firefox: 108.0.1 (64-bit) windows 10: 21H2 installed browser: firefox (pin-ed private mode on task bar) and edge (set to always open in private mode)

When I open firefox by clicking the icon on the task bar, firefox is opened in private mode. When I type in a URL in the address bar and click return, the private mode icon disappears from the tab, and the firefox instance becomes a normal (non-private mode) window.

When I open firefox in regular mode, and click New private window menu button, a new firefox instance is open with no private-mode icon shown anywhere in the new window.

How can you tell if firefox is in private-mode or not? Does the new version of firefox really have private mode?

See the attached images: start firefox in private mode using the pin-ed icon on the task bar; then type in www.google.com in the address bar. After that, cannot tell if firefox is still in private mode.

By the way, I've cleaned all browser data, all, everything I can select in the settings. Still in private mode, I still get site suggestion from history. From privacy's point of view, something is wrong somewhere.

For weeks I have been trying to find a solution to getting "Error 15" on certain websites when using Firefox. Opera and Edge have no problems with those sites, only Firefox has problems. I have tried every "fix" that I can find on the Mozilla site and none of them work. Is there anything else I should try before I abandon Firefox? Could it be that Firefox is now unreliable under Win7 Pro 64-bit? If so I will have to abandon it because this computer cannot run Win10 or later.

So when I run a speed test on Firefox browser using speedtest.net my speed is between 850-910 when I run a speedtest on Microsoft Edge and Opera my speed is 1400. Why do I get such low speed results using Firefox.

Hi,

i'm running Firefox on +70 Windows 10 PCs in three labs in a university. I've applied a computer configuration GPO with AppAutoUpdate enabled, BackgroundAppUpdate enabled and DisableAppUpdate disabled to my PCs, but it looks like i don't get automatic updates. In my labs i see some workstations have Firefox 108.0.1, but most workstations still have Firefox 107.0.1...

As my users can switch between workstations and labs, this leads to the annoying 'older version' message box when a user worked on a PC which already got the update and later uses another PC which didn't get the update. The users are also forced to create a 'new' profile then, which is quite problematic because of the size of the roaming profiles.

Any hints?

I recently viewed aa.com in Firefox. Was having trouble with linked pages and switched to Safari. Not only did the linked pages work in Safari, but there was a difference in the homepage, as well. Why would this happen? Not sure whether to switch back, because of inconsistency of sites working well in Firefox.

Firefox 109 is horrible and I am trying to revert to 108. I have the "Old Firefox Data" file, but have no idea how to get ALL that info back into 108. I am so very upset and frustrated right now! So much wasted time. I cannot believe Mozilla did this to us with no warning!!!!!!!! I have seen some articles on how to get the info back, but I don't really understand them. I am relatively computer-savvy, but I definitely do not understand how all this works. Some "Firefox for Dummies" at this point would be greatly appreciated. I am on a PC using Windows 10 professional 64-bit with automatic updates so it's current.

Characters from the Hindi language are not being shown correctly in the PDF at https://rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in/.../SS-01-Hindi-C.pdf. I tried a page encoding addon, but that also doesn't seem to help.

Not sure why, but the tabs suddenly moved to the bottom of my screen. How do I get them back to the top? Also, once I get the tabs back up top, how do I get back the plus sign to add a new tab?

(I'm on Firefox 108.0 in Windows 10 21H2. I believe the problem started when 108 loaded.)

Hi Firefox,

Thanks for taking time to look at this report - here is the issue that I am running into.

Problem

I am constantly getting crashes every time I open Firefox, and so I temporarily switched to Chromium until I can get this issue fixed. Every time I open a new tab or try to search for something I am greeted with "Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! Choose Restore This Tab to reload the page" and when I do so it just reloads and gives the same prompt.

Steps Taken

I have disabled all the extensions and everything that I possibly can, uninstalled, purged, reinstalled Firefox and I'm not logged in to Firefox sync. There is also no report of any crashes. I also followed all information provided on the Firefox help page about this problem to no avail.

System Information

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64 Host: Dell G15 5515 1.6.0 Kernel: 6.0.12-76060006-generic DE: GNOME 42.3.1 WM: Mutter WM Theme: Pop Theme: Pop-dark [GTK2/3] Icons: Pop [GTK2/3] CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Gr GPU: AMD ATI 05:00.0 Cezanne GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobil Memory: 7008MiB / 15342MiB Firefox Version: 108.0

Possible Source

I installed Citrix, and then this started happening. But I also just freshly installed PopOS yesterday, so that might not be the problem.

I love the work that Mozilla has done with the Rust programming language (the best programming language) and WASM, thanks!

Thanks!

The shift+esc keyboard shortcut now opens the Process Manager....

How do I change this shortcut? Or get rid of it altogether? Every time I shift+esc the process manager opens and it's just unnecessary.

Hello! I have a problem when deleting a Bookmark. It is from https://savefrom.net/ and I tried deleting it but after reopening my firefox it reappeared on my Bookmarks again. How can I get rid of it?

Inside of the bookmarks menu, there is a folder named "Other bookmarks." I'm unable to delete this folder. If I right click on it either in that menu or in the manage bookmarks menu, the delete option is greyed out. See the attached image for more info.

How do I delete this?

Moved from a Windows 10 laptop to a new, W11 laptop I copied over all of my FF files including those from AppData.

Now, when I try to use a stored credit card to pay online, the available cards are appearing and when I select one it flashes and then disappears...manual entry does work.

Dear sir, 1. https://peb.mp.gov.in/ 2. http://updes.up.nic.in/esd/font_converter/index.html

Above Useful & Important websites are not opening in my Firefox browser from last 10-15 days. They are working fine in other browsers like chrome & edge. i tries everything like refresh Firefox, Clear Cookies, Clear History, Clear site data etc. but nothing works for me. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.

So, last night I did a Firefox refresh as my browser was very slow on startup, and (completely my fault) it didn't occur to me I would lose data on sites that don't have accounts and store everything through cookies :/ I didn't lose passwords or bookmarks or anything, but I did (this will sound silly) lose my streak in Wordle and I was wondering if there is any way to restore it? I'm not sure if the data for that site is stored in the file I have in the Old Firefox Data folder, or if it is that is can be recovered at all. I've seen how to copy files from the Old Firefox Data folder but I don't want to copy any files and screw anything up. Any help is appreciated!

I am on Manjaro Linux and installed the update to Firefox 108. The result is an unwieldy, unhelpful interface that is the opposite of the efficiency claimed by Mozilla. I can't close tabs, I can't even easily find them. The top bar gives me two controls with identical function: both show "Save to Pocket" and "Customise toolbar..."

Could you tell me how I can close tabs, please? If I can't, then I'll be adding to an endless history, probably making the browser slower and slower.

Who asked for these changes? In what way are they they helpful to me?
