Am I seriously supposed to enter windows safe mode to delete this folder, my machine requires a bitlocker password for me to enter safe mode in windows. I could probably do it, but I do not understand why I have to go through this insane process to remove a folder from my desktop.

I cant believe this software is capable of making a completely unremovable folder on my desktop, I don't have permission to remove a folder from my own computer? Seriously? I'm supposed to go into recovery mode in windows just to delete some firefox folder? THIS IS INSANE.

I tried restarting, changing permissions, I get access denied error. Is there anything else I can do?

We often encounter this situation: both at home and at work, I don't want the Firefox password and browsing history on my home computer to be synchronized to the Firefox on my work computer. After all, there are many private passwords and browsing histories involved at home. However, the passwords and browsing histories related to work can be synchronized to my home computer, so that we can continue to view the records from work at home However, I haven't found this function anywhere in Firefox

I've been having this problem for about 10 years. It was raised in this thread but never solved.

When I launch Firefox, several recent bookmarks that had been at the bottom of a folder have moved to the top of the folder.

When there is a field to fill in my credit card info, the info will appear and let me select the CC I want to use but when I move away from the field the CC info goes away.

I have vertical tabs turned on. Say i want to watch a movie, i press F11 or fullscreen to open it fullscreen. It makes the whole page fullscreen, but the vertical tabs remain still on the left. I want that fixed so that vertical tabs are hidden when its fullscreen.

I am trying to access my QNAP NAS configuration page within my home LAN from a newly installed Linux PC with Firefox 147.0.1. Firefox won't let me access the page, popping up an error page:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nessy.fritz.box. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

I have verified that the claimed risk is nonexistant, but Firefox does not allow me to bypass the warning. There is no "Proceed anyway" or "Advanced..." button as claimed in various help articles.

How can I convince Firefox that I know what I am doing?

NB: The same page is accessible, also with Firefox 147.0.1, from a Windows PC.

This is probably more a suggestion than a question.

In the "Home" section of the settings under "Firefox Home Content" there are two different settings for creating shortcuts for pages you visit - one under the choice of "Shortcuts" (on/off) and then just below that there is another choice for "Recent Activity" (on/off) with a sub-menu (on/off) choice for "Visited Pages".

I realize these are two different things (logo thumbnail for the first/webpage images for the second). But I find it not only redundant, but since I don't want to clutter my home page with recent visits, and I only chose the first shortcut setting, every time I visit a site, that is now added to the icons that I HAVE chosen. And worse, when I delete one, a new one pops up in its place, sometimes four or five or more times, whether I "Dismiss" or "Delete from history".

It seems to me that there should be a choice for "Sites visited" in the Shortcuts choice or not include that at all.

The only way to s top it is to fill up the rows. I'm getting there but until I do, I keep fighting with these new shortcuts popping up on their own.

I can no longer pin extensions/add-ons to the toolbar. My interface does not look like the one in the help section. I don't see a gear, I see three dots. And when I click on the three dots I don't have the option to pin to toolbar.

I am using Firefox 147.0.4 on Mac OS 26.3 Tahoe.

When backing up bookmarks to HTML - HTML Back-Up does not include the TOOLBAR Bookmarks. Please advise how to include the toolbar bookmarks in HTML format. Thank you.

Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

when I click the mic it says enable microphone permissions but where I find that in firefox settings it needs to ask for permission I can't just enable it. So how do I get the mic to work for more chatbot?

bold text'I am so fed up with these updates loosing my passwords and data, why ? All my settings are messed up and last time it took two weeks to get everything back, why? I give up total idiots for releasing updates that are sub par!

When I logged in this morning my FireFox screen had changed. The window for searches had disappeared and the "pocket" selections were all about India and its events. None of the previous options were there. What happened and how do I get back to where things were?

When I have stories (articles) recommended through Pocket on new tabs that I'm not interested in I will typically "thumbs down" or "dismiss" the story. What I have found recently is that causes them to be promoted to me more rather than less. I believe it's interpreting my interaction as engaging with the content rather than not wanting to see it again. For example, I was shown an article on American football three weeks ago and I gave it a thumbs down. Later that day it was three articles. I gave them the same thumbs down. After repeating this process for days, weeks later I'm still getting multiple articles recommended per day related to football. I've never read one out of interest, and I didn't have any recommendations related to sports until the first one I gave a thumbs down. Based on that, I'm convinced it's having the opposite than intended effect. Dismiss doesn't seem make a difference. Please give me a way to tune the algorithm to what I actually want to see, I like this feature and don't want to have to turn it off.
