I have a WINDOWS computer and I use Windows 11.

My Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar has several FOLDERS.

Each Folder has "drop-down" components.

Example: FINANCIAL Folder includes: Pension

                                                                Social Security
                                                                Military Retirement pay
                                                                15 or so "others"

                 BANKS Folder includes:  Bank #1 ( name witheld)
                                                           Bank #2 ( "         "         )
                                                           couple more

                 MEDICAL Folder includes :   Medicare
                                                                My Chart
                                                                couple more

Everything looked great. Worked great too.

Then, next time Computer turned on, the FINANCIAL Folder had "Pension"

                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Pension" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Social Security"
                                                                                                           "Social Security" ( same one again )
                                                                                                           "Social Security" ( 3 more times)
                                                                                                            ALL THE REST - GONE !!

Several Folders now 2-4 more times showing on the Bookmarks Toolbar Additionally, MANY Folders are now "Missing" !!!

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was CORRECT !

A day or so later, the Bookmarks Toolbar was ALL WRONG as described above.

What is going on ??

Is there a way to FIX this? Do I need to go to GOOGLE CHROME / MICROSOFT EDGE ??

Similarly I have tried to LOG-ON to my Marriott Hotel website and things did not work correctly. I called Marriott Reservations and described the problem. Marriott asked IF I was using Firefox? I replied "YES". They said to use Google Chrome instead.

I used CHROME and everything worked GREAT !!!

Is this the answer? Firefox is not being properly supported? I should switch Browsers ??

I have used Firefox for MANY years. These problems are VERY recent.

I have always thought that "hackers" targeted Microsoft so Firefox had a "lower profile" and was therefore "SAFER".

I am losing confidence in Firefox.

Are these problems that other Firefox users are having also?

I liked Firefox's recent REVIEWS of "Ratings" -- but that was terminated recently.

Something "smells BAD" about Firefox.

What gives?

If your recommendation is to "abandon Firefox", which Browser do you recommend?

You help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Lloyd H.

My old Firefox on my desk top has a home icon to go back to the home page. This new Firefox on my laptop doesn't seem to have one? What am I missing? How do I get back to the home page?

I have been using firefox for 3 to 4 years now and it's the best brower i have ever used but from a few months it have gotten too slow i am a student and need to create projects and research alot so i have to open around 20 tabs at a single time but before even after opening 30 tabs it would be fast as ever. I don't have any security extension or whatever i just have AdGuard AdBlocker extention, volume booster and grammerly and screenshot taker and hoxx vpn (it was before as well) but the firfox has become so slow now. (I have custom and max protection on) and additional windows protection too. and sometimes it just stop responding and also hangs up and closes own it own.

I'm absolutely dying for this feature, it is a lifesaver in Vivaldi and Opera and other browsers, the extension options simply don't work the same as they only work when the website has finished loading and in case I've clicked on the wrong link I have to wait for it to load to go back or lose my train of thought whenever I am using this browser after a while because I'm used to the Rocker Gestures to go back and forward. Please implement this feature into the base browser, thank you very much

I’m searching for guitars , when I used to log into say guitar before I would see pics of say Gibson guitars to look at . I’ve reset something somewhere to give me more privacy online and inadvertently turned off the command to show pics of my search topics .

Bonjour, Je veux modifier ces sites webs recommandés. Des "top sites" ça s'appelle je crois. J'ai regardé sur le net mais j'ai pas vu comment les modifier. J'ai par exemple, pas besoin de Le Monde ou de Reddit. Cordialement, Un utilisateur

Is it possible to view the contents of two tabs simultaneously? I have been in many situations where it would be very helpful to view two different web pages side-by-side to more easily make comparisons. Opening a new window and viewing them side-by-side is similar but being able to pick two tabs to view in one browser would be a lot faster and easier to control.

Hello support team,

I would like to inform you that since the last update in firefox 140.0.2 (64-bit) the pages of Proton mail do not load properly.

Logging page is successful Logging in is successful

Starting page isn't loading and redirects to error message. Reloading the page doesn't help.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
