Firefox Community Forum

As above--I have tried recommended methods ie manage bookmarks<save to HTLM file<import/export --I can send HTML file to new pc via email but cannot get it any further what am I doing wrong or failing to do? Not exactly a whiz kid but know a little about this (obviously not enough!) </p>

I have loaded Firefox on another IMac and when I scan a document I lose the browser. I would like the browser to stay on the desktop so that I can attache the document direct to my email

I have always used Firefox for everything. Suddenly it quit uploading photos to eBay correctly. I am now using Brave to upload photos and Firefox to do everything else. Is this a known problem? Are there any fixes? TIA

Multiple profiles are for different behaviour on the same, say Linux device, with different settings How does this interact with syncing? E.g., I want different settings, but the tabs should be synced?

Good morning,

I have been experiencing many issue in reopening closed tabs from the history menu after closing firefox. I can click it, but nothing happens. It ends up with me reopening sometimes 30+ tabs manually, which so inconvenient.

Any lead?

Thanks in advance

I've been using You Tube for many years now and a week ago You Tube just stopped the videos. Well I tried and tried different videos and all I get is this message. Video unavailable, this content isn't available. Try again Later and nothing happens. Can you please help me with this. Thank You

When I close a tab, and try to find it in the recently closed tabs in the history, some i just closed, and without opening even a few others, they do not show up in the recently closed tabs list, while some I closed the day before are in there even when I filter to "Today" and that after" using Firefox for less than an hour and only had.

For one I think Today doesn't do that but rather the last 24 hours or similar.

It actually has been a problem for a very long time.

I can find most of them in the "Show all History", but that defeats the purpose of the recently closed tabs option.

I am using 143.0.4 (64-bit) AKA archlinux - 1.0, on Arch Linux I update every few days.

In my case today it was a Duck Duck Go search results page.

A few days ago, my Firefox browser stopped clearing browsing data, cookies, history, cache. I am using a custom-built desktop computer with Windows 10 Home, Firefox v. 143.0.4. What is the setting I need to change so this will start clearing data again? The "Clear data and cookies" no longer works, and my search has brought up no other options that I have found. I need simple instructions, please.

I moved most of the non critical passwords from keypassXC to Firefox. I don't see in Firefox password manager how to add a comment or a valid until date. Is there a way to do this? Thank you

I imported my bookmarks.json from another computer, via e.mail as I have always done for many years and used it to Restore my bookmarks.

As it has happened a few times before the restoring went apparently well and I can find my bookmarks in the Library (via Manage Bookmarks) but the toolbar is still showing the previous content evn after restarting Firefox.

As I have done in previous cases I looked up for the places.sqlite file but could find it.

Here is what I did find:

<startcode>

My question is: "Should I delete </home/arthur/.mozilla/firefox/cajynx3c.default-release/places.sqlite> since there is no such file in the <Profile Group> folder?

I am having trouble sharing windows (presenting) with Google Meet. I used tot be able to share tabs, windows, or my whole screen, but now I can only share my whole screen.

The scrollbar slider isn't displaying correctly. If I grab the screen, zoom in, and look very carefully, it is possible to see that the slider is a very slightly different darker shade of grey to the rest of the scrollbar, but it's almost impossible to see, so something is clearly not working properly here. The scrollbar should be highly visible as it's the most often-clicked control of the entire browser.

iOS 26.1 on an iPhone SE; Google Maps 25.47.0. Links to apps don't open in-app. If I click a Google Maps link, it sends me to the App Store. If I click a link to Instagram, it sends me to the App Store. But I already have those apps! How do I make it work like it used to?

I expected "export passwords" to also export the password to my mozilla account, but it did not. I'm now locked out of my account. I signed into this form with google, is there something similar I can do to get my mozilla account back? The drive I had firefox on is wiped.

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!

Ich verwende Firefox als primären Browser aber nicht als einzigen, weil ich aus technischen und organisatorischen gründen auch andere Browser verwende. Ich hatte vor Monaten schon mal das Problem, dass Firefox beim Öffnen eines neuen Fensters oder auch bei Eingaben in die Such-Zeile = Adress-Zeile immer Yahoo gebracht hat. Ich habe es dann mit viel Recherchieren und Rumprobieren geschafft, dass in beiden Fällen Google kommt, was ich so haben will (Punkt). Jetzt kommt zumindest bei der Suchzeile wieder Yahoo und ich schaffs wieder auf die Schnelle nicht, das zu ändern. Versucht Firefox hier gegen meinen Willen Yahoo nerv-stehlend zu pushen? Wisst ihr, wie ich das aktuell wieder in meinem Sinne repariere? Wisst ihr, wie ich das dauerhaft verhindern kann, dass Firefox immer wieder Aktionen gegen meinen Willen setzt???
