When I click on the search box in the middle of the New Tab page and start typing, the focus automatically jumps to the Address Bar (Awesomebar). I want the typing to stay within the central search field.

In about:config, I have set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false. However, this did not fix the problem — the input is still being redirected to the top address bar.

This isn't a feature I ever needed or ever wanted. More than often, I accidentally group two or more tabs and have no idea how to ungroup them (yes, I know, there's some about:studies where I can remove stuff from grouped, BUT it's not a good mitigation). Firefox has been a great browser for decades. This new "feature" is rather disturbing than helpful. I understand some folks might need it, but please, at least provide a way to OPT OUT. Thank you!

I am getting repeated pop up "alerts" from Firefox, McAfee and others about Trojan Horse and other viruses. I did not click on the links offered. How do I stop them from coming?

Hello,

My Firefox account has been locked because the confirmation email was returned. The email address I used is [miladjaksin777@gmail.com](mailto:miladjaksin777@gmail.com), and it is still valid and accessible to me.

I did not receive the confirmation message, or it may have been filtered as spam. Please help me verify my email address and unlock my account.

If you need any additional information to confirm my identity, I will be happy to provide it.

Thank you for your support.

I signed up for a free trial of PC tuneup on Aol. After I ran Pc Tuneup I was logged out of FireFox. I signed back into FireFox, but all of my Internet shortcuts and bookmarks will not work.

when trying to access my pension account after I have entered my details, the account asks for my PIN. I cannot enter a number as password manager pops up with the 'manage password box'.

Following a recent Firefox update, 1.48.0 I think, the search box in the middle of the page no longer works, any attempt to type there ends up in the address bar. I have tried setting "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar" to false and other suggested fixes on the internet but it made no difference. I am running Windows 11 Pro, fully updated. Hope you can help Regards Keith

I went to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-backup] and under "Create a Firefox backup file" at step 3 it says, "Scroll down to Backup, and click Manage backup" but when I went there no such "Manage backup" option exists as you can see in the attached screen capture. So what gives? How can I "Create a Firefox backup file"? I am using Firefox v147.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Please instruct. Thanks RJB

Previous solution: switch browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false does not work anymore.

Please help.

Regards, Victor

How to edit shortcut keys for the extension- Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader ?

When trying to assign a new shortcut of my choice, it gets deleted automatically.

I was able to do so in Chrome and Edge browsers.

Please help me to assign the same shortcut keys in Firefox also..

My passwords have been randomly disappearing from my PC. My android has the passwords intact but it will not sync in either direction. I have followed every instruction that I can find with no success.

On a couple of occasions, a successful sync has happened randomly a couple of days later.

On this occasion no syncing so far. (two days)

I am feeling that Firefox is becoming somewhat unstable, which is a shame as I have been using the browser since Noah was a lad.

Any ideas?

I know you can block it and opt out of the AI options in Firefox, but just wanted to voice my opinion.

We did not ask for it, nor do we want or need it. The bubble's gonna pop soon and then we are stuck with these AI artifacts.

By default the AI options should be blocked/off/opt out. If we want to use it, we'll opt in ourselves.
