Half of the time, when I press the back button on a page, the forward button disappears as though I had never gone forward on that page. As someone who a) likes to read experimental web fiction and b) likes to use browsers to look at things on the web, this irritates the hell out of me. It would be really useful to be able to click back and forth between two pages in the same tab and compare them! Unfortunately Firefox seems to occasionally arbitrarily decide I don't want this, sometimes deleting many multiple pages forward that I! Was! Looking! At!

And I want to be clear this is not "I clicked back and then clicked on another page and now the page I was looking at is overwritten", this is "I clicked back and the forward arrow greyed out as though the next page I was looking at was no more than an appirition".

Surely I am not the only person who doesn't like when it does this. It provides no utility I can percieve and is massively inconveniencing.

How do I turn this off? I can't find any information on this, all I can find when I search is information about turning off the backspace button. This happens when I click the arrow in the tab bar.

How can do get this very basic setup on my new PC??? I don't understand why this did not happen automatically when I imported my bookmarks. This has been very frustrating.

i can't locate Mozilla VPN when i follow these instructions:

If you are a macOS user:

   a. Open Finder and then click on Applications to the left.
   b. Right-click on Mozilla VPN.
   c. Choose Move to Trash. 

thanks for you assistance!

WebGl2 stopped working after a my Mac Froze up (required reboot)

I tried this ... " Enter about:config in the address bar and set webgl.enable-webgl2 to true." Did not help.

I unistalled Firefox and re-downloaded. Still same issue.

I then tried to adjust the "Use recommended performance settings" (recommendation from Firefox). still not working.

I tried using Safari, and it works fine.

Any help appreciated

Hi, I’ve been trying to adjust the appearance of Firefox to suit my eyesight. However, I’m not happy with these settings. WHERE can I revert to the default settings, just as they were after the initial installation?

Thanks Regards, H.W.

I am using Firefox on macOS with Ukrainian selected as the browser interface language. However, after every Firefox update, the automatically opened What's New page is displayed in Russian. The URL contains the Russian locale: https://www.firefox.com/ru/whatsnew/general/

Expected behavior: The What's New page should automatically use the browser's selected interface language (Ukrainian), or at least respect the user's language preferences.

Actual behavior: The What's New page consistently opens in Russian, despite Ukrainian being selected as the preferred browser language.

This happens after every browser update.

Steps to reproduce: - Set Firefox interface language to Ukrainian. - Update Firefox to a newer version. - Restart the browser. - Observe the automatically opened What's New page.

Environment: - Operating system: macOS - Browser: Firefox 160.0 - Browser interface language: Ukrainian - What's New page language: Russian https://www.firefox.com/ru/whatsnew/general/?oldversion=159.0.1&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=160&ver

"Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter list to determine what gets blocked. There’s no separate extension to install, and you can turn it on in Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker. It’s off by default, so you decide whether to use it."

There IS NO SETTINGS > BROWSING tab in settings. Where is this? and why is the doc even wrong?!!!

I'm running 158.0.1 on windows 10 pro.

I changed to windows 11. I received a notice that I still have windows 10. I just wanted to let you know about my change to windows 11. You don't have to respond to this. Doug

I took advantage of the free trial but hate the controls of the vpn. Deleted Vpn from my toolbar and cant find the cancellation of subscription. Does not appear in any subscriptions as I have none. I need it cancelled immediately.

I just upgraded to 158.0.1. When I do a "Save page as: Web page, Complete", why does Firefox now add a random five characters to the end of all of the filenames in the xx_files folder?? How do I stop this?

Tnx.

The dropdown Tab Search arrow button in the top right of Firefox was recently removed and replaced with the Tab Search Manager. I really miss my downward arrow. Could it be added back as an option for customisation?
