Once again, the Top Sites that I have chosen on the the FF Home Page have shifted, or been removed. When I add them back on (and PIN) the site shortcut is there, but now I can't get the ICON that represents the Short Cut to appear and I have no idea how to find the URL for the ShortCuts, ie., the Twitter Bird that used to appear automatically, as an example.

I tried to take a Screen Shot, but the Screen Shot does not work on the FF Home Page.

Would it be too difficult to put a "Lock" button, similar to the Windows Lock for the Task Bar. PIN does NOT work.

I have not added any extensions or made any other changes that would affect this. Please advise how to correct this, and I don't want to have to follow directions that take me all over the place like go to file such and such and check such and such. That never works and usually ends up screwing up other issues. It worked once, I don't see why it doesn't work now.

Thank you for you time and I look forward to a SIMPLE solution.

Users have desktop with "outdated browser". Automatically about 10 days past Google reformatted e mail, etc. To A slower beta google. We R dinosasauers with some things and asking the right question is everything. We want to transfer g mail to Firefox or eliminate G mail spam altogether. Is this possible?

Hi, there. I've been using FF ESR as my primary browser for over 3 years. However, I keep encountering update problem, which by clicking menu button and the pop-up update option. Then, the browser will update my 64-bit ESR into 32-bit ESR. I feel so confused and upset I have to update manually by downloading the whole new 64-bit version from official site even though a minor update. The latest version was 78.5 ESR 64-bit reinstalled along the OS on DEC. 2020, Now using 78.10 ESR 64-bit. Is there any solution for me to use pop-up update on menu option? Environment: Windows 7 ultimate SP1 64-bit Thanks!

For the third time recently, I've had to open Opera because Firefox won't display properly. This time it was camelbak.org that wouldn't display the site's Search box with Firefox, but would with Opera.

Data don`t change after press CLEAR button, why? Don`t change after restart Firefox? (clear on exit - set)

European Portuguese does not exist! There is Portuguese from Portugal that gave rise to the remaining variants according to the respective countries. That's why we should write: Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Angola), etc. Thank's.

With all the releases of FF you would think there would be defense against floating videos. Try to research the topic on the Web and the answers are all over the map and nothing I have seen really works well. These are detaching/floating videos I refer to. Hint: the fix is NOT in about:config.

Probably the most annoying aspect of the Web -- not adequately addressed.

Failure of fiduciary duties...

Dear Sir, I had Whatsapp for PC for years..., and seem no problem. Two weeks ago I can't access web.whatsapp.com anymore... Why? I'we check my firefox version and its the newest version.

Thanks

I got started using Firefox a few years ago. Once I got adjusted to the different controls, I really like using it, BUT...

I have updated it three times now (the last time was on accident after ignoring the notice for a long time). Every update breaks the browser for me. I start getting Windows that don't load - the dot just bounces but the window stays blank for hours. The browser fails to load anything. On restart I get message that Firefox failed to close properly. New windows take up to 6 or 7 tries to load a link, and the same for loading into a tab.

The first couple times I updated, I followed the guidance to save favorites, dump the browser and restart from scratch, then load everything back in. While it worked, it's a PITA for a browser that updates pretty frequently, and I think routine updates should be able to load without having to spend hours troubleshooting and reloading. I'm not stupid or computer illiterate - I manage a Linux server cluster at work, but I can't manage my Firefox at home through a routine update.

Can anyone help get Firefox to load and run properly such that it works even after an update? I hate Edge, and Internet Explorer, while easy to learn is full of security holes and often DOA at most websites these days. I refuse to go Google, and I'd prefer to not learn another browser. I like Firefox, but the post-update problems are killing me.

Hi Firefox community, I've enjoyed using Firefox for a while, and without complaint, until yesterday and I'm hoping you can help. Approximately 4 days of browser history vanished. This is unfortunate since it included research. The browser history of these approx. 4 days were visible in the sidebar window during the recent session, however when the computer was restarted the recent 4 days were completely gone. I've already tried to sort this out, but unsuccessfully so now I'm asking: Any ideas how/why this would happen and what can be done to recover this lost history? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Since the last update to Firefox, I have no sound on anything within the browser: not on videos, music channels, webinars, Zoom meetings...nothing. I have no problem when using other browsers or withing windows. Only in Firefox.

I'm using version 88.0.1 (64 bit)

When scrolling with mouse wheel up/down on windows elements (Drop-down list/select, open/save dialogs, anything that's native Windows elements) nothing happen. Then, when you click on said element, everything is suddenly jerked, like visual scrolling "catches-up" with actual scrolling. This makes everything unusable. Should I downgrade firefox? Or is there some about:config options that can help?

I ran into a problem with Firefox and I'm not sure how to get more diagnostic information.

When I have a long running session--the only time I've seen this happen is when I've started firefox in the morning and left it running all day--it stops loading pages. I.e. any navigation be it opening a bookmark, a link or reloading a page does nothing. The throbber shows activity, but nothing else happens. If I have the developer tools open, the network tab will show the initial GET request, but it never completes.

It happens very sporadically--I had disabled the only extension that interferes with page loading (Load Background Tabs Lazily) and thought that fixed it only to have the same problem about a week later. Network connectivity is fine during this instance, I can ping or use curl to reach the sites in question. Also I can see new processes spawning in Task Manager if I open the link in a new tab or window.

Given how long Firefox needs to run before exhibiting the issue and how rare it is the normal procedure of working from a fresh profile would be difficult. So I'm hoping there's something in the about:xyz pages that would shed some light on what's going on. At the moment the only thing I can think of is use wireshark to determine if Firefox is even making the request or not (and either way, that doesn't lead me to anything actionable).

Platform is Windows 7, 64-bit, Firefox 88.0.1
