Firefox Community Forum

For no apparent reason, all Firefox 140.0.4 on Windows 10 crashed and when it was relaunched it did not restore any open tabs, reverting instead to the home page. All history is gone, no previously open tabs are windows appear in the history list. This computer has syncing enabled.

I used about: profiles on the Win 10 machine and it only shows the one that is currently in use. I copied the 2 files found in the along with places.sqlite into a temp directory. I did a search for index.dat and it is not found on the Win 10 computer.

Even worse: another computer running Win 11 that is syncing with the Win 10 machine is also now missing its history. Is there a way to recover from this?

Note: I am generating this from the Win 11 machine, not the problematic Win 10 machine.

Several web sites say that they detect this ad block on my pc , but I can not find it through my pc sites. It seems to be kind of a worm that can not be disabled. I am using Firefox.

Hello,

I just closed FF (latest version) and opened it again and all my tabs are gone. I had a private FF window open, so I am guessing this is the cause.

Is there a way to get get them back?

Thanks

First got a msg box from Firefox that my W10 PC had crashed overnite - and I could report it. My PC was back up & looked normal - but when I accessed Firefox the PC crashed - then I got the above error & blue screen and could do nothing on the PC! I restarted again - as long as I DO NOT START FIREFOX - my PC is fine. Help pls! For what it's worth, I happened to open a lot of tabs in Firefox yesterday. Drivers are up-to-date. Vicki

This happens often. I start Firefox, and on the home page is a list of articles linked to several different publications. So I'm generally already on a mission, but I think "I'll come back to that article later", and I go off to do what I logged in to do. And when I get back to the article a few minutes or hours later, it's gone! There is a new set of articles. The articles have all refreshed, and the one I wanted to read is gone. So can I see back to what that was? Or some other way to retrieve that article I never got to read before it went away?

I lost everything in a tragic housefire recently and I cannot remember the exact username I used for my Mozilla Account. Of course, this means I have also lost years of valuable Favorites and Passwords and Logins.

Is there anyway to find out what my login name was?

How can I open an ad on a one-time basis, as if there were an option when right-clicking?

Sometimes we search for something we want to buy. The ad is near the top of the search results and seems to be worth investigating.

But we can't open the ad. Our wonderful ad blocker is, like our guard dog, too zealous sometimes protecting us.

The answer I'm looking for is NOT to go into Settings, etc. That's swatting a fly with a sledge hammer.

recently some websites won't open. in other browsers sites open fine. problems with pinterest.com figma.com cleared the browser, deleted cookies and cache, reinstalled the browser everything opens in google chrome, i attach screenshots

Hello, Just updated to the latest FF on Windows and I want the old search engines option.

Now there's a dropdown menu to choose from, which is nice but makes a redundant click (click the dropdown and click again to chose).

Before the update, after typing a string, I would have at the bottom of the the search bar a list of the available engines, clicking one of the icons, would start the search, thus only 1 click.

Is there a way to get this back?

Thanks

According to this article I should be able to activate autofill credit card details in my country https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/credit-card-autofill But the option is no where to be found and in about:config I can see it is restricted to a few countries mine not being one. I can not change the list with countries either, actually I can not change anything nor search in about:config. I am running Firefox 140.0.4 (64-bit) EDIT I made a a master password, which then made it possible for me to edit in about:config. I added my country to the extension and now I can activate it.

To view my Firefox browsing history, I click the three horizontal lines icon (in the top right corner of the window) to open the Menu panel. I then click History then click Manage History.

How can I make the font larger?
