The AccuWeather part of the Firefox homepage says I'm in Portland, Oregon, USA, but I'm not even in the same country. I tried to change it according to the directions I found earlier, but the only drop-down for my city was another city in the US but none in any other countries. So now I can't change my location. How do I change my location? It wasn't like this yesterday and I have no memory as to how it became "Portland, Oregon" since last night. I don't even have a VPN so it isn't that. How do I change it back to my area without using my exact location?

Hi,

I can't seem to retrieve all of my Firefox bookmarks or passwords on this new mac laptop. My other (mac) one fried. I thought everything was saved on Firefox.  Tried to sync from phone (android) too. Therefore, I'm having a hard time logging into certain accounts, which I depend on Firefox for my saved passwords. (evidently that is a thing of the past and I will now write all passwords down in a safe place. Also does anyone know why when I scroll on my mouse I have to scroll up, in order to scroll down, more importantly how can I change it back. This is a new glitch. and I'd rather not get used to it! Please help if you can.

Thank you, techno dummy Noel lol

When I turned on my computer this morning, and opened Firefox, it froze, and had to be process-ended by Windows.

Subsequently, it also caused Windows Explorer crash.

I was forced to hard-reboot my computer, and restarted it to find all my tabs gone and unrecoverable, and all cookies deleted.

However, my browsing history remains.

Furthermore, my attempt at recovery of this data via the automated backup taken Monday 29 September 2025 - three days before this post - accomplished nothing.

I have looked in several places here, and found no help at all in recovering lost tabs. All threads remain unresolved.

Please provide troubleshooting assistance ASAP.

(And please be aware that the software had to be opened in order to post this question.)

Anybody else notice that when using the back arrow on some sites, it just won't stop back-arrowing? I mean, usually, when you have reached the very first site opened in the current tab, the back-arrow will grey-out and become non-functional. But some sites are allowed to embed an instruction which causes Firefox to just keep on back-arrowing indefinitely, without EVER greying-out the back-arrow; it just keeps on re-loading the same initial web page. The yelp.com website is a good example of this behavior. Firefox should prevent sites from embedding functional-override coding which causes the browser to behave abnormally like this. Another functional-override example are websites that, DESPITE having a global Firefox browser setting to NOT auto-fill fields, the site causes Firefox TO REMEMBER the data anyway, and then to re-display the data at the credentials step as a pull-down menu underneath the Username field and, more often, the 2FA field. Haven't seen any site yet override the no-auto-fill setting for the Password field, however...luckily.
