I-Firefox Community Forum

This started recently, maybe with a recent Firefox upgrade.

Normally, when you start typing in the Address Bar of a Firefox Window, a dropdown list of suggestions appears. Very helpful.

However, NOW, the dropdown list covers up the Address Bar so I can't see what I'm typing. I can still type, and what I type goes properly into the Address Bar, only I cannot see it. (See attached screensnatch.)

Do I have a switch in the wrong position, or is this a bug?

(I'm on 151.0.4 (aarch64), running under macOS Sequoia 15.7.3 on a MacBook Air M1, 2020.)

When browsing between two screen, all my saved Firefox tabs disappeared. I have restarted my computer but they do not reload. I really need them (and have not accessed some of them in several weeks so it will be very hard to recover from history.) WHY did they go away and I do I restore them?

I have always, for 15+ years, been able to use the system Print dialog box to create a PDF.

But as of updating Firefox to version 152.0 (aarch64), all buttons related to Saving a PDF, etc. send the document straight to the Printer to print a hard copy. There no longer appears to be any way to save a PDF.

Example scenario: 1.) Visit website 2.) Select Print (cmd-P, File > Print) and open the 1st print dialog box 3.) Select "Print using the system dialog..." 4.) Select PDF in the 2nd dialog box. 5.) You used to be able to save the PDF at this stage, opening Finder, naming the file, and choose the Save DIR. However, as of this latest update, even after the Finder File Name dialog box, hitting Save at that stage sends it to the printer to print a hard copy.

Pressing PDF, Save as PDF, Open in Preview, and Save as Adobe PDF all send the file directly to the Printer to save it.

I've got tons of receipts and things to save for work in PDF and FF was always great at this. What happened? Is this a feature or a bug? Any and all advice is welcomed.

Running macOS 26.5.1, M2 Pro, macbook pro.

Every time I run Firefox 152.0b10 on Macos Tahoe 26.5.1 Mini it flickers and crashes. Its reporting a webrender compositor error. I made a new installation and it worked but I will have lost all my extensive userChrome/Content customization, as well as hours of time today and more hours to come transferring across and doing things like typing this out and checking versions.

And it flickers awfully on the new installation so is unusable. What should I do? I'm typing this on my Macbook Pro with M3 Pro & Macos Sequoia 15.2, which is not running Tahoe as it bricks all the Adobe software on the laptop. I refuse to rent Photoshop and Premiere for the exhorbitant price Adobe charge, and am transitioning to DaVinci products but not yet done learning.

I have cleared all caches, reset all the hardware acceleration stuff to off or force-disabled, and done everything else suggested by any and every AI agent, like switch off Widevine for a bit then on, or stop UBlock0 running in any way, shape or form. Things change when such things are done but don't work.

Dear Mozilla team,

I hope this finds you well.

I cannot seem to find the in-built VPN for Firefox. Is it a regional rollout? I am currently in Lebanon. Thank you. Kind regards,

I'm trying to use the built in VPN. I'm signed in but it just keeps returning me to the same page. The VPN icon doesn't have a green tick - it keeps the little black cross next to it. What am I doing wrong?

reCAPTCHA images provided but selection of images does not resolve the access issue. Not a problem with Safari

I'm on the latest firefox version 151.0.4 and having issues with the built in free VPN. It's showing up in the settings but I don't have the icon in the tool bar to adjust it or do anything. It's definitely enabled because it shows the settings and 50gb remaining of data. I've tried doing the about:config setting for enabling protection as well but that was already set to true. I toggled that and restarted my browser and firefox but neither worked.

The time zone stamp when using my default browser Firefox is 3 hours off. If I use Safari, it's correct. The problem occurs when using Gmail or Yahoo. It is only when using Firefox browser that the time stamp on email in incorrect. It is a Firefox issue and happened during the most recent upgrade 5/12/26.
