Please help me restore my bookmarks and history - the update seems to have wiped everything clean. PLUS I have multiple Firefox icons appearing in my dock. MacBook Pro.

I maintain a website that I update on a regular basis. For the past month, none of the updates have shown up in Firefox. I've refreshed the page, cleared the cache, logged out and logged back in. Nothing has helped. With other browsers, there's no problem -- Chrome, Opera and Safari all show the website updates as soon as I post them. I'm using Firefox 122.0.1 (64-bit) on MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (MacBook Pro 14-inch 2023). The website uses WordPress, hosted by DreamHost. I have two other WordPress websites, both hosted by WordPress, and Firefox is showing updates with no problem. I'm querying DreamHost on this as well, but I suspect they'll must say it's a Firefox problem.

Characters dissapearing, missing, garbled only in Firefox. Seems to be ok in troubleshooting mode. This only happens in Firefox so it appears to be isolated. As you hover over links is when it happens the most. I have the latest version installed and was just loaded on a new system.

Ok, I've resolved this in the past, several version of Firefox ago, under windows. Firefox crashes silently, open it again and no tabs are restored. Open firefox again and look in recently closed windows and the one with my tabs is not there, only little utility windows that are popped up when I log in at the coffee shop, so my recently closed windows are overwritten with windows with no tabs.

So I go to my profile sessionstore-backups folder and copy it to the desktop. I have 6 files, previous.jsonlz4, recovery.baklz4, and recovery.jsonlz4 at around 8 megs in size. I copied each to the folder one level up and renamed them sessionstore.jsonlz4, and each time restarted firefox. All that opens is a blank tabbed firefox window.

There was never an existing sessionstore.jsonlz4 file anywhere I could find, even with firefox closed, this file never appears anywhere I could find it. Searching files with Windows was also unsuccessful.

I feel like I have captured the files with my tabs, based on the date modified, several were from before the crash. Why can't I find a working tutorial on how to restore my tabs? Nothing I've found on the support site works though I follow the directions exactly.

Thanks

When I clicked troubleshooting mode FF unexpectedly closed my Private browsing session and all the tabs. How do I reopen them?

I did not expect FF to close on me like that. I thought that as I was in a private browsing session FF would have warned me that it was about to close had it been necessary.

I'm guessing that my open tabs have been lost permanently because you didn't warn me and that all that time I spent is now wasted.

Life is really simple except that other people make it problematic.

I visited Twitter and Facebook looking to contact Graham Hancock. I had to signup. But now everytime I open my browser ---- Twitter and Facebook automatically open up. HOW DO I GET RID OF THESE 2.

Hi, I have recently update my Win system with everything including Firefox. And now when I open new tab there is the same Firefox icon like always, but when I it is loading new page then its new X. When it is done with loading it changes to OK icon of the dedicated page. Is this X normal? Thank you

I used to love Firefox. For years, Firefox has been my primary & exclusive browser. But, in the last 6 months or so, Firefox is CONSTANTLY & CONSISTENTLY freezing on me. Here is the guaranteed & predictable pattern: Everything is working well for an hour or so and then suddenly, for no rhyme or reason, the program freezes. I close the program (because it's not responding, so says the error message) and I immediately reopen Firefox and things are fine for another hour or two...and then it happens again & again & again & again!

It just happened again while I was in the middle of an important work project & I AM SICK OF IT. I loved Firefox so much, I have spent hours & hours, over many weeks and months, reading about the problem and trying ALL the recommended fixes--to no avail. NOTHING has worked. Don't ask if I tried this or that because the answer is yes, I tried it. And it is happening to me on multiple computers. (I use two computers simultaneously, a brand new Windows 11 and an older Windows 10 computer.) It's getting to the point that I am starting to use Chrome more and more because I can use Chrome (or any other browser such as Edge or Maxthon) without problem or incident. But old habits are hard to break and I keep returning to Firefox (being the fool I am) & because I have Firefox tweaked to my specifications especially with passwords, etc. I have very reluctantly and unhappily removed many add-ons thinking one of them might be the problem. But, as I said, nothing has worked. And yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, turned off hardware acceleration, did your registry tweaks, bla, bla, bla.

I am writing mainly to vent. Because I have tried ALL THE FIXES without success, I have no confidence that you can solve what appears to be a common problem. But, of course, if you think you can help me, give it a whirl. Otherwise, I need to dump Firefox for good. Thank you letting me share.

My Kaiser website kp.org can't come up...the following error message:

"The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

Hi. I've used Firefox as my main web browser on desktop computers for over a year now, and it's so far been the best web browser I've used.... except for one issue when it comes to major updates to the app.

I have Firefox set to open up on the tab/site I was using before I end a session and close the app. Whenever there is a new major version release, the update gets installed the next time the browser is launched before showing the browser window. But, when the window opens back up, I'm not sent back to the site/tab I was previously using. A new tab automatically opens up to a Mozilla page saying that Firefox has updated, along with a large promotion for another Mozilla service.

I then need to manually close this new tab, and find the tab I was previously using during the last session before the auto-update. This is mildly irritating since it takes some control away over how I want Firefox to start up, and the new update tabs seem to just be used as a way to promote other Mozilla products seeing how the actual "Firefox has updated" text is very small.

Is there a way to turn off these automatic new tabs after every major auto-update? Or if there isn't, could an option to change the way Firefox notifies about updates be added in a future version, such as using the OS' notification option instead of opening a new tab?

Currently running the latest version of Firefox on an iMac, with Mac OS Sonoma.

Firefox is pissing me off. I want to disable SSL security checks long enough to do what needs doing. I'm working from a container so there's really no risk, just need the browser to do what I want not what 'It' wants.

peace

Hello,

My old computer which I had all my bookmarks and passwords stored on it has died. I got a new one and installed Firefox, but can't seem to see any of my old settings. I did not back them up as I assumed they were all stored on the cloud. Is there a way for me to get them back? (including all the websites I stored).

I don't have anywehre else to import the data from.

Thank you and Happy New Year, Ori

If I am on a web site and click a link to another page on the same website Firefox opens a new tab rather than displaying it in the existing tab. How do I get Firefox to NOT do this?
