I accidentally deleted my old Firefox beta And I need to recover my settings bookmarks and data etc by logging in how do I do that immediately? I'm trying to recover my old Firefox beta account how can I do that immediately

i want to activate the build in VPN but it says i need to sign in. so i do that. then it says i need to click on it and it sends me back to the sing in and tells me to do it again...

One of the more particular habits I have retained after switching from Chrome to Firefox is putting things in Tab Groups. This works great on Chrome as groups are more-or-less visual, and don't make a mess once you've closed them. On Firefox, however, I've noticed one really annoying thing: tab groups are saved in a giant list. Part of my workflow results in making Tab Groups with the same name as some of my bookmarks. When using the address bar to go to the bookmark will result in the tab group of the same name being brought up. For various purposes, this is decidedly unhelpful. In addition, when using the "Recent Tab Groups" drop down, it is rather annoying to see an entire screen's worth of tab groups being saved, especially when they all have the same(ish) name.

Is there a way to disable this saving of tab group names (and contents)? Clearing it out manually gets very annoying.

I have reproduced a persistent Firefox/Linux emoji rendering issue in ChatGPT and found a small CSS workaround that fixes it.

Environment

Linux Firefox 155.0.1 The problem also reproduces in a completely fresh Firefox profile Noto Color Emoji is installed

Symptoms

In normal ChatGPT conversation text, some common emoji such as:

😄 😂 😀 😁 🙂 😊 🤣 ✅

render as monochrome or outline glyphs.

Other emoji such as:

🚀 🔥 ❤

may render correctly in the same message.

A particularly useful clue is that the same affected emoji render correctly inside ChatGPT code/copy boxes, while failing in ordinary response body text.

Firefox DevTools Fonts inspection showed ordinary fallback fonts including DejaVu Sans, FreeSans and Nimbus Sans being used alongside Noto Color Emoji.

Updating Firefox from 155.0 to 155.0.1 did not fix it, and neither did creating a completely fresh Firefox profile.

Diagnostic test

Running this in Firefox DevTools Console on chatgpt.com immediately fixes the affected emoji throughout the page:

document.documentElement.style.setProperty(

 "font-variant-emoji",
 "emoji",
 "important"

)

Permanent workaround

Using the Stylus extension, scoped only to chatgpt.com:

html {

   font-variant-emoji: emoji !important;

}

This survives a complete Firefox restart.

This appears to be a font/emoji-presentation interaction where some emoji-capable Unicode characters are being satisfied by ordinary monochrome text fonts before the colour emoji font is selected.

Mozilla Bug 1971053 describes closely related glyph-selection behaviour and mentions font-variant-emoji: emoji as a remedy: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1971053

I am posting this both in case it helps other Linux/Firefox users and to ask whether this remaining behaviour on Firefox 155.0.1 is expected or should be tracked as a current Firefox/web-compatibility issue.

Firefox has recently started turning itself off. There is a failure message and it self-reports the issue. However it will do this without any website loaded, it just fails to continue running without a website being loaded. This happens everyday. The application will not continue to run just by being an open application with an empty about:newtab This is very frustrating.

Hi Mozilla Support Team,

We are experiencing a minor layout rendering issue on our online booking platform bookbustour when accessed via Firefox for Desktop.

Are there any specific Firefox CSS compatibility rules or extension settings we should adjust to optimize user performance?

Thanks for your assistance!

Bonjour,

Depuis le 4 août à 14h30, Google Meet ne parvient plus à accéder à la caméra de mon ordinateur portable lorsque j’utilise Firefox ou Chrome. Un message me demande d’autoriser l’accès à la caméra dans Windows, mais les autorisations sont bien activées.

Il est important de préciser que Google Meet fonctionne parfaitement avec Microsoft Edge, avec la même caméra et sur le même ordinateur et que Teams fonctionne avec Firefox.

Par ailleurs, jusqu’au 4 août à 9h30, Google Meet fonctionnait normalement avec Firefox et avait bien accès à ma caméra.

Il semble donc qu’une mise à jour effectuée entre ces deux horaires, soit de Google Meet, soit de Windows 11 (version 25H2), ait pu modifier ou bloquer l’accès à la caméra pour Firefox et Chrome.

Actuellement, je suis donc obligé d’utiliser Teams pour faire mes réunions.

Pourriez-vous m’indiquer comment résoudre ce problème et, si possible, vérifier s’il s’agit d’un problème connu lié à une récente mise à jour ?

Je vous remercie par avance pour votre aide.

Cordialement,

Dominique Turpin

From time to time, sometimes after Firefox updates, I get unintelligible characters on tabs, search bar on Firefox. It gets more frustrating because the issue extends to the Settings menu, so applying the fixes I see on the web is definitely not easy.

I am on macOS, a newer chip and below is what I tried.

Restarting Firefox Checking the library for duplicate font installations. Disabling the extensions Starting Firefox on troubleshoot mode Uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox Uncheck Use recommended performance settings (blindfolded by using the search panel under Firefox Settings) Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available (blindfolded by using the search panel under Firefox Settings)

I am a loyal firefox user and have used it for years. Security and features are great. I use Google docs constantly throughout the workday on my Mac and I am constantly having problems with Firefox. Google docs that I work in are constantly re-loading, incompletely downloading, going offline. I typically have 5-10 docs across the platform open at a time, and the problems are preventing me from working effectively. I have tried searching help forums and done the fixes suggested (repeatedly clearing cookies and cache, turning off protections, etc). Nothing works. Any ideas before I switch the Chrome (yuck)?

How do I make firefox my default browser when using search bar on task bar for windows 11. Although all my settings have the default browser as firefox microsoft, edge is what comes up when I use the taskbar search window.

I am unable to make or receive video calls in Facebook and WhatsApp. I used to be able to in Facebook. The message I get is that my browser doesn't support video calls. What is wrong?

This has happened on two different video sites already. While watching a video, it will go extremely dark and happens randomly. I also get a weird blank window frame sporadically. I've unjustly been reporting this to one of the video sites until I noticed the same thing on Youtube.

Accidentally told Fire-Fox to allow access to a website without two step authentication. I want to restore the ability to the website so the website requires a phone call to sign in.

Thanks in advance.

I'm on FF 154.0. The power went out here and when it came back and I booted the desktop computer something had changed in FF.

I used to see the active tab as green in the tab bar and yellow for the rest, but now they're all gray until I mouse over the bar and only then does it turn green/yellow.

I struggled with this for many hours trying many //active tab color// solutions I found in searches but nothing got it back to my old behavior.

So as a last resort I tried adding the Firefox Color extension, but when I click Add to Firefox it just turns into a throbber that never changes so it doesn't install. I'm stuck!

Frustrated!!
