The free native VPN stays enabled when I launch Firefox at the start of every day after turning on my Desktop PC, but the problem is that despite the VPN itself being 'on', it's not actually 'on'.

To make the actual VPN work I need to turn the VPN 'off' and then turn the VPN back 'on' again.

I know for a fact that the VPN doesn't instantly work at launch by default because I use the VPN to bypass the age verification popup message on https://www.reddit.com

The age verification popup message appears on Reddit when the VPN is claimed to be 'on'.

So like I said, when I turn the VPN 'off' and then back 'on' this makes the VPN actually work like normal.

It's annoying having to switch the VPN 'off' and then back 'on' every time I fire up Firefox to the foreground for the first time.

Can this bug be fixed?

My bank required me to turn off my pop-up blocker, so that it could do something I needed. Now that is done. But i don't know how to toggle the pop-up blocker back on to activate it.

So i have bookmarks i don't need anymore and when i click on the ones i want to delete i cant remove it... and so I googled how to remove it and this showed up and you delete everything maybe? Cause i need to bookmark stuff i need to see and use just help me please I'm begging you please.

My home page with all my favorite shortcut icons is gone after doing a Firefox update/download. Instead there are shortcuts like wikipedia and others I never use. Facebook and my bank shortcuts and others are missing. How do I get them back?

I don't use Firefox daily, so not sure exactly when it last opened ok on my iMac (26.5.2). So I downloaded Version=153.0.1 BuildID=20260727124451, and tried again. When attempting to launch, the icon in the dock bounced a few times, then nothing. When repeated, it only bounces once.

Likely unrelated, but I had very recently upgraded my LuLu app (4.4.3) from Objective-See. It monitors outbound connections. But disabling the app changes nothing.

I'm not a MacOS guru. I expect there is an error in a log file somewhere that reveals the problem, but I don't know where to look.

Suggestions?

I have Firefox 15.3.0.1 on two computers. One one, when I go to about:config, there is a search bar with an option to "Show only modified preferences." On the other computer this search bar is missing. How can I make it display on the second computer?

So, i'm trying to use VsCode and firefox in conjunction to file away some info, but for some reason, the ability to split the screen easily is gone. It is still there on my laptop with firefox, so i'm not sure why it is missing on my pc, especially since the pc is the newer version of firefox. See attached image for what i mean by easily split my screen.

How to get rid of BING setting on internet/Firefox

Contributor note: See also /questions/1595954 and /questions/1595955.

Repeatedly asking you: how to get rid of Bing. Don't know how this became my default search engine. "manage search engines" does not even provide a toggle to add Firefox/Mozilla. Pressing on Bing toggle does not remove Bing.

when i use Chrome or edge to access yahoo email I can write & edit. when using Firefox browser; I cannot write & edit/highlight/change text colours etc before sending. tried deleteing & re-installing Firefox . please help. Driving me crazy rsvp

I couldn't save my key because the tab closed automatically during a computer bug. (to the "fbi agent in my computer": fu.) I'm guessing that it was an issue with my computer and not the browser, but in case it is a firefox issue:

firefox opened two of my browser extensions that were in the extensions folder:

• Adblock, with a page highly pushing to give them money
• Capital One Shopping, with two identical user agreements I was meant to sign

I don't need a detective on the case, but I would really like to get my encrypted key somehow. and if it didn't give the fbi agent more sensiti!e info, that would be great.

Thanks!
