I wish FF would test and step through their instructions first. The instructions for Ad Blocker: " Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker" It isn't as easy as they instruct: "How it works: Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter list to determine what gets blocked. There’s no separate extension to install, and you can turn it on." Search settings unable to find Ad Blocker. Yes, FF browser is up to date.! FF expends a lot of verbiage to promote a new feature yet so slim on step by step instructions.

I always use C Cleaner to clear unneeded my unneeded data once a month. It does not usually affect my Firefox shortcuts on the Firefox homepage. It was also after Firefox had updated to version 158.0 . I did this on Wednesday (14th October) and all of my pinned Firefox shortcuts have gone missing. They have not come back, and no other shortcuts are being shown after I have since visited any websites. What has happened to them? Will this be corrected? Regards John

Firefox 158's announcement page tells me that Firefox 158 has an Ad Blocker. Nice. I'd like to try it. The announcement page tells me to go to "Settings > Browsing". When I open "Settings", there is no "Browsing" option.

Each time I power up my laptop I want my page to go straight to my Yahoo Mail. It does do that but it also tries to open another page that errors out. I think its because there's a 'c in the address and the file can't be found. I don't know how that filename got written into the Start Up Program and I can't find it to remove it. Please tell me like a First Grader how to remove this error message.

http://"c/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/firefox.exe%22%20-new-window%20https://mail.yahoo.com/

It says it cannot open the page.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

At random times when opening the browser, all my tabs (except the first one) turn into about:blank. Relaunching the browser does not resolve the problem, and there is nothing in the history that allows me to restore them. It is extremely frustrating, as this is the third time I have lost all my tabs.

I have been trying for 2 days to change my account default email address. The system gets as far as me typing in the password sent to my current default email address. I then click on the submit button and nothing happens! This has happened 8 times now. After using Firefox as my browser for +-15years, I am very disappointed by the lack of access to a human voice. If I do not hear back from you I will change to Microsoft Edge as my browser.

How do I recover the normal additional toolbar in firefox that shows options for maps, images, videos etc. This toolbar is no longer shown on firefox - perhaps it's because firefox has recently been updated and no longer gives that facility?

I have/had two different problems with the same results. In the first case I get the login window. I enter the password hit return and that window goes away and some times you can scroll to different opened emails before it says "Not Responding". The only action that works is to exit the app. Usually after a few days or weeks it will start working and does so for a few days or weeks. Lately the login window does not appear when the app opens and it displays the "Not Responding" message. It shows that it is "Loading Message". I have tried all of the options from the troubleshooting window and reinstalled Thunderbird with no change in response> Where do I go from here?

I've been using firefox for a little while- maybe three months now. I'm no expert on any of the config options. I run firefox using the built in VPN that my friend showed me how to enable, and I've been using it since. But now, as of roughly today, whenever I enable the VPN, no websites will load. At all. When I turn it off, they load instantly. But whenever I turn it on, it just gets stuck loading forever and ever, never actually getting anywhere. I tried enabling network.dns.disableIPv6 in the config page, because that's what I saw on a mozilla support page- nothing. Didn't do anything. The browser.ipprotection.enabled is still on, and I didn't change anything in settings. There was a firefox update very recently, but everything still worked with the VPN on. I just updated my computer, but I don't think that's it either because it wasn't loading things earlier today either. Not sure how to fix this. Please help?
