So. I fired up the computer this morning. A new one, just got it in September. I have used saved passwords for many years. You have to use the primary password (was master password) to get to that file.

Except now I can't. I get a blurry screen with a banner across the top telling me to log in. But when I click on the "log in" button, nothing happens. If I click the X to close that banner, it does close. And there's various links left on the blurred screen. "Learn more", "passwords support", "import passwords from another browser" or "from a file". But none of those links work. Nothing happens when I click them.

When it says "Log in", I don't even know what I'm supposed to log in to. I don't get a chance to give the primary password. Logging onto Mozilla hasn't made a difference.

So now, I don't have access to ANY of my passwords. WTF Firefox? Can anybody help me? Will anybody help me?

I managed to get to my password because I'm on a new laptop and have not discarded the old one yet. But that's hardly a solution - keeping an extra computer around to look up passwords. I have a few passwords which I put in an old fashioned Rolodex. Maybe I better do that for everything.

I'm elderly. I rarely use my computer away from home. I don't want or need this "sync" feature. After all these years, am I going to have to look for a new browser because of this FAIL? Or is there some way out of it? As it stands now, I have no idea how to get into sync, even if I did want it.

Where did this come from? It's totally out of the blue. WTF? Can I get past this problem? How?

Sometimes I open several windows and some tabs in every window. It would be great if there is some possibility to get all windows but one closed an all tabs moved to this last open window to clean up this mess.

For example:

Window1:TabA,TabB.TabC Window2:TabD,TabE Window3:TabF,TabG,TabH,TabI

will become:

Window1:TabA,TabB,TabC,TabD,TabE,TabF,TabG,TabH,TabI

Has anybody a solution for this? Maybe an addon, which I didn't find?

Tab bar and Toolbar in one single bar

Hello everyone,

I'm really hoping to achieve a streamlined interface in Firefox without the clutter of two separate bars.

Here’s what I’m looking for: I want the tab bar and toolbar combined into a single bar, similar to Safari on Mac. Specifically:

   The forward and backward arrows should be positioned to the left of the tabs.
   The search bar should be smaller and also located to the left of the tabs.
   The application menu button and extensions button should be moved to the top right corner (on the same bar as the tabs).
   I want to completely remove the separate toolbar, as it takes up unnecessary space.

I’ve attached an image for clarity.

I'm currently using Firefox 132 64-bit on an Intel Mac running macOS Catalina.

I’ve already tried the Neptune theme from this link: Neptune Firefox. The creator is amazing, and the theme is exactly what I need to keep me using Firefox exclusively. However, despite following the instructions carefully, I still only see the layout shown in my attached image. I can't seem to get everything into one bar.

I don’t have experience with coding CSS, and I currently lack the time to learn it. I’m unsure if the Neptune theme should be selectable in the themes menu, but it doesn’t appear there. However, I know this design is possible. I’ve searched various forums and read many threads, but none have provided a solution to my problem.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in achieving the design shown in the attached image. Whether it’s through a theme, custom CSS code, a plugin, or any other method, I’m open to suggestions as long as it works. Thank you!

I have used Firefox for years and been 100% satisfied. Then I discovered Reddit and my inability to "reply" to any of the thousand posts there. I also have seen ALL the fixes people have done to make that work - and the resulting 100% lack of success. More recently, I have discovered X, and was able to "do all the things" on that platform....until now. Now it won't even OPEN X!!!! WTH? It says it was a failure. No kidding. Then I heard that I should remove enhanced tracking. Did that. Still failure.

Why are we going backwards with this browser? I am stunned that it won't even open a major, major internet platform. What can I do?????

I guess it's back to Safari. Yes, I'm on a Mac. But that shouldn't matter because until this last update, at least X worked.

Hello, I'm having this issue where when I go to "Command+#" it won't switch to the selected tab. When I just have a couple tabs open it's fine, but typically after 3 or more tabs are open I can't "Command+#" anymore. It works fine on my Windows machine, tried uninstalling, updating, checking extensions. Any thoughts?

I'm setting up a cloud-init to make it easier to deploy Linux workstations. I want to display the various links to my sites on my Firefox browser. Bookmark my services. Do you think this is possible? I've already applied a rule to retrieve certificates, but it seems complicated for bookmarks.

Here's an extract  :

{

 "policies": {
   "Bookmarks": [
     {
       "Title": "Main",
       "URL": "https://service.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },

       "Title": "Service 1",

       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {

My Firefox started crashing a lot recently. Dozens of tab crashes within the span of just a minute or two are not uncommon. Sometimes, the entire browser itself crashes. Usually, the reason given is a vague EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE or EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. I should note that in my case, the crashes affect most of the browsers I use, but they do not crash nearly as often as firefox does.

I've tried using it without any extensions (clean install), and with hardware acceleration disabled. I've run a RAM test also, which showed no issues. Disk check also indicated no issues. I installed windows 10 and even windows 11 on the secondary hard disk, but the issue persisted. I've also tried forcing my discrete/integrated GPU to be used solely as the display adapter, but the crashes still persisted.

When using firefox on ubuntu, the crashes do not happen, strangely. There was only one instance that I noticed the crashes on ubuntu, and that was when I set my discrete graphics card as the exclusive display adapter, from the BIOS settings.

Anyway, nothing really sticks out as the root cause. Wonder if someone is able to decipher anything from the crash reports below https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-6927a483-6c22-4830-b057-1413e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-42b9b1f5-5820-4ed9-9c52-30c8e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-0b92e804-00e8-4515-9129-3b5db0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-d27cdb0b-3e38-4507-925b-09ce30240914 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-fa6b0609-ae19-4a66-a81d-078040240911
