Right now, when you use AI features in Firefox, each request opens a new chat with the provider. But sometimes I would like to send the webpage selection to an existing chat for better context, especially when I am looking for guidance through something like the AWS Console. Is there any option to achieve this?

How to Access "Manage Bookmarks" with one click

In Windows 10, I could open Manage Bookmarks with one mouse click on Manage Bookmarks on the Bookmarks toolbar, and the bookmarks would open at the top of my organized list, with the Bookmarks Menu already displaying. One click! Fantastic!

Now, in Windows 11 I am unable to open Manage Bookmarks on the toolbar, as it doesn't exist, and does not exist in the Customize toolbar display either. Instead I must click on the "Show Your Bookmarks" icon on the Bookmarks toolbar, then click on Manage Bookmarks, then must scroll the results to the top, then click on Bookmarks Menu. This procedure, compared to how simple things were with Firefox, using Windows 10, is a real waste of valuable time.

Is there any way to open Manage Bookmarks, with Bookmarks menu displayed, with one click of an icon on the Bookmarks toolbar, as was the case with my Windows 10?

Hi! I have seen that Mozilla will be moving forwards with integrating AI to Firefox. I am very uncomfortable with this, as AI poses a risk to the privacy and security that made me choose Firefox in the first place. If this is the case and AI is truly integrated (at least without an option to turn it off or opt-out completely) I will no longer use this browser and switch to something else. I enjoy Firefox so I am hoping that this will not be necessary....but we will see.

Some websites won't load at all while other are very slow to load but some will load just fine, example Crunchyroll (screenshot attached) won't load at all its just spinning loading icon and a white page but if I try it in a different browser it works just fine, but with Youtube it will load but is choppy and low quality videos and same thing as before I load it in a different browser and no problems. I have tried every possible solution I can find from clearing cookies and cache to refreshing Firefox even scanned for malware and virus nothing has worked please help me figure out what is happening and why it's only with Firefox that I am having this problem and its not hardware can play online just fine and download games from steam perfectly fine.

After the latest auto update all of my history, tabs/windows, and bookmarks were deleted and I can't recover them. I have tried importing bookmarks and it does not allow me to upload an old data file and I can't restore my previous session. I tried checking both profiles but neither had my information saved and now when I open the about:profiles says "Another copy of Firefox has made changes to profiles. You must restart Firefox before making more changes."

I'm scared to try anything else because I don't want to mess anything up further but I really need my tabs and history back.

I restarted my computer and then reopened firefox and it had updated and I noticed my bookmarks were gone but my windows/tabs were open, so I tried to choose a file on the bookmark backup and nothing was happening so I restarted and after that all my history and tabs were gone and I couldn't restore them.

I don't want to see more AI features on this browser. I don't care for its harmful effects on the environment and I use Firefox to escape the bullshit of Google Chrome and other web browsers. I'm probably going to switch completely if more AI features are added.

Over the past few updates, I’ve noticed an issue with Firefox where it no longer restores my previous session when reopening the browser.

I normally keep four tabs pinned and about five additional tabs open for browsing and work. In the past, I could simply click the X to close Firefox, and when I reopened it, all my tabs that are pinned and unpinned would automatically come back. Recently, this stopped happening. Now, if I close Firefox, it opens with a fresh window instead of restoring my previous tabs.

I’ve already checked the setting under General/Startup, and Open previous windows and tabs is enabled. Because of this issue, I avoid closing Firefox entirely, since rebuilding all my tabs each time has become a hassle.

Is there a way to fix this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks :)
