Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

Now there is no "other" category for topic of question. This concerns display, layout, and functionality.

Having a huge problem with Firefox recently. It looks and behaves like Microsoft type display, security, and function all around has been superimposed on Firefox. Every time I need to do something online my effort is first redirected to trying to fix configuration problem on Firefox.

It is bad enough to have to do battle with windows 11 to config the layout and display so that it is functional instead of going from one screen to another and another when there is an issues that needs configuring, which always then requires a search and fixing it in Microsoft registry (if possible). Now that is happening with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality which requires a search try to find a page where some kind soul has provided a fix for FF via about:config (if possible).

My brower updated to 136.xx in mid-march after I had already disabled auto update. However, have not had problems until recently, so it seems to be something the microsoft system has started doing to compromise the configured functionality of Firefox. It is no impossible to update or change passwords because "microsoft security" has taken over. Did Microsoft buy controlling interest in Firefox, or what.

Today The layout has started being a problem too. Very elementary without features, with huge words and images although I have changed nothing in Firefox. It is as dumbed down and tedious as Windows 10 when it was brand new. I use a desktop and I really don't want it to look and behave with the limits, and appearnace of a large sized mobile phone screen.

No Firefox update since mid March is showing, however something is interferring with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality. I can only guess it is the Windows 11 OS . . .

Is there a way to protect Firefox from Microsoft meddling with the Firefox configuration?

I have not yet tried to stop enhanced security in each website that is a problem (though most of them currently are, not simply individual websites). Perhaps that is the problem . . . at this problem it needs to be universally disabled if that IS the problem. All the additional security being piled on is simply hoops to jump through for users. We all know it does not stop the pros who are intent on hacking as a team sport. I really do not want to have to fool around signing to a Firefox account, and getting a code to be able to complete the signin to be able configure the brower to simply access the internet.

Starting to think FF, including support, is being managed and responded to by A.I. - which always ends up being a programmer problem that creates the limits. Intentional or not is the question.,,,,

Hoping some kind souls have found solutions, or locations to solutions they are willing to share.

The last update did something to my search bar. I still have it, but when I click on it, it moves to the upper left corner, prevents me from seeing my tabs, bookmarks etc. How can I disable this annoying change? If someone has the answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello,

Suddenly some UI elements became color-inverted or almost completely black, such as the tab icons in the tab bar, the website icons on the New Tab page and some icons in the settings menu. Also, some websites appear to have this issue, but the Samsung website is the only one I found so far with this issue.

On the same day it happened I switched to an OLED HDR-capable monitor, so I assumed it would be related to HDR, but I played around with some settings and I'm not sure anymore.

What I tried: - hardware acceleration on and off - HDR completely on and off - default light theme and dark theme, no customs themes installed - all extensions disabled (I have no extensions that would influence graphics or colors anyways) - latest update already installed - nothing else changed in the Nvidia control panel as far as I remember

None of the above helped. Any advice on this is appreciated. Attaching some pictures with the issue. Using Windows 11.

Thank you!

i need to copy and paste text that's also a link, but firefox isn't letting me highlight it, I can do it in chrome, brave, & opera, it's not a mouse problem either, if I just right click on the page and select "highlight all" FF wont highlight it, is there a setting for this or a extension I can download? (in the picture the the rad text is also a link, I need to copy the number portion)

I was browsing normally when suddenly the right click menu stoped doing anything. If I right click it still opens but nothing I click on does anything. I can't copy, paste, open a link in a new tab etc. It also appears to have new options on the menu that I don't recognise. I have no extentions or pluggins exept what comes default so I doubt it's that.

I tried in another browser and it worked fine so it's just firefox.

This is a problem I only started experiencing yesterday, but if I try to upload an image to a website (such as social media), and I double-click a shortcut for a folder, it attempts to upload the shortcut as the selected file, instead of opening the folder.

This is only a problem with firefox, as I tried doing this in another browser and I was able to open it as a folder normally. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix this?

I used to be able to drag a tab from one window to another. Has this facility been removed? The Move option lets me move the tab to Start or New window, but not an existing window as I would like.

''''Update 133.0.1 seems to have lost the ability to have the browser window resized to fit only a portion of the desktop (to work with multiple open apps on Windows 11). Thoughts?''''

I have no use for it, I constantly missclick and I've tried multiple methods to remove and hide it. I even tried to get rid of it by editing userChrome.css but that got me nowhere.

Hello, I have a problem with Firefox desktop windows, When I'm trying to copy a text or word for pasting in my document or even translating, it doesn't let me select any part of the text The site I'm trying to copy is mainly link.springer.com ( The link is : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00423-024-03366-0 ) and the thing is I know copying isn't banned in that site because I can easily copy it in google chrome The version is 133.0 (aarch64) and there isn't any update for this Is there any solution for this?

I'm experiencing an issue with the drag and drop functionality in my browser that's significantly affecting my workflow. Previous behavior:

I could drag any selected text to any area of the browser window to open a new search tab I could lightly drag links anywhere to open them in new tabs

Current behavior:

Now I must drag content specifically to the tab bar at the top to open new tabs This extra precision required is frustrating and slowing down my browsing

I haven't intentionally changed any settings, and this change happened suddenly. This functionality was extremely useful for me as I frequently need to open multiple tabs while researching. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Most importantly, does anyone know how to restore the previous drag and drop behavior? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

When i try to drag a text/word/link to between tabs (i generally have 10 tabs open) it opens a new tab at the far right. I tried to change "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" but it just opens the new tab next to the tab that i'm viewing. For example, when i'm at the sixth tab and i want to open a new tab (by dragging) between third and fourth tabs it opens that tab on the far right. This wasn't like that before how can i change it?

Several years ago I left Firefox for Google Chrome primarily due to Firefox being unable to do these 2 things:

1) present a user-friendly UI that allows me to effectively interact with Firefox Profiles (e.g., John profile & Mary profile)

2) open the Bookmarks Library in a new tab (instead of a new window)

Google Chrome does both of the above nicely. I recently tried returning to Firefox but the above two items are still incomplete. Does anyone know if Mozilla has plans to fix/address the above two items in the near future?

I don't want to go to the trouble of switching back to Firefox if there is no time horizon for these items being addressed as I rely heavily on the use of profiles and bookmarks (which are burdensome to interact with when they are in a separate window).

For the Life of me, I cannot Figure-out how to drag-and-drop websites from the Address bar, to the Desktop on the Computer. I tried dragging the Padlock didn't work. I tried dragging the Shield didn't work. Tried even dragging the whole URL. and even made bookmarks with the Link just to try it.

What am I missing? Wracking my brain trying to Figure-out the Conundrum

Hello,

So I have this habbit I love which is opening a link on a new tab, then continue browsing the content on my old tab until the new one loads, or when I am done reading through it. Recently, firefox has been switching automatically to the new tab once it loads, which interrupts my workflow/reading a lot.

Is there a way I can stop this or turn this feature off? I believe I start experiencing this after an update.

How do you mess up the context menu this badly? None of the items work and its the same on every page. I am starting to wonder if Mozilla even tests the release before pushing it out.

How can mouse hover be disabled? On some websites (e.g. gva.be) when you hover (unintentionally) over some link, then this link is opened as if you had clicked on it.

How can this be disabled? I searched in about:config for mouse hover but I couldn't find anything relevant. Or do I need an extension to disable this behaviour?
