Firefox Community Forum

Updated Firefox and all my bookmarks are gone. I tried to follow the directions but could not figure out how to get the bookmarks restored. Please help with simple instructions.

Thank you, Joe jmortontn@gmail.com

My wsj.com suscription loads the main screen, then for an individual article briefly shows some of the content before dissapearing and reporting "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

Using latest Firefox in updated Windows 10.

No similar problems with other sites.

I like to prune my browser history manually to keep things I might need to get back to in the near future, but don't want to clog up my bookmarks with, and get rid of the rest. As of version 133, this has been made a lot more difficult, unless I'm missing an option somewhere. - In Settings, there's only the "all or nothing" approach for browser history, no way to be selective. (You can be selective when deleting cookies, but not history.) - In the History sidebar, where I used to do this, you can group by date or site. I used both: Group by site to avoid deleting the recent stuff I want to keep, and group by date to delete old things I no longer need (anything over a week old). It's no longer possible to delete e.g. everything from the gmail domain, or everything from October. I have to delete each. and. every. site. individually. For Gmail, for example, this means roughly a gajillion lines per visit. - In the sidebar, the keyboard Delete button no longer works either. I have to manually click the trash can icon, wait for it to vanish, click the next one...

Is the option to edit this efficiently completely gone, or am I missing something?

All of my desktop bookmarks are on mobile, but after resetting my password they won't sync back to my desktop. I can't even access them from my desktop, despite browsing data still being clearly accessible. I have 10 years of bookmarks on my mobile device that for whatever reason now will not transfer to my desktop firefox no matter what I try. Since there's no way to manually export to xml on mobile I have no way of accessing these and I am at risk of losing 10 years of bookmarks, many of which are vital to the work I do.

I want AI to ALWAYS open when opening the sidepanel. That's why you have a side panel... So how the fuck do I STOP Firefox from always opening Bookmarks when the sidepanel is opened?

And No, it doesn't remember last saved choice.

And please fix the fucking scaling problem with AI making users manually press UP ARROW to send the message instead of ENTER when the sidepanel is below 40% of the fucking screen. This is highly fucking annoying!

This new SIDEBAR that has appeared this morning. It has taken me an hour of my life to get rid of it. I am so exercised I decided to tell you how annoyed I am that it appeared with no simple way to get rid of it. Obviously designed by someone who has never tried working on a small laptop screen where every inch of visual real-estate is valuable.

Fortunately your support site is so full of other people complaining it had a solution that worked for me. I had already tried myself what the support site described as te recommended method then I discovered the "about:config" option and that has removed it. Never to be seen again I hope.

Hello

I use Firefox 132.0.1 under Fedora 14 Linux. Whenever I click an urls in another application (e.g. Libreoffice, Keepass...) a new tab is opened in Firefox (according to Firefox's settings), but Firefox itself does not pop up in the foreground, it remains in the background. I highly appreciate the setting 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. But FF only comes to foreground in case I deactivate 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. How can I prevent FF to stay in the background in case 'open links in tabs instead of new windows' is enabled?

Thank you in advance

Dzień dobry. Za każdym razem, jak zamknę przeglądarkę moje konto zostaje rozłączone. Za każdym razem muszę się na nowo logować. Dzieje się tak od kilku dni. Jak to naprawić? Pozdrawiam Wojciech

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble with/after installing Firefox ESR.

I'm using the installer from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/128.5.1esr/win64/en-US/

The behavior that I am seeing is that after running the installer, although it seems that there is no error, the process goes through without issues, there is no executable for the app itself in the folder. The shortcut that is created on Desktop is also not linked to an executable that works.

Have you encountered this before? If so, do you have any ideas or tips on how I can manage it? Or, if you have any information that I am missing, please let me know.

Thanks.

My gmail mail account does not pull up on firefox ,works on Microsoft Chrome Brave . 3 days and counting . This the 2nd time I lost the ability to have something work. The last thing last week was my Metamask Wallet was not loading I had to reinstall it.Thanks Stephen Machlica

12/1/2024 - Hello, I have a Lenovo desktop computer with windows 10; & I was having a problem today getting into firefox, after they did an onscreen update, while I was on the computer this morning...I then installed it again by accident by hitting the 2 firefox apps that were located in the start menu (without uninstalling the previous version from 11/3/2024)...& then I noticed that none of the multiple bookmarks showed up...So then I contacted AOL remote support to help me uninstall both prior versions; & then reinstall firefox; & it still did not sync the bookmarks...So now I just tried again to sync the bookmarks through the Mozilla website & they still did not show up...Also I am now unable to browse with firefox...It only lets me do a google search, even though I selected the firefox app as the default web browser...Please advise me what to do...Thanks, Ron Bruno

My hotmail Email page stopped opening yesterday morning. I can open the Live.com page on my Android phone and Safari. I Don't like Safari, and I want to be on Firefox on my desktop.
