I see in one of the past recent updates, I notice that "- Original Profile" is in the windows and not just the title of the website I'm on. Any way to remove it? It looks off and not necessary to me.

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.

Hello Firefox community, I use Firefox Desktop on two devices — one for work and one for personal use. I’d like to have different bookmark toolbars on each device, but they keep syncing and becoming identical. Is there a way to prevent this (without turning off Sync entirely)? Or is it simply not possible to use more than one Firefox Desktop setup with different bookmark toolbars under the same account? Many thanks! Eva

Is there a way for me to opt out of any new "AI" functionality/features that would otherwise be enabled by default? Like the tab suggestions and perplexity in search. Having AI shoved down my throat from every corner of the internet is kind of frustrating.

Is there a way to copy + paste tabs from phones and tablets?

I love Firefox for Mac, but, on iPad and iPhone, it's impossible to use extensions such as Winger to save tabs. Too many times, I've lost 100 to 200 tabs at once, and so I switched back on iPad and iPhone to Safari. I never had a problem with Safari's built-in window-tab saver on iPad and iPhone but lost thousands of tabs on Mac, hence my move to Firefox on Mac.

On Firefox on Mac, when I click on Firefox View, I can view tabs from other devices, but there's no way to copy multiple tab links at once (you have to go one by one). If I ever were to shift back to Firefox for iPad and iPhone, does anyone know of a way to easily save 100 to 200 tabs from these devices?

I would rather use Firefox because I can't stand how Safari opens links from outside Safari, forcing the use of some new default window over the named window I already have open. It's so much work to micro-manage this browser.

Thank you kindly and enjoy a super day!

Every time I accidentally close Firefox I lose all my saved groups on reopening. I can see they are still there but cannot see how to open them. They are such a great innovation. Please make it easier to restore them from previous sessions. Going through a search history and restoring them one by one is hugely time consuming when they are already there and just inaccessible. btw, I tried using scrounger (via troubleshooting) but the "Save List" is greyed out.

Don't want searches to use ai

I want to avoid any 'ai assist' searches because I do not find their summaries accurate or valuable enough to be worth the environmental impact they consume. I know my web browser searches are not under the control of firefox, but for privacy and security I kill cookies when I end browsing sessions. So I am not staying logged in to search engines when I finish my sessions, and setting my preferences to 'no ai assist' on DDG doesn't last session to session because the search engine defaults to 'ai assist' searches now, as does google.

Are there any search engines that do not use ai?

Has anyone written an extension/add-on to FF that would add 'minus ai' to all my searches no matter what browser I use? Or otherwise indicate to search engines that I do not want ai-assisted summaries period?

We've got various privacy options built into FF--this is why it is my preference always--and it would be LOVELY to have a 'no ai' option too.

I went on Apple app store and there are many Firefox downloads from which to choose. I have an iphone 15 Max Pro and the version the internet said to choose isn't among those on Apple's app. You've sent me links and don't seem accessible, at least for me. My iphone is currently Safari/Bing. Mac is Firefox/Bing. Thanks much, Avril Levinsohn [email removed]@nyc.rr.com

When I want to duplicate a tab, can I configure the 'duplicated' tab so it appears exactly next to the tab I'm duplicating instead of at the end of all the open tabs at the far right end of my browser? If I can't would it be too much of a bother to include that as an option we can configure? Maybe it's ridiculous or I'm using the interface wrong but it's super annoying to have to manually grab the duplicated tab and scoot it back next to the tab you duplicated from. Thanks!

I've been using the firefox broswer on a mac for the last couple years and I installed the duckduckgo search feature into firefox today, also firefox updated today when i turned my computer on so I'm not sure which one is the culprit but I lost all of my bookmarks and saved form data. Is there a way I can get my bookmarks back? I wasn't using an account or signed in ever but would that info be saved on my computer?

To sign into Chatgbt I used my google account. Mozilla asks me "do I want to store info in persistent storage?" I click "learn more" about persistent storage. It takes me to a page that has zero mention of the words "persistent storage". That is a huge UX error. It says to me that really, you don't want me to know about persistent storage, and prefer that I remain confused and feel forced to agree to things I may not really want to, because you're making it difficult to understand what's actually involved. Not cool. Definitely now considering changing my browser after over 20 years.
