I had to actually sign up fort a Mozilla account,the multiple hoops I had to jump through were ridicules, in order to ask a question of Firefox. I do not want my address bar to be my search engine. How do I disable the search engine in my address bar? And now I have to wait for an answer!!!!!!!! I used to love and trust Firefox. Not anymore.

Hello. I recently started using the built-in VPN in Firefox.

According to the Use built-in VPN in Firefox information page, I should be able to see the data usage in my Settings. However, when i look there, I can see "Manage websites" block and the "Get more protection" block, but I cannot see the "Monthly Data Limit" indicator that's supposed to sit between them.

I am running Firefox 152.0.4 on Windows 10

Am I looking in the right place for the VPN data usage? Is there another place to find the Data Usage?

Thank you.

My question is above!

I had a free chatGPT on firefox sidebar. you changed it to Anthropic Claude without my permission. Now I have to pay for something I was getting free as a student of a university.

How can I restore the FREE ITEM AND GET RID OF SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR...AND STILL USE ai?

140.1.0 esr (64-bit) Windows 10

I get a stupid message saying "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt."

But of course the file is not corrupt, others install it just fine. Is it because of the esr version..?? Thanks.

I tried to open to a site WWW.RAFY-A.com this morning and got an alert it was not available, but, I am now unable to dismiss or close the following ATTENTION! messages. I did click on the "click here to secure your data! on the top two now it shows a yellow triangle which I'm still unable to close or dismiss. Could someone please explain how to get rid of these. I ran Dell Support Assist but I do not have a virus option. I have not rebooted yet as I wanted to clear this up first and then reboot. Thank you. Irene

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to urgently request your assistance regarding a critical data loss issue with my Firefox account.

Recently, I reset my Firefox account password because I could not remember the original one. However, I was not informed or clearly notified during the reset process that resetting my password without a recovery key would result in the permanent loss of my synced data, including saved bookmarks, passwords, and other browser data.

Unfortunately, this Firefox account was the only place where I had stored this important information, and I had no separate backup of the data elsewhere. I understand that for security and encryption reasons, data cannot always be recovered—but I believe users should be more explicitly warned during the password reset process.

I am running Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10. FF tells me that there is an update. I downloaded the update, and when I restart FF, it does not update. Version 149.0 is re-started, and Help --> About Firefox again tells me to restart to upgrade. I have tried the upgrade at least three times.

Dear Firefox Team, good morning.

I hope you are doing well and that you are all healthy.

Guys... while looking for a way to measure the performance of our site, we came across the Core Web Vitals (CWV) some time ago. These are Google KPIs for measuring the user experience on a page (https://web.dev/vitals/#core-web-vitals). Unfortunately, some of the KPIs (like the Largest Contentful Paint or Cumulative Layout Shift) are currently only accessible using Chrome and it's preformance API. That's a pity, because there are also many people using Firefox who visit our site... and it would be interesting to have such KPIs as well.

In an article by Cloudflare (https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/web-analytics/understanding-web-analytics/core-web-vitals/) we recently learned that Firefox is also planning to expose the metrics used in the CWV... only the "coming soon" from the article is a bit vague. That's why I'm contacting you to get some more information on that topic. Do you perhaps know whether the topic is planned and will be tackled this year?

Thank you for your attention. Best regards, Carlos

First I tried all the suggestions I could find. And FF just kept double filling the password. So I did a completely fresh FF install to a separate folder with no cookies or passwords or anything saved, and never any extensions installed. Still double fills the password -- which makes it impossible to log in. I am using FF Portable, and tried both the latest version and an older version. What could possibly be doing this?

A couple days ago, some weird issues have started:

• All my bookmarks are gone
• Any of the buttons in the UI that open a smaller UI do not work (such as the 3 bar menu)
• Similarly, right clicking to open a menu (such as "Save Image") also does not work
• Any dropdown menus in websites seem to also not work. For example, in this very support page, I could not select an option in the "Which topic best describes your question?".

I can't restart and troubleshoot Firefox since I can't access the 3 bar menu.

Firefox update today 1-14-26 says Restore FF with a backup file" Instructions say go to Settings/Sync/Backup/Manage Backup. My Sync has no Backup option, only shows: Sync Manage account Device Name Syncing: ON You are syncing these items across all your connected devices: Bookmarks Open tabs Add-ons Settings Connect another device . How to proceed?

(I don't recall setting Syncing to "On" before; it also showed me as automatically logged in to my account.) Assistance appreciated! Thanks!

I recently installed an rtx 3060 12gb on my old system (Win10, ga-h77-ds3h gen3 mobo + xeon ivy bridge cpu). I installed latest Nvidea Studio drivers. Everything seems fine apart from Firefox, which showed visible artifacts/flickering lines on the screen. I disabled hw acceleration in Firefox settings and now instead of the lines I just see micro dots which change position frequently. As recommended by AI i changed some other settings in about:config but the tiny dots are still there. Starting Firefox in safe mode they are still there. On MS Edge its fine, there are no dots/artifacts.

Is there something else that might fix this or there is nothing that can be done, its just how the rendering engine works on older systems and rtx 30s cards?

у меня стояла функция открытия вкладок из предыдущих сессий, но сегодня я открыл firefox сначало все вкладки были подписаны типа autoblock(или как-то так), я решил перезапустить браузер, в итоге открываю и ВСЕ вкладки исчезли, а у меня их там очень много и я точно не все вспомню, попробовал восстановить через журнал("восстановить резервную копию от" я выбрал от 21.10.2025, но она просто выдало сообщения, что текущие вкладки заменятся, на те, что в резервной копии и больше ничего не произошло) есть ли способ восстановить все вкладки не прибегая к тому, чтобы листать историю вручную?

Hi,

This has been brought up before, but not with this exact question (not that I could find, at least).

I understand that cookies cannot be synced across devices, but this is not what I am asking for. Is there a way to make firefox sync the list of exceptions? Meaning, only the specified website URL and its status, not the cookies from these sites.

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

после обновления в панели инструментов появилась вкладка профили и она мне даром не нужна но хуже всего что теперь файрфокс каждый раз перед запуском заставляет выбирать профиль и ни какие настройки не помогают! что только не пробовал все бесполезно -- вечно выскакиевает это окно с выбором профиля! какой [edited] мог такое придумать??? и как избавится от эт ого [edited]!!! мне нужен обычный браузер каким он был до версии 150 без [edited] вкладок и [edited] ИИ

When I try to "sign into" Firefox using Google Chrome, I see the following message: "This account is not active. Please contact an administrator if you believe this is an error." I do not know how to contact an administrator. I do not see this statement when I sign into Firefox using my Firefox browser. Maybe (I think) the issue is that I need to use my Firefox browser to "sign into" Firefox (and, not Google Chrome). Thank you for your comments about this.
