Why does my context menu show everything in the world? How can I change this back? did this come with an update? most of these options don't work, even the simple "save image as" function

I intended to change the language setting in my browser temporarily from English to Swedish. But now I cannot change it back to English. I see the option and I click on it but it does not do anything. I cannot even take away Swedish (svenska) as a language.

I want to pin a Firefox website to my taskbar in Windows 11. I can create a shortcut for the website on my desktop but when I try moving it onto my taskbar, it doesn't get added (get the dreaded circle with the line through it) and right-clicking on it does not give me an option to "add to taskbar" like other browsers do.

I thought I had too many pins on my taskbar so I deleted one and then tried to add the shortcut, but get same error.

I tried adding a random app to my taskbar by right clicking on the app and using the "pin to task bar" option and it works perfectly.

So, what is the secret to adding a Firefox website url to my taskbar????

every time firefox does these automatic updates in the background, it resets certain security settings that cause me anger and frustration.

example: is that I access all my secure sites via Lastpass... and the latest update has killed that ability and I need now to go down into the bowels of the firefox settings to figure out how to get Last pass functionality working again...it is a huge time waster and frustrating when I need to use this immediately.

any advice for me before I give up firefox and revert to using a Chrome browser again?

I went from Chrome to Firefox several months ago when I discovered that Firefox would automatically reopen all open tabs from previous session. I always put my pc in "sleep" mode at night. This morning it wouldn't "wake up" so I held the power button down until it shut down (Windows 11). Then I hit the power button and it started fine. I opened Firefox (Version 333.0) and all my tabs were gone. My wife uses Firefox on her Mac laptop and the same thing happened to her. She put her laptop to sleep last night and this morning all her tabs were gone.

After 3 hours of restoring my tabs, i went to settings and the option for Firefox to reopen all tabs from previous session was grayed out and clicking the circle next to it didn't do anything.

I am assuming this was caused by a Firefox update and am hoping someone has a fix for this. I'd hate to go back to Chrome, but I can't live with spending three hours of each day restoring tabs. I'd appreciate and be eternally grateful for any assistance and fix for this issue.

Thanks!

With the release of Firefox 133, I switched from the add-on Tree-sized tabs to the newly implemented Vertical tabs, and so far I really like the feature. Although, I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the width of the expanded sidebar? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Somehow, my desktop started showing a beautiful scenic picture, that it changes several times per day. I can right click and get more information about the picture, but I find no way to turn this off. It not only is distracting, but often the lack of contrast make folders on my desktop hard to read.

I cannot pin the extension to the toolbar. The extension is not shown in the puzzle icon dropdown, and it is not in the overflow. Please add an automatic pin to the toolbar when a new extension is added! How do I pin it now?

There used to be a way to add a web site as a shortcut to the Home page by dragging the link and dropping it somewhere. Those instructions seem to have disappeared. One of the sites I had pinned to the Home page has changed. I can remove the old link (tile), but how do I add the new link as a tile? The help articles no longer provide any information about how to do this. Just "pinning' the page adds it to the toolbar, where I don't want it, but does not add it to the Home page. Do I have to just close and open that site a bunch of times in order to get it to appear???? There should be a more sensible way.
