Firefox Community Forum

My computer went through the process of updating Firebox. Afterwards all my bookmarks are gone. I clicked on Manage Bookmarks...then clicked on Import and Backup...then clicked on Restore which open a File dialog box. What file? Nothing is restore. I want the bookmarks restored.

this is still really annoying: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1500761

why is the icon even there or why does it have to disappear and then also change the tab size ?

1) if its there to enable you to play a tab in the background, then i want the option to switch the feature on or off (because i do not want to play anything in the background, atleast not via a 24/7 target practice with a mouse)

2) if its there to give you notice that there is a 'multimedia' tab open in your browser, then i want the icon to stay there and not dissapear plus change tab size...

like what is this even ? are we back in the 50s ?

First of all, I thank the great volunteers that have structured this great browser- Mozilla Firefox despite the persecutions from the giant Microsoft. I love Mozilla Firefox and I support it. I am of those who wrote petitions against Microsoft for undue negative manipulation of Mozilla Firefox. My petitions went to the European Union, Federal Trade Center, Independent Press Organization etc. The issue of my complaint about Mozilla Firefox is the non-functionality of Mozilla Firefox's Bookmark and History: The bookmark and History has had problem for a long-time. Most people who use Firefox admire the Bookmark and History. Once you open your computer window, on the left of the window, there is a list of your bookmark and you do not struggle to search for your favorite bookmark as in Microsoft Edge or Google It is there on your left. It is the gold standard of structuring a browser. No browser can compete with Mozilla Firefox in this respect. This is the reason Mozilla Firefox remains one of the best browsers ever. If it is Microsoft or any other group, they would have rushed to mend this defect. I know that Mozilla is made up of volunteers. Could any of the engineering volunteers see what I am saying?

windoows 102 dressktop with ESET antivirus software. Is firefox running and if YES, how can I turn Firefox VPN OFF or pause it for two or three hours while I update printer software?

Zum Beispiel auf Websites von Swissmilk.ch und Landi.ch kann ich nicht scrollen. Auf Edge geht es aber problemlos ! Was muss ich bei Firefox ändern in den Einstellungen ? Lieben Dank für Hilfe.

I would like to use Firefox with a search that uses an AI bot, similar to how Brave uses Leo. Leo does not ask me to sign in every time, like Perplexity does when I select it as the Firefox search engine. Also, when I do a search, Perplexity always causes the Google sign in option, which I hate. So, I continue to use Brave/Leo, because I use the AI/Leo capability a lot, but would prefer Firefox and something.

Suggestions?

Thank you

Hi,

My firefox email account keeps showing 'You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password' even after repeatedly resetting password and emptying cache and waiting 24hrs between attempts. It works fine on Edge and other computers, just my main compuuter thats giving me problems.. Any ideas?

Hello,

These error messages can result from a compromised IP address which you can check here:

https://www.akamai.com/us/en/clientrep-lookup/ or here: https://dnschecker.org/ip-blacklist-checker.php?

However, this post is for the condition where these messages are received yet your IP address is clean.

I have two browsers installed Firefox and Chrome. Firefox has problems with an ever increasing number of websites (that are switching to Akamai Edgesuite) while Chrome marches on without issues.

I recently discovered the Browser User Agent identification string that is used by the server to determine what browser it is talking to. This is useful for serving content correctly to different types of devices like a phone or PC. You can find your Browser User Agent string here:

https://dnschecker.org/whats-my-ip-address.php

So thinking that this might be Firefox's problem I copied the string from my working Chrome installation and added it to Firefox. Unfortunately the issue continues.

So somehow Edgesuite is using something MORE than just the user agent string to kick Firefox to the curb. Does anyone have any clues as to what this might be and how to get Firefox in the good graces of Edgesuite?

Thanks, Steve

In Firefox for the last 2 months or more with some ebay searches (and also Google searches- I do a search- then I select 'images' at the top) only the first few (2-6) lines of images are displayed. The results after that have no image displayed. This problem has appeared in the last few months- I thought you would have fixed it by now- there was no problem before then. I've tried doing the same searches in another browser ( MS Edge ) and there is no problem- so now I am forced to use MS Edge for some things, but I would prefer to use Firefox. Please fix it!
