Firefox Community Forum

I opened Firefox this morning and all of my pinned shortcuts have disappeared. Shortcuts are enabled in the settings. I checked the browser.newtabpage.pinned pref on the about:config and all of my pinned shortcuts are still there, but they're not appearing on the actual page itself. Are there any other settings that I'm not aware of?

Hi Firefox support,

I’m experiencing a persistent issue with Google Fonts (.woff2) on Windows 10. Only on some but not all pages whoch are using Google Font woff2: Fonts display correctly after starting Firefox, but as soon as I reload the pages with for the first time, they appear corrupted and remain broken. Private Browsing mode renders the fonts correctly, and Chrome does not have this problem.

Below is a detailed list of everything I’ve tried with ChatGPT so far to troubleshoot the issue.

(OS: latest Windows 10)

Browser: Firefox (freshly installed, no sync)

Behavior:

Example site: https://www.linguee.de/

Steps already attempted:

Disabled all extensions

Tested in Firefox Safe Mode / Troubleshoot Mode

Created a new Firefox profile

Fresh Firefox installation without signing in

Deleted all relevant caches:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\cache2

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\storage

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\startupCache

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\

Verified / adjusted Firefox config in about:config:

browser.display.use_document_fonts = 1

gfx.webrender.all = false

WebRender running in WebRender (Software) mode

privacy.resistFingerprinting = false

browser.cache.disk.enable = false

network.http.rcwn.enabled = false

accessibility.force_disabled = 1

Disabled hardware acceleration for testing

Tested DirectWrite / Direct3D settings

Recalibrated ClearType

Ran sfc /scannow to repair system fonts

Temporarily disabled antivirus / web protection

Tested behavior in private mode versus normal mode

Observed that hard reload (Ctrl + F5) does not fix fonts

Noted that only .woff2 (Google Fonts) are affected; system fonts render normally

Summary:

Issue is not caused by extensions, profile, cache, or a fresh install

Private Browsing works → problem is related to persistent normal-mode caching or rendering

Only occurs in normal windows, consistently reproducible after first reload

Problem seems specific to .woff2 font handling and Firefox’s rendering pipeline on Windows 10

Emojis do not show on Firefox 146 on macOS. I downgraded to 145.0.2 and they do show, so it seems related to Firefox 146.

I have macOS 26.2 running in both test cases.

Emoji in question: 👨🏻‍💻

Thank you in advance. I have a question about the "Screen zoom ratio" that appears in the Firefox address bar. I don't know how to hide it. The address bar is set to 105%, which I find to be the best zoom ratio, so I keep it set to that. I know you're busy, but I would really appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you very much.

When I restarted my computer, I was signed out of Firefox. I didn't remember my password and didn't realize creating a new one would deny me access to my bookmarks.

Can I recover my bookmarks? The restore function only lists today as an option after my new password was set (empty). I have no recovery key.

My Hoepage is set to Firefox. In the center of that page is a Search box which I used always. Now when I try to type in it, my cursor shoots up to the top to the ADDRESS bar. I do NOT want to SEARCH from the address bar. I want to search in the Firefox search box. I also have Duckduckgo set up in that search bar. After the last 2 Firefox updates, I can no longer type my search in that box, but can ONLY search in the ADDRESS bar. Please help be restore the use of the Firefox Search box.

This URL "https://bibaboston.starchapter.com/adminarea/login.php"

appears in bookmarks as see attached image

Over the last couple of months, Firefox has automatically added Favorites to my home screen. If I delete one of these another replaces it.

Where do I go to stop this?

When the Global Privacy Control request is checked (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control?as=u&utm_source=inproduct) a persistent bubble appears at the bottom of the page indicating the request has been accepted. The bubble is annoying. Is there a way to continue to use this feature without the bubble appearing?

Why can't I go to saltlife.com when I've gone to this 333 times and ordered items from them for YEARS? Also, when I'm at Kohls.com, I cannot access a site, when shopping to access part of my shopping experience. Am I going to have to change my browser to be able to shop there? I have used Firefox for years, and up until now, I've never had this problem.

I reset basically everything to see if I could get it to stop predicting what site I wanted to go to and it still does it. Cleared the history, turned off syncing, closed tabs on other devices before I turned off syncing. I see on setting for autofill address bars etc. Mobile firefox settings are reduced it seems. I am on IOS if that matter. I don't know what else would be useful.
