I enjoyed the functionality of the sports widget during the world cup. Are there any plans to make it useful for other sports? is there some kind of API to mess around with to build your own firefox homescreen widgets? I'd love to see MLB schedules/scores/updates populated on the new tab page.

Hello Mozilla Community!

I've been at this for about two months and can simply not find a solution. I normally have 40+ tabs open in my desktop browser. I can put my mouse cursor/pointer over the tabs and using my scroll wheel shift visible tabs left or right (not actually switching to another tab).

All of the sudden it seemed that when I do this the tabs just absolutely fly by. Like I can't shift just two or three tabs at a time, it's shifting 10+ tabs with just a single scroll wheel 'click'.

I can see ten tabs or so and I know that what I want is just a few to the right, when i begin to scroll them the tab I want goes shooting by so far left it's gone now. I 'm left having to click the left/right arrows to move just one tab at a time, but if I click them too fast I get basically the same response. They just go flying by.

How can I slow this down without also changing the vertical scroll speed of the mouse when reading long webpages?

Thank you, John

Not limited to youtube

All videos on any site will load properly however they will not play. Can skip around and see frame by frame but the video will not play

I've had a problem for a while where Firefox tells me "Firefox is being updated by another instance" and the only way I've been able to get updates is by using the installer.

In my attempts to resolve this, I learned of the `about:profiles`. I have never set up profiles so I figures I should only have the 1 default profile but it turns out I have `default`, `default-release`, default-release-1`, and `default-release-2`.

Of these profiles, the `default-release` is the 1 that has my data while it is `default-release-1` that is able to update.

I would like to make it so that I only have 1 profile that has all of my data AND is able to update.

I already tried removing all the profiles accept the one with my data but that leaves Firefox unable to update. I restored all the profiles I removed and I am back to where I started.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello. 😊 I have a question about my copy of Firefox for Windows v152.0.6 x64. (For the record, I have nasty feeling that I'm using the wrong forum; but the address bar says I'm in the right one.)

In my main profile, the one that I have been using for years, the "Home and Startup" part of my settings page shows the following:

- Firefox Home

 - Search
 - **Weather**
 - Shortcut
 - Support Firefox
 - Recent Activity
   - Visited pages
   - Bookmarks
   - Most recent download
   - [Choose a wallpaper]
 - Firefox logo

Today, I went to about:profiles and created a new profile. This new profile offers different settings:

- Firefox Home

 - Search
 - **Widgets**
   - **Lists**
   - **Timer**
   - **Sports**
   - **Clock**
   - **Weather**
 - Shortcuts
 - Support Firefox
 - Recent Activity
   - Visited pages
   - Bookmarks
   - Most recent download
   - [Choose a wallpaper]
 - Firefox logo

That's strange, isn't it? Why the difference? And how can get all the goodies of the new profile under my old profile?

Why do I continue to receive a message from Firefox after creating a New Profile?

Firefox This profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile. OK

A new profile PERSONAL #2 was created following the Steps to Create a New Firefox Profile.

What did I do wrong? how to correct, so that I stop receiving the error message?

I usually watch videos on Firefox on Stan - https://www.stan.com.au/account/login - with no problem on Debian. Just wondering if this is a fault with Firefox on FreeBSD, so I know where to go looking for the problem. Other outlets have sub par performance, also, such as YouTube, where the video comes up but plays like it's operating at one frame/5 seconds, with no sound. Thanking you for any time and trouble.

I am using Windows 11 on both my desktop and laptop. I began using vertical tabs a ways back. On my desktop I am able to scroll through the active vertical tabs with the mouse. But, I am unable to scroll the vertical tabs on my laptop. I have compared the Firefox settings on both computers and have been unable to find any settings that are different which could be applicable.

Roughly one third of my bookmarks all changed to sites I have visited recently. They still have the same labels, but when I click on them, they just take me to some random site I've visited recently.

День добрый. Я с 2023 года не выходил с аккаунта. После переустановки системы, и установки новой версии браузера, синхронизация не подтягивает мои данные (закладки, пароли и тд). Данные очень важны, мне остро необходимо их вернуть.

I saved and closed a few tab groups about a month ago and now they're no where to be seen. Nothing is in the down arrow on the right and I don't see any groups searching through history. The text when I closed them said I could re-open them at any time. Where are they?

How do I get to - "Usernames and passwords are not saved" ? ? - it does Not say - Passwords in settings - so how do I get there ? I need to SAVE my gmail log in password so I don't have to keep typing it in to OPEN gmail and to subscribe to videos  ! BandOfLife@gmail.com July 19 2026
