I have a new computer, which is set up just like my old computer. for some reason, when I click "history" it is blank. I have tried and tried in settings to get it to show, but have not had any luck. Can you please help me?

I knew I shouldn't have did the 133 install.... I did a hard start up and wouldn't you know it, all my tabs are gone.... Gone where? And Why? Searching says that I should go to "session store-backups folder"

why in the hell should anyone have to go anywhere to do there own repair when the new updates should be working.....

There use to be within SETTINGS a click/link to restore previous tabs...Who's responsible for dropping that? I'm using 135 Version, and I knew I shouldn't have done the update, damn....I've got enough problems with Win 10 and Office and I don't need this aggravation.... Anyone who how to resolve this problem, and if so thanks!

The RESTORE SESSIONS option is not showing under HISTORY. My computer performed a scheduled reboot before I could closed my windows but once I reopened the FIREFOX browser I could not find the RESTORE SESSIONS option so I could get my closed browser windows again.

Customization:

I want to change the Microsoft desktop icons on shortcuts to a number of internet URLs. Unlike with other shortcuts, this is not possible with Firefox. Too many of the same icon are confusing. Seems to me it would be a simple and useful option.

Since the settings haven't given that option for years, the best way to have a local file as the new tab page was using autoconfig.cfg + autoconfig.js, as described in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1251199 But since the most recent update (v136.0), this stopped working.

The New Tab Override add-on has its own issues with using local files (can only load a .html file, no local CSS/JS, can't give a blank address bar for me to search in), so it doesn't solve the issue either.

This is very important to me, and others have been asking for this feature back for years. It feels awful to have the working solution stop working, in the browser that's supposed to be open and customizable.

I have always used the option to restore previous tabs on startup. This stopped working a few days ago. After digging into it a bit I discovered that using the ctrl+shfit+q command is the only way to shut down firefox and get my previous session restored after.

I have changed no settings and afaik nothing else has changed. This is wildly inconvenient when just the other day I could close it however I wished and come back the next day to all of my tabs without having to dig it out of the history of closed windows.

Why has this changed and is there any way to restore the previous functionality?

Dear Firefox Team,

I am using Firefox on my computer and have encountered a few issues:

1. When I delete all the website shortcuts, I am unable to add new website shortcuts. There is no option available to add them back.

2. When I use the "Unpin" option, the shortcut gets deleted completely, instead of just being unpinned. Ideally, the shortcut should remain available after unpinning.

I kindly request you to address these issues in an upcoming update so that users can have a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you.

I'm using Firefox 135.0 on a MacBook Pro with a large external monitor.

The menu bar at the top of the screen (NOT the Firefox window) has "Firefox, File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Windows, Help".

When I click on "History", it shows me the most recent 15 pages I visited. Always 15. I'd like to increase that number, as 15 is inconveniently few and uses less than half my screen height. However, I can't find a preference for it either under "Settings" or in "about:config".

I know that there are at least two ways to get to a more extensive history list, but they need more clicks.

So is there a way to change 15 into a larger number?

Thanks. Brendan.

Hello Mozilla,

I am about to trash Firefox ... an app that I have used for years, but in the past few weeks it has become an item of frustration.

I have the lastest version which in itself works great but recently cannot remember settings from session to session. I have reviewed comments on the subject but cannot find a solution.

Help please ... or it will be trashed within the week.

Somehow my Firefox searches started using DuckDuckGo, and none of my searches run/execute? Help what is the easiest way to remove DuckDuckGo as the search in FireFox?
