Firefox Community Forum

Hi, When connecting to a HTTP:// site, when you enter your username in the username field, Firefox prompts the user with: "This connection is not secure. Logins entered here could be compromised. Learn More".

How can I turn this message off?

We are running Firefox in kiosk mode in the browser (on a Windows 11 PC), and they are logging into an HTTP site using a touch screen, but when they click into the username box, they sometimes miss touch where to enter this username and instead touch the link mentioned in the message. This then takes them to the Mozilla homepage, but because it is running in kiosk mode, they are unable to navigate back, and they are prevented from closing and restarting Firefox. This is why we need to turn the message off.

The city that comes up on the 'weather' icon is wrong. I try to change it by following the instructions, but there is no drop down menu after I put in the correct zip code. There is no movement at all if I hit Enter or any other key. Please advise.

Every time I open eBay on Firefox I have trouble getting the items to show and some times it just freezes on the item that I am trying to buy and it slow opening pages.

For a week my pinned tabs are lost every time I open Firefox. I have checked my settings, they were the same as always. I have de-selected them, closed and re-opened firefox, selected them again, closed and re-opened again, pinned my tabs again. Then closed and re-opened firefox and still they are not there. I have done this multiple time with the same results. This seems to have started after the last update.

Hello: I am trying my hardest to figure out how to move my existing Firefox profile folder (with bookmarks, passwords, etc.) to a new system. I have tried repeatedly to take the contents of the existing profile, and past them into the default profile on the new system. None of the information shows up.

The existing profile is version 115.25.0, running on a Windows 7 Pro platform.

The system I'm trying to move the profile to is a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit system. I installed the same version of Firefox on the target system.

All the files from the existing system seem to copy over to the new default profile folder fine, but no luck when Firefox is opened.

I also tried copying the entire profile folder over (leaving the folder name intact), and removing the default profile that was set up by Firefox. When I do that it just gives me a message saying it can't find the profile.

Don't know what else to do here. I have a lot of data in the old profile that I don't want to have to re-create.

Even though my settings in Firefox are set to restore open tabs when restarting, and Firefox is my default browser, I was unable to restore my open tabs when my Firefox browser just closed on me. I went up to the menu > History > Recently closed tabs > Reopen all tabs and nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks for your help!

My Mozilla Firefox bookmarks are Bookmarks 2025-07-22.JSON. They worked well on my older Dell computer. I bought a new Dell desktop computer. I am disgusted with Google. My bookmarks on my C Drive. If you can't help me reload those bookmarks, I may as well decide to delete Firefox and use another such as Total Browser. I certainly hope you will help me load 2025-07-22.JSON on my new computer - it is ridiculous that Firefox wants to put in the full address on the C Drive instead of simply loading those. On Firefox on my last computer I used News which was bookmarked Daily Wire, Epoch Times, Salem News Channel, God's World News, One America News, Washington Times, New York Sun, and local Sterling Virginia Weather. I also use biography sites https://www.Worldhistory.org and Britannica.com [both of which I pay for monthly, as https://www.wikipedia.org/. I also have a Biography folder with names from A to Z I also have many music folders 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990's, 2000s, Music group and singers A to Z, Blues music, Bluegrass, Christian Alternative Music, Country classic, Country & Western Gospel, Folk Singers, Jazz, Motown, Soul and many others which I have gathered over the past 10 years

It seems that since the Version 141.0 update, initial startup of FF seems to take ve-e-e-ery long (approx 3-4 minutes).

The startup time/lag seems almost the same as it takes to restart after an update.

Anyone else experience this also? Thanks.
