Firefox Community Forum

I have various shortcuts saved on the shortcut page comes up after logging in. Its set to 2 rows.. I use it every day. Used it this morning and working perfectly. Been out and when I came back the page is totally blank. I've tried sytem restore to 5th October but makes no difference. I use Windows 10 and read that Firefox are continuing to support Windows 10 I'm visually impaired and use a desktop PC with a large screen. I'm not PC techically knowledgeable. How do I restore my shortcuts or how do I re create them?

Why doesn't Firefox recognize my correct location? It gives me the weather for Chicago, IL on my homepage. I don't live in IL. MS Windows and Edge have my correct location, so why doesn't Firefox?

I have tried to change weather location on my Firefox homepage by putting in the correct town and state, then hitting the search icon but nothing happens, although once I was redirected to the AcuWeather site.

This is not that big a deal as I can get my weather on my Samsung phone, but it is puzzling.

Thanks for your time--Maureen

Good morning. I opened up Firefox this morning and all 4 rows of shortcuts were missing. I have gone into settings and made sure the settings for 4 rows was still the same. I cannot find them anywhere. Please help

There are some recent very popular images that are upsetting for me personally. Is there are way to keep the RECOMMENDED STORIES active but hid certain (or all) images?

I am trying to download videos from a site that I newly subscribed to. The videos do stream perfectly. The files do not download as video files and will not open at all. When I click on the download link, there is no recognition of a download happening and when I check my files later I have an "internet" file showing with a title but without a video file extension and nothing will open. The file extension is ".html". I am following the step by step instructions from the site involved. Other sites videos are downloading as expected.

Does firefox need to be my default browser? Any suggestions how to remedy this without losing what is working? Are there plug-ins that can address this issue?

Thanks.

How can I activate my camera during a meeting on microsoft teams? I clicked the upper right camera icon in the teams toolbar during the meeting and it won;t turn on.

Since the Firefox 135.0 update loaded during the second week of February 2025, only the first tab displays short-cut tile rows ~ but thereafter all tabs are blank now.

What is going on?

A recent update removed all of my most frequently visited sites and replaced them with garbage sites, even emails. Is there any way to get them back? That feature was so useful it was the main reason I've stayed with Firefox. It also won't let me remove the ones I don't want to see on that home page. It ignores "delete from history" and "remove" both.

Не получается закрепить свой ярлык на новой вкладке из-за недавних просмотренных сайтов.Я убираю их, а их как будто бесконечное количество.Возможно ли сделать так же, как и на Chrome, убрать недавние просмотры и оставить те, которые закрепил? Я новичок в этом браузере и исследовал до этого форум, но нечего схожего не нашёл, так что не сердитесь на меня.

I've pinned several websites to the Firefox icon in the taskbar by dragging the padlock icon on the left of the address bar and dropping it on the Firefox icon in the taskbar. Right click the icon to see them.

Is there any way I can edit the names to something more meaningful (see screenshot)?

After using the "recent browsing" menu in the top left corner of FF and opening certain websites from the "import tabs from other devices" menu it has completely broken a handful of websites on my PC entirely, even using other browsers.

The page will load but no content is displayed, no links or media, just a blank white page. This is consistent among these websites even among other browsers including Chrome and Edge.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF multiple times, cleared cache/history, hard PC resets, refreshed FF, Uninstalled and reinstalled every browser. The issue persists.

These websites still function perfectly fine on mobile FF and Chrome. I've exhausted website permissions, app permissions, etc. The issue still persists. These websites were functioning just minutes before I tried importing them from the other devices tabs. Something about that functionality has completely broken them on my PC.

I've noticed on several of my pc's running win10 & win11 the AP news shortcut has been added to the new tab page when I have not gone to the AP News site on either PC. If I have "sponsored shortcuts" off and I don't use AP news ever, how did it end up on my shortcuts?

How do I remove the little pins that have appeared on each of my icons on the home page? I don't want to unpin them, just remove the pin image - too busy and disturbing. All my icons are pinned items.

Don't know how to describe the issue. I leave the computer on all night. In the morning, when I move the mouse to activate the screen, there is a large, 3-panel image with links to various websites. Today's panels are titled "Daily Wonder," "Hats Off to the Class of '25," and "Markets." A click on any of these panels takes me to a website. No idea how these panels are produced or by whom. If I try to take a screenshot, the images disappear and my normal home screen is shown. I do not recognize anything in the Task Manager that might explain this. Not sure if this is a Windows issue or a Firefox issue. Perhaps another user can ask me questions that will lead to more information.
