Firefox updated last night and now my bookmarks feature is not working. All of my previous bookmarks are missing. I tried syncing several times to no avail.

 Also, I tried several times to "Bookmark Current Tab" and that feature does not work.  Nothing pops up to select where to file bookmark and when I go back to check, there are still no entries in the Bookmarks. 
 I checked, and I am signed in with my Gmail account.
 When I select a new tab, none of the icons for previously used websites are below the Google search bar.

'bold text'bold textHow do I fix this step by step? To create an AppArmor profile for Firefox:

In /etc/apparmor.d/, create a file with the name firefox-local

In the file, add the following:

  1. This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
  2. application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>, include <tunables/global> profile firefox-local /home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater} flags=(unconfined) { userns, # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details. include if exists <local/firefox> }


Replace <USER> with your Linux user name. This assumes the Firefox install is at $HOME/bin/

Once you have saved the file, run sudo systemctl restart apparmor.service in the Linux terminal.

I have just bought a new computer running the latest version of Win 11pro and the latest version of Firefox is installed. When I click on a mailto link it will not open, I have looked on the internet and as usual the instructions to do this and the you will see this, bear no resemblance to the reality of what I see on the screen and statements such as alter this but it does not say how. This is extremely annoying to this 80 year old non computer literate person especially when the mailto link works on my old computer running Win7 pro with the same email and internet programs installed. I have Edge, Opera and Firefox as internet browsers and use Thunderbird as my email program. Can anybody explain ALL the steps to be taken in plain English to cure this problem please?

Tor browser 14.5.8 (based on Mozilla Firefox 128.14.0esr) LibreWolf 143.0.3-1 Each uses 100% of a CPU thread on Linux Debian 13 (Trixie) with KDE, while internet is not accessible for hours. I have tried to open new empty tab and close single website tab in Tor browser, but that did not decrease the load. Firefox 140.3.1esr also uses around 100% when i count up all its CPU threads load.

Can anyone reproduce this? Maybe the browser needs to run for some time so the issue is reproducible. If you have idea what to try (i will not use different Firefox version), let me know exact steps.

Hallo, ich habe nun schon mehrfach versucht meine Sprache im Settings umzustellen. Habe mich genau an die Anleitung gehalten. Aber ich bekomme einfach nicht die Sprache umgestellt. Ich will es auf Deutsch umstellen aber es bleibt alles beim englisch. Ich habe Cache schon gelöscht, habe meinen VPN ausgeschaltet und mehrfach den PC hochgefahren. Was läuft da bei mir falsch. Da ich kein englisch kann ist es etwas schwierig hier alles dann zu verstehen. Ich benutze Linux Ubuntu. Danke für die Hilfe.

Guten Tag zusammen,

ich verwende Firefox 143.04. unter Windows und sortiere Lesezeichen in der Lesezeichen-Symbolleiste als Baumstruktur mit 1-2 Ebenen. Beim Anlegen eines neuen Lesezeichens aus einer geöffneten Seite via [Strg+D] wird es automatisch angelegt und in der Lesezeichenleiste gespeichert. Bis hier ist alles soweit okay, auch wenn ich mir hier einen kurzen Dialog gewünscht hätte.

Wenn dieses neue Lesezeichen per Maus (Drag and Drop) in die Ordnerstruktur eingefügt werden soll, klappt sich der Ordner im Baum auf, sobald man mit dem angefassten Lesezeichen in die Nähe kommt. Gut.

Aber: Wenn mit diesem "am Haken hängenden" Lesezeichen in der Ordnerstruktur nach rechts in die nächste Ebene navigiert wird (Ordner klappen nach rechts auf und zeigen die bereits darin befindlichen Lesezeichen), dann schließt sich diese Ansicht und man muss mit dem Lesezeichen am Haken nochmal von vorne / oben anfangen.

Das ist ultra nervig und die Sensibilität des Programms war früher nicht so filigran eingestellt.

Es gibt sicher auch einen workaround (Lesezeichen-Verwaltung separat öffnen), aber das ändert nichts an dem veränderten Verhalten und ich umständlich. Haben Sie evt. ähnliche Erfahrungen oder Berichte anderer Benutzer? Anbei im Screenshot dargestellt der Weg.

Idee / Wunsch: Können Sie die Empfindlichkeit beim Ziehen von Lesezeichen etwas "entschärfen" oder eine simplere Eingabemöglichkeit implementieren (z.B. jede Ebene durch eine Mausgeste fixieren, sodass die nicht "unter der Nase zugeht")?

Besten Dank vorab.

Für Fragen bin ich gerne offen. Beste Grüße!
