For first time received email from breach-alerts@mozilla.com. Title is: Your monthly Mozilla Monitor report. Is this a scam? Other people have asked this question and Mozilla Firefox company has not made any attempt to answer these serious questions. If I do not hear back from Mozilla Firefox within a week I might remove Mozilla Firefox and use another company.

Hello, FF 139.0.4 on MAC Sequoia15.5. Lost ALL references to bookmarks, i.e. Bookmarks Toolbar totally gone. How can/do I restore from .jsonlz4 file in bookmarkbackups. Also, will I be able to salvage my previous profile, presumably containing my older "Tabs on Bottom" work-around? Alternatively, is there a process to restore JUST Firefox from Time Machine? Appreciate any advice.

I just got a new Epson 3-in-one printer and tried to sign up for the warranty. I got a message that the warranty was expired... I went to the Epson support site on Firefox and Malwarebytes blocked the site as malware... It said I could add the site as approved, but I don't know how to do that. "https://www.epsoncom.com/my-account/home". The Epson site said I already had an account but my password was incorrect. I had an Epson printer more than ten years ago; I don't remember the password and they don't provide an option to reset it. HELP, PLEASE.

Google suggestion in Firefox's address bar keep showing Japanese suggestions even though I chose English and Canada as language and location with my google account.

I use same google account with google chrome, but google chrome doesn't show Japanese suggestion.

As for setting on Firefox, I unticked other than "show search suggestions".

How do I resolve it?

Thank you.

Hello,

I'm a bit out of ideas how I can get Firefox to display the correct characters. For reference: https://learnjapanese.moe/font/

Windows: I only have german and japanese locale installed, i even changed in intl.cpl the language to japanese. I have installed the japanese language pack / fonts and it's showing correctly in any windows editor.

Firefox: Second language set to japanese, disabled all addons, tried it on private mode to no success.

Any ideas how I get the characters to display?

Edit: I made it work by changing in about:config the font.cjk_pref_fallback_order-string to have ja as first.

I'd like to ask about Firefox's behavior and settings. I'm using Firefox with vertical tabs (using an add-on), but it seems to be behaving strangely. The things that have changed since before are: 1. Open from pinned tab 2. Now opens in a new tab → Previously it opened in the same tab 3. Clicking on a newly opened tab opens a new tab again → Previously it would open pinned tabs/same tabs → in a new tab It has changed. I haven't changed any of my Firefox settings. Windows 11 Home 23H2 Firefox version 139.0.4 (64-bit).

Periodically I open Friefox and all my cookies have been deleted. I go into settings to find "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" has been checked (NOT BY ME!) again. This is very annoying as I then have to log into all my websites and go through 2FA. This is annoying to the point that I am posting on this site for help. Next step is find a new browser that doesn't screw up my work-flow randomly for no reason.

- Had 3 windows open with numerous tabs and tab groups - Firefox sync was enabled, as well as a 2-3 plugins AFAIK - Version installed is latest as of this writing 139.0.4 - Initial crash caused by opening and quickly closing (IF that succeeded before crash) a onedrive share link - Cannot start firefox any more, also not in safe mode - the only thing that works is launching it with a fresh profile.

The report ID is bp-a8c824fc-a7fb-4290-a72b-b63160250620

Ideally I can resolve this without needing to refresh or start over with a new profile

The AI chatbot is back in my sidebar. I did not opt in to this. I would prefer not to roll back to whichever version of Firefox is before the AI it's-a-feature-not-a-bug got wedged in; what other options do I have for permanently disabling AI?

Going to sidebar settings to hide the AI chatbot does not suffice. Evidence: I did that already, it has been undone, and I cannot now find the toggle in question.

Personally I vote for yanking it out of the main browser altogether, so people have to actively choose to install the AI chatbot add-on. But my question is about actions I can take myself.
