Hello, I use Firefox Containers and, for better accessibility (I struggle with finding the right container as is), I would like to be able to re-order them alphabetically at least, if not also by color, icon, or other useful factors. Is there a way to do this currently? If not, is it in the works? If not, can you help put it in the pipeline, please? Best regards, Henry

I had this issue a few months ago but it then seemed to resolve itself. Now it's back.

I use passkey on a few sites like Google, Youtube, Hubspot... every time I attempt to use passkey on such sites Firefox locks up and I can't select anything on the page, a different tab. It just completely locks up and I have to restart it.

I always deselect cookies.

I don't have this issue on Safari so it is the only way I have to deal with this issue.

I've used Google Maps in Firefox for years on a Surface PC. Over the past couple of weeks, I've found that Google Maps will select a route or routes, but they don't show up (highlighted in blue) on the page. What's happened? Is there a fix...?

Many thanks.

Best,

Stephen

Numerous sites, most recently Etsy, will not give me access. The message is always this or some variation: "We detected unusual activity from your device or network. Reasons may include: Rapid taps or clicks. JavaScript disabled or not working. Automated (bot) activity on your network (IP 71.217.57.171) Use of developer or inspection tools."

This happens even if I disable Ublock Origin. The only other extensions I have are 1Password, Zoom and Undo close tab. How do I fix this? The problem does not exist if I use a different browser. It is VERY frustrating!

Well I've been chasing this problem for about a year. Things I have done. 1) reinstalled firefox 2)reinstalled windows 3)attempt to remove the ImportEnterpriseRoots flag via Regedit. (Mozilla does not even appear in in the policies folder) I Suspect this has something to do with having logged into my firefox account on a shared work computer, and the sysadmins subsequently removing the ability to use personal firefox accounts on these computers, to the point of not even being able to logout of the account.

It just keeps coming back. I only have MS Defender for security so I don't think its security software causing it, and I do not believe a virus/rootkit would survive several formats and reinstalls.

Firefox has been running incredibly slow. I currently only have this window open, but if I open my task manger it shows 10 Firefox windows running. If I right click and end task, it will end the task, but shortly there after a new one will pop up. 1 of the is running in efficiency mode. I assume this is what is slowing down performance, but I do not know how to fix.

when attempting to move Firefox bookmarks to my new computer, I click import data within the Firefox page. The computer asks me to select the file. I have no idea where the bookmarks reside and cannot find a file. What is the procedure to get this done?

Hi, for a while now, Firefox (I have the latest version) hasn't been loading many pages and the "Address not found" message appears. Some pages do load all the time (X.com). I'm using Android 14.

I've cleared the cache and cookies, restarted the phone and the app, and removed privacy settings (Tracking Protection, etc.), but it's not working. Chrome loads without problems, and the rest of the apps load the internet without issue. Can you help me with this problem, please?

Thank you.

I do not understand. I reinstalled my Slimbook OS. After reboot, seems like the user account for linux is created after the reboot. But anyways, I signed in Firefox, got my extensions, passwords, and also my Multi-Account Containers saved containers.

I upgraded system and rebooted and Slimbook OS created a new account. So, I had to login to Firefox again and do the same. But this time, got extensions, passwords but not the Containers. What the heck ?!

What's wrong here ? I really would like my containers back.

Someone please help me.

Earlier I had a problem with Facebook. When I clicked on the Firefox icon on the task bar Facebook would open to my home page. Then, out of the blue, this afternoon, when I open Facebook, a small page would show up then Facebook would load. When I would close FB (x in upper right corner), that mysterious page of FB was there. Had to close it by clicking on the X in the upper right corner. Tried several things but could not get it to go away. So, I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. Got everything reinstalled. Now,when I click on the Firfox icon on the task bar, what comes up is the Facebook log-in page where I have to enter ID/password. Before, Facebook would open automatically. Any idea why this is happening and how do I get FB to open automatically like before? Thanks

If I use the close window shortcut (ctrl+shift+w) in Firefox it fails to close the window and treats every action I try to take as if the shift and ctrl keys were held down. For example, clicking on a tab will select it as if I were trying to move it as a group, rather than switching to it. Or, pressing only the T key will reopen closed tabs as if I had pressed ctrl+shift+T. This behavior will persist in Firefox until I close out of it completely and reopen. This does not occur when any other application is focused and ctrl+shift+w is pressed, and the effects are isolated to Firefox only when it does occur. Due to this, I do not believe that it is a hardware issue, eg. my keys just getting stuck. I haven't seen anything online that even vaguely resembles this issue. Any solution would be appreciated, even if it is disabling the ctrl+shift+w shortcut, as I keep pressing it out of habit and needing to close and reopen all of my tabs.

WHEN I SIGN INTO MY OUTLOOK ACCOUNT, FIREFOX IS BLOCKING MY CONNECTION. IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO SECURESERVER.NET. I CANNOT ACCESS MY E-MAILS IN FIREFOX CURRENTLY. PLEASE HELP! ALL THE TECH PEOPLE SAID IT IS THE BROWSER????

I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM ON THE OTHER COMPUTER. I THINK THIS PC IS O.K.

I think the home page changed with the recent Firefox 137.0 update on my Android phone. It feels like something that may have changed intentionally, but it disrupts my existing usage. I would hope there is at least a configuration option to revert it, but I cannot find one.

I used to be able to gesture "back" out of a tab into my home page where I would see the search/location bar, tab controls, and hamburger menu at the bottom of the screen. (See second attached screenshot for this normal screen I'm talking about.) I would very often either use the tabs button to choose a different existing tab or the hamburger menu to get into the full Bookmarks list.

Lately, the back gesture drops me into a screen where input to the search/location bar is already activated, so the keyboard is open and the tabs + menu controls are replaced with the QR code button. (See first attached screenshot.) My usage of Firefox on a phone is very different than on a laptop with a keyboard. On a phone, I rarely want to write search terms, so this automatic input mode is a frustrating trap.

I have to gesture "back" again to get from this screen to the original screen, but with the keyboard open, I have to do the gesture in the upper half of of the screen, which is awkward with one-handed operation. Otherwise, the gesture is likely to trigger keyboard input instead.

Ideally, I'd like to skip this activated search screen and have the tabs + menu remain the bottom of the screen with the keyboard closed. (As in second attached screenshot.)

But, I never use that QR code button either. I also see it as a misfeature to have it replace the tabs and menu buttons when input is activated. I feel like the QR scanner should be hidden under the menu or show up as a third button, making the location bar a little narrower without moving the existing buttons.

If the tabs and menu buttons remained, at least I could try to use them directly without having to do the extra back gesture. But, the open keyboard input is still awkward, since it shoves the buttons halfway up the screen and muscle memory doesn't work for the target.

Firefox (current version:137.0.2 64-bit) does not allow drag from outlook on the web and drop on windows 11 file explorer. It shows a forbidden sign when i am dropping on file explorer.

How this problem can be solved?

I recently updated my Mac OS to 15.4, and for whatever reason, ever since I did, Firefox stopped working. I can open it, but if I try to go to any web site it just has a dot bouncing back and forth like it looks like it's trying to go to the site, but then it times out. I have deleted and re-installed Firefox several times - the last one being version 137.0.2 for Mac, but it still won't open any site. I don't know what to do to get it working and Mac tech support had no ideas other than to contact Mozilla tech support, so here I am. Can you help me? This has never happened before and it makes no sense that it would not work. You can see by the enclosed screen shot that it opens, but fails to open any photos or go beyond that. The 'checking for updates' alert just keeps spinning and spinning. Rick Garside
