Either removing certain ones I don't care about or getting ones back I may have already taken out?

I don't see either of those functions any more but I swear there was a way to do it just a month ago.

Recently I have had to sign in to my sbcglobal.net email account every single time I open Firefox on my desktop computer. Firefox is default and my sbcglobal.net mail account is set as my home page. This is not a problem on my iPhone. What is the problem with the desktop and why did it start within the last week or 2?

I have removed many gb of apps to try and address this issue today but can't stop Firefox from using an insane amount of memory. What's up? I've been using Firefox for years and have never had this issue until today. I'd like to keep using your browser but I can't if my computer keeps shutting down.

I cant get Pandora to load with Firefox . I am in Mexico and have been using the Browsec VPN to listen to Pandora and all of a sudden it stopped loading. I get the blue screen with Pandora logo but it doesnt go past that. Pandora works on Edge with the same VPN Browsec .

I am unable to open PDFs from my bank. I tried the following steps;

Change Default PDF Viewer:

   Go to Firefox Settings.
   Scroll down to the Applications section.
   Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list.
   Change the action to Open in Firefox or Preview in Firefox.

Clear Bank Cache/Cookies:

   Go to Settings > Privacy & Security.
   Select Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data.
   Search for your bank's website and clear its data.

Firefox continues to freeze up even after many FF updates. I am running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Firefox freezes for no apparent reason. I am lucky if I can just close the browser. But often times I must do a hard shutdown of my laptop. Since the problem first appeared about six (?) months ago there have been a number of Firefox updates, but this problem continues. When will it be fixed finally?

Firefox not responding. I have tried everything on the Help pages. I have tried reset of everything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch. Still: when I open it: Firefox does not respond. And everything else also is very slow then. In Windows joblist I can see Firefox with 7-15 threads. One of them "not responding". I have no problems with Chrome nor Edge - W11, 16GB Ram

Hello. I am using Linux Mint 21.3 cinnamon and Firefox 144.0.2 When I use Google maps and the yellow small pointer (cartoon) to go on a specific street, the window come black when shifting to street view. My only extension is disabled, hardware acceleration unchecked, cache cleared and cookies cleared. I have made fresh install and nothing help. Troubleshooting mode allow street view to work fine but normal mode don't work. Google chrome work good. Chromium work good. And finally, Firefox work ok on my Linux mint LMDE 6.

Any idea where to go to solve this issue?

Thanks for your support

For years, my Dell Latitude (Windows) laptop and devices connected to it via Bluetooth coexisted well. For this same time, I have used Firefox (latest version) only. The laptop connected to whatever Bluetooth device I was using and it worked when i used Firefox.

This changed about three months ago. According to my tech repairman, what has happened is that, although the (Windows) laptop connects with the Bluetooth devices, Firefox for some reason stopped allowing the Bluetooth signal to go through.

There has never been any notification from Firefox, never has been a way to edit a setting to allow Bluetooth to work, and no option(s) ever offered to allow Bluetooth to work.

Does anyone have a suggestion about fixing this; other than the obvious – use a different browser?

Thanks.

Why does Firefox think I am in Norway when I am in France? I use nordvpn for financial browsing but turn it off once I'm done. The VPN is not currently active, I have cleared cache and cookies and restarted Firefox and it still thinks I'm in Norway so search results are not accurate. Browser language is set to English and French. Thanks for any help in advance. UF

Hi Mozilla,

i stumbled upon an extension called 'unhook' which allows to hide a wide selection of content from my view on youtube. This is amazing! Now I can watch my favourite channels without annoying stuff on every side. I would really appreciate to have something of this kind as a native feature in Firefox. So please consider this a suggestion right away or point me towards the place where I can suggest this feature correctly - if there is such.

Thanks a lot for Firefox!

I am in the process of switching from Windows 10 to Linux Mint (Cinnamon 22.3) as my daily operating system. My current Windows version of Firefox is 147.0.2, for Linux it is 147.0.3. installed from the official repository - also known as the Software Manager in Linux Mint. I've configured Firefox exactly the same in both operating systems. Running under Windows when saving a Bookmark, Firefox displays the well known Globe Icon, but after reloading the page the Favicon appears immediately (provided it is available of course). Under Linux Mint this does not happen, even if one restarts Firefox. Only after a system reboot Favicons of revisited pages become visible. Is this a fundamental difference between the Windows and Linux version of Firefox or am I missing something? I've installed the Firefox extension for caching the favicon, but it made no difference, If I run it, still the Icon does not appear until system reboot. I couldn´t find an answer in the help database nor on the Internet in general.

This difference might seem insignificant for most people but for me it is. When shopping on the internet I bookmark a lot of pages of products to be able to make quick comparisons. The Favicon is of great help because it makes it easy to identify the different shops. Of course I could manually change the bookmark name to include the shop name, but Icons are a much better clue and leave more room in the bookmark name for other information.

The same thing happens on my two Dell laptops (Inspiron and Latitude), and a Hyper-V VM (on my desktop PC). They all run Bazzite Linux 6.17.7-ba25.fc43.x86_64.

A video may play for a second or two, and then it's either a black screen, or an error message of "The content doesn't seem to be working."

On the same two laptops and VM, the Chromium Browser, and LibreWolf (a fork of Firefox?), have no issues playing the same videos.

Firefox version on all three systems is 147.0.3.

Any help/guidance welcome with thanks.
