Hello. In the past two days I lose my tabs when I shut down Firefox. I used to be fine using the X at the top right and when I restarted the browser, all my tabs would still be there. Then they started going missing, so I started using the menu option to exit the browser. The tabs still went missing.

Then I noticed the square icon button on the extreme left and have discovered that Firefox has different windows, and that one of them (see attached image) has all my tabs in it, while the current window does not.

I cannot change Window 2 to be the current window. There is no obvious function on the page, nothing in settings and google is useless - I just get pages of discussion of how to tab between different apps on the desktop.

How do I make Window 2 the current window? See image.

Thank you

Hello I use Kahunas as an online coaching app. I am trying to make video messages but every time I try there is a pop up saying that permission is denied. I went into the firefox settings under privacy and checked the permission tab. It doesnt show any pages have recently tried to use it and it does nothing when I try and add the web address in the search field.

Over the last week, I've noticed that my Bookmarks in Firefox keep disappearing, it's happened before but they've always come back when I've closed my browser and restarted. Today I went to the Bookmarks and they've gone, I tried closing the browser and restarting my desktop computer too. I've look at every help I can but I can't get the Bookmarks back. I've got (I had) a lot of Bookmarks and preferred to go through the Bookmarks to get to the sites I want. I like Firefox but I really do need the Bookmarks to show. Also, when I tried to import my backup(s) it wouldn't do it either.

I've run Norton full scan but it found no threats.

I'm on W10 Home, 64 bit - Microsoft hasn't update in the last week so I've ruled them out too.

Would some kind person please help, I'd be most grateful as I've run out of things to try - by the way I'm not a techie.

Many thanks Christa

I want to get rid off all settings for a domain. I delete all the settings and then log in and they come right back. Specifically for Zoom but I would like to get rid of all saved settings for a domain from my logged in data. I have deleted fire fox and they just reappear. I want this to stop.

So, my browser says "managed by your organisation" at the top of the screen when it's my personal browser and really should be managed by me. I tried reinstalling but it's still there

Since the 135 update, the pinned shortcuts on the new tab are now not centered under the search bar. I've found a temporary fix in about:config (see below) but this makes the icons incredibly small. I would just like the pinned shortcuts to be centered now instead of left adjacent.

On ver 135.0, the AI chet occupies the hotkey "Ctrl + Alt + X"

Even if this feature is turned off in the settings, it will be turned on when the shortcut key is pressed

Using latest version of Firefox for PC (Version 135.0 (64-bit)). As of a few months ago, I can no longer delete suggested webpages from the address bar drop down. Per the instructions, I should be able to right click on an item and select: "Remove From Toolbar" but that option is greyed out. I have looked through the Address Bar settings and can't find a setting that affects it. Am I doing anything wrong? This problem is exactly the same on both my Windows 10 PC and my Windows 11 laptop. Both started with this issue 2 or 3 months ago.

The Context: I'm setting up a new Linux PC (Mint OS). I logged into Yahoo Mail using Firefox and clicked on the browser notification in the corner that said something like "Make Yahoo the default for mail links".

The Problem: When I click Mailto links in Firefox it takes me to a broken Yahoo Mail page. The page says "Your mail is temporarily unavailable" when that is not the case - Yahoo Mail works when I manually browse it.

Further details: I confirm that the "Applications" section of Firefox settings shows Yahoo mail as the default for mailto links. And specifically, the application details specify that the url used is: https://mail.yahoo.com/mrd/mail/any/compose?src=mailto&url=%s

i don't want to change browsers so how do i do this on firefox? Captioning for tutorial videos: Live Captions in Chrome Browser (Version 89 or Higher) Live Caption is only available in English.

         On your computer, open Chrome .
         At the top right, click More   Settings.
         At the bottom of the Settings page, click Advanced  Accessibility  Captions.
         Turn on Live Caption.

I appreciate the "Translate Selection To" in the right click context menu is in Beta. For me it works but not as well as it might. For example, I am English, my laptop is set to English, I am viewing a website in English but it has some foreign text on it, so I hightlight the text, right click and I am offered to "Translate Selection To ... Slovenian" Why???

I then have to tell it the language of the source/highlighted text and I have to tell it I want the result in English. I can accept it might not recognise the language of the source text but it is very annoying that it assumes I want it converted to Slovenian instead of the systems default language.

To make it worse, having changed the languages to those I want, it doesn't remember them and the next time I use it I'm back to square one.

This would be a really useful feature if only it was logical.
