Hello,

To explain the issue at hand I will copy the email I sent on Sunday to the Mozilla support team, by a member of which I was subsequently redirected here.

I am looking for a solution to a serious issue that occurred on my Mozilla Firefox browser on Thursday this week. It concerns a website called blankslate.io, which I use very frequently for taking various notes. On this site, it is possible to create a permanent account for storing one's notes, which I did not do because I thought it would not be necessary (though after this incident my mind on that has been changed). Without a permanent account, the notes taken there are saved locally only on the specific browser in the specific device. Onto the issue itself. My PC had been running critically low on memory, and, because of some misleading information I had received, I thought it was not possible to free more than only a very small amount. On Thursday, while I was playing a game, the remaining amount ran out (which surprised me because there had still been enough for everything to function properly when I checked before starting to play). To free some memory space, Firefox then performed an action which I will not be able to identify (please describe to me what this action was if you can) that resulted in me getting logged out of websites in which I have created accounts. I had no trouble logging back in everywhere except for blankslate.io, where, because of the way the notes are saved on the specific browser only and my lack of a permanent account, I now have no way of accessing my work, the site displaying a message of "This note is private" if I try to open one of my saved notes from either my browser history or my frequently visited sites. Neither is there any way of contacting the website's developer, because of the site's nature, or finding advice online, as the site is not a widely known one. Is there any way for me to regain access to the notes I had saved on this PC's Firefox browser? I still have access to all of the notes I had saved on a different browser or on different devices, so all of my work has not been lost, but this PC's Firefox browser contained, among others, my single most important note, one I have been using daily for 5 years and am highly distressed about not being able to access anymore. Please get back to me at your earliest convenience and, if it is possible to provide me with a way to resolve this issue, I will be immensely grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to read my request, I truly hope there is some way someone can help. (I can add the optional troubleshooting information as well in the case the issue can be solved with its help)

Hello, I'm using Gitlab. When I open a file, then click to the "copy file contents" button, it copies but even the file designed and filled one under the other, the copied content is side by side. When I do the same thing in Chrome, there is no problem. Could you please fix this? Yours faithfully.

Hi. I am wondering if there is a way to make the collapsed sidebar hide completely when the mouse cursor is not touching the left hand side of the screen.

I know its possible to make the sidebar expand on hover but id like if its gone until i hover over it.

Looked trough a lot of the help articles and googled about it, but could not find any solution to my "problem"

( picture shows the collapsed sidebar, would like that hidden fully unless you hover over that space )

Thank you Stig

When using the Vertical tabs layout, is it possible to display the contents of my Bookmarks Toolbar on the vertical sidebar? (screenshot attached)

I know that on vertical sidebar, there's already a star button at the bottom to open bookmark. But I want to display the contents of my Bookmark Toolbar directly on the sidebar. Is it possible?

My history of sites visited is too big and when I try start firefox it loads 20 pages or more onto my computer screen and then stalls how do I stop this

Thanksi

Hello. I can't print pdf files from Firefox but I can print them from Safari on my Mac. Using Firefox, I keep getting "The operation couldn't be completed. Permission denied." I have looked through Firefox settings and can't find anything about pdf file printing options.

When I am working on the internet, I often open a new tab, click the bookmark for where I want that to go to. Then go back to the prior tab I was using, while the new tab loads. EXCEPT, now I am finding, the non-active tab is NOT loading the page I instructed it to. So when I go back to that TAB, expecting to see the page I wanted, loaded, instead I get the little circle and still have to wait for it to load. Why is Firefox doing this?

I am informed here that my cookies are not enabled and that they should be , buy following EVERY link I can find from "settings" to "privacy and security" there is nothing that says "enable cookies" ,also as usual the last link given never allows me to find an answer? Where is this answer is all I am asking for, nothing too difficult is it?

I have a problem using the left click on my mouse to enter a square in either sudoku or a crossword when logged in to Readly within Firefox in Windows 11. I have tried with other browsers and they work fine. I have also tried other sites using Firefox and they work fine. I have also tried on my Ipad using Readly and Firefox and that works no problem. I seems it is a problem when only in Windows 11, Firefox and Readly. Any ideas?

I have a Samsung Galaxy-Book Go (2016), still fine and simple (for my sake) with ARM64, as my current mobile MS WEB APP dev work flow, via PortableGit* ARM64 equiv, VS Code ARM 64 equiv and I still seem to have a lot of unexpected 'Tool freeze ups/reload' situations. So, why if the ARM64 environment is intact, is there so many Tool freeze session blocking reset periods? And what is the obvious solution? (ARM 64 tool, app option, MS profile implemented and log functional)*
