Is there a way I can have Firefox permanently offer the option to generate a secure password? Many, many, MANY times Firefox will not recognize that a particular input field is for a password, and therefore does not offer the option to generate one. Considering everything on this forsaken planet requires creating an account now, this minor issue has become very common and annoying for me.

To reiterate: I would like Firefox to always offer to generate a password, regardless of how the input field is labeled or marked up. Thanks!

edit: I don't know how to delete this. turns out this is a known bug on firefox on linux. Firefox cannot actually save payment info, but doesn't serve an error to the user. however in the console it will throw a NS_ERROR_ABORT error: "User canceled OS unlock entry" error when it tries to save. the one solution i looked at seemed way too complicated for me so i am simply going to give up and try to keep my cc closer to me and not get frustrated when it doesn't work.

Depuis Firefox 150 il ne m'est plus possible de Glisser-Coller un dossier avec ses fichiers dans un dossier de mon NAS Synology. Le service d'assistance Synology m'a apporté confirmation. Voir sa note en attaché.

Il semble qu'il y a un "bug" dans Firefox 150 et plus (j'ai le 155.0.1) pour ce Glisser - Coller ?

Que puis-je faire ?

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...

Most up to date firefox version, on new page i try to customise using the customise pencil icon, i try to change image to jpg files image or firefox own wallpapers and it won't work; themes of top bar are working. Not tried changing with theme (i.e. wallpaper theme), but presume that may work, also i tried undoing the themes and contrast stuff as mentioned online, but still not working and I also tried restarting firefox, but still same issue.

Please help me as i want to record some gameplay but it keeps getting squished & it is pissing me off. I have asked on reddit & people were unhelpful & telling me to just buy another computer. this is annoying as it is causing me when playing games it causes text to be unreadable at times. Thanks in advance.

Whenever I hold down the mouse button or space bar to speed up a video by 2x, it seems to let out a small crackle / pop, it wouldn't be as annoying if it only happened one time but it happens practically anytime I do it, sometimes it's when I first press it down, and sometimes it's when I let go.

I've been using Firefox for years and never had this issue until like 3-4 days ago I'd say, and it's a small thing but it adds up constantly and makes the experience fairly annoying, I tested the audio on google chrome extensively and it doesn't seem to happen there so I have to assume it's a Firefox issue.

Would love to see if there's a way to fix this.

Sites struggle to load a lot of the time now, sites like youtube don't load until I clear my browsing history and cookies, some sites don't load at all, some shops don't load any image previews. I've tried on other browsers when these things happen and they don't happen there.

As stated above, after the Firefox upgrade to version 155.0.1 I now only have 1 row of home page shortcuts and before the upgrade had 4 full rows of shortcuts. The setting are still set to 4 rows, but only an auto generated 1 row. I would like to restore my rows without having to add them back one by one.

There is seriously something wrong with the way Firefox operates. There is nothing wrong with the following site so why am I seeing this message?

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with news.sky.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

news.sky.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. Advanced What makes the site look dangerous?

The site is set up to allow only secure connections, but there’s a problem with the site’s certificate. It’s possible that a bad actor is trying to impersonate the site. Sites use certificates issued by a certificate authority to prove they’re really who they say they are. Firefox doesn’t trust this site because its certificate isn’t valid for news.sky.com. The certificate is only valid for: . What can you do about it?

Seemingly any program that has links that when clicked there, redirect and open a new tab in your browser just, do nothing now that I've swapped to Firefox? No indication or response on Firefox, it just acts like nothing happened. I don't even know why something this simple would break, let alone what WOULD break it.

This is a followup to a previous post. I pinned a tab in firefox, and later deleted the webpage that was pinnned. I do not see a way to edit the pin, so I deleted it and created a new one with the new, updated webpage. I use the sync feature to keep all of my browser settings the same across three computers. I have tried multiple approaches to correct the problem. 1. turned off the sync and manually unpinned the tab, cleared the cache and browser history, checked to be sure I do not have the option to reload previous tabs turned on, booted in the mode that does not load any plugins, rebooted the computers 2. with sync turned off, after all of those steps, I opened the new page and pinned it on each computer. when I close the browser and reopen it on any computer, the original pinned tab returns. Turning the sync back on or re-enabling the option to sync tabs and history have no effect.

Is there a way, even if it´s within the configuration files, to change that pinned tab or block the old one from opening? Note that the website for the old and the new pinned tab is the same. the difference is the page itself. the old tab was [website].administration-landing. the new page is [website].admin-lp.

The is no reason why the old page, which no longer exists, continues to be pinned in the browser, but I can´t get rid of it.

Please help. Thanks.

Hello,

1. sync
2. widgets

Unfortunately, not all settings are synchronised when I sync my settings through my connected Firefox/Mozilla account.

For example, the following `about:config` preference is not saved:

`browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.system.enabled = true`

In addition, several settings from the regular Settings menu are not synchronised either, including:

- Start page settings - The custom ordering of search engines under **Search** - The option to NOT save payment methods & addresses - The option to NOT automatically trust installed certificates - secure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) activated with provider & fallback behaviour set

This is frustrating because I have to go through all the settings again after syncing. In some cases, the behaviour also seems inconsistent—for example, the checkbox for automatically trusting installed certificates does not always retain its selected state (sometimes it is unchecked[desired] and on other occasions it is checked).

Could you please investigate whether these settings are intended to be synchronised and, if so, why they are not being saved?

A reliable sync feature should reproduce the desired configuration consistently, including all stable settings—or, at a minimum, clearly document which settings are excluded from synchronisation.

Best wishes, RaphiQ

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.

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.

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
