Firefox Community Forum

I have Privacy & Security set to Strict with Cookies and Site Data deleted when the browser is closed with only 3 sites in the exclusion tab. I also use a VPN to assist with masking and for connections to defined systems and as part of that I will randomly set it to different countries 'because I can'.

I was looking at the website for the current Rugby World Cup (https://www.rugbyworldcup.com) but it was showing the wrong times for the matches. A little digging showed it had remembered my location from some point last week when the VPN was active and set to Iceland.

There is nothing I can find in my browser settings to permit this and I would appreciate pointers to check further since one of the reasons I have set the higher level of restrictions in my browser is to stop this kind of activity from websites.

Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

Hello people,

I have a problem. At the moment I am running a Firefox version 143 on Linux with different windows. At the top left you can then select which windows you want to use. Only now it has disappeared. You get a home page. I have tried several solutions. Anyway, how do you get the rest back? Thanks.

I have a number of old ReayNas Duo machines which I cannot afford to replace. Until recently they worked fine with Firefox after setting TLS to 1. Now, although I can log in, the menus done' work. Instead of taking you to the menu item the they close the menu & add 'Duo' to the page title. This is repeated each time you try to use a menu. The only exception is the 'logs' option, which seems to operate correctly. I'm using Firefox 143,0,1 on Linux Mint 22.2.

I have a few questions regarding the auto-update policy of extensions installed via ExtensionSettings with the force_installed installation mode.

1. Can the extension receive auto-updates just like extensions installed through normal means? (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org)

1. If so, will the user be notified when the extension requests new permissions?

1. 1. System:

• • OS**: Debian (trixie)
  • Firefox version**: 148.0.b2
  • Audio works outside of Firefox **: yes
  • Audio works in Firefox **: no

1. 1. Taken steps:

1. Cleared cookies, cache, history 2. Restarted firefox 3. Started in "troubleshoot" mode

None of the steps worked and the sound is not beeing played (only in Firefox. Outside of firefox the sound works)

Version/OS: It happens across multiple Firefox versions, currently 140.3.1esr (64-bit) I should not use latest version because it is not recommended. On my Debian Linux 13 i recommended to install packages from a stable repository.

Issue: when i type some phrase into address bar to search for it, it opens a search engine homepage https://searx.rhscz.eu not search results page. I have added the SE to FF by visiting its search page, click address bar, empty it, click drop-down menu, select currently opened SE.

When I try the same search process using address bar for the second time and onward, then it opens search results page correctly. I think that this issue happens only on 1st search attempt since browser start.
