Firefox guidance says the reader view button should be in the address bar. This seems to have been replaced with an ai feature that is not a replacement for reader. No other menu seems to have a reader view option either. Please help as this feature was critical for making webpages accessible.

Yahoo Finance stock charts are not loading. Never encountered this problem before this week. A GeekSquad tech support person was not able to fix the problem and recommended I contact Firefox. Edge and Chrome load Yahoo Finance stock quote sites just fine; I'm only having trouble with Firefox. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks! Carol

PROBLEM: Pinned tabs are useful, but if I have more than one Firefox window open and I close them in the wrong order, the next time I open Firefox, my pinned tabs are gone and I have to pin them again.

SOLUTION: Pinned tabs should be able to be permanent so that they will re-open no matter which Firefox window is closed first. Is there a way to make this work?

Every couple of days I am unable to access my email accounts, facebook and most web pages.

The only way I can access them is to refresh Firefox after which all work OK.

Really like firefox but am getting fed up of having to refresh it constantly any advise you could give would be very much appreciated.

Hello

Since couple of days i cant login to Freshservice via firefox browser, on my Windows machine, my MacBook, My Windows 365 Cloud PC. As soon as i try to login i get the and error without any explanation.

I have clear cache, cookies, reinstall Firefox from scratch but still the same issue. On any other browser i could login normally.

Please help Lukas

After the latest update, when I move a tab to the start of the line, it shrinks down to something unreadable. Before, it stayed the same size, with tabs all being the same size as each other, that size being dependent on how many tabs were open ONLY. How do I turn off this "Feature" ? I liked it the old way. I don't even know exactly what to look up to try to fix it.

I also hated tab groups, with my tabs suddenly moving around on me. I hate having to do research and maintenance every time I get an update. If this keeps happening, I may just stop updating or go to Chrome or something.

As has been mentioned many times before I am sure, it would be really helpful to be able to have a less laborious way to add exceptions but as I have been through the ridiculous process of typing in site addresses manually one by one without having any sensible way to record these addresses already I guess it won't help me now. The ridiculous aspect came from having to take screen shots of the list of sites from the manage data list after deleting everything not wanted, scrolling down a windows worth at a time, copying that screen shot into multiple copies of a graphics program then shrinking each copy of the graphics program and Firefox so each can be seen so I can manually type each address across.

I know I am supposed to be nice but this is just insane. It is 2025. There is a thing called copy and paste. Apparently some people at Mozilla are not aware of this.

Having got that off my chest the next issue is that the deletion of cookies and data only occurs when Firefox is closed. Who closes Firefox? Why would you close Firefox? I currently have 24 tabs open. Why on earth would I want to close them down just so they have to be selected one at a time and reloaded? What is the thinking behind this stupidity?

The only time I close Firefox down is when Windows is restarted for updates (every application) or when IDM needs to update as I found this negates the need to restart Windows (Firefox only).

Other than those situations I am trying to work out how to fit this cookies/data deletion into the normal operation of my computer. There appears to be a lack of a suitable way to deal with this situation. Would it be considered acceptable to just wait for those times Firefox has to be closed? This would be far better than what I have been doing up to now but why wouldn't Firefox delete this data when the last tab for a site is closed? There are a huge number of sites I bring up due to searching for something and close them immediately or after reading what they have to say.

I have been using computers for about 30 years and have long lost the inclination and to be honest the ability to delve deep into them. Today I just want to have them do what I want/need without unnecessary complications.

Have I got this situation right or is there something I have missed? At the moment IDM has been having a lot of updates thanks to YouTube's greed but before that I found I generally only had to restart my computer for MS updates and when strange things started to happen.

The keyboard shortcut to take screenshots [Ctrl + Shift + S] used to work a few weeks ago but it has stopped working for quite a while now. Doesn't work on any site, I can only create screenshots by right clicking and pressing the button manually.

For some time, maybe 3 updates ago, when I open Firefox with my many tabs, I have this problem. The first 3 tabs that I close leave a blank space the width of 3 tabs on the tab bar. After that any new tab opens to the far right spot at the end of the blank area. This happens in a private window too (extensions closed). After I close a session, then reopen later, all my tabs are still in place but the first 3 that I closed reappear where they were at the start. Strange.

Switch computers from windows 10 to windows 11. I downloaded bookmarks history from windows 10 on an external drive in html.

On new windows 11 computer, I'm trying to configure book marks. Turned off chatbot. Firefox or windows 11 is populating my sidebar with internet history I no longer use? How do I stop this and how do I import my bookmarks? i tried the import , similar to export, but it is not showing up?

Appreciate any help. Brian

Until the latest Firefox update, I could select the menu options, now in the three dots, and select Share which would give me several sharing options such as text, email, printer, etc. Now there is no option to Share so I have to copy the URL, close my web browser, open another app such as email or text, enter the addressee, paste the URL, send the message, close that app and return to the web browser. 8 steps that used to be completed in 4 steps within the open page in my web browser. Why was Share removed?

Hi After browsing a particular web site the Firefox browser froze with a single search control on the page and all items frozen. Tried to fix it through settings but no response. See attached screenshot. Refreshed Firefox from Control panel->Programs and Features->Uninstall->Refresh Firefox. This reset Firefox and fixed the problem however the Firefox browser lost several settings and add-ons which I had to manually fix. Glad it is mostly all working again!

I'm simply trying to email someone using the email link on their site.

The link is a mailto link which requires an email application (which I don't have). All I want is to copy the link to the clipboard.

Firefox lets me right click the link and copy the email address, but this doesn't allow me to provide the required Subject specified by the site's author.

I could have sworn Firefox used to have this feature. Netscape and IE certainly always had it back in the day.

A new "task bar" has appeared at the bottom of my Firefox pages. How do I permanently delete it?

I have attached an image of it to this message.

Thank you very much for your help.

On Firefox, the line graphs slowly stretch downward at

as if the image height is being incremented. (Chrome & Edge display stably.)

Hello, I have ran into issues with the file upload window in firefox locking the program. I am not quite sure if I have tried uploading anything since the last update a few days ago, but it happens regardless of the website I use. It basically just freezes up as soon as it opens the file explorer window. I tried on chrome with no issues so it doesn't seem to be a windows thing as far as I can tell. I restarted my pc to see if that would help, but with no luck. I opened up task manager when this was happening to check what was going on and firefox seemed to be stuck using almost all the ram on my system 15.7 out of 16gb.

Anyone have this issue occurring in the last few days? Any thoughts on how to fix?

Thanks for any help

Hi, it looks like Firefox pushed an update on September 19, and after that, all my tabs were closed, I got logged out of all my accounts, and it opened a new blank Firefox window. Is there any way to recover my tabs and data?
