I-Firefox Community Forum

I'm conducting research on the web but nothing is being recorded in my search history which is really annoying as I need to refer back to it at times. I can find it under recently closed tabs. Please can you advise what is going on?

Using Firevox 142.0.1 on a MacBook Air. I always have "Always ask you where to save files" checked in Preferences, but lately it sometimes fails to ask me. For example, if I try to download a file from Google Drive. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do about it?

I love Firefox and generally really appreciate the way y'all operate as a company and developer.

However, I really don't like this new function to add tabs to a group. Since it rolled out, I'm always adding tabs into groups when I don't mean to. Really, it's creating a group almost every time I move a tab around. If I delete the group, it's just more clicks and distractions to deal with.

In the past, when you've rolled out new features like this, you've also made it very easy to turn off any new feature we don't like. But I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I have several PC;s but all suffer on occasion absurdly slow performance when a Firefox update is released.

I may be wrong but it appears there are too many of these processes running, I tried changing the value in " about:config " but Firefox defaults the value back to " 12 " when the browser is restarted.

" app.normandy.migrationsApplied 12 "

The below details are from a small, new cube pc that runs great, it is slow but does perform well, even previously just the other day running multiple Live Youtube streams with no issues, until now. :)

Any help would be great. Thank you!!!

How to disable the auto-adding of shortcuts feature from history to home page? It's really annoying, when I want to change my pinned shortcuts, I have to delete all auto added shorcuts (Even when the items on the screen are finished, they keep appearing in front of me, and this takes a long time). It is a must feature I think.

I don't remember signing up for Microsoft OR Mozilla. but I've been using Firefox for years. I have Microsoft, which may be [edited] @gmail.com, as I changed it from that to [edited] @gmail.com years ago, and haven't logged in for years.

audio is not playing in firefox, nor does it appear in my third party sound mixer like it usually does. it does appear in windows' sound mixer, but does not play any audio. i have refreshed firefox and checked my drivers and my devices work fine. firefox is the only application on my computer that refuses to play audio.

Many web pages that have a video header will launch the video in a popup window after you scroll past the header.

There are no user controls in the popup window, and clicking 'block popups' and turning off 'enable p-n-p controls' had no effect on them.

Is there a a setting that will stop these video popups from automatically launching? They eat up a lot of memory, and are a pain to turn off manually.

Thanks.

This problem, annoynace, has become overwhelming of late. It appears everytime a have a FF version download, this problem increases. Any help advice would be appreciated. Dan

I see there is a new AI chatbot feature available on Firefox. In reading the article about the various AI providers, I did not find information about who owns each of the chatbots. That information would be helpful in deciding on which chatbot, if any, I might decide to use. Thanks.

Hi guys, Had Firefox as network default browser for decades. Now I have a problem with my DNS pihole filter, firefox just goes around it. I've read countless articles on how to stop this, I've tried DoH 0 and DoH 5, I've placed a file policies.json in a distribution folder. I've tied everything I can find on the net. Nothing and I do mean nothing, had the slightest effect. Firefox goes around whatever I try.

I've spent many, many hours on this please tell me how to kill this, I'm forced to use another browser at the moment, which is painful.

version 142.0.1 64bit W11.

Thank you Bob.

I've done all the troubleshooting I could find, including: Uninstalling, tried using beta ff, disabled hardware acceleration, disabled/removed all extensions, memtest, updated various drivers. Still frequent tab crashes Tried two other browsers and neither of those had any issues. No crashing on edge or duckduck.

Crash reason seem to be mostly EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ and EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT

Few crashes from today: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../647f9599-8e18-417d-852e-b52300250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../2001d7f1-4cfc-476b-9a88-4679a0250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../b2101bae-a1cc-404c-b0d2-7b8230250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../dede8925-55e3-484e-b2ab-3863d0250827
