Firefox Community Forum

Mon. 11/10/25 -- Good evening. Periodically, the Wallpaper option that's available when you have a new tab opened is NOT THERE. I've used your backgrounds and sometimes my own. But out of the blue, a new tab will have no background picture and when I use the pencil to open the menu, there are no wallpapers showing.

I don't see a reason for this, particularly since I haven't changed anything and no one else has access. This is a Dell Desktop, XPS 8960, fully loaded, enough of everything and running on Win 11.

So - are there limits to the graphic size used for a background? Would this be caused by a FF update? So many questions, and thanks for answering them.

BTW - I can't select the EM box below, so just send to me at: [edited email from public community support forum]

I have Firefox Settings UNCHECKED to open previous windows and tabs, yet it very often tells me it's having trouble opening previous windows and tabs.

I want it to quit trying to open previous windows and tabs on this computer. How can I do this?

I cannot get full details on my banking page with Firefox anymore. It is my primary browser . I had the issue with Chrome also when I tried it but it was ok after removing Norton web app. I removed that same app from Firefox but only get a header on USAA and nor details of my banking. What can I look for or do to remedy this? I need Firefox to show the detail as it always has done. thank you email is [edited email from public community support forum]

"If there is a problem with how this image is displayed, view it in a browser" Always goes to Microsoft edge by default. How can I make Firefox the default for viewing email messages in my browser?

Often (though not always) Firefox will prompt me to "Make Firefox your default browser" when first run or when run after being closed, despite me clicking "Set as default browser".

According to "KDE Settings / Default Applications", Firefox ESR is the default web browser and the default file association for HTML files. Firefox and Chromium (and I presume Konqueror) are installed. A similar laptop with similar software on it does not exhibit the problem.

What is Firefox actually checking to determine whether it needs to ask "Set as default browser"?

Why there is no option to use/configure a local running ai chatbot in the "Choose an AI chatbot to use in the Firefox" sidebar? Or does it exists and I didnt see it?

after a flooop update there is an annoying side bar. I want to remove it but there is no information on how to do it! can someone please help me figure this out. When I went to Flooop , it just rambled on about firefox, I am using Floop!!!! Help me if you can, thank you.

I don't know if this is the proper topic, but I'm not sure what to call it. For the longest time I've had an issue with the settings being reset every time I open the browser - all my add-ons are off, all my configurations return to the original state, every single time. I have to manually turn them on all over again every time. Does anybody else has the same issue? Can it be solved somehow? Do I need to redownload Firefox or something?

How can I get all Firefox settings as a simple table? I am sure that is how they are kept by the program, somewhere outside the Firefox UI. Are they kept in the System Registry? It would sure make troubleshooting & continuity easier when moving to new devices/CPUs.

when i open google maps, it opens to Europe. I go into the privacy and security, I clear history, cache, whatever I see that might be causing a problem. NO success. I still open to wrong location. HELP please [edited email from public]

When I go to Settings - Cookies and Site Data - Manage Data, it doesn't show all websites that have stored data. Even including for which sites I have a tab open, and I can literally see in the dev tools they have cookies and other storage. Maybe not all of them cache, but most do, and all those sites definitely have other storage like localStorage, and cookies.

How can I get the mentioned feature to *actually* show all sites that have any kind of data that I might wish to clear?

And if I find 2 or 3 sites are missing from there, how many more are missing that I'm just not noticing?...
