In the menu for choosing which tab to add to a split view, tabs with the name/link of the original do not show up. I would like this fixed, although this is really only a minor inconvenience when duplicating a tab to put it into split view.

If I have two or more tabs open it happens very often that all tabs which are not in use are closed independently by the browser. At the same time Firefox independently creates bookmarks from some closed tabs in the bookmark toolbar. I always use the latest version of the brwoser and no extensions. I would be grateful for a solution. Thanks!

(Categorized as "accessibility" because I feel this is a vision-related issue - if I mistagged the topic please correct me... I don't know where aesthetic issues go.)

Image 1 is how the file explorer looks with a lighter Firefox theme (my main one), Image 2 is with a slightly darker theme. Both are primarily light blue, so I'm not sure why this has happened.

I have my computer and most websites I use on dark mode because I have an easier time reading white on black or dark grey than I do black on white when it gets later in the day. I want to be able to have the darker file explorer with my theme of choice, since light mode kind of burns my eyes...

Is this a new feature added in the most recent update, or something? I haven't had this issue prior to today - if it's a new thing, is there a way to turn off the light file explorer so that I don't have to change themes?

The first image speaks for itself. When I want to change the way this setting is set in a Facebook group, when Firefox is full screen, the associated dialog is so placed and/or sized on the screen that it is partially truncated on the left by the left side of the display. I just checked in MS Edge and it displays normally there with full screen display. It displays normally in Firefox when I Restore Down. So this one at least does seem to be specific to Firefox.

I have a second full screen display issue that may be related, but this one isn't just Firefox; Ms Edge also shows it, and other applications also behave similarly: the right hand scroll bar disappears in full screen (as does the applicaion menu control)! I had some trouble taking a pair of images to illustrate this, using Snipping Tool. The second image, when Firefox is set to restore Down, shows the scroll bar and application menu control, which is what I see. The third image was more tricky to take because the first time I tried, the screen capture included a scroll bar and application menu control even though they were not visible on screen. I had to redo it and be very careful not to let the right hand side of the selection drift off the right hand side of the display.

It seems like the full screen display is just a little "larger" than the physical display. I have tried one or two other screen resolution settings and that has not helped. My best guess is that it's a monitor settings problem, but I've also fiddled with the monitor settings, again with no success. And even if a monitor setting explains the pervasive right hand side issue, it doesn't explain the Facebook dialogue issue, which does appear to be Firefox-specific.

So my current workaround is just not to have anything full screen :(

I'm trying to use a service worker to add some additional headers to image and video requests but on Firefox the fetch event is only being invoked for the images and not the videos. On Chrome it is called for both.

I cannot find any documentation that says Firefox does not support service workers for video but this appears to be the case. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

sw.js 'use strict';

self.addEventListener("install", (event) => {

 // Force the newly installed service worker to replace any earlier version
 self.skipWaiting();

});

self.addEventListener("activate", (event) => {

 // Activate the service worker immediately in all clients  
 event.waitUntil(self.clients.claim());

});

self.addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {

 console.log(`SW.js: ${event.request.url}`);
 const updatedHeaders = new Headers(event.request.headers);
 //updatedHeaders.set('Accept', '*');
 // Create a new request object with the updated headers
 const updatedRequest = new Request(event.request, {
   headers: updatedHeaders
 });
 event.respondWith(fetch(updatedRequest));

});

When I use Firefox, I use CTRL key combinations to cut, copy, paste, and delete. I also use F5 to refresh a webpage.

Firefox uses many, many other key combinations and hotkeys, and a great number of them have caused the instant erasure of all the hours of work I had done on a webpage: The browser jumps to another tab, or it goes fullscreen (one of the Function keys does this), or it opens a new window, or it opens a History window, or it does any number of things which I neither want nor need.

I require only to use the key combinations and hotkeys to perform the functions that I have listed, above. But if I must sacrifice them in an overall disable, then I will do so.

Please tell me how to disable the key combination commands and hotkeys in Firefox.

What happened? Very odd bug here. I have a UAD Apollo Audio interface. My mac audio is routed to Apolos virtual 1-2 Channels. You can see the Audio Midi settings in the uploaded image.

Using Twitch there are some streams that play out of the wrong channels. For instance on one stream (https://www.twitch.tv/datto) the audio plays out of only the left side UAD Apollo Mon-L (the left channel of Apollos monitoring channel which is not virtual channel 1-2 my current Mac routing, but Monitor 1 only. Not even Monitor channel 2).

On other stream (https://www.twitch.tv/aztecross) it works correctly. I've tested on other browser including ARC and there was no issue. I've ran the troubleshooting mode and the issue is still present. I even changed my UAD Apollos to the normal Mon L-R channels and the issue is still present.

I'm wondering if Firefox has some issue with multichannel audio interfaces or audio interfaces in general?

I attached 2 images of my UAD console. You can see in the first image that on the MAC Channel there is no audio coming through while watching the Datto twitch stream. But you can see on the L monitor (all the way to the right) there is audio.

On the second image is a Aztecross twitch stream and audio is passing through the MAC channel correctly.

Any idea what is happening here?

Reproducible? I have checked that this issue is reproduced on Firefox, Firefox Nightly, Zen Browser.

What platform are you seeing the problem on? macOS - aarch64

My old Firefox on my desk top has a home icon to go back to the home page. This new Firefox on my laptop doesn't seem to have one? What am I missing? How do I get back to the home page?

Last night, all of a sudden, I get what appears to be the start of the Firefox browser, which I have used daily for as long as I can remember. In desperation to read my email, I went to Google Chrome and Gmail. But I have all my bookmarks with you. How do I get back in?

Hi,

I have a sidebar that appears to be permanent and I cannot make it go away.

I opened firefox, went to reopen the previous session tab with control + shift + t, and my fingers slipped and hit the wrong combo of buttons.

Then this thing appeared. This sidebar. I looked for similar questions on the topic, but it is not the history or bookmarks sidebar that pops up from control + h or control + b. I love hotkeys.

So my question is, how do I disable the dang thing?? I tried going into custom tools, I tried looking into settings, but I really cannot find this. And it seems that other issues are usually to due with bookmarks/history sidebars - which I don't believe to be the issue here..

Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's the sidebar on the left in my image if that provides any further info!

Thanks :)

Hello. I have a problem with Fecebook. When I try to make a call or video call from your browser, it comes out to me that this browser is unsporting this option! What should I do? For other browsers it doesn't have this problem!
