According to this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly it defines that, when Editing, I should be able to press Home and End to navigate to the start and end of the lines I am on.

Is that an error? I cannot use the Home and End keys at all in this very textarea I am typing in. Command-Left/Command-Right work, but not Home/End.

I have not changed any mappings of my keyboard, and I'm not using any addons. Restarting the browser in troubleshoot mode does not change the behavior.

I've read innumerable posts about this saying to remap it to Command-Left, but I don't want to do that. I want Home to scroll to the top of the page when I am browsing, and to go to the beginning of the line when typing. This is the behavior on Windows, and it should be consistent across versions. If I remap it, then the Home key goes Back a page, which is terrible.

Also no I'm not in caret mode.

I am not sure - I was not expcting a question from you. I was filling a Micro soft question naire about the change to Windows 11, as that would ruin me, with myeyes, and I was filling their form, in which they asked me to give a contact addres s from a list, and there was yours in the list and I ticked it. That's all.

With my near blindness, I may have made some mistake in their quesitonaaire... if so could you please send this to Microsoft? With my contact details?!

Thankyou.

I am experiencing an issue with the Keeper browser extension on Mozilla Firefox. Despite configuring all related settings appropriately, the extension consistently locks out every time I close the browser.

To troubleshoot, I have:

Verified that the extension is enabled and fully allowed in Firefox’s Extension settings.

Ensured that Keeper is whitelisted in every possible relevant setting within the browser.

Checked that the "stay logged in" or persistent session options are correctly set within Keeper’s own configuration.

Confirmed that no conflicting privacy settings or third-party add-ons are interfering with the extension's functionality.

Despite these measures, the extension does not retain its logged-in state upon browser closure. This behavior suggests a persistent session issue not aligned with the user-side configuration.

I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this.

After letting Firefox idle for a bit (like 5 seconds) and nothing playing on the screen, when I come back, it causes screen stuttering for my whole desktop. Disabling hardware hardware acceleration doesn't help much.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.14.5-arch1-1 Display (CMN1521): 1920x1080 @ 144 Hz in 15" [Built-in] WM: Hyprland 0.49.0 (Wayland) CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H (20) @ 4.70 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile [Discrete]

How do I prevent any and all inline animations from autoplay? When I right-click the offending image there are options for "Play" and "Loop". I can stop the animation by unchecking "Loop" but I do not want it to play ever. I only want to see static images on a web page unless I initiate the animation.

I cannot log in to Firefox and get the tabs I had when I logged out. I get a brand new page and can log in as I please, starting with tab 1. I've looked at every possible entry under the 3 ... menu, and ever entry under File. I've restarted the computer, etc.

I commonly keep windows I am using as reference for research I'm doing and don't add every item to a bookmark until I've conclude which I should keep. This same event happened a year ago and I'm quitting Firefox after close to 30 year of use unless I can recover, and learn what caused this.

It has opened and closed fine literally hundreds of times, now it's as if erased the past but will reopen fine and start over without having to download Firefox again.

I'd rather recover than start over. Help if you can, please.

I had dozens and dozens of bookmarks saved, which I backed up a few days ago, and saved the .json file to my desktop.

When I went to open them this morning, they were all gone. I imported the file to restore them, but none of my saved bookmarks returned. It seemed to import a state from 2024.

I have scoured these forums and tried everything that was sugggested, even tips from different forums.

Did this happen because I didn't have a Mozilla account (until now)?

Please please help. I don't have any profile data saved on my computer and I need my bookmarks back!

I am using an extension to monitor websites. I would like to start it as homepage. Unfortuantely, it does not come up active. It requires a manual reload (Ctrl-R) because it doesn't fully start.

Is it possible to automate this initial reload?

If not, can the extension developer force the reload on browser startup?

Thanks

I'm in the process of exporting my FireFox bookmarks as html files.

In this process I noticed that everytime I save (export bookmarks as html) as a file a location on my disk, then open up that file to inspect/check - I notice that FireFox appends to the exported file rather than replace. Even though it asks if I want to replace the existing file during the save dialogue.

I'm using win 8.1

So, that's fine I though, 'let's' just delete that file and start over. Long story short, it does not work; I did the following.

Before closing FireFox I went into FireFox settings and click on all catagories of History - and cleared. I then closed FireFox then in Windows Explorer went to where the original file (exported html bookmarks), and deleted that file directly from windows.

I then opened up FireFox again and exported the my bookmarks as html to the same location again. Even though that destination no longer has a file from before - when I reopen the just now newly export html bookmark file - I see the contents are the same as before - (I has the appended/duplicated html bookmarks).

It's like instead of exporting the bookmarks I actually see in FireFox, it is referring to some saved information somewhere instead and saving that.

How can I export what bookmarks and folders I actually see in FireFox instead of some internal bookmarks/folders FireFox thinks I have - In other words - is there some file I can delete or setting to clear?

Thanks.

My Mac shut down unexpectedly. Upon rebooting the newest version of Firefox - 138.0.1 was installed. All of my bookmarks have disappeared. I tried to restore from a backup but when I hit restore in the manage bookmarks window it says "choose file" but it lists no files to choose from. I found multiple backup files by accessing my Firefox profile via finder. However when I try to open them with Firefox it displays a blank page and nothing in the bookmarks tab. Is it possible that the bookmark files have also been deleted from the backups as well? If not, how do I transfer these files to the active bookmark tab in the menu bar other than using the restore function which offers no files to choose from?

I have moved to a new laptop and followed the advice in how to back up and restore to transfer history and bookmarks. However only a small part of the history and bookmarks have come across

Jag har en iMac och jag har en Airbook. Båda har Firefox, på samma konto dvs sitter samman. Ändå skiljer vissa saker. Detta är en fråga om språket. Ett litet problem är att på airbook'en förstår inte firefox att jag vill skriva på svenska. Tex i denna ruta där frågan ställs markerar den vartenda ord och tycker det är dålig engelska dvs stryker under med rött.

Jag har jämfört inställningarna de bägge datorerna emellan. Har Firefox addon (tillägg) för Svenska. En märklig sak är att det verkar omöjligt att ta bort engelska språkpaketet om det finns där (den dator där det funkar saknar engelska tillägget som extra alternativ). Om jag klickar på något av de markerade orden här och kollar "språk" så anges att det är engelska - varför har inte svenska språkpaketet gått in, fast det står som installerat om man ser via tilläggens inställningar (där endast valet "ta bort", dvs är tillagt).

Detta dyker endast upp via Firefox, ej Chrome, alltså inte djupare i datorns inställningar om dess språk utan förefaller vara direkt en bugg eller felinställning i just Firefox. Men VAR? Varför får datorn för sig att jag försöker skriva på engelska, när svenska är installerat och inställt för.
