Hello i have recently continued the windows 10 extended version and i cannot regain my bookmarks that use to be there. They are not in the back up or the restore options in the bookmarks tab. We have tried to solve this with articles off of the Mozilla website and we have not been able to regain the bookmark access.

I have been fixing dozens of problems with 140 ESR's GUI. Earlier today I fixed almost all of the problems with the search panel:

Screenshot: https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=15008668#p15008668

Except one: I do not know how to detect when the default search engine has changed. I need to know how to detect when the default search engine changes so I can update the favicon and placeholder text by recalling my gui_fixes_search_favicon() function in userChrome.js.

I'm an experienced web developer of 20+ years and would be grateful if someone could share their insight without the often "obligatory" cautionary tales 101 bit. Thank you in advance!

Hello I am having major problems with Firefox at the moment and have done for a while. I curently have four pages open but as you can see from the attached screen shot of my Task Manager, there are 14 Firefox processes. The usage is OTT on memory and everything else. Could you tell me why this is happening? Currently it is running in Troubleshooting mode but that is not doing anything to improve the problem. It has been known to shut my computer down, as it gets too hot. I run on Windows 10 and Bitdefender is my security. All help is gratefully received. Thanks Lisa

Tab Recovery failing with sessionstore.jsonlz4

Due to the previous thread locked, I had to start a new threat but it continues from the previous.

When using the scrounger located here; https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html. It creates a JSON file which can be renamed to as used in session profiles; sessionstore.jsonlz4. This is exactly what I've done then copied it to the new profile location: \Profiles\jj55ob2s.Default (release) and I don't see my tabs restored on a FireFox engine clone browser ?

What is it with my default search engine constantly being changed behind my back? Is the Firefox update doing this? Is something else? Can't it be locked down so that only I can change it in the Settings menu? It really annoys me that I suddenly find I'm doing a google search when I, after research and deliberation, set the browser to search with DuckDuckGo.

If searching in the address bar and switching to a different tab, Firefox will switch back to that tab when loading is complete

Hi!

I am having a problem with Firefox where: - if I am searching in the address bar in one tab (tab A), - but then before that finishes loading, I switch to a different tab (tab B), - Firefox will switch me back to tab A once tab A finishes loading. It's not immediate and is a little aggravating as it pushes me out of what I was already doing.

I'm currently on Firefox Beta (145.0) on Windows 11. I've tried the "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" setting.

JavaScript-based features on my site don’t load in Firefox — any advice on compatibility or ad blocking?

Hi everyone, I manage https://myphoneoffers.com, a website that lists mobile phone prices and SIM packages in Bangladesh. I’ve noticed that a few JavaScript-based components (such as floating offer banners and comparison tables) don’t always load properly in Firefox. In some cases, it looks like ad-blocking or strict tracking protection might be preventing the scripts from running. I’m using lightweight JavaScript with no third-party ads — just local scripts and analytics. Could anyone explain how Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection or JavaScript settings might affect embedded scripts? And what’s the best practice to make sure essential scripts still load while maintaining user privacy? Any insights from web developers familiar with Firefox’s JS behavior would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m managing an online bill information website, and some users reported an issue when they try to download or print a PDF bill using Firefox. Sometimes the print preview doesn’t load, or the layout breaks, while it works normally on other browsers.

Is there any recommended Firefox setting, extension, or workaround to prevent this issue? Also, is there a specific print CSS or PDF format Firefox prefers to handle better?

If testing is required, this is an example page where users reported the problem: https://fescoebillcheck.pk/

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi,

I generally have 20~30 tabs open in Firefox. So as of now, if I scroll on the tab bar, 6~7 tabs will move left/right per scroll. I want to modify this number of tab scroll to one per mouse wheel scroll.

I searched for this tweak but did not get any workable solution.

I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (64-bit) on windows 10.

If you have any tweak, pls share.

Thanks ..
