Whenever I want to access a particular site, Double down casino which I've been accessing for years, I always get the alert shown in the attachment. It happens only with Firefox. How do I stop Firefox from blocking me to that site only?

I've deselected "Clear history when Firefox closes" 3 times already, and it keeps coming back. I don't want my browsing, and especially search and form history to be deleted, I use it every day. How do I stop this option from coming back? Or do I have to abandon my decades-long relationship with Firefox and find another, less annoying browser?

All of the settings I had setup for my "new tab" page have disappeared, having been reset to some default Firefox page. How can I recover these shortcuts without having to recreate everything from scratch? Even my background has been updated without my consent.

Thanks, Jacquie

I'm not a PC expert. "Search Bookmarks" does not list all my previous bookmarks. In layman's terms, how do I recover them for daily use? The few that are listed were previously rarely used. Thank you for your help.

Was suddenly signed out and have been subsequently getting this error message "Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." when trying over and over to sign back in. Despite the error message, I still got email notifications and notifications on my other devices' Firefox that I've signed in successfully. What could be the issue?

I have lost all the short cuts on my home page. As I use these very frequently, this is a big problem for me. I know this problem has been raised previously, but none of the solutions work for me.

I have checked the short cuts still exist in about:config...newtabs.pinned. They are still there. I've refreshed Firefox. I've loaded the latest version I've toggled the number of lines of short cuts in 'customise' I've enabled sponsored short cuts I can get recent activity slots, and curated stories. I do not want to set up a completely new profile as I have an extensive list of bookmarks.

Is there anything else I can do?

I've included a gif of the issue. I'm not sure how to "replicate" it.

I have Material Fox Updated installed, and I'm unsure if it contributed to the problem, since I see other threads about this issue as well.

I've tried removing extensions to no effect, so I assume none of my extensions are contributing to the issue either.

When I am on a website that I want to save to my bookmarks, I click on the asterisk at the top right of the website, select a folder from the bookmarks menu and click on "Save". This used to add the required website to the bottom of the selected bookmark folder so that I could easily use it again at a later date. This no longer works. I go through the procedure but the website does not appear in the bookmark folder. I have seen related questions and answers but not exactly the same and would be grateful for any assistance.

Version 145.0.1.

It's a helpful feature I'm sure for some users to be able to drag a tab onto another tab and have it auto-create a tab group for you.

However I have been dragging tabs to reorganize their order in the window my whole life. Now, they are all of a sudden creating tab groups.

Example (one of many) I order my amaz*n shopping tabs by item price to compare.

I would like to turn this "drag to create tab group" OFF (back to the old behavior).

Note: it can be confusing: there's a new feature detailed in the blog: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/tab-groups-updates/ which is dragging a tab onto a tab GROUP. I am NOT asking about that. I'm asking about dragging one tab on top of another which are NOT YET IN A GROUP and having firefox CREATE a NEW group triggered by that action.

In about:config searching for "drag" the only things I can see are

browser.tabs.dragDrop.createGroup.delayMS 240 browser.tabs.dragDrop.expandGroup.delayMS 350 browser.tabs.dragDrop.moveOverThresholdPercent 80 browser.tabs.dragDrop.pinInteractionCue.delayMS 500 browser.tabs.dragDrop.selectTab.delayMS 350

But I can't make any sense of those.

It's happened about three times now where, upon a restart of my computer, Firefox completely signs me out of my account. And when I sign back in, I'm also signed out of any other websites I was signed into before, all my add-ons are still there but are acting like they've just been installed for the first time, everything saved to my Firefox color is gone, and any changes I've made to my settings have been reset to the default. How can I stop this from happening, or at the very least, why does this happen in the first place?
