Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I have a few rows of website icons on my home screen for quick access to my most used sites. The rows were always spread across the screen so that the icons were a convenient size, and the text (i.e. labels) under the icons were complete and readable ... until yesterday. Now the icons are pushed together into a smaller area of the screen. Not only are the icons small, but the labels under many of them are truncated in order to fit into the smaller space. I did not make any changes to my settings so I don't know how or why this has happened. I am hoping that there is a way to restore the home page to its former state. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks for any help!

help me restore my open windows. this has also happened a couple times before and its very frustrating when i have tabs open to read/refer to later or am in the process of reading and then i have to try and find them all again.

So, I've just went on a quest to find a solution to my pinned tabs disappearing every few days, and it seems like this can happen if I don't shut down Firefox properly. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

That's my question. The rest of this is curiosity about the issue since it's seemed to have persist for a few years:

Is this intended behavior? No other browser I use does this and judging from the hits I got here, and elsewhere, it seems undesired. Is there some security or privacy reason it's like this?

I know I can repin the tab, or take some session recovery steps, and a few other things... but IMO, those are workarounds, not solutions. Barring some technical or mission limitation, a true solution should prevent this from happening at all.

I changed the password of my Firefox account recently, which logged me out of my Firefox iOS app. When I'm prompted to scan the QR code to re-establish the pairing, nothing happens. When I choose to use email instead, I get "unexpected error". This happens every time I try to re-pair. Please help me sign in to Firefox iOS.

The regular version of the browser is open with a bunch of pinned tabs and a private version. And!!! If you close the REGULAR version , but DO NOT close the PRIVATE one before that, then when you try to reopen the REGULAR one, ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND TABS will BE DELETED!!! WHY?!?!

And these tabs are not saved in history, because they WERE NOT active in this session!

Where do developers' hands grow from?! Well, this glitch was a couple of years ago! But now?! A month of work preparation went to hell because of Firefox failure... How do I restore tabs that were just blown away by the browser?

since v150 came out ive been having an issue where i get a flash of white on start up if i have Homepage and new windows as Firefox home with a wallpaper... i have re-installed firefox and tested it as default and it still happens. seems the wallpapers have a delay till it displays properly.

I created a custom search option for the No-AI version of DuckDuckGo but Firefox seems to be periodically resetting it back to regular DuckDuckGo. I haven't been able to catch when it happens (my best guess is that it's getting reset after Firefox updates are applied but I can't test that until the next update happens) but it has happened multiple times. It stays as the default through exiting and restarting Firefox, but at some point it always seems to sneak back to using regular DuckDuckGo and I can't figure out how or why.

It isn't deleting the "DuckDuckGo No-AI" option when this happens, but it is changing the default search back to regular DuckDuckGo.

Why can't I open?

This is what I get: Server Not Found

Firefox can’t connect to the server at water.weather.gov What can you do about it?

Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi.

When I select a bookmark to select a web site I have other web sites loading in along with the selected. This just started all of a sudden.

How do I stop it?

Firefox is my browser but unable to access email page, "Access denied. You don't have permission to access .... on this server". Internet operating ok otherwise. Also, I have an old Windows 7 laptop which works fine - emails available and open ok.
