The Government has to keep changing. "for our Security". We have accounts with the Veterans Affairs medical stuff for our medical stuff. NOW we had to move to Login.Gov or another website. It was horrible, but I FINALLY got the Olde Marine & Myself 2 Different accounts (i.e. 2 different email addresses) in Login.gov. VA has continued making changes & since Friday I can not get into "My Healthy Vet

i.e. I go through the steps & when I type in the e-dress & password MY PHONE SHOULD RING with a numeric code.  Once I type in the Numeric Code, I can continue to scramble around trying to access our pharmacy or our 'care team' in the VA system.

I watch the screen, nothing happens. I wait for the phone call nothing happens. I look in my email box & there is a message from Login.Gov that a code was sent to me. NOPE.

I have no idea why. as a cat like nosy person, I am always needing to know why. What is wrong? Is it the government & if so forget it as they most likely won't answer the phone. Is it Charter Spectrum? Is it Mozilla Firefox? (whine) I am beyond my paygrade here. Please someone who can talk to olde Phartes... MAYBE this could be SPECTRUM/Charter??? They are a royal pain in the tush. sending mail to spam that is not & ignoring that I tell them it is real; changing font sizes when I am typing; & other crummy stuff.

Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

I have various shortcuts saved on the shortcut page comes up after logging in. Its set to 2 rows.. I use it every day. Used it this morning and working perfectly. Been out and when I came back the page is totally blank. I've tried sytem restore to 5th October but makes no difference. I use Windows 10 and read that Firefox are continuing to support Windows 10 I'm visually impaired and use a desktop PC with a large screen. I'm not PC techically knowledgeable. How do I restore my shortcuts or how do I re create them?

Firefox declare to be aware of privacy but as soon as I use Firefox to go on the internet, I immediately get connections from these 2 addresses : 34.107.243.93 34.107.221.82 in addition to the address of the site I connect to.

And sometimes, I receive so many connection attempts on ports that are not implied in the connection I have established with the initial site (conntrack) that I am obliged to disconnect the network. An example below : oct. 06 16:10:59 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=121 ID=19614 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:10:59 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=121 ID=19615 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:00 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=122 ID=19616 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:00 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=122 ID=19617 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:01 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=124 ID=19618 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:03 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=122 ID=19619 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:06 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=121 ID=19620 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0

This does not happen with other browsers like Konqueror, Falcon, etc. I suffered an attack in this way in the past with heavy consequences. Is there a way to configure Firefox in order to suppress it ?

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.

The favicons on my homepage are not appearing when I launch Firefox, and I can't find any way to restore them. Turning the favicons on/off in the settings doesn't help, it just moves the location of the search bar. I've included some images to better illustrate the problem.

Is there any way we can restore the favicons?

When I use on line banking and I want to look at a check, I can not get Firefox to render a check image. Also I downloaded tickets to an event and FF would not render the Q-code on the tickets. I what to know what settings to change in order to do online banking. BTW it works in Chromium Browser, but I do not use it and have little knowledge about Chromium, I just have it on my laptop for troubleshooting.

I just want to know WHERE the notifications land? I have a very old macbook pro (mid 2010) so I have a sneaking suspicion firefox is trying to tell me something about not being supported, yadayadayada, BUT where are the notifications? The OS am currently using is High Sierra 10.13.6 CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT HERE? Sorry to be such a klutz but these banners appear every day and I can't seem to access whatever it is that firefox is trying to communicate. Thanks all!

I have pop up blockers set to allow pop up blockers, but ev en though they are turned on. Firefox will not allow pop up windows in the learning management software (D2L brightspace) used at my university.

Two questions .......... You have my operating system as windows 10, it is windows 11 ??? ......... 2nd question ......... when I bring up Firefox it shows the weather for Chicago, I live in Minneapolis/St. Paul area, following your weather location change instruction, the weather still goes back to Chicago.

Hi, thank you for reading this :) Since a week or two I have issues with drops in framerate of videos. It happened first on youtube but since then also on other platforms with other video players.

I've tried troubleshooting mode, fresh install, different network. Nothing helps. Speedtest has me at 160 mbps up and down.

The audio runs smoothly in all this though, it really is just the video that drops.

I use firefox on a Macbook and have this feeling it started to happen when I upgraded to macOS Tahoe.

Thanks for any insight!

As per the topic, since the MacOS 26.0.1 update Firefox freezes after resuming from sleep. Specifically, tab selection, page refreshes or menu selections cannot occur. Keyboard command to quit does work and after a reload all tabs, windows and function is restored

None of my extensions have changed and for the first week or so after the initial MacOS 26 release this issue wasn't occurring. No other application or system changes have occurred since 26.0.1.

This has just started happening today. When I open FF my recent tabs do NOT open. I have the option selected in settings to open with recent tabs. In history I do not have the option to re-open recently closed tabs.

Any suggestions how to fix this defect?

how do i recover all the tabs I had open? I do not have and have not had the option to "Restore previous session". I did go to recover tabs, but it was not all of them. Then I tried scrounger.html and that did not work.

Hello All,

Just noticed today my firefox search bar has changed. I'm on Ver 143.0.4

Before I could click on it and it would show my recent visited websites. Now it shows nothing unless I choose history from the down error however after I go to a website I no longer have the option to click in and see my history again. I need to open a new tab.

Any idea how I can change this back as It seems like a very bad feature.

Thanks

Never had an issue printing google maps until a few weeks ago. Now the print function brings up the page header but no map. The map prints every time when I switch to Chrome. I opened the troubleshooting information page and clicked saved print settings in the printing section. That did not fix the issue.

When I discover that I have already bookmarked a URL, I want to easily discover in which of my folder(s) I have saved the bookmark. In some cases, the hosting site morphs the bookmarked URL with a redirect, so I am unable to discover the containing folder by browsing to the URL. Sigh. I would also like to discover situations where I have already bookmarked a single URL in several different folders.

I have downloaded the JSON for my bookmarks file and parsed the JSON. I now know that I have 7388 URLs bookmarked which are saved across 111 folders.

I am having trouble discovering the parent/child relationships between the various folders in which the bookmarks are saved. I have several situations where child folders have the same names and can be identified only when the child's parent folder is known.

Undated Firefox documentation at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../BookmarkTreeNode#parentid] suggests that each node in the bookmark tree should have a parentid and an index. I see an index but I do not see a parentid. I do see a GUID field. I have seen comments suggesting that parentid has been replaced by GUID.

But the values I see (GUID=FqNNI0k91ZjW, for example) do not make sense and have no connection to the ID fields (ID=2658, for example).

Can anyone help me make sense of the GUID values I am seeing? Are GUIDs now being hashed for some reason?
