Good morning, When I load a TastyTrade Website: The Firefox browser starts blinking black and white and never loads the page. I tried troubleshooting myself:

- Open Settings → Performance. - Uncheck the two enabled options. - Reload the browser.

It worked once, but when I reloaded Tasty Trade, the problem returned. Please advise. Thanks.

Hello, I noticed that my system disk free space was declining. After some checks I found that underr

C:\Users\François\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wjZDDDl0.Profil 1\storage\to-be-removed

were a lot of directory with GBo of data. In may I deleted all these subdirectories and went from 23 to 33 Go free space Yesterday same thing I went from 25 to 41 Go free space.

Why are these files keeping accumulating and are not removed automatically as per name ? Thanks. I'm using Windows 11 Famille Version 25H2 Installé le 25/11/2024 Build du système d’exploitation 26200.8737 Pack de fonctionnalités Pack d’expérience de fonctionnalités Windows 1000.26100.334.0

and Firefox 152.0.5 (64 bits)

I just noticed today that my drop down from my address bar no longer had anything to offer. So I went to my history in my MAIN profile and there is not a single entry. I can type in a URL to say amazon.com, and without even closing Firefox, I can clear the address bar and type ama and NOTHING!!!. Instead of messing around with any files in particular I went to my MAIN profile, because my second profile which isn't used often seems to be just fine. I deleted every file in that folder. I took out my external SSD which I backed up on June 22 and copied all the files from it into the empty profile. I then opened up Firefox and voila, it appears all my history was there. Then just to double-check myself I started typing and nothing. I hadn't even closed Firefox and once again, all my history is now gone. Does anybody have any thoughts?

I even deleted Places.sqlite, places.sqlite-shm, and places.sqlite-wal so that Firefox would rebuild them. After they reappeared I overwrote Places.sqlite with a backup but none of that helped. That was an AI suggestion, as I am not that well versed.

Thank You, Bruce

I'm on Windows 11. After I added some plug-ins and extensions to replace the ones that went missing during your last update, my bookmarks also went missing. (They were there before I replaced the plug-ins and extensions.) I followed your instructions on how to access my bookmark back ups, and found them. However, everytime, I tried to install one of the backups, I ended up with no bookmarks at all in Firefox.

Please help, I have no access to any of my accounts!

Thanks,

Charlotte

My checking acct was hacked on GOOGLE EM yesterday- person charged a HP laptop to my checking account. Thankfully, my credit union alert phoned me to confirm this purchase and did not distribute the $1275 charge. I phoned them and they filed a fraud report and blocked my card. They advised I contact HP and 'CANCEL" this fraudulent charge. I phoned the number for HP on the email I received confirming my purchase and a second HP email saying my payment was declined. I was forwarded to their FRAUD dept, agent. Who took my name, phone and address. Then advised me that they cancelled the purchase and it had NOT been a completed bank transaction.

I am gettingHUNDREDS of spams daily. I used up the 5000 BLOCKS they allow over a year ago. SICK OF GOOGLE porn, fake US GOVT, and CASINO deposits as well as coming from all over the GLOBE into my email. I do send everone of the fake US GOVT email to Fraud report website I do report SPAM and also PHISHING on each one of these hundreds daily...soooooo tired of GOOGLE SHITMAIL! Please tell me safest email to use.

Also, 2nd request. Can you help me understand WHY even though I DO have my Firefox settings to save open tabs when I close or shut down, as well as to OPEN FIREFOX whenever I restart my computer...neither are working!

ALSO, 3rd request I have gmail set for email receivt onFirefox. and there are two areas to conduct a search FIREFOX in the center of the screen and of course the top line access to enter a search query...whenever I type in the FIREFOX Box to conduct a search it automatically goes to the upper entry box.

I am 79, a former educator, and have vg mental health still, YET, I HATE MORE AND MORE USING the computer and the cellphone, as there seems daily to be something that does not work and going to settings and reading each area to figure out what is wrong or why this happened is too difficult to read, to do, to recall withoug having to PRINT OUT EACH DIRECTION.

Yes, perhaps, I too have become a dinosaur and my mind is NOT calibrated to the CONSTANT UPDATES and changes demanded using new computer and phone technologies.

I thank GOD we do have people LIKE YOU TECHIES to try to help us GET IT RIGHT.

I changed ISP's this week and my computer connects via Ethernet cable through my router. I have no real issues accessing the internet. But after waking from sleep or restarting, Firefox displays the network login prompt. How do I get rid of it? Thanks.

I would like to install the Pangram extension to Firefox. Can you check it to see if it is ok? It seem like a reliable company and I think it will help me sort out AI generated content from human.

I recently noticed that EVERY pdf I open for reading is being saved in my computer's Downloads folder! DESPITE my Settings "Ask where to save files before downloading" and "Ask to open or save files." I am enrolled in an online certification program: There is LOTS of reading. LOTS of information being shared through the class portal. I just discovered this mess a couple of weeks ago.

Today, I added a check mark to Other Files under Settings: "Delete private window downloads on close." I'm hoping this will resolve the problem. Am I missing something??? WHY is my longtime browser doing me like this?

FYI: I'm using the Windows 11 OS on my six-year-old laptop. My Firefox (152.0.5) stays current.

On my personal computer, I have a Profile for work and I was logged in via a Mozilla account using my work email address

I've recently set up a similar thing on my work computer. Signed in using Mozilla account. I have since noticed that on my personal computer it says "Account disconnected."

I'd like to sign in again and sync them so that I always see the same settings, shortcuts, open tabs etc on both computers. But if I sign in right now, will I lose the customizations I've made on the work computer? Which computer will it consider to be the "source" of the newly synced information?
