Is it possible? Scenario:

Open a tab on mobile phone. View tab on PC. Close tab on PC.

I don't want this tab open anywhere anymore. Is there a way to close the phone tab from my PC? Not being able to do so makes this feature cumbersome and of limited use.

Thanks

Twice in a year, maybe in 2, Firefox updates have completely hosed my bookmarks. I don't always remember to save them when updates come through. This browser updates more than any other one I use. I'm an elder who has to juggle tons of internet details. I can't tell what folder they came from, but there are at least 150 bookmarks skewing the view of my folders.

I tried to delete all of them, and if I reopen it, all the ones I deleted are back in the way. Why won't they go away? What is getting confused here? One thing is that I'm afraid Firefox won't reopen all the tabs & windows I have open, so I kill it using my Task Manager, instead of just closing Firefox windows. Why? Because it has lost one of my windows before, with multiple tabs open and I couldn't find any of them.

Yes, I'm the one who maintains 3 separate Firefox windows with multiple tabs open. Please do not tell me not to do that, when I've been doing this for years & years. This thing's limitations shouldn't become mine. Everybody uses products differently; doesn't mean you get to judge when I'm not using it the way you do.

I hate that this happens, because I'm not expecting Firefox to make a mess and don't know where they're pulling all these bookmarks from. Nothing is missing from my folders. It's like they're duplicated and show up when I click 'Bookmarks'. They keep reappearing under the 'Bookmarks Menu' with Manage Bookmarks, but obviously not coming from there or they wouldn't reappear when I delete them.

Any ideas what's going on?

Again, don't tell me how to use my computer. I've been doing this since PC's were invented. If you know what's happening, great. If not, mind your manners & don't let your ego take pot-shots. Thank you.

Hi I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. I've set it so that FF asks me if I want to close all tabs when I close a window or exit. This is to restore pages when I restart next. What I've noticed is, this number of tabs in the question only keeps increasing -for example, if I have 50 tabs open, close 10 of them during a browsing session and open 20 more, when I go to exit, it'll ask me if I want to close 80 tabs. And when I start up FF next time, that number 80 just keeps increasing when I open/close tabs. It doesn't seem to be refreshing the 'tab memory'. There needs to be a button perhaps that purges that tab cache and takes a fresh 'reading' of all current tabs open and updating the total number.

Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks

I used to be able to save the current page as web page, HTML only and then open that page in Firefox. Now I can't. If I choose 'text' as file type, that is also unreadable. A possible hint: the file saved as HTML only has a Microsoft Edge icon.

I manage thousands of IP cameras across different sites that display this warning message every time the website is visited. This warning requires additional time spent to dismiss and continue with the login. I want to bypass this warning by any means neccessary for all websites because importing the certificates for each device is not feasible. I heard this is no longer an option that is supported in firefox, which is strange for a browser that was supposed to be the "android" of the web, yet doesn't allow the user to customize the experience beyond disabling updates and customizing the toolbar.

Ever since I loaded version yesterday Firefox periodically crashes when undertaking normal functions. For example I will load a set of tabs that i have been loading for years and now doing so causes a crash. Worse still of the 8 to 10 crashes I have experienced in the last 24 hours only 2 are recorded on the "about:crashes" feature and one of those fails when you attempt to submit it.

Now this has only started hapening since I upgraded to version 107. It is clearly somerthing to do with that update and the only further thing I can think to do is a full reboot in case some rogue process is interfering with the new version.

NB Please note I'm not interested in excuses about add-ons and the rest being the problem. it was this update that has destabilised my browser. Your Update. Your problem. Own it.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro using Firefox 107. As soon as I open Firefox it opens and audio stream (I see Firefox show up in the volume mixer). I don't think that is supposed to happen, there is no audio to play I have not even browsed to any website yet. My home page is Firefox default homepage (so no audio there).

I have tried troubleshooting it: opening only a troubleshooting instance of Firefox (nothing else) but again I see the audio stream opening (so that rules out the add-ons right?) I've created a new profile in about:profiles and opened only a Firefox instance on this new profile but again the audio stream opens as soon as Firefox opens.

I have not recently updated my drivers. In the past this did not happen.

Because of this, my laptop never goes to sleep and the battery runs out if I have any instance of Firefox opened.

How can I fix Firefox so it only opens an audio stream when there is audio?

Recently I have had difficulty completing online purchases. Specifically a purchase from Equifund, an investing company. I was using the Firefox browser, which I like, and I could not connect Equifund to my bank account nor get it to sign off with my credit card. They recommended Google Chrome and I had no problem. The same has happened with other purchases. Can you help solve this problem? Thank you! Victor McLaughlin
