Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

Can anyone help. A forced update was done to firefox and when relaunching it was like I had never used it before. All bookmarks and passwords were gone. When logging onto my account not record of my bookmarks. When looking on my desktop there was nothing there either. Is there anyway to get these back?

Thanks

Nachdem ich Mozilla VPN heruntergeladen und installiert hatte, stürzte mein Firefox Browser regelmäßig beim Start ab, so das ich Mozilla VPN wieder deinstallieren musste um überhaupt wieder in Firefox zu gelangen ?????

Since the most recent update installed on Firefox, my homepage no longer loads on opening the browser. Instead, a blank page loads, and I have to hit the home button in order to get to my home page. I've checked and none of my settings have changed, so don't see what else it can be other than some kind of bug?

Since your last update on 13th Feb 2026, we have not been able to receive any emails on the computer. All phones and iPads do ! We keep seeing "Captcha " requesting us to match items, etc., then when we do and get them all right, it pops up a message "Oops, Something went wrong." Our Wi-Fi provider, Spark.co.nz, suggested that Firefox has something like a firewall stopping the emails from coming through. Your thoughts or comments would be appreciated. We have used other "Browsers" which allow them to do so, but would rather have Mozilla Firefox, which gives us no problem whatsoever with all other Apps and Websites.

Kind Regards.

This happens on Firefox for Linux Mint 149.0 (64-bit) brand new profile.

This occurs when there are multiple tabs open to the point that they need to be resized after closing a tab.

When I attempt to close another tab with a middle click, all the tabs are resized on the mouse click down action. The tab that is newly under the cursor when middle click is released is closed. This is causing unintended tabs to be closed.

Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

The past 2 days When watching Peacock, after a commercial is done it freezes but yet the show is back on. Only way to watch the show is to move the mouse after all commercials. So this is new. I watched peacock on EDGE, no glitches. I checked my speed test...all is good. Frustrating, i'm used to firefox....so FIREFOX is not compatible to Peacock. and i installed Firefox again since it was running slow, crashing glitches,& non responsive...

I have previously enjoyed firefox very much. After the latest update I am now unable to login to bluehost, nor can i copy from chatgpt any more. What happened. I can do the same in Chrome.

is there a way to revert the changes that have been made on ver 149 regarding the scrolling? I'm trying to scroll some really long sites and when I just touch either my magic mouse or my macbook trackpad scrolling jumps to the end. Up to version 148.02 there was no problem. I've check it on 2 machines with macos sequoia and the problem is valid.

I just got a new laptop and installed Firefox 149 on it, but I can't get it looking and working like I want it to. It syncs with my desktop Firefox for my bookmarks and history, but the Bookmark Toolbar is in the wrong place, above the address and menu bar.

Most annoying is that I can't see my tabs......I can scroll through them with Ctl-Tab, but I can't see them laid out at the top of the screen, and I can't manually choose or close any tab. My bookmark toolbar looks like where I expect the tabs to be.......I thought that Firefox was automatically opening all the bookmarks in my toolbar into tabs, but if that were the case I would scroll through them with Ctl-Tab, which I cannot. That appears to be the toolbar, not open tabs.

So......the toolbar is above the menu bar, not below it, and my tabs aren't visible. My bookmark toolbar setting is set to "always show",

Sorry folks, this is really confusing for me and it kind of snuck up on me like fading breaks on a car.

"This" computer is my main one and I use it the most.

I load youtube and get the usual list of suggestions. If I moved my mouse over any, they would start to play and I would "preview" them on that screen. I could select if I wanted the audio and subtitles.

All was good.

Fire fox has updated and the O/S has also over time and "recently" the "preview" stopped. (Oh well. Such is life.) I didn't think much of it.

Then the other day I was on ANOTHER machine (different O/S, similar/same plugins) and loaded youtube just for the sake of it and as I moved the mouse over the clips: I got the "preview".

I've shared the data from this machine. Kind of difficult to do it in/on THIS post from the OTHER machine also.

For clarity: It used to work. I didn't change any settings in any of the plugins/addons or FF settings. They were "working" as I wanted and so there was no reason to change them. I am guessing this is a "easy thing to fix" but the specifics of what I need to do is beyond me at this point.

I'd appreciate some guidance in how t find the difference between the two machine's settings so I can get the preview to work again.

Just to put it out there too: I have a "squillion" tabs open. They all seem to work and unless I really get carried away with things, Firefox 95% of the time behaves itself. Now and then it "locks up" and stops responding. The best solution is a total reboot and restart.
