Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I just closed FF (latest version) and opened it again and all my tabs are gone. I had a private FF window open, so I am guessing this is the cause.

Is there a way to get get them back?

Thanks

This happens often. I start Firefox, and on the home page is a list of articles linked to several different publications. So I'm generally already on a mission, but I think "I'll come back to that article later", and I go off to do what I logged in to do. And when I get back to the article a few minutes or hours later, it's gone! There is a new set of articles. The articles have all refreshed, and the one I wanted to read is gone. So can I see back to what that was? Or some other way to retrieve that article I never got to read before it went away?

About two weeks ago, Firefox started randomly hanging and would stop responding. It wouldn't let me close the program and I always have to restart my system to resolve the problem. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes after restart before it hangs, other times it will be fine for hours.

I've tried multiple solutions I've found online, carefully following instructions: clearing cookies and cache, disabling all extensions, refreshing firefox, creating a new profile, deleting specific files within the Profiles folder, etc.

I've yet to make it more than four hours without the program hanging.

Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I lost everything in a tragic housefire recently and I cannot remember the exact username I used for my Mozilla Account. Of course, this means I have also lost years of valuable Favorites and Passwords and Logins.

Is there anyway to find out what my login name was?

How can I open an ad on a one-time basis, as if there were an option when right-clicking?

Sometimes we search for something we want to buy. The ad is near the top of the search results and seems to be worth investigating.

But we can't open the ad. Our wonderful ad blocker is, like our guard dog, too zealous sometimes protecting us.

The answer I'm looking for is NOT to go into Settings, etc. That's swatting a fly with a sledge hammer.

I've tried 7 times to import my bookmarks from Chrome into Firefox. Firefox says that the import was successful each time, but the bookmarks aren't showing up in the Bookmark Tool Bar. It's only showing the older import, not the latest. If I go to one of the new pages, it shows that it is bookmarked, but the list that it belongs to is nowhere to be found....

So how do I update to the newly imported "Imported From Firefox" folder?

There is one particular website that I use quite frequently. Lately I haven't been able to log onto it without encountering a page verifying I am a human, and I can't proceed (the page just loops). This has happened on other browsers too, though I fixed the problem there by disabling my adblocker. But that doesn't help here on Firefox. Any suggestions?

recently some websites won't open. in other browsers sites open fine. problems with pinterest.com figma.com cleared the browser, deleted cookies and cache, reinstalled the browser everything opens in google chrome, i attach screenshots

Hello, Just updated to the latest FF on Windows and I want the old search engines option.

Now there's a dropdown menu to choose from, which is nice but makes a redundant click (click the dropdown and click again to chose).

Before the update, after typing a string, I would have at the bottom of the the search bar a list of the available engines, clicking one of the icons, would start the search, thus only 1 click.

Is there a way to get this back?

Thanks

To view my Firefox browsing history, I click the three horizontal lines icon (in the top right corner of the window) to open the Menu panel. I then click History then click Manage History.

How can I make the font larger?

I returned a phone that I had for 2 weeks (the phone was a Motorola G Stylus 2024, if that's even relevant), and while I did a factory reset on the phone before returning it, I am worried that my Firefox account information is still accessible through the device.

One reason why I am worried is because, when looking at synced windows open, *everything* that I had open on there was open and accessible through my account. Another reason that I am worried is because I did not log out on the device before returning it to my local Best Buy.

It'd probably be impossible to track down the exact phone that I had, but can anything be done? Should I redo my log-in password for Firefox (or even all the sites that I used on that phone) or am I worried over nothing?

In May 2025 all browsers should have removed the default styling for the h1 element when it is nested in a sectioning element (article, aside, nav, section). I went into Firefox Dev Editions user-agent style sheet and noticed that the styling for nested h1 elements is still the same. I'm wondering why that is the case, since I was under the impression that all the major browsers had completed make the necessary adjustments at the end of May 2025.

Hello,

I am having an odd issue where I see flickering bands of cyan/purple blocks whenever I scroll on a page with some video embeds. At first I thought it was related to refresh rates (240hz) as some pages flickers but it occurs at 60hz as well.

2560 X 1600 Resolution with 125% windows scaling

Steps to reproduce: 1) have settings above 2) navigate to https://store.steampowered.com/ 3) view a storefront with a video embed 4) zoom to 180% 5) scroll up and down past the video

I have a MV3 extension I created that has a popup and data that is stored in sessionstorage and extension storage.

When I use the extension in a private window it does not work because data does not persist between each time I open and close the popup.

This causes problems, for example you have I have to login each time I open the popup, instead of the auth status persisting. It works fine in a normal window though.

Is there anything I can do that allows data for an extension running in an inPrivate window to persist. (Maybe some additional manifest code / changing the browser config)
