In Firefox, reopening the app pre-loads all the last-visited tabs, while Chromium opens a blank sreen and I have a button at the top right of the screen which allows me to select whichever of the last few sessions' tabs I want to have loaded. This is definitely more convenient, as I might be working on different things at different times and need different sites for that purpose. Can we learn from Chromium and make something similar? I think the best would be a combination of both, where Firefox preloads the last visit's tabs like it currently does, but remembering the previous sessions and with the button at the top right to allow picking one of them.

What do you think? And if that is going to take too long to implement, how could I program it for myself? Bear in mind that I'm not a programmer, so it won't be something that I will be able to do today or tomorrow, but I would like to hear some directions. And of course, it would be better if the developers like the idea and make it so for everybody :)

The situation is like this: I once reinstalled Edge, and then Firefox disappeared from the default browser options in Windows settings. No matter what I do, I can't make it appear again and set it as default browser. I want to ask if there's any solution, apart from reinstalling the browser,because I have a lot of data in the browser and I'm afraid backing it up and transferring it won't be convenient.

Seems, in the past, mickeysofty and others would research how users use the product and make it easy. Not anymore. All you guys have said the user needs to figure out how we want you to use it. Nothing but one way to get there. It's their way and no other.

This started happening in the last couple of days. When I opened a new tab the cursor automatically went to the address bar and I immediately started typing. Now I immediately start typing out of habit and look up and see that nothing happened because the cursor isn't in the address bar. I have to click on the address bar to start typing now. I tried to find a solution to this and couldn't. I have no idea why it changed. thank you

Good morning.


Long time regular user here. Why have the often used minimize, maximize and close options in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox for Linux been removed? I have seen numerous posts in online chat sessions complaining about the same problem? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated and I hope this issue is resolved quickly.

Firefox doesn't load a specific website: Amazon.fr

Other pages from Amazon (Amazon.com, Amazon.de .be . nl) have no problems. I can only access this page by cold starting my Mac. Once and only once! After that, the problem is there...

Also remove all data (settings / private / cookies / all data) doesn't solve the problem.

Info: Mac: Mac Sequoia Version 15.1.1 (24B91) Firefox: 133.0.3 (aarch64)

With other browsers (Chrome, Safari) there isn't any problem. In older versions of Firefox, there wasn't any problem.

In Settings -> General -> Files and Applications -> Applications I have set "Portable Document Format (PDF)" to "Open in Firefox".

Opening the PDF on http://www.spectronicdevices.com/pdf/TCD1205D.pdf displays that exact link in the URL bar and I can read the PDF directly in Firefox. As far as I can tell, the file is not saved on disk. Opening https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/download/32192/TOSHIBA/TCD1205D.html and entering the 5-digit code opens a new tab that also allows me to read the PDF in Firefox, but the URL bar shows "file:///C:/Users/N/AppData/Local/Temp/TCD1205D.PDF". The file is saved in my temp folder.

How can I configure Firefox to never save PDF and XML files to disk?

I am using Firefox 130.0.1 on Windows 11.

It seems like a pretty normal request. Yet if I paste that URL into a firefox tab monitored by devtools, it is not recorded. In the network tab, the request has a line in the history, but when I click on the line for more details, all I get is "No headers for this request" in the Headers tab, "No response data available for this request" in the response tab, etc.. All of the tabs are blank. I tried disabling the cache, and still I get the same thing. Why doesn't devtools record this request?
