Firefox-Hilfeforum

Hi There

I think my Firefox upgraded and now all my bookmarks have disappeared. I tried to restore them but I keep on gettina message saying "unable to process backup file".

Please help.

How can I put bookmarks in the toolbar at the top where it used to be? When I bookmark to the toolbar I can omly find them by clicking Bookmarks and clicking on toolbar in the drop down.

The initial handshake takes typically a couple seconds in Firefox, while it takes in Chrome or Safari typically < 1s to display the first content.

Here an example of opening firefox.org: https://share.firefox.dev/3jpZRG4

I've tried all the recommended procedures without any success (personal mode, disabling extensions, starting with clean profile, ...)

Even this form I had to send twice because there was a timeout when sending the data up.

My internet connection is always > 30Mbps, so that should not be a problem.

Hi.

Two things keep happening in the Firefox preferences menu on my MacBook Pro, Every couple of days or so.

1. The default setting for Home > Homepage and new windows reverts to Firefox home (default) even though I have set the URL to which i want FF to go when I launch it.

1. Likewise, I set the Default search engine to Google, but it (along with the above) defaults the Browser default (Yahoo!). I have to reset it + go to the Search Shortcuts list and remove the Browser default.

This started happening suddenly a few months ago. Finally, I got irritated enough to ask for help here.

Thanks for your help.

Sometimes some texts in Firefox looks corrupted (see screnshot) Seems that it is a font issue because I can copy corrupted text and it is ok in buffer. Other browsers display same pages correctly.

Account forms downloaded from bank and paypal show form information, but no data. Called bank and paypal and no solution. What can I do? iMac OS High Sierra 10.13.6. Thanks.

This happens regularly for me, about 3 or 4 times per day. It used to be exclusively when I'm visiting https://translate.google.com. Today, however, it is also happening on twitter.com.

When it happens however, it has always been when I'm navigating to one of those domains in open tab that I was using. Also, it has always been when I'm relying on the bar's autocomplete (for example, when I start typing "tra" and the rest is auto completed to translate.google.com) and I tap the Enter key. No amount of refreshes fixes the problem even if I disable cache (I disabled it from the network inspector in the web developer tools). There's only one warning message in the console saying "This error page has no error code in its security info". Also, even if I change URLs while under any of these 2 domains in that "broken" tab, I keep getting a blocked page. Changing to another domain, for example, google.com works. For example, If I change from https://translate.google.com to: - https://twitter.com gives a broken page - https://twitter.com/firefox gives a broken page - https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=Hello%20word&op=translate gives a broken page - https://support.mozilla.org works

However, if I just go to the url bar and tap "Alt" + "Enter", the page successfully opens in a new tab.

I'm using Firefox on Mac.

every time i close down out of firefox, weither its to shut down computer or to simply sign our of firefox, when i sign back in again, all my bookmarks, websites i have saved every is gone, i don't understand everytime i sign out i have to refind everything,...why does this keep happening?

I have a MacBook Pro and lately advertising tabs just pop up out of nowhere. My laptop can be in use or out of use and they will usually pop up 2 tabs at a time. How can I stop them?

Thanks for any help you can give me, they are driving me nuts!

On MacOS, latest version of Big Sur, and latest Firefox and Firefox Nightly (tested both), media controls are not working as intended. I have media controls enabled in the options:config, and every other browser I have (Safari, Chrome) work perfectly fine. I tested on a few sites such as Youtube, Youtube Music, etc. The only information Firefox passes to the OS's media center (now playing in the menu bar) is the name of the video, but not the time / current time / album art. I really rely on this for controlling my music, so any help would be appreciated =)

Hi, I have the the Tabs setting to "Open links in tabs instead of windows." Problem is despite that setting, it continues to open links in windows. How can I fix that or should I send a message to Firefox? Thanks
