Can I permanently turn off InformationUpdate available' which appears each time I open Firefox. I must click Dismiss to close it. The problem is that after each update, many services to which I log every day, state that I am logging from a new device and I must complete a time consuming procedure of adding a new device in many places. And I don’t need most of the updates.

I read the FAQ about this feature. I read this about whether the stories are personalized to me:

... When personalization does occur, recommendations rely on a process of story sorting and filtering that happens locally in your personal copy of Firefox.

But there is no place that tells me how to turn this off if I don't want the stories personalized to me, and I do not want them personalized. The algorithms make assumptions about what I want to read and learn. But I want to be free to encounter and learn things that I might not otherwise come across.

How can I avoid being pigeonholed and limited in this way?

My desktop (Windows 10) Firefox just updated to 145.0.1 and the right-click menu is defective. It has a bunch of blank lines, the only options listed are search DuckDuckGo, translate, and use AI. This ruins my browsing experience, since I can no longer open links in new tabs which is my favorite way of looking at newspaper home pages.

Is there a simple easy way to remove items from the right click context menu?

Can someone please make an add on to solve this problem.

I don't want to learn how to use computer code css, I just want to use the browser simply and easily. An add-on or some other button to press is what I would like.

Website: https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/view-item?i=119810&WINID=1764158938344 (for example) On Safari I see there is a message overlay from the website saying "press the command key to zoom the image". On Firefox, this message is not displayed, and the website is greyed out.

I have looked at all my settings: I can't see anything wrong. Any ideas?

restore several "lost by me" multi-tab windows. maybe using 'history' wrong restoring tabs: only 3 windows listed, not ones i use regularly.

it's my fault and i don't know what i did: set FF to always restore previous session but closed several multi-tab windows when tabs were restoring, including - i think - truth.social.com, which was carrying one of those windows, possibly misusing the restore all tabs selection.

the best way to help is for you to draw a picture of me, deleting by mistake, and then reporting to you.

i will continue on my own, reviewing the "help" focusing on "restore", and will put as many tabs (ugh) back in windows they belong in. don't worry. it was me, and the effort will be worth it.

thanks for everything moz and FF.

See the attached image: I have sub-folders Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, and Other Bookmarks all within a folder called All Bookmarks. The first two are empty, every single one of my bookmarks is in the Other Bookmarks sub-folder. I can't delete any of these folders. On which planet does this make sense?

The "All Bookmarks" super-folder should have all the folders in the Other Bookmarks sub-folder and it's three current children should all be send to an orphanage.

Any way to accomplish this? Obviously the folder names are unimportant (At least to me).

Thanks for any efforts!

I have an account with Mozilla. I just built a new PC and installed Ubuntu 2024. On that machine when I try to login with my current primary email address it tells me that the account doesn't exist and prompts me to create a password. At some point I figured it might be possible to just push through, so I did create a new password. But I am not getting a confirmation email for an account that already should have existed.

Why did my new pc not find my Mozilla account when I gave it my email? How do I now fix this broken login?

My bookmarks in Chrome do not import into Firefox. I've Tried importing right from the Chrome browser and importing with an HTML file. No success with my bookmarks. I was able to import an extension, but I deleted it as that isn't my focus. I've checked the HTML file and it does have content (viewed in NotePad). I've looked in all the Bookmark options, but nothing imported there. I paused my NordVPN, no change. I've rebooted my desktop nothing changed. I'm running the latest updated version of Win 11.

Please advise.
