bold text I have just installed Mozilla VPN but it doesn't seem to be running in the background properly. How can I verify that it is running? And how can I restart it if it isn't running? I have a Mac.

only one email kinda working now - [email 1 removed]@wolfgangforge.com (have 3 accounts total). i cannot even be sure you are getting my emails or that i am receiving any replies. when i close down ff and re-start, the email tab is gone and i must type in "https://sm1.toast.net/interface/root#/email" and login to get it running again. my most important email, [email 2 removed]@wolfgangforge.com is not. this folder has my business tabs (using the Simple Tabs add-on in ms windows 11) - about 700 tabs and about 30 groups. losing all this info would be a major disaster! it is like FF is installing for the first time and cannot find the Profiles folder. i've attached a screenshot to show the folder where the Profiles are presently kept.

***-- i need to get back my ff as it was last friday.

i looked at the session-restore, but it appears that only goes back to the immediately previous session and since that one was fouled-up also, i can't see how that would help. wolfgang 503-475-3563

The new built in VPN doesn't appear to work (tried in on bluesky to bypass age verification - im 31). Is there a way to find out which country it is placing us in?

When I am in FireFox , I go to Instagram, when I am in IG, I click on a picture I want to save, a block comes up but there is NO save image button to click on.I then have to go to Google Chrome to save pictures, I have written 3or4 time to FF but no answer. Can You help Me. [edited email from community support forum]

Hello there we are several persons here, all connected to the internet via the same box (proxy). I would like tu to use your VPN. The other persons are not interested (no comment !). If I do this, will it affect in one way or another the connection of the other persons (in which case they will kill me..... ;-) or not. Many thanks in advance Emmanuel France

there's damn near always problems, pages display funny, dont load, the browser has its own " loading circle" temp files/cache is still a problem? do you guys know its 2025 and browsers still cant handle temp files? mozilla has ZERO help. no wonder everyone uses chrome. but they suck a$$ too.

Why am I getting the message "this website is slowing your computer." Windows OS. Firefox is my Browser. One specific website that creates this problem is

wordfm.com

a local radio station that I listen to on terrestrial radio and go to if I want to follow up on particular story or program. I usually need to turn my computer off because I cannot navigate the site or open or close it.

Thanks for any help you can provide. Please email to [edited email from community support forum].

Firefox has "Open previous windows and tabs" ticked in Settings. I had to force restart MacOS, and upon starting Firefox again my existing windows are invisible. They are shown in the Window menu and when right-clicking the Firefox icon in the MacOS dock, however when I select one of the windows it does not become visible. Command+` does not show the windows either.

I can however open new windows.

I tried renaming xulstore.json per this old article with no effect.

How can I make the existing windows visible again?

It is with deep regret to inform you of my discontinuation of the use of Firefox.

My issues began at the beginning of February this year and have continued and compounded to the point that I cannot continue its use. The issues are constantly logging me out of my account, disabling ALL my bookmarks and the loss of well over a hundred passwords. I have followed every help article and community forums help links and to no avail I'm still dealing with all the same issues. I've have to restore my links every time I'm logged out of Mozilla. Their are no passwords to restore except for the Mozilla account I just had to log back into.

Again, I do regret discontinuing its use. I have used this browser for well over a decade and I am not one for changing anything at this point in my life. I'm 67 and having to switch is indescribably painful. I actually think your integration of AI functions are the problem. Everything was just fine before that was introduced.

If you have any comments, please feel free to email me at my former account email address.

Farewell old friend.....

Firefox will only start if I sign in as an administrator. It doesn't connect to the internet, and I can't get to the help screen. I did a refresh but that hasn't help. If I uninstall and then reinstall a new copy correct the problem? How do I save and reinstall my bookmarks and settings? I love Firefox and prefer it over other browsers. But I need to fix it and any help you provide will be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Popup GUI elements if pulled up twice in quick succession spike my CPU usage and crash the program

some examples: -menu bar menus -the menu button -context menus (websites with their own context menus do not do this) -preview tooltips

I've tried disabling extensions, turning hardware acceleration off and on and disabling AI to no avail. Disabling the preview tooltips 'worked' but I'd prefer not to disable everything here. Are there any other settings that might help?
