After the last Firefox, it has blacked out all the short videos on facebook. I looked up the issue on youtube and several people are having the same issue. I followed some of the advice and unchecked a few boxes and it worked for a few times, and then went back to blacking out the videos. Tried two other browers and there is not problems. Go back to Firefox and the videos are blacked out.

About a half dozen favorites were shown on the tool bar but have now been reduced to two with a double arrow following which produces a dropdown menu which is filled with the rest of my bookmarks/favorites. Clicking on any of them produces a side menu. The Home-icon which used to be in the upper left corner now site in the middle of the bar, I don't know what has caused this change but I'd like it to go back the way it was. My default search engine is Yahoo.

Hello,

I recently installed a new add-on in Firefox — the one that allows you to create different profiles with individual names and colors in the browser.

After the installation and a subsequent restart of my MacBook Pro, my previously open session windows were not automatically restored when starting Firefox as usual. Instead, a message appeared asking whether I wanted to “restore all session windows.” I clicked “Yes,” but none of my previous windows opened.

Since then, my saved passwords and bookmarks also seem to have disappeared. I suspect that my previous profile may have been overwritten or that a new profile was created.

Could you please let me know if and how I can restore my previous sessions, bookmarks, and passwords? Is there perhaps a way to access my data through a backup or via the sessionstore.jsonlz4 file or an older Firefox profile?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards, Diamant Adler

Over about the last week I have had three Windows updates. After the second of these updates I discovered that moving from one website to another or moving from one page on a website to another page would result in nothing more than a continuing horizontal moving blue ball going back and forth in the address area. After some testing this appears to continue without any further Firefox response or internet activity. After checking online there was a suggestion about clearing the cache so I tried that several time clearing everything in the Privacy area of TOOLS. This had zero effect, at least after the windows updates. (NOTE: The most recent third update did not clear the problem.)

I thought you might want to check this for yourselves.

Firefox has been going dormant (browser will not open), along with Task Manager and all Windows Admin Tools, whenever Windows 10 tells me it's time to update. I finally uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, and now the browser opens, but all of my passwords and bookmarks are gone. I cannot find a "Profile" folder on my PC.

Bookmarks Toolbar and Titlebar affecting my browsing?

For some time now while using Firefox, I've had to reenter my password when trying to visit new tabs of the site discord.com, even when using a link that should directly take me there (or duplicating the tab.) This is unexpected behavior and on a new profile of Firefox (or in other browsers), discord remains logged in even when the site is visited in a new tab.

Now you should probably know that I use the more tools option to customize the look of my browser. I generally enable the titlebar and bookmark toolbar for personal preference. After several hours of testing and tweaking and trying to bug test the issue I've realized that there is a correlation and discord only forces me to log in again when I have either the titlebar or bookmarks toolbar enabled on the current profile.

I would really like a fix that I can either do myself or would like to see this bug addressed in the future. There's no reason that my choice to use the titlebar or bookmark bar should affect my browsing?

Thank you for your time, and please let me know if there's anything I can provide/do to help resolve this issue!

Hello I have a new HP laptop with Windows 11 installed and wish to use my iCloud password on my Firefox. I have installed icloud for Windows and installed the iCloud Passwords extension on Firefox. I can see the icloud keychain symbol on the tool bar but it is greyed out and struck through. When I click on it takes me to the Mozdilla page for the extension where it asks if I want the Extn removed. Likewise when I go into Settings, under Passwords, the iCloud Passwords sections is greyed out and I can not do anything.

Any thoughts and/or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Jim77

Spell checking does not work with Outlook Web Mail in Firefox. This issue has been raised by many others but I find that the answers and solutions don't match my user interface and aren't really solutions. This seems to be a widespread problem and I really feel that Mozilla should solve it. Otherwise users like me will likely need to change browsers. - I am using the latest version of Windows 11 and Outlook Web Mail. - My Firefox is up to date (144.0.2) - Spell checking works if I switch to plain text. Thanks for any help with this matter. Mario

I get n error report when I try and access the seagate login page. This was not a problem a couple of days ago. The error report says 'You have not selected this website for SSO'.

I cannot find any help to resolve this problem and it is slightly odd that it was an accepted site previously.

Many thanks for your help Paul

I use the same laptop at two locations. I have different printers at each (both HP, one a laser the other an inkjet).

Most of my time is at location 1. Typically I can print without a problem. Recently in Firefox ONLY I have been unable to print at location 2.

Scenario:

  1. I print to the laser printer at location 1. No problem.
  2. I go to location 2 and choose to print - the print dialog appears with a "spinner" and it does not go away.

I have to cancel using Esc. I am unable to print at all from Firefox. Typically if I close Firefox after that, it looks closes but is still shown as running in Task Manager.

Other programs such as Word and other browsers bring up a dialog box showing that "the printer cannot be contacted" and allows cancellation. At this point I can choose the local inkjet printer and all is well.

HELP!!!!
