Firefox Community Forum

The quick links on the home page should be exactly for that QUICK LINKS! not for visited sites! also you only have four rows. OPERA have unlimited. To make matters worse, the stupid sites that I visited only once cannot be removed.

Able to sign in to Mozilla account, but cannot find Sync anywhere. Sync is OK on multiple other devices. System also seems unable to load 140.10 esr. Is it possible to sync on esr versions?

I am using Linux Mint, firefox and "Reiner SCT" hardware to sign in to german government sites using my identity card. All worked fin until firefox update from 149.0.2 to 150.0. Now I always get the error message "internal_error". I know, this message does not help much, but that is all I have. Is there anything I can try to get firefox 150.0 running or shoud I try to deinstall firefox 150.0 an install firefox 149.0.2 again? Thanks very much in advance!

On Linux Mint 22 on my desktop, the buttons in the RH top corner are tiny. I have measured the minimise line and it is under 2mm long.

I have tried various searches to see if these controls could be made larger, but most questions suggest changing the theme. I don't want to do that, and I'm sceptical that it would make any difference anyway.

Has anyone got any suggestions how they could be made bigger?

I'm using the MATE desktop.

Thank you

1- I am forced to abandon firefox browser on desktop 2- I wont quit using firefox until mozilla keep fighting against google's discrimination 3- I am forced to see no proper error message 4- No proper reason is told to wait and try later 5- This war wont end

I hate google more than any company in this world.

Now every (not just any random ) video when play for 10 seconds shows me same ugly annoying message

"Something went wrong. Refresh or try again later"

NO refresh works later after one day or even after removing all the history and saved site data. Even re install of latest firefox has no effect on google. Changing user agent is not working either. Tor browser is the only way to watch any youtube video. BIG, GREAT AND MANY THANKS TO TOR NETWORK.

Tor is left for the only way i can have a little freedom to watch youtube videos.

My pain point is that why i am forced to abandon firefox. I have been using it for decades. I love it. Its my best browser ever.,

Why chrome is the only browser to be allowed to watch videos on you tube.

Even safari when used there is always warning saying your browser will not be supported in future.

Google is creating same kind of problems in Android OS too.

My friends, Let me ask, what our future under google umbrella?

I strongly encourage you to raise voice for browsers other than chrome especially for firefox.

I use updates on linux and my firefox is always latest. There is no chance of any corruption or security risk with firefox on linux. Google intentionally forcing me to use chrome.

I want you to help me if have any clue what is going on.

i have deleted Firefox and reinstalled it. after logging in with my account i don't seem to have any details with the browser. it is fresh like new. i have tried syncing it but it is still blank as possible

On https://support.startpage.com/hc/en-us/articles/4616565301524-What-is-the-Settings-URL it states, "You can save your Startpage preferences by clicking the Save your settings button at the bottom of the Settings page." I cannot find any such button anywhere in my Settings. I want to save "-youtube -facebook -spotify -instagram" to my search parameters. Thank you!

Hey mozilla team,

I have issues with firefox sync as it doesn't sync old search history. Firefox Sync works perfectly for recent search history and chronic, but I imported an old profile (xyz.default) to firefox and logged in with my mozilla account. Started synching so that the old profile's history gets merged with the current one. It doesn't. I can see it in the imported old profile, but if I check history on another device, it's not there (aka only locally but not synced yet).

Is it generally possible to add an existing profile and then syncing it to merge it with the current search history one?

The question has been edited after doing further testing on the issue.

During the last week or so I have encountered the issue that one or more of my Firefox profiles keep resetting after every update.

I noticed there's couple of threads with similar issues already but the generic profile restore instructions are not helping at all since it seems that Firefox is actually wiping some files. I'm not currently sure what causes the files to be wiped, but it's either related to rebooting the PC or starting / closing Firefox. The file deletion also doesn't always hit the same profile either.

I'm running Firefox 150.0.1 for Arch on CachyOS.

I did a clean reinstall of Firefox. After the install I created 2 new accounts in addition to the one that's pre-created on install. All of the profiles work as expected at this point.

The profiles seem to have files in three places

• $HOME/.cache/mozilla/firefox
• $HOME/.config/mozilla/firefox
• /run/user/1000/psd/

The issue seems to be that after a reboot the files under /run/user/1000/psd/ are missing. Both of the other locations seemingly are unchanged but under $HOME/.config/mozilla/firefox the linked files claim no target in /run/user/1000/psd/ is found.

