I've been using Firefox for decades without any problems. Still on Windows 10. The last update 'made' my bookmarks 'disappear'. I can see all the backups, but somehow they can't be reloaded. Worse, can't even reload my own earlier backup (HTML format). I've tried all available tricks to no avail.

Do some website owners (banks, credit cards, even Social Security) HATE Firefox? More and more websites I have to switch to Edge to use.

Social Security just stopped me from downloading my 2026 COLA on Firefox with an error 400 (bad request), but I was able to do it on Edge. More and more websites, partic… (read more)

Social Security just stopped me from downloading my 2026 COLA on Firefox with an error 400 (bad request), but I was able to do it on Edge. More and more websites, particularly financial and government websites, work with Edge but not Firefox. And when I call their customer services, their first response is "try another browser!" Why do they hate Firefox?

If someone wants me to walk them through an example of the problem(s), I can do that when I pull statements or pay bills on those websites. The worst example is Synchrony Bank, which runs several credit cards I use. You may contact me by email at [email removed]@att.net (put FIREFOX PROBLEM in the title so I don't miss it).

I also have Mozilla VPN, and some things only work when I turn off the VPN, so that may be compounding the incompatibility. Although I am in Eugene (OR), the closest location for my VPN is Seattle.

After installing the latest version of Firefox for Windows, if I have 3 firefox pages open (I have pages ungrouped on the task bar), when a download is in progress, it shows a progress bar on each of the pages as opposed to just on 1 page. Was this change made on purpose or by mistake?

I'm not an expert so my apologies for any ignorance or "non technical" talk. I've an account on a website. I signed out and then revisit that website as a guest and they says "Welcome Back". I tried to chat with online agent and they know that I'm an existing user. (Although they didn't mention my user name etc but still they know that I often visit their site.) I clear all relevant cookies of that website and even restarted Firefox but still the same situation. Even I tried to use a VPN but same. Just curious how do they know that I've been visiting this website before. Thanks for help.

I have Windows 11 version 25H2, and Firefox 145.0.2 I'm having problems connecting to some sites, e.g. Amazon.fr The problem is the same on other sites, i.e. it takes a long, long time to connect to a site or within a site. I have tried various solutions such as: running Avast Clean Up, restarting my computer, clearing the history in Firefox before trying to connect but nothing seems to help. What's gone wrong and what's the solution?

I've followed the directions I've found in looking for answers to this, and they haven't worked. My bookmarks haven't appeared when I switched between 2 profiles and nothing has appeared when I went to the Library and tried the various restoration options. I also can't bookmark any webpages since I've lost my bookmarks. I'm using this in Windows 11. Ccleaner found 19 GB of system files that it didn't name, and it wouldn't delete them, so the bookmarks may still be there - I just don't know how to find them. Thanks for your help.

My computer glitched today. Before that I could bring up Firefox and all pages would restore.

Now Firefox comes up and shows one page like a new page. One tab and no other pages appear I had several open when the incident occurred.

Now I get the one page. From the Task Manager window I see the one page and "crashhelper" followed by several Firefox icons (all appearing to be using memory) but none of them are displaying any pages on my display.

I made a screen shot and enclosed below

My question is about lack of functionality (Topic) but it is not listed in the selections above!

I selected Accessibility because I cannot access any of the tasks shown below the "crashhelper" because none of these pages are displyed

The same domain name corresponds to multiple IPs in the hosts file, with an automatic switching mechanism

The operating system is Windows 11, and the following content is configured in the HOSTS file on the C drive: 192.168.10.10 www.simon.com 192.168.20.10 www.simon.com There are two private network servers providing website services, with server A's IP at 192.168.10.10 and server B's IP at 192.168.20.10. Then use Firefox to browse the website www.simon.com and set up Firefox's network.dnsCacheEntries、network.dnsCacheExpiration、network.dnsCacheExpirationGracePeriod Three configuration items are 0. When accessing normally, www.simon.com points to 192.168.10.10. When the 192.168.10.10 server fails, will it redirect to 192.168.20.10. What is the latency for switching domain names in Firefox? What is the mechanism for switching?

Good morning, the "Payment Methods" section has disappeared. In its place, I see a link called "Manage passkey in system settings," which takes me to the Windows 11 Passkey section, which I've NEVER enabled!

If I create a new profile, the "Payment Methods" section appears as normal, but when I link it to my Microsoft account for profile sync, the "Payment Methods" section disappears and "Manage passkey in system settings" reappears.

How can I fix this? Thanks

I believe I had all this synced in Firefox Settings before I made the upgrade. Like all you fellow former users of Windows 10, I had to upgrade to Windows 11; and did so two days ago. Now, I found that I do not have under History any of the former sites I not only visited but also had tabs open. What can I do, if anything, to recover them? Under the Add-ons Manager, if this helps, I already had the app Tab Session Manager, but don't know how to use it. Thanks to all in advance who may have made this same upgrade. Many out there are still on Windows 10.
