Hello!

Is there a way to get the icons for Shortcuts on the New Tab page to update their image to show the pinned site's favicon, instead of the Firefox default icons, without manually updating all of them in the "Edit" menu for the icon?

It seems like they should update automatically, like your bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu do, when you visit the site.

I read another Discussion where they said to delete some favicon files in %AppData% > Roaming > Mozilla > Profiles , but those steps did not work for me.

Thanks!

Adjusting the volume of any sound or video player in Firefox also affects the browser's overall volume in the operating system, making it difficult to raise the volume without a sudden increase in volume. I've set 'media.volume_scale' to 0.1 as a temporary fix, but adjusting it frequently is a hassle. I've tested this on my laptop with Linux Mint, and the issue is there as well. A user on Discord referred to this as intended behaviour, but I find it inconsistent and impractical for Firefox to be the only software that behaves this way and would like to change it.

Here's an example.

Hi.

There is an online bank. After the each update of the Firefox Mozilla on Windows PC (once per month) the bank asks to verify the login via Email or SMS OTR (which is normal).

During one year long when the first OTR code comes via Email, it's been always unrecognized by the bank (says: Wrong code). But the 2nd code or sms code mostly works fine.

Any idea?

Thanks

On Debian 12 running XFCE the shutter function in the top right orner is missing. This is a option like close, minimize, maximize that allows Linux GUI to only see the title bar, so it is out of the way of other screen applications. It is represented by the caret.

I use Firefox in Linux and Windows. On Linux I can quickly and easily go to the last tab used by typing ctrl-tab (it even allows me to go to the 5 tabs used before the last one used).

How do I do this in Firefox on Windows? Nothing I've tried seems to work.

I'm attempting to migrate over to Firefox since Chrome has stopped supporting my ad-blocker of choice. However, I'm finding Firefox almost unusable due to the super annoying mute button that takes of half the tab. It's difficult for me to click on a tab without accidentally muting it. How can I turn off, hide, or disable the mute button (or even move it somewhere other than the tab)?

Why can't I sync computer bookmarks to iPhone? I can't get my iPhone to show up on list of connected devices. I've tried everything in Help. I have a Mozilla Account. Running 135.0.1

From the Firefox Start Page on my iPhone (running 18.3.1) . . . the menu in the bottom right hand corner does not give me the option to "Sync and Save Data". This is a roadblock for me! I'm not a computer genius but I'm not completely ignorant. I should be able to do this! https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-02-28-15-53-59-c3d764.png Help please!
