It says to drag and drop but that does not work. I minimized both windows and dragged the one tab to the 'larger' window and nothing happens. My email keeps opening in a new window and it never did before. It was a tab in my original window, and now it is so much harder for me to work.

Hello,

I have been unable to update Firefox past 132.0.2; every time I download an update and install/restart, all tabs automatically crash upon loading regardless of the website. I can load local pages like settings or about:config, but anything that actually uses the internet goes straight to crashing (including sites as simple as google.com). I have tried restarting in Troubleshooting mode to no avail. There are no crash reports when I pull up about:crashes, so unable to post IDs here.

It is not an internet access problem (I am [unfortunately] filling out this form from Edge), and with reversion to 132.0.2 everything moves along hunky-dory. I am also able to use the newest version of Firefox on all of my work devices, so it appears to be something in particular with my person PC. Problem occurred with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Any help would be much appreciated- I didn't mind an older version of Firefox that worked, but there have been some MFA logons that refuse to go load in v132 so it's becoming something I'm less able to ignore now. TIA

I do not wish any of my passwords to be stored anywhere it isn't absolutely necessary. My own highly secure method I've been using for many years is listing them all on a removable drive that is encrypted and only in my PC's when necessary. Therefore, I wish to disable any and all PW Managers in the software I use. Please instruct me how to permanently disable the PW Manager in all Mozilla software.

Everything is stated above with an explanation of the reason.

Thanks for your help. TJS

This started happening in the past 2 days. I would navigate through a page or a forum to an article or listing that I want to read. when I go to the link, the page goes into reader mode, refreshes rapidly, and usually crashes to a previous screen. It’s been happening on almost every website I go to. In addition, if I press the shift key, the debug window opens and closes. Things I’ve tried:

It’s only Firefox, I don’t get this behavior in chrome, brave, or duckduck I’ve disabled extensions, and tried troubleshooter mode I’ve disabled hardware acceleration I’ve cleared cache I’ve wiped Firefox from my system and did a clean install I’ve wiped Firefox and installed an older version

None of these have worked. I’d like to keep Firefox on my pc because I’ve used it since the beginning. Any help would be appreciated.

2 days ago QR-codes stopped to show when I use Firefox, I still get the codes if I use Safari or other browsers. Please help me, because I love using Firefox... Regards Uffe

Firefox new today stopped from loading some of my own websites that are http. Some http sites still work. Sends me to my hosting site https://www.forexample.org/login_up.php Cleared all history and caches. No change. Turned off http to https. No change. Again, just started today with no other changes on my part.

In the Settings, the "HTTPS-Only" feature seems broken. There is an option to 'Don't enable" this feature, but that doesn't make any difference. I can get to an "http:" site using any other browser, but not with the latest Firefox.

System: Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce Firefox web-browser: mint-001 - 1.0 _ 155.0.1 (64-bit) Hardware: Both on my Desktop and Laptop computers.

Since the recent updates, 1-2 weeks, every time I try to enter a character via Unicode insertion, CTRL+ALT+U, the character does not insert but a row break. I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/OP9UCGpZdEc

This happens in every website I use; mostly likely on every website.

Is there anything I can do now?

Thank you for your time reading this. 🙇

I get messages, questions and info from Firefox in Dutch. My language preferences in setting is English UK across the board. Browser, preferred, fall back and web site language. It works most of the time, apart from with Firefox. What can I do to make Firefox talk English to me?

I tried and tried for months and months. As IT consultants our biggest headache WAS Firefox. One thing after another after we upgraded the client's legacy machines to Win 10. One thing after another -- all day long ! Under Win 10 we have the Tab Crash Plague, the Video Freeze Plague and the cluelessness of Firefox 'support'. I deleted our support account so I am using the business Email account for this. EVERY NEW RELEASE IS A SUBSET OF NEW PROBLEMS. like Microsoft, new releases blow up in you face -- or breach your privacy with malice aforethought.

What I found most interesting is the impending failure of the Mozilla organization that never properly supported Firefox or vetted new releases. Now I see paid services (useless VPN) that are being trotted out to save the organization. It's not going to work -- it never has that I have seen anywhere. "Yeah, we suck -- but buy this other stuff from us !".

Mozilla is in the process of failing. The 2-million mark for users will prompt developers to abandon Firefox compatibility. It's moving in that direction rather nicely. I have more IT experience than anyone your organization employs -- that's why some state agencies and businesses won't let me retire and I consult year round part time. NP -- they pay anything I charge. I have seen it all -- especially failing software organizations. Mozilla will end up absorbed by Google and become one of the great Privacy Busters. Resorted to privacy busting because the core business failed -- have we ever seen that before ? I know how read to packet streams on the network packet analyzer (brand name suppressed) and I can watch privacy busting in real time. YOU PEOPLE have already sold your souls to Google. After that happens, I abandon any such organization -- as we have with Firefox.

I hope you people know Mozilla is already making noises about a buyer -- likely Google. How do I know that ? I know people you don't -- including an FTC executive who happens to be my brother.

One of the more INTENTIONAL business failures I have ever seen -- done right in the faces of those complaining and encouraging more user centricity. Over the years I saw all that ignored -- EVEN AS FIREFOX'S MARKET SHARE CRASHED TO IRRELEVANCE.

My business morals would have had me walk away from your organization years ago -- because it was obvious where things were headed. Now we see the hangers-on staying with the organization, hoping for a return to the Glory Days.

This private consultancy has completed the abandonment of Firefox, as of yesterday. Privacy was the reason we adopted Firefox years ago -- free and committed to privacy. Don't be so ignorant as to think we didn't notice Mozilla selling users out to Google. We almost abandoned your organization back then.

As for the volunteers Mozilla exploits to avoid any expenses related to user problems -- it's over. Get out. Delete your affiliation from professional synopses and CV. The 'support engineer' title you are so fond of has been devalued to ZERO. I NEVER ONCE hired anyone from a failed organization -- they gotta be Winners and Go-getters. Get out any retain any vestiges or shards of credibility that remain.

The owner is mad as a scalded cat and told me to "...let those bastards know how lousy they and everything to do with their organization is !" Mission completed 8:18:52 hrs 12 September 2026.

Well, I am in a real mess. Three days ago I lost the ability to access my favourite website. I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. The website owner has told me that it is not a problem with my account with them so it must be a Firefox issue. Before this happened I had been trying to move and delete files on my laptop and have got very confused about EVERYTHING. In that I had deleted my Firefox recovery folder(s). I have managed to move them back into my Home folder before they expire. Now I am being asked to enter my "password" to initiate the restore. But the several Firefox passwords in my laptop are not being accepted. How can I get a new password? If that is not possible do I have to delete my Firefox account? What is my best way to recover from this mess? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
