There's a feature that pins tabs if they're dragged to the left of the tab bar, shown in the image attached. Is there any way to disable this functionality? I can't seem to find any documentation on it whatsoever.

Specifically Youtube videos, Youtube music songs and nothing else either never load (95% of the time), load only the first 10 seconds and then buffer or load partially after ~20 minutes. No error messages. Only in Firefox.

I tried: Reinstalling Firefox Switching profiles Disabling all extensions Running in safe mode Clearing site's cache and cookies

It's been like this for a couple of months. Been circumventing it by playing videos in a different browser, but would be nice if there was a fix.

It's a repost btw, posted 2 weeks ago and got 0 views.

Hi there, I sound like a silly question but I'm really lost what is supported and not supported in regards to passkeys.

I have learned that Firefox supports logging in with passkey, but where are the passkeys stored? Does Firefox store them internally (like passwords) or do I still need a third party service?

I use Firefox on Android, Windows and Linux, so I would like to synchronize my passkeys between all devices, operating systems.

Thank you. Stefan

Dear Firefox Support Team,

Hello, I’m writing to ask for help regarding a serious issue I encountered while trying to install the international version of Firefox.

Since the Chinese edition of Firefox is shutting down soon, I backed up all my data and uninstalled the previous version tonight. I then tried to install the international version of Firefox. However, during the installation process, I ran into a major issue — the installation was extremely slow, and even after waiting for over an hour, it still did not complete.

I’m not sure what’s causing this problem, and I’d really appreciate any support or suggestions you can offer. I truly enjoy using Firefox and value the experience it provides. I sincerely hope I can continue using it without interruptions.

Could you please advise me on what I can do to fix this and successfully install the new version?

Looking forward to your kind assistance.

Best regards, Lily

Since the last Firefox update, my computer's speed has become terrible, every attempt at opening/closing tabs takes absolutely ages. Eventually today I opened Task Manager to see the Firefox is hogging memory hugely, and even got a message suggesting I close Firefox because it was causing my computer to operate slowly. I eventually managed to close it, switched to MS Edge, and everything went back to normal. Anyone have any idea what is happening here?!

I was trying to setup 2FA on my Mozilla account on Firefox pc browser (140 version). The process completes without issues with Aegis authenticator app, I download the backup codes and I even get the email confirming the recovery phone number was added. On the Mozilla accounts page 2FA turns to enabled. (I'm on Windows11 with latest Firefox browser version)

However after a simple refresh, it turns back to disabled. I repeated the process and same thing happens. Same even on Firefox Android. What could be the issue here?

Hi, I have a laptop and connected additional monitor. FF works normally until I move the floating video window to another monitor. Then it 'rescales' itself, the floating video changes ratio and can't be in full screen. When I move back to FF and want to make a normal full video (YouTube) I don't see anything because I can see using alt+tab that FF minizes itself to the most smaller window. The full screen youtube video also is just a fraction of the full screen - I can see the scroll bars but there is no way to extend it to full monitor. To reset it I have to switch off FF or alt+tab, then windows+arrow to make other program to occupy for example half the screen and chose FF to feel the rest and then extend and full screen again.

It's only happening with connected monitor that extends my monitor.

Hi, i am trying to upload a Firefox extension, it is my first one and i am trying to upload it. I however cannot get it to work as the code my authentication app does not work. I have tried several authentication apps but i am always returned with the same error message whenever i enter in my code. "Invalid two-step authentication code". Is their a fix to this, so far i tried using google authenticator and DuoMoblile. Thanks

I was excited to receive the new Tab Groups feature and am now disappointed that it's not working and I've 'lost' dozens of tabs.

Here's what I did: I created several groups by right-clicking and added tabs to each of the groups. Since it appears that only way to collapse a group is to "save and close group," I closed each group. Now they are all gone. When I right-click to create a new group or "add tab to group," the closed groups are nowhere to be found. Plus, I do not see a "list all tabs icon" on my toolbar to reopen the grouped tabs, which is what [article] says should happen.

Suggestions for making this work?

Since updating to Firefox 141.0 (Win11), I've had issues with performance and on-screen behaviour of dynamic web pages/sites. The problems do not manifest on Chrome, or on a reinstalled version of Fx 140.0.4 on the same computer running at the same time (and with copy of original profile's data files, extensions etc.), they do manifest on a new Firefox 141.0 profile with only one tab open.

The problem happens on dynamic pages (e.g. gmail.com, boardgamearena.com/lobby) but doesn't seem to happen on static pages. Note that this doesn't depend on page elements moving around the visible window (e.g. panels opening and closing).

The manifesting problems:

• Screen pointer rapidly switching between standard arrow pointer, mouse with index finger (clickable link) and serifed-style insertion bar, even when positioned on a part of the page that is not a link or a text box. Video (MP4, <1MB) showing behaviour at https://imgur.com/a/absjTh4.
• Browser intermittently fails to respond to browser actions (mouse clicks, keyboard entry)
• Small increase in browser CPU usage

Problem is worse if general CPU usage (from other applications) is already high - low CPU usage reduces but doesn't eliminate the problem. (Established by changing my BOINC settings and/or snoozing BOINC and observing; I have a gadget that monitors CPU and other resource usage.)

The fact that I can see the problem occurring on Fx 141 but have Fx 140.0.4 working fine at the same time on the same page, suggests that this is a Fx 141 issue. Regular malware scanner and an alternate found no issues.

Happy to do more diagnostic testing if it's helpful.

Hi!

My problem is that I had a synced account, and I had to redownload windows11 to my computer. Naturally, I was logged out. When I logged back in, I had forgotten my password so I made a new one, and once I got in to my account everything was missing. The only password it had was the mozilla one I had just reset and saved. I still have some files in my file explorer but none of them seem to do anything.

What should I do? Is there any way of getting my bookmarks and passwords back?

Thank you.
