How do I disable the cruft which appears in the URLbar? Specifically, the trackers detected symbol, the certificate verified symbol, the bookmark this page symbol, and the question mark symbols which appear on both the URLbar and the searchbar.

Hello!

My 1Password Extension now requires me to click the 1Password icon at the far right of the Firefox nav bar. This, rather than simply autofilling the field(s) in question. In other words, it no longer "calls" 1Password and picks the correct, corresponding record in 1P, asking to confirm the autofill.

This is a new behavior that seems to coincide with a recent Firefox update and/or update to MACOS 26, but I can't be sure.

I absolutely detest this new 'functionality'.

Could this bee (: something wrong and not intentional?

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

This topic was already dealt with at https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://support.mozilla.org/si/questions/1491724&ved=2ahUKEwjh3JWX1KSRAxWDyMkDHYXfDf0QFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Zp2I2jgPnZ9gkSf5UgMGS. The solution given there was to change extensions.screenshots.disabled in about:config.

Unfortunately, my Mozilla Firefox (ver. 144.0 (64-bit)) doesn't have extensions.screenshots.disabled. So what now?

For the past few months, I have had a problem with my computer - it seems to try to write to a hard disk (sounds like whirring ) and the keyboard freezes up for a few minutes, when whirring in the computer stops. I have taken the computer to Geek Squad two times and they said they found it, but it still happens.

I have just tried Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and I haven't noticed it. Is this a problem with Firefox or just coincidence?

Every SINGLE time Firefox update now, we have to create a new profile, EVERY SINGLE TIME. We loose all our open tabs, passwords, history, bookmarks, everything.

Why is yours the only browser that does this, and how do we stop this from happening.

This is having an effect that is starting to drive me away from using all your products.

Following a reboot yesterday I could not get any audio output from any web page. I checked my output speakers using windows and found no problem. I opened Edge and had no problem. I can play video recordings from other external sources with no problem. This is something within Firefox. I have tried the various investigations from the help system and none of these worked.

Greetings.

Several times today I have had messages not sent because of this error message: "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue". I am sending political messages and am concerned that Mozilla is blocking me. I have sent hundreds of similar messages over the years with no problem.

What's up now?

Thank you. Sincerely, Gail Forrest

During the last week I have had the same issue come up on two computers. When starting firefox, the previously saved windows come up blank (no tabs, no content) and nothing works (no opening new tabs or urls). I was able to get firefox back to working condition by renaming extensions folder and then copying extensions one by one back to normal extension folder. When I copied 'newtab@mozilla.org.xpi' the issue came up again. Also, the new tab extension keeps auto adding it self every other boot.

Firefox: 144.0 (64-bit) - Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu - canonical - 1.0 OS: Kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS x86_64

I am using the (unsupported) compact mode for firefox UI density.

the manifest.json for newtab:

{"manifest_version": 2, "name": "New Tab", "description": "", "version": "145.0.20250919.173227", "browser_specific_settings": {"gecko": {"id": "newtab@mozilla.org", "strict_min_version": "142.0a1"}}, "hidden": true, "background": {"scripts": ["webext-glue/background.js"]}}

some of my icons on the location bar do not appear, or only appear when I have the window maximized. How can I reorder thewse icons so the ones I want to see most often are on the left? this refers specifically to the add-on icons, but I would think all the icons are controlled the same way (that is, if one can control them).

My search history is clogged with repetitions of the same search. For example I log onto my bank account and the search history shows 15 plus or minus entries. It also happens with other sites i visit often. I searched the internet about "history" and It was suggested that is check extensions and remove them. Then Just today my bank sign-in icon was gone. Sorry Im not always using the correct terminolgy.

i have a firefox account on my old windows 10 computer. Firefox is having trouble "finding that site" for some sites I've used for years. I've checked internet settings in Firefox, reset my WIFI router, etc. with no response for connectivity. But I really guess I don't know what or where to check... Thought it was a VPN setting, not fixed. What should I try to find and correct my problem?? Ray ([edited email from public forum])

I'm back to using Firefox for Windows. What is great about Firefox it's so customizable what is bad about Firefox is it's so customizable. I searched the forums for customizations that I wanna do and more often than not they are settings in the about:config section. Is there any way to back them up so that way if mess up something or if I can't remember the changes That I made to the about:config file Especially if I'm either migrating to another computer or reinstalling Firefox.

I was unexpectedly signed out of my account. I used my encryption key to sign back in which i have done before. I have never experienced this problem before. This time when i logged back in all of my saved passwords were gone. Is there any hope of fixing this issue?

Mozilla Firefox freezes for 5 to 6 seconds when downloading / saving files or changing the default "Save to" location.

Other programs (i.e. MS Word, MS Excel, Chrome) don't suffer from the same issue.

• I have mapped drives from my NAS on the same network.
• "Automatic Destinations" folder has been cleared
• Looking at the performance stats in Task Manager, CPU and memory usage values are normal.
• Antivirus / firewall software disabled to no affect
