When I open Firefox on the desktop computer it automatically opens all of the tabs in bookmarks instead of just a singe page. How can I get it to stop opening all of the bookmarks automatically?

i restarted firefox, and on it's new tab when re-opening it offered the "review checker", so i clicked the "try on amazon" I don't get the icon in my search bar. is it an add-on/extension that i can just search for in the google store even though it's in beta?

Lorsque je quitte le plein écran sur firefox la partie réduite se met systématiquement en haut à gauche au lieu de retrouver la place que je lui avait donné auparavant. Comment revenir à un état entérieur où ça fonctionnait parfaitement ?

When on a web page or e-mail I regularly get a spinning multi colored ball which stops/interrupts the loading of the page. It will last for 3/4/5 seconds and then stop. What's up ??

When on google.com, clicking the search engine gives the error "Uncaught Storage mechanism: Quota exceeded", of which this does not occur on other browsers.

Find that at each update, the Startpage search engine is re-installed WITHOUT my permission. I understand startpage can be defined as a PUP, and I don't trust it. The most aggravating thing is that installing add-ons and extentions without users' permission is unconscionable.

Would like to know if there is any way I can block the reinstallation of this at each update.

Thanks.

Hello.

I am a linux user.

I updated firefox yesterday. I am using several profiles for my convienience, and exactly one (1) lost its ability to create new history, all the saved passwords, and all the plugin data. Along with the message "another application is using firefox file", which sadly give no useful details about anything.

I have done a backup of that profile, and poked a bit at it ; all files seem here and are apparently correct. In particular, login.json is not corrupted, and I could add new passwords, which would appear in that file, but the 100+ passwords that I had before are invisible

I have tried to see if firefox give any useful logs, but found none both on command line and in journalctl. Do you know how/where to find out what firefox don't like in the profile files ?

I would *very much* like to not lose my passwords and login so it's my main area of concern.

Hi,

My laptop had broken and I had to reinstall Windows. All of my files had been lost on the C drive, including Firefox bookmarks. Sadly there weren't any backup json files anywhere else. Is there a way to recover those bookmarks somehow?

Thank you, János

How to I delete three Fire Fox icons found in Apps? Two show up in the taskbar tray and I am constantly being asked if Fire Fox should be my Default.

Also, refreshing Fire Fox changed all my options. For example, when Fire Fox opened, there were two rows of internet choices from "mail" to "dictionary"; now, a plain white screen.

I'm about to give up on Fire Fox and follow the herd with Microsoft forever! It seems every time Microsoft has an "update", two things happen: I have problems with Fire Fox and my phone rings off from folks I've never done business with; any connection?

Thanks in advance for your help. Computers are a necessary evil!

Recently Firefox has been randomly crashing the past 3 weeks multiple times, Is anyone else having this odd issue ? I'll be watching a stream or youtube video and bam out of no where the Browser goes black for like 20 or 30 seconds then crashes. I sent in about 3 crash reports and wondering if the Firefox team is aware of this issue.

All of a sudden, when I'm on eBay, a lot of the hot links, embedded on an eBay "for sale" item don't work. Sometimes, when I (repeatedly) hit "Reload Current Page", they start working, or become "hot", as they should be. I wrote eBay, but no response. I don't know, if it's their problem, or something wrong with Firefox. Thanks, in advance, David

Why is there no price tag icon for Review Checker in the search bar for Amazon and Walmart? (I am signed in to Mozilla, and I tried turning off all my adblockers and Privacy Badger.)

Thank you for your suggestions!

I view movies and tv series on Amazon Prime and others every night . Suddenly I no longer can. On Prime I get a msg. saying I must update ff. It tells me the process and I have done it at least 6 times. When I go to 'about Firefox it tells me that I am already up to date, have version 115.18 esr. I am on a Dell Business computer, Vostro 470. Windows 7, service pak 1. Processor is i5-3450CPU @3.10GHz. RAM 400 GB , 4 processor cores. 64 bit. Prime disk466 GB 395 GB free. I'm a senior lady, not very computer literate. I have a ton of duplicate files but don't know which to remove. If I got help I could free up a lot more space. I watch everything on my computer monitor. I don't understand as the esr was supposed to allow us to continue. Please help as I am pretty homebound and this is about my only entertainment.

Hi, there are bugs with text selection when using touch. The video below explains. But simply selecting text is really buggy and the bugs happen randomly, long pressing on text sometimes selects text sometimes not, sometimes opens context menus sometimes not. The preferred behavior is to select text and open the context menu at the same time.

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.

I recently got norice that Firefox needed updating so I clicked on ok. When it got done updating, Firefox opened with my tabs but the tab spacing was gone as as well as there was no color in the Title bar and menu area, which was normally light blue to match Windows 10 22H2 backbrond I have. I looked at enabling the legacy support in about:config but it was already enabled. I use a Chrome UserChrome.css file that allows the tabs to have just a bit of space between them and rounded edges. I have vision issues and this made it so I could see open tabs and distinguish them.

This is the userChrome.css file I used: .titlebar-color{ color: AccentColorText !important; background-color: AccentColor; }

.tab-background{ border-radius: 8px 5px !important; margin-bottom: 2px !important; margin-top: 1px !important; } /* NEWTAB button */

1. new-tab-button,
2. tabs-newtab-button {

fill: red !important;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.7) !important;

}

/* NEWTAB button - hover */

1. new-tab-button:hover,
2. tabs-newtab-button:hover {

 fill: white !important;
 background-color: rgba(255,0,0,.7) !important;

} .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected=true]):not([multiselected=true]) .tab-background{ background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 25%, transparent); } menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem{ padding-block: 2px !important; min-height: 0px !important; }

root{

--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 2px !important; } I attached Firefox with white colored Title bar and Waterfox with colored title bar for example. Is there some setting in the about:config I am missing that was changed from 132 to 133 version? Thank you very much Vernon

I have just logged on for the day and the Side Bar has changed. It now has an extra layer making it wider which now pushes a highly used website page off the screen which is very annoying because I don't want to reduce it's zoom any more.

I use the Side Bar to bookmark various links within this website as shortcuts to navigate it.

How do I remove this unwanted extra layer?

Please find attached a Snipping Tool file.

The unwanted extra layer is the bar down the left showing my Bookmark icon on the top and the Settings icon on the bottom neither of which I want or need and this is causing the extra width to the sidebar which is upsetting my viewing. How do I remove this new bar?
