Edge" (or some Microsoft product) repeatedly tries to preempt Firefox, my default browser, loading my default page: Yahoo.mail. It happens inconsistently, and in different manners, hard to describe. It happened on my desktop and also on my laptop. It seems very aggressive, but right now the start-up was normal

When I select a text and right-click, the option to translate by Firefox's native translation feature appears. The default target language for this seems to be the defined by locale; for my case, it's always Turkish. How do I choose a different target language to appear in the context menu? I cannot see an option for default target language in settings.

Hello, I have installed the latest Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop PC. I have created a shortcut to Firefox in the start menue Since a few week, I observed that I had to invoce Firefox twice in order to get is running once. The same happens if I double-click on firefox.exe in the intallation folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox): After the first double-click, the windows activity circle appears for a few seconds and then dissapears again (without staring Firefox). After the second double-click, Firefox starts immediately.

I can repeat this several times.

  • first double click > nothing happens
  • second double click > Firefox starts
  • closing Firefox
  • third double click > nothing happens
  • fourth double click > Firefox starts
  • closing Firefox
  • fifth/seventh/... double click > nothing happens
  • sixth/eigth/.. double click > Firefox starts

I have no idea what might have gone wrong. Any suggestion from the community is appreciated. Best,

A while ago when using the setting firefox noticed that i was using a vpn and turned the settings off. At least that was what i believed. Turns out, that only works with browser vpn addons that use the firefox settings. But these addons do not use wireguard, but tls to encrypt your data. If i use a vpn, and want to use the dns settings provided by them, i have to turn of the feature the dns over https feature from firefox. I only want to use that feature, if im not "protected" by a vpn solution of my choice.

I had recently tried to download a .Zip file, which got corrupted. I tried twice again. Now every time I open the browser the three corrupted files pop up in the "downloads" window. It does not appear when opening a new tab, only when starting the browser. I have deleted the corrupted folders and don't want to retry downloading. I have tried both "clear all downloads" and "remove from history" in the downloads window, but the notification still shows up. Settings do not help.

How can I remove this pop-up? It blocks my toolbar and is a general nuisance.

I need to use Firefox to login to Jpay.com because the company that manages the video visits for this site, Securus has stopped working on my other browsers.

I can enter my username and password on Chrome and Edge, and get logged in. But the video visit will no longer work from those browsers. I have removed Firefox and reinstalled it to be sure I have the latest version. When I enter my username and password for Jpay.com from Firefox, it does nothing. I am stuck on the login screen. I have looked at extensions and settings, but not sure what could be blocking me from logging in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Lost Previous Session, my cookies and history

Hello, I had 2 open firefox windows on each of my monitors. I was doing work and at the end, I closed every window on my PC. When I came to the firefox windows I closed my "secondary" window first and it said "would you like to close 3 tabs" and I clicked yes. That is pretty normal, when you have 2 windows. Then I closed my "main" window the one that is always restoring when I open firefox and it also said "you're about to close 20 tabs". Once again, sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't, but it always knows to restore it, so to me it's normal. I put my pc to sleep and I the next morning I turn on the pc and it opens a blank homepage. I think nothing of it, so I go to try and restore it through the history and that doesn't work. I go online to look how to restore it and it says everything about backup on the profiles folder. I go there and it isn't showing the files that I had, just the ones that I used this morning. I try to change the firefox profile to see if that window is in another one it isn't. I had hopes that it wasn't erased because that morning when I opened a window and I had more than 1 tab it said to me "would you like to close 4 tabs" and that always happens when there is more than one window open. So in the end I abandoned to recover the tabs I just could do it from the history. My WHOLE history that I collected for the past 6 years is gone and all my cookies. I have Firefox Sync and it shows my history on my phone, but when I go to sync it, it still doesn't show. I need help with at least recovering all my history and cookies; Bonus points if you can try to recover my lost window. Thank you!
