Firefox Community Forum

I updated to version 133 today and was confronted with the vertical tab bar. I did not ask for this or want it, and now I can't get rid of the side bar, in fact I seem to have just made it worse / wider. How can I get rid of this (and block it) It is just taling up space on my screen. Please help.

Hello, Why is there no option to remove this anywhere? I checked in the normal settings too. I both browsed and searched for it.

This looks so stupid and distracting.

Best regards, Sebastian

I often receive a 403 error when using Firefox Every time, before this happens, I get the unsafe website warning and then the 403 error when I continue anyway

I am using the latest version at the time of writing These errors only occur on my desktop PC I have tried to replicate this issue on both my phone (Android) and another laptop(Windows 11) but all the websites work normally on there.

I have tried the following, none of which have any effect:

• Clearing cookies
• using Troubleshoot mode
• Restarting
• Changing Useragent
• Using "Forget about this site"

The following do fix the issue

• Using a VPN
• Using Google Chrome
• Running Firefox in another profile

Going through the privacy and security tab and reseting all the settings sometimes works but only temporarily

The following are a few websites where the issue occurs

1. https://kdice.com/
2. https://latinitium.com/
3. https://theysaidso.com/
4. https://opensource.org/
5. httpe://obsidian.rocks/

I keep experiencing this problem with different websites: Safari works, Firefox doesn't.

Sample: I turned out the enhanced tracking protection, Privacy is set to Standard for

https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/default.aspx

I entered valid license numbers (230880, 239798). Firefox displays NOTHING, no error message. Safari displays the relevant info.

Why is this and what should I do if I want to continue using Firefox? Thanks.

My search bar is taking up the entire screen when I try to interact with it. When I go to search stuff, then it returns to the normal style. Then, when I try to interact with the page I'm on, it absorbs the screen.

I believe there is a memory leak (or memory growth) bug in Firefox 133.0 on Windows 10. It's site-specific. I am trying to login to my account at https://www.ssa.gov/, and it never actually gets to the login prompt. Using the Windows task manager, I can see the RAM usage keeps increasing, until it nears the 12 GB installed RAM capacity, at which time I kill the firefox process. I'd say this is a bug in ssa.gov, except the problem does not occur with the google chrome browser.

To provide further detail, I go to site https://www.ssa.gov/, and click on the "sign in" button. That takes me to the page where you choose the login method (id.me or login.gov) and I choose "id.me". It takes me to the "you are leaving Social Security's website " message, which is still on the ssa.gov website. At that point, firefox memory usage starts to increase, as shown in task manager. The browser never advances to the next page, but main memory usage keeps going up. This goes on for about 30 seconds before I have to kill the firefox process.

I cannot pin the extension to the toolbar. The extension is not shown in the puzzle icon dropdown, and it is not in the overflow. Please add an automatic pin to the toolbar when a new extension is added! How do I pin it now?

My usernames and passwords are both saved on firefox. On certain websites, like reddit, the option to autofill only appears when I click on the password box, not the username box, and it only fills out the password. This happens both on windows and android.

I've asked about this before but got no help Firefox is my browser of choice. Occasionally, I find in necessary to use Chrome.

The vast majority of time, when are both are active at the same time, one or both crash, like today. Firefox closed abruptly, then the crash report appeared. I have the crash report. Chrome froze up, and had to be shut down in Task Manager.

It only occurs in this scenario. Rarely does Firefox crash otherwise.

Can someone please advise where to go to get help?

When the latest version is released, if I continue browsing without pressing the update button, the process suddenly becomes slow or freezes until I restart the device. Why is this? There are no problems until the update arrives, but as soon as the update arrives, the device becomes unstable, and after the update, it works as if nothing happened.

In Firefox, and Firefox only, in every version for the last several months, I have found it impossible to get Firefox to allow websites to "remember this device", even when I check that option. Every day I log in to a website, for example Tmobile, and I have to get a code emailed to me. I check "remember this device so you won't need a code next time", but the next time I log in, the same thing happens. Over and over with many sites. This does not happen with any other browser, except Firefox. How do I get Firefox to allow me to save my info? I really don't want to use Chrome, Safari, Brave, or Edge, but I do not have this problem with any of them. Only Firefox. And yes, I've checked my settings, and everything I can see says Firefox should be saving this info.
