Firefox Community Forum

I have been on Windows 11 for years. While trying to fix a password issue, I learned that Firefox thinks I am on Windows 10 whose support is going away. How can I tell Firefox that I am on Windows 11?

Related issue: Firefox no longer likes my password. It has 8 characters, but only letters and numbers. Things got messed up while trying to fix it, so I am not sure of my password anymore. Apparently Firefox and Mozilla have separate accounts. I don't know which system's password is broken.

It was suggested that I clear cookies and cache. I cannot find the menu to do that. Trying to fix each problem just creates more problems! I need some support to straighten things out.

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but I could not find it. After a recent update Firefox (Windows 11) started each website file download (mostly pdfs) at the Downloads folder. Previously, it would start at the most recent folder to which I downloaded a file. Since nearly all of my downloads are in a few neighboring folders way down the folder tree, I now have a ton of navigating to do for every single download. This is not sustainable. I have done a lot of Googling and investigated several suggested changes to about:config. I changed browser.download.folderList from 1 to 2. I made sure that browser.download.useDownloadDir is false. No effect. Any other suggestions? I am considering abandoning Firefox altogether. It has issues with some parts of the Medicare website. And an earlier update seemingly eliminated my ability to set a particular web page (Google) for new tabs, due to which I often wait a while for the page to appear, then realize I must click on Home. I like Firefox , but too many issues are accumulating and I can't seem to find solutions. Thanks for any help.

I assigned Ctrl + Left arrow & Ctrl + Right arrow for back and front options. Most of the times, the back shortcut (Ctrl+left arrow) works but the moment I try front (Ctrl+right arrow) it doesn't work and also, after that if i hit back (Ctrl+left arrow) it won't work.

Am i missing on something or what? Please let me know if you have any fix to this.

Thank you.

Desktop version update to 157.0.1 acted like a fresh install. Prompted me to import from previous browser. Firefox was my previous browser. I have my bookmarks backed up, but lost all my tab groups, which is a huge problem to try and recreate. Lost downloaded themes. Lost downloaded extensions. Why did this happen? I can't imagine it was by design.

you are blocking "entry.ostralia.cc" saying the ssl is expired....

BUT SSLCHECKER link text shows it's OK ! and all other browsers allow it...

you could at least allow me to access it under the 'advanced' option like in earlier days...

( the Host provider has mixed up billing for the 3 SSLs on my site , but all 3 are active and valid SSLs...)

When clicking on Mycentury link, Mycenturylink bill, I get HTTP:1.1 Service not available and in the address line, this, along with "not secure". https://eam.centurylink.com/eam/entryPoint.do What do I do to resovle this?

During a recent upgrade, the Appearance defaulted to Dark. I hate dark web pages! Yes, I went to Settings > Appearance > Themes and selected Light. When I open a new page, it is light, but the Firefox home page is still dark. I want the Firefox home page to be white background with black text. How can I make that happen?

what have you done with the? "new" firefox since the last update and change, it crashes, it won't open websites and now it said prove you're not a robot and other miscellaneous things are going on? Can I go back one update? I dislike what you have done. Firefox has always been my first choice and not Chrome, I'm going to have to find another search engine.

On my old computer I had the option to show the Firefox home button in the upper left of my screen, but I don't see a way to opt for than now. I really like that feature and use it all the time. Is it still an available option in the new version of Firefox ?

I have only one question: Who asked you to change my browser theme with the recent patch, the one that had been set for years without changing? Why can't I roll back to the previous version? Where is that damn squared theme that existed before this attempt to decide what's best for the user?

Since the latest update, 157.0 (64-bit), google maps, google sheets and Bigquery all now exibit black screens where tables, spreadsheets and the map should be displayed. I did check if it was some interaction with the darktheme as well as extensions, but it is not.

I have gone through the same problem already, but it was corrected with an update and now it is happening again.

Firefox updates seem to be getting heavier and worse over time.

Playback occasionally lags really hard for 1-2 seconds anytime I watch a video. This goes for all websites, not just youtube. It seems disconnected from buffering as it will happen even when the video is totally loaded. It doesn't lag out any other tabs, and switching to a different tab and back always fixes it (for that moment). I've already tried disabling hardware acceleration and webgl, but nothing changed. It happens about once every minute no matter what. I have a high-end pc, so that shouldn't be the problem. (or maybe it is, and firefox isn't optimized for some bit of hardware that I have) Thank you ^_^

I've tried troubleshoot mode and the problem remains, I have no idea what I did and I've spent a good hour of research and found nothing to help with my problem, I'm at the end of my witts. The problem is most visible with google docs, but it goes beyond, like these huge lines in the corner of boxes like the one I'm typing in now (see screenshots).

Is there a theme or some other way to restore the classic styling instead of having these pills everywhere? This UX doesn't even make sense...tabs used to connect to the page content they were displaying, now it's just some disconnected oval; I have trouble seeing which tab is selected now because it's all various shades of grey that are about half a bit of luminosity away from each other...looking for suggestions on the best way to restore some sanity to this UI...
