I am trying to make the internet experience for myself and my family as safe as possible. Transparency is part of this, so I want to know how to disable private browsing in a way my kids won't be able to turn back on again. Also, are there 'safe search'-like settings in Firefox? I haven't been able to find anything like it yet.

I have issues discerning where each of my desktop windows are. To help with this I use gtk.css styling to add a border on all of my desktop windows. For some reason, Firefox does not draw this border.

Is there any way to apply a border around the Firefox window?

I was able to get a border around the navigation area of the browser by adding a userChrome.css file but I don't see any way to do the same thing for the whole window.

Can this be done in userChrome.css? Using gtk.css styling? Any other setting or file?

I am running Firefox 155.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux 26.04.1 LTS using the Gnome 50 desktop.

Environment

   • Firefox 153.0.1 (64-bit)
   • Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
   • Wayland session
   • Input method: IBus
   • Keyboard layouts:
       ◦ US
       ◦ Bulgarian (bg+bekl)
   • Graphics:
       ◦ AMD Radeon Graphics (renoir)
       ◦ WebRender (Software)

Summary When typing a multi-word search query in Bulgarian into the center search field on the Firefox New Tab page (about:newtab), the first word disappears immediately after pressing the Space key. The issue occurs only in the in-page search field. Typing exactly the same text in the Firefox address bar works correctly. Steps to reproduce

   1. Open a new tab (about:newtab).
   2. Click inside the center search field.
   3. Switch to the Bulgarian keyboard layout.
   4. Type the first word, for example:   български
   5. Press the Space key.

Actual result The first word disappears completely. The search field becomes empty and the caret remains after one blank space. Typing continues normally from the second word onward. Interestingly, pressing Ctrl+Z immediately restores the missing first word, indicating that Firefox performs an undoable edit operation rather than simply ignoring the input. Expected result The first word should remain in the search field after pressing Space. Additional observations

   • The problem does not occur when typing in the Firefox address bar.
   • The problem does not occur on google.com or in other web page input fields.
   • The problem is reproducible in:
       ◦ Troubleshoot Mode
       ◦ a brand new Firefox profile
   • No third-party extensions are installed (only the built-in OpenH264 codec is present).
   • Setting

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSearch = false removes the in-page search field, therefore the issue disappears because the affected widget is no longer present.

   • Disabling

browser.search.suggest.enabled does not change the behaviour.

   • If the address bar already contains text before clicking into the New Tab search field, the issue may no longer reproduce. This suggests that the bug could be related to focus handling or interaction between the New Tab search widget and the address bar.

Reproducibility Always reproducible on this system. Notes The issue appears to be specific to the Firefox New Tab search widget (about:newtab) rather than to the operating system, keyboard layout, input method, or user profile. ____________________________________________________________ The text above was created following extensive discussion and numerous tests, in collaboration with ChatGPT.

As of Aug 23rd, Firefox no longer connects to the internet (not site-specific) with this message: Unable to Connect. All other browsers work with fast loads. FF has been incredibly slow loading pages for weeks now but it would eventually connect until today. It is not a network/firewall issue as I've checked to make sure all was set correctly. I have cleared cache, turned VPN off, refreshed app, uninstalled/reinstalled and nothing has changed.

If I find the same tomorrow, I will just have to stop using altogether and choose another default browser as there is no point in a browser that is slow and unreliable. It's a shame since I've been using FF for many, many years.

I use the link provided in firefox help. It provides a window with a link to download a new version. but I click on the link, get an update window. I click on the download now and the download doesn't happen. It just sits there showing 0 bytes downloaded. How to update?

Здравствуйте! Перестал работать встроенный VPN в баузере. До этого все исправно работало. При попытке включить, просит войти в аккаунт. После входа в аккаунт открывается новая вкладка, пишет, что удалось войти, однако сам VPN не включается

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with website screen responsiveness in Mozilla Firefox. A site that is supposed to be fully responsive and mobile-friendly displays properly on my 24" desktop monitor (photos, alignment, and overall design look fine). However, when opening the exact same URL in Firefox on a 13" laptop screen or a mobile device, the visual design breaks—layouts overlap and images get distorted.

