Firefox Community Forum

I have Firefox on two Apple devices- IP address location and speed is fine on one but IP address on the other is nowhere near where I live and the processing speed is very slow.This IP address appears blocked on some sites. I am not operating a VPN. Safari on the same machine works fine, with correct location and good speed. I have tried all the Fixes that I can find on line without success. Firefox is up to date.

I can't delete history. I know how to do it (ie menu, click "clear recent history" etc etc) but it just doesn't do it. I've uninstalled Firefox and taken the option to "refresh" instead of reinstall. Didn't work. Uninstalled it again. In the reinstallation I asked that it NOT import my settings etc but it did it anyway. Back came Firefox, complete with my history! I just can't get a fresh start. With regret, I'm starting to use a different browser. I dislike doing that but at present I have no choice. Whenever I use Firefox, I just clutter up the place and can't get rid of history.

I went away for a week, and during that time my iMac (apple desktop) turned off. When I rebooted it last night, Firefox loaded at the start as it has for years, but ALL of my bookmarks and activity history was gone. I've been collecting those bookmarks for nineteen years, and while there's a lot of useless stuff I've collected over the years, some of it is very important.

Please help.

I just moved to a new computer. Still using the latest version of Firefox (145.x). But of course I have a much higher rez screen. So I'm looking at many more bookmarks across the menu bar, and they are all very small. As are the tabs at the top of the window. I can not find a way to make these larger in Settings. Grok tells me to work with CSS in the profiles folder, but that doesn't seem to work. (And I bet that every time a new version came out, I'd have to move or remake that CSS file and/or folder.) Is this just the way it is on the high-rez screen, or can someone point me to a solution?

I cannot complete an online payment from a checking account on firefox. I get to the point where it says submit payment and it always kicks me back to the same screen. I have to change browsers to complete the payment. Is there a setting that is preventing me from completing the payment?

Sometime ago I must have made a typo when entering my email address into a pop-up window in Firefox. Firefox continues to find and use this wrong address in pre-fills but I can't find anyway to correct it. I've worked through Settings/Privacy & Security with no luck. Can someone help please? (Windows 10 Firefox 145.02)

Recently, I've found that the OSX keyboard shortcut for focusing the next window in the current application ("Move Focus To Next Window" in System Settings) has changed its behavior. Pressing [cmd + `] will only cycle Firefox's windows until it reaches what seems to be the "end" of the current list of windows open. After this, I have to press [SHIFT+ cmd + `] to go backwards through the list of windows to re-focus any of the other windows.

Before, the behavior was such that I could just repeatedly press [cmd + `] and Firefox would infinitely cycle through all open windows, no shift key needed.

I haven't been able to reproduce this changed behavior in any other applications. Testing this in others (Finder, Safari, etc.) yields the cycling behavior instead of making me reverse the direction with shift to get back to the previous windows.

This is tied to the operating system's command. If I remap the keystroke to something else in system settings, I still need to use the shift key with it in Firefox once I reach the last open window.

Is there a way to get the old cycling behavior back? I find the key command with the shift key to be much less ergonomic.

Hello,

I'm writing because I’ve encountered an issue with the tab groups feature in Firefox.

Some time ago, after a browser update, I noticed a new feature that allowed me to group tabs thematically — I could name each group (e.g., "Study", "Work"), choose a color for it, and save and close groups to reopen them later. I found it very useful and used it a lot.

Last night, I decided to declutter my browser and closed several tab groups using the built-in menu. A bit later, I shut down my computer, but perhaps too quickly. This morning, when I turned my computer back on, Firefox was very slow to start. After a restart, everything seemed to work fine again, and the open tabs were restored.

However, all my previously saved (but temporarily closed) tab groups disappeared. In the tab group menu, I can now only see the ones currently open. I’ve searched through all the settings and history but cannot find any way to restore the missing groups.

Is there any way to recover the tab groups that I had previously saved and closed?

Thank you very much in advance!

Had to recently reset my browser and lost all my history. Apparently it messed up my custom settings in some way as well.

New Tab still shows my FF homepage with shortcuts and history gone - I've managed to get those back but with one huge problem:

- Clicking on a shortcut opens it in the same tab, whereas earlier I had it working when clicking on a shortcut would open it IN A NEW TAB.

Where's the setting in about:config to fix this???

If this feature has been removed - why???

When I export a presentation from Perplexity in Firefox, the downloaded file is completely empty (slides without content).

If I do the same export in other browsers (for example, Chrome or Edge), the presentation exports correctly and the file is not empty.

So it seems this issue only happens in Firefox. Firefox 145.0.2

if i search something on firefox the search bar doesnt show english and after clicking enter for the answer sometimes it doesnt come in english. i have chosen english as the only language but sometimes i get results in bangla too. i want my results to be in english only.
