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?

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!

I have Verizon FIOS and have been able to receive cable channels on my laptop until recently. Now I cannot access them without a sign-in which leads to some sort of error that I don't understand. Any help?

Initial performance is good, but over time especially when tabs are opened and closed frequently responsiveness to user input (e.g. tab switching, opening/closing tabs, response to hyperlinks) becomes very slow. After force quitting and restarting, performance is good again for some time. I exclusively use private tabs.

Hello,

My firefox shows different time zone on calender when i want to sign up for events, while my macbook shows the right time. How can i fix it?

Thanks

Hiya, The latest firefox update for iOS 26 on mobile added a new feature, or at least a new prompt for an existing feature, with moving the address bar to either the top or the bottom, however this does not appear to apply to the sideways view option, and the address bar is only at the top regardless of which setting is used. Is this a bug?

Also it appears that the auto-hide behaviour takes more scrolling before it engages. Is there a setting to adjust this? If not I would like to request a setting to adjust this on mobile be added as I would prefer it be almost instant in both hide and unhide if possible. Many thanks!

For some unknown reason, you guys decided to remove the “home” button from the Firefox browser app for IOS. I have been using a home button on my browsers for over 30 years now and by removing it you have rendered the Firefox browser unusable to me. Why try to fix something that wasn’t broken? I shouldn’t have to open a new tab every single time I want to go to my home page! Who thought this was a good idea? Just so you know, I will most likely be looking for an alternative browser to replace Firefox if this is going to be a permanent thing.

Someone had me do an add-on. I have no idea what the add-on did. Nor do I know how to use the add-on or if it installed correctly. No one gave instruction on how to do what I am asking . So I am stuck with the need to make my scroll bar wider. I need detailed instructions for an idiot on the computer.

Hopefully this may reach Mozilla Connect maintainers/developers. After posting a topic or a comment in Mozilla Connect, I struggled to find it. Somehow I found out there is a page "My Unmoderated Items", which is not referenced from my account, from main menu or anywhere reachable. Once you know the link or leave it open, it looks fine, but finding the page again is a real struggle.

Would you please add "https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/premod/moderationitemspage/tab/unmoderated:idea" to all relevant menus so that the user can find it easily?

The article explaining why one should not downgrade ignores a critical reason why one needs to downgrade and that is when it turns out that the new version breaks an existing website!

I got bitten by this when Firefox "upgraded" me to V143 after which point the ticket system I use to support my customers stopped working. That same ticket system continues to work fine in Safari, Edge, Chrome and Brave, etc.

Worse, when one does try to downgrade, the old profile gets removed which means you lose EVERYTHING you had (tabs, bookmarks and presumably all the settings and saved passwords, etc). You need to be keeping the old profiles around so that they can be accessed again should someone NEED to downgrade. Fortunately I was able to use Time Machine to recover the old profile --- but somebody just didn't think this through.

Much as I have loved Firefox over the years, I'm starting to feel that it's time to give up on it and move to something else.

Turning off automatic updates is not a solution because eventually one will choose to upgrade manually and most people won't remember to make a copy of their existing profile. Should one then encounter a problem, you're back to square one

Very disappointing .

I keep getting a message when loggin into my gmail account to enable cookies. I'm using firefox so I assume that's where it want cookies enabled but I don't find a setting for it

Hello,

Since Firefox v142, the website I develop has been having trouble with the Firefox browser. It works fine most of the time, but occasionally Firefox will not send all of the cookies that are set for the domain. This is causing users to appear unauthenticated, and is causing errors because critical information isn't being set.

I wanted to see if this is something that was a setting that could be resolved before I reported it as a bug.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks.
