Firefox Support Forum

I used Windows function to close all windows to close firefox. Big mistake. I had 4 windows open and for some reason, Firefox decides to only save 3. I lost my main window with a few hundred tabs open. I realized that when I opened firefox back up and immediately wanted to restore it using Recently Closed Windows, which usually works, but not this time, because it's been 4 windows. I backed up the sessionstore-backups folder but it seems like the "upgrade" files are too large for it to handle and the recovery files don't contain the missing window.

Help?

On Windows 11, latest version, lots of addons including tree-style-tab, so empty header tabs are in the file for my pinned tabs.

I need a very simple solution to making my scroll bar wider...it suddently became very thin and I have a difficult time using it....if I can't fix it soon, I'll have to remove firefox and try another browser....I would rather continue to use firefox but, this narrow scroll bar makes if very difficult to use for me. I'm not good at computers so need a very simple solution if one is available. Thanks for any help

I just bought a new computer and signed into my account like normal. Bookmarks won't sync. I've been through about 3 computers over the last year and haven't had any issues till now. I've tried everything I can think of including: reinstall Firefox, sign in and out, reboot, click on sync several times, and nothing. Help! I'm using Windows 11 for the first time. Is that the issue?

I need The Firefox to become my search engine or Browser. I have been get the updates but Firefox did not become my Browser Help what do I do.???? I do not have a search engine Firefox will not down load why?

I click a link for Amazon for a book whether it is a given link via facebook or discord or through google and it will take me to a 'page is not found' page. If I open it in a private browser, it will pop up the actual page I wanted to go to. I can copy the page address from the private browser into my current regular browser and it will work. The addresses are completely exactly the same. But for whatever reason the links take me to 'page is not found' instead of the actual page.

macOS Ventura 13.0 Running Nightly 108.0a1 for over a week when today a window pops up saying that I have a new version and I should restart Nightly, so I do.

Afterwards, when I check my version, it hasn't changed; it's still 108.0a1.

However, the thing that has changed is that when I go to menu bar -> Window the list of windows is now sorted alphabetically whereas prior to the 'change' they were sorted in the order that they were created, which is what I wanted. I can't find a setting where I can change this behaviour back. Any ideas?

As extra info: When I look at my Firefox 106.0.5 browser, the windows are still sorted in create date order. I hope it stays that way.

I have my default yahoo mail font set as Modern - Small, but after I updated Firefox, the font displays as if it were Modern Narrow. It displays correctly in other browsers, but not in Firefox. I tried changing the default font in Yahoo Mail Settings. Other fonts work fine, but when I switch back to Modern - Small, it looks very squished.

Before my PC reset (as I felt it got bugged, so I did a hard reset), I killed all the devices before even realizing it and now my sync is not getting the addons extensions and the bookmarks which I saved for 2 whole years. Please help.

This happens only on my working PC at my office, which is the only one I leave open 24/7. But colleagues of mine said they have witnessed the issue also off work.

Basically, after some time I can only access internally (to the company) hosted websites. Anything else is in a perpetual "loading" phase. Then I need to restart firefox and then it works fine. This has become more and more common in the past month or two. I'm currently using version 106, but I'm sure to have experienced the issue across multiple releases.

I've tried this resource, but did not help https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can

Is there something I can look at, like some log files, consoles etc., to provide more insight into the issue?

Hello,

My version of Firefox started to malfunction.

Found the latest version of Firefox available, and installed it.

Resulted in total loss of data, I lost all bookmarks, passwords, and add-ons.

A folder called "Old Firefox data" was created on my desktop.

Is there still a chance to recover my data?

Why was all data lost?

ACCESS Denied

I need permission to access some websites on this server

Another separate message is: Check that Firefox has permission to access the web, (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Videos in my ArcGIS StoryMap do not play in the Firefox browser. They work fine in Chrome and Edge browsers.

Installing the Flash Player plugin did not seem to help.

I don't know what caused this but my searches at eBay are screwed up. This started happening after a recent Firefox update but it could have been initiated by an errant keystroke. I don't know.

I often do "wildcard" searches of eBay. Now when I type "(" for a wildcard search, some other word (or words) that I had previously searched for appears in the search bar and a menu pops up with "Recent Searches", "Saved Searches" and "Saved Sellers". Ironically, in that Saved Seller menu a seller is displayed that I purchased an item from, probably a year ago, but that seller is NOT in my saved sellers!!!

I've tried all I can figure to do in the browser settings to correct this, to no avail.

Now for the keystroke part... I was in the process of starting a wildcard search when this started happening. I accidentally hit the key (I'm not sure what it's purpose is) below the right Shift key (looks like a menu with an arrow) simultaneously, as well as the "9" key (for left parenthesis) . I remember a "menu" popped up below the search, but I clicked off of it in the search bar. That's when the stuff hit the fan.

BUT... it was also the first search I was performing after a Firefox update. HELP!

Over the last few days I've been noticing that the firefox browser will stop while I'm typing and then a minute later the text will appear, also if I move to a different window while this is happenning the text dfirefox won't open and when it does the text won't appear. I know some people have solved this by turning off a text cursor thing but I checked and it wasn't on. I updated and turned off my laptop but that only fixed it for a few hours, and then it started freezing again.

Hi there!

I have a pretty frustrating issue with custom search engines. I use custom search engines all the time to look up words on a dictionary website. In cases where I need to look up something that is more than one word, I'm unable to use this feature because Firefox automatically adds '+' to encode spaces to the URL. since the website that I use does not know how to deal with that, I am unable to use this otherwise convenient feature in cases where my searches utilize spaces.

is this behavior adjustable in any way?

Hi,

Everytime I update Firefox, I have to continuouly verify my PNC bank account. It's not on their side, it's something with Firefox.  I tried adding to remove enhabced tracking proctection & to allow the cookies from the site. How can I get to my login????

Thanks, Jeanne

I have set firefox up to open specific tabs when it starts up but whenever windows or firefox does software updates, I no longer have my startup tabs.

And after updates the "Show results from sponsors" button is ticked even though I've turned it off. I want to support mozilla instead of the other guys but this really isn't ideal.

TIA for advice / guidance.
