For Firefox version 104.0.2, the screenshot feature is not working. This includes the icon that can be placed in the toolbar, the right click on webpage feature and the ctrl+shift+S method. You can "find" the feature (e.g., the "take screenshot" option will appear in the right clear option) but regardless of the manner selected, teh feature is inoperable.

Once again Firefox adds a feature I don't want and can't disable. I want not to have a tab bar. They take up too much screen and get in the way. So I fond code that eliminates the tab bar unless there is more than one tab. Then the latest release addes the 'search tab' down arrow I neither want nor ever asked for and I can't get rid of it.

Why do you insist on doing this Mozilla? How do I turn this useless feature off?

How do I sync between to laptops? I would like to sync my settings and bookmarks. QR code generation is ridiculous. I do not want firefox on my phone.

Many Thanks,

A few months ago when I updated to the latest version, as I always do, the bookmarks were not carried over. I restored to an earlier time to retrieve them and have been using an old version. Every time that I go to the program and when asked to update, I click "no." I am finding now that several websites will not accept Firefox. After 20 years of saving, I do not want to recreate, as I would have had to do at that time. Do I now upgrade to newest version and pray that my bookmarks are there?

Well, I'm trying to make use of the option to delete cookies without deleting some that I allow, but apparently it's buggy. I want Firefox to clear cookies every time I close the browser, however, I manually added some exceptions and even then the browser deletes these exceptions when I close it, if I can add exceptions, it's so they won't be deleted when closing.

In the previous versions of Firefox, when selecting a language of input, all the other languages were unselected. This was a much better option than today's, where they remain selected, allowing to check in several languages simultaneously. The problem with that is that when a word exists in both languages with a small difference (accent, two letters reversed or something like that), if there is a spelling mistake, it may not appear. In the example below, "defense" should be with an accent: "défense".

Hi there!

I recently had the misfortune of Windows crashing on me and my PC needing a repair shop to reboot it. In the process, I've been needing to download all my programs again, but thankfully I made a firefox account and was hopeful all my years of login info would be easy to boop back onto my PC.

However, when I attempt to access my logins, it bars me access and I can't sync it with my phone, an Android who has the firefox app. It keeps asking for a Primary Password, something I had before my PC was reset, but I only just put that back in and it won't allow me to input it or change it. I can't even transfer my information over from Chrome. It's really frustrating since while I know a variety of my logins, some of them I used firefox secure generated passwords on and I have to squint at my phone to tap them in.

Any help would be immensely appreciated, and I'm hoping if I reboot after my downloads are done that this might fix my issues. But if it doesn't, I wanted to type this up to be safe!

Hi support team,

Yesterday, I suddenly removed all logins and somehow my profile was synced to the cloud.

Fortunately, I still keep all login files (json and key db files), I tried to recovery all my logins, it was successfully.

But, right after that my profile was synced from the cloud to my machine then whole logins were clear.

So how can I overwrite my profile in the cloud so I can totally recovery my old logins?

Kindly help to give my some advice.

Thanks!

Is there a way to turn off the scaled video stream permanently that is usually placed at the lower right of the web page. Is there a name for this. SFgate.com forces a scaled video stream when the main video stream is out of view. You can X out of the stream but it comes back eventually.

I need help. I took the PC in to have a virus removed and the store removed AVG Anti-Virus and installed McAfee. When I got the PC home and connected, all the Firefox settings had been changed and the AdBlocker and Greasemonkey extensions were missing. I now get a message in settings claiming my browser is being managed by my organization, only I don't have an organization. This is my own computer and no one else uses it or has access to it. I reinstalled the AdBlocker and Greasemonkey, but now cannot get Greasemonkey scripts to download. I keep getting an error message. I've had both McAfee and Staples remote support looking at the problem, to no avail.

Hi, I have trouble in login. I set 2nd authentication with wrong app, and I didn't backup my recovery key. I also formatted my desktop, so I cannot find recovery key, didn't set firefox sync, and all of my device wasn't connect with my ID.

In this case, how I can recovery my ID...?

And if I cannot recovery my ID, can I delete addon that already being distributed.

When I was looking at the site and login credentials I noted there are three accounts listed:

@hotmail.com - When I log into Firefox using this account I am granted access to bookmarks and related credentials. @gmail.com - When I try to login using this account, a message is presented saying I need to log in using the main account. This makes sense as this is listed as a secondary account.

My main concern is the last account - when I try to login using those credentials, I need to go through an account set up - including providing my age. So is this an account I should be concerned with, or can it be safely ignored?

Best regards! Loralie

I have Firefox installed on Linux (Fedora), Windows, and macOS, and on Windows and Mac, I can use ctrl (cmd on Mac) + shift + Y to open the Bitwarden extension. On Linux, this instead opens the downloads library (which is normally ctrl + shift + j...). Is there any way to change the shortcuts on Linux to be the same as the other two OSes? Judging by the many many open questions on this site about changing shortcuts, I'm not holding my breath...

Before the new update of Firefox the drop-down menu would color itself a red color, if one of the options were already chosen. For example, if a webside had selectable options of answers in a drop down menu, and answer A already was selected, it's fillcolor/highlight would be red - ensuring the same options wouldn't be chosen multiple times.

How do I get this "feature" back?

I want to know if there was any changes in recent tab cycling behavior? Now I need not press enter or click mouse button on one tab from list. Before there was instant tab changing after stop pressing keys (ctrl+tab). Greetings Kamil Tomicki

Using Win 10, I Yahoo email (in French) almost daily. When I return to English work about 1/3 of my screen is still in French in random words. I tried shutting down and rebooting, same thing. MS thinks the problem is with Firefox. Can you help? I speak French and English fluently but neither is my 1st language. In other words, I can still read the entire web page but it gets tiresome switching back and forth. Thankyou

Zoom not working correctly

I'm unable to maximize a specific website (Craigslist state home pages) correctly by zooming. The page opens at 80% zoom, which is too small to read. If I use the mouse wheel or control +, the zoom indicates 90%, but it's so large that only a small part of the text on the page is visible, and 3/4 of the page is blank space. It looks more like 300% even though it says 90%.

I can open the page correctly in full screen using F11 or the double-headed arrow in the upper lefthand corner, but then I don't have access to the menu bar. Is this a problem with Firefox, my computer, or Craigslist? I don't have this problem with any sites except Craigslist home pages.

Solutions I've tried: Clicked on maximize in upper righthand corner; used mousewheel and F11 to change zoom; cleared all cookies and cache, opened in troubleshooting mode, selected "Zoom text only" (made it worse so I deselected it).

Thanks for your help! I use CL for job hunting so I'd like to solve this.

Hello, I was hoping someone could help explain an odd thing I have been seeing for a split secound while using Firefox. Currently using the newest version of Firefox but have been noticing this happen for the last few months. While using Firefox I will see a white box flash in the upper right of the Firefox window for a few milliseconds.

I had to do a screen recording the slow down the recording down wish was a pain but I did capture it and included a screen grab below. I am running add-on's (Three Ad-Blockers) which I do use day to day but have independently removed them and still see the flashing.

Thanks for your time and assistance...
