When I click on my Firefox web browser, I can open one window and one window only. The + sign allowing me to open and keep open multiple windows at the same time is gone. For instance, when I open my email, that works fine, but if an email contains a link to a news story I want to read and I click on it, the browser takes me there, but it closes my email window and I can't get back to it, unless I close Firefox and start over.

In Firefox, pinned tabs are limited to the specific browser window in which they are created. This behavior differs from Safari, where pinned tabs persist across all open windows. When a Firefox window containing pinned tabs is closed, those tabs are permanently removed. This implementation undermines the intended purpose of pinned tabs, which is to provide persistent, easily access to sites regardless of session or window state. Pinned tabs should ideally remain consistent across all browser windows and persist until explicitly unpinned by the user. The current behavior results in a poor user experience and discourages users who expect cross-window and session persistence, functionality that aligns more closely with the concept of “pinning.” I have raised his limitation repeatedly, but it remains unaddressed. A more consistent, user-centric approach would ensure pinned tabs are retained globally until manually dismissed.

Hey, I am currently working on an application where I want to upload files to a server using mtls via a webapp. The upload goes to another url and server than the one where the webapp is served from. If I test the file uploading without mTLS, it succeeds, and with mTLS enabled it also works in chromium, but in Firefox I get the following error: "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at <url> (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null)." on the `OPTIONS` request before the `PUT` is done. The client and the server both have a certificate from a custom CA, which I imported into firefox, along with the private key. Does someone know what the issue here might be? I am suspecting that there is some problem with firefox loading the user certificate on the preflight request?

Hello, on my local disk I have Firefox for Windows (10) installed for more than 2 years now, and the location: %Appdata%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.deault-release\storage\to-be-removed has more than 7000 subfolders and files that sums up to 4GB of data, dating from mid 2023.

I naturally assume that a "to-be-removed" named folder should have it's content removed by some automated task or maintenance service, right? Is this normal, or is there some bug in application maintenance / updating process?

Thank you

Hi everyone, I’m using multiple Firefox profiles to separate my work environments (e.g., “Work”, “University”, “Personal”), all linked to the same Firefox account.

What I would like to do is:

Use the same Firefox account across multiple profiles to keep extensions, passwords, etc., synchronized.

Sync bookmarks only within the same profile, so that bookmarks from the “Work” profile do not appear in the “University” profile and vice versa.

Continue to be able to edit bookmarks from different devices (home or office) while keeping them synced only within the same profile.

I’ve looked into Firefox settings and sync options, but it seems Firefox syncs everything across all profiles connected to the same account.

My questions:

Is there a native way or any setting to have bookmarks synced separately per profile while using the same account?

If this is not possible at the moment, could this be considered as a potential feature for the future?

Thanks for any suggestions or guidance!

How can I load group of tabs I have a previously saved? I checked the article about tab groups: https://mzl.la/4iQYJr3

I'm using the vertical tab bar. I cannot find the List All Tabs toolbar icon shown in parentheses. Thanks for the help.

I've blocked access to nearby devices without knowing that this would affect my local network websites. Now the option to change this on the settings simply does not appear for me. What can I do?

   ...
   
   <Url type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" rel="self"
       template="https://example.com/opensearch.xml" />

</OpenSearchDescription>

Does Firefox still support automatically updating the opensearch XML description? MDN still mentions this feature: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XML/Guides/OpenSearch#supporting_automatic_updates_for_opensearch_description

Also, in about:config, there used to be an "browser.search.update.interval" entry that specified the update interval. I can't find it anymore.

If this isn’t the right place to ask, could you point me in the right direction?

Bonjour, je ne peux plus me connecter à ma boite mail hotmail.com depuis la version 144.0.2 (64bits) de Firefox Je suis avec Windows 11 famille 64 bits - 24H2 et 25H2 (j'ai essayé avec les 2 versions) avec un compte local. Je choisis de me connecter avec un mot de passe et après avoir validé le mot de passe, j'arrive sur une page qui me dit d'utiliser un autre appareil ou une autre méthode de connexion. Je joins les fenêtres de connexion étape par étape Avec Google Chrome (que je ne veux pas utiliser), je me connecte sans problème à ma boite mail avec les même étapes décrites ci-dessus. Pouvez-vous m'apporter une solution ? Merci, Marc T.

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

When switching tabs using the MRU menu (Ctrl+Tab), it only shows 7 of the most recent tabs. However, oftentimes I need to jump back further down in the history. This history *is* kept in the Firefox View tab. Is there any way I can extend the number of recent tabs shown in the Ctrl+Tab menu?

Or at least in the "List All Tabs"? It currently is set to show the tabs in natural order and not MRU.

Just updated to 144.0.2 (aarch64) on my MacMB Pro running Sequoia 15.7.1 with no other changes and now I can't play any YouTube videos, whether embedded in a website or YT directly. Get eithger a black screen or white, such as below. What arcane setting do I have to mess with now to get this back to normal? (OK in Safari.)

Hello,

After recent macOS updates, it appears that Firefox would get stuck when trying to access passkeys stored in macOS's passwords or keychain apps. I run into this issue with both the following two combinations of Firefox versions and macOS

144.0.2 on macOS 26.0 Tahoe

140.4.0esr (aarch64) on macOS 15.7 Sequoia

Any insight is appreciated!

OK, I am a heavy user of tab groups in Firefox (glad to get off Chrome once this was available). Unfortunately, Bookmark All Tabs only saves the open tabs in my Firefox window. It Does Not save anything inside a tab group that isn't opened - AND it doesn't save any of the tab group structure - ex. the group, what is inside it, etc.

IS there some way to properly save all the tab information (groups and tabs inside those groups) in Firefox? There is in Chrome by the way. IF there isn't, has someone out there produced an extension to do this??

Seems like a big oversight in the intro of tab groups if there is really no way to do this...

I do the Bookmark All Tabs for backup and have needed it many times in my Chrome past usage.

Thanks in advance
