How to disable the auto-adding of shortcuts feature from history to home page? It's really annoying, when I want to change my pinned shortcuts, I have to delete all auto added shorcuts (Even when the items on the screen are finished, they keep appearing in front of me, and this takes a long time). It is a must feature I think.

My primary google account's language is set to english. If I search normally, then the results are shown in english. If I open a private window and search in google, the results will try to be in the regional english and google asks if I want to switch to english every time.

I am trying to set up a new computer. I have customized the homepage and new windows to a preferred page, however I cannot customize the new tab settings. The only options for a new tab are either Firefox homepage or blank page. I am trying to find a way to have my preferred homepage open when I open a new tab.

Hello, I run Windows 11 on home computer with Firefox browser and everything was smooth for last 3 months. Just a few days ago, every time I make a search in Google, I get this “ I am no a robot “ box that I have to clean by clicking different pictures to prove that I am a human…

This is the message I get in French… Hoping someone can help because I prefer using Fire Fox than Edge… Tks guys

I have these printers.

"HP LaserJet M109-M112" (the Windows default) "HP LaserJet 1020"

Regardless of the value of print.sav_print_settings, the first print dialog after starting Firefox shows "HP LaserJet 1020".

If I manually put "HP LaserJet M109-M112" (no quotes) in print_printer, it reverts to "HP LaserJet 1020" the next time Firefox starts.

How do I make "HP LaserJet M109-M112" Firefox's default? Thanks.

Why is the icon of the bookmark constantly disappearing in the bookmark of PC world? I have repeatedly found that when I open the PC world page via this bookmark and some posts that this icon suddenly disappeared. The font of the bookmark remains and the sign is also functional but the icon is missing. With the DB browser I can restore the icon. But until the next opening of the PC world side, the game starts all over again. In Firefox 142.01 this is the only process. All other icons are stable. The icon always remains visible in my second browser Edge. I asked PC world. And they replied that everything is fine with their side. I therefore ask you to check that once. I don't understand why this is only the case with a PC world. I thank you in advance for a timely answer. Foto !! Manfred Günther

I use Adobe a lot to open pdf forms from business accounts online. Recently, when I click on the downloaded pdf, they will auto-open now, but I have to completely quit out of Adobe before a second pdf can be opened.

I thought it might be an Adobe issue, but the same thing happened with a different file type that does not use Adobe. I tried to open a downloaded picture (jpg) and could only open one, then close out of preview before opening a second picture. It is definitely a problem with the Firefox downloads and how they are being processed.

Trying to redeem an Amazon Gift card to my Amazon account and it is asking me for my PIN for Firefox/Mozilla which I don't have...won't take my password or my Microsoft PIN. Now what?

Using desktop 141.0, noticed issue of the hand pointer either not appearing, or appearing for less than a second and disappearing when hovering over buttons/urls/etc elements. Sometimes it stops being buggy for a minute or so and then goes back. I can't figure out the exact cause for this, but maybe going outside of the window of the browser ? Consistent in the safe mode, on different websites. See the gif for the visual

Is it safe to clear the Firefox(Android version) app data and caches from the device settings? I do clear both really often to free up space(some times even multiple times in a day), but i don't know if it can give problems... I don't care about my history and logins being lost since its expected, but i don't want the app to glitch, not updating or maybe lose security features or ending up with corrupted files or anything like that. Also, with the new update (142.0.1) a new look for the menu was added, i updated the app but i saw no difference, in the past when doing the clearing a new Firefox menu showed up, changes between clears(also, Firefox is my default browser, if it can help; also, could rebooting my phone after clearing data and caches give some problems?), i hope its not because of my frequent clears. Thanks to anyone who can help me figure this out, if any more info are needed i will be happy to tell you more about it. I don't know if im being paranoid or anything but better safe than sorry.

Hello Mozilla. Recently my wife and I have had a new experience with our bookmarks. When we display a list of bookmarks, part of the list runs off the page, so, we cannot see the complete list.

In the past, when we would request this list, if it was too long to display downward, it would then automatically shift upward, so that the entire list could be seen.

Has this feature been dropped or altered in anyway? Is there anything we can do to regain the feature?

We are using Ubuntu 24.04

Thanks. Curt

As of a two days ago, passkey functionality in Firefox is not working (v142.0.1 on MacOS 15.6.1). I have a passkey setup with Google, and when I sign in and the popup should appear for the passkey, it no longer does. This also causes Firefox to become unresponsive and must be force-quit. Any solutions?

Hi guys, Had Firefox as network default browser for decades. Now I have a problem with my DNS pihole filter, firefox just goes around it. I've read countless articles on how to stop this, I've tried DoH 0 and DoH 5, I've placed a file policies.json in a distribution folder. I've tied everything I can find on the net. Nothing and I do mean nothing, had the slightest effect. Firefox goes around whatever I try.

I've spent many, many hours on this please tell me how to kill this, I'm forced to use another browser at the moment, which is painful.

version 142.0.1 64bit W11.

Thank you Bob.

All, most recently I'm having problems with uploading files from my PC to respective internet platforms. It started with file uploads to ChatGPT, whatever I tried, the upload stalled and ultimately failed. Second platform was Vimeo, same problem, file upload stalled and finally failed. Such problems do not occur when using Chrome as browser, or when using Firefox via my Android. Never had such problems before. Firefox runs on latest version 142.0.1, cache is empty and all cookies deleted. System details: Desktop PC, Win 10 Pro, Vers. 22H2, all updates included. Have the same problems on a different Desktop PC. Very much appreciate you feedback and ultimately solution of the problem.

Kind regards, Hanns-Georg Büschelberger

At the end of each session, I ALWAYS delete my cookies and history. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do this. (At the moment, 2.9 kb remain.) Please advise as to how to accomplish this, and, if the problem happens again, how to remedy it.

Sincere thanks,

Getting ready to replace my computer. Is there a way to take my Firefox bookmarks and passwords along with me. I know there are 2 profiles in different directories.

c:\users\jer\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles AND c:\users\jer\appdata\local\mozilla\firefox\profiles

Don't really know difference between roaming and local, except roaming is a lot bigger.

I doubt I could copy the whole profiles as they would contain information that is about current computer and wouldn't work on new computer. However, it seems that I have read or seen there are files within these profiles that just contain my bookmarks and passwords and they can be moved to another profile.

I just need to know the name of the files that hold his information.

Any help would be appreciated.
