With the "Drag & DropZones" mode of the "Selected Text Searchers" extension, one can highlight some text on the page and then "drag" it, whereupon a screen of defined search engines appear as an overlay on the page, allowing for "dropping" of the text on top of any of the search engines, initiating using that search engine to search for the highlighted text. This stops working after 148.0: the search engines overlay does not come up, replaced with only the non-working icon on the mouse cursor.

For the last couple of days, FF has been signing me out of all social media sites and some other sites that are open in tabs also. I'll go back to the tab, and be signed out when I was signed in 5 minutes ago. Google, FB, Reddit all have this problem and some streaming sites. I had changed my settings to clear all data when it was closed, so I thought that might be it, but I changed it back and restarted FF and the computer and it's still doing it. Haven't tried another browser yet.

The last update (which was VERY rocky... I had to reinstall and functionality has NOT been great since) eliminated the Bookmarks icon from the top ribbon. I've looked through settings, but find no way to restore it. Can it be restored? I now have to click the menu, Settings, and THEN Bookmarks.

Why can't I change my password and/or the way I sign in? This has caused me a lot of trouble and if it isn't changed I will discontinue using Firefox do to privacy issues.

When I wake up Firefox from sleep overnight, it is unresponsive until I force quit. I am on v147.0.4 on my M4 Mac Mini. It doesn't happen in shorter sleep periods. I can click something in it and then when I switch to another app, it responds. But the browser on normal interactions won't respond at all.

I have Firefox installed and pinned to the taskbar. When I click it, it immediately goes to a download Firefox page instead of opening. I then open another tab to get into g mail or anything else. I can then close the download tab and continue. This is most annoying. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling which works but then lost all bookmarks and the answer there was to go to old Firefox and restore, which I did and that worked , however, the download page came with as well and this time in a different more colorful version that is quite long.

my problem is that whenever I try to use form fill it will input everything and when it gets to the phone number it will add +1 to the entry so my phone number will be an incorrect or invalid number meaning that I will need to manually enter the information anyways which is kind of frustrating because what is the point

I'm struggling to disable this behavior of firefox. When I type "something: text", it's opening a pop-up asking "Open link with System Handler?".

I would rather just search the internet for "something: text".

How can I do that?

I've tried to play with parameters like network.protocol-handler.expose.something network.protocol-handler.app.something network.protocol-handler.external.something network.protocol-handler.warn-external.something

but didn't manage to do it

When i try to connect to some websites, firefàx prompts "error 502 bad gateway" the same websites work on EDge !

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server atxxxxxxxxx

Error code: 502 Bad Gateway

. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. . If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. . If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Try Again

when I start the browser, alongside homepage, it opens a new unknown page (which I've never searched and opened myself before) with extremely obscene content. for example https://playafterdark.com/click? thanks god, my children haven't seen it yet how is it possible?

Hello, I'm using Firefox 147.0.4 on Windows 11. When I open the Adobe Firefly website and I try to upload a file to the Adobe server using drag and drop or by browsing the Windows file system, nothing happens ... There's no error message, but the file isn't uploaded. Of course, this site works perfectly with Opera or Edge... On the Adobe forums, many users have the same problem with Firefox, and Adobe's response is always the same: change browsers ! Thank you for keeping me informed about the resolution of this problem, as I don't want to change browsers ! My email address is [edited email from community support forum]

Have a great day, Sincerely,

Mr. Fernandez

Suddenly I have a South African Facebook occupying my fire fox log in. It won't let me go into my account. When I use Safari on the same Macbook I can get access, so somehow it was become fixed to my fire fox browser. How can I get rid of this South African Facebook block or should I just remove firefox as my long time browser. I've done all the cookie deletes and regular stuff. I'd appreciate some professional help. Regards, Jim

Since the last update or two, cookies are filling up crazy fast - especially from Facebook - and I'm barely on it even these days. AND, I am not surfing other sites either, just working (claude/chatgpt only mostly).

Yet - this is JUST from today. How on earth is this possible??

I can't block cookies because things won't work the same - but this is ridiculous to have to empty everything constantly/daily.

What changed? Can you guys please fix this?
