Shouldn't SAVED Payment Methods have a "Nickname" so we can know which one to use? I have a few cards I manage and use to buy for myself, my wife, and my daughter. There are too many for me to remember which of the accounts is for whom.

A simple nickname would add great ease of use!

Chrome seamlessly harmonizes with the PowerToys FancyZones feature in Windows 11. In Chrome, I can drag a tab out of a browser window, and instantly snap it into a FancyZone. I can also quickly arrange multiple separate Chrome windows into FancyZones without issue.

Firefox's interaction with FancyZones is not good. When I drag a tab out of a window, it doesn't allow me to snap it into a FancyZone. I first need to release left click, allowing the tab's new window to appear, then I can snap that window into a FancyZone.

The biggest occurs when I have multiple Firefox windows open and snap one of them into a FancyZone. Often, one of the open Firefox windows will spontaneously shrink itself in size. When I try to manually resize the window back to normal, it shrinks further and further, until it is an invisible sliver. The only solution when this occurs is to fully restart Firefox.

It seems strange that Firefox has such poor compatibility with FancyZones, which is growing in popularity along with other productivity tools in PowerToys. Wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues, if there is any workaround, or if there is a fix being worked on.

I'm trying to find a solution for having all tabs open across devices. Currently, my desktop has about 50 open tabs that I access regularly. Today, I installed Firefox on my laptop, signed in and initiated syncing. All bookmarks came over, everything looks great, except that none of my open tabs from the desktop browser show on my laptop.

I would like to have identical tabs open across devices. Is there a way to configure this where a new computer being logged in automatically receives all open tabs from the initial device and then tabs automatically sync based on whatever is opened/closed on either device after the initial tabs are identically synced?

I have searches from a year (or more) ago that are still popping up and I don't know why. I have done multiple clears of my entire history and individually removed old searches when they pop up - they still keep coming back.

I was working with responsive view mode and noticed that sensor scroll with mouse is broken. I checked on another PC and the problem there too. I don't know how to describe it, but I made a video and uploaded it to a website so you can watch it.

Suddenly Firefox is downloading my downloads to google drive. Why? I want them in my download directory, but changing the options in Settings/General/Download makes no difference. It is set to ask where a file should go, but does not. It is set to ask whether to open or save a file and it does not!

How can I get google drive out of this and save them to my desktop again?

So i reinstalled my graphics driver yesterday, and after that when i open a pdf on firefox it only shows blackscreen. it didnt happen on other browsers(chrome, edge)

I did a search to try and fix this. Suggestions included, checking if Private Windows are on, Customizing Toolbar, making sure all extensions are enabled and Refresh Firefox, all of which I did with no results. Before I go nuclear and uninstall/install Firefox, are there any other suggestions to solve this issue?

Move open account to new computer, old computer died, Firefox[ Mozilla] have all my pass words also, Will not let me open old e mails etc. sync wants cell phone,it doesn't work where I live. thanks john

Hi. I use firefox version 133.03 (64 bit) and have issues when on x.com's website. It will randomly open new tabs constantly. I have tried multiple options with settings on firefox and my pc, blocked new windows from opening, and disabled pop-ups. Checked my extensions and tried disabling all and that did not affect anything. I have run scans for viruses, malware, etc., and nothing comes up.

Any advice? It gets pretty annoying having to close the repeating tabs to be able to view the site.

Newly restored Lenovo factory image. 2 pieces 3rd party sw: Atlas (v0.4.1 9Oct2024) and Firefox 133.0. Windows 10 22H2, no updates pending, Edge / Cortana / CoPilot removed (by Atlas).

FF sync account is recognized, sends auth code to email, when enter code, get the: "Bad Request Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." at each attempt.

Oddly, I have 2FA enabled, and have not been queried for its code. Perhaps that is where process is failing?

Another Lenovo machine, M710Q 1TB 16GB Windows 22H2 with Atlas, Firefox 133.0 and a slew of 3rd party software and updates is running just fine. Am able to sync / manipulate account as needed, FF Relay, etc.

Suggestions / tips before I nuke the M920Q and start from scratch again?

When my Firefox crashed today, I chose to restore it rather than troubleshoot. When it was done, my bookmarks icon had disappeared. Yet when I go to the individual websites, I can see that each one is still bookmarked. How can I restore the icon that used to be in the toolbar at top? Thank you for any help you can give. I have been using Firefox for many years now and this is the first time I encountered this problem.

Hi, my session with a lot of open tabs has been lost due to a crash. In the profile folder, the recovery and previous files in the sessionstore-backups have been deleted. I tried to recover them using shadow explorer, but these files are corrupted, so I've had no success reading them. Is there a way to fix the corrupted files? Alternatively, because I've had sync enabled for open tabs, is there a log for past open tab synchronizations? If this was stored on the cloud, it may be possible to retrieve that table and restore the list of open tabs that way?

The setting "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" and middlemouse.openNewWindow in about:config will not fix this issue: when using middle mouse on the bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, it will automatically switch the foreground tab to the new opened bookmark which is not great. The combination of the previously 2 mentioned settings will allow hyperlinks and such to work fine, but not on bookmarks. this makes it tedious when I wanna just have something ready in the background.

Following a recent update of my bios (AMD Ryzen) of my PC the on-board sound system failed. I chased down the issue, got a sound card to circumvent the on-board circuits, and had sound once again but for my FireFox (Ver 133.0.3, on Windows 11 Home, Ver 10.0.22631 Build 22631). Testing with alternate browsers (Edge, Opera) the sound works, as do my downloaded games and music but no joy with FireFox.

My question: Is this a known issue being addressed for a future update or are my circumstances an outlier issue?

I noticed recently that my Firefox changed, now when I click on the search/url bar at the top of the screen it opens into this full window sized search bar that sits at the top of the screen which is really bothersome. I also noticed that the close and minimize icons which are normally at the top right of the screen moved to be pushed inwards. I cannot tell if this is some issue with my Arch install, or a theme, but I tried switching to other themes in Firefox that do not use the system stuff and it seems to still be an issue? Could it be something else? I am totally at a loss as to what caused this and how to fix it, if I need to do something else on my system I can do more troubleshooting as well. (I have included two screenshots showing what I mean)

I had a lot of tabs open in Firefox, and they always stayed there even after restarting my PC. But suddenly, all of my tabs disappeared, and I can’t recover them using “Recently Closed Tabs.” Can I get them back?
