I read a few posts and it is all gobbledy gook. Can someone answer y/n to the following is their a SIMPLE way to unblock Free-Sudoku.com which I have been using for years? Is there a simple way to turn off all the security stuff so I don't have to waste hours trying to find a solution? Is there a simple way to ask a question to get a meaningful answer without all the flak that means nothing to an average user? Does anyone at Firefox care about the average guy trying use his browser without unnecessary security lockdowns? If anyone can answer yes to these questions, perhaps you can give me a dumbed down version of the simplified questions. I just want to play sudoku from free-sudoku.com all I get is a lock with a bar through it. on the U'RL box. It just started 3 days ago after years of non-interference. When I click on the lock I don't have an unblock button in the popup. Why does firefox just put one there instead of just an arcane hours long wild goose chase to look for non-solutions. Yeah, I am frustrated over unilateral browser lockdowns.

Tell me how to delete Google as the default search engine & replace it with another one. If I can't do this I will remove Firefox and also the Mozilla VPN from all my computers. I have used Firefox for years and supported Mozilla. As far as I'm concerned you people have lost your way if you do not give people the option to change their default search engine.

I have a Mac desktop, a laptop with Windows 11, and an Android phone. I have about 120 bookmarks saved. On my Mac, they periodically backup fine and I can restore them if anything goes wonky. My phone and Windows laptop both show all the same bookmarks as the Mac. However, if I go to Manage Bookmarks to restore them on the Windows laptop, it shows many backups have occurred but only 5 bookmarks have been backed up. I have signed out of Firefox on all devices and signed back in. The Windows laptop did one correct backup showing the 120 or so bookmarks, and then every subsequent backup shows only 5 again. After a few weeks, the "correct" backup has been overwritten and is gone.

Anybody know what I can check to make the Windows laptop backup my bookmarks correctly?

I have zero clue how 150+ of my mother's passwords suddenly appeared in my account. Further, why the hell many of my passwords are now GONE! My mother has not used Firefox in ages and there is ZERO reason her Google Garbage should be anywhere NEAR my Firefox account. I have been using Firefox since my early teens but I will sure as hell jump ship if there is not a damn good explanation and fix for this utter BS!!!!!

Hi,

I use the latest FF for MacOS.

When I "close" Firefox by clicking the red cross in the top left corner of the window, I lose all open tabs when I start again despite having the option of restoring the previous session checked. When I "close" the whole thing (right click on FF in the Dock, Quit, and then re-open), all my tabs are back normally.

So basically every time i click this red cross, by mistake or not, I lose anything that's open.

Feels like I did not have this issue before.

Anyone has a workaround or experiences a similar issue?

Thanks!

Started using Firefox as my default a few days ago. Whenever I open Twitter, I'm taken to my Notifications screen instead of my Home screen. Not THAT big a deal, one click gets me where I want to be, but still a minor annoyance. Maybe it takes me to that page if I have some new notifications? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Could we get a totp authenticator for Firefox. I've been using Authy. They used to have a version for all OSs, Linux, Mac, and Windows - as well as Apple and Google phones. They have just discontinued their desktop apps. I was thinking wouldn't it be great if an authenticator was built into Firefox? I envisage it working like a password manager insofar as the authenticator code gets autopopulated.

This could either be built in or offered as an extension. The later may be more palatable lest the corporate overlords label Mozilla as troublesome.

Thank you for your consideration, Joe

a few days ago, Firefox stopped playing sounds. Any sounds. not youtube, not on Facebook. Not even porn videos. nothing. i don't remember installing any new software and Chrome plays youtrube sounds just fine. I listen on headphones and when i unjack, i still can only hear Chrome's browser play sounds. It seems like its not my comp, its the browser itself and it's only happened recently. i have yet to uninstall the browser and re-install, but i think if i use the Mozilla backup program to save my bookmarks, it will save whatever setting is causing the problem as well and re-installing will get me nowhere. anyone have any clue? i'm sure it's something simple but i cant figure it out

I have received an email requesting that I update my browser before the 31 march 2024 in order to still have access to my Mozilla account.

I wish i could update firefox but my computer and operating system are at least 10 years old. And updating my operating system (to be able to use a newer version of firefox) will create havoc on my computer.

I really like using firefox, I've used it for many years. And it's indeed very practical to be able to sync between my phone firefox browser and on my laptop.

I just wanted to share my disappointment that people like me will no longer be able to use their account and browser properly. Some of us cannot or do not want to update everything all the time and wish to be able to use basic functions of apps/programs they like.

Thank you for this very good product. I'm just sorry I won't be able to use it properly anymore.

If you know of any solution to this problem, I would be very glad to try it.

Thank you

When I go to www.belastingdienst.nl I receive the message: connection reset. The cause is not business of the site. Furthermore I can load all other sites on my laptop (windows 11) My old desktop (windows 10) does not have such problems. What can I do to reach www.belastinggdienst.nl on my laptop? It might have something to do with my firefox settings.

I am most grateful for any help

As of today, I am unable to scroll with my mouse in google sheets. The scroll bar on the right disappears and I'm taken to the bottom of the spreadsheet and can't scroll back up. I have to use CTRL+Home and then the arrow keys to go down the rows. This appears to be only on Firefox. I tried a different browser and it worked fine.

I have trouble reading small, thin, and faint text.

I already use about:preferences, userContent.css, and userChrome.css to set my preferred fonts and font sizes. I think I can also use them to set font-weight.

But I want body text to be good and readable, and I still want bold text and header text to stand out. So I don't want to set *everything* to font-weight 500. So is there a way to set a range from 500 to 900, or a minimum of 500 but leave bolder fonts unaffected, or set everything which wasn't already bold to 500, and anything that was to 700?

the question is "how can we help?" that's easy: fix your browser. I've been using firefox for decades but I just installed chrome, and I desperately DO NOT want to use chrome but firefox is unstable. It freezes and I have to open task manager to try to close it and there are dozens of firefox tasks running.

Before you ask: this is a new laptop, windows 11 is updated, all the drivers, etc are updated too. I do not use extensions.
