Firefox Community Forum

6/21/26 This morning I could not open my FireFox browser, unless i created a Profile. I was forced to use the Profiles Wizard to create a Profiles; when i finished all my Bookmarks had disappeared. Which was a great shock, had lots of Bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, & Other Bookmarks, I need to get those Bookmarks back !! >>More info: I had Hibernated my Dell 15 laptop overnight. This morning when I turned on the laptop, I got the above message that I had to create a Profile, which I did, which made all my bookmarks to DISAPPEAR !! I need them back!

Hi. Recently, not sure of which version as there seems to be a lot of updates :)

I'm currently on 152.0.1 on a Windows 11.

This problem doesn't happen on my Raspberry pi with 152.0 (aarch64) On my Android 13 I have allowed Pop-ups, via about:config, sort of, but there is no option to make Exceptions

So back to Windows 11.

As said I can enter an exception and that works when I load the site I want until I close Fx and I have to do it all again: Enter Domain : Allow : Save etc.

Once, and only once, I closed the [settings] and I'm sure after closing FX and opening it worked fine.

Just closed again and problem has occurred.

The issue arises on my site https://calstock.org.uk which opens a window to a UK weather site, The Met Office. It requires cookies etc. and shows it's own popup.

What I do is open it first in a new window, which is the popup I am referring to, then I load it in an iframe, then I close the popup.

That way the cookie is set by the new window that pops up so there is no query on my main page.

I only have the one extension, uBlock Origin which I have on all devices

Thanks

I wanted to use the new VPN feature and the icon initially showed up in the top right, but it has disappeared and is not present in "customise toolbar" or privacy settings either.

I deleted the VPN button after the latest update and would like to get it back. I found VPN in the Settings but the VPN button is disabled, and nothing happens. Need suggestions -- thanks.

Last week I discovered that my emails (yahoo) when clicked on opened a Preview screen next to the email lists. How can the previews be removed and my emails appear across my screen instead of being crammed into a left hand column?

When a generic Search is done or even if one has Search engines under Settings, Wikipedia comes upo but not Grokipedia which is very good and getting better and better.

Windows 11 : Fix this ASAP I delete all tabs, close firefox, reopen and I get 5 tabs which seem to be STUCK. I delete 3 of these tabs, go about my work, none of those 3 are open, and I shut everything down. When I reopen Firefox, those 5 "default tabs" (the 3 I don't want have migrated over from I don't know were - both Chrome and Edge open with New Tab.)

I have enough other problems in my life - and done't tell me to create a new profile. At that point I'll kill firefox and end my donations to Mozilla.

Using 148 on Debian trixie I do not see the option for "refresh browser"?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Does it still exist or is there an alternative ?

I have really liked using the "refresh" button with my Firefox browser. The "refresh" button has disappeared from one of my two Dell PC's (I use Windows Eleven, and my Dell PC's have solid state drive). I know there are two other "help" buttons ("troubleshoot mode" and "clear startup cache"). The "refresh" button has really helped me to keep my Firefox browser working properly with my two Dell PC's. Thank you for any comments you might have about this.
