I'm having a really hard time trying to put proper terms into my request. Please bear with me.

I believe it's a version or two ago that Firefox started imposing an arbitrary limit on how long I could explore in a pulldown bookmarks menu before it disappeared. I believe that earlier this wasn't the case: that once I was searching around among bookmarks they would be available to me to mouse around in for as long as I needed. Now they self-retract after a few seconds.

Is there a hidden pref to remove or greatly increase the time before the automatic withdrawal of bookmark menus while in use occurs?

I hope I'm being clear about this. I'm sure my terminology is less than accurate.

Thanks

I am setting up my computer using Windows 11. Firefox has suddenly started to use Bing. I have used "Settings" to specify Google but nothing has worked. How do I get rid of Bing permanently from my computer

So while using FF, I think it was a combination of too many programs opened and too many tabs (and an old potato PC laptop) suddenly the whole display turned black probably because of all those reasons, i waited a min but nothing, so i shut it down manually in order to restart it.

As i re opened firefox i finished the search that caused the "crash" i guess and only later i realized that all my history (an awful lot) is gone. Tried using an old Windows restore point of december but nothing... Pleaseeee help me retrive my history. Thanks a lot.

I've followed the guidance for coping the Thunderbird mail profile on the Windows 10 PC and installing Thunderbird on the MacBook Pro but I am unable to locate the Thunderbird folder under applications. I've tried multiple times to ensure I have not missed a step but am unable to copy the files. Suggestions? Thank you.

Windows 10 computer crashed and firefox lost all tabs, They aren't showing up in the restore tab. The only ones that show up are the ones that I opened after the crash.

I frequently get this error message preventing me getting mail or saying it can't keep a copy of a sent email. The problem doesn't persist but seems to cure itself. It appeared to begin in late autumn 2021.

I am using Thunderbird 91.5.0 with Windows 10 21H2

I have tried reducing my Maximum number of server connections to cache from 5 to 3

I do not have any other computers or a smartphone

My broadband connection is branded "John Lewis" and supported by Plusnet

Firefox won't let me print the shipping labels for Amazon returns. If I copy and paste the address to safari it works fine. I've turned off the strict settings and pop up blocking top no avail. Anyone have this issue or have a work around? Thanks in advance

Suddenly I cannot send email. I get a message: "Unlock Firefox". This seems to have occurred after the last update on both my tablet and cell phone. My PC functions properly. How do I unlock Firefox?

Why is it that I cannot disable Shortcuts in Firefox iOS? I have Firefox on my iPhone, and I want no Shortcuts, but the only choice I have is 1-4. I want 0! Why is that not possible?

I'm using FF (96) on Android 10. When browsing Ebay I will be prompted for password on almost every page change (maybe some are cached). Fully reproducible if paging through my watch list.

I have already cleared all data, reinstalled, switched off tracking, granted exceptions to ebay. Nothing helped. Works perfectly on Chrome.

Finally I noticed, that the problem disappeared, when requesting desktop site. Of course, desktop site apears too small, so I'm using Chrome for the moment.

recently I reset my phone and install firefox v68.11 after that I've got a problem with Firefox sync. when I want to set up my account in the sync menu just show a blank White page and do nothing at all. just a white page and loading sign on it!! and I didn't use the last version because I need tab-queue and you kill this option on new versions. so what should I do?

I know and admit I stuffed up.

One day a long time ago I was prompted for my master password.

When I clicked in that area/field a requester popped up asking me to pick a colour. Confused I picked one - and a bad one I now see.

So now when certain parts of a web page are opened the background colour is this horrible colour and I can't really read what is there.

I don't understand what I did or HOW I did it.

This is a cropped example of the bad contrast I am seeing.

As I said, I admit I stuffed up. But this seems to all have happened since that one time with the main password requester.

Crash also happens when passed the argument `-safe-mode`. Does not happen in new profile. Crash happens both in v96.0.1 and after downgrading to v95.0.1. Console output mentions "Exiting due to channel error." I have not been able to find a way of increasing output verbosity.

Greetings,

I am running 91.5.0 (64-bit). And for the last year or so, I was accessing all my various TB profiles by going to HELP -> MORE TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION -> ABOUT PROFILES and then I would get the option to launch any profile I wanted.

The problem is that now when I launch any other profile then it comes up totally blank. It is just a shell. All the info is missing.

Your guidance and help is kindly requested...thank you!!

I just added pocket on my iMac desktop But when I open my firefox account on this iPad (using duck duck go browser) I can’t find any pocket access icon on my iPad Firefox home page