When looking at the missing files, it seems that in total 6 folders have been wiped at the time of testing. All of the wiped directories were ending as ".Profile 1" or ".default-release". Directories ending with ".Profile 2" or ".default" were still there. At this point I'm not sure what is causing this but it seems to explain why the profile is inaccessible.

Manually restoring the files under /psd/ seems to fix the missing profiles completely.

Since a few days (last week of April), when I go to Amazon Prime Video, once I log in, the thumbnail no longer display (see attached screenshot). However, when I arrive on Prime, before logging in, the thumbnails are there (but they might be actual images and not thumbnails). As soon as I log in, all thumbnails disappear and all I have is a text (might be the Alt-Text option for images).

It was working fine over the past weekend. I had a Firefox update at the beginning of the week. I think it somehow messed up my settings.

I tried several things: - clear cash (it clears everything when I close Firefox) - used different privacy settings (was at Strick) - added www.primevideo.com as exception in the privacy settings - was always use private window - had not installed any extension nor plugins - DMR was ON - most of every options were set to OFF or disabled

I tried to reinstall it through Snap Ubuntu 24.04 and it worked but the next day, the problem was back.

I installed Crome and out of the box, the thumbnails are there.

Hello, I use Firefox 150.0.1 on Linux Mint 22.3. I want to use the VPN integrated in Firefox but I don't see the VPN icon in the toolbar. How can I use the integrated VPN in this version of Firefox ? Thanks for your help.

Dell desktop running Mint Mate 22. Bookmarks missing about 50% of bootups. Saved bookmarks to both HTML and JSON during an occasion they did appear, when they next were missing attempted to restore them via Library pop-up (Manage bookmarks). I could not determine a path to direct the system to either locally saved file. In Library, selected Restore, which then asks me to choose file, but none of the data fields accepted or acted upon input. re-installed Firefox but same result. Then clicked on the saved HTML file, multiple screens flashed on the display, with multiple items in the tray. The final result was the bookmarks were all displayed as expected, but since the problem has been inconsistent, unknown whether they will display on future bootups.

Wish to have guidance on using the Library pop-up to restore saved bookmarks when they are missing. Perhaps some knowledgeable user could post a step-by-step through the restore process.

Since yesterday Firefox stopped working with Crunchyroll and Hidive and says, "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio and video on this page. Please try again later."

150.0.1 (64-bit) Bazzite Linux 6.19.14-ogc1.1.fc44.x86_64 bazzite-gnome-nvidia-open:stable v44.20260501.1 Widevine plugin is version 4.10.2934.0.

Additionally, I've disabled extensions as well, cleared the cache. I've disabled play DRM content and restarted the browser before turning it back on. I've changed from my own dns server which I see nothing being blocked to google public dns and saw no difference. Everything was working fine on Wednesday night and stopped on Thursday.

I am using firefox on linux since ~10 years. Currently running latest FF on Kubuntu. I always had setting set to forget all cookies and session details except of search history on exit.

Since approx 2-3 weeks (latest update?) those settings don't work. FF remembers everything regardless of settings I chose.

Does anyone have idea why this is happening now and how to fix it?

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 24.04 to 26.04, using Mate Desktop and Compiz compositor. I am using Firefox from the Mozilla Team PPA, currently 150.0.1. I am running custom kernel built from upstream source, currently 6.18.25. Hardware is a home brew CoffeeLake machine, i7-9700k, 64G of RAM, 2TB WD Black SSD and many TB's of spinning rust, graphics is Intel ARC B50 Pro, ASUS XONAR SE 5.1 Channel 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res 116dB SNR PCIe Gaming Sound Card. Prior to upgrading Firefox was not 100% occasionally tabs would wedge, now if I get two hours I'm doing good, I've tried disabling extensions and plugins no help. Tried with and without hardware decoding, worse without but bad no matter. Any suggestions how to get stability back?

When uploading files with Firefox, I click the upload button, and the file browser window appears to upload files.

For as long as I can remember, it always defaulted to the last folder location that I uploaded a file, but just a few days ago, it stopped working, and always defaults to my home folder.

How can I make the upload window pop up, default to the last uploaded location? My OS is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

I want to delete Preview Links. I tried going to Settings>General>Browsing, however, there is no "Browsing" section. I have a Linux Mint. I do NOT want Preview Links. Thank you.
