For years I have had my Firefox set to open on startup. I log in to Windows 11 and my Firefox is already open. About a week ago that stopped happening. Nothing has changed on my system except maybe some automatic Windows updates. I still have the box checked in Firefox settings to open automatically on startup. It still no longer does that. I've tried to uncheck the box, restart Windows, recheck the box, restart Windows, but that isn't the fix. I saved my profile in Moz Backup, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and that didn't work. Is it possible that a Firefox update might be responsible for this? If not, is there anything else I can try? It's not a big deal to have to click on an icon to start Firefox. I just got used to the convenience of automatic startup. Thanks.

For a week my pinned tabs are lost every time I open Firefox. I have checked my settings, they were the same as always. I have de-selected them, closed and re-opened firefox, selected them again, closed and re-opened again, pinned my tabs again. Then closed and re-opened firefox and still they are not there. I have done this multiple time with the same results. This seems to have started after the last update.

Hello: I am trying my hardest to figure out how to move my existing Firefox profile folder (with bookmarks, passwords, etc.) to a new system. I have tried repeatedly to take the contents of the existing profile, and past them into the default profile on the new system. None of the information shows up.

The existing profile is version 115.25.0, running on a Windows 7 Pro platform.

The system I'm trying to move the profile to is a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit system. I installed the same version of Firefox on the target system.

All the files from the existing system seem to copy over to the new default profile folder fine, but no luck when Firefox is opened.

I also tried copying the entire profile folder over (leaving the folder name intact), and removing the default profile that was set up by Firefox. When I do that it just gives me a message saying it can't find the profile.

Don't know what else to do here. I have a lot of data in the old profile that I don't want to have to re-create.

Apologies for the non-descript subject line, but it is accurate: I just attempted a normal update to firefox. The first problem once it relaunched was that it did not show any of my tabs that had been open; it just showed a single "new tab" page. Upon typing any URL, though, the browser does nothing. More specifically, it does not initiate ANY network traffic (according to Little Snitch Mini). I tried various things (redownloading and reinstalling, rebooting, and refreshing firefox), but nothing helped. With the "refresh firefox", the only result is that, after a minute or so, the crash reporter comes up.

Curiously, on the prior update to 140.0.4, I had exactly the same issues. I did manage to resolve it by retrying things the next day and the "refresh firefox" seemed to be the thing that fixed it.

I used Firefox for many years, and I mainly used it on Linux. Since I am testing different distros from time to time, so I will reinstall FF often. Since I've an user a/c on FF, so that I can simply logon to restore my settings and that worked fine except few things.

1. I can not keep my theme settings and menu settings, such as using a dark theme and always show menu and bookmarks, I need to set the above every time I reinstall FF even with an a/c.

2. I got the error "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator" when I run FF on Raspberry Pi with Armbian desktop, despite of the error FF started normally. When I check the ".mozilla" folder, I found multiple profiles beside the default one I used, when I delete the extra ones and edit the "profile.ini" to remove them, I still found those profiles on the folder. Since I've some extensions installed as well as some screen settings, so I don't want to restart as new to re-do everything, is that any way to clean up my profiles while keeping my settings ?

3. I set couple websites to auto load when FF starts, I pin them to the tab to save some screen space, but I got double entries every time, the pinned ones and the one I set auto load on start, it seems no way to only auto start as pinned.

Thanks !

Even though my settings in Firefox are set to restore open tabs when restarting, and Firefox is my default browser, I was unable to restore my open tabs when my Firefox browser just closed on me. I went up to the menu > History > Recently closed tabs > Reopen all tabs and nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks for your help!

I am a complete Luddite and with each passing day, the tech I used to be able to cope with, is changing so quickly I don't see how anyone can keep up. I can barely surf the internet anymore because I don't understand what half of the permissions questions are asking me. I also find that the word choices of those working in IT aren't the best at communicating clearly. Past examples: items will "populate". I thought populating was about people and populations. Don't lists and other things get compiled? Bad choice #2, I am frequently asked to click on "OK" as I interact with desktop O/S or websites in the midst of situations giving me grief. I would gladly click on "Acknowledge" but these are situations that are most definitely not OK.

I currently have Firefox installed on my Windows 10 desktop PC and a screen appeared suggesting I download Firefox. But why has this appeared? Do the processes going on in the background not understand I'm already using Firefox? From trying to follow directions where I am told what to expect I'll see on a screen and the steps for navigating that to accomplish something, but then not actually seeing what I was lead to believe I would, to my query here and now, less and less of things make sense any more, and it's really wearing me down. Thanks in advance to anyone paying attention.

I'm now finding multiple sites, notably my financial institution, which are giving me grief with the "cookie" question. I don't mind selecting my cookie preferences when I log on to a site....ONCE. But I am getting the cookie question with each page I go to on the site. I've called my bank and they tell me they are getting the same complaint from other customers and it's because I'm using Firefox. They are not seeing this problem with other supported browsers and of course their solution is to switch to Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, which is NOT a solution and which I will never do,

Is anyone else here having this problem? If so, is their a solution?

Thank you

I downloaded Firefox not too long ago to combat the fact the Microsoft Edge wasn't working correctly, but ever since I downloaded Firefox it's been making my computer run really slow on the browser. Things are often slow like scrolling up on and down pages websites like Pinterest, and the text when typing on Google docs takes a moment to show up after I've typed it and not instantly, for example.

I checked my computer's task manager because I recently cleaned the laptop, thinking that something else was causing it to be slow, but it isn't. I don't have many processes open on the computer mainly mandatory things and my browser, since I use my laptop mainly for school work, music, or writing. Firefox opens multiple processes, the highest being 21 at one time, and takes up most of the memory on the laptop. Is this normal? Because it takes 1,094.0 MB and keeps my laptop's memory at 90-91%. If it isn't normal, how can I reduce this as well as the lag on my laptop when Firefox is open?

I attached a photo as well.

It's mostly in the title. Ever since I switched to Firefox I noticed that while the videos play just fine, if I scroll down to the comments or to search for another video on the sidebar Firefox suddenly becomes extremely laggy and takes a good few minutes to actually load anything. Is there any way to fix this? (My Firefox is up to date and the only extensions I'm running are uBlock and Tampermonkey, but there aren't any scripts running through it specifically for YouTube)

Where did the tags or shortcuts go? i had them and they were a quick way for me to get into the programs i need: Weather 13, Weather.com, Lawrence Bibliocommons, Lumosity login, analog word finder. they were on the top of the first page when i opened FireFox and i used them a lot. now they're gone and i need them back. Otherwise i have to do a search for each of them individually.
