The site works with Microsoft Edge, which is not my usual browser. (That's Firefox). I have tried clearing history and it has no effect. Can anyone confirm that this is a Firefox message and what it means?

I got a notice from Mozilla that Firefox was updated over night. Now when I hit a link it goes to edge instead of Firefox. In the Firefox settings, it still says that Firefox is my default browser. I do not want to use Edge. How do I fix this. I have used Firefox for many years.

Even though I have selected Firefox as my default browser, when I click on links in emails or other sources, the actions continue to open in Microsoft Edge. This is a recent phenomena, starting within the past couple of months. I have repeatedly checked my settings, but Firefox always shows as my default browser.What can I do to stop this nuisance? It's a pain to have to copy and paste the web address from Edge to Firefox. Is this an MS hack? Please advise.

Po przeinstalowaniu systemu i wgraniu Mozilli mam problem z otwieraniem plików. Brakuje mi możliwości jak ze zdjęcia, które jest z instrukcji jak to robić. Przykładowo pliki .pdf zapisuj się i otwieraj od razu, wszystko fajnie. Ale już pliki .msg czy .eml nie chc otworzyć się automatycznie w Outlook'u i nie widzę nigdzie opcji zaznaczenia "zawsze otwieraj podobne pliki" czy jak to tam szło dokładnie. Bardzo proszę o pomoc gdyż bardzo mocno utrudnia to pracę i użytkowanie przegladarki.

I just want to express my frustration.

Today during removal of Firefox (due to bug in Windows "winget" upgrader I got two versions of FF - 122.0 and 122.0.1 so wanted to remove one) I accidentally clicked "Refresh Firefox instead" without knowing what's going to happen in a few seconds.

Soon I was presented with a nice and clean Firefox window with no open tabs, no history and no addons.

I quickly went to my profile folder (%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) only to discover that no full backup was made prior to "refreshing". There were some files preserved - places.sqlite, cookies.sqlite, but no addons, and no sessionstore.jsonlz4. From what I can see, some of the carefully tweaked settings in about:config are also lost.

Fortunately I made my own backup on 10th of October 2023, so I recovered most addons and some of the open tabs. I'm now in the process of restoring other tabs from history. But I like to have them open for weeks or even months, so it's going to take me a lot of time.

The Refresh Firefox thing should be removed because it only destroys data. OR MAKE THE DAMN FULL BACKUP OF THE ENTIRE ***UNTOUCHED*** USER PROFILE ***BEFORE*** REFRESHING IT!!!!!!!!!

You never cease to disappoint, Firefox. Now I'll waste a lot of time to restore what I had before clicking that damn button. And I need to set up a regular profile backup because I cannot trust the software I tried to trust the most... No wonder you're losing users. That is totally unacceptable.

Any clues on how to restore my profile to the state before the "refresh" disaster?

Hello, I have a problem with Firefox on (only) the vive.com site. It shows a fast (same as Chrome/Opera) loading, but only on firefox it stays @ 99% a very long time, whereas on other browsers, in the instant, you can see the content of the page. You can test for example on that page: https://developer.vive.com/resources/vive-sense/

I work in a society where I need to have a brower with proxy support & security (firefox is the best to me) but that can work without waiting minutes to access a page, whereas it has been downloaded fast.

Opera is fast on vive.com, but that shit doesn't have proxy support, so I need configure firewall, put a gateway, and I really hate, it's a pure security fail (never put a gateway on windows, microsoft takes the control of your windows and scan your datas). We don't wish that in our society.

So I'm there to report you that, I think there is a problem and I really don't understand what can do firefox to make the user wait so much time, and it's not related to the processor, it's the same on my crappy laptop or on a brand new powerful 3D station. With opera, it's really in a second, and with firefox, it's a minute. Really weird.

When I open firefox for the first time or after reboot or logout the internet doesn't connect immediately and it need almost 1 minute or more. I tried so many solutions, but they didn't work. If I reset Firefox, then the problem is fixed, but after some days, it's the same problem.

Hello; so, my brother lend me his old laptop, clean. I signed in firefox with my account and explore normally. One day, he need it back a couple days so he can work while he repairs his main machine. Log off of my account and log on in his. Now my bookmarks, historial, loggins, etc appear in his session. We think that can not be possible with separate accounts with different associated e-mail and passwords, but here we are.

There is a way to separate my things from his account? It only happens to him, i don't have in my browser his data. Thanks

Dear Team. As always thanks for a great browser... I had a Firefox update come through this morning (through the browser prompt). After installing the update the pc became extremely sluggish. Thought it may need a restart so restarted the pc but pretty much the same issue? Slow, delayed and sluggish.

I checked what was running in the back ground and other than the usual microsoft nonsense and background stuff it showed 30 instances of Firefox running taking up 82% of the memory. I always have one browser with 8 tabs running by default.

I'm running an i7 processor with 8gig of ram which should be more than ample. Any thoughts / ideas would be most welcome. Once again, thanks for the best browser....

Best regards, Kev Brown. Brocott UK
