Lots of 'to-do's' on those tabs, and time spent searching. So if there's a way to recover, would much appreciate.

I signed in yesterday and instead of getting Bing as my home page, I got Norton Safe Search. Never asked for Norton and don't want it. How do I get Bing back? There was some reference which said in effect that the home page was changed by 'an extension' and that it could be changed but no indication on how to do that. I recently downloaded Windows 11 from Windows 10.

Last night I was able to access www.wattpad.com with no problem and have in fact been receiving notices from them all day. However, when I tried to access the website this morning and this evening I get an Error 404 message. I can bring up the page on Chrome, but Chrome is not my preferred browser. I have received the same error on two different computers.

I was paying a bill and at the end there was a pop up from Firefox to save the payment method. I clicked the wrong box and it was saved. I would like to reverse that error. I don't know where to find it to delete my choice. It was my bank account information that I use to pay bills on line. Thanks in advance for your help. Sue Ellen Knutson [email address]

This is for Firefox 111.0.1 (64-bit) on a Windows 11 PC.

I'm going to try and be absolutely clear about this so please pay attention to what I'm trying to explain.

Let me state this simply first. I want to add websites of my own choosing to the Firefox Home page. I can't find any option to do so.

Where: In settings, in the HOME section, I have Homepage and new windows as well as New Tabs set to Firefox Home. This is exactly what I want. Firefox Home is the start page I see when I open up Firefox and before I go to any websites. This page contains boxes with images inside them that when clicked will take you to a website. (This is also where I have Pocket articles pinned as well.) What: The instructions that multiple posts refer to are INCORRECT. So please keep in mind that I have a hamburger menu to the right of my address bar and NOT three dots. In that menu there is NO pin to HOME. In fact, I can't find anything anywhere under any of the settings that says pin to home, nor does the gear in the upper right hand corner give me any options to add new websites to the group of ones already there. I have been through multiple posts about this issue and the answers have been all over the place and NONE of them have ever addressed this correctly. I DO NOT want to edit ones already there, I want to add my own.

Question: How can I pin my own website to the firefox home page?

Every time I use Firefox instead of saying United States at the bottom it's United Kingdom. How do I change this to show that I'm in the States rather than in the UK? I'm using the latest version for Windows 10 which is Version 111. There are sites that are blocked due to it erroneously showing that I'm in the UK not the US...

When deleting emails in my Outlook account n one of the firefox tabs, if I click a little too fast it suddenly opens a new window with the next email in the list. I have firefox set to open tabs, not new windows. And I cant see any setting that should be making it open a new window when clicking delete. Its never done this before till recently and its very annoying.

Since the latest update of Firefox I have lost the zoom in and out buttons, the 'stick man' for street view and the options for Satellite etc. Also, if I select directions I get the detial but no indications on the map. These functions all appear to be avaialble via Microsft Edge, so i assume it must be a Firefox/Google maps interaction. Any help would be appreciated - Chris Platts

4/7/2023 Good Afternoon,

Mary Pat's laptop has been having problems opening programs using Firefox. After several hours, I went to Uninstall. found the Refresh Firefox button. Used it and it seemed to work. Mary Pat went back to her computer and I came back to this computer. On my laptop I showed her how to Control Panel, Uninstall, Mozilla Firefox, Uninstall, Refresh Firefox. Now both computers are have the same intermittent problem. When I finish this question, I will try Firefox one more time. Any more Error messages opening websites including Google, Amazon, Dualingo, I will be changing to a different web browser until you can tell me you found the problem and have fixed the problem.

Sincerely, Tom McGuire [removed phone# and email from public forum]

Since yesterday, I am unable to login to the Kaiser Permanente website. the page is greyed out and the loading symbol just continues to circle. When I talked to Kaiser tech support, they asked me to try another browser. I tried MS edge and it worked easily. They said they had been getting calls about this very problem. There seems to be a conflict between kaiser website and firefox browser. I prefer firefox to edge or chrome. I can't fix this. Does anyone have any ideas? TJ
