Hello everyone,

Like most of you, I'm aggressively attacked by advertising new tabs.

I'd like to have this: my tabs static, no movement, all fixed sizes, and no new tabs on redirects. If I need a new tab, I manually click the "+".-sign.

Fox tries to fit all tabs in, at the same time.

What I have tried so far is not working:

1. pinned tabs always get un-pinned at restart

2. pop-ups are stopped in Firefox own Settings

3. my settings in about:config: browser.uidensity = 0 browser.tabs.animate = false browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false browser.tabs.allowTabDetach = false browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 68 px dom.popup_allowed_events = False browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false accessibility.blockautorefresh = false services.sync.prefs.sync.accessibility.blockautorefresh = false toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling = False browser.link.open_newwindow = 2 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external = 3

Tabs still move, change size, and unwanted ones appear. :/

What settings should I change, add, or remove? Anyone more proficient than me, in about:config-programming?

Cheers!

Firefox crashed. I am trying to get it to how I had it before this. One of the problems is the new tabs thing. I know about CTRL-T, I have not used it. I have used the + on the tabs for years. I know, big deal, it's just inconvenient, interrupts my train of thought to switch, which is no big deal. But if anyone has a moment and can answer, it would be a blessing for me. Thank you.

On a new tab in Firefox Focus for iOS 26, the floating keypad first appears, and once Dragged to bottom to make the full keypad, it glitches, erases what I wrote, and brings up floating keypad again. I know this is a beta and has bugs, this is just FYSA for iOS 26

Hi, I'm using Firefox 142 on Ubuntu 24.04. It's a fresh install. I cannot sign in icloud.com with Firefox even though it works with other browsers like Brave. I deleted all cookies and site data and disabled extensions (KeePassXC). It doesn't help. I tried in new private window. No success. I copy my password from a password manager, so, no, I haven't mistyped it.

Here's what I do:

1. Open Firefox and go to icloud.com
2. Click on the "Sign In" button
3. Enter my Apple-ID and click on the arrow on the right end of the "Email or Phone Number" field

At this point Brave behaves differently than Firefox. See below for how Brave behaves.

Firefox: -> A "Password" field appears (no buttons "Continue with Password" and "Sign in with Passkey")

1. Enter my password and click on the arrow on the right end of the "Password" field

-> Error message "Failed to verify your identity. Try again" appears. See icloud.png

Brave: -> Two buttons "Continue with Password" and "Sign in with Passkey" appear. See icloud-with-brave.png

1. Click on button "Continue with Password"

-> A "Password" field appears.

1. Enter my password and click on the arrow on the right end of the "Password" field

-> 2FA code is sent to my iPhone -> "Two-Factor Authentication" form opens... etc. complete sign in successfully

Please help!

Unfortunately I cannot attach the HAR file from the login sequence because the password is included. However, I attached some screenshots from the Web Developer Tools. It seems to me that the login flow with Firefox is broken. I can't tell who's to blame, Apple of Firefox. The error message with Firefox is always the same, no matter whether I enter the correct password or rubbish. In Brave, however, there is a more precise error message when I enter a bad password. See icloud-with-brave-wrong-password.png

Galaxy A14 5G, Firefox 142.0.1

The products that are displayed in the thumbnail images in the Google shopping search results are tiny (microscopic). Opera and DuckGo display normal sized images.

Does anyone know if there's a setting in Firefox that can be used to make the thumbnails display properly?

При попытке авторизоваться на сайте reddit.com сайт выдает ошибку "неверный логин или пароль", но при попытке входа на reddit.com в приватном окне ошибки не возникает и авторизация проходит без проблем, то есть логин и пароль 100% верны.

Было проверено на версии 143 и 142. Так же пробовал заходить из только что установленной версии Firefox без изменения настроек и установки дополнений - никакого положительного результата и все та же ошибка авторизации.

Один раз удалось авторизоваться на сайте в обычном окне браузера, но я предварительно что-то изменил в настройках и к сожалению не запомнил что изменил. И я не помню что сделал после (менял ли настройки, переустанавливал ли браузер), но авторизоваться после того случая больше не удавалось, может настройки ни на что не повлияли. Не понятно с чьей стороны эта проблема: браузера или сайта. В других браузерах (Chrome и Edge) такой проблемы не возникает.

when I try to open a particular website, firefox keeps blocking it and says its an error. I cannot open this website. how do i get passed this.

Hi ..

I have installed 'Stop Auto Reload' extension on my browser, (..aimed at stopping Meta/Facebook from automatically reloading my page whenever they feel like it, or because I opened a link from a post.)

As directed, I have listed that site in the two relevant boxes, in the 'Options' tab to show that anything with 'facebook' in the URL should NOT auto-refresh..

