Firefox Support Forum

Hi. i ran into a broken problem. sometimes when i bootup my pc and start the firefox, My windows crashes immediately. what shuld i do and how i can send the firefox log files to mozilla team?

Hi! From some time now i have problem with GUI elements overlapping each other. It started with the window control buttons (that part, where you can close the window). Esthetics aside, it was not that big deal, so I just ignored it, but some time ago similar overlap appeared on address bar - so now I don't see what I'm writing. This is a big deal, now I can't really tell if I made a typo, I'm not able to correct it or I can't see if what I'm writing is mixed with original url, stuff like that.

I'm on Manjaro Linux and Firefox version is 127.0 (64 bits) I've tried to reinstall Firefox with different sources, like Flatpak for example, but the issues persists. Has anyone an idea how to fix this?

I have set Firefox to not automatically restore the previous session on launch. That is, "Open previous windows and tabs" is unchecked in the Startupsettings.

Most of the time it does not do so, however the previous session will get erroneously auto-restored in the folowing circumstances.

Open a few tabs in a normal Firefox window. Fully quit Firefox (via, for example, pressing ctrl+shift+Q). Open a private window first. Open a normal window second.

What should happen is that the new normal window contains just a single new tab. What actually happens is that the tabs that were open in the previous session get auto-restored in this normal window.

To sum up, there is no auto-session restore if Firefox is launched with a normal window first. There is auto-session restore if Firefox is launched with a private window first, and then a normal window is opened second.

Is this a known issue, and are there any known fixes to prevent the auto-session restore in the latter case also?

Hi, I recently opened an account on my iMac with a news media provider. I opted for the Mozilla-generated email mask and securely-generated password. In both cases the mask and password consist of a very long sequence of randomly generated characters. Just wondered if there is an easy way to log in to apps on iphone without having to copy out a long sequence of characters for both email mask and password? Using latest version Sonoma 14.5. iPhone 15 iOS 17.5.1.

In recent Firefox versions, long container names are trimmed to around fifteen letters. Is there a way to disable this feature?

Since containers are named by the same user as the browser, people who want shorter names will name shorter ones by themselves. I wonder who wants this feature.

Version: 127.0.2

I want URLs of a page to stay the same no matter where I scroll, including on Discourse where stopping at a certain comment changes the url to that comment's number. Scroll this page to see: https://meta.discourse.org/t/should-url-change-as-you-scroll/55302

In an earlier version I set it up so that opening a tab opened about:blank and the title was blank via a simple Greasemonkey script:

// ==UserScript== // @name blank // @grant none // @include about:blank // ==/UserScript==

document.title = "\u2800";

Now not only did Firefox restrict what could be set on opening a blank tab, (which required me to install an add-on), the Greasemonkey script doesn't work on about:blank anymore.

I know I can set Firefox to offline mode by pressing Alt on my keyboard and choosing "Work Offline" from the file menu. However, the browser doesn't actually seem to show me cached versions of sites after I do this. Instead, every site — even sites I visited literal moments before switching to Offline mode — shows me the same "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can’t browse the Web" message, and invites me to "Try Again" to go online. But I don't want to go online. I want to see the version of the site that, I hope, at least if Firefox behaves as I'd expect it to be have, is already saved in my computer's cache. How can I achieve this?

Hi

This has only recently happened but PDF comments are no longer displaying in OWA365 when using Firefox. I can open the same email in Edge and they are displayed fine. Strangely, if I go to print the PDF within Firefox, I can see the comments.

I've set my Application to open PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader but this makes no difference. Is there anything else I can try?

How do i access Google OneDrive via Firefox so as to delete my sensitive personal info such as financial PDFs and personal pics, which involuntarily got copied to Google OneDrive thru an erroneous mouseClick?

See, when i keyword search online, it states that Google Drive can be accessed via one's browser for purposes of accessing/deleting one's files. (Frankly, i don't even know if OneDrive is GoogleDrive? Is it?

It's upsetting to me that Google has loads of my personal info, because over the years everyone has been saying "Use Gmail", and so i made that my main email due to convenience. But Google now has, for example, some of my personal home photo's and private financial PDFs, all because I absentmindedly clicked my mouse on a risky part of my email attachments, not realizing that would transfer the JPG (or PDF) to Google OneDrive.

I believe this started happening ever since they imposed the New Gmail without giving us a choice. Prior to that, when i used HTMLgmail, i don't recall this happening when i clicked attachments. With Simple HTML, if i clicked an attachment, i saw a photo. It didn't INVOLUNTARILY auto-transfer my pics/pdfs to Google OneDrive, which precisely reminds me of automatic faucets and towel-dispensers and light-shutters in public buildings, all of which are human-unfriendly.

My (custom) cursor has recently started being transparent when I hover over a YouTube video. On darker colors it's fine, but on white it's straight up invisible. I tried recording it, but the recording doesn't capture the transparency. This didn't happen before, I changed nothing.

For several months, Firefox has been unable to play videos from various different websites, including Netflix, Paramount Plus, Youtube, and others. I've turn off VPNS, reset my internet router countless times, cleared cache/cookies, flushed DNS, updated firefox, updated my video drivers, updated windows, disabled extensions (including adblock), opened Firefox in safemode, and reset hardware acceleration. This is not an issue on chrome or edge. Some of the error messages include: Netflix F7351, Paramount Plus 5000, and error code 102630. Youtube mostly doesn't work on livestreams, and says that my browser isn't compatible.

I have Windows 11, Firefox yahoo email. I must have clicked somewhere that consolidated all my email to the left in a narrow format. Can't locate where to correct it. Also had no luck attaching a screen shot. Next to the condensed email, is another column that is blank except for the white envelope. Is there a place where I can change the format? Thank you.
