Windows 10 firefox ver: Version 143.0.1 (64-bit)

side note: this issue is also on my laptop w11

I am having problems with Firefox not scrolling (and no scroll bar) on some web pages. The following is an examble:

I am using Windows 10 and Firefox 143.0.3 (64-bit)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

I use both Firefox and Google Chrome. My mouse works fine with Chrome but with Firefox there are frequent long delays (60-120 sec.) when moving from one web site to another. The mouse just freezes up and I have to struggle to close Firefox. No problem with the mouse with Chrome, but I prefer Firefox and its features. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I've been using Firefox for years, and suddenly I'm having these strange issues which are forcing me to use another browser while doing schoolwork. They are as follows:

- Discord. When I have Discord open, and then I click another tab, when I go back to Discord the whole screen is black. When I refresh it it's fine, but I have to do this repeatedly each time I go to another tab.

- PDFs. I use Blackboard for my college assignments, and Firefox no longer allows me to open PDFs that teachers post- I just get a blank page when I click on one.

- Black images. Most images show fine, but with some websites (for eg. home depot) the image of the product is black.

I've cleared history, cache, cookies, disabled extensions, and still no dice. Not sure what happened/how to solve this :(

Thanks for any help! zoe

Hi Windows 10: After installing Microsoft PC Manager am losing login passwords on restart. Searches say I must solve this in Firefox but need step by step help. If I have to remove PC Manager I will. As always thanks much, Lane

Presently 142.0.1 (64-bit) installed; previous updates/downloads had no problems.

Now, however, going to https://www.firefox.com/en-US/?utm_campaign=SET_DEFAULT_BROWSER and attempt a download results in this (image).

Any solution to this?

Thank you.

I had renewed my subscription for MS365 on Tuesday the 30th when I got a popup inviting me to update Firefox to the latest release. I agreed and the download appeared to have worked. However, I soon found I could not access any of the MS365 apps. I restarted and found Firefox had also disappeared. The icons are present in the list of apps but clicking on them gets no response.

I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox and downloaded a new MS365 with no change.

I have Norton online antivirus and the MS365 comes with continuous Defender using Malwarebytes. (I am running down the remaining Norton subscription). I have also used both to do a sweep on each but no problems were found.

I have Outlook which has not been affected.

I am coming to the conclusion that I may need to do a full deletion of both. Can anyone suggest any other way to deal with this?

Hello everyone,

Like most of you, I'm aggressively attacked by advertising new tabs.

I'd like to have this: my tabs static, no movement, all fixed sizes, and no new tabs on redirects. If I need a new tab, I manually click the "+".-sign.

Fox tries to fit all tabs in, at the same time.

What I have tried so far is not working:

1. pinned tabs always get un-pinned at restart

2. pop-ups are stopped in Firefox own Settings

3. my settings in about:config: browser.uidensity = 0 browser.tabs.animate = false browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false browser.tabs.allowTabDetach = false browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 68 px dom.popup_allowed_events = False browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false accessibility.blockautorefresh = false services.sync.prefs.sync.accessibility.blockautorefresh = false toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling = False browser.link.open_newwindow = 2 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external = 3

Tabs still move, change size, and unwanted ones appear. :/

What settings should I change, add, or remove? Anyone more proficient than me, in about:config-programming?

Cheers!

my pages are not working properly seems like after this last update Im not sure my eBay the pages are all not working like they should tried another browser and it was fine so its an issue on your browser, and with KICK .COM its just buffering it wont open was fine last evening and now today its doing that, and my AOL it wont open up my mail same with Gmail its doing nothing this is very frustrating and annoying

I recently switched to Firefox and imported all of my chrome bookmarks. When I open the Bookmarks viewer (Ctrl-B) in the sidebar or the Library ("Manage Bookmarks"/Ctrl-Shift-O), the "Bookmarks Menu" folder contains all of my properly organized bookmarks in a tree of subfolders, just like I expect.

But when I open the "hamburger" menu on the upper-right corner and select Bookmarks, It only shows a list of "Recent Bookmarks" (along with some options to manage bookmarks). I tried using the "Customize Toolbar" feature to add the Bookmarks Menu to the toolbar, but when I open it, it just shows the same thing as if I had gone through the hamburger menu.

I tried looking through Settings, but I couldn't find an option to access my "Bookmarks Menu" from a dropdown menu instead of having to open the sidebar or the Library every time. Is there something I'm missing?

Bonjour. Depuis longtemps j'utilise Firefox Portable dand un bac à sable(SandBoxie-Plus). Depuis la dernière mise à jour Firefox plante, affiche incomplétement ou pas du tout la page. Je signale que sans le bac à sable Firefox fonctionne normalement. Actuellement je suis sur "WATERFOX" portable (version mai 2025) qui a l'air de fonctionner normalement.

99% of the time, site's work just fine with strict cross-domain referral policies. Sometimes they don't. I don't want to change my browser-wide setting everytime I use ONE site. Is there anyway to add a site-specific exception for referrers?

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

When using "about:support" on Firefox I'm not seeing my "profile path". Are there instructions on this method to make sure I don't loose all of my OneTab-tabs, or should I use another method? A FF comment: If you have a backup of this profile folder than you can restore your data...where do I find this folder?

You also suggest using a backup program--not sure what this means. How do I run backup software on my computer to restore my Firefox profile folder (a file path) ? I do have an external hard drive continuously backing up my files, however I don't know if this will back up browser settings/data whether it does or not- do I need to search for doing this from the manufacturer or from you.

Another suggestion from your help articles: If you don't use our "backup/sync feature, then the only way to recover the deleted data is if (a repeat of the above suggestion )you run backup software on your computer that can restore your Firefox profile folder.

I'm confused on what the backup/sync feature is referring to, unless you're talking (install FF on my Chromebook" so that it puts all my settings and data onto that device? ...sorry.

My problem is Microsoft is giving ppl until Oct 13th (2 weeks away) to upgrade to windows 11. I'm afraid I'll lose all of the FF windows and tabs that I moved into OneTab. This was hundreds of hours of work not to mention the amount of money I've paid to access these websites for research.

Any response would be greatly appreciated...I saw a comment that FF is working on a solution for this but I may not get it until it's to late.

~~Sharp63 (LOL I'm now 78)

OMG..I just saw and update available for FF. Based on what I just read, it's possible I'll lose all of the data in OneTab, What should I do...thinking! First thing is I'll look to see what the update is about, then decide.
