Firefox Community Forum

Hello all!

According to the article [Firefox Profiles] there is supposed to be a way to manage profiles through the account icon. I do not have that option on my build 140 with windows 11.

I created profiles using the about:profiles command; however, they seem to want to be separate accounts, not profiles.

I want help to achieve the functionality as described in the article so I can stop using Edge because I need to keep my work/personal/school accounts separate.

Thanks!

Since recently 1~2 version, my Firefox keeps consume large amount of memory and release it repeatedly

Even I restart Firefox and do nothing, it will start doing this again

I use about:processes and about:memory to capture this seems the main process's "tab.query" causing this, please check

PS: sometime it will consume till system max (64GB) and cause my OS out of memory. PS2: that wave-like memory usage is cause by Firefox

I got a popup asking me to sign in to google to make sure it was me. My PW didn’t work. I made another one and I got a popup asking me to allow or deny the following: Allow Mozilla to Read, compose, send and permanently delete all your email from Google, See, edit, download and permanently delete your contacts, See, edit, share and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar. By clicking Allow, you allow this app to use your information in accordance with their respective Privacy Policies. You can change this and other account permissions at any time. I haven’t been able to get any emails after I pressed Deny. It’s been several days. HELP!!! Is this a scam???

When i starup my firefox browser All my bookmarks are gone and i dont know how to retrieve the bookmarks. do i need to setup an firefox account or what should i do? with regards

I am having Firefox crash on startup much like Firefox Desktop crashing on startup, initially in version 140, but I have downgraded to version 139 in my troubleshooting and I'm getting the same symptom.

It is frustrating that this does not seem to leave any records in the Windows event log or the Firefox crash reports, and that the fact that there's a known issue of this severity is rather hard to find.

The initial problem I was dealing with was FF kept directing me to Youtube every time I clicked on a NORMAL link in my google search. 🤷‍♀️ I tried several different links but same result....Youtube again!

This is where I went down the rabbit hole. 🙄 My first step was to get some help with my Firefox browser for this 'redirecting' issue. Under the help heading, "More Troubleshooting Information" I found "Give Firefox a Tune-Up using Refresh". Hmmm, maybe this will fix the issue?? I carefully read the following before proceeding....

"Start fresh to fix performance issues. This will remove your extensions and customizations. You WON'T LOSE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION LIKE BOOKMARKS AND PASSWORDS."

WRONG!!! MISLEADING!!! LIES LIES LIES!!! 😡😤😡

I lost almost ALL of my saved bookmarks except for TEN (the most recently used) that still remained after the refresh was completed! I literally lost over a hundred of them that I had accumulated while using Firefox for so many years!! 😲😣🤦‍♀️ 21 different folders, Home, Travel, Shopping, Banking etc, each containing 10-30 OR MORE bookmarks to sites I need to SAVE to be able to revisit later when needed. ALL GONE!!! 😡😤

I have been loyally using ONLY Firefox as my browser for 2 decades!! Now the only thing I can say about Firefox is a whole lot of curse words!!

WHY WOULD FIREFOX INCLUDE SUCH A #$@&! STATEMENT??? "You won't lose essential information like Bookmarks and Passwords"......YES YOU WILL!!!

This NEEDS TO BE REMOVED!!

Why not be an honest and reliable browser?? Include information that if you perform a refresh, you WILL lose these essentials but you might possibly be able to recover them from hidden files somewhere, but you won't easily know where to find them!! 😉

The next time I have ANY issues using Firefox I won't be 'refreshing' nothing at all!! I won't troubleshoot NOTHING!! I will just copy and save all of my bookmarks and SWITCH TO GOOGLE CHROME!! 👍

I asked for an export of my saved pocket articles and when I click on the link sent I get this:

Firefox is my default browser. I few days ago, it failed to open, and continues to do so. When I click on the icon, I get the blue spinning circle for a few seconds, then nothing. I have tried to refresh and reinstall, but nothing worked.

I need to add the extension icon back to the toolbar. It had quit functioning, so I removed it, and now I can't figure out how to add it back in. I also can't find an extension that will allow me to directly email a browser page.

Thank you!

Recently I'm having an issue with Firefox that makes it so when I try to open it, it simply refuses to do so. Say on my desktop I double click the icon it will open for a split second and then instantly close and refuse to do anything afterwards. This is very frustrating, and I haven't yet discovered a solution and would really like to be able to use Firefox again. What is really strange is that this is a persistent problem not only on my laptop but at my pc as well which are two separate devices. If anybody can help or has experience with this problem to offer incite it would deeply be appreciated.

Firefox keeps crashing, or better doesnt even open. In Task Maneger on my Windows 11 System I didnt even see the task preformed. So I tried to uninstall Firefox and reinstall Firefox, still the same Problem. I tried to refresh Firefox but it was no use. Sometimes for a brief moment of time a small window opens with the Firefox logo, for two seconds I can read the word Firefox Troubleshoot but it closes instantly. I need Firefox as my Browser and would like to have it back in use as soon as possible. Thank you for your help LH

Title, i really don't want that small icon on every new tab. You can move it in toolbar customization , but you can't remove it completely. It loads automatically when opening any tab at all , so i see it for a split second. It really bugs me.
