Firefox Community Forum

I had lots of trouble making Firefox work yesterday, after what I believe was a Mozilla update I had to uninstall and then reinstall. What I am experiencing after the new install and all updates is: I placed the icon on the taskbar. when I open Firefox it opens a new icon in the taskbar. I have two icons when using firefox instead of two like it has always been before. In the picture, the icon on the left is always there. The one on the right opens when I open firefox. Is it supposed to work like this? It is a windows issue? Is it A mozilla issue? Anyone else having this issue. I have tried different ways after deleting the icons, to place it back on the taskbar. I used the pin to taskbar, drag and drop on taskbar... Any ideas. Just live with it? or fix it somehow?

I'm running Firefox on Win10 with no options to upgrade to 11. Since the latest firefox update installed, I'm getting a screen that says "Oops, something's wrong," and then I'm kicked out of gmail. A screen asks about sending a report to Firefox, which I check OK for. Today this is happening about every minute to 30 seconds . What needs to happen?

when searching from the address bar (see picture) the first result (before firefox suggests) is not a bookmark and not history. what is it and how do i get rid of it? I want bookmarks to always be the first result. I just went through the library and it doesn't appear in history/bookmarks. thank you

Firefox keeps shutting down and it will open up when I tap on the icon. I have to reload it to make it work, It seems like I have to do this everytime I shut the pc.

When I try to login with my Firefox account to configure Sync, I get a message that says that I am logged on to a different profile and asks if I want to switch. If I switch, I get the same result with the other profile. There is only one profile folder in the Profiles directory, there are no other files or folders. What should I do?

So I got myself into a pickle again trying to move my ffox tabs and bookmarks to a different pc. I knew there was something I didn’t like about sync so I avoided that. Until I was having problems transferring my tabs and bookmarks and I relented. Mistake. I had to sign in, not sure why I wasn’t already signed in or why I was signed out. It moved over my tabs fine. But somehow I ended up with some strange list of bookmarks that must be from months ago. If I am stuck I guess I can resurrect what I had although I am not happy at all with this mess. Any way to get back to what I had? It has messed up both the new pc and the original one now. I happened to find some files called session store backups that if that is any good for history those are only for tabs which are fine anyway. Any idea what to do or am I screwed?

I see many complaints about this new version v 149 for the Mac. The most outrageous one is that you can no longer drag links from a browser page (try BBC) to an email or a doc. You have to copy the link then it won't turn blue and only when received will it show up as a link. Like many others after 30 years use preferred over Safari and others I am seriously losing patience with Firefox. On the very day you announce split screen for Ff windows - you disable a vital feature that has worked for years causing me to waste so far 60 minutes of my hard pressed work time. Maybe this will be corrected in the next upgrade. But I am now intending to avoid all Firefox upgrades for 6 months after being offered. I doubt anyone on this forum will come back on this but my set-up is Mac OS Monterey - and Firefox v 148 worked perfectly before today. I hesitate to try and install the previous version because I am not used to doing such tech moves. Perhaps someone in the Mozilla head office congratulating themselves on the marvellous new upgrade will come across this but I doubt it

Hello: w11p laptop. FF dev 153.0b.11 (12july). The overflow option for the menu bar containing the address field does not let me move extensions icons from the "always view" choice to the overflow. I have already looked at "extensions & themes dropdown. I have already viewed possible answers here & the worst one says: "NO." That is, this used to be a useable item, but w/changes, no go. I have a 18 in /45cm (only) monitor & don't use FF full screen hardly ever, just 1/2 is enuf. Any solutions/add-ons for a workaround so I can see more than 1/2 in of address field (when the whole browser window is 6 in total)? Tx.

When my computer starts up and launches Firefox, the window is small and requires me to click on the full screen button. Before this it was opening at half-screen. Before that it was opening at full screen, which is preferred. I cannot get it to open in full screen despite all of the suggestions from this community. It's super-annoying. Why is this happening? What is the fix?

I am a novice and have not modified any code, but have added the extensions Duck Duck Go, Last Pass, Facebook Container, and Clear Cache. I have used these extensions for years and the problem is new. My problem must be a setting because I have not lifted the hood of Firefox or the OS and tinkered with it. Nor do I want to.

Running Firefox 152.0.5 on Mac OS Tahoe 26.5.1,

Has Firefox's interface gotten smaller? The tabs and search bar are much more difficult for me to read now, and the symbols are extra tiny. I cannot figure out how to enlarge them, since zooming in only affects individual web pages. I tried looking in Settings, specifically the Accessibility section, but I cannot find a way to enlarge this part of the web browser. Help!

It is been like 6 or 7 months now since i move to new pc and i been using firefox in this new pc together with other browsers. I am not really using firefox for anything related to google or gmail but just other website that have 0 relation to them. But i have still logged in my main accounts in firefox. It is been twice that once in a while, when i have to check my gmail accounts, all of them disappear and all i see is just sign in page only. There is no log in again or Please log in to this address or that address but straight up fresh page of google sign in page. I still logged back in when it first happened because i heard about the bug that happened with firefox update but now it happen again. It is as if my cookies just vanished but no, other sites still got their own cookies and there is many cache of other website here. other than my google accounts. What is happening here. Is my firefox bugged or something? Should i reinstall and have to relogin everything "again?"

I can't log into my Google account using Firefox. Can log in on Chrome using the same device so I don't think the device is the problem. It was fine until about an hour ago. When I attempted to click on a YouTube tab the tab closed. Any attempt to log in redirects me to a Google support page about deleting my cache and cookies. Which I've already done multiple times and I still can't log in.

I tried to login to Autodesk for some discussion about file retention, etc. I logged in using my user id and password and then Autodesk sent me a code as a two factor identification function. When the page opened the place to enter the code it looked like the image that I have attached. I could not enter the code supplied by Autodesk as FireFox kept trying to get me to do something with email masks. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

It all started when I deactivated my account. When I click sign in I'm getting:

HTTP Status 401 –

type Status Report

Description http.401

I've tried clearing cache but I still get the same browser. I've tried a different browser and go to the sign in page to enter my account/pw but as soon as it finishes logging me in I get the same error.
