Firefox Community Forum

Unsure which 'topic' deletion applies to. All of a sudden I am unable to add or delete from my bookmarks and I think I may not be able to delete anything anywhere else either. Why has this occurred, suddenly, and how can I fix it without hiring an IT pro? I have been using Firefox as a browser for over twenty years and this has never happened before. I am using Windows 10 and Firefox 146.0.1. Thanks, James.

I've started using the new PWA feature in Firefox. Some of the websites I've installed show a generic globe from 4 black lines icon. I am assuming because the favicon is not available or something.

I've changed the shortcut icon by going into the Windows properties dialog. It does change the icon on the taskbar while the PWA is closed, but as soon as I open it, it reverts the globe icon.

Is there a way I can manually change the icon the PWA is using?

Something called "safe space" just showed up in my firefox browser... I didn't want it, didn't ask for it!! PLEASE tell me HOW to get rid of it.... PLEASE!!!

How do I remove the pop up blocker on Firefox for certain websites? I am doing an online course and each introduction for each chapter has a short video that pops up but as soon as that happens Firefox sends a "Critical error" message then the video stops so I thinks that's happening because pop up blocker is turned on and I just dont know how to turn pop up blocker off for specific websites only like this one I am using for my study course. How can I turn the pop up blocker just for this one website so that this doesn't keep happening?

You guys keep hijacking my browser and stopping all my work on a near weekly basis. Shutting down my ability to work on projects and stopping my browser from functioning in the middle of use. I can't even pay bills without you guys interrupting my browser with your bullcrap.

This is unacceptable. I've gone through great lengths trying to stop you from hijacking my browser. I installed a policy generator and followed the instructions to put a policy in. I uninstalled Firefox's background updater tool. I disabled automatic updates in the settings to the best of my ability.

I've gone through everything I can think of trying to stop your forced updates. Its unethical what Mozilla is doing to its users. I even tried to lock policies with admin only authorizations but firefox couldn't read the file anymore when I did that. I did confirm today that the policy file was still working, when Firefox ignored it and shut down my browser till I restarted it. I confirmed that Firefox is blatently ignoring policies.

I just checked and Background Maintnence was installed again when I didn't want it. You're now installing software against my will too? What the hell is going on.

Using your browser as my default and going to https://bracingviews.substack.com/p/yes-its-about-the-oil; https://jonathancook.substack.com/p/western-elites-fear-a-globalised and https://georgehazim.substack.com/p/murdochs-australian-manufacturing, regular sites where I comment often, since Thursday there's no visible button to post my comment. Never encountered that before.

Using another browser, I can comment in Jonathan Cook and George Hazim's Blog but not in Bracing Views

Firefox 146.0.1 (aarch64) macOS 26.2 (25C56) on M2 Pro

Hello.

I'm dealing with a strange issue that began with Firefox 146.0 and continues with 146.0.1. I previously blocked categories I do not care about such as Parenting, Cooking, and others. When doing so, for some reason some of my followed topics including Sports, NFL and NHL no longer appear along with the rest of the topics I've followed. (Please notice only followed sports-related topics disappeared...)

Checking the settings for Firefox Home shows no blocked topics (even those I have explicitly blocked), and checking what I can think to think via about:config shows me nothing I can edit to get my desired topics back.

So, I'm not sure what to edit to get my missing topics back. If they were blocked because of some bug, i cannot see blocked topics in the Firefox Home settings, so I cannot unblock them if that's what would need to be done. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to resolve it or are you aware of some BugZilla or GitHub issue I can watch for this one?

Any help will be certainly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

When using any dark Firefox theme on ChromeOS, the contextual menu text and background are both dark. This means there is little to no contrast, and so the text is very difficult to read.

Unfortunately, the ChromeOS screenshot tool doesn't work on Linux apps, and so I'm unable to share a screenshot. Tested using several dark themes, including the default -- behaviour was consistent in all.

Firefox installed using the official package through the built-in ChromeOS Linux VM "crostini". Issue has been reported by other users on other platforms in the past, so this seems to be a long-standing bug.

Hello

I want to add shortcuts that appear when I open a new tab. The instructions say to go to the site you want to add, then click on the 3 dots and choose add your shortcut. I don't see the three dots to click on, just the 3 lines. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been having an odd issue with my cursor for a few weeks, even after updating to the currently most recent version (146.0.1) running on MacOS Sonoma. After I play a video, on YouTube or a streaming service like HBOMax, the video information bar at the bottom of the screen disappears. Previously, the cursor would disappear with it. Now it doesn't. Once the video bar disappears, I have to move the non-disappeared cursor once again, which brings back the video bar, and the cursor then disappears with the video bar on the second effort.

It's a minor issue, but is quite annoying, particularly considering this did not used to be the case over the last 10+ years of my Firefox usage. I'm hoping someone has fix, and if not, dev team can take note of this to be addressed in future versions.

Firefox private browsing keeps pinning to taskbar. I keep "unpinning" it, and it re-appears. I use multiple desktops, and when I change desktops it re-appears.

I went into browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled, and set it to false, and yet this still happens. Also tried browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled, and setting it to false.

Firefox version 146.0.1 (64-bit).

This never happened before a recent update, but I'm not sure which one.

Thanks.

I did the required up date a few days ago, and completely lost my Bookmarks....both on my toolbar and the "other Bookmarks"....

I have always used Firefox as my default, but now am at a loss, and am having to use Chrome. I have Windows 11 installed, so I am totally confused and shocked that this has happened to me.
