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 looked on the web and continue to find all sorts of references on how to configure your browser to open the tabs I had open last time I closed the browser. I have the "Open previous windows and tabs" checked in the General settings....and it doesn't work! How is that? Any special thing I need to do to get it to work?

There is a session with 15 important tabs. Previously, all 15 tabs were restored when closing and then opening.

But now, when closing and opening, the following happens: 1) The first time you click on Mozilla startup, nothing opens.Clicking again opens the home page.And everything. 2)When you click on launch, the home page opens.And everything.


In both cases, pressing Ctrl+Shift+t restores the previous session with 15 tabs.

The error appeared unexpectedly.There were no critical sorties.Mozilla's version is the latest.Tell me how to fix it.

Linux HomePage UI - shortcuts view much worse after recent update

Hello, I've been using Firefox as my main browser for work for a while and I've always been happy with it. However, a recent update (which happened a few days ago) seems to have messed up the UI when it comes to homepage shortcuts. They became much smaller and narrower, while the font seemingly became larger. Now only a few letters fit in the descriptions of every shortcut, which makes it frustratingly difficult to identify them. Please fix this! I've included a screenshot of what my homepage looks now at 100% zoom and with minimum font size 9 selected. There's so much unused space to the sides, while the shortcuts text gets cut after only a few symbols. Increasing the zoom doesn't help.

How to receover deleted history

few days ago, i was trying to remove unimportant entries from the browsing history section. i discovered that my delete button wasn't working and no entry was being deleted, not even when i was trying to remove using the mouse right side button. at first, i thought the delete button of the keyboard has become faulty. but i found that it was working fine in other apps or parts of the Windows OS. so i tried again removing the entries but couldn't do it. then i closed the firefox browser and reopened it. to my horror, i found that all entries before November in the firefox history section have just disappeared. nothing is there. i felt very much shocked and sad because there were lots of important entries which i have stored for almost two years. now i don't know how to restore my lost history entries. just because of some errors in the firefox program, i have lost my long saved entries. please suggest me how to restore it.

No search history is covered in the settings. Used to be able to be able to check HISTORY in settings but it always is empty. Something must have changed with the updates cause this has been going on for several months now. Appears you've done away with the History feature. Can find no help in your settings concerning how to restore history. This was a useful feature and Im swiching to Google which I despise but at least they still offer this feature I like.

Years ago i had an issue with this useless browser. I had the setting to start where i was left of, so the taps should reopen as they were but every time it was starting from the beginning also with different windows than what i choose from settings. i have deleted the browser and now i have downloaded it again but i face the same issue. You cannot talk with a real agent so this is the worst browser ever. I am only try to use it because i have to, otherwise i would NEVER EVER use it again after all this issues. As i cannot get help from Firefox as they don't even have support team... Can anyone please help me with that. Thank you

I was working on my computer when I accidentally clicked out of my tab that had all my pinned windows on it. But then I accidentally started a new tab and deleted it. So now when I try to restore previous session it goes to the tab I just deleted and not the one with all my pins. Is there a way I can get all my pinned tabs back?
