Firefox Community Forum

When I go to my churches web site, the name line, password line and the sign in button don't show up. All I see is the picture of Jesus that I see on the top of the page when I use google.

We thought this is simple. But it looks like we need to have words explained to us. Setting firefox to never remember history makes it produce some claims that it looks like it developers aren't really aware of the meaning of. Setting it to "Never remember history" makes it automatically check "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" and "Based on your history settings, Firefox deletes cookies and site data from your session when you close the browser.". After having done that firefox forces a restart. We use it a little bit and close it again. Then open it up and re-enable "Remember history". It will force another restart, and then suddenly remember all the things it was told not to remember. Like automatically relogging into google for you, opening tabs, and things like that.

So. Can someone explain to us the meaning of the words "forget", "never", "history", "clear", "cookies and site data", "every time", "close firefox", "deletes", "close the browser". We thought it couldn't be more obvious that what the user intends with these settings is for you to delete the user data. Like you claim you do. And then you wonder why people say firefox is bought and payed for by google. If anyone of you can find the time to take your tongues out of google long enough to define these words for us we would forever be thankful. Can please someone please teach us please english please?

And once again an update messed up Firefox, at least I hope that is all that it messed up. Update 140.14 is the recent one I am referring too. My bookmarks are gone, I can't restore my computer to a previous version either because all file history has been deleted also. Can anyone help?

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

Dear Support,

Firefox exhibits significant performance and usability issues related to its cookie and data storage management. Despite implementing ad blocker extensions, the browser remains saturated with cookies and persistent advertisements. Regularly clearing browsing data and cookies is necessary; however, navigating to the settings menu is time-consuming. I recommend developing a browser widget that facilitates rapid data clearing directly from the toolbar or frame. Additionally, implementing a session-saving feature to preserve a set of pinned tabs upon closing and reopening the browser would enhance workflow efficiency, allowing for a quick start with a predefined workspace.

This is all happening while using it for simple tasks like search or copying a text.

Furthermore, the browser experiences severe performance degradation when utilizing certain web applications, such as Kapwing for video editing. Since uninstalling Vivaldi, I am considering migrating to an alternative browser due to these issues. Tasks that typically require one minute are now prolonged to hours, as the browser intermittently becomes unresponsive, effectively limiting usability. This sluggishness persists even after system restarts, with CPU utilization reaching approximately 50%, as detailed in the attached performance report. Notably, I encountered a significant delay—up to an hour—to correct a single spelling error or open a new tab, indicative of underlying performance bottlenecks.

Please address these issues to improve browser stability and usability.

Estimator Just tell me how long this is probably gonna take: 4 to 16 hours. Not kidding!

7/7/2026 Last night Firefox on my laptop performed an automatic update to the latest Firefox version. The new Firefox has a very bad setting in about;config .. this new Firefox can only show 1 tab ... it is opening up a new tab on top of the first tab, making it impossible to have more than 1 tab ..

This is going cause problems for thousands of Firefox users .. . how I fix this problem ... I tried setting the add tab settings into about;config to add a new tab to the right of the current tab, but my change made no difference ... how can I fix this problem ... does Firefox have a plan on how to fix for this problem for thousands of Firefox users.. this problem will impact thousands of Firefox users..

Enhanced Tracking Protection is stopping me from accessing many websites which, on other browsers including Firefox for Android, have nothing wrong with them - UK Met Office, forums, webcomics, Patreon... In many places, it's stopping me from connecting to the website altogether, or even logging into desktop app services when I have to use a browser link to log in; the login process simply doesn't resolve. I've tried disabling and removing extensions, changing settings, refreshing the browser and clearing the startup cache, but nothing seems to help. I cannot work out what's wrong, and I cannot disable Enhanced Tracking Protection. I'm having to send this message via TOR browser, because on Firefox, the Mozilla Support site is reduced to just text and links, with no frames or images, and barely navigable. This also means I can't pull Troubleshooting data direct from my Firefox browser for this form, because the form page's display is also broken on Firefox; I may be able to provide troubleshooting data on request, but I will require step-by-step guidance.

I don't know what to do, and I need help.
