To whom it may concern: I turned my rather old (like me) desktop computer on and got this big red blast of color. How do I change that ? PLEASE keep it simple. I'm having trouble learning new things.

2. I don't at present have a smart or dumb phone. Just a land line so I don't text. I just want to read my mail and watch an occasional how to on YouTube. I'm not a programmer. How do I cut back on some of the technology being forced on me ? Thanks,

Ray

Is there a toggle to turn off the purple theme in private windows? As an elderly person I find it hard to see things and it's quite irritating to say the least. This only started showing up in my Windows 10 and my linux systems in FF Version 106 and is also violating my preferences to have a totally blank page when a new private window is opened. Suggestions would be most appreciated.

I just installed Firefox on a new computer and am having lots of issues w/set-up. I found the place in settings that lets you chose the home page and how new tabs are displayed, but the only options for new tabs seem to be Mozilla's default and blank page. For now I've set it to blank page but I'm trying to find a way that any new tab I open defaults to google. Thank you for your help.

Bookmarks that I have added do not show up in the Bookmarks Menu folder that I have chosen using Triple bar menu_Bookmarks_Bookmark Current Tab. I have taken the search bookmarks to find the correct bookmark but this is getting tedious. I have also discovered that the folders located in the Sidebar Listing don't agree with the Bookmarks Menu on the toolbar.

A sample of four folders: FOLDER Qty Per Sidebar Qty Per Bookmark Menu A 16 6 (Some but not all in the sidebar belong here.) B 9 5 (Some but not all in the sidebar belong here.) C 8 8 Hooray a good match! D (Other BM) 29 25

Some of the entries in the sidebar have no relation to the folder subject. While I may have put some entries in the wrong place the two folders with the same name should have the same bookmarks displayed. At least that is my expectation. This happened soon after an update.

There are no incorrect entries in the Bookmarks Menu bar.

When I try to log in to my account at t-mobile.com I get the message that Firefox is not supported in incognito mode. https://www.t-mobile.com/unsupported_firefox_incognito


Logo Corporate Firefox is no longer supported in private mode

The Firefox browser is no longer supported in private mode on our site. To continue, please take Firefox out of private mode or choose another browser. We recommend Chrome, Safari or Edge.

Do I have to compromise my privacy and security just to use the t-mobile.com website?

This happens only on the t-mobile.com website and only after I try to log in to my account. If I don't try to log-in to my account their website works just fine with Firefox.

Thanks for any help on this situation.

Firefox keeps asking to sign-in for the past few months, which gets me irritated each time. Why my Google accounts for mail, sheets, docs etc getting logged out each time I switch off my PC? When I switch it back on and open Firefox to access my Google tools like mail, sheets and other stuff, it asks for a log in every time. I have to sign in to my workspace every single time and also for my wordpress dashboard. Why does not this browser save my credential and show the dashboard directly just like in Chrome?

I want to save my login credentials forever so that I can jump into my stuff directly!

Before today, my 1Password 8 password manager worked just fine with Firefox browser on Windows 11. I updated my Firefox browser to 106.0.1 (64 bits) today and all of a sudden my 1Password manager stopped filling in my usernames and passwords for me into my logins. How do I get this functionality back so my 1Password manager works with Firefox again? Is there some setting that I failed to update in Firefox? Thanks. MR
