Firefox Community Forum

When I hit enter after clicking youtube.com , my screen turns into grey spots where the videos should show and no other written info on screen. What is going on??? I can go in when Safari or chrome.

Google is my home page. Every time I open the browser or return to Google, it request access to my location. I click "Allow" and I click the "remember this decision" box. I've done this repeatedly and still Google bugs me with an access requests. This started with your last update which included the VPN. I have a 2018 Mac Mini with macOS Sonoma 17.8.7.

How can I stop this annoyance?

I was trying to get rid of the cache of things slowing my mac laptop down. During this I turned on the VPN which said choose a country...i chose canada. now everything i do has canada on it. my searches that used to be for australia are all in cnada, my imgae on the internet has been replaced by a canadian, my weather wont let me look up St Kilda, Victoria Australia...it just takes me straight to toronto. This is a nightmare and making my searches mind blowingly long and stupid. how can i get rid of canada from my system!! please. i am desperate

I asked about troubles with passkeys in Microsoft password manager, not Windows Hello. The question was denied. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1585824

I am only a home PC customer and have Windows OEM vendor's support only. It supports operation mises about Windows OS and preinstalled applications, but doesn't support Windows's bug trouble shootings. I was denied supporting from FUJITSU CLIENT COMPUTING LIMITED (known as a Japanese company, but a subsidiary of Lenovo now). I copied the raw Japanese text to avoid my failure of translating.

By the answer, I lost any support about trouble shooting.

I ask questions. Have Firefox development team previously confirmed that it works? Does you have Bugzilla ID about functionality check with passkeys in Microsoft password manager or something like it?

When i start fire fox it immediately opens 10 additional versions in the background which I can see in task manager and they take up a lot off memory. If i end task them they immediately come back. This only started recently. I noticed it because now when i open say a youtube video it shows it as number 4. This never happened before unless I had the same video open more than once.

If I can not stop this I will have to uninstall.

Recently my system updated Firefox to version 149.0.2. It works great! However, it will not display my homepage which is yahoo.com. I can go to any other website and everything is normal. But when I click on the little house for "Homepage" it briefly displays and then goes blank.

This does not happen when I use a different browser.

Please advise.

I had an unusual system crash, and when I restarted Firefox, the History > Restore Previous Session feature was grayed out. Due to the nature of my work, I had a large quantity of tabs open at the time of the crash (please don't judge). I then backed up the contents of the \Library\Application Support\Firefox\Profiles\[session].default\sessionstore-backups\ folder, but unfortunately not the full Profiles folder content. The file recovery.baklz4 does seem to contain my open session info (I can see a recent link in it). Based on web advice, I then tried restarting Firefox, but that didn't solve my issue. I also tried copying in sessionstore-backups files, without success. I then tried the "Session History Scrounger" web application to try and recover links from the contents of recovery.baklz4 because that worked for me in a prior crash years ago, but it doesn't seem to work properly anymore (it only retrieved 4 web pages). Appreciate any guidance as to how I can use my backed up sessionstore-backup files to re-enable Restore Previous Session, or alternatively to scrounge the links that were open at the time of the crash. Greatly appreciate your help! (Please do not suggest using "Show All History"... I have no plans to sort through a dump truck of rice with a pair of tweezers.)

i can see the video detected but when i click on the blue download button it says sadly we failed at downloading that specific video. It does this for youtube videos no matter how many times i try it. i never had this problem before and it seemed to have started in may of 2026

Hi there. Ian here. My home page "www.news.com.au" keeps wanting to lock me out due to apparent addblockers on my PC. I am not aware of any that I have installed and can't find a way to remove them or turn them off. I am also not sure if this is a healthy consideration in any case. Can you Help me please.

The new Firefox built-in VPN, rolled out to Australia this week, is not redirecting to the chosen country location.

Despite selecting either US or UK in the country list, websites are still identifying me as located in Australia.

For example, despite VPN being on and US selected, cunard.com still redirects me to my home location of Australia (see https://www.cunard.com/en-au in address bar). Screenshot attached. Other websites similar.

bookmarks :: i cant save any new bookmarks when i click book marks all bookmarks appear normal on drop down menu but when i try to save or edit the location i cant find them to click on

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

Something changed.

When I clicked a link, it would open in a new window. Now it only opens in a new tap. I need it to open in a new window.

I'm using Win 11 with Fire Fox.
