I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and I find the following behavior mildley annoying, how can I change it?

I have a wide screen and usually use only half of it for one window. If I have Firefox on the left with a few tabs open and want to bring one of them to the right, I drag the tab to the right edge of my screen and it docks in to the right half of the screen.

So far so good - behavior is the same as for Chrome. Just that the new Firefox window on the right now is the last window in the Windows windows hierarchy (which shows if you press Alt + Tab). Meaning it will open behind all windows that are already opened and I have to bring it to the front by pressing Alt + Tab and clicking on the last window.

That is annoying and - it seems to me - a very unlogical thing to do. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? How can I switch that behavior such that the window opens on top of all others (as expected and as Chrome does).

Thanks.

I have had Firefox installed as a backup browser on Windows 10 Home Edition. Due to some strange and possibly non-resolvable issue, I keep having a problem with the Crash Reporter popping up stating that Firefox has crashed, even when Firefox has not been running *at all*. I updated to the latest version of Firefox; this resolved the problem for a few weeks but then Crash Reporter started popping up again. I might mention that when I do actually run Firefox, it comes up and runs fine, with no problem or crashing. I would like to know if there is some relatively simple way to disable the Crash Reporter itself from coming up.

Hi, with every new firefox update, the firefox icon no longer remains in the taskbar. Firefox now must be manually located in programs and then re-pinned to the taskbar (and/or to the start-menu or desktop if that's your preference).

Prior to this year the shortcuts always copied across with each update, but no longer. Is this a Firefox issue, or a Microsoft issue? I run Windows 10 on my PC.

Please help, Firefox will not start. Last night after 8:00 PM 7/24/24 it would not open. I get this Windows 10 error message; XUL runner: Error platform version 128.0.2 is Not compatible with 128.0 min 128.0 max

Mozilla updated on my computed. After the update, the forward and back arrows on my top toolbar only work when I am in the Mozilla settings page. If I am on any other site, in order to get off the page or move back to a previous page, I must go to my app taskbar, highlight the Mozilla icon whereby all open pages that have not been closed appear and locate the previous page I need to refer back to. This is very inconvenient and seriously effects the ease of accomplishing whatever app I am trying to enjoy or task I am attempting to accomplish. Was there are bug incorporated in today's update? How do I fix it???? Diane dmc44425

Hello I am constantly switching between Bookmarks and Tree Style Tab in the sidebar. The toolbar button "Show sidebars" is fine for switching between sidebar displayed or not, but switching between Bookmarks and Tree Style Tab is not so convenient : i have to go through the small menu and select either Bookmarks or Tree Style Tab, which is two clicks and a mouse move away, boring when you are constantly switching... Is there a way to add a second toolbar button to do this switching (or have two buttons, one for Bookmarks and one for Tree Style Tabs) ? Hope someone has a solution, thanks in advance. Alain Coste

Hello everyone!

I am a new Firefox user and knows a very little bit about it.  My issue is that i want toread jjk manga online using Firefox. But i am failed to find and read  jjk manga. Therefore i need your help to sort out this issue. 

I am looking forward for your valuable answers and solutions. Thanks in advance!!

I have a lot of tabs open, and I don't know which are responsible for the popups. Previously, I'd get 2-3 unexpected popups per day (that were not triggered by navigation in visible tabs), but since yesterday, every ~10min I'm getting 2 popups right after each other.

How do I find out what tab is triggering them?

Besides the annoyance, I find it worrying that firefox apparently "intends" to input login details into background tabs - if I had entered my master password previously, I wouldn't even notice that the password store had been accessed.

It would be really nice if the master password popup had a button to view the triggering tab (and perhaps highlight the fields that would have been filled after unlocking), but until that happens, I really need some way to locate the problematic tab(s)...

edit: changing the "fill usernames and passwords automatically" as well as "ask to save passwords" settings did not prevent the frequent popups from occurring. Even worse, while such a popup is open, firefox seems to be unable to load new pages in any tabs, and interactive applications (eg. google sheets) lose their connection until I close the popup...

I have auto fill password turned on, yet Firefox NEVER fills in the password, or my e-mail. Each and ever time I have to type it in, Firefox asks to save or update, I say yes, and password and e-mail are saved, yet the next I go to that site I have to type it in manually. I see the password and e-mail are saved accurately yet no auto-fill why?

I have always had two firefox browser windows open.

A number of months ago Firefox added a default option where it would auto open two Firefox browser screens.

They are always in in the wrong order in my task bar so I have to close one - as easier than positioning both of them.

I want to disable this 'feature' as I'm looking into a powershell way to open 3 Firefox windows on my new 4K in specific positions and this 4th window that I do Not open myself is causing problems.

I've searched thru about:config but can't seem to find the setting to turn this off??

Thanks!!

Hello,

For the past couple weeks, comments on WSJ articles and opinions have not shown up in Firefox. They show up just fine if I use Edge. I'm running Firefox 128.0.2 on a Windows 10 computer.

I run uBlock origin. I tried disabling it, but that has no effect on the problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a new windows laptop pc and trying to sync my information from this account to the firefox on the new laptop. I'm having a problem. I'm signed in on the old and the new but it will not sync to the new. What am I doing wrong? When I tried to sign Mozilla keeps telling me my pw is wrong! Huh? I'm signed in now. Is there a different pw for Firefox and Mozilla? I'm so confused!

I am on a Windows 10 Pro PC 64 Bit OS with 16GB of memory, running Bit Defender Total Security. I have used Firefox for many years and have never had a problem The browser is version 128.0.2 (64-bit). A few days ago in the application menu told me there was an update and said to install it because it couldn't check for updates. I downloaded and installed it three times now, but the problem still persists. My Bit Defender also keeps popping up messages telling me "firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to aus5.mozilla.org. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since the used certificate was issued for a different web address than the targeted one." I have had over 2000 of those messages in the past few days.

I have never had an issue like this before. Is there a glitch in the most recent update? What can I do to fix it outside of resetting my browser, which logs me out of my google accounts and causes me to not be able to get back into them.

Because of continuing problems with my Firefox browser I am wondering if it would be a good idea to just remove the program and install the latest version.

It is unresponsive a lot and very slow.

Thanks for your response.
