It looks like with this new version of Firefox I have to load my saved password file every time I start the browser, and even after doing the reload some of the passwords don't work forcing me to change them, and I would have to do another password save, but if I forget to do it and close the browser all the passwords are delete. I did not have this problem prior to this new install.

Also I prefer to use Firefox as a browser I feel it is way better than Edge and Chrome even though it doesn't work one a two websites I need to use. one only works on chrome the other only works on edge.

Let me know if you need other information.

bold text how do i move bookmarks along the bookmarks tab

I have just bought a new computer. Got firefox working and I have bookmarks on the bookmarks tab below the search box.

I used to be able to move bookmark tabs along it and it was my main organisational method.

OR I would drag a url down from the search bar to put it on the bookmark tab below

neither of these methods work any longer and it is a real problem.

I cannot think of a worst thing you could have done.

Help how do i move a bookmark along the bookmark tab, or move a url to the bookmark tab, or move those bookmarks which I can't see to the visible section below the search bar

recently Firefox has started leaving a small gap at the top of the window with the desktop background (the light blue in the screenshot) is visible when the window is maximized.

This issue doesn't occur with any other program and occurs in troubleshoot mode.

After the 145.0 update when I start Firefox both the menu bar and the top bar with the exit icon are missing. This is the first issue I've had since using Firefox when the new revision was in the 20's. Per some quick Support research, I press F 11 twice (NOT once) to restore the screen to include the top bar with exit icon and menu bar with my Windows task bar showing (as normal for the past 2 decades). When I close out Firefox in less than full screen mode and then start up Firefox again, it properly includes both the top bar with exit icon and the menu bar. HOWEVER, if I close Firefox in full screen and then restart, I am missing the top icon bar and menu bar... again. Press F11 twice and the bars are back to square one. HOW DO I FIX THIS SO I DON'T HAVE TO PRESS F11 TWICE ON EVERY STARTUP TO RESTORE MY SCREEN?????? WHY DID YOUR RECENT UPDATE CHANGE MY SCREEN SETTINGS?????

Hello,

I am having an issue where my menu bar continuously shows up. If I create another tab and drag it to create a new window, it goes behind my active window. When I try to change to that window it continuously opens the menu bar and refuses to allow me to change. I have to minimize my current window and drag the other window to get it to focus. Alt + Tab does not work to swap between them. Every time I click an application and click back to window the menu bar appears again, sometimes I have to click 3-4 times before it goes away.

I have tried made sure it was not my keyboard with an alt key stuck, tried multiple browsers, only firefox is the issue. I've created a new profile with zero extensions, the issue persists. I've also completely refreshed firefox with no success. Made sure all my drivers were updated and restarted the PC, unhooked the keyboard, nothing works - it continues to have issues. Running out of ideas here. I've also tried the below below solution for the menu bar and again, no luck. Any help would be great. Thanks!

The attempted menu bar fix I've tried:

Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter. Click "Accept the Risk and Continue". In the search bar, type ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses. Double-click the entry to change the value from true to false. Restart Firefox.

'bold textI HAVE TRIED ALL THE SUGGESTIONS IN SETTINGS BUT THE SITE WON'T OPEN TABS ON THIS COMPUTER WITH WIN.11 MY WIN.10 LAPTOP IS FINE. CHROME LOADS IT FINE. I MATCHED THE SETTINGS FOR WIN 10 ON LAPTOP AND STILL NO GO.

On Facebook I get posts from DoubleDown casino that have internal links to acquire free credits/points. When I click on the link, DoubleDown begins to open but goes "grey" and shows a rotating/pulsating circle but never opens. Any idea why? What do I need to do to get the links to open. No problem with Google.

Every time I go to use programs on my computer while on a Firefox session, when I return to Firefox, the menu that appears when I'd typically press the Alt key drops down. Every time. The only way I can get it to stop is by exiting out of the session entirely and reopening it. There is no option on my Firefox settings that can help me disable the action.

I have not installed or changed anything in my settings, it began happening suddenly, and has become an interruption in my workflow. Any ideas on what might have caused or what I can do to fix it?

Hi,

This is the first time I have reset my PC after switching to FireFox.

As far as i was aware, I had an account that allowed syncing.

Anyhow, I've logged into what I had thought was my account, yet it is empty.

Is it possible to have multiple accounts from the same email address?

If i provide my email address, can someone check to see what the issue is?

I'm 99.999% sure I have the correct email address.

Whenever I try to switch applications, firefox forces itself on top. And if i try to switch applications without the use of the windows key (I use two monitors), I will be unable to switch to the application until I press that windows key and manually click it. Whenever I try to switch, the Menu Bar opens up. So, when I try to switch applications firefox doesn't let me. Other programs do except firefox. I have no idea if it's a result of an option or keybind. Please help

If I go fullscreen in any mediaplayer (such as YouTube, Crunchyroll, Prime Video or Jellyfin) I get a bar at the top and a bar in the left. You can see either the wallpaper or another programm, its like shifted to the right and bottom. I know its a problem with tunred off Hardwareacceleration. If I turn it back on the problem never occurs. I tried with troubleshoot mode enabled but there I couldnt recreate it because the problem does not occur, even after I turn troubleshoot mode off. The problem only occurs again after a complete restart of the computer.

I know there are other posts with the same problem but there was never a solution.

I have the problem that if a stream is playing (Youtube or other video sites) and iam on another tab that the stream stopps/hangs for a second...

It seems to hang also if iam scrolling on another site while the video is playin in a not active tab.

If iam on the active tab where the video is playing it is working fine and no stopps/hanging.

So there seems to be a problem with playing streams/Videos on non active tabs...

I testet Linux Bazzite and there wasnt this problem with Firefox.

So seems to be a problem with Firefox in Windows...

I have Firefox Settings UNCHECKED to open previous windows and tabs, yet it very often tells me it's having trouble opening previous windows and tabs.

I want it to quit trying to open previous windows and tabs on this computer. How can I do this?

Tonight I received a notice that a new version of Firefox was available and asking if I wanted to download it. It showed me the new Kit mascot so I decided to let it install. It seemed to install normally but when it tried to open what I guess is a welcome/new features page, it crashes, and just showed a prompt to try again. This continued in an endless loop and I had to shut it down. Unfortunately I no longer had a functioning version available that I could find so I downoaded the ESR version to be safe (ver 140.5.0esr) which I am now using. Somehow I was able to recover bookmarks and hopefully other saved info. Can anyone advise what has happened? I have used Firefox for many years and never had this sort of problem before. Running Windows 11 on a new Dell i7 PC.
