Please tell what creates the folder "Other Bookmarks", its function and the purpose that it is created. I do not put any there, yet there are dozens and I am ignorant of its proper use. I see sites that I might have visited, but still do not know how they got there. Thanks in advance for enlightenment of a user, especially the built in protections.

Any Ideas what is going on? About July 21st, 2025 I started noticing with a couple of browser tabs open, a new tab opens autonomously and flitters in the new tab name area, what "looks like a TagID", then closes by itself. I define "looks like a TagID" as something that looks like a tag at end of article link in popular newsletters I see, and appears in the url bar of the linked article.

The occurrence of the new tab happens when I open the browser, within 1 minute and occurs randomly during the session, perhaps every 20 minutes.

My first suspect/assumption is I am always signed into Mozilla when I open Firefox 141.0 (64 bit), processing an update now, Aug 5 2025. I have subscriptions to VPN and Monitor and I have sync (passwords and bookmarks) with my mobile instance of Android Samsung Galaxy phone.

My Desktop is set up as Windows 11 pro with one employer InTune acount for Microsoft but I limit that work to Edge browser.

I'm trying to access a local web application (GoPhish) running at https://127.0.0.1:3333 on Kali Linux. Firefox is showing a security warning and won't let me access the site . How can l bypass this warning safely, or add an exception for local addresses with self-singned certificates?

I have few website on main screen for quick access. Oneof them twitch.tv. But only for this website somehow I need to click it 2 times to open the website (only when opening browser first time for the day). For all rest it's enough to do 1 click.

Hi.

I have a problem with minimizing the Firefox window on a MacBook (M1, 2020, Tahoe26, FF 141.0.2 (aarch64). After launching the browser, using Command+M for the first time works and the window moves to the taskbar normally. When the FF window returns, the shortcut stops working and the Command+M Thumbnail option becomes grayed out. It doesn't matter if FF is in fullscreen mode or not - the shortcut only works the first time. ____________ Cześć. Problem dotyczy minimalizowania okna Firefox na MacBook (M1, 2020, Tahoe26, FF 141.0.2 (aarch64). Po uruchomieniu przeglądarki, za pierwszym razem użyciu Command+M skrót działa i okno normalnie przechodzi do paska. Po powrocie okna FF, skrót przestaje działać, a opcja Miniaturka Command M staje się nieaktywna. Nie ma znaczenia, czy FF jest w trybie pełnoekranowym, czy nie - skrót działa tylko pierwszy raz.

The autocomplete function on my Firefox is not working. When I go to any web site where I have to type in my email address Firefox does not offer to complete my email address as I start typing it.

Yes, I have my settings activated at Privacy&Security > Autofill > Save and Fill Addresses > Saved addresses with all my information including my email address.

The autofill (autocomplete) function does not work even when I try to log into https://accounts.firefox.com/oauth!

All I want is for Firefox to offer to complete my email address when I start typing it ANYWHERE. Please help me with this. Thank you.

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to www.epos.mp.gov.in. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

Sync works fine between my Android phone and my devices, in that I can see open tabs on the phone from both devices. But what does not work is sync between the laptop and desktop. They are both listed as connected devices along with the phone, both are signed in, both synch with the phone but neither will sync with the other, so I can't see the open tabs on either device. Is this an issue or is it by design? Thank you.

Firefox stops loading pages. I try to browse a webpage and it just keeps loading, but nothing happens (black screen). I open chrome, request the same webpage, it loads immediately. In Firefox, it keeps loading. Sometimes it loads it after 1-2 minutes. Sometimes not. Problem is fixed after restarting firefox, but comes back again after some time.

After upgrading my 128 esr to 140 esr, some sites stopped opening. In regular versions, it has not opened for a long time. There are many such sites, for example, qwen3.app or temp-mail.io. It thinks for a long time and finally a message that the time has expired. Chromium is ok.

bonjour, Lorsque je me connecte à ma banque, certaines pages ne s'affichent pas alors que je n'ai pas le même problème avec "chrome " par exemple. je suis sous W10. je peux donc consulter les offres de la banque mais pas les pages relatives à mes comptes bancaires ou à la messagerie ! Je n'ai pas non plus ce problème avec mon smartphone, donc uniquement sur mon PC avec Mozilla. Merci pour votre réponse.

Hello. I uninstalled Firefox but am left with a folder called, in translation, 'Old data of the program Firefox', which I can't delete. I can't change any authorization settings and I can't open it as an administrator. Please, help me get rid of it from my desktop. Thank you. /Greg/