Has anyone encountered this issue in Firefox with certain display scales or viewport media queries? Is there a known fix or setting in Firefox (or layout tweak) to resolve this layout breakdown on smaller screens? Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

Hello there,

I realized that quite often when I restart Firefox (Developper Edition) and restore my previous session (latest occurence with 46 tabs), the window becomes invisible. It still exists, and I can even see it in the Window menu list pointing to my latest tab but it's nowhere on screen. I can add/navigate through/select/remove tabs using the keyboard, I can see them listed on screen when I Ctrl-Tab but the whole window remains invisible.

It'd be great if someone could help me out.

Best regards,

Emmanuel

I used to be able to use UK in the free VPN list, over the last 3 days, since I updated my firefox, I am unable to do so. Has anyone else down under had this problem, if so is there a solution to the issue.

Thanks in advance

Hello all, thank you in advance for your time. I've got a Lenovo running Linux (Zorin, an Ubuntu branch)

Crashes have been more and more frequent over the last couple weeks. Usually it closes only Firefox, sometimes it throws me back to the login screen, and rarely the computer crashes entirely. I've been trying to pin down the source of the crashes -- it hasn't only been Firefox, but most of the crashes are while FF is open.

THIS tab keeps crashing, as I type.

It seems to happen more often when I'm watching video.

Here are all the crash IDs within the last 24 hours: bp-dfb0bd40-4ce6-41bd-b9cb-ad0510260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-50a8400a-3439-4af4-b5c7-6e60f0260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-0893e979-6a06-40cc-ad0b-757210260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-8a1bbc36-9c1d-412c-a2cf-c4c040260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-4c97e699-dee7-470f-9f82-855760260913 13/09/2026, 11:15 View bp-4526b2af-908a-45be-89ae-293ef0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-60af27d7-aeef-4761-b86e-7595a0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-25b42dd1-3f54-4be4-bde7-801f60260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-e92ad4f9-b7d3-453e-8c5a-066910260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-d19f0c4c-9eb7-45d1-a7e7-978d90260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-b212719f-1daa-459c-8491-2c6cb0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-9effc3ad-0b73-43d2-839c-805a00260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-7e5b6de1-7a84-48ad-86c0-e07510260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-271c4c4f-9f81-480a-9815-5f5bf0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-956cef3e-25a1-4a8c-b7e1-668be0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-92a596e6-edc8-4920-9365-6e3e00260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-6e309137-bf0a-4ee1-8ddf-492b20260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-d3eadcae-1967-4c31-856f-284f80260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-e319008d-d7e3-4354-95db-846e10260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-ce80cf98-4aad-46ee-a2a2-40ccf0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-41734b4e-09d0-4dfe-ab7a-c74400260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-37752c09-a2ae-4f35-8ee6-62ee60260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-01aed5a5-d3da-4551-9646-eb73d0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-0d52d173-f46d-4d5c-b723-441930260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-5a9507dd-21f3-4be3-8d68-ad70f0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-0a5b5b7c-6400-41f7-ba67-c881b0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-2ff2f687-e231-4ac5-925a-fde060260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-1c9a1836-3ebe-40bd-ac76-182850260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-f4bbc332-be5c-48f7-8e6e-c008a0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-807e438c-9bb1-4056-b67b-48e870260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-b422a84c-4096-4ab8-926c-d63030260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-9740f00f-a1ac-4fce-96b3-704940260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-0a571a75-602f-4802-98df-22ee30260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-5f7a41ac-f92a-42b3-96bc-6dda70260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-d81a88f6-3da4-4e15-8669-352390260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-324a6102-496b-4724-9deb-3532f0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-40969791-0669-4158-abd6-b57230260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-7b5c8e37-6cfe-4027-9bd1-fc0d80260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-62dbac62-1feb-47a6-be53-bd8b10260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-9197029c-0719-4294-bc37-e7f320260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-941d7f54-5b2e-4783-83f2-66c330260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-00202476-8680-4295-8a76-a97db0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-027dfa8e-f3e1-44e9-a405-1ae350260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-369f58c9-4456-4578-977e-49cfe0260913 13/09/2026, 11:08 View bp-78c25147-3a9c-4ad8-9210-eb0ca0260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-f1f4b2b3-0885-4259-8dd3-bfa700260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-72d20621-92ea-417a-b063-deba40260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-721a4c72-ab3c-4ea0-8428-72b6d0260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-ffb02689-cb96-48e2-ab89-1c7f10260913 13/09/2026, 11:07 View bp-407b7ac2-8d4c-404d-974a-96d790260912 13/09/2026, 0:37 View bp-9decd8ef-b380-4bfe-8264-6841b0260911 11/09/2026, 22:40 View bp-c9a8eae8-8723-48ba-aab0-48db10260908 08/09/2026, 22:57 View bp-e0ac525c-a6c7-4af5-abe8-0ab5e0260913 13/09/2026, 11:16 View bp-91be494d-2e41-42b7-9330-e49630260913

