When you're waiting for the website to respond, there is a very small black blob that moves backwards and forwards from left to right in the firefox browser Tab of the window you are using. It is too small especially if there are a dozen Tabs, or more.. Is there any way/Add-On to make this larger/more obvious please?

Months ago, I had some tabs open on my PC. After I haven't opened my browser for months, these tabs was no longer show up on the Firefox on PC. But when I connected my Firefox account on another device and synced my history, those tabs appeared in the "Open Tabs" again. Those make my "Open Tabs" verbose and difficult to get the information I need. But since I can't see these tabs on my PC, I can't close them. To remove those tabs, I tried reconnecting my account and clearing the local datas on my Firefox on my PC, but it didn't work.

I have quite a few tiles on firefox I can not delete. They will sometime move around the page but will not go away. I switched to firefox recently because of IE going away and have been trying for several months with no results. I'm not sure what the boxes on the home screen are called but hope someone understands what I mean.

I just discovered that I cannot any longer import logins by a file. The procedure just does not execute. It appears that this was broken in Firefox update to 104.0 (at least that is the update where I discovered the problem).

I use "import logins by file" fairly often to update Firefox logins on my laptop from the Firefox logins on my desktop--instead of using "Firefox Sync".

Started my computer this morning and tried to use Firefox and it froze. So bad that I had to restart my computer. I re-installed Firefox but it deleted my bookmarks. What do I have to do to get them back? Fortunately I did a backup on my computer before re-installing Firefox. Is there some other way to get them back other than to restore the backup? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just wish I wasn't such a Luddite when it comes to computers.

Hi forum,

I use Firefox 104.0 (64-bit) in Ubuntu. I use Firefox to connect to my gmail and my professional services which requires two factor authentication. For each of these services I check "Don't ask me again on this device". But each time I restart my laptop, I have to enter again my TFA. I guess this is a configuration problem, but I can't find which one is it: I don't know browse in private mode, so it should be something else. Any ideas? Kind regards

Hi, after loging in to a secure website and reading contents - if I am on a page and reading for a short while, even though moving up and down the page but not switching to another page - or if entering text into queries or creating content on the page, it is taken as inactivity and I am logged out of that website. Can this timeout period be extended so that I am not logged out even while entering response or reading different sections of the page I have navigated to? TIA

In the last few versions of Firefox the "Always ask you where to save files" does not work properly. Sometimes it asks, sometimes it automatically downloads. The majority of items I download are in PDF. Some I am asked & put on desktop to move later while some are automatically sent to Downloads folder. In Help, it says to go to Settings > General > Applications to get this to happen but under PDF I have it set to "Always ask". And Firefox is not doing this. Will this be fixed in future versions? There seem to be a lot of people that have this problem, which is basically creating work. I understand it only takes seconds to get them but over the course of time it's not efficient. I've been using Firefox for years & do not always agree with some of the changes but this one is really frustrating because it is not consistent. I only want to be able to have the where to/save as box show up when I attempt to download a PDF. Any other or real suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, JF

8/24/2022 for the last week Firefox has been opening in a small window in the left corner of the screen. I found the "fingerprint" suggestion, but that did not apply to my case. I stopped using Firefox as the default browser for a while, but when selected it for specific instances, still the same issue. This AM I upgraded to version 104.0, still the same problem.

Thanks in advance, Dave
