Issue: A regression in Firefox version 142.0 (64-bit) breaks the display of the CAPTCHA widget on the login page for https://my8k.me/login

Evidence: The two attached images provide a clear comparison:

   Image 1 (Firefox 142.0): The CAPTCHA area is completely missing or fails to load, showing only a broken element or empty space.

   Image 2 (Other Browsers / Older Firefox): The CAPTCHA renders correctly and is fully functional, confirming the problem is isolated to the latest Firefox update.

Conclusion: This indicates a specific compatibility bug introduced in Firefox 142.0, rather than a general website or user configuration error.

I'm testing Firefox ADMX templates and I added some bookmarks under user configuration. Sure enough, the bookmarks appear in the toolbar when a new tab is opened but the bookmark buttons themselves have no favicons even though I filled the Favicon URL field in the GPO editor. Of course, the bookmark buttons display the favicons once the website is visited but they disappear if the cache is cleared. Is there a way to display the favicons on the bookmark toolbar without having to visit the web site? Or am I misunderstanding the setting?

AI "summaries" or "explanations" have been popping up in front of actual useful text that I want to read. How do I disable this AI summarizer or turn it off? If this removes an AI chatbot, even better.

Hello.

I 'might' be missing a detail but there is no 'X,' in the top right corner, when viewing Google Reviews.

Clearing cookies, closing and reopening the browser, and rebooting the PC are not successful.

Hi all. Years ago I used to use a text only browser and as everyone knows as time goes by more and more graphical content flys onto your screen plus all the other rubbish which is just a pain.

Its also good for gobbling up your data allocation if on a mobile plan or fixed monthly data package and when you go over you have to open up that wallet and and over more hard earned cash.

So after checking out Firefox option I see the "text" toggle button only works on some websites or is not available at all on other sites.

Is Firefox or the programmers going to look at full support in the near future for text/graphical option to toggle between in the browser? I think it would be definitely worth the effort and time. This would also be ideal on very low bandwidth connections.

Can't get microphone to appear on new tab google search. Window settings are correct. Down loaded and installed New Tab Override from Firefox Add-ons. In settings page for New Tab Override, typed in https://www.google.com/webhp. Something else I need to do?

When I open Firefox, I get a small window asking for a primary password and I find no where to get rid of this. I have a Mozilla password, but that one does not work in the small window.

Hello For some reason most of the buttons in my toolbar have stopped working. When I first open Firefox they all work, then when I enter websites they stop working. The 'home' button still seems to work, but almost all others (such as the 'back' button etc) can't be selected. This is very frustrating. To note, I am not tech savvy at all.

Thank you in advance for your help.

This is on Firefox 142.0, and has happened on both Windows and Linux devices.

I recently enabled Vertical Tabs with the autohide option, and starting with this most recent version, frequently now it will break so that when I hover over tabs and it expands, but leaving when leaving the tab bar it will not hide again, leaving the tabs expanded and covering part of the window. I've seen it happen with as few as 3 tabs open, and as many as 20+. Right now it's happening on one window with 18 tabs open, but not another with well over 20, and not on a 3rd window with 1 tab.

When this affects a window it affects it EVERY time. The only fix I've found is to grab every tab out and move to a new window, which is tedious when doing research and opening a ton of tabs, or when in the middle of doing something and suddenly you lose part of your screen.

Additionally, I've noticed an annoying quirk of the autohide that happens when the tabs are contracting. If I hover over tabs (when they're not broken) and then leave the tab area, but move my mouse to an element that would be covered by the tab area within 1-2 seconds of the tabs contracting (even if they're fully hidden again), the tabs pop back out again. I have to move my mouse far to the right, wait for tabs to hide, and then wait 1-2 seconds before it's safe to try and click things on the left side of the screen.

It seems that, randomly, the toolbar on Firefox keeps freezing. I can't reload a page, or even use the search function at all. It's only through opening a new window that the problem stops.

Is anybody else experiencing this problem, and is there any possible fixes?

the metamask extension has quit working. The error message appears: MetaMask had trouble starting. This error could be intermittent, so try restarting the extension. Error details An unexpected error occurred.

This has been going on for a week now. There might be a bug in firefox?

Hi

We are looking to block the ability for a user to store or access saved credentials in the built-in password manager within firefox on mac and we used the following plist to push out a policy via JAMF

While we were able to get the password autofill/prompt disabled, we can still access the manager to view or add credentials manually.

Looking to see if there are some other parameters that can be used to accomplish this ?

<plist version="1.0">

 <dict>
   <key>DisableMasterPasswordCreation</key>
   <true/>
   <key>PrimaryPassword</key>
   <false/>
   <key>OfferToSaveLogins</key>
   <false/>
   <key>OfferToSaveLoginsDefault</key>
   <false/>
   <key>PasswordManagerEnabled</key>
   <false/>
 </dict>

</plist>

I get asked to update Mozilla every time I get on my computer.  It asks if I want to allow it to make changes to my device.
I never had to do that before. Why is that happening now? Is this Update request legit?   how do I disable it or customize  so that Mozilla asks me for an update only when there actually has one?

I have dismissed this request for the last week or so. Today, my browser would not work till I hit the Update button. What is going on? Is this from you Mozilla or have I been hacked? (I have McAffee security) I also updated my system to Windows 11 a few months ago. bold text.

Any Ideas what is going on? About July 21st, 2025 I started noticing with a couple of browser tabs open, a new tab opens autonomously and flitters in the new tab name area, what "looks like a TagID", then closes by itself. I define "looks like a TagID" as something that looks like a tag at end of article link in popular newsletters I see, and appears in the url bar of the linked article.

The occurrence of the new tab happens when I open the browser, within 1 minute and occurs randomly during the session, perhaps every 20 minutes.

My first suspect/assumption is I am always signed into Mozilla when I open Firefox 141.0 (64 bit), processing an update now, Aug 5 2025. I have subscriptions to VPN and Monitor and I have sync (passwords and bookmarks) with my mobile instance of Android Samsung Galaxy phone.

My Desktop is set up as Windows 11 pro with one employer InTune acount for Microsoft but I limit that work to Edge browser.
