I am switching from firefox to firefox-esr. Version 147.0.3 to 140.7.0esr, start firefox with --allow-downgrade which mostly works. What does not is the "Home default" page, it is blank and can not even be configured to what it was because the settings page is also blank, nothing below "choose what content ...".

I have done this on 4 machines now with same failure for the home page. settings. My previous workaround was new profile and import data so the setting page is therein ESR. This is a far harder than it should be there being no single export-import. I had to export import history with a third party plugin and cookies the only method [I found] was to copy the sqlite file. Others like password export-import are fragmented.

I am technically challenged in my 80s. I have always used Firefax bookmarks. Somehow I can not pull them up today. It seems they have been erased. I have an apple computer.

On my steam deck, from time to time, the firefox's touchscreen support seems to switch modes.

The symptoms are:

- Instead of scrolling, one-finger touch-and-drag now zooms in and out (depending on direction)
- The touchscreen no longer lets me select or close tabs, or focus or click in-page widgets
- This mode-switch is restricted to the firefox window in which it happens
  - Moving the tab to a new window results in the new window working fine
  - Other existing windows are unaffected (although they may later experience a touch mode switch  event)

I have yet to determine what triggers this switch, nor can I figure out how to undo it.

Fix it. Tnx, Larry Yesterday I got a full page notice that told me my access to Firefox will be shut down because my Defender detected that I had stepped in some SHXT while visiting something in Firefox. They gave me a phone number of Microsoft something to call to fix it. I did not call because it seemed like malware, I guess it wasn't because soon after Firefox would not load. I will get this when I try: Says: cannot find server v3lpea6ndyxwl4.azureedge.net , I have run Malwarebytes and Defender and rebooted. Any ideas?

Hi Team,

after the mentioned update about a week ago, I experience quite some system slowness. Building up new pages takes between 30 and 60 seconds each, and some live streams are interrupted (3 seconds running, 3 seconds stop, 3 seconds running, etc.). This has never happened before. My Internet connection is good (confirmed by the provider), and using Google Chrome, all is as it should be, no slowness, no disruptions.

Can anybody advise, what the cause(s) could be, and how to solve these issues? Please let me know, if you need more information.

I really would like to continue using Firefox.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance,

Michael from Norway

Where do i go to see if rumbletalk.net and rumbletalk.com is "white listed"??

7/06/2025 UPDATE: well now there isnt even a Rumle chat window showing. On July 2nd there was a blank square for the chat convo, but now there's nothing about a chat even available. There's an ad there where the chat window was.

I'm thinking that the last update changed this. I tried Crome but there's not chat there either. Help groups say I need to make sure rumble.com and rumble.net are "white listed"..... WHERE do I find this setting???

Received Failure notice from astrologyanswers.com and support at astrologyanswers.com Can this be fixed? Was working fine until today. Joe Kil

I had once used my computer for my husband when his was down. Now when I'm in my computer in a web site, an example send a recipe to myself, when it comes in my email it comes from his account not mine. I've went on to his unit made sure my computer was not signed on using his account. I think it's coming thru Google but I can't figure what where & what to do about it. I attached an image showing the first account that comes up when going to google. I can go up to change the account to mine. But if I'm in site then send something it still shows his account & any response goes back to him not me. This causes much confusion as you can imagine. Is there a way to make this stop?

What happened to the feature in Settings that allows turning off Firefox control of mouse.

I do not bother to remember the name of the setting, because I simply turned it off each time there was an update, to avoid the problems it caused. NOW, it is no longer in settings.

I first notices a problem when links on a banner did not work. It did no occur to me it was due to Firefox control of the mouse.

Next the mouse wheel function, configured in the OS, that scrolls three lines has become dysfunctional. It jumps around and jerk up and down when I use it to scroll 3 lines which is a huge time waste.

Then I went to settings to turn off the mouse feature and it was not there! So I looked in about:config and there is a huge list of mouse settings that appear to be configured the way Firefox has universally done without any way to disable Firefox control of the mouse.

Lastly, I do not have the mouse configured for accessibility; I have it minimally configured the way I need it in the computer OS settings. The Firefox configuration of how the mouse functions in Firefox also creates the same wheel problem when not using the browser.

How can Firefox universal configuration of the mouse be disabled. Nothing about it is useful or helpful, it creates a number of obstacle - primarily interference with the use of the mousewheel, and on some websites (primarily configured for the use of Chrome) the banner links are not responding to the mouse.

I do not have an accessibility configuration, nor do I use keyboard mouse shortcuts, Last time I updated I actually installed the entire program, hoping to avoid the Microsoft control of Firefox since the update feature apparently uses the microsoft app to update and takes control when Firefox is the default browser (perhaps also when it is not) - to no avail.

Please at least return the feature to disable Firefox mouse settings that allows turning off the configured mouse setting, or at least offer a solution for disabling them!!

Over the past 2-3 months, Outlook, when opened on Firefox, continuously signs me out and forces me to sign in whenever I leave it open for more than a few minutes. Some days this occurs 5 or 6 times and has become very annoying. Even when I choose 'trust this device', or 'keep me signed in', or 'don't ask again for 30 days', it just automatically signs me out. I use 1 desktop and 1 laptop and this problem exists on both.

Also: I have a default font chosen for email composition that the system all of a sudden seemed to not recognize. I can select all content in an email and change it to my default font but it doesn't use it automatically. It either uses Segoe or Calibri depending on which computer I'm using. I have one laptop & 1 desktop. Oddly, if I place my curser down at my signature, which is formatted with my preferred font, the system will then use the correct font. As I'm typing, if I need to correct something, after doing so and trying to type the next word, it refuses to put a space between the where the curser is and the first letter of the next word. I literally have to start a new line by using the enter/return key, type the next word, then use backspace to take it back up to the previous line where it belongs. These are both small details but drive me batty!

I checked with my IT dept and they had me do a test drive on Chrome, which I NEVER use. Sadly, none of these issues exist in that browser, so for the time being I'm forced to use Chrome if I want to avoid the constant need to sign in and the other irritating malfunctions.

Anything you can point to or settings I can change to fix these issues?? Appreciate your assistance! Kayla Bates

I've had several days where I see this message and cannot sign in the Daily Mail (which I pay for) because I receive this message ecure Connection Failed

The connection to www.dailymail.co.uk was interrupted while the page was loading.

I cannot find a solution and it doesn't happen every time on the site but several times a week. I have VPN, and enhanced tracking which I've tried turning them off but I get the same reply. I'd like a fairly simple answer if possible since I'm not tech smart but need help to see if I'm doing something wrong. I did submit a complaint the Daily Mail who said the problem's coming from Firefox. Thanks for your help

I don't think I chose the right topic, but here goes. With every Firefox update, my bookmarks and everything always seemed to merge into the new update. My computer rebooted with updates today, and I get into Firefox to find that NONE of my bookmarks made it this time.

Everything is empty, and I don't have a backup anywhere because I didn't expect this. Yes, I know - always back up everything but honestly, I haven't had time.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Are my bookmarks hidden somewhere?

I have a lot of stuff for research for writing stored in my bookmarks, and I can't lose them.

Thank you for your help!
