There are so many reasons why people don't want AI on Firefox. If I wanted AI, I'd go and use a chromium browser. I came to Firefox to get away from AI bull, not to have it shoved down my throat here as well.

If the new AI changes roll out I'm going to be finding another browser that won't risk my privacy just for a machine that only works half the time or add to AI centers destroying the environment. Thanks!

When using Firefox and clicking on a link oftentimes instead of the link opening in Firefox it opens Microsoft Edge. I have Firefox set as my default browser. Other than uninstalling Microsoft Edge is there any other solution to this problem? My OS is Windows 11 Pro.

After the 145.0 update when I start Firefox both the menu bar and the top bar with the exit icon are missing. This is the first issue I've had since using Firefox when the new revision was in the 20's. Per some quick Support research, I press F 11 twice (NOT once) to restore the screen to include the top bar with exit icon and menu bar with my Windows task bar showing (as normal for the past 2 decades). When I close out Firefox in less than full screen mode and then start up Firefox again, it properly includes both the top bar with exit icon and the menu bar. HOWEVER, if I close Firefox in full screen and then restart, I am missing the top icon bar and menu bar... again. Press F11 twice and the bars are back to square one. HOW DO I FIX THIS SO I DON'T HAVE TO PRESS F11 TWICE ON EVERY STARTUP TO RESTORE MY SCREEN?????? WHY DID YOUR RECENT UPDATE CHANGE MY SCREEN SETTINGS?????

In Windows 10, I could open Manage Bookmarks with one mouse click on Manage Bookmarks on the Bookmarks toolbar, and the bookmarks would open at the top of my organized list, with the Bookmarks Menu already displaying. One click! Fantastic!

Now, in Windows 11 I am unable to open Manage Bookmarks on the toolbar, as it doesn't exist, and does not exist in the Customize toolbar display either. Instead I must click on the "Show Your Bookmarks" icon on the Bookmarks toolbar, then click on Manage Bookmarks, then must scroll the results to the top, then click on Bookmarks Menu. This procedure, compared to how simple things were with Firefox, using Windows 10, is a real waste of valuable time.

Is there any way to open Manage Bookmarks, with Bookmarks menu displayed, with one click of an icon on the Bookmarks toolbar, as was the case with my Windows 10?

I don't want to see more AI features on this browser. I don't care for its harmful effects on the environment and I use Firefox to escape the bullshit of Google Chrome and other web browsers. I'm probably going to switch completely if more AI features are added.

I recently upgraded Firefox to 145.0.1 but all my bookmarks are missing. I have a backup file. I tried to restore the bookmarks by opening the Library & selecting Restore (under Import & Backup), then clicking "Choose file". However, nothing happened; no further pop-up window. Please advise.

Hi! I have seen that Mozilla will be moving forwards with integrating AI to Firefox. I am very uncomfortable with this, as AI poses a risk to the privacy and security that made me choose Firefox in the first place. If this is the case and AI is truly integrated (at least without an option to turn it off or opt-out completely) I will no longer use this browser and switch to something else. I enjoy Firefox so I am hoping that this will not be necessary....but we will see.

Crash submitted, ID = 320cc808-4505-4cba-6e0f-9f2c2955d007 Still happens in troubleshoot mode. Still happens with extensions disabled (Ublock origin, Proton Pass) Started happening since Dec. 5, 2025 System is current with all Debian?Ubuntu updates installed (daily refreshes) Linux Kernel 6.8 on Lenovo Yoga i7 (ca. 2022) with Intel i5 & Intel graphics

My settings: Downloads: save files to: [custom default folder, unimportant] Always ask you where to save files: ENABLED

Applications: PDFs: Open In Firefox (because when the browser has such a nice built-in pdf viewer of course I would like to use it)

Expected behavior: Browser will open the dialog box for where to save the pdf, save the pdf, then open it in the in-browser viewer from the location it just saved to. Or possibly: save the file to TEMP and then open it in browser, I can see the argument for that behavior, though it wouldn't be my first instinct.

Actual behavior: Browser blindly saves the pdf to the specified default folder, then opens it in the in-browser viewer.

What is the actual point of the ALWAYS ask checkbox here? From what I can find extant on the forums the devs somehow don't seem to consider this a bug, so does anyone know how to wrangle the config page and/or some kind of extension into producing the actual logical behavior for these settings?

I'm 84 and know little about computers - when I try to get into e-mail it says "program running but not responding" How do I correct this? Please help. Since I can't open my e-mails you can't reach me. Phone: [edited phone# from public community support forum]

Doing a "find" ends up showing a greenish (so I'm told) background with white text. Want to guess which "find" in the attached image is difficult for me to find?

What I would like: Find (focus): yellow text on black background Find All: white text on black background

Yes, of course it would be nice if that would auto switch to black on yellow if the website default is black background.

I can hack userContent.css and get the selection function to work:

/* General highlight (for text selection, etc.) */

selection {

   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I can hack userContent.css and get the Find All (sans the focus) to work.

But firefox always provides the focus with white on green. Even if I do something like this:

/* Customize the color of highlighted search text */ input[type="search"]:focus::selection {

   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I tried several themes. No change. I tried changing Windows Preferences. No change.

There must be a way to make this "find" feature useful for me.

I opened a profile that I had just used recently to a blank tab bar. I closed it and the sessionstore-backup folder did not have a recent backup, The most recent about a week old.

Just for testing, I tried to restore with one of the upgrade.jsonlz4 file, about 2 weeks old, but it also had no session. I then restored one that was 2 months old. That one had a session

Now, Firefox no longer generates the upgrade.jsonlz4 files
