I am, for the last two to three weeks sufferering limited access to my Barclays online banking if I use Firefox. My bank eventually told me to use an alternate, more popular browser to access it, which I was loathe to do but it worked first time! This is not the first time Firefox has had these issues either. What are you doing about it?

Dropbox has a feature for creating and saving GoogleDocs within Dropbox folders. This feature can be accessed via the Dropbox website interface (e.g. "Create->Document->Google Docs". This works well when using Chrome and Safari browsers, but I cannot get it to work with Firefox. When I create or try to edit an existing GoogleDoc via the Dropbox website, I am prompted to sign into my Google account, however clicking "Sign in" only refreshes the page, so the Google Doc cannot be loaded.
I have tried the following fixes: - Turned off "Enhanced tracking protection" for dropbox.com (via the shield icon to the left of the address bar). - Allow all cookies and trackers (Firefox preferences -> Enhanced tracking protection -> unchecked cookies and tracking). - Allowed cookies and site data from dropbox.com and google.com (Firefox preferences -> Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Exceptions).
Advice would be welcome, thank you!

tell me whether i can find a window i closed today having multiple tabs, using "history" and recently closed tabs/windows (both). i especially want to be able to restore the tab for Institute for the Study of War and its companions. i hope you are warm and rested.
to do my regular research, i have lost three or four (or more) windows with multiple tabs, as a result of my reorganizing tabs. i think of each window with one of its tabs, so these would be, "Emma Loop" (which includes all federal court districts tabs and related info); "Kyle Griffin" (which includes various journalist/news tabs); "emptywheel" (which includes various journalist/news tabs); and other such similar windows whose name ID i don't remember.
restore scares me because it will apply to bookmarks.
i recently began migrating from twitter to mastadon, and wanted to add my regular tabs to mastadon. i moved tabs to keep track, but it seems the tab's parent windows disappeared. i cannot be more clear, because i had a total of about 15 windows with multiple tabs EACH. i regularly exited the program to install updates and because of my settings, all the windows/tabs were saved correctly. this is a great feature.
it takes time to create a window with multiple tabs, and i don't have much of a brain, so it's hard for me to learn new stuff. maybe we can work together to clarify what i need. i just want my "lost" windows/tabs to return to the others so i can continue going forward. i blame this guy - the "new twitter owner" - who has even made changes to UKRAINIANS' account performances. thank you.

I am running Firefox 107.0.1 (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron i7 10th gen with 12 GB RAM. Windows Edition Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 Installed on 11/1/2022 OS build 22621.819 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22636.1000.0
Recently have had new issue with websites, like the NYTimes, which run live video embedded in the site. The entire screen will go black and cannot be retrieved. But the system is not down, I can toggle to another application, and then when I go back to the Firefox, I can "save" it by quickly selecting a different tab. If I wait a few seconds, however, the offending tab will crash again. The other symptom is that after this happens, the entire screen in any application seems to be unstable, with transient fuzziness of the fonts, just a for a few seconds, whenever the focus of the screen is moved or changed.
This problem does not occur in "Troubleshoot Mode", but I have gone through all the recommended step by step eliminations of possible plug ins, extensions, Norton, firewalls, refreshes, start up cache clearing, cookie clearing, to no avail. Cannot find discussion of this problem in Support. I do not experience the problem if I run the offending website in Edge. Any suggestions most appreciated, txs!
I'd like directions on how to allow pop Ups.

Just the last month or so, when I preview an attachment then download it, I find that my Yahoo email session has been closed.
A recent Firefox update made it easy for me to re-open the mail session but it never returns to the email I had open at the time.
Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? And more importantly, how do I stop it happening?
I notice similar questions last year had no response

I have shortcuts to launch Firefox in two ways, one with no commands and one with the following command: -P "Personal" --no-remote This used to show two separate Firefox icons on the taskbar. Firefox windows opened in each profile would be grouped with the same profile and kept separate from other profiles. With the latest update I still have two icons, the Default profile has a Firefox icon and the 'Personal' profile has a private browsing icon. Even though there are no private windows open. According to latest updates, if I open private windows then they should be grouped with their own icon. However, whether I have Default or Personal profile windows open, Private windows are grouped with their standard browsing windows.
This is on Win 10, Firefox 107.0.1
Any ideas how to fix this? Ideally I would have the standard Firefox icon on both profiles then, to conform with the private window separation update, my private windows would be separated from the standard windows but also from different profiles.

