Hello. I'm using Windows 11 on a desktop pc. I just downloaded Firefox from internet.

Questions: 1. I don't see "About". How can I tell what version of Firefox I have? 2. My browser bar across the top of the screen has buttons ">>" and "Other Bookmarks", with a different set of bookmarks in each. Why are there two? 3. The same toolbar has specific websites appearing on it, like McAfee Security, etc., some of which are not found in ">>" for "Other Bookmarks". How do I get rid of them without getting rid of the buttons for ">>" and "Other Bookmarks" (which I use)? 4. How do I import the bookmarks from an html file which is on my harddrive? 5. Is there any way I can a list of URLs I have visited? Where? If so, can I have it cleared whenever I exit Firefox? 6. Firefox used to have a white screen, now it has a yellowish screen like all my other Windows programs. Can I set it to white?

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

The reviews are staggering. Are there any talks of dismissing this extension from the store? I also used this addon a couple years ago.

Hello all,

I know this feature is brand new and awesome! I have a question about the statement below from the FAQ.

What does the statement "When editing with Firefox, your documents generally stay on your local device" mean? I am just wondering about the "generally" portion.

I sometimes have to edit sensitive documents and want to make sure that this editor is a viable option. Will there be a prompt if the file has to be uploaded to a server?

Just some security concerns.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

We are using Mozilla's URL (https://firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com/v1/buckets/blocklists/collections/certificates/records) to fetch the OneCRL.json that contain the list of CRL data. This URL was working fine till recently (last month) and we see this URL is returning 404 error. Attached the screenshot of the error.

Need some help on this. Is this a temporary issue OR Can we use different Mozilla URL to get the OneCRL.json data ?

Appreciate any assistance on this.

Thanks, Bharath

When I try and log into a website (lets take a signup page for example) FF will offer me a dropdown of my common usernames and emails, but also the email of my wife.

The thing is, in the privacy settings, there is not username section, only passwords and within that list her email doesn't come up once.

I have no idea how to remove this autofill but there are a bunch of old emails and usernames etc in there that are just in the way and I'd like to get rid of. Anyone any idea how to fix?

I have a HUGE problem with Firefox memory usage. Some open instances of firefox are taking anywhere from 600mb to 2.8gb of memory. Since firefox opens MANY instances even with only ONE active window, this very quickly uses all available memory (4gb) causing a full laptop crash.

More concerning is that CLOSING the worst instance of memory usage STILL leaves the single open page/tab open, so what exactly was the memory eating instance actually doing ???

I have included a screengrab of the many remaining instances of firefox in windows task manager AFTER closing the main culprit.

I have also included a screengrab of all the adblockers I use which I believed would limit unnecessary memory usage, but does not seem to be effective.

Many Thanks

Since the update I've had a few issues, most I was able to fix but this one eludes me. Opening up various news sites I get the "Firefox prevented this page from reloading" error at the top and clicking allow does nothing. Anyone know how to get around this error? I'm not looking to totally disable the FF feature that prevents other pages from loading a different one, but just to browse the website after hitting 'allow'.

Thanks in advance.

I have a question about using Firefox PDF Editor. I copied some text from a PDF document that is on my computer, by highlighting the text and then hitting Ctrl+C. The text copied onto my clipboard OK. Then I opened a blank PDF document in the Firefox PDF Editor and tried to paste that text into the blank document, but I wasn't able to do so because when I right-clicked on the blank document and then clicked on "paste", nothing happened. This apparently is because the word "paste" is faded-out in the drop-down menu (i.e., it does not appear in prominent bold print). Google's Artificial Intelligence seems to indicate that the technique I used would work (see screenshot which I've uploaded). But it didn't work, so can anyone please tell me how can I paste text into that blank document?

i can't load certain sites on firefox, it just gives me a blank white screen. there's no error displayed or anything. some sites load fine (gmail, social media, youtube, etc work normal), but some sites i visit give me a blank screen. they load fine in other browsers and even on firefox mobile, just not on firefox desktop.

i've tried deleting the cache for firefox too, but that didn't fix it either. anyone knows what the problem might be?

thanks!

Please directly contact Louis Rossmann's current emplouer. That business, FUTO, has been doing the work ; so much so, id content it would be the only logical business decision for FUTO to develop their own iteration of a meticulously secure, open-source browser for the community.

Id donate to that endeavour, should FUTO ever shoulder that responsibility.

As a short reference to provide context, here is their statement on legal challenges against their users & projects: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ReYTWc76SbI&t=6s

Doing the right thing is simple, but impossibility hard. Your project's 'soul' has not yet abandoned their principles 'ad' sold out .

Lately I've had to reload/refresh pages more frequently because of download issues. In order to the in FF I need to press the F5 key. To do the same thing in either Edge or Chrome all I need to do is right click and a little popup screen shows me the reload/refresh right there. Much more convenient to use. FF should use a similar technique.
