Up until the latest Firefox Nightly release, I could click on the '+' to open a new tab and immediately start typing the URL. Now, however, I am required to select a container type, something that is useless to me. Is there a way to disable this?

UPDATE: Never mind, I found the setting for Enable Container Tabs, which needs to be deselected. Why is this an opt-out?

Been with Firefox for around 17 years now and always thought that it was great. But now seeming to be having a lot of new problems. Hulu...impossible; and "they" even say that "Firefox" likely to blame. Skype...now really messed up; but still working fine with Edge, etc. So Mozi just got too big for yer britches and don't care about your old customers anymore...and just like so many other companies nowadays...Starbucks, ETC! The way its going, then soon probably Sayonara Firefox...RIP.

Hi,

I have a Mac with Sonoma. Somehow a while ago I ended up with Firefox ESR, which I was told that will not be supported after September.

I am a non-technical user. While I do have Safari and Chrome, I would prefer to continue using Firefox.

Could you please let me know the steps to execute to somehow switch from the ESR version to the current normal version without loosing settings, bookmarks or ending up with problems? Thanks in advance.

Tell me how to fix the problem I described. I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon (21.3) on my two Dell Latitude laptops (E6420 & E6430) Another question regarding the Firefox browser is how to contact a insecure web site manager that I have no telephone number for. I shouldn't end the sentence that way.

Can you help?

FF constantly develops problems logging into web pages; I will enter the correct u/n and password and click the login button, and it simply won't log in, it just refreshes the page and asks for my log in again. The same u/n and password work fine in other browsers. And nothing I've done has fixed it--uninstalling all my extensions, refreshing Firefox completely, clearing all cache data--nothing works.

FF also will develop problems with the lastpass plugin, where I also can't log into my vault via the plugin--the same thing happens. It will just refresh the log-in fields without logging in. I can only fix that one if I go to the Lastpass website and log in there--then suddenly the plugin works, until I log out of LP again.

Frankly, the problems with FF only seem to grow over time. I love the privacy focus and it being a Mozilla product. I hate how everything in it constantly breaks functionality.

Hi!

I have used Gmail in Firefox for years with no problem. But now I am unable to open links in Gmail. A new tab opens, but it is blank. The URL is something like this:

Also, the Google App Launcher and my Google Account Icon are not working either. I wonder if this is an issue with my desktop, which is 5 years old now. That's not too old, but sometimes the cursor freezes for a few seconds, which is annoying.

I have cleared my cache and restarted the desktop, but that didn't help. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Best, Naomi

When scrolling down I choose to read an article in a new window. When I open the new window, on the right side, a pop up window appears titled “Join the Conversation” or “More from Daily Express” blocking some of the article’s words. How can I stop this pop up window from appearing? Thanks.

Hello,

I have a Dell Windows 10 computer. I have three browsers on my compute: Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome. I have an account with Clickbank.com, but I am only able to log into Clickbank using a Firefox Privacy Windows. I am not able to log into Clickbank using Firefox, Edge, or Chrome, only in the Privacy Window. I do have Malwarebytes browser guard on my computer, but I have it turned off when trying to log into Clickbank.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thank you.

I just updated to the latest version of Firefox, and all of a sudden I have a new icon, Extensions, that looks like a puzzle piece, I cant seem to be able to remove it....at all.

I tried to Connect Dropbox to my desktop, but the page would not load.

Chrome has no problem loading the page.

Could someone please let me know if they have the same problem

I was wondering if it would be possible to make an extension or something that can change about:config values and provide an easy accessible menu to change specific settings that I need regularly.

For example, recently I am quite often setting network.http.redirection-limit to 0 because website keep redirecting me to login pages and that often helps preventing it. But having that set permanently is really annoying, so I have to visit about:config twice each time. Now if I could pin that setting in an easily accessible menu somewhere, that would be very neat.

When searching, I found that extensions could modify some browser settings but that seems to not include arbitrary about:config values.

Any tips and thoughts would be appreciated.

I just started getting this error on 13 August 2024. “XULRunner Error: Platform version ‘129.0.1’ is not compatible [etc.]”. Is there a solution? I can't even get in to see what version of FF I have.

I don't want to lose all my bookmarks if I reinstall Firefox. And I noticed in past similar problems, the prolem may persist with a newly loaded Firefox.

Hello, My Firefox would not open today.Gave XLU version error. I put a clean install as suggested by support. I think I got my bookmarks back. But my passwords are gone. This is a real drag!

My COPY context menu item is greyed out randomly. I guess it's not an issue of websites preventing copying. Happens while visiting various websites.

There's an advice to refresh Firefox, but I want to keep my passwords and avoid setting bookmarks again or resetting UI items displacement, any advice? Bugzilla threads contain some fixes, but as I have up-to-date version of Firefox, the bug is still randomly present.
