Firefox Community Forum

My bookmarks have disappeared from view, even though I have I recently got this note at the top of Firefox: "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."

On clicking on the "Manage bookmarks" link, I'm taken to a page with several fields, including "Location". I can not get any of the selections to work.

I did not ask for this change. I just want to be able to view my bookmarks. Can anyone guide me? Thanks.

There is a stuttering when i browsing, i do a lot of switching tabs when browsing. The stutter occurs at about every 15 sec, the browser like stopped for half a second, doesn't much but annoying. I cant scrolling, it stopped showing next alphabet when im typing, but still registered what im typing. but when playing videos on youtube the videos is not affected. i do running adblock ublock origin, i tried to switch it off, but it doesnt much affect my laptop performance, and the stuttering still there. i have also have tried doing gfx.webrender.layer-compositor set to true on about:config

You have downloaded a lot of files in the last 16 minutes. To no avail. All your messages indicate "download failed" (??)Please guide me. Just need to open my Firefox mail.}}thanks

I am using Windows 11 on a Dell laptop. I have the latest version of Firefox installed. I have used Firefox as my default browser on this machine and O/S for the last year with no problems. I can use Firefox to get to other websites without issue, using either a 5G cellular connection or a WiFi connection direct from the Dell laptop. I DO NOT use password vaults or any kind of automated password entry, and I do not have any bio-metric access functions activated on the laptop; I enter usernames and passwords manually, as needed. I have accessed my Outlook Hotmail account using Firefox without problem up until about 4 weeks ago. Now, I can enter my username successfully, but when I then enter my password I get a rejection screen response from Microsoft (clicking on it, I then get a "help" screen about what to do after getting a 404 message). After navigating through a maze of screens from Microsoft I will get an opportunity to verify my identity by using my cell phone and entering a 6-digit code (essentially a form of "2 factor" identification) and then I will get access to Outlook on the Firefox browser. I should mention here, that I don't use 2 factor ID on my email or with Outlook, and after entering my password, I would have been connected to my email directly. I do NOT have this issue when I try logging in to Outlook using Chrome or Edge on the same machine. I have: rebooted my machine, reinstalled the latest version of Firefox, cleared cache, used Firefox in Safe Mode, cleared cookies and browser history, turned off tracking protection, cleared URLs from tracking protection exceptions, and tried various combinations of all of the above. I also ran "scannow" and "DISM" functions to make sure Windows is not corrupted. Nothing has fixed the problem, and, Microsoft Support claims that since the other browsers work, the problem must originate with Firefox (surprise, surprise! ...). Any assistance in what steps to take to get Outlook to accept passwords that are sent through Firefox would be greatly appreciated!

Every day, I get the same reminders about new Firefox features. Every day, there's one about tab groups. I get daily reminders to sync my bookmarks. I do not need this every single day.

How do we turn off the reminders? Why do they not stop appearing after an update, the way they normally do?

Thanks!

Since I upgraded from FF128-esr to FF140-esr I always get the "Firefox is being updated by another instance" This is really driving me crazy, as I checked / did / .... everything (and even more) I found on the internet related to that.

Nothing helps !

Creating and using a new default profile didn't help

Finally I ended up uninstalling FF completely (making sure no -zero- leftovers remained in ProgramFiles, AppData a.s.o.), and reinstalled FF140.7.0-esr freshly. After installation I started FF immediately with the created default profile (only existing one) --> SAME THING : "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

And this is really a FF140 thing, when I go back to FF128, on the same computer, same profiles, ...., the problem is gone.

I would like to know in detail what checks are really done by FF to decide to give that "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

Firefox 147.0.4 on macOS 26.3 does not work via SOCKS proxy.

Firefox 147.0.4 on Windows 11 x64 works fine via the same intranet SOCKS proxy, with exactly the same settings.

The advantage of Firefox is its flexibility. It supports its own SOCKS proxy settings, independent of systems-wide ones. Unfortunately, it seems this Firefox feature is broken on macOS (but Windows version works perfectly).

Safari 26.3 (21623.2.7.11.6) and DuckDuckGo 1.177.0 (625) web-browsers that use system-wide macOS SOCKS proxy settings also works fine with this intranet proxy server. So it seems SOCKS proxy server itself is OK, and the problem is confined to Firefox on macOS.

Has anyone seen Firefox 147 on macOS work via SOCKS proxy? Is there a principal difference between how Firefox handles SOCKS proxy on macOS vs. Windows? What might be the best way to address the problem on macOS?

Thanks!

I am only able to shut off these new tones Firefox makes in Windows 11 Volume control center by muting Firefox. Then if I do, I am forced to return to that button to unmute if I want to listen to a YouTube video etc.

I've never had this issue with Firefox until 2026. I'd like to find a setting within the Firefox Settings, but there is nothing. No other browser does this. Only Firefix.

It's annoying. I'm going to have to start putting Firefox aside and stop using it. It's too much of a nuisance.

Firefox has no customer support. Only a Community Forum. So, I don't think they'll miss me.

After the most recent upgrades (both MacOS to 26.4 beta and Firefox 147.0.4), Firefox is giving me this message: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. Any suggestions?

On macOS, I set System Settings -> Desktop & Dock -> "Double-click a window's title bar" to "Fill".

In Firefox, double-clicking the window title bar does nothing. If I change the macOS setting to "Zoom", double-click works correctly in Firefox doing Zoom effect.

I confirmed that other applications respond correctly to the "Fill" setting.

Environment: - macOS version: 26.3 - Firefox version: 147.0.4 (aarch64)
