I use Firefox to manage an online course. For some parts, I want to zoom in to see detailed diagrams etc. In other parts, I want to see at a glance a simple list of submissions. So I have 2 windows (with their relevant tabs) open. But when I zoom into the first, the other window zooms in, so I lose most of the listing. How do I set the zoom differently in the two windows?

Hi,

I searched the web for deleting the item "Weitere Lesezeichen" in the sidebar. I found only solutions for the firefox 85. In Firefox 85 should be a field for hiding this. Although in Firefox 150 it can`t be hided or deleted. I don`t need and I don`t want this "Weitere Lesezeichen". Any solutions?

Hello. When I opened my browser, you forcefully opened a tab about VPN and how to install this. However I cannot find the mentioned "get started" button.

This is the page that automatically opened: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com

I lost all my data after installation of new firefox. I have lots of important data in that profile.

I forgot the password to sign in and when I reset, a new profile was created for me and all my data are gone.

Now, I even know the original password. I did not know, I will lose my data. How can I get my data back? Please help.

I want to play m3u8 link but they always download and save it. I try to find advance settings but it seems no settings for it. How can I stop download specific file extension? And if it can play, play it? Thank you.

On last Firefox update my Password manager was blanked out. I had no username/passwords in my Password Manager although I had previously had over 100. I managed to recover it by logging in to my Mozilla account but now have access to over 7000 of other peoples usernames and passwords on my password manager. You seem to have a major data breech or is this a quirk I don't understand? These other names/passwords show up when I try to log into certain sites, such as Schwab for example, and I have to pick mine out of a host of others to fill in the login info. What is going on?

Gentlemen, isn't your browser using a lot of RAM? I've been freaking out about it in recent years. That's only with 25 tabs open!! Despite the fact that the system was installed just a day ago, without any tweaks!!!

Firefox is my browser. I use Yahoo.com for my email and news. On articles with videos attached, I get the message below (see uploaded image). It is trying to get me to accept adds in order to make full use of Yahoo.com capabilities. I do not want these adds. I thought my add blocker would prevent this. I use "Ad Remover". This just started this week. Before I was able to view any video loaded on the Yahoo cite. Any suggestions?

My desktop has the entire Proton collection of apps loaded. This includes a paid VPN. I want a VPN for my laptop as well....is it possible to load Firefox free VPN to just my laptop? Or, if the addition of free VPN is universal to all Firefox installations, is there a way to deactivate the Firefox VPN on a certain separate device? Thanks for your time!

Hello there.

Since last update i'm unable to browse websites like youtube, social media and all other websites with video content. Video often fails to load,the wholewebsite is not loading, freezes while played or while exiting full screen mode. All of these freezes the browser - the site cannot be refreshed, links does not work. The only way is to close the tab with the freezed page or kill the Firefox process in windows Task Manager. Refreshing, re-installing, deleting or using different profile don't work. Same with add-ons. Seems like the issue lies within the browser and it started to appear since last update.

Firefox is my browser but unable to access email page, "Access denied. You don't have permission to access .... on this server". Internet operating ok otherwise. Also, I have an old Windows 7 laptop which works fine - emails available and open ok.

In Windows 11, how do I add the Firefox icon to the extreme top left of its webpages?

When I switch tabs to Firefox, typically using Alt+Tab, I am often unsure at first which program I am in. I have searched Firefox settings, and googled extensively, and there seems to be no way to add the icon back. I believe that it was once there, but I am unsure of this.

Almost every other program places its icon on the top left of its pages. Surely it is possible to do the same in Firefox, which just has an empty space there.

(But I am wrong on the last point, because Edge, which I rarely use, also has no icon there. Surely Firefox does not want to share any problem that Edge has!)
