Im using firefox version 116.0.3

I've enabled the setting in about:config that requires my windows password when viewing/copying a password (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318874)

Is it possible to have firefox authenticate me each time it autofills a password as well?

Hi, I was using Firefox for many years . Recently I noticed that all my passwords in Firefox were gone and it seems like my account was recreated but all the historical passwords were missing. I was under the impression that those passwords are backed-up somewhere and that I can retrieve them. Could you advise how to recover my logins I collected in Firefox over the years pls.?

I cannot click on the links in the search engines any longer. I did the Firefox refresh option. Now I dont have the extensions I had. I can't figure out how to install them without paying again, My ad blockers in particular. I went ahead and paid and now they do not show up in the extensions. I could not go to Twitter, the message said I was not connected to the internet. I am not sure what happened. I could not go to my email. I tried the troubleshoot mode and I could not figure out what to do next. I am using an apple iMac running Ventura 13.4.1. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Everyone,

When I open an email in Firefox browser it opens in right hand half of the page, unless I use the pop-out facility.

The heading is far too high and cannot be made any smaller.

If I enlarge the type - Ctrl + mouse wheel, or Accessibility + type size .- I cannot scroll.

When replying to an email, it opens in the bottom half of the left hand side.

Sometimes, the replying typed letters only show the first two lines of type and the mouse wheel causes them to disappear when scrolling. In this event, I have to type the words on a Word Document and copy and paste into the email reply space..

So I am unable to use Firefox comfortably.

I am sure there is a way to overcome this and I do not want to have to change my Browser, having used and got used to Firefox for over 20 years!

This has only recently started to happen, and being well past my sell-by date, I find technology a little confusing!

Any advice would be gratefully received, and obviously, faithfully applied!

Regards,

Colin

I use Panorama Groups. If I click on a tab I then land on that page, however the tabs at the top of the screen seem to move so I lose where the place of the tab I clicked on. Its frustrating as I try and put relevant tabs close to each other so I can swap between them. Because this happens I have to go and hunt for the tab I am using as there maybe 20 or more in a group its a pain. Please help or even suggest an alternative group add-in. TIA

Someone with Firefox did something to lock out e-filing system in Texas and I had to use another browser.

Inconvenient and this should not have occurred, now I have to use a different browser.

Please fix this problem so that I can continue using Firefox to be able to file legal docs in e-file system in Texas.

That website is https:/efile.txcourts.gov

Please let me know when you fix this issue?

about:wecome about:welcome^privateBrowsingld=1

I have my Settings-Autoplay set to block audio and video. The above 2 entries have somehow been added recently. I remove them and hit save, but when I open the setting again, they are still there.

I have searched online and Firefox and have not found anything about them. Are they a problem?

Thank you.

So...saying that I am ticked off is an understatement. I was using Firefox to do work online on Thursday (8/24). I shut my laptop down as usual at the end of the day. No issues. The next day on Friday (8/25), I turned on my laptop to do some work...no problems starting my laptop. So...that is when I discovered that my entire history is gone, bookmarks, tabs, and passwords. I have been searching through the help section and have tried to locate files to restore bookmarks and history; however, those files only have my history as of Friday (8/25) and nothing prior. So, I'm at a total loss for how to recover anything but I feel none of this is recoverable at all. I had a tabs up that were important and LOTS of important bookmarks which are probably gone. I couldn't even begin to remember all the bookmarks I had. Don't even get me going with my passwords because I will now probably have to go through the (time consuming) process of resetting my passwords on LOTS of sites. I have never encountered a situation like this where EVERYTHING was wiped. I did see that some sort of update happened on Monday (8/21) but I didn't have any problems until starting my laptop on Friday (8/25). I probably put my laptop into sleep mode M-T-W, and then when I completely shut my computer off Thursday night, everything was wiped on Friday when I turned it on because it probably updated from the update on Monday. Any thoughts? I hold out no hope to get any of this information back. Thanks!

On the new tab page, there is an option to dismiss links to frequent site, which will make them no longer show up on the new tab page. However, I cannot find any option to reverse this. How do I restore which pages show up on the new tab page to default, before I dismissed any?

only firefox keeps the ANNOYING and AWFUL and DO NOT WANT Captcha or anything like it to keep coming up thru firefox when attempting to use GOOGLE search. no other browser does it.......and the lame excuses of 'for my safety' or 'unusual traffic' and crud like that is lousy. firefox is great.........enjoyed for years......this is making me crazy and starting to use other venues.

Hello, I was on vacation and notice that an unnamed device was uploading and downloading a lot of stuff. I have a eero router and clicked pause. When I got home I found out that I had no internet on my PC and that it was the unnamed device. All of the other things in my house are working great. I clicked on resume in my eero app and it showed that it was no longer paused. My computer still has not internet and Firefox says, PAUSED, and SSL Error Bad Certificate domain. I have restarted my internet, my router, my eero app, my phone, my computer. Uninstalled my eero app and reinstalled it. I would appreciate any help as I really don't want to uninstall Firefox. Thank you, Jeannine

I went to use my eBay web page and part of the information is missing (see attachment). The seller information, etc., should show at the right hand side of webpage, but it is blank. I tried different pages and the same thing still occurred. I tried opening the same page on Microsoft Edge and there was no problem at all. I had no issue with eBay at all until I updated to Version 116.
