Hello, i usually activate the search tab via ctrl+f and using the highlighting feature. If i manually edit text in the search box, the highlight is updated respectively , but if i select any word on the page (mouse double-click if this matters) and then press ctrl+f again (which is expected to be filled in the searchtab), the highlitght is still on the old word. Is this a bug ? or maybe there is an easy solution to this.

Hello, Has something changed recently in how bookmarks are backed up in HTML format ? In mid-May I backed up my bookmarks, and the resulting file was about 13.8 Meg in length. I was using whichever Firefox version was current at the time. I recently upgraded to the latest version (103.0.1, 64-bit, Windows 10). Today when I did a backup the file size was only 7.7 Meg. I have even more bookmarks now than back in May, so I'm confused about why the backup file is half the size. Is this normal or is there a problem somewhere ? Thanks in Advance

I go to Yahoo.com for email several times daily. I rarely go to Youtube.com .

I believe the order that url suggestions (and autocomplete) come up has changed in one of Firefox's updates and now, as soon as I type the "y", Firefox suggests Youtube.com . I go to Yahoo.com a hundred times for any one time I might visit Youtube and Yahoo would come first alphabetically so I would assume it would "suggest" Yahoo before Youtube.

My guess is that Firefox decides on which site is more popular during daily browsing but this was not the case before.

I have tried several methods to attempt to control the order the suggestions appear but Youtube still autocompletes as soon as I type the "y".

Any way to change this to my liking? Or is this just the way it is and will be?

I've attached a screenshot but I edited it to obliterate a few id's and personal information from the example url's.

I'm trying to figure out how to disable your automatic news feed reader preview setting. Wading through your overly complicated and endless Support pages has taken more time than it would take to install a different browser and start from scratch. I like Firefox, but this is ridiciulous. I've gone through all the preferences a half-dozen times or more.

I have a Firefox account on an old laptop, which has all my passwords in it! But the laptop "died" and I now have another one which I am trying to reinstall! I thought all my passwords etc were safe and that I could recover them on my new machine once I had loaded Firefox, but passwords do not appear in the privacy and security section. Can I get all my old info back please and if so how? Many thanks Michele

The relatively new computer (running Windows 10) used by a non-admin person keeps asking for admin permission every time there's a firefox update. I have several other workstations with firefox and none of those ask for admin rights to be able to update. No solution found in several internet searches for this problem. I'm about ready to put Chrome on this person's computer so I don't have to go to his desk & enter my admin credentials for just a damn FF update.

Firefox is supposed to open in the same mode as when it is closed. This is not happening and while not a terrible problem it is annoying to have to resize the display every time I open the program. Nothing I do changes the situation.

Is this a bug in the latest update ?? If not, how do I correct the problem??

I use Firefox version 103, the old version that is perfectly compatible with an extension I always use. I love this old version, and I don't want to update it to the new version. But the update reminder pops up many times everyday. it's so annoying. I used "about config" to turn it off (see photo 2); it works a bit, but the popup still there once daily after the configuration. I want to turn it off permanently. Is there any way to do it? Thank you very much!!

So, Firefox automatically updated (to 103.0.1), and somehow or other the sidebar with all the bookmarks disappeared. Normally, this would take me about 10 seconds to find where the function was hidden, and turn it back on. No big deal--just a petty nuisance. Now, however, this function has been hidden so well, that I have no clue where to look.

I understand that interfaces change, and not everyone works the same way, but that's no excuse for flat out taking away a tool that some people (no matter how small a minority) still use on a regular basis, just in the dubious name of 'fashion.' Leave well enough alone. If I wanted my tools changed and moved on an irregular and capricious basis, I'd stick to Microsoft.

Now, please tell me how to get my bookmarks side bar back, or put together an update that makes it functional again.

Hello,

my old computer died and got a new one. I signed in Firefox but I don't know how to transfer all of the bookmarks and saved toolbars from the old computer. Unfortunately, I'm not able to turn on the old computer anymore so I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve this info.

Thank you so much, I appreciate any help you can offer.

Today when I opened Firefox, it did not have my previous session of hundreds of tabs. I have come to terms with the fact that I won't be getting it back.

The problem now is that Firefox refuses to restore the previous session when I close and re-open it, although the setting to do so is still ticked. It worked without any issues up until yesterday, and now it does not.

I have not changed any settings. I have not added any add-ons, and none that I use mess with sessions to begin with. The last update for Firefox was 4 days ago, and doesn't mention anything related. I have not installed any programs that would mess with Firefox's files. It just arbitrarily changed behavior, and I am at a complete loss.

This is on Win 10. Any help is appreciated.