1. I go to the login screen https://secure.nsandi.com/thc/policyenforcer/pages/loginB2C.jsf?chainingAction=true&MENU=true&forceLogin=true&q=54676c38-933e-46dd-90a7-7c8a5127a983&p=aa69b759-9e91-4f76-b9be-329d0f9685be&ts=1670588750&c=nsandi&e=nsisecure&rt=Safetynet&h=e4eb2ce3d2ca79deee6728fa3ba9fe55 which prompts me for my account details. 2. There's an "Accept cookies?" pop-up; I click reject all cookies. 3. I enter my login details. 4. There's an "Accept cookies?" pop-up; I click reject all cookies. 5. It takes me back to the login screen which prompts me for my account details. 6. I enter my login details. 7. I get a JSON error message {"error":"ERROR_DURING_DEVICE_REVOKE","errorDescription":"ERROR_DURING_DEVICE_REVOKE"} on what looks like a Firefox diagnostic screen; the "headers" tab shows this:

8. I click the refresh/reload button 9. There's an "Accept cookies?" pop-up; I click reject all cookies. 10. The "Add trusted device" screen lets me choose a phone number to receive a one-time password. 11. There's an "Accept cookies?" pop-up; I click reject all cookies. 12. I receive the one-time password via text and enter it. 13. There's an "Accept cookies?" pop-up and (beneath it) a "Securing your browser ... please wait..." screen, which eventually is replaced by the "Your accounts screen". 14. I click reject all cookies and FINALLY I'm able to view my nsandi.com account details !
So there seems to be two issues i. The need to enter my login details twice, and then reload the page on receiving JSON "ERROR_DURING_DEVICE_REVOKE" ii. The fact that every step along the way, I get the same "Accept cookies?" pop up - surely having told it my cookie preferences it shouldn't be asking again and again and again...
Because the login dialogue takes me to three different URLs: https://auth.nsandi.com https://secure.nsandi.com https://www.nsandi.com ... I wondered if Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" was interfering with communication between them (via the browser, during the login process). So I added all three to "Exceptions for enhanced tracking protection". But that didn't make any difference.
My work-around is to login using the Microsoft Edge browser. But it's a pain to having to remember to use my non-preferred/non-default browser for this one account.

About a month ago, I noticed that playing a youtube video in Firefox made my mouse pointer disappear. It is not limited to the page.tab, but all of Firefox, menus, tabs and window controls. When I move my mouse outside of Firefox, the pointer becomes visible. Move it back, and it disappears again.
The mouse functionality still exists inside Firefox, i.e. the on hover highlights all work as does clicking, but the pointer stays invisible.
If I switch from Wayland to X11, this does not happen.
Please put Wayland support back again or tell me how I might fix this. Thanks

Running FF 107.0.1 on Mac 10.15.7 and there is unexpected padding around each website I visit. I've disabled all browser extensions. I'm using the default theme. I've tried restarting Firefox. I've tried restarting the computer but the issues seems to persist. I do not see the same rendering behavior when loading these websites on Google Chrome. I'm including screenshots of what I'm seeing.

Using FIREFOX V. 107 on a Windows 10 desktop computer with 32 GB memory.
Dec 18, 2022 With Firefox running in the background while using other apps, they suddenly become unresponsive. I found I can fix this by going to Task Manager, clicking on Firefox then a dozen or more processe open. Clicking on and deleting the smallest one, about 3MB, gets me back up and running. This happens even with no add-ons.
THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH OLDER VERSIONS (V100 or before)
If you can't fix this, please make go back to a version which worked. The memory leaks/bloat are a disaster.
DON'T IGNORE THIS ISSUE. IT IS A DAMN NUISANCE !!!
Thanks.

I looked for info on "how to save a window". Googling got me to : https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/941808
a. That article is out of date. And, like so many, IT DOES NOT STATE TO WHAT VERSIONS OF FIREFOX IT APPLIES. That is nuissance, considering how often Firefox changes.
b. That article also states to right click and tab and use "Bookmark All Tabs". There is no such right click option. (ff v107.1)
Useless, out-of-date articles should not be archived when they become obsolete. Or, they should be archived with an indication that they no longer apply.
c. How do I save a window?
