A colleague of mine had Firefox logged in with a Mozilla account, before their computer needed to be reset, we checked and Firefox said Synchronisation was on and last succeeded 1 second ago. We proceeded to undertake the reset, but after logging back into the same Mozilla account, none of the bookmarks returned, nor did any saved addresses, passwords or browser history.

I was wondering if there is absolutely anything that we can do, or whether someone at Mozilla are able to check the account just in case?

I'm fearing the worst, and partially expecting it, but wanted to log here for sanity's sake, just in case.

Many thanks Ben

Hello,

Ever since the last Firefox update (on October 30th for me), the text on my inactive tabs has been painfully blurry (picture attached). I previously restored Firefox to default and seemed to have pinpointed a certain extension as the culprit, as well as a file within the profile named addonStartup.json.lz4. Deleting both seemed to have done the trick. However, my issue is now back, I can't find the previous file anywhere in the profile, deleting all the files in the profile that were created on the day when the problem reoccured doesn't fix it either. So I'm kind of at a loss. I have tried to set "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families" to "Arial,Consolas,Courier New,Microsoft Sans Serif,Segoe UI,Tahoma,Trebuchet MS,Verdana" and "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_max_size" to 15 in about:config ; as this is an old fix I've seen for an older similar problem, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ich wollte die Beihilfestelle beim Landesamt für Finanzen aufrufen. Das ist leider nicht möglich. Könnte es sein, dass es einen Zusammenhang gibt damit , dass ich vor ein paar Tagen ein Antivirusprogramm von Avast heruntergeladen habe, nachdem ich seit Monaten dazu von Avast genötigt wurde, da mein Laptop angeblich schwere Probleme aufweisen würde. Beim Online-Banking hatte ich vor Wochen ein ähnliches Problem (das war allerdings noch vor dem Herunterladen dieses Antivirusprogramms), dass meine Zahlungen nicht verifiziert werden konnten. Nach Kontaktaufnahme mit dem Service der Bank sagte man mir, dass ich einen anderen Browser benutzen solle, da Firefox angeblich Sicherheitslücken aufweisen würde.

Hi,

I’ve noticed that Firefox can sometimes behave differently when opening websites that contain a lot of embedded media, scripts, or download-related information.

I was testing this with a site called BeeTVHub (https://beetvhub.com/) and wanted to know whether there are any Firefox settings, privacy protections, or extensions that commonly cause parts of a website to load incorrectly.

For example, are there particular settings I should check if a page loads normally in another browser but some content doesn't appear correctly in Firefox?

I’m mainly interested in understanding whether this is expected Firefox behavior or something specific to the website.

Thanks.

My Firefox is in English, but the new update page is never displayed in English,

https://www.firefox.com/pt-PT/whatsnew/general/?from_main_nav=true&version=155

Problem number 1: It should be based on the installed language.

Problem number 2: It says PT-PT but it's 100% PT-BR, What is "celular" and "privativo"?, sintax does not conform to european portuguese either.

This morning when I logged into my computer and opened Firefox, I received pop-up after pop-up message warning me that my computer had been infected with 3 viruses. When I clicked on one of the pop-ups, it took me to where I would have to pay something like $160 to fix it.

I immediately ran a virus check on my computer which showed absolutely NO THREATS. Since I these messages do not appear unless my Firefox browser is opened, I believe it is malware that potentially has invaded Mozilla.

I am reporting this, asking that you fully check this out. I am VERY careful what I click or do not click, and my system says there is nothing. Please help.

On Windows I have my bookmarks arranged in folders. On Android each folder appears multiple times, with different numbers of bookmarks. I have re-installed Firefox on my phone. I had trouble syncing so I have exported from my PC as an HTML file, copied that to my phone and imported into Firefox. At the end, when I display bookmarks it's the same as before: see attached picture.

Today I upgraded to v157 and since then can't download files properly. I thought it wasn't doing anything, but on checking my Downloads folder found that it was saving files in there but with random file names and adding .part to the end. My settings haven't changed, "always ask" is checked, but it doesn't ask me where to save, just puts it in Downloads. This has never happened before. I tried changing the file download location and it downloaded to the specified folder but still without asking). I can remove the .part and the file will open, but I don't know how to stop it doing this. I never had this problem before upgrading to 157. Can someone tell me how to fix this or is it a glitch in v157? Many thanks

How can I remove CoPilot from my FireFox browsing? Microsoft recently installed Windows 11 Pro on top of my Windows 10 Pro. Now when I do a Firefox search, it's full of useless suggestions by CoPilot AI and I can't find the simple answer I'm looking for. When I can figure out how, I'll uninstall CoPilot. Meantime, I just want Firefox search to work the way it used to.

Firefox is up to date, Windows 11.

I frequently watch BBC videos but approx one week ago, they stopped playing. I have your VPN which is usually off as it give me no advantage, (this appeared following the last update), but I've tried switching on and changing to UK location. No change.

Can you give me some suggestions please?

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange issue with Firefox when viewing a website I manage: https://lawncarelincolnne.com/ https://lawncarelincolnne.com/

The site loads, but I’m noticing some differences in how the page appears/behaves compared with other browsers. I’ve already tried clearing the cache and testing in a private window, but I’d like to understand whether this could be related to a Firefox setting, extension, or rendering issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar in Firefox? What would be the best way to troubleshoot whether the problem is browser-specific?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If I have 800mg to 1tb of browsing data it can sometimes take up to two minutes for the system to calculate and clear the data. Is this just for my system? Can you find a way to accomplish this faster? Thanks.
