Firefox Support Forum

"Open previous windows and tabs on startup" doesn't seem to work for me - I check off the right box in Settings. (see attached file) but it doesn't work. I use Firefox as a dedicated app for one project, so would like it to open right at the four pages I always use.

Odd, because this USED to work, but has stopped doing so in the last week.

Laptop using Windows 11 64.

I downloaded the newest version, also signed in and out, but no help.

Thanks.

Have to kill with Task Manager . Updating FireFox simple restarts the open windows and the malicious loop .

Used ` Refresh . Lost a lot of saved windows and structure , but running .

Hi everyone, I always had this problem in firefox: some extensions don't load during the first visit to a website but only after I reload the page, for example I get that the SponsorBlock extension doesn't load when I open a youtube video for the first time, probably this problem occurs on extensions that operate on specific sites like youtube, twitch because with extensions like uBlock I didn't have this problem. I have tried activating the extensions I have one at a time but the problem still occurs

The option to restore tabs and windows is no longer working for me. I normally have a dozen tabs I work thru every day. Yesterday when I shutdown Firefox, all those tabs were there. Today when I open Firefox it only had to single Firefox default homepage. Checking under History there is no option to restore previous tabs, and the recently closed tabs was empty.

To test, I opened an IMDB page and pinned it. I then went to Wikipedia. This gave me a pinned and unpinned tab. I shutdown Firefox via the "X" to close the window. When I restarted Firefox there was only the default homepage. Neither IMDB nor Wikipedia showed up under recently closed tabs and no option to restore the previous session was available.

I have operated Firefox this way for several years. I don't know why this behavior is no longer being supported.

I have been using firefox for a while but recently stopped working at first i thought it was connection issues, but, that isnt the case. I have had to update my mac to macos monterey 12.6 and firefox refuses to load any website. Keeps saying the connection has timed out and following message:

. This site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. . If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. . If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

It's frustrating. Any help on this please?!

Hi there,

When using my Thinkpas X13s trackpoint to scroll 'sideways' with the Trackpoint+middle mouse button (i.e. from left to right) a new blank Firefox window opens up. So, when trying to scroll downwards all is well but the slight deviation and Firefox opens many new windows. I mean, many (like 5, because of the 'continuous' scroll).

Community solutions have as of yet not brought any luck. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

I use a PIN for my Microsoft laptop and I have forgotten my Microsoft account password. I don't want to change the password as my PC back-ups using Paragon software "might" be tied to my current pin and password.

If I log into my Microsoft account with Firefox, I am prompted for an email address. After entering my address the password is automatically entered by Firefox. Great.

But the login details are not stored under Firefox - Paswords. There is no Microsoft entry in Passwords.

Where might the password it be stored?

Thanks Hans

I have been using Firefox as my preferred browser for years. Recently I notice that when using Outlook mail in web the paste option is gone when replying to an email. Everything works in Chrome and Edge correctly but not Firefox. I instead get a text toolbar and an option to insert an emoji. Note this is ONLY if I am replying to an email. In new emails I am able to use the file toolbar and paste from there. Any help would be appreciated as I would like to keep using Firefox. I have tried all the online remedies including clearing the cache to no avail.

"Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.webmail.ilhawaii.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

This problem just occurred for the first time. I contacted the website and they say I need to update the certificate in firefox. How do I do this?

Thank You

my facebook ends after a dozen posts with the error message saying reload bur reload does nothing I still can not scan down my facebook posts this only happens on Firefox no other browser has a problem

I enabled "Open Recent Taps At Startup" but it doesn't work all the time sometimes i close the browser and then open again at some time later or maybe a little bit after i closed it and the taps are gone, i actually don't know what is wrong with it, does someone know a fix to this issue ?

Note: This actually does not happen a lot but when it does it becomes very frustrating especially when i closed the browser for a long time and i open it again i find that all of the taps are gone and it becomes very hard to remember what i had opened since the last time

when I open firefox it ALWAUS goes back to the last page I visited. I checked off that feature in settings, tried restaring in safe mode, refreshing firefox, updating, reinstalling, nothing works. I DO NOT WANT LAST PAGE RELOADING AT STARTUP. How do I make firefox works properly?

I'm running Windows 11 on a new machine. Doing a process check shows Firefox is currently at 853MB ! I have two windows open. What is going on? What happened to "Run lite without overbyte"? (Yes I'm was a Dr. Dobb's subscriber, )

I have bookmarks saved in 11 folders. Occasionally when I expand a folder to work with a bookmark and then close it, the whole folder will be saved at the bottom of a different open folder, not in its original location. I was struggling with trying to locate wandering folders untiI I learned to search a bookmark that I knew to be in the missing folder. Still, I would like to know if there is a setting that prevents folders from slipping out of sight. I have observed this happening for years.

I'd like to use different themes for regular Firefox and Private Browsing mode on the same device. It seems like an easy way to keep track of where you are and what you're doing, but I haven't been able to make it work. Is that possible?

When I try to open websites from a google search, I get this error:

Can't access this service

This service is unavailable for Google Workspace for Education users marked as under the age of 18 by their administrator. Learn more

• This doesn't happen with chrome.

• If I enter a website directly in to the search bar, I am able to open the website; I just can't open it when going through google.

• If I go through duckduckgo, I can open the website directly.

• This doesn't happen for all websites, but the ones it happens to is weird. Today it was the Red Cross blood donation website.

• I am over 18 and am noted as such in my google account and in my firefox account; I just double checked.

• I am working on a PC using Windows 11 Pro. Firefox is up to date. I only have 2 extensions, neither of which block sites.

• I tried going through google and accessing admin rights, can't do that so apparently I don't have admin rights through google. But again, I can open websites through google using chrome, just not firefox.
