет ли патч в ближайшее время? Расширение мне крайне необходимо, а с их стороны никаких обновлений также нет

I am using FF Private browser for sensitive pages that I don't want tracked by my add-ons. However, a major annoyance is how stored passwords seem to be handled. E.g., when I try to login, and say I have 3 stored logins (all for the same URL), then FF private only offers one of them (chosen at random it seems), hiding the 2 others. Why in the f*ck does it do that? It just seems monumentally stupid and is a major usability hindrance. Tracking protection OK, but if this is the result then why bother. It makes the browser unusable.

I'm just trying to figure out how I can tell if my up-to-date version of Firefox is actually using its own VPN. It said it would when I installed it, but I can find anything that says, yes, it's running.

Hello.

Has the profile logic been thought through?

When I set a default profile, I would expect

A) all new pages open into the default B) That firefox always opens the default without request.

This does not happen.

firefox.exe -P is set correctly.

Any ideas? I feel after the profile choice was improved, the basic logic may of been broken.

Thanks

The problem is illustrated in the first image attached: Google Maps shows no image, just solid black. This does not occur in browsers other than Firefox.

After restarting my laptop, the same problem persists, but on first going to the Google Maps website the usual image of my neighborhood flashes, then disappears to be replaced by the black.

The second attached image shows four possible causes and fixes offered by Google AI. I tried them all, and nothing made any difference. This image also shows that the thumbnail image appears when my cursor hovers over the tab in which Maps is open.

The only thing out of the ordinary I did before this problem occurred was browsing the Firefox Extensions on advice of Google AI to turn off the intrusive "Genius" AI pop-ups, but I didn't discover anything relevant and I don't think I made any changes.

I'd welcome any suggestions for what to try next,

Firefox tabs intermittently missing mute button when opening tab with audio/video. Doesn't matter if its on autoplay allowing audio or if audio is blocked.

Example: When opening kick, twitch, YouTube or any other tab with audio.

Sometimes the mute button will be available, and sometimes its not. If you duplicate the tab without audio sometimes the new duplicated tab will have the mute button.

The first time i noticed this issue is after the most recent update (154.0).

You can right click the tab missing the mute button and mute. The mute button then appears, until you click it to un-mute the tab. It then disappears and the only way to mute again is to right click/mute or type mute in the address bar.

I believe I got an automatic update to Version 154.0 yesterday on my Windows 11 laptop. When I opened Firefox after the update I got stuck

My Bookmarks appear to still be available, but my passwords are gone. The passwords are still available on my iPhone and iPad

I have tried syncing to no avail.

I need my passwords. How can I get them back?

I got a pop-up when windows started that I was using an older version of Firefox and my bookmarks could become corrupted. It also said that when I updated that my data/bookmarks would transfer, now all my history, logins and bookmarks are gone. I can't believe I have to put this on a forum, I need actual support.
