Firefox overwrites current tab with "homepage" tab on start up

Since the last Firefox update, I've noticed an issue whenever I launch the browser. I have it set up so that I have multiple tabs open, and it's set up so that when Firefox starts up, it opens all of the previous tabs and starts me on the tab I was on when I closed the browser previously.

Now whenever I start Firefox, it opens to the last tab I was on, but said tab opens on my current homepage instead of the website that tab was on previously. I experimented by changing my homepage to "Youtube.com", picked a different open tab, closed Firefox and opened it again and sure enough, the tab was now on the Youtube page instead of what it had been previously.

Is this just a bug of the current Firefox version, or is there something in settings I can do to fix this?

Using FF 108.0.2 (64-bit) in Debian 11 Linux,I need to view http://www3.winsystem.org/monitor/webmonitor.php but my new laptop is very high resolution. I can control the text size with Ctrl+ but the background gif image of a small window with bogus scrollbar needs to be made larger somehow so that the white text can be read against the black portion of the image.

Is there some way to enlarge the gif image, please?

When I bookmark something, I often apply tags. I have noticed that when I use a very long tag, combined with many tags, it prevents tags being used. For example, the word "internationalization" prevents tags being stored.

A bookmark that is tagged like this: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen internationalization will not have its tags saved.

However, this is stored successfully: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen internationalization

This also stores successfully: 'one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen'

entire firefox toolbar enters overflow menu thingy when i watch videos in full screen (player full screen not FF/f11 fullscreen), this also happens even when i reset toolbar to default, all of it still enters overflow, and i have to press F11 twice to get it "out" this is totally new, (didn't even know there was an overflow thingy), in over a decade of firefox never encountered this seen it, to the point i didnt' realize overflow was a thing, and on a new install i can't seemingly to get it to not keep "eating" my toolbar

this is super annoying, and i would really really like a way to "Lock" my toolbar so this doesn't happen, and i can't imagine it's normal in anyway, specially when it happens on default and a clean install/empty browser, please help get back to normal toolbar "sticky"

Hi For 3 days now all sounds that is played in Firefox is studdering, like it loads to fast. Windows Audio Endpoint Builder activity go sky high too. Can not even play spotify songs at all when it gets like this, the audio loads, but no sound can be herd. It started just random as I was watching youtube.

But if I play sound in any other web browser or outside of Firefox on VLC or something , the sound is just fine. I removed any added tools, restarted, no it did not work.

Then today, is suddenly went back to normal.... for half the day then it went bad again. Then I was listening on a playlist on Spotify and it went silent so I though the playlist stopped , but no. It was not it, now youtube was messing again.

So what did I do half of the day that fixed it and caused it....I was doing as any other day , looking at youtube and listen to spotify... not much more this day.

This is very annoying to me :(

Although passwords are not stored, Firefox shows the user names/account names whenever I click such field. Where can I deactivate that user names/account names are stored and shown? Many Thanks in advance. Best wishes!

Hello,

I have a really high RAM usage with Firefox.

What is intriguing, is, from the "about:performance" tab I totalize 6.02 GiB of RAM. And from the System Monitor, 14.59 GiB (+242.4%).

I suspect a memory leak.

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue when accessing my website using Firefox on Mac.

The browser blocks the loading of an external Google Adsense script, logging the following error: "Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource". Here is an example URL:

https://www.varbes.com/

To my understanding, the site does not have a Content Security Policy ('CSP'). We don't send a CSP network header or in the HTML, so am at a bit of a loss as to how I debug this.

I don't see the same issue using Firefox on Windows, or with Chrome, Edge or Safari. I have performed a fresh install of Firefox on my Mac to make sure no extensions are causing the issue.

Other websites seem to be running the same AdSense code okay.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Matt

I can sign out and re sign in to my Firefox browser (PC) with password xxxxxxxx. ( I signed into this support page using xxxxxxxx). I can sign into my Firefox account on Microsoft Edge browser using my email address and password xxxxxxxx.

However, (using Firefox or Edge) once in Firefox manage account settings, when trying to change my password - using xxxxxxxx as 'my current password', I get a red banner stating 'incorrect password'. I now don't have an account recovery key, as I was in the process of changing this when I found that the password xxxxxxxx was called incorrect.

Just to see, tried my Firefox sync password yyyyyyyy. Did not work, as expected.

What is going on? How can I change my password? How can I create a new recovery key?

Hello there, for the past few months I had the issue that FireFox keeps changing my default search engine to google. Every so often I go to search.brave.com, rightclick on the url bar and click 'Add "Brave Search"', which then adds brave search as search engine to my settings where it can be selected. This has worked flawlessly for quite some time before, but nowadas it just keeps ressetting my search engine back to google which I do not want.

If anyone has experienced the same issue or has a fix for this please let me know. And no I didn't want to install an extention to change my default search engine, i just want this "Add xyz search engine" feature to work again.

Title. Whenever I open Firefox, the window will appear shortly after, but it will take around a minute for websites to load. This applies to both tabs from older sessions and opening new tabs. It doesn't matter whether I've just booted up, or if I've been running for half an hour. I've tried disabling all extensions, but that hasn't fixed anything. I am running Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon on my Gaming Laptop. Specs shouldn't be an issue. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!
