Firefox Community Forum

Hello people,

I have a problem. At the moment I am running a Firefox version 143 on Linux with different windows. At the top left you can then select which windows you want to use. Only now it has disappeared. You get a home page. I have tried several solutions. Anyway, how do you get the rest back? Thanks.

Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

after this last update, all my bookmarks are gone, I read the restore article and did everything, but the profile folder is empty, I do have an external harddrive that I use to back up every week, but I don't know how to use it to restore the bookmarks

The links on the site tasteofhome.com stopped working recently. When you click on them nothing happens. If you load the same page in chrome they work fine. Any suggestions? Or is this a bug Sample URL https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chicken-and-bows/ but there are many more

Hello,

Several passwords were saved by Firefox. They are only saved locally ( no sync with Mozilla account). I recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Since the upgrade, no password is available in "Saved Password" section. I checked my profile and I can find logins.json file ( with all encypted logins and passwords) and key4.db file. I suppose my passwords cannot be decrypted as they were encrypted with Windows 10.

Is there a way to recover my passwords?

I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 and Firefox 143.0.1.

I recently bought my first OLED monitor, so I enabled auto-hide taskbar in Windows to try and reduce the chance of burn-in. However, while it works for the most part, it seems to often break in Firefox where the taskbar will hide, but not reappear when I move my mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen.

You can replicate this issue by having FF not maximised, then dragging its window titlebar to the top of the screen and letting go in order to maximise it. At that point, the taskbar no longer pops up when you mouse over the bottom of the screen.

Many thanks for any help you can give.

How do I turn on the video control bar typically located at the bottom center of the screen? It controls features such as speed up video playback, volume boost, expand screen etc. I have in on some of my pc’s but not one one of them.

With both browser.cache.(disk & memory).enable=false... Firefox settings to clear cache after closing... Close Firefox Turn off internet access Run CCleaner indicates Firefox internet cache cleared of ~23k of information Open Firefox browser (internet still off) Close Firefox browser Run CCleaner, and again it shows Firefox internet cache cleared of ~23k of information.

It seems to me that Firefox is still recalling cached data from somewhere. Can this caching (disk?) be disabled?

I have a number of old ReayNas Duo machines which I cannot afford to replace. Until recently they worked fine with Firefox after setting TLS to 1. Now, although I can log in, the menus done' work. Instead of taking you to the menu item the they close the menu & add 'Duo' to the page title. This is repeated each time you try to use a menu. The only exception is the 'logs' option, which seems to operate correctly. I'm using Firefox 143,0,1 on Linux Mint 22.2.

I have a few questions regarding the auto-update policy of extensions installed via ExtensionSettings with the force_installed installation mode.

1. Can the extension receive auto-updates just like extensions installed through normal means? (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org)

1. If so, will the user be notified when the extension requests new permissions?

I tried using the Google AI to help with this and it gave me instructions to resolve the situation using developer tools, but was a dead end. I hit a roadblock trying to find a "uriTemplate" for another webmail service. The only one that had been on the mailto list was Gmail and I had removed it prior to starting this process, so there was no uriTemplate to be found. I tried calling Spectrum for help, but that was useless. Does anyone know another way to go about this?

Using my Firefox browser I tried to login to mozilla account and I get the message "Local storage and cookes are required". I unblocked all cookie settings but have the same problem. I am able to log in using my MS Windows Edge browser, which I am presently using for this post.

Just upgraded one computer to Firefox v143.0.1 and now familysearch.org is very slow and will not load hints. v142.0.1 is still on my other computer and familysearch.org works normally. Within familysearch, I can click on a hint and a pane opens on the right. It normally populates within a second or two at most. With v143.0.1, it takes a minute to partially populate, then it goes no further. With v142.0.1 it works normally. I've disabled add-ons. Cleared cache. Deleted TEMP files. Restarted browser. Restarted computer. Nothing has worked. Previous upgrades over the years have not had this issue. Other browsers (Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge, SeaMonkey) do not have this issue. Attaching a picture of this page: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/G4QP-T3S A free familysearch account is required to see it--only an e-mail address is required. The right pane has been trying to load for over 4 hours at this point. Normally takes about 2 seconds.
