Firefox Community Forum

I am asking for this to be FIXED!!! I have ALWAYS had "Delete browser history opon close" set. However, now this latest update DISREGARDS MY SETTING and KEEPS my browser's history (shows in history tab now) ! I am OUTRAGED and ready to end my use of Firefox! So many of the recent updates IGNORE HOW and WHY we use Firefox.

I've used the community here and I get 4 year old answers, some of which do not fir the current settings lists, those do not help. I have tried everything and the only thing that works is to force the new tab by right clicking and forcing open in new tab.

For past few weeks, Whenever I try to update FFX on windows 11, it fails. It takes me to another screen and tells me to download Firefox. When I try to download it , it aborts with this message.

"download.mozilla.org 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."

To download Firefox with new version I have to use another browser but no choice. Then with new version of Firefox, I have faced the same issue of update and used same approach to update firefox to a newer version.

This error appears for some google sites as well but the same occurring for firefox download site itself is not understood.

I have a Firefox icon on my Windows11 desktop, Start, and one on the taskbar. If I click one either the Firefox icon on the desktop or Start I will get another icon on the task bar and I can do this over and over on my personal desktop getting many Firefox icons.

I just purchased a new Dell Windows11 desktop and have installed Firefox. I set it up just like my personal desktop and have icons on the desktop, Start, and taskbar but every time I click the Firefox desktop or Start icon I don't get a separate icon in the taskbar but they pile up behind the original Firefox on the taskbar. If the cursor hovers over the Firefox icon then I can see the multiple Firefox homepages that I generated.

I have searched for an answer to this problem but have been unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue. Firefox has been my one and only browser for many years and I love it 99% of the time, just not this one time. :-) Thank you in advance. Chuck Hall

Yet again Mozilla have decided that yellow folder icons are not needed and have amended the code so user chrome files no longer work. Is there a new way to return the folder icons to yellow or are we stuck with the black icons with a white frame?

Sometimes when I sign in on Microsoft Outlook's email portal - a multistep process requiring authentication on one's phone - it says: "Hang on a minute while we sign you out" and then boots me, forcing me to sign in again. For awhile this was happening only occasionally, and the workaround was to delete all cookies for Microsoft online and Office. But now this is happening more frequently, and sometimes it happens immediately after deleting the cookies. In effect, Outlook on Firefox creates cookies that then prevent it from working. And it doesn't matter whether you say yes or no to "Stay signed in?" at the end of the sign-in process.

I reached out to Microsoft tech support, and they basically said this is a Firefox issue because it doesn't happen on Chrome or Edge.

Anyone else encounter this?

A new "task bar" has appeared at the bottom of my Firefox pages. How do I permanently delete it?

I have attached an image of it to this message.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

I recently updated Firefox to the latest version on Windows 11, and since then the browser keeps freezing randomly while browsing. Sometimes it becomes unresponsive when multiple tabs are open, and I have to force close it.

For example, yesterday I was checking a food site with the Dunkin Donuts Menu, and the browser completely froze when I tried switching between tabs. I already tried clearing cache, disabling extensions, and even refreshing Firefox, but the issue still comes back.

Has anyone else experienced this problem after the recent update? Any guidance on what else I can try would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Exactly what the title suggests, there is no obvious way to locate where the file is installed at all. There's no option when you right click, there's no option in the settings, there's no option in system settings. I shouldn't need to uninstall firefox and reinstall it to get the f***ing file location.

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there is any support team or moderators who are in charge of the Recommended stories on the Firefox New Tab now that Pocket support has ended?

Is there any guidance or point of contact for websites featuring (or wanting to feature) in the Recommended section - like with Google Discover or Apple News?

Thanks so much!

Hi After browsing a particular web site the Firefox browser froze with a single search control on the page and all items frozen. Tried to fix it through settings but no response. See attached screenshot. Refreshed Firefox from Control panel->Programs and Features->Uninstall->Refresh Firefox. This reset Firefox and fixed the problem however the Firefox browser lost several settings and add-ons which I had to manually fix. Glad it is mostly all working again!

уже второй раз браузер закрывается и при новом открытии все закреплённые вкладки исчезают, из-за этого уже думаю поменять браузер, потому что восстановить даже из бекапа не получается

Firefox is supposed to be replacing copy without site tracking with copy clean link however the new Firefox download has copy clean Link greyed out!!

I will continue to dismiss the update until there's no longer an option for me to do so at which time I will just give up using Firefox and try using a different browser.

When I hover the cursor over the Firefox icon all my open windows appear but they no longer shrink to fit the screen. Since the thumbnails don't shrink, the last windows opened disappear off the edge of the screen and I can't find a way to drag them back into view. In the past if I opened too many thumbnails they used to shrink, then turn into a list. I can't find anything in settings to fix this. Please help.
