I cant even see Chewy's page. Just stays white. They told me they no longer allow Firefox to access their website. They told me to use Chrome or Edge. Obv they want more personal data.

I have Proton VPN (i tried different servers and even disconnected). I run several blocking extensions incl User Agent Switcher. I tried a Chrome or IE string. Still cant even see the website.

I really dont want to give them more data. I've had no problems for years. Anyone else? Thanks.

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

• (Nope - computer not eligible to upgrade to Win 11. My processor isn't fast enough, I think.)

I don’t remember from when, but after some point of an update of Firefox for iOS, whenever I type something in Korean into address bar for quick search, it automatically changes my inputs to English and extra character appends at the front. This will cause great inconvenience for Korean users. I hope Mozilla team fix this problem soon.

Environment - Device: Acer Neo 16 (PHN16-71), 2023 model - OS: Windows 11 23H2 (Build 22631.4974) - Browser: Firefox ESR 128.7.0esr (similar issue observed on 140esr) - Current version in use: Firefox ESR 143.0.4 (64-bit) - Graphics: Hybrid – Intel UMA + NVIDIA RTX 4060 - Drivers:

 - Intel UMA: 31.0.101.4146 (UMA-labeled)  
 - NVIDIA: 551.76 (GeForce Game Ready Driver)

Issue Description While using Firefox ESR (128.7.0esr and 140esr), the laptop’s built-in screen occasionally begins to flicker, and after prolonged usage—especially when browsing Facebook for tens of minutes—it gradually develops severe distortion, resembling water damage or ripple effects.

Key observations: - Screenshots appear completely normal, indicating the framebuffer is unaffected. - No external monitor has been tested yet; the issue is only observed on the built-in panel. - Rebooting temporarily resolves the issue, but it recurs unpredictably. - This issue never occurred on my older laptop (Acer V3-772G) using the same ESR versions.

Steps to Reproduce 1. Launch Firefox ESR (128.7.0esr or 140esr) 2. Browse Facebook continuously for tens of minutes 3. Screen begins to flicker, then gradually distorts 4. Take a screenshot → image is normal 5. Reboot → screen returns to normal

✅ Expected Behavior The screen should remain visually stable during browser usage, without flickering or distortion.

Actual Behavior The built-in screen flickers and eventually distorts, while screenshots remain unaffected. This suggests the issue may lie in the final stage of the display output pipeline, possibly involving the TCON (Timing Controller) reacting to GPU output or Firefox’s rendering behavior.

Additional Notes  

- Hardware acceleration was disabled in Firefox for testing — the issue still occurred (on older versions). - No similar behavior observed in Chrome or Edge. - BIOS screen appears normal, ruling out panel damage. - After upgrading to Firefox ESR 143.0.4 (64-bit), the distortion issue has not reappeared for two weeks, though minor flickering still occurs occasionally during browsing. - Interestingly, when distortion or flickering occurs while browsing Facebook, switching to another website immediately causes the screen to temporarily return to normal.

 This suggests the issue may be triggered by specific rendering patterns or GPU calls on certain web pages.

- This may indicate a rare interaction between Firefox ESR and specific hardware configurations (UMA → TCON → panel).

I've used Slack every day for the past decade, and Firefox has been my primary browser for some time now. I've never had an issue with the two, but now, Firefox is reliably crashing every time I attempt to open Slack.

I've tried clearing my cache both broadly and specific to Slack, with neither producing results. Even tried deleting all cookies on Firefox, which was a bit of a pain, and it was no help.

I did read up on some people encountering a similar issue that could be fixed by deleting the Slack entry in "about:serviceworkers," but this did not help here.

The only extension I'm running is uBlock Origin, which I've been running for probably as long as I've been using Firefox, and that has never presented an issue before either.

Would appreciate any help or advice on the matter.

Windows 10, latest version.

I hit a shortcut, I think, and heard the trackpad, then one of the three open tabs was isolated from the rest in a separate, almost chromeless window.

It's not in the taskbar pop-ups but instead has its own icon. In this 'chromeless' window there is no option to add a tab or window, there is no area to move it (I have to carefully use emtpy space in between buttons to move it). The top just fell off, that's basically it.

I have never seen this and have been using Firefox from the start way back when. I didn't install anything; this just happened as I was reading something and accidentally touched a key. Nothing changed, no settings were adjusted, nothing.

This option is not in the tabs menu or anywhere. I must say I kinda like it for this one 'tab' (which is a solo chromeless window) but I do need the menu and so on for productivity.

One of the screenshots shows this 'window', the other shows that 'window' is not part of the regular pop-up tabs in the taskbar but rather has its own icon, as if it were an app, in that taskbar.

What in the world is this? Can someone help?

my firefox/mozilla updated without my knowledge. I turned the computer off and on and when it came back on it said it updated. My bookmark bar is missing along with all the drop down bookmarks I had..there was an arrow pointing down. I don't remember all of the bookmarks there were and there were lots. Some were for doctor portals. How can I get my bookmarks back I tried some online stuff but nothing works. Donna

I have no idea how 100k people can review an extension labeled ICLOUD PW EXTENSION and you guys can't either remove it for the scam it is or show it has your approval as an extension up to FireFox security standards. 2.7 stars 100k reviews looks like a scam. Simply my feedback. Can't tell if I should trust so I'll never trust it until it's sufficient enough.

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?

I have various shortcuts saved on the shortcut page comes up after logging in. Its set to 2 rows.. I use it every day. Used it this morning and working perfectly. Been out and when I came back the page is totally blank. I've tried sytem restore to 5th October but makes no difference. I use Windows 10 and read that Firefox are continuing to support Windows 10 I'm visually impaired and use a desktop PC with a large screen. I'm not PC techically knowledgeable. How do I restore my shortcuts or how do I re create them?

Neither the [`

So how do I get them running? A significant portion of the internet runs on WebM and the fact that Mozilla's own dev docs can't show examples is a good indication of a problem.

This started happening a few days ago.

I tried to drag a tab out of the main window to put it in its own window on my other monitor, but the tab just became unselectable, and if i scrolled in the tab bar, the tab icon and text would remain locked in place in the display while the other tabs moved behind it.

The main Firefox window also lost the minimize, restore, and close buttons. The only way to make the tabs work was to close Firefox and relaunch it.

I noticed this happened only after any app in the OS went full screen, be it a steam game, or another Firefox window, or a VLC window, or anything else that I did that made an app full screen in any of my monitors.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 with KDE Plasma 5.27.12. Kernel is 6.14.0-29. Display server is Wayland.

Initially I thought this could be a problem with the snap version of Firefox, so now I've installed the deb package, but the problem remains. Firefox is the only app which presents a problem of any kind when any window goes full screen.

Here's a video showing what the problem looks like, in case my description was not clear. The ghostly tab in this video is the chess.com home page and you can see it as the third tab from the top right of the video, and it remains in that position as i scroll the other tabs, completely unselectable with the mouse.

Any idea of what could be causing this issue to appear?

Thank you!
