Mozilla gave assurances that AI features would be opt-in. The most recent update automatically turned AI features ON and I had to open settings to block them. This is opt-out, not opt-in. I find this betrayal of my trust as a longtime user disturbing.

I tried to access my Yahoo account through Google Chrome and Firefox, and each time it tells me that something is wrong and I cannot open my account, even though the password is correct

Hello, I was using a cleaner program called "Cleaner One Pro" and I mistakenly let it clean my main firefox profile, and then I backed up my system afterward, unknowingly overwriting my recent backup. When I tried running firefox again, it had regressed to an earlier snapshot of my profile and was reloading all my tabs as well. Also, all my previous sessions and my history was all erased. This program should not have erased those, and if it had not, I could have simply let the tabs reload and been fine. So my profile was left in an earlier state with no way to recover current tabs. I have many, many, many open tabs on firefox, which has NEVER been a problem whatsoever. All my tabs were in an earlier version. I, however, found that firefox had made a partial backup of my profile into another folder in the same folder as my profile, but this backup was not complete, and trying to use it as a complete profile resulted in only a few tabs open at all, worse than even before. But this limited backup included my complete, current history. Are there any other file or files in this limited profile backup that I could use to restore my open tabs? I am using the absolute latest and newest version of firefox. My sessions and similar files are missing from both folders. It seems this funny little partial profile backup was made, and I was hoping there was a way to restore my open tabs from this little, smaller, partial firefox backup profile folder. Has anyone ever seen this, and how can I recover?

As of now, I restored an 11-day old profile and was able to import my new history into that using an extension, and if worst came to worst, I could at least recover my history and all the sites in that time of the missing 11 days I had went into, but I was hoping to recover my current tabs from that time as well. In this limited profile backup folder that exists next to the profile folder that was trashed, Is there any other file besides the session files that could have stored my open tabs, that I somehow didn't see or know about, which I could use to get my tabs back? I would willingly let firefox reload my tabs if possible to restore them as they were before this happened.

Thank you very much,

Gino Costa

Hello. Is it possible to hide or delete the "Search bookmarks," "Manage bookmarks," and "Other bookmarks" options in Firefox? I personally never use them, so I'd like to remove them if possible. I was wondering why there are two "Manage bookmarks" items in the "Bookmarks menu."

Can't access search sites on Lowes, Home Depot and other sites. Can't sign in to costco.

Reference #18.c70e2017.1772304951.fea6ebdf Chrome browser works fine

I have no issue with youtube on any other browser, but I do prefer Firefox. However, Fierfox says that site is slowing down firefox and suggests I close that page. Firefox did not do this in the past. Is this similar to the rather ugly color of the private window that I can't change, not being a coder? The impression I get is that Mozilla is making changes without assuring they work properly. I currently have to use chrome to make sure youtube works correctly.

I am helping a friend who has a problem when opening any browser software on an old laptop so I cannot operate the syncing option. The old laptop uses Windows 10.

I want to transfer (to new laptop running Windows 11) the history, bookmarks and passswords by copying from users/hername/AppData/ but do not know which files need to be copied

I have installed Windows 11 to replace Windows 10 but my bookmarks in Firefox have disappeared, is there a way to retrieve my bookmarks that always appeared each time I opened Firefox?

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a persistent rendering issue on my company's website when viewing it through Firefox (v123.0+). The site features heavy-duty industrial units and detailed technical specification tables, which involve several high-resolution PNGs and large CSS grids.

The Issue: When scrolling through our product gallery, the images seem to "flicker" or disappear momentarily. This does not happen in Chrome or Edge, which leads me to believe it’s a Firefox-specific rendering bug related to hardware acceleration or the way Firefox handles large object-fit: cover containers.

Live URL for testing: [https://portaking.pk/|https://portaking.pk/]

Details:

Flickering: Occurs primarily on the "Porta Cabin" product pages where we use an image slider.

Console Errors: I am seeing a "Layout Force Reflow" warning in the Firefox Console that I can't seem to replicate in other browsers.

Troubleshooting: I have tried disabling all extensions and clearing the cache, but the jittery scrolling persists on this specific layout.

Is there a known CSS conflict between Firefox’s rendering engine (Gecko) and modern WordPress grid layouts that might be causing this? I want to make sure our clients using Firefox have a smooth experience.

Thanks for any insights!

I use Stockhouse.com as a homepage and when I opened my computer this a.m. the site came up and it asked me to sign in which it normally does these days and I click on sign in and it shows my email and password and I click again and I'm signed in. This morning it asked me to provide my email address and password i.e. fill in the blanks. It has not done that for at least 15 - 20 years. Not remembering offhand what my password was I clicked on the 3 line application tab in the top right hand of my screen and brought up the list which includes "Passwords". I clicked on the password file and it is blank. It has never been blank before -- did Mozilla/Firefox make a change that would make my password file disappear?

zen_browser has this feature which I use multiple times per day every day: keyboard shortcut ´shift+cmd+c`to copy current URL to clipboard.

This is such a useful feature. It helps me save time and speed up my workflows a lot, so much that it's absence in Firefox is preventing me from going back to Firefox.

The feature was implemented in v1.6b back in early 2025 in zen_browser.

When I try to down load and save an antivirus device on my computer, I get a message saying that I don't have the permission and/or authority to do this. I think it has something to do with my browser's (https://) that I believe I must have done something to create this, however; I don't know how to undo this. Some of the messages I receive when I try to open site that I normally order things from, I can't now. Please see the statements below that appear when I click on them. My computer says that my system is up to date

Please help me, I really need to put a another good antivirus on my computer as well because I just stop the service for the webroot service that I had. Also, if you can recommend a good one that you know of, I would greatly appreciate this as well.

Thank you kindly for any help that you can do
