Firefox Community Forum

TAB I am a new user of Firefox and when I open the browser today, I only had the use of one tab on each window. Yesterday, before closing for the night, I had multiple tabs. How do I get tabs so I can open multiple windows on each screen?

Gmail, Calendar, YouTube either timeout, or they render in an unusable state that looks like the html engine is broken. However, bringing up firefox in troubleshooting mode is fine. Earlier today I did update Java. Otherwise no difference. Other browsers are also fine. Firefox is my default browser so this is a bit unworkable.

For now, I will use Firefox troubleshooting mode...

Thanks David

I want to increase the drop down list to show more frequent URLs. Is there a setting that allows me to do it? I have looked and haven't found it. Also, Can I reduce the number of recent searches displayed on this panel. The recent change of adding them detracts from my usage of the drop down list.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions

I have read all your tutorials. I was unable to have an important televisit with my doctor yesterday because nothing I tried worked. I am unable to use webcam for other sites until I resolve this problem. Previously I had no problem with my webcam but recently had to get new pc with windows 11 & needs to configure my pc to address this issue. I have another appt scheduled with another doctor & need to fix this problem asap Thanks

Hi everybody, I need a bit of tech help! I have changed some images on my website but Firefox browser still displays the old images! Does anybody know how to correct this? I have the latest version of Firefox. If I use another browser the new images appear! Thanks for your help. Gazza

Every time I access the web I get a report from Norton saying "Threat secured". It attaches every single website that I open. See attachment for some exmaples (only variabole part of message shown apart from first one).This is occuring 50+ times a day but does not occur using Edge, so it appears to be related to Firefox. PLEASE help. Norton have not helped with this. Thank you- Colin O'Brien

Per title. If I go to bookmarks->bookmark this tab OR clicking the star icon in the address field I always want it to pop up and ask me where to save it, without having to remember to double click the star icon, or go edit bookmarks menu to move it.

This seems like a poor design, at least for me when more than 90% of the time I don't want it to be in the last used folder. I have been adding bookmarks for decades and it has always asked me where to save them, so muscle memory forgets to go back and edit the bookmark I just saved, and then later on I have to go back and change them all because they are never in the right folder.

I understand if I double click the star in the url it will allow me to change it, but when I'm busy I don't remember to click it again, or double click it, then my bookmark is lost and I have to go searching for it and edit it and it's a hassle.

Is there an about:config setting I've missed to re-enable this basic feature to reduce all the clicking?

I've tried browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks both false and true without any change to the behavior.

When I click on a bookmark, FF opens it in the current tab, overwriting the site I had open. I have to add a tab, then click on the bookmark to have it in a new tab. This is an annoying extra step. How to I change it? I already tried the open links in new tabs instead of windows. Makes no difference On or Off

I recently ported from chrome to firefox about 3 days ago and was tryin to access the dropdown menus on this website https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/government-id/bc-services-card/your-card/get-a-card

I realized it wasn't working so I turned off my adblocker (ublock origin), refreshed the site and still not working.

Also attempted to use troubleshoot mode and still does not work.

Cleared cache + cookies and used troubleshoot mode and nothing working still.

I lastly checked the website was working by opening the same link on chrome after all that and it works perfectly fine over there. Any ideas what could possibly be the issue?? I basically have a fresh install of firefox with no changed settings besides anything that might of been copied over from Chrome when firefox automatically asks you to migrate your stuff over, and used the troubleshoot mode + clearing cookies and cache

I travel to two different locations a few times a year. I use the same basic "computer" for each one, though they're far apart. It works through a "sneaker network," where data files, profiles, etc, are copied to a portable hard drive and then copied to the next computer, so they're fairly identical.

The problem is that this last time (and I've been doing this for perhaps about 3 years), Firefox has refused to do anything online. I can use it offline, but not online. The "work online" is unchecked, so it should be online. But it refuses to do anything.

After several Firefox reboots, windows reboots, checking everything, Firefox still does nothing.

Currently I'm using Waterfox and Edge. Both work fine. Thunderbird works fine.

I've had this problem since Tuesday night. So about 48 hours now, and nothing at all.

The way I transfer from one computer to another without losing email or current Firefox status is to copy the newest profile over, delete the old, and then copy the current program, as well.

Thus, the program is up to date, as is the profile, but all I get when I type in any address is that dot thing at the top, going side to side.

Thank you in advance.

100% of my bookmarks have disappeared. I tried backing up to older version a month ago and still no bookmarks were found. I had over 2000 bookmarks. any suggestions?? Marty
