A month ago I downloaded Linux Ubuntu 24.04.3 onto my Microsoft Surface Pro. Was never able to get the touch screen to work, but, the printer worked fine. After the recent Firefox update, however, I am unable to print. The preview page does not load. Not tech savvy, here, definitely not an administrator. How do I fix this? Thanks for any help.

Hi all, I remember in older versions of Firefox (within the past 6 months) that pdfs embedded in a page would be a hyperlink that you had to click which would open in another tab. Now pdfs automatically open which is very annoying as it makes it difficult to read, while I found a way to open it in another tab I was wondering if there is a setting I can disable so I can just click on a hyperlink.

Thanks in advance

What version of Firefox actually allows you to add extensions? I'm running the most current version of Tumbleweed that ships with 144.0. Attempts to add extensions just sit there doing nothing until I close the tab. This sort of worked some time ago (I forget the version) but the inability of Firefox to allow add-ons/extensions is getting to be a joke. There are other browsers out there, ya know.

Previous version, if I added a new bookmark, I would be presented with options on Where(Folder) and Tags. This is no longer offered, and bookmarks are just added to unknown within bookmarks Q. What has changed, and how do I get this option back?

FF bug (?) (my own tests), Chrome works as expected, was also gemini ai discussed.:

 Why for the following css rule (new FF):
 header:has(~ noscript) ~ * div[class*="-slider"] {width: calc(var(--number-of-slides) * 100%);}
 the --number-of-slides is defined and visible:
 header:has(~ noscript) ~ * div[class*="-slider"] {--number-of-slides: 1}
 but this one isn't at all:
 header:has(~ noscript:has([value="1"])) ~ * div[class*="-slider"] {--number-of-slides: 1}
 And all remembering that in the noscript there is direct descendant having value="1"

As mentioned it works as expected (so average person naturally may think it sould) well for Chrome - noscript is visible, js disabled, controls are visible. Sophisticated use case of :has() but it sort of "has right" to happen.

Google Search is pinned at the top of my Firefox Suggest list. (see the attached image)

Google Search is NOT my default search engine.

Where is this controlled/specified?

With Firefox 144, there is unasked for/unwanted AI introduced. How do I ensure that all AI is completely disabled in my browser? I found a link describing some settings, but want to confirm this will disable ALL AI in the browser. I don't want it, don't trust the privacy/security holes yet to be found and would prefer it was not included in Firefox to begin with. The list I've found is:

• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.enable", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.optin", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.modelHubRootUrl", "");

Will this do it? What about:

browser.ml.chat.nimbus

Do I need to clear that field to ensure I don't get some auto opt-in in the future as more and more of this "stuff" is put into the browser?

Why not leave Firefox as a security/privacy conscious browser and put out a separate AI browser (FirefoxML?) for those that are not as concerned. How does Mozilla ensure that no information is leaked through AI from sessions for professionals that must protect physician/patient, attorney/client information or other legally confidential information?

Hello, After performing a clean install of the OS, I logged in to my firefox account. But it is not syncing the passwords. I tried installing firefox to my phone, also not syninc. I think btw, it is syncing but my passwords are not there. Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/DH0wuERM Any help appreciated, because there were more than 200 passwords there. Thank you

I just installed Fedora KDE Plasma, and have been trying to launch Firefox, but it keeps completely freezing.

I have tried installing through snap, flatpak and fedoras database, most recently I installed from the tar.xz on the website, and tried launching in safe mode. All of these result in the same behavior.

I'm having an issue wherein clicking the on-screen back button in the toolbar does not immediately navigate to previous webpage that was viewed. From my recollection and in all my years of computing, I have always understood that the original purpose of a browser's back button was to return to the page, not to reverse any scroll actions. However, someone has changed this.

The problem is that the back button isn't navigating to the previous page, but rather undoes any scroll actions that were performed on the current page being viewed. Once all scrolling is undone, it's back at the the top of page again (default scroll position). Only by clicking the back button one more time will it actually go to the previous page. However, this is not the desired behavior. The desired behavior is that clicking the back button just once should be all that is required to get to the previous page, skipping any scroll actions that were performed on the current page.

I see other articles talking about what happens when you use the scroll wheel and/or mouse buttons. That is not what I am talking about here. I'm only talking about what happens when you click the graphical back button (which looks like a left arrow) on the toolbar. It's the built-in back button in Firefox.

Does anyone know how to restore the button's original functionality?

One of my jobs requires me to download work related documents on my personal pc. I would like to assign the website of the platform we use to download those files in a specific folder so i could delete them easily afterwards. Are there any plans to add such a feature to the browser? Is there a way to do it already? (without having to use the "always ask" option) Thanks in advance. Cheers from Uruguay
