Suddenly all my searches in Firefox go to Gradilsk - this is stopped by my Bitdefender which states it is unsafe. If I override and go with it I have a huge number of spam attacks listed. Is Gradilsk the search engine of Firefox and if not how do I get rid of it?

Une fois que j'enregistre mes fichiers avec un nom de fichier, je ne les retrouve pas et, à la place, ce sont des birbes de phrases qui s'affichent et ne correspondent à rien. De plus, c'est un petit carré jaune qui s'affiche devant le nom du fichier que j'enregistre ! J'ai l'exemple d'u texte que j'ai enregistré à l'instant sur mon PC. Merci de m'aider.

I started noticing that Firefox was giving me a lot of "not responding" freezes the past couple of weeks. The past couple of days I basically cannot access Firefox at all - constant, immediate freezing. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling (multiple times), disabling hardware acceleration, running troubleshooter mode (still freezes! if it opens at all!), deleting profiles, restarting my computer, etc. I've done just about everything I can find online about this issue. Nothing has worked. I have no issues with Chrome or Edge.

Any suggestions??

Since FF 09/15/26 update manage cookies and data sites no longer will delete items. I click the 'save changes'. and that's it. All the cookies and data are still there. Hopefully a fix will be soon?

I’ve been forced to constantly hard stop my rig , spend hours with rebooting ,, and then using Revo to delete non MS apps ,, then download apps ,, especially FireFox Is there a permanent fix to get around the deranged tyrants at MS . Thank you

I updated my Mac to macOS Golden Gate. Tried to update Firefox from a non-admin account. It failed. Went to admin account, deleted Firefox and reinstalled from a new dmg download. All fine in the admin account. But the non-admin account (where I work day to day) won't even launch a Firefox window. It asks for admin access to install a helper. I can't see why it needs this but have given it via username and password, but it still doesn't launch. The dock icon says "Running in Background" when I hover over Firefox and the icon bounces. But no browser window

Hi I noticed that some old links in my history are automatically deleted. How to configure expiration rules (if possible) in order to keep links forever, until manual deletion? I know that links can be saved in the bookmarks, but when browsing the Internet, unless bookmarking everything :(, no one knows if a link can be useful in the future.

Thanks for your help

System: Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce Firefox web-browser: mint-001 - 1.0 _ 155.0.1 (64-bit) Hardware: Both on my Desktop and Laptop computers.

Since the recent updates, 1-2 weeks, every time I try to enter a character via Unicode insertion, CTRL+ALT+U, the character does not insert but a row break. I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/OP9UCGpZdEc

This happens in every website I use; mostly likely on every website.

Is there anything I can do now?

Thank you for your time reading this. 🙇

t takes 4 or more time to open Firefox browser. Each time I get a message that said Firefox is not responding and this locks up the programs. I reboot the systems each time and this does not help to open Firefox browser. What is causing this malfunction and how to fix it?

About a month or so, opening tabs changed. It's more annoying and less convenient now for no clear reason.

Before, when I opened 20 links in new tabs, the existing tabs were pushed to the left. Now, the new tabs disappear to the right, and I need to scroll the tabs list to see them.

This makes researching things annoying. Especially when I'm trying to find anything useful among tons of useless search results. Normally, I would see every tab that I opened. I could always instantly see by the number of open tabs and domains if I should continue the search. No tabs? I haven't found enough. Same domain? I'm probably running in circles.

To replicate this workflow, now I'd have to manually scroll every time I open a new tab, which would be mighty annoying.

Meanwhile, there's no advantage to seeing my old tabs rather than new tabs. The new tabs are always more important in the moment because I just opened them.

Can this be changed back to old behaviour in about:config, or by some arcane profile hacking?
