Firefox Community Forum

Please help me. Firefox disappears when I open a second app on top of it (i.e. MS Word or Mac Mail). Full screen is not selected. If I put Firefox in split screen (which is not what I want), there is no option to open a second app in other half of screen.

I'm using MacOS Ventura 13.7.4

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS.

I was trying to screenshot an example of direct political censorship by Google on their Gemini LLMAI app. I was only able to screenshot the current active window using the built-in screenshot tool. I presume whatever they're doing would work on any site. I can scroll, but I can only take a screenshot the size of the current view window.

I searched help and then restarted in safe mode (which I'm still in right now) and tried again. There was no difference.

If I highlight text on any page in Firefox 136.0, and then ask Gemini to "Explain this", Gemini opens in the Sidebar (I have selected the RHS of the screen for the sidebar), but my selected text is not entered into Gemini, and nothing happens. If I try this again while the sidebar is open, I get the message "Something went wrong, try reloading this page" Reloading the page doesn't help.

Начиная где-то с 06.03.2025 возникла проблема, что не отображается YouTube-плеер на странице при запуске любого видео. Вместо этого белый фон. Есть расширения по блокировки рекламы. И есть нюанс. Сначала отключаю все блокировщики, страница YouTube обновляется, плеер появляется и всё работает. При запуске другого видео, плеер снова пропадает, появляется белый фон. Запускаю один из блокировщиков рекламы, страница обновляется, плеер снова запускается и работает без проблем.

Hi, folks. Just updated to 136.0 two days ago. After the update, I had to re-login to sites I use every day and normally don't log out of (personal home desktop, no one else uses it). I REALLY don't like this.

After logging back in to a few basic sites, I found that the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option was CHECKED (Settings > Privacy&Security > Cookies and Site Data). I've always kept that unchecked, but 136 apparently changed that for me without asking. I unchecked it and thought that'd solve the problem.

Nope; happening again today. In my Settings, that same option had been RE-CHECKED. (I'm assuming that's what's causing the problem.)

Any ideas on how to stop Firefox from logging out of everything? (Some passwords behind my Primary Password are being remembered, but logins for things like my Google account, Gmail, newspaper subscriptions, Amazon, Bluesky, etc. have to be re-entered every time.)

Thanks in advance. Kinda tearing my hair out.

Windows 11 Home, Firefox 136.0.

A opção nas configurações do browser "Abrir abas e janelas anteriores" está ativa, deixo várias abas abertas, mas quando fecho e abro novamente, as abas somem. Não sei se pode ser um problema externo, do computador, mas seria interessante se essa opção funcionasse como deveria.

All of a sudden my Apple laptop Firefox is responding VERY slowly. It takes about 10 seconds from hitting enter to any screen response. I've tried it with and without my VPN on, and there's been no changes to my Avast security software (that I know of). I've reviewed the settings/preferences without any clue about what is happening and what I could do to minimize it. I've run a speed check which resulted in 287 down and 190 up, so it's definitely NT my network.

Firefox, as of less than an hour ago, is no longer saving tabs on close. This was also proceeded (After the first instance of this happening) by Firefox enabling the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" setting (Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data) all on its own (Also did this on my laptop a day or 2 ago). I have since uninstalled & reinstalled it almost 5x. Doesn't matter what settings I change. Doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not. It will not save them. Ever.

I have history set to not delete anything. I have the most obvious setting enabled (Startup -> Open previous windows and tabs). It still doesn't save them. Even after the reinstalls.

I have not changed my settings in over a month. The only difference between months ago, and now, is browser updates, and an extension I installed but didn't even have Enabled.

Including the issue with the browser not defaulting to the last folder that was downloaded into with the "Ask where to download" setting enabled. But that's an inconvenience. It's not making the browser virtually unusable like not having my tabs saved.

Since FF35, using linux with e26wm, the title bar is gone. Screen seems to be stuck in full setting - F11 just shows/hides top right min/max/exit toggles. Min/max doesn't work. Going to customize toolbars, title bar option is there and checked but the option itself looks like it is grayed out (lighter color). Screen cannot be resized. I am used to a menu accessed via rt. click on the title bar but that is gone (I do have access to that menu with combo alt/rt-clk anywhere on screen - see below). That menu had a shade option (window shade like) which I used extensively but thats gone. If I click alt-rt click anywhere on the screen, I can get my missing control menu back without the shade option but with a borderless option checked which cannot be changed. I am fully aware that linux + E26 is kinda out there but have been all over my settings (includes border settings which firefox ignores). I can't find any permission settings on config/js/pref files which may be a cause. Thing is, mozilla thunderbird's screens work and title bar is in place with desired menu, etc. as do all other apps except ms edge, which leads me to feel it is a firefox setting somewhere and I believe it is the side thingy that everyone seems to love in chromium/chrome might be the cause - the tabs on top option which I don't have an interest in. Sorry for the length here but I'm at my wits end and all a google search offers (here as well) is to go customize etc. etc. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - been using FF on linux since day 1 without any problems I couldn't figure out till now.

Using Firefox 136.0 and previous vers. Some web pages are displayed in portrait mode. (or seem to be) In Firefox these pages are??? not right. If I copy and paste url to MS Edge the page displays properly even although the presentation is still in portrait mode (or seems to be). i.e. the data displayed on the page does not go out to the edges of the screen but sits in the middle in portrait mode for example see: https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

Attached images show Firefox and MS Edge screen grabs and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page which displays correctly in Landscape mode (or seems to)

The Discord website does not play embedded video files (mov, mp4, etc). This is an issue specific to Firefox, and is not present in other browsers such as Chrome. This issue is only for video files and not embeds from sites such as Youtube or Twitter/X. Furthermore, when downloading these videos, they play solely the audio and not the video part of it. This is not an issue with any other downloaded video. I have tried clearing my cache and restarting Firefox, as well as disabling my extensions. None of which has worked.

When I restart the system after a refresh or after shutting down, Mozilla takes FOREVER to connect/load webpages. (I can get on-line immediately after a reboot using Chrome, however). It is extremely frustrating as I have to leave the system on a webpage all day long and over-night so as not to have to go through the hassle of trying to get it to connect after an absence. Even when Mozilla requests I re-start for an update, it still takes forever. what is causing this and how can I fix it? Be advised, I'm not a computer whizz so please explain in non-tech talk. Thank you, Joe
