My version of Firefox wont save History, Bookmarks or Downloads. I've made sure the privacy settings are correct and have tried reinstalling Firefox several times. It also wont let me drag a link from the address bar to the bookmark bar anymore like it used to. Any help with this would be much appreciated... Thanks!

I cannot locate Adobe Acrobat extension to install in Firefox, v143, operating within Windows 11. I had previously been able to install this extension in Firefox operating within Windows 10.

I have an old website I no longer use, but my former employee and his family have email addresses on it so I've left it up. The domain is sangelproperties.com - There are 4 pop3 email addresses set up. The WHOLE family accesses email via the web interface at sangelproperties.com/webmail (which redirects to port # based address). His wife and two daughters can login in no problem. But HIS gets rejected (user name or pw wrong). He's typed the pw in, copy and pasted, I've changed it for him to be sure it's right, etc. etc. etc. That said, I asked him to try Chrome just to eliminate the possibility that it's FF and voila he can login on ANY browser (edge, chrome) but not FF. I downloaded FF and set security to be the most zealous possible, checked, unchecked every security and privacy option, and I was ALWAYS able to login to his address no problem.

Crazy stuff. One of those "one in a million" situations. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Im using a lot of web notifications. Where can I find a list for advanced preferences options I can use on web alerts under config://about?

Bonjour, Depuis deux jours, je ne peux plus me connecter à ma banque, alors que tout fonctionnait très bien auparavant. Pouvez-vous m'en expliquer la raison et me dire ce que je dois faire. Cordialement

A little over a week ago, I noticed icons for the shortcuts on the start page started showing wrong icons for some of them. For example, gmail and reddit show youtube icons and this behavior continues even for the favorites. X(Twitter) also has a generic icon instead of the normal one. Is there a way to force refresh on these or some way to correctly apply site icons?

Old bookmarks not showing up in Firefox on new computer. It seems to merge all Edge bookmarks onto new Firefox on new computer. Is there away to get old Firefox bookmarks backed that were synched?

I upgraded to Firefox 143.0.4 and lost all of my Bookmarks. How do I find and reload my Default Profile? Also, I cannot load anything in Firefox I am forced to use Edge which I do not like at all!!!!

As the subject says Firefox wont auto update, I have to download the Firefox Installer to update.

Setting says :- Firefox is being updated by another instance

But what interface? How can I fix this? I did have Firefox portable but got rid of that and installed the full package.

Any help welcome

thank you,

Bob

Hello

When trying to visit some websites the connected server returns timeout in Firefox. Attempting exactly the same site from out Edge it answers at once.

The machine is a up to date Windows11 pc with an active Mozilla VPN.

Should I change some settings? How can I find out the reason?

I have just bought a new computer running the latest version of Win 11pro and the latest version of Firefox is installed. When I click on a mailto link it will not open, I have looked on the internet and as usual the instructions to do this and the you will see this, bear no resemblance to the reality of what I see on the screen and statements such as alter this but it does not say how. This is extremely annoying to this 80 year old non computer literate person especially when the mailto link works on my old computer running Win7 pro with the same email and internet programs installed. I have Edge, Opera and Firefox as internet browsers and use Thunderbird as my email program. Can anybody explain ALL the steps to be taken in plain English to cure this problem please?

Being able to tell anyone what's going on is almost impossible. I am thinking of deleting Firefox despite having been using it for years, a loyal customer who subscribes to your VPN. When I log in my pinned tabs do not open the web sites, I'm told I've got connection issues, I've removed the sites from tracking protection, X tells me that is an issue since it only started after the update before todays update. What is the point of pinned tabs if they don't open? If I can't resolve this issue I will use Chrome, All of my pinned sites open there I just have to get used to using another browser, I don't like Chrome very much but I'm pulling my hair out getting no joy from Firefox. There has to be a better way of contacting Firefox than spend ages online as though it's top secret! I'm using windows 11 24H2

just recently firefox has been adding pop-up summaries to each address bar open tab .... the summary is a tiny 5 or 6 word pop-up describing what that website is supposed to be doing and the pop-up appears instantly whenever the cursor contacts that tab..........how can i turn that unwanted pop-up feature OFF

dell inspiron 3910 running windows 11

So, whenever you open/close the application menu, it fades in/out respectively. It's super disgusting I don't even know why it's not disabled when I have animation effects turned off on Windows. like bruh

This actually happens on multiple UI thingies, I just realized. -_- So if there's a way to disable all these terrible things I'm open to it. (ignore the reply i made, i didn't realize i can edit my question 😹)

I recently got a new computer running W11. As always, the first thing I did was download Firefox and set it to my default browser. Then I logged in and synced. Firefox picked up some things - like my passwords, but not a single instance of history, not a single bookmark, or the tiles of frequent websites seen on the new tab page. Thinking something had gone wrong, I uninstalled FF and then reinstalled it. No change. As I was researching what to do when FF syncing fails, I realized that FF is not saving any data in history. NONE. I fiddled around with this situation for about five hours and it showed NO history of websites/pages visited. I went to a few common websites by name, typing www.ebay.com into the search bar (for example) and since that was a website I had now "frequented" I expected it to show up as a tile in the new tab page, but it didn't, even after closing it and opening it several more times to demonstrate (to FF) its frequent-ness.

What could be causing all this? I assume some settings in about:config are off, but can't find any information searching the web. No matter how I state the question, I only get responses like what to do if FF doesn't sync, NOT what to do if FF doesn't collect any history. Honestly, this is a standalone private home computer. It doesn't actually HAVE to sync with work. But it's not very useful to have a browser that collects NO history.

Sorry this is so long, and may I say, any help will be seriously appreciated.

How can I bring my bookmark toolbar back? It is on my Eset firefox page, but not on my firefox page. I'm running out of ways to get my bookmark pages back. Yes, I updated to Windows 11, now, I'm thinking that was a bad mistake. Help??? Thank you. Linda

On my windows 11 machine, Firefox requires me to re-log into my Mozilla account every few days (there is a yellow triangle on the Account extension, which when clicked, has me to log into my Mozilla account). I have tried several troubleshooting steps:

1) Create a new profile and set it as the default profile 2) Completely uninstall and reinstall Firefox using the steps in the following article, including removing user data. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer

I'm using Firefox on a Mac and my iPhone and I don't experience this issue. I am logged into my account on both devices.

Thanks,

I have WhatsApp Web pinned as a tab in Firefox, and other than that I also have a home page. Normally when I launched Firefox, only one window would open and it would have both the pinned whatsapp tab and the homepage in another tab.

Since today, now when I launch Firefox it opens two separate windows. One window only contains the pinned WhatsApp Web tab, and the other window contains the home page.

How can I make it so that when I launch Firefox only one window opens that contains both tabs? Please don't tell me this option has been inadvertently removed.... Thanks.
