I-Firefox Community Forum

I don't understand a lot of the UX decisions behind the new search bar: - Requires more clicks and keyboard strokes now to do the same things - Trending search suggestions cannot be disabled - But after disabling search suggestions entirely (because I don't want to see trending suggestions), I still see recents suggested when I first select the search field... but only then, and not as I type? - Hitting backspace one too many times reverts the search bar to my default search engine

The old search bar was awkward, but this one feels worse. Waaay overdesigned. Is there anything I can do about any of these issues? Should I expect any updates to search bar functionality in the near future?

Bonus complaint: WTF is up with the numbered list/bullet list situation on this form, holy moly. Had to just use dashes because those features are so unusable.

In all webpages, including Firefox settings pages, text appears like poorly chosen Cleartype settings. This does NOT apply to the menu and Address bars, nor the drop down options in "Which topic best describes your question?" that appears when asking a question here. Troubleshooting mode does NOT solve this, however switching profiles DOES, so I imagine there is a setting responsible for this however I've reset all font-related settings I could find. I've attached a screenshot of the result on this page. Choosing alternative fonts does NOT solve this.

I need a fucking no on this setting, not a "not now". I do not want the browser to open on startup. But when I do want the browser open, there is the browser asking me again like an ex that wont get the hint.

...and getting this message.....Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

Hello, I've turned the VPN on in my firefox web browser, but some sites are still blocking me even though it says I'm in the US when I look up my IP Address. Just thought you should know. Thanks.

Quite simply I replaced the dead power supply on an old PC of mine and booted it up to start using it again as a work PC.

When I did the now decade old version on firefox told me I might want a clean reboot which I clicked Ok since the history was so old on it as to be irrelevant. Firefox closed but didn't reboot. So I launched it again and simply chose not to restore the old tabs when prompted (not even some of them as that was also an option). I updated the old version on firefox I had on it before restarting it and logging into my firefox account to sync and try to transfer my work tabs to the old PC. When I did so I realized on the old PC that reopening Firefox didn't reopen where I had left off. I thought it was just the update but did a check nonetheless. Opening a couple of random tabs before exiting firefox and launching it again. It didn't reopen the last tabs. I checked the settings: "open previous windows and tabs" was checked. Did a brief google search that confirmed my next step: uncheck that box > exit firefox > launch firefox > check the box again > relaunch firefox. I did all that and was still not getting my tabs back.

Then I went back to my current PC (where I had changed nothing) and missclicked (I think I was going to the settings) exiting firefox there (3 windows and probably ~60 tabs ... yes I have a problem). And now even on my main PC firefox didn't restore windows and tabs!

I hoped I could go to history > reopen closed windows but no dice. The option is greyed out. That is also when I noticed I had no history whatsoever.

Now I unfortunately relaunched firefox a couple of times here trying to troubleshoot BEFORE I went online and saw that I could have possibly restored the last session using some backups.

With all that in mind can I still restore my tabs/history somehow? And why isn't firefox picking up where I leave it even though the option for it is on?

All of this is on firefox v148.0 on win10 for both PCs if that's relevant.

Thx in advance for any and all help!

Using the Firefox browser: Logging into MS365 via https://login.microsoftonline.com has recently caused the “Copilot homepage” (m365.cloud.microsoft) to freeze. There is no response to mouse clicks or keyboard input. The login name is displayed in the bottom left corner, but there is no reaction with information and options as usual. The “Show App” option above the login is missing. Entering the username, even in MFA input, works without errors; all users are logged in via Entra. Access via MS Edge works as before, as does Firefox.

At some time after one of the updates, my passwords disappeared and no matter what I do, I need to reload them every time I start firefox as they are always missing.

HI everyone

Whenever I try and access the UGC cinema site - showing latest movies in various locations - the opening page gets blocked straightaway upon opening: my screen turns dim, I cannot select either latest movies or cinema hall where a given movies is shown... I cannot do anything. The mouse refuses to click anywhere .. Strangely when I open the same site , namely https://www.ugc.fr/ , with another net provider: either Opera or Microsoft Edge, I do not have any problem ... Why does this site work OK with Opera or Microsft Edge and not with Firefox ??? I get no warning or error message from Firefox either, nor from my Antivirus ... A real puzzle. Welcome any help to solve this mistery Thanks in advance Best Regards
