Firefox Community Forum

On 10-3-24, after logging in correctly, the FF browser for Windows would not open, or allow me to enter the site. According to the site's support person, my login was granted, but FF would not open the site to me. FF kept recycling the site's login page. The web site's support person suggested something changed with FF to prevent me accessing the site. I was able to enter the site using Chrome, which I do not like. Any known changes to the FF browser? Any suggestions?

How can I remove monitor, relay, mozilla vpn from the Account drop down menu. See attached example.

The ONLY reason anyone goes further down this menu is to get to the other tabs on other devices. These things, on especially my super small laptop screen, only get in the way.

Any way to stop showing these in this menu?

I really appreciate your time and help. I understand Mozilla's want to promote these, but come on, get this crap out of the way.

After an update, Firefox messed up my toolbar configuration. After resetting everything back to normal, just one thing doesn't want to stay where it's placed: the "new tab" button a.k.a. the "plus sign". I want the button to be to the right of my open tabs (screenshot no. 2) but after closing and opening Firefox again, the button simply jumps back to the left (screenshot no. 1). So I go to (Right Click) > "Customize Toolbar..." > (Drag the button to the right) and it works, only until I restart Firefox again. Is there anything I can do to make my changes stable?

(One more thing: there is this "List All Tabs" button, which can't be removed, how could I remove it?)

In the last few days, Firefox has stopped remembering tabs that were open when re-opening following Windows re-boot or other closure. This is frustrating. Other browsers (Chrome and Edge) both remember all tabs/windows that were previously opened.

Why has this suddenly started happening and how can it be resolved? I have gone through the advice given 2 years ago on one similar question, and all the configurations are in order.

I keep a large number of tabs open but occasionally go through them and close the ones I'm no longer interested in (with the X next to the entry in the tab bar). However when I then close firefox and restart firefox they are all back in the tab bar. This is relatively new behavior, perhaps a few weeks.

How can I fix this.

firefox 131.0(32 bit) W10 (32 bit)

Is there a way I can go back to the previous version? This latest update has really slowed my computer in loading everything. It is very frustrating. This is not the first time an update has broken things.

I have online accounts with both drawboard.com and offerup.com. Neither of these websites will finish logging out when I click log out on Firefox. I assume it's a Firefox issue as I do not have the same problem with Safari or Chrome when I've tried. I really don't want to stay logged in to those websites when I'm not using them. On Drawboard, the logout page just gets stuck there and won't change even if I refresh. On Offerup, it doesn't do anything at all.

Been trying to log out of offerup for weeks even with their help desk. Please help, thanks.

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

I had a firefox account on my pc then i changed the windows version when i downloaded firefox on the new windows and logged in (i forgot the password so i had to reset) i cant find my old data i tried syncing note that i have changed windows alot and never faced this issue

Today I was notified Firefox version 131.0 had been installed. Now, when using the Charles Schwab website, I can't access my bank account, which is a separate entity, and requires me to use Schwab's access method. I've used this method/tool for a decade or more without incident until FF 131.0 showed up. Here's the error: "You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms: • Block third party cookies • Cookie tracking • Cross-site tracking Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled.

I've disabled "Enhanced Tracking Protection", cleared the browser of cookies and site data. I disabled Privacy Badger and Ghostery. None of which helps.

This procedure works using Firefox on an ios tablet. Also, it works with Microsoft Edge.

Thanks for any help. -Deke
