The AccuWeather part of the Firefox homepage says I'm in Portland, Oregon, USA, but I'm not even in the same country. I tried to change it according to the directions I found earlier, but the only drop-down for my city was another city in the US but none in any other countries. So now I can't change my location. How do I change my location? It wasn't like this yesterday and I have no memory as to how it became "Portland, Oregon" since last night. I don't even have a VPN so it isn't that. How do I change it back to my area without using my exact location?

Hi, Since the last update for Mozilla on the laptop (updated on 6/Oct/2025 - version 143.0.4 (64-bit)), all the shortcuts to websites in Firefox homepage I had pinned have disappeared. Also I can't add new shortcuts. I already have shortcuts enabled in Settings>Home>Firefox Home Content>Shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Kind regards.

Yesterday I switched on my PC, opened Firefox and the home page was black. See the attached screenshot. This is not caused by some accidental switching on of the dark mode. Dark mode is clearly off. Neither can I adjust settings to make the Google home page revert to its customary light grey shade.

This isn't a big deal, I know. And it has happened before and in a short period gone away by itself. Maybe it is to do with a glitch in the latest Firefox version. But it has an unpleasant appearance and discourages surfing.

My Chrome Google home page doesn't have this issue.

Can anyone advise on how to fix this unwanted black screen problem ?

Since a recent version of Firefox was installed the picture in picture control does not work. I have unchecked the option but It still shows in YouTube etc.

I know this can be disabled in about:config but I prefer not going there. I wonder if this will be corrected sometime, otherwise the setting option is pointless.

Another item: I have unchecked the search suggestions in settings but it makes no difference.

Input welcome.

Здравствуйте. Сайты с сервисами от компании Яндекс не работают - не грузятся. Пробовал почистить куки, перезагрузиться, не помогает. Открыл в новом приватном окне, все заработало. В чём может быть дело? Работать в приватном окне - не удобно.

I really appreciate this amazing new 'unloading' feature. It's just the function I need. However, I can't unload all the tabs I've selected. Only some of them are inactivated, and this problem occurs almost every time I choose a group of tabs.

After the most recent update on the 17/09 my search bar is permanently stuck blue (screenshot attached). Any idea how to revert this back to the grey it was before.

I've used Slack every day for the past decade, and Firefox has been my primary browser for some time now. I've never had an issue with the two, but now, Firefox is reliably crashing every time I attempt to open Slack.

I've tried clearing my cache both broadly and specific to Slack, with neither producing results. Even tried deleting all cookies on Firefox, which was a bit of a pain, and it was no help.

I did read up on some people encountering a similar issue that could be fixed by deleting the Slack entry in "about:serviceworkers," but this did not help here.

The only extension I'm running is uBlock Origin, which I've been running for probably as long as I've been using Firefox, and that has never presented an issue before either.

Would appreciate any help or advice on the matter.

I know the system backs up bookmarks every day or so. I want to migrate all to a new PC. With a new Laptop it seems to have done so automatically, maybe through synchronize feature, I am not sure how I did that . I normally export bookmarks to a external flash drive as HTML. Just did also to a .json file type cannot find how to do that. Which format and method will be best? Have all of the old PC backed up through Acronis full back up. Will that have the full Firefox program with the bookmarks?

I have unchecked search suggestions in settings but these still appear when I search in Firefox with Google (for which I have disabled trending searches).

What is the point of the setting if it doesn't work?

hi, I recently purchased a new wireless mouse and keyboard... and my only problem is that there are a couple extra buttons on my new mouse... roughly thumb position... and are by default set to navigate backward and forward.... I'm running ubuntu linux... which results in accidentally clicking back midway through a video or podcast and losing my position more often than you'd expect... any idea how I might either reassign or disable them entirely on the software side of things? thanks. -dan
