My Firefox Browser Icon has disappeared, how do I get it back? My system runs Windows 10. My copy of Firefox is still listed/installed in my control panel but the FireFox Icon just vanished.

I noticed earlier this week that one of my extensions is still having a major bug, despite said bug being patched a month ago and the update being approved already. The extension was set to auto update, so I tried disabling it and checking for updates manually. Firefox said an update was available, so I hit update and nothing happened. Even after waiting 10 minutes, refreshing `about:addons` and even restarting firefox, the update was not installed. I can't check dev tools for information on what happened either since they are handled by the firefox app itself instead of the `about:addons` page. So I turned off auto update for all extensions to see if it was just that one that was having an issue, but none of my extensions have been updating. 11 updates available, none able to install. The only way I could get an extension to be up to date was by completely reinstalling it, which removes all extension data and thus is not an option.

Your new home page "recommended stories" are now categorized under topics (Popular, Science, Education, etc.) I blocked the category of "politics" and it no longer shows that category in the customization menu as an option. Furthermore, there was a Travel category that I wanted to see regularly but it has completely disappeared (as of today)! (I was just reading from it last night!) So frustrating.

I went into the settings to see if I could coral these categories, but both politics and travel are missing from the list. Please see attached screen shot from the customization settings tab. Furthermore, I'd like to know if these "topics" can be saved in the order that I'd like to see them.

I'd appreciate any help. thanks.

Hello,

Pixel 8 und Pixel 10 Android 16 und 15

when I want to download a podcast from ARD Podcast, I can click "Download," but the "Download" button is missing from the subsequent window. With Duckduck, it's no problem.

Hello, I'm bilingual French/English. I browse in French, 90 % of the time (Using Firefox and DuckDuckGo). Unfortunately, more and more often, search results bring up sites which are obviously produced by AI sources for an English-speaking audience then automatically translated into French., which isn't what I'm looking for. For instance, If I look for some information on a medical condition, I get tons of answers from unknown and dubious sources and the content is very obviously Ai-related and translated into French. It's as if all the trustworthy sites (in English or French language) I used to easily access have been downgraded and sent to the bottom of the web never to be accessed again. This is really frightening. Any clues how to avoid this, or are we now locked against our will into the AI grasp ?

I have these printers.

"HP LaserJet M109-M112" (the Windows default) "HP LaserJet 1020"

Regardless of the value of print.sav_print_settings, the first print dialog after starting Firefox shows "HP LaserJet 1020".

If I manually put "HP LaserJet M109-M112" (no quotes) in print_printer, it reverts to "HP LaserJet 1020" the next time Firefox starts.

How do I make "HP LaserJet M109-M112" Firefox's default? Thanks.

A few things are going on since I put Firefox on this Mac, and I'm not sure if they're related:

• I can't import my logins.csv
• any time I try to save a new login, the little blue "password saved" notification pops up, but no passwords are saved
• when I try to pair with my mobile, Firefox won't display the QR code, and instead it's blurred out and says "Pairing unsuccessful. Try Again."
• more recently (last week or so, maybe?) the desktop browser logs me out of my account every day or two

Desktop and mobile are the most recent versions.

in Settings under "Applications" i had the "Do Nothing" options chosen for several file types, to prevent automatically getting kick to a different app every time i opened certain webpages (ie Telegram links). the "Always Ask" option is available but that also disrupts workflow with the popup box and no quick keyboard shortcut to dismiss it. i am about to downgrade i am so frustrated about this. i have several hundred pages to go through, and it should be as easy asopening the pasge and selecting text, but now each time the page opens, i'm forced to either switch apps or manually dismiss a popup.

I'm on Linux and have been using Firefox since I switched over. The first thing I disabled was restoring tabs because I never need it/find it annoying. I noticed that every time I would restart my computer with Firefox open it would restore the session. I understand that this happens because Firefox sees it as a crash so I changed the following settings:

• browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash from `true` to `false`
• browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo from `5` to `0`
• browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo from `25` to `0`
• browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes from `1` to `0`

I changed those according to this guide: https://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Completely_disabling_session_store

Unfortunately any time I restart my computer with Firefox open it resumes my session. Is there any other way to turn this off? Theres no way all of these settings do nothing.

I also deleted the contents of sessionstore-backups in the profile folder but it just recreates the files after a while.

My goal is to be able to restart and shutdown with Firefox open and not have to worry about it restoring tabs.

Everytime firefox updates I lose my passwords to my sites. This is becoming disgusting. Now I have lost passwords to my google mail, that is when I go to log in, it not to be found. Firefox used to be so easy to use and my passwords and ID were saved on the websites I use, but not any more. It makes using firefox to log into websites I use so much harder and INEFFICIENT.
