This morning I installed Firefox version 150 on Windows 11. Since then, the address bar does not auto-complete for websites I have previously visited. It also doesn't show any history in the search bar, only the history for my phone (see screenshot). I have also included a screenshot of the address bar settings.

My copy of Firefox updated about 1600 local time yesterday. At this same time Facebook could not be accessed, just get a blank page. Tried clearing history, but still not working. Windows 11.

Steps to reproduce:

   Generate an image using Gemini Web.

   Right-click the generated image and select "Save image as...".

Actual results:

   The saved image file (which is around 8MB uncompressed) is frequently corrupted.

   There are noticeable pixel misalignments, visual glitches, and tearing across the image.

   Re-saving the exact same image causes the glitches to appear in different random locations, indicating an unstable data transfer from memory to disk.

   Sometimes, the saved filename gets appended with random gibberish characters (e.g., Gemini_Generated_Image_fuy00sfuy00sfuy0.jpg).

Expected results: The image should be saved completely without any data corruption or pixel misalignment.

Additional Context: > When performing the exact same action in Google Chrome, the browser negotiates a compressed format (around 2MB) and the image saves perfectly with 100% data integrity and no visual glitches. The issue seems isolated to how Firefox handles large image blob data saving.

Hello everyone,

Since Firefox version 150, when you want to share your location with a website, the location settings of the Windows Settings app open - provided that you have not allowed apps, or more specifically desktop apps or if the location service is completely disabled.

If you continue to deny desktop apps access by simply closing the Settings app and clicking "Cancel" on the "Awaiting Location Permission" prompt, "Google Location Services" will be used instead.

How do I know it’s Google? It says so here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/does-firefox-share-my-location-websites

The opening of the Windows Settings app can be suppressed by "geo.prompt.open_system_prefs" = false, and the use of the Windows location service can be disabled with "geo.provider.ms-windows-location" = false.

Is Firefox trying to move away from Google Location Services, or why was this changed without a simple option to choose? In my opinion, it would be useful if it were possible to choose the default location service directly in the Firefox settings. Not least because, in my tests, I found that "Google Location Services" are often more accurate and also because manually setting a location in Windows 10 is no longer easily possible since the Maps app was discontinued.

Thanks and regards, Martin

Some sites have scrambled text. I've attached two images of what I see when I visit this link: https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/The_Calamity

When I inspect the HTML, the text shows up as it should (unscrambled English). I checked my default language settings and they are set to en-US. I tried disabling extensions one by one but nothing seemed to have an effect. However, a private browsing window didn't have that issue.

When I scan a multiple barcodes, Firefox does not add the "enter" function between them, and as a result the barcodes just stack one after another. This started happening yesterday. The attached image is showing two barcodes is succession. It used to automatically add the enter function after the barcode was scanned. I have tried multiple scanners and the same thing happens. It works fine in Chrome, but I really don't want to use Chrome.

I am unable to use passkey with the 150.0 (64-bit) update of firefox. I get a message "The operation is insecure." when trying to create a new passkey and when attempting to use a passkey that has worked for months I now get "Passkey authentication error: The operation is insecure." Unfortunately the same day Microsoft patches were also applied, KB5086096 KB5086097 KB5091596 KB5082417 and KB5083769, 26200.8246 which could also the the problems, but firefox is reporting the error, so I am contacting you. This in on a Windows 11, version 24H2 system.

as soon as i startup firefox it has a quick flash of white before the background image comes up. it happens on new profiles/troubleshooting mode.

i have tried disabling hardware acceleration and it doesnt seem to help.

I'm using FF 150.0 on a Windows 11 PC. I've signed into my Mozilla account but cannot find any mention of the Firefox VPN anywhere on the toolbar or menus except for the splash page that says "Try FF VPN". I'm in Colorado, US. Anyone have a clue?

How do I configure Firefox so that it uses the integrated VPN for certain websites but not for everything?

I can only see a way to configure a list of websites it will not use the VPN which is the exact opposite.

I'm not concerned about, for example, Amazon because there isn't any privacy there anyway. But I do not want my use of some other websites monitored.

I can not sign into a banking site - last several months. It gives me this feed back : "Explanation The Application Gateway attempted to fetch the resource you requested from a junction Web server. However, the Application Gateway received an authentication challenge from the junction server while handling your request. There is currently no sign-on information configured for this junction server. Solutions Configure the junction with the appropriate sign-on information. Disable authentication at the junction Web server. " How do I do this? I try to keep FireFox up to date . On Mac Tahoe 26.3.1

Is it gMail or Mozilla that is slowing down the time for gMail to open a new Message? My internet connection is consistently between 200-300 mbps. Also, how to I change the email address on my account? Or should I just start a new account? Thank you.

When I restart Firefox, or my PC wakes from sleep, my Firefox windows are all in a different order.

Also a number of Firefox windows often just die or don't appear on restarting Firefox.

Is there a way to make sure that the Firefox windows appear in the same order and number as before?

At the moment I have to close Firefox windows and start them manually loading tabs from bookmarks. I would have thought that there must be a better way but I can't find it.

It seems as if Firefox should number the windows and keep a list of tabs open in each window, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

What am I missing? Is there a setting I need to change?

I'm running Windows 11 Pro
