Firefoxs always shows that the computer is a Windows 10 operating system. It has been a Windows 11 ever since windows 11 came out. How do I correct this? It screws up all the time.

About two months ago, after various Windows and Firefox updates, I can no longer make Firefox the default browser. In Windows Default Apps the only option for FF is to make it the default program for Adobe Acrobat Document. Choosing Make FF Default through the browser does not work either. Additionally, I’ tried numerous suggestions, using AI help offered by both FF and Chrome, without success.

The OS is not allowing me to make Firefox the default browser. Is there any way around this?

Any suggestions?

Firefox: 155.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Pro Version: 25H2 OS build: 26200.9278

Thanks

How do I make firefox my default browser when using search bar on task bar for windows 11. Although all my settings have the default browser as firefox microsoft, edge is what comes up when I use the taskbar search window.

I have Firefox 15.3.0.1 on two computers. One one, when I go to about:config, there is a search bar with an option to "Show only modified preferences." On the other computer this search bar is missing. How can I make it display on the second computer?

Using Windows 11. Recently all of my bookmarks have stopped working. They appear labeled correctly, but with a "globe" like icon and no longer function. I'm logged in and hit sync, but nothing seems to restore them.

I've attached image showing my tool bar. This impacts all of my bookmarked sites.

Hoping you can advise. Thanks Brian email: [redacted from public]

Is anyone else having problems after last update? UI too big for my laptop and most things not adjustable. Almost unusable any way to fix? Version 153.0.3 Everything is blocky like on Gmail left side too big and takes up 30% of screen. No way to adjust it.

Top of Screen where menu bar is , home screen options, Mobile Bookmarks and tabs is way to big and forces you to have to use the vertical tabs. I often work with multiple tabs and find it annoying to have to enlarge and shrink the vertical tabs when ever I want to switch tabs. Real Pain in the you know where.

I have been using firefox for many years and Love it. but if these issues persist, I might have to finally begin considering other options.

I would hate having to switch to Chrome. I dislike using that browser even thou most websites are being designed around it, which is inconvenient, but I have tried to tow the line and be loyal to my favorite opensource browser.

Please help. Any suggestions welcome.

My bank required me to turn off my pop-up blocker, so that it could do something I needed. Now that is done. But i don't know how to toggle the pop-up blocker back on to activate it.

Please return my homescreen to my settings. I use the toolbar constantly and now I cannot even find it. Do not help me anymore.!!!!!! I need my toolbar and get rid of the garbage you put on my page.

After browsing the internet, i find new stuff on my screen. Then I have to spend time deleting all the shortcuts I don't want. I have the home screen set the way I want it and don't want it to arbitrarily add short cuts I don't want or need. I hate it when it messes up what I have set.
