How can I block Google and other sites from knowing everything I do on Foxfire? Every time I visit anything that has membership Google is there asking to sign me in. I thought Foxfire was supposed to be somewhat private. Thanks!, Mark

How can I configure questions so that responses might be useful? I am specifically looking for time choices e.g. current, last six months, this year, etc.

It is November 2025. Answers for 2015 are of no use with all the changes and updates since in the past ten years.

This concerns the display of bookmarksto the the left of the main display. Fot the record, this is installed om Magea Linux, vers 9, from the OS repository, and is Firefox vers 140.4.0esr ( 64-bit). Up until recently the display was variable in width, and once the box for 'show bookarks' was ticked, the bookmarks display opened in any new ;Firefox' brought up. With the two new features, I have a pair of niggles. One, is that the new sidebar, being fixed width, cannot be reduced. Taking up more screen 'Real Estate', that I consider would be better utilised for the main panel. The other niggle, is that ticking 'Show bookmarks' is not permanent and has to be re-ticked, for any new Firefox' display. I have another machine running the same version of Mageia. I opened this today, and it, while still showing the same version of Firefox, displays the old version. Perhaps, since the Mageia support section have not yet.sent a prompt for update. My query, is. Is it possible for me to return to the old style display, or is there a setting that will do so. The new display, having several options, is possibly an advance. But, for me, bookmarks display is paramount.

Thanks, Rod Goslin

When I logged in this morning my bookmarks toolbar was gone, along with the favorite start. I have googled and followed support articles and the only thing I was able to do is get the menu bar to show along with the the bookmark menu but customizing the toolbar.

Consider the following scenario: I want to go to "nextcloud.com", so I go to the address bar and start typing. Unfortunately, I make a mistake, and the first character I type is 'b'. Firefox then offers the autocomplete "bc.co.uk", and highlights it. I type another different letter, the added autocomplete offer is replaced with the character I added, and it will try to offer another autocomplete suggestion with all the characters I have typed so far. However, I realised the 'b' was wrong, so I press <backspace> then start typing "nextcloud.com". Of course, the backspace key now only removed the autocomplete suggestion, leaving the original 'b' I typed (so I now have "bnextcloud.com"). My question: Is there a way set configure firefox so that the key sequence 'b' followed by '<backspace>' to return the address bar to the original (empty in this example) condition? If this means turning off auto-suggest, I am happy to do that, since I don't use it anyway.

Thanks.

When trying to upload a file to sharepoint or service-now, I get the following error: You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission.

The operation works in other browsers.

I have disabled all extensions and add-on's, tried in safe mode, private browsing mode, reviewed Windows security, application and system log files.

I'm not finding anything in the Web Developer Tools either.

Has anyone run into this before?

Good day I have tried all options, safe mode, disable hardware acceleration, and nothing works, I click on a link, and it opens in the same window, I even uninstalled version 144.0.2

Windows 11 Pro Ver 21H2 Firefox version is 140.4.0esr (64-bit)

Thanks for your help

I'm experiencing random (every few days) audio issues on 140.4.0esr on Debian trixie. Sound would randomly disapear. Firefox doesn't show on pavucontrol. Restaring pipewire doesn't help. To resolve I have to wipe FF profile and start from new profile. It is very annoying. What could be causing this problem?

Thank you.

After changing from Firefox to FF ESR I had to reset my password which I did not remember.

FF told me to enter my emailadress, that I would get a mail with a number to enter to get to reset my password AND that I had to enter the number within 10 minutes.

Since Friday I think I tried that 10 times. Every time the mail arrives late and the number is already invalid when I enter it.

e.g. I clicked to reset password at 18:10 but got the mail with the number only at 18:25...

I am using Firefox version 140.4.0esr (64bit) Only on Firefox: when trying to connect with Pirates' web page, I have a block which reads:

Security Connection Failed - no common encription algorithems      Error Code: ssl_error_no_cypher overlap

To The Official Site of The Pittsburgh Pirates/pirates.com:Homepage

I have tried to contact them with no luck.

Can you help?

Thanks,

How do I clear this blocked site? This only happens on Firefox - not on other browsers, and, of course, there is no website person now at the Pirates I can connect to. It's obviously a safe site.

I'm tired fixing errors which become more complex and solutions are written for people who have the time an knowledge to waste fixing these constant issues in FIREFOX, Time to change browser.

I understand that Firefox VPN will be out for test. However, it is not clear which countries it will be available from the article:

How is it planned?

Hello,

A pop-up with a QR Code suggesting to sync Firefox home page on my home computer with Firefox on my phone. I changed to a new email and I don't have access to my old one. There is no link or access on my Firefox browser security page to change it. There is a button to add a secondary email but the access code is sent to my old email address. See photos below.

Thanks so much, Silvio

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"?

Dear Firefox Support Team,

After reinstalling Firefox and logging into my account, my saved passwords, bookmarks, and other data have not synced and are missing.

I have confirmed I'm using the correct account and that sync is enabled for all data types.

Please advise on how I can recover my information. Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely
