Firefox Support Forum

Greetings,

Today, I went to access my Bookmarks, & found them "Empty", other wise "Missing"!

I found the "How to recover missing Bookmarks" topics, & that did bring back,what I consider to be My "Permanent Books", bu the section called "Other Bookmarks" will not come back, no matter how many times I go through the "Restore Bookmarks".

I Absolutely need that section to be restored, for I had many files in that section that I updated daily, that I planned to move to the "Bookmarks Section".

How can I get get this section restored?

Dear Community,

I would like to download this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ I would like to know how it works. If I will install this extension my firefox will be check hashsum for the files of this extension automatically? Or maybe public key of the organization/company who created Adblock Plus extension? How it is work? Can you tell me? I hope that people from Mozilla now read this and can answer for my question. This is very important for me.

Next question is to Adblock Plus extension. I can read this information: "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing" so my question is why Mozilla don't recommended this extension? This extension now use 6,678,297 people so this is huge count. It is possible that this extension is not safe and these people now use malicious software? Why on dedicated website for this extension I can't see company name? Why this company is not verified by Mozilla? So my sugestion for people from Mozilla is to change this and check this extension or maybe add some information on website for this extension.

So I should install this extension? My friend use this on Google Chrome and he recommended me this software but I don't know if this is exatcly the same version. Maybe Chrome has verified Adblock Plus software and this is safe but Mozilla didn't verified this and this can be dangerous software because this can be not exactly the same version?

Next question is to adblocker. Why Mozilla can't make their own software to block all annoying ads and due to fight with malware? Example Opera browser have own buil-in adblocker. Why firefox can't do this? Maybe people from Mozilla should do this? This can be helpful because if this can be happen I will be not install any 3rd party software for firefox anymore and I will be safe. Maybe I can send somehow this suggestion to people from Firefox?

I hope that you can help me.

Yours faithfully, Peter

Hello. I had discovered that Firefox itself creates a so called "fork bomb" by creating a big amount of sub-processes under the main one (with I can prove thru the attached screenshoots).

Could anyone have a idea how to limit Firefox from opening so many sub-processess, with (wanting or not) are mostly causing that my system runs out of memory and stop beeing responsible to any of my inputs, with forces me to restart the system (similar thing is done by an DOS attack)

I use the Firefox 88.0.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 (64-bit)

uname: Linux live 5.4.0-53-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 21 09:38:44 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsb_release:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal

I am attempting to save this page: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27903157

With the Firefox 'save page' function, and every time I do it says the download failed. Can someone tell me what the heck is going on?

I have a staging site for my website which is protected (not visible to the public) and requires authentication with the username and password to be accessed.

Firefox is blocking access with the authorisation window coming up empty again and again and again when I enter the credentials.

So - I have to use a different browser just to access this one site.

I have cleared the cookies and cache, removed the site from the browsing history - Firefox is still blocking the access.

how can I unblock it?

I use Windows 64 bits on my PC.

Hi. I'm experiencing issue when FF pops up new window (I need it this way), it pops up right behind taskbar, which I have on top of the screen (used to it since Amiga), so that I can't reach top of the popup to slide it or minimize etc. and have to stretch it a bit to get it bellow the taskbar. Annoying. I thought it is a Windows issue, but Chrome works well, no hiding popups, just alligning them bellow the taskbar. I don't wanna use Chrome, so please, let me know about workaround. Thanks. hippo

Firefox in windows will not let me login to my outlook account. Sight comes up, loads username and password but the login button is not active and does nothing. All products are up to date.

I have tried several solutions I found but nothing seems to apply to me.

I've been reading for an hour now so please don't be offended . I know you are volunteers and thank God for you. However I would just like to say a few choice things to the CEO at Mozilla. Dear Sir/mam or under todays circumstances it could possibly be Dear Trans, I would like to offer a suggestion because FireFox is catching up to the worlds most inefficient company Microsoft crap. Windows has more errors than it does users world wide and the programmers at Mozilla must have been previous Microsh-t employees. Our time is just as important as yours sir-mam-trans? I have followed every instruction to the finest detail except some of the details you say to use are non existent trying to set gmail as my mailto default . The last and final straw that wasted more of my valuable time was this set of instructions I want you to follow these yourself. The hamburger Icon isn't at the end of the address bar like it says it is so I googled where is it and got the following. "hamburger icon | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support https://support.mozilla.org › en-US › questions 29 Jan 2018 — You can also get to the Firefox menu by clicking on 'Tools' on the menu bar : Press the Alt key on your keyboard and in the upper left corner ..."

