Sun 19jan25 Firefox icon on my desktop disappeared!!! I copied an icon from its file extension but is is just a PLAIN icon WITHOUT the FOX ;-( how can I do an icon with the Fox picture? Pl help :-)

Hello everyone.

I'm dealing with something a bit strange.

When I try to use Firefox on Linux to search for things with Google, the `+` character is automatically removed from the query string. For example:

• Searching for `c++`, I got `c`
• Searching for `g++`, I got `g`.

This issue doesn't happen for DuckDuckGo, but only Google (using the same browser, just different tabs). I don't have (and don't plan to install) other browsers on my linux box to try, but from another machine in the same network I didn't have this issue with Safari / Chrome.

I'm using Firefox for Linux on Fedora Sway Spin.

I created a screen recording but the forum doesn't allow posting video. I can share it if needed.

The issue happened locally (I think couple of days go, earlier I was able to search for C++ related stuff troubles).

Please let me know if there's anything I can try to fix this.

Thank you very much in advance

I'm trying to move my profile from one PC to another because i have many opened tabs that i would like transferred upon opening the browser on the new PC. When attempting to transfer the profile from my external drive to the new PC, I receive the error "Destination Path too Long. The file names would be too long for the destination folder".

Just received the new update for Windows 11, and all of a sudden, the drop-down menus in search bar font became very small. Even with my reading glasses and window set at 200 Zoom in magnifier glass at four still have problems reading the drop-down menus and the search bar because of the size of the font.

In settings, I have all the font sizes set at 16. That is the ones that I can find to adjust any font size.

How do I resolve the problem or do I need to go to another browser?

I reinstalled windows yesterday. When I installed firefox and signed it, everything was fine. However, this morning, it seems to have removed 80% of my bookmarks. When I try to restore from the bookmarks yesterday, it just gives me the ones that I have this morning. I had tons and tons of resource bookmarks for my work that would be almost impossible to re-find in some cases due to the current state of search engines. Is there any way to salvage them? It seems like sync believes they never existed, but it DID sync them yesterday??? Please help.

Somehow, my sign-in on Coinbase is now asking for me to insert a USB device into my computer as a passkey, and that is there because of Mozilla Firefox. I tried a couple weeks ago to sign in, after my phone was broken, and in the process this new way of requiring me to have some USB device came about, now I cannot log into my Coinbase account, cannot buy or sell, do anything because Mozilla is requiring me to use a non-existent USB drive with a digital passkey. I cannot call and talk to Coinbase, and I have no idea how to reach Mozilla to cancel this either.

When I try to sign into eBay, a multi-photo comes up asking me to identify like objects in order to be allowed to enter the program. I believe Firefox is causing this problem. How can I fix the problem?

As far as I can tell from reading the help pages, the Firefox translation feature should automatically translate any page in any available language, unless explicitly set not to do so. However, I observe that no translation occurs unless I first select text, right click, and select translate, and even then, the translation is presented as unformatted text in a separate dialog box, which is not much better than copying and pasting web pages into some other translator service. Am I missing something here?

Sadly, this is not even close to being competitive with the Google Translate level of functionality. I use Google Translate every day to read package labels in grocery stores, road signs, and a host of other written sources of information. Occasionally, I even use it to hold conversations with people I would not otherwise be able to talk to. So far, I am nearly monolingual, and I am unwilling to do without this; I probably wouldn't travel if it were not available. It does tie me to that fraction of the surface area of the earth where high speed internet access is generally available, but I don't really need to go any places where it is not; I am not trying to hike across Antarctica. I understand that there is a loss of privacy when dealing with Google, but I do whatever I can to fend that off, and the value of the free services I receive in exchange is huge. What's the future of Firefox in this respect?

When I search using duckduckgo within firefox I get a white page with no results sometimes, it's quite frequent and I'm not sure what is the cause. I've tried disabling addons like Ubo, malwarebytes and had no luck. I've changed my firefox settings hoping that would fix it but it hasn't. It's like the page doesn't fully load.

Hello, In old versions of Firefox picture-in-picture mode was "always on top" by default, now "always on top" must to be enabled every time I pop-out every video. Is there any solution to make picture-in-picture mode "always on top" by default?
