Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I just wiped windows and lost my bookmarks, passwords, and the like. I looked into the support options, as well Firefox profiles (about:profiles) but can't seem to get that data back. It's odd to me that it didn't sync because I also wiped windows last month and it recovered all of my data as soon as I signed into my Firefox account,so I was hoping that would happen again.

Any way to get this back?

Thank you.

I can change font size in general via Firefox settings, BUT! whenever I want to download a file from any given website, the download window that appears, in which I can navigate to a folder on my computer and choose a name for the file, has such super small font!!! And to make it worse, the text largely is in a soft gray rather than a nice strong black!

SO hard to read.

I would love an easy way to make this font always bigger for all these situations. If anyone can provide the solution I'm super grateful!

Some web sites such as Amazon have an options bars to select items like 'review order'. When the web page first comes up, they show white in the dark bar. But Firefox is immediately changing the white to purple so that it is almost impossible to read. I haven't been able to find anything in settings to correct this. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.

To preface this, I am on MacOS.

I noticed a small delay before starting videos while I have my AirPods connected. There are a few scenarios where this delay does not exist: - Any other browser - Audio is actively playing elsewhere - Mic is in use (like a zoom meeting in the background, even when muted) - Audio is muted

I have tried safe-mode, reinstalling, and even messing with the config, to no avail. I know for sure this is isolated to Firefox, and I believe it's due to how audio devices are handled. I would rather my videos immediately play rather than wait for a "health" check from my connected device, even if there isn't audio for that time period.

so I personally never use the Download Directory, because I anyway always select the Download location. but even though I set the location to XYZ it creates a ~/Download Directory. I Also tired to set the default download location directly to my Home directory, but it still creates the ~/Download Directory.

I am not sure if it's a bug or if I can disable it, or if Firefox need too do it. but it becomes annoying to always delete the ~/Download Directory.

maybe it is an OS septic problem? (ArchLinux btw) but I highly doubt that.

so why does it always, and I mean always create a ~/Download Directory when I download, even though I never selected it, it's Just empty e.c.t.

I am confused, because I have been unable to access google drive and Gmail, for a while now because every time I go to the website it says we have detected a problem with your cookie settings, I have tried default settings, and entering safe mode on Firefox, but neither worked. I would much appreciate assistance.

When on laptop, I want to synchronize account to desktop. I try to log on but need to get authorization code. The code takes an unreasonable amount of time to arrive, to my phone sms or email. Please allow me to use a different way of logging in so that I don't have time to forget what I'm doing... signed grumpy old man Cheers, George

Firefox Version 139.0.4 (64-bit)

Its been an issue for me for quite a while. Seems to occur for some websites. But it's getting to a point where it feels like every website is encountering this issue.

Firefox does a good job storing password and usernames when creating said username and password. But it will never suggest a username...

A similar topic is, how can I make firefox autofill username for websites?

When logging in to a website that I use many times every day all day, all of a sudden I log on and all I get is a blank white screen. I have tried clearing everything, restarting Firefox, removing Firefox and re-installing it, rebooting the computer, starting Firefox in the safe mode but no change. The same problem shows up on three different computers on two different networks with two different ISPs. The website opens normally on Edge and Chrome. I would prefer to be able to use Firefox. Using version 139.0.4 (64-bit) on all three computers. I would really appreciate any help that is available.

I have noticed recently that when i try to play certain videos i am sent that are embedded on webpages the screen just goes black and i cannot see anything but i can still hear the video playing in the background. Why is this happening. I have a new HP envy laptop and am using firefox browser but when i use my work laptop which does not have firefox (IBM Thinkpad) i do not face this issue therefore i assume it is a setting in firefox

I am sitting in hospital with a weird problem. The connection is open and thus not secure. I have successfully connected my 2 android devices, however my Windows Asus laptop is being barred by firefox. I only run firefox. It is a dead end because firefox refuses to allow me to access the net at all. So now I have to get my wife to go and download chrome and see whether that will work. Why can I not override as u understand the risks I also use Norton 360 with its VPN.

how do i get some addons i downloaded to move up to a tool bar where i can use them when needed ? a few i would like to put up there are, ohms law calculator ,web xr api emulator , flash player forever , antiscammer the tool bar i up loaded below is where i would like them put ;;i hope this makes since to you, thank you

Google suggestion in Firefox's address bar keep showing Japanese suggestions even though I chose English and Canada as language and location with my google account.

I use same google account with google chrome, but google chrome doesn't show Japanese suggestion.

As for setting on Firefox, I unticked other than "show search suggestions".

How do I resolve it?

Thank you.
