Why can't anyone fix this issue? Every day I have to go to about:config, enter "mica" then change from false to true or true to false to get these buttons to show up. It's ridiculous. I am currently using Firefox version 146.1 on Windows 11. Also, please note if I change the windows widget to true these buttons show up and are usable. The next days I have to change the windows widget to false and they show up and are usable so they work whether or not the widget is set to true or false. The problem is having to change the setting DAILY. I should not be having to do this.

cleaning up my computer, I accidentally deleted firefox. I had a list of favourite links, and I lost them. Is there any way of recovering my list of favourites?

thank you, Glen A Goodale, [email removed]@gmail.com

I started using the new "Profiles" feature in firefox, and I created profiles one one device. However I am finding that the profiles are not syncing across my devices. Both are Windows 11 VMs, I tried doing manual syncs, singed out and back in to both devices. But the Profiles I create on each just do not seem to sync, is this the expected behavior ?

In Firefox, I have several windows open, each with many tabs. (And BTW, I love the Firefox tab-organization feature.) I would like to empty the cache and delete all cookies. Will that close the open tabs? Is there a way to delete the cookies, empty the cache and preserve all windows & tabs?

      Thank you!

Bookmarks in Firefox disappeared and cannot import my Bookmarks backup. I have tried to restore an older Bookmark file through /manage bookmarks/ import and backup/restore to no avail. thank you

My friend recommended this browser to me. When I tried to customize it, I couldn't find an option to change the hotkeys to my preference. I consider this feature important since I use it for work. Can I do this somehow, and is there any plan to add such a feature to the settings?

When I play YouTube videos in Firefox, the video stutters and drops frames, even when set to 480p. The audio continues to play normally. This issue does not happen in Chrome on the same laptop.

The problem started about a week ago. I’m using Firefox on Windows 11. Restarting Firefox did not resolve the issue. I’ve attached screenshots for reference.

Amazon - keeps loading and loading without ever finishing, only displaying half the page. YouTube Videos need to preload to avoid buffering. Certain websites can not be reached at all, failing with error message "Looks like your network is blocking this page" or similar. Etsy is not loading at all, just a blank page.

All these pages work fine in other browsers, so I don't think it's my network. I was not able to identify a specific error across all pages via Console. I have tried a few recommended troubleshooting tips, but no change so far. This has been going on for a while, long enough for me to reinstall Firefox - also no change. I'm on version 146.0.1

What is going on?

Starting for last few updates (on the last month) each time I hold my mouse click button for a few seconds on any page I am greeted with this popup: (see attached)

Main question: How do i disable this popup?

Second, what is the feature even about? why is it a feature? and what is the point of it?

When I try to log in to my account with Amazon Prime, Firefox freezes as soon as I hit the Continue button after entering the username and password. I can't open or close tabs or do anything. I don't have this problem with the Amazon account in any other browser.

Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it?

I own three laptops and they are in my Firefox account and synced. I have several bookmarks for site I frequently visit. On two laptops, based on my settings, when I tap a bookmark it opens up in its own tab. This is how I want these to function. For some reason, my third laptop does not behave in this manner. The new bookmark opens up on the tab I am currently in. It gets bumped and the new bookmark opens. This is exactly how I do not want it to perform. What is going on? Also, when I set up settings doesn't it work for all my laptops since I am signed in?

When accessing important accounts on websites, like financial websites, I've always heard you should close your browser when you're done with the secure website. If you log on in a PRIVATE window and close the private window afterword but leave the main FireFox window open, is that the same thing? I think it is and the private window will delete any login or activity info as if you closed the browser, I just want to confirm with someone more knowledgeable before I make a bad assumption. It also seems to have the added benefit of deleting anything you might download and save elsewhere from the download folder so you don't have to delete it from the DL folder and then the recycle bin. Seems like it's good practice to use the private window this way. Again, just looking for a 2nd opinion.

Thanks,
