Firefox Community Forum

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.

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.

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?

in FF 137.02 Win11Pro there is no reopen previous session option in the history menu, even though in settings, history, "firefox will" is set to remember history. We tried reinstalling FF. No luck.

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?

Firefox is no longer saving all my history. OR, I can't find it. I can't find it because: HISTORY/SHOW ALL HISTORY is now only showing "today". This occurred with v133, but I do not know if it occurred with any given update. I updated to 134.0.1. That did not fix problem. I have not tried regressing.

In the past, I was able to save YEARS of history (although I sometimes created a new profile to restart the history file due to its size).

1. I was using the "DYNAMIC HISTORY" addon, which worked fine for years. When I found Firefox was showing only the current days' history, I disabled that addon. Didn't fix anything.

2. "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option IS NOT SELECTED. NEVER HAS BEEN

3. OTHER SETTINGS: no - Always use private browsing mode yes - Remember browsing and download history yes - Remember search and form history NO - Clear history when Firefox closes

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am also baffled: googling this problem comes up empty handed.

Typically, I have about 6 windows open at a time with about 20 tabs in each window. Previously, I was able to shut down my computer and all of them would reopen again. But, today is the second day in a row that that hasn't worked even though I have Open Previous Tabs & Windows checked off in the settings.

I would appreciate figuring this out as it's a pain in the ass opening everything again.

• I just noticed that Firefox is supposed to open automatically. This doesn't happen either.

I'm using a LG laptop running Windows 11.

Why are my 3 rows of Home page tabs now so small? I can go to about:config, search for browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b and change to false and tabs are back to large. However, they soon revert back to very small. How can I keep them large?

a couple of months ago FF suddenly stopped reopening the last session and instead opens always the same from a specific date. performance has been poor to the point that I can barely browse FB anymore. cleaning temp files didn't help. what's the best way to go about it? is there a way to export the history before doing a refresh or new profile? thanks

i have checked open previous windows and tabs but every time i exit and reopen browser it is the default home page opens. I have unchecked delete cookies option exit also.