Hello,

I have been unable to update Firefox past 132.0.2; every time I download an update and install/restart, all tabs automatically crash upon loading regardless of the website. I can load local pages like settings or about:config, but anything that actually uses the internet goes straight to crashing (including sites as simple as google.com). I have tried restarting in Troubleshooting mode to no avail. There are no crash reports when I pull up about:crashes, so unable to post IDs here.

It is not an internet access problem (I am [unfortunately] filling out this form from Edge), and with reversion to 132.0.2 everything moves along hunky-dory. I am also able to use the newest version of Firefox on all of my work devices, so it appears to be something in particular with my person PC. Problem occurred with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Any help would be much appreciated- I didn't mind an older version of Firefox that worked, but there have been some MFA logons that refuse to go load in v132 so it's becoming something I'm less able to ignore now. TIA

Hi, I recently had to restart my computer and made sure that Firefox settings were 'open previous tabs on startup' before I shut down Firefox. I had about 30 tabs open, which were important and that I could not bookmark separately in time.

After the restart, I opened Firefox to be shown a screen that said 'Your Firefox has been updated'. None of the tabs showed up, so I closed and reopened Firefox, but am just shown a blank tab.

Please help, how can I restore my previous session with all the tabs?

I really need help with it.

Thanks

Cameron

Firefox is screwing my display with a screen logging warning message. Removal instructions are 100% useless.

This is so annoying. I’m sure its simples if you’re a techhie, but for muppets its hopeless, I’m desperate for a solution as i cant use Firefox now

The issue with https://rutube.ru/ I contacted the website’s support team, and they said that by default, videos open without sound, but after enabling it, the sound should be available for all videos and after refreshing the page. However, the sound disappears after refreshing the page and switching to other videos. I’m using the latest version of the browser; I tried disabling all extensions and clearing the cookies on the site, and this issue doesn’t occur in other browsers.

I’m trying to find the backend email address configured for a website’s contact form using Inspect Element/Developer Tools. I’ve checked the page source and searched through the available HTML, but I’m unable to locate the email address or identify where the form submissions are being sent.

Could someone please guide me on where I should look or which files/settings I should check to find the form’s destination email?

I regularly login, via Firefox, to access NAB (National Australia Bank) accounts, through their Internet Banking selection. Over the last week/10 days this login has not worked - I get a (NAB bank) message saying "Something went wrong / try again later". Trying again later does not work. (pic.1)

I rang the bank and spent some time trying to sort out the issue. Suggestion to get a new browser page via [Ctl][Shift][P] helped part way. I did get SOME of the new "logged-in page" showing, but not all the account details - blank grey lines were fading in & out like it was waiting to load information. (pic.2)

The bank suggested trying another browser, so I tried using MS Edge and was Successful. The bank has recently updated the "look" of the screen (home page) that appears once logged in. Could there be an issue between Firefox and these new pages ?

I would prefer to be able to keep using Firefox and not Edge.

Thankyou
