The 2-year-old support page "View synced tabs from other devices" gives 2 methods for syncing all your tabs from one Windoze FF to another. Neither one does anything at all for me now. The "right-click on the device in the sidebar" sounded SO promising, but it does not cause anything at all to happen. And checking the "sync tabs" box does indeed make them all show up in the sidebar list, but does not open anything. So besides clicking on each of the hundreds of tabs listed, how can I do this, or is it just another FF functionality lost to time?

Hello, I've recently had to send my mac for full refurb. They wiped everything and I had to reinstall all applications. But after I installed and singed in to my Firefox, I could not find my bookmarks. I have searched online and followed several steps but still can't find the bookmarks. Please, can you help me recover them?

Differences in the display of Firefox and Chrome styles on the website https://aistudio.google.com. In the first photo, Chrome and the styles look as they should, but in the second photo, Firefox and the styles do not work. I understand that this is most likely the fault of Google, which has prioritized optimization for Chrome over full cross-browser compatibility, but are there any solutions to fix this?

I am unable to login to National Savings and Investments where I have premium bonds, savings certifcates and a savings account. I contacted them and they informed me that it was because of Firefox and I should use a different browser. I have cleared all cookies, caches, temporary files and browsing history but still no change. I am told that the connection has timed out and that secure.nsandi.com is taking too long to respond.

I wish to switch to a new primary laptop. I normally use multiple machines in the course of a day. I have probably hundreds of open tabs on my main computer and even though I checked "Open Tabs" for sync, they never show on my other devices.

Following previous help recommendations I searched for the json sessions file...it doesn't exist anywhere on my system. The only other "help" was to "tap" tabs in the lower right corner. There is nothing in the lower right corner unless, perhaps on a phone, which isn't the device in question.

Please help

On two different sites that use fairly high security (for example, www.experian.com), I have been unable to find a logout option when I was ready to end the session. It's hard to believe that the sites don't have a logout. I have not tried other browsers with these sites, so I don't know if this problem is unique to Firefox. Is there a workaround for this situation? Am I missing something? Merely closing the browser does not end the session. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I genuinely don’t know where else to post this so it gets seen. I have been a devout user of Firefox for years. I love this browser. I love its dedication to privacy and functionality. I love how it has kept true to its concept and customers in the face of tech crazes like NFTs and AI integrations. I am such a hardcore proseletyzer of Firefox that I started paying for Mozilla VPN to support Firefox!!

So when I see that the new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, is “doubling down” on AI integrations for Firefox, I AM LIVID. AI is NOT private. AI is NOT secure. And AI is TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

AI causes slower speed and longer load times. I have seen this in all my job’s internet workings (they insist on using browsers with AI integrations) and have felt a quiet relief that I get to come home to my good, simple browser.

AI is not private. It tracks and stores data in order to give suggestions “better for you”. And with the right prompts, anyone can pull that data.

Y’all really all read that one story of AI deleting the company’s ENTIRE DATABASE AND COMPUTER PROGRAMMING because it “panicked” and decided “ah yes, this is the techware we want to hand over all our customers to”??

I am so deeply disappointed by Mozilla’s betrayal of its customer base.

If Mozilla moves forward with AI integrations, I will pull out of using Firefox and I will stop giving Mozilla my money. Mozilla should not have hired a CEO who goes so adamantly against everything Mozilla as a company stands for.

And to the CEO Anthony: I hope you step in something wet in only your socks, every single day, until you either come to your senses or someone better replaces you as CEO of Mozilla.

Firefox 146.0.1 crashes every time upon launch (basically fails to launch), even in troubleshooting mode, with exception code 0xc0000005. Prior to today, it was working fine. Windows does not show any updates made over the last couple of days. I am on Windows 11 25H2, and I'm current with updates. Chrome works. Edge works. I logged on to the same computer as a different user (different profile folder in the user AppData folder) and Firefox still does not work. I tried to refresh Firefox and that did not resolve the issue. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox and that did not resolve the issue. I tried to run DISM and SCANNOW and that did not resolve the issue. No issues are detected with a virus scan. I am stumped - please help!

I am extremely disappointed that the new CEO Anthony Enzor-DeMeo is trying to push AI onto one of the only good browsers left that HASN’T implemented AI. The biggest reason that I switched from Google Chrome to Firefox was because Firefox wasn’t using AI. It’s unnecessary, terrible for the environment, incorrect, and I don’t want it. I will be switching to another browser if AI is implemented in Firefox’s future. Don’t bow down to AI.

I opened my computer several days ago. Firefox updated itself sometime recently while my laptop was closed. Once I opened it, it made me create a profile to continue. Now ALL of my history is deleted. All of my windows and tabs are gone. There is no history beyond the profile it made me create to continue using it. Is there any way to get back the previous history? This is about enough to make me give up on firefox completely.

When I try to access the Newsmax website, I get a black screen with the message which says,

"Secure Connection Failed The connection to www.newsmax.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." 

I have no problem accessing other sites, so what can I do to get the resolved?
