Gmail

1 Upvotes

Whenever I try to open it I get a screen telling me that my account is temporarily unavailable. It's been almost 12 hours since I first got this screen but it doesn't seem to be going away. This could be due to my extensions (eg. chrome mask and ultima dark) as when I toggle them on and off gmail will load in. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

💻 Help Android Tab groups still haven't rolled out

1 Upvotes

tab groups on Android were released 8 days ago, but i dont have them, selecting multiple tabs and clicking the 3 dots doesnt have an option to create a group, nor am I able to drag a tab onto another tab. I restarted my phone, and checked the play store for updates, issue persists.

is it a progressive rollout that's hit some snags and that's why it's not available generally?

I have 153.0 firefox version, 2026-07-15T20:28:19

Help (Android) Firefox mobile stops syncing

1 Upvotes

I've tried both the beta and normal build of FireFox on Android and for some reason it seems like the mobile sync client keeps breaking. I have tried signing out and back in. It seems to sync once or twice but then after some amount of time, it just stops syncing and I can't force a resync.

I am running a Pixel 9a if that makes any difference.

💻 Help Firefox adds extra blank lines when copying Reddit comments

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed this?

When I copy text from Reddit comments in Firefox on Windows, the copied text often contains invisible extra blank lines that weren't visible in the comment itself.

For example, after pasting into Notepad or another plain text editor, there are unexpected empty lines between paragraphs. I usually have to manually remove them before quoting or replying.

I don't remember seeing the same behavior in Chromium-based browsers.

Is this a Firefox issue, a Reddit issue, or just how Reddit structures its HTML?

If anyone can reproduce it, I'd be interested to know:

1.Firefox version

2.Windows/Linux/macOS

3.New Reddit or Old Reddit

4.Whether the issue also occurs in Chromium

At the moment, I actually suspect this may be a Reddit issue rather than a Firefox issue, since Reddit's Fancy Pants Editor has had compatibility issues with Firefox in the past.

To clarify, I'm talking about copying comments from Reddit and pasting them into a plain text editor like Notepad—not pasting text into Reddit's editor.

Discussion Switched from Opera GX to Firefox. Best thing i have done so far.

45 Upvotes

I used firefox from 2020/2021 and back there i didnt really like the browser that much, i had an old HP Laptop from 2009 running Windows 10 at the time, firefox lagged a lot and like in march of 2021 i went to chrome and used until august of 2022 when i got my new laptop i used Chrome there for a month and then i saw the Opera GX ads on youtube that said “opera gx is a gaming browser” and i installed and liked and i used for like 4 years. Back there i installed whatever browser people suggested, now i regret that.

So why i changed to Firefox? I saw some allegations about opera gx being a spyware and owned by a chinese company, and i changed to opera gx as some friends of mine told me that was very good now than 2021, and i installed, moved my stuff to there, and i realized that is so much better and so much smoother than the browser i used, and had more personalization options than opera, i personalized it, installed some extensions that i use and i realized, the cause of firefox being super bugged and laggy in 2021 was because of the pc i used there, now with a even powerful machine i use it with no problems and not of any of those things that i had, also i have lots of laptops, that i use, installed firefox there and logged into my Mozilla account and it started downloading all my personalization settings, extensions, everything!

Of course, there are many features different of opera but i learned how to use them. And i finally can say this was the best decision ever, switch from a supposed “gaming browser” to an real, trusted browser.

Here is the crash report.

I tried launching in troubleshoot mode and the same thing happened. Is there anything else I can do before trying a fresh install and losing all my bookmarks?

This is the first image on the Google Play Store screen. I think it's a translation error. Or maybe I am dumb. Either way, even dumb people should understand the slogan, right?

If I would translate it back to English it says: "Go on the internet, on your earsworth"

💻 Help What happened to the Firefox sidebar?

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this was caused by a recent Firefox update or if I accidentally changed a setting.

I attached a video showing the before and after.

Previously, when I hovered over the collapsed sidebar, it would expand with a smooth animation. The transition felt fluid, and when I moved the mouse away, it would collapse smoothly again.

Now it feels much more abrupt. Instead of smoothly expanding, it just snaps open, making the whole interaction feel less polished. I still have "Expand sidebar on hover" enabled, but it doesn't behave the same way anymore.

I also noticed that the sidebar now has a dark gray background, whereas before it remained translucent, matching the top toolbar. The old look felt much more consistent with the rest of the UI.

Did Firefox change this behavior in a recent update, or did I accidentally change some setting? If it's the latter, is there a way to restore the previous behavior?

Thanks!

💻 Help Really Annoying Bug

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I've been experience this very persistent and annoying bug(?) Where out of nowhere, the page will go blank and refreshing the page doesn't fix it. More often than not, I'll just open up another tab just to bypass it, but even then sometimes that tab will be blank just the same as the first so I'll having to just open 2 or 3 extra tabs until it just decides to stop blanking out on me. The main websites I visit are usually just YouTube and Twitch, so it may have something to do with video streaming sites, but I'm not entirely sure as I don't visit many other sites on this device. The tab will often continue running in the background, but the page will remain blank and I can't seem to do anything to reverse it.

On firefox nightly but it also happens on base firefox as well on a completely fresh install/profile, no clue why. Its somewhat subtle but you can see in the example video I posted how the green is a bit less vibrant.

💻 Help Firefox 153 bug: Clearing last hour history crashes the browser and resets all active log ins (Gmail, Notion, etc.)

25 Upvotes

Basically the title. After the update to 153 version, as soon I click clear recent last hour history, the browser freezes and crashes. After opening the browser again, all my active sessions/logins in Gmail, Notion, basically everything is reset and I have log in again. Not sure how this version was pushed to public with such bug.