      Another bunch of my time wasted you cannot access  anything that will help set gmail as the default going through tools. I'm being far more polite than I would be if I was standing in your office. Hey give me a job where I can get paid for not producing anything of value  I'm sure you can squeeze one non family member in can't you? I have terminal cancer and not much time left here on this demonic earth thank God I'm going home soon. But until I do I would like the time I have left to be productive and would like to request that you fire all the incompetent family ,members they must be because your just as incompetent for paying a fertilizer spreader to write computer help articles. 
    Sorry to all you volunteers if any one can tell me how to do this I would greatly appreciate it and I meant everything and more that I said and hope someone sends it to the damn fool. These big corporations get filthy rich bribing politicians for tax breaks blah blah blah and you know as well as I do no business would be in business long making just half the mistakes they do unless you got the same perks . Have a wonderful day and blessings to all you volunteers and everyone that you love.Sincerely ARICHARDHEAD (Kyle Jennings)

Hi there,

I've been a fan of the multi-container feature for quite some time, and I enjoyed it most of the time. The only thing that annoys me, however, is that eveytime after I've removed some default container named in Chinese(I'm a Chinese and my Firefox UI is in Chinese as well), Firefox always added those same container back! Everytime! I just want to keep the containers that I've named in English and nothing else, and yet Firefox doesn't seem to understand that. It seems Firefox thinks I, as a Chinese, would definitely want those containers named in Chinese, which I don't. Hope you understand, and someone from the dev team can help fix this, because other than this specific issue, I don't have any complaint about Firefox, which is just a great browser and is keeping get better and better!

Thanks and have a great day.

Is this possible? I'm on Linux and i thought a possible solution could be to customize some config files and then change the ownership to root, but no idea where to start.

la page d'authentification ne focntionne pas. elle ne s'affiche pas Je ne comprends pas pourquoi. peut-être une erreur coté firefox ?

My shortcuts had large images on them and now they are half the size, but the shortcut is still the same size. How do I make larger images or go back to the theme I had before the last update. I'm using Firefox browser 89.0 (64 bit) for Linux mint. I hate this new theme. I'm getting older and sometimes my eyes don't work like before and I have to read the text. Images are easier for me to see. Don't make things that I have to accept. Thank you.

Hi. I use a web-based program for work. Each page has a set of built-in keyboard shortcut I can use to speed up work. After switching to FireFox, I lost that ability and see FireFox menu instead. I thought Alt-key was the issue, so I disabled it in FireFox, but that didn't really address my issue. Is there a way to enable keyboard shortcut? Not FireFox keyboard shortcut, but what's on the website. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I recently had to "refresh" Firefox after internet connectivity issues (Firefox would randomly be unable to connect to the internet for several minutes at a time, many times throughout the day). A refresh seemed to take care of that connectivity issue, but it did reset everything else. I'm having issues now where Firefox is automatically logging me out of accounts that I would normally be logged into all the time. Passwords don't autofill anymore when I attempt to re-login to this accounts (even though post-refresh I have opted for Firefox to remember them).

"Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is currently UNchecked, and besides that, I haven't quit Firefox. I've put my computer (mac) to sleep several times but I don't quit firefox when I do this.

Any other ideas? I've used Firefox for years without a single issue but have had several things pop up over the course of the past month that are making it a bit inconvenient...

Thanks in advance-

Whenever I try opening only Firefox incognito mode by right clicking on the app in taskbar and choosing new private window, normal Firefox window also opens along with it even though I don't want it to open. Please fix this issue and let us only use the private mode at a time and don't allow the normal mode window to open along with it.

Thanking you in anticipation!

I got a new office laptop. I had synced all my bookmarks, logins, password in firefox on my old laptop. After installing firefox on new laptop and signing in, everything is missing. Cannot find anything. Please help.

I'm looking for help with using GPO's to control Firefox settings. When I modify anything in the Preferences section, the GPO description says to use JSON to configure and has a github website. At the github website, there are two examples. Should I be using the Windows GPO example or the policies.json example? Also, in both examples, entries have a "status" value, where does this come from?

I have 3 systems that I want to use Firefox Sync on.

PC: everything. Laptop 1: everything but addons and settings. Laptop 2: bookmarks only.

I cannot make the sync settings persistent. After every sync all system sync settings reverted to the latest sync system. For example, set sync setting for laptop 2, then after sync started on 3 machines all 3 only sync bookmarks now; set sync for laptop 1, then after sync everything is on Laptop 2. Chrome did this really well so I can isolate some sync features on certain machines.

How can I do this on Firefox?

Since I updated Firefox I can no longer use Dashlane to sign in to Gmail. Yes, I'm signed into Dashlane and Yes I have the latest version of the Dashlane Extension. PLEASE FIX ASAP.
