How can I clear my recent bookmarks? If I try to delete any, it deletes altogether from it's bookmark folder. I understand that it was set up for convenience, but it sacrifices privacy. I don't want my private bookmarks showing up when I go to bookmarks under the 3 line menu. I have seen this question posted over and over, but none of the solutions work for me. Very upsetting. Firefox has been great EXCEPT for this one issue. It's enough to make me consider moving to another browser. I can't understand why Mozilla thinks this would be helpful. At the very least, make it optional or easy to clear.

When I ask for new tab, it opens next the currently open tab

When I ask for a duplicate tab, it opens a new tab 5, 10, 20 tabs away. Why can't duplicate tab open a new tab adjacent to the currently open tab? Makes sense, right?

I can't' find an option to adjust this

Thanks

I have the following settings in Settings/Preferences>General:

Files and Applications

Downloads Save all files in the following folder: Downloads Ticked Ask every time where to save a file

Applications Portable Document Format (PDF): Open in Firefox How should Firefox deal with other files? Ticked Ask whether to open or save files

On specific websites when I click on a pdf link, Firefox opens and automatically saves the file to Downloads folder without asking whether to save and where to save despite the above settings. As far as I remember, on other websites when clicking a pdf link Firefox only opens the corresponding file and doesn't save.

I found this with a internet search https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/stop-saving-pdfs-to-downloads-when-viewing-in-firefox/td-p/10225.

How can it be disabled that Firefox automatically saves PDFs?

I see where other people have posed this question but the procedure offered is not available to me.

I am using Firefox (Flatpak) version 121.0 on an Ubuntu 22.04 laptop.

On installing a new extension I should either see the extension's icon on my toolbar or else have a clear means of adding it. I have neither.

Clicking on the jigsaw icon in the toolbar, I get migrated to the about:addons page. On clicking the Extensions tab, I get the screen listing all installed extensions. Each extension has a ... icon beside it. But when I click on this, there is no "Pin To Toolbar" option.

What is wrong here ?

Can anyone help me out and others on this matter? several months ago appears FB decided to screw everyone over by arbitrarily forcing auto refresh. If you're reading something long and or have to step away for a moment it is gone.

Some have posted for chrome they have an extension that stopped it. The only one on FF does not work. I tried it, does nothing at all. Time for FF to fix this issues allowing you to turn it on or off at my will.

Thanks Mike

This issue has plagued me ever since I switched for Firefox. I have NEVER encountered this issue with any other browser. Once every week or two I will encounter a page with an MP3/MP4 file and will be presented with this error. I have already tried clearing cache, disabling addons, reloading, etc, but I guarantee the "best answer" will just be some rehashing of these steps. Something is fundamentally broken with this browser, and there are hundreds of people across various sites reporting it. Fix it.

Firefox has started hiding all tabs in a window except the active tab. This has happened in two different windows. I have no idea how to hide tabs and don't want to. How can I unhide the tabs. When I try to do it one by one, the first tab rehides when the 2nd one appears. Can I unhide multiple tabs at once? Do I have to unhide them one by one, and if so how? How do I stop Firefox from hiding tabs?

Due to a Windows 11 system restore, I had to reinstall Firefox. After signing in I found that all bookmarks, extensions and passwords have gone and the original 2020 profile they were attached to seems to be missing as well. I initially installed the Firefox app from the windows store and thought that might have been the problem, so uninstalled it and reinstalled from the mozilla website. That didn't heelp so I went through all the help articles I could find and I still can't figure out how to restore anything.

I am using Firefox on a Mac Mini, previously on Monterey but now on Sonoma.

Since about a month ago, any update of Firefox would cause a crash on start up, and the last working version is 118. The latest version of 121 has not fixed this problem.

Firefox would crash after a few seconds after starting up the app. I have attempted the following:

  • Creating a new profile or "Refresh Firefox": same crash.
  • Disabling extensions: same crash.
  • Troubleshoot mode: does not crash, but does not fix anything under normal mode.
  • Removing files related to Firefox before a clean install: same crash. I only deleted ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox and the app bundle – not sure if anything else could help.
  • Creating a new macOS user, and install Firefox: does not crash.

I am almost ok with wiping my profile just to be able to use Firefox again, but apparently I do not know the correct files to wipe.

Links to crash reports using version 119 and 121:
