Firefox Community Forum

Hi, Google, is my search engine of choice on Mozilla Firefox, and the Os on my computer is Windows 10. Google search is no longer active from any scroll down or top tab bar. Have a nice day.

help me to use the browser!

I just simply need it to maximize.

I'm not too tech savvy. The only thing I tried was to reinstall Firefox which did not help.

I currently use an extension to fill passwords, so I have passwords in firefox turned off. However, one of my logins shows an 'eye' which I believe is firefox wanting to provide the password. I don't know how the eye got there, as all my other logins work with the extension. I have to go to the extension and physically copy the password to paste it in the password box. If I go to firefox settings, I have no passwords set. How do I get rid of the 'eye' for that login?

I run FF on a Windows desktop. I have 5 pinned tabs and one tab group. Today when I opened FF all of these had disappeared. This has happened before, so I have a screenshot of the 5 tabs and can restore those, but I didn't make one of the tab group (given that the whole point of it was to SAVE the tabs), and unfortunately those were the result of a lot of time spent researching.

Is there something I can to do make sure these tabs all actually get saved from one session to the next? This unreliability of FF wastes a lot of time and starts me thinking about going back to Chrome which at least has the virtue of more stability. What is the point of all these features (I was really happy when you created the tab groups) if I can't rely on them?

This happens often. I start Firefox, and on the home page is a list of articles linked to several different publications. So I'm generally already on a mission, but I think "I'll come back to that article later", and I go off to do what I logged in to do. And when I get back to the article a few minutes or hours later, it's gone! There is a new set of articles. The articles have all refreshed, and the one I wanted to read is gone. So can I see back to what that was? Or some other way to retrieve that article I never got to read before it went away?

Why am I getting a 403 Forbidden message when I'm trying to access www.UFC.com, the Ultimate Fighting Championship website??? This site is save in my Bookmarks and I've not had previous issues! Be advised that I tried to access it on MS Edge and had no problem at all!!! If this continues, or if more sites are "Forbidden", I'll happily scrap your server platform!

I lost everything in a tragic housefire recently and I cannot remember the exact username I used for my Mozilla Account. Of course, this means I have also lost years of valuable Favorites and Passwords and Logins.

Is there anyway to find out what my login name was?

How can I open an ad on a one-time basis, as if there were an option when right-clicking?

Sometimes we search for something we want to buy. The ad is near the top of the search results and seems to be worth investigating.

But we can't open the ad. Our wonderful ad blocker is, like our guard dog, too zealous sometimes protecting us.

The answer I'm looking for is NOT to go into Settings, etc. That's swatting a fly with a sledge hammer.

Several web sites say that they detect this ad block on my pc , but I can not find it through my pc sites. It seems to be kind of a worm that can not be disabled. I am using Firefox.

For no apparent reason, all Firefox 140.0.4 on Windows 10 crashed and when it was relaunched it did not restore any open tabs, reverting instead to the home page. All history is gone, no previously open tabs are windows appear in the history list. This computer has syncing enabled.

I used about: profiles on the Win 10 machine and it only shows the one that is currently in use. I copied the 2 files found in the along with places.sqlite into a temp directory. I did a search for index.dat and it is not found on the Win 10 computer.

Even worse: another computer running Win 11 that is syncing with the Win 10 machine is also now missing its history. Is there a way to recover from this?

Note: I am generating this from the Win 11 machine, not the problematic Win 10 machine.

recently some websites won't open. in other browsers sites open fine. problems with pinterest.com figma.com cleared the browser, deleted cookies and cache, reinstalled the browser everything opens in google chrome, i attach screenshots

I am having issues with sites, where I can access main page but then when i try to move onto another area of the site I just get spinning. I have had this on different sites, from Amazon, Disney. I have tried clearing cache, i have made sure Firefox up to date but can be very sporadic.

As the Subject line says, Firefox will act like it's working normally for a little bit but shortly after using it websites stop loading and no new websites can be accessed. Usually after about 10 minutes. Closing and reopening Firefox restarts the cycle. Works for a bit, then stops. Other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome work fine.

I've checked my Firewall, deleted and re-added Firefox, made sure it had both Public and Private Network access. Also tried using Firefox in Troubleshoot mode and tried resetting Firefox. Same behavior, made no difference.

I don't see any error messages when this happens. Tabs just spin and load indefinitely with nothing ever appearing in the window. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello and sure hope someone can help me. Fire Fox is my browser that I have had for a year or so. Pls understand that I am 80+ and am not as sharp as I once was. I am using a desk top that I have had for years. Several days ago I was on the web looking around. I don't remember where I was on the net but I am thinking it was Face Book. Anyway, up came this offer saying I could create a new profile and a new name on Face Book if I wanted to. I have always wanted to do that so I started filling out the paper work. I made up a profile name and a user name and was moving on to the next part when it came to me that this might be a scam, so I canceled what I was doing, or tried to. Boxes kept coming up telling me that I needed to finish filling out the form, but I X'd out of that too, several times. Then the box said "you need to finish filling this out or you will never hear from us again. Then I shut the desk top down until the next morning. In the am, I went on Fire Fox and went to the Face Book site. For awhile all I got was pretty much a blank page with no way to do anything. A day later the sight came up kinda but things were a bit different. There were some things like my profile picture at the top rightwas gone and then Boxes were coming up telling me to complete the paper work I had started. By this time I knew that someone was trying to scam me. I tried to find several sites that were generally on my home page of Facebook when I signed in, but they were gone now along with other things. I went on two another browser and got on Facebook and found things to be very normal, so what ever happened only effects the Fire Fox browser. I would sure like to fix this so I could use Fire Fox to connect with Facebook. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