But down the 'Options' page a bit further, is another box that says:

'..Don't stop a tab from auto reloading if it has a URL that starts with one of the following URLs:'

.. & it lists: 'https://www.facebook.com/checkpoint/?next'

Now.. I did NOT insert that... And the app will NOT let me remove it.! I can press shift to get another line or go back, but I cannot highlight & delete or backspace-remove that entry. Its like the extension has been tampered with..??

So Meta is still interfering with my browser when I'm on there, & stalls & reloads whenever it wants to..!!

Any advice gratefully received.. Thank you..

I have no other devices to "sync" to. This may or may not be why my "passwords" in Firefox have been locked down as I can not now log into my hotmail.com account. Passwords are visible in Firefox except for the passkey which I can't seem to delete. I need to either see it or delete it. Also, it won't do any good to send a response to the e-mail linked to Mozilla. I had to create a new temporary account to try to get MS to restore my hotmail.com account. The storing of Passwords by Firefox is not helpful to me & I do not want it & need to turn it off. Thanks for help in this multilayered mess of software I'm using.

Is there a way to completely opt out of having AI in my browser?

I find recent implementations of AI in Firefox quite frankly disgusting. I don't want to see it, I don't want to use it, I don't want it suggested to me. Not only it's unneeded, but also all your LLMs are a waste of electricity, fresh water and are a threat to my privacy, and we don't even mention all the legal trouble AI scraping creates.

I need a switch to completely remove any mention of LLMs/AIs in my Firefox browser unless I search for it on the internet (and, trust me, I wont; I'd prefer to continue thinking for myself and having real people with skills and talents do things if I can't do them myself) and have none of them touch me in any way. Kill that thing with fire.

Ideally Firefox, one that advertises itself as a secure browser with respect towards its users, shouldn't have any mention of AI in the first place, you know. But since companies are in a craze about it for some unknown reason (trust me, we don't want it; if I want to be lied to, I'd go to a paediatrician to talk about my symptoms, not a language model I can't trust with my data), at least give your users an option to get that awful thing out of their browser it they want to.

Have a nice day. <3

I had 16 windows open with around 1400 tabs. I discovered OneTab and it seemed like the answer to my prayers as even 16GB RAM struggling with so many open windows. I managed to close 7 windows and around 700 tabs by using the OneTab list. My whole computer shutdown overnight for a Windows update, and when I re-opened all my Mozilla Firefox tabs popped up as usual. (I have a few crashes here and there and never had a problem restoring tabs with normal Firefox windows.) My single OneTab had the option for 'sessionrestore' but when I clicked it, NOTHING, zero tabs and I am gutted.

1. is there a backup file of what was transferred into OneTab? 2. I have not synced, can I restore my whole Mozilla account to where I was 3 days ago with 16 windows open? 3. There is nothing in recently closed tabs/windows - is the only way to go back through my whole browsing history for the last 6 months and restore that way? 4. I cannot do a full computer system restore as been deleting files and other work - I must find a solution through Mozilla. How can I get back in time?

Anyone able to help or advise? Much appreciated!

I can no longer use Firefox to access my banks website. I am told they have broken ties with Firefox. In the past, at times that website would exhibit odd behavior, sometimes attributed to the use of Firefox.

Firefox seems to have issues with various sites, particularly for me in the way of display irregularities.

I'm curious as to why.

1. For a start you might do what you implicitly claim - restore open windows on all screen "spaces".

2. But recognising that you have never done this (& I have used Firefox on Macs for a long time) perhaps you could be honest and warn us both before and after a reboot.

(If there is a power outage or apple reboot, an apple "app" tends to be reopened, not usually on my preferred space. Other apps & processes are mostly not reloaded or restarted (another irritation), Firefox is somewhere in between.

3. I do of course take various measures to avoid time in reinstating "where was I", (so I bookmark all regular tabs on each space that I use for a particular type of activity, eg space 4 is booking regular sport-like venues, with a weather check tab too), but perhaps the whizz kids at mozilla, could think about how to help slow old guys like me recover from unexpected distractions & outages, etc.

Madam or Sir,

I do not know what happens but since a few days I cannot access any more https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ which is crucial for my work.

Since I am blind, could you please help me.

I thank you in advance

Best regards

Feature Request: Tab Groups in Firefox for iOS

Please add native Tab Groups to Firefox on iOS. Organizing tabs by project, context, or mood would streamline mobile browsing. Ideally, they’d support custom names and sync across devices for a cohesive experience.

Firefox crashes whenever it would need access to my camera or microphone. So far it has only happened whn trying to access a Roll20 game with camera and microphone connectivity, and when trying to access a video appointment for Universal Credit. It never happened on Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 it happens every time without fail, and the crash is immediate.
