Firefox Community Forum

I just tried to import my bookmarks from an HTML file. In the Bookmarks => Manage bookmarks => Import and backup => Import Bookmarks from HTML, after selecting the HTML file and then clicking "Close", nothing happens.

If I click on Bookmarks again, and look under import bookmarks, nothing shows up.

How do I get my book,arks to import from the HTML file, then have the bookmark menu appear as a drop down menu on my Firefox tool bar?

i am using the Windows 10 PC version of Firefox, with updates set to automatic.

i've been having a consistent issue where themes won't be maintained between restarts of the application. If i set it to any theme, close the browser, and reopen it, it will show the chosen theme for about a second, and then revert to a strange non-existent theme that is a slate gray background with white text and no color accents. It will still show the selected theme as being active in the themes menu, and disabling and re-selecting the theme i want will make it reappear again.

i've been ignoring this issue thus far as it's just a cosmetic issue and i didn't care enough to go digging for a solution. However, with the 133.0.3 update yesterday, the default theme is getting messed up as well. It seems like it's mixing up the light and dark themes, as it has the grey/black background, but all the secondary text is displaying in black, meaning i can't see the text in the application menu, address bar, or bookmarks bar folders.

This issue is occurring with Mozilla themes, Marketplace themes, and custom Color themes. Does anyone know of a fix for this issue, or at the very least a fix for the black text?

Hi, on certain websites, like Steam Store and IMDB (for video game or movie/tv trailers), when I play a video but then switch tabs or minimize etc. the video immediately pauses itself, on other websites however like YouTube for example, this isn't the case and the video continues to play in the background, which is how I want it to behave for the websites mentioned above as well.

So I just wanted to ask if this is a setting imposed by the website itself, like Steam, or if it comes from the browser or maybe video player software or windows side etc. and I can change it by changing some settings or something, or is this something I can't do anything about and just have to accept as it is by unbypassable design of the website?

Thanks for any help or info.

Insert picture in email text does not work. When attempting to drag/insert picture into email text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears. Firefox 133.03 64-bit is up to date on Windows 10. I have not been able to find a solution. The dragged/inserted picture always ends up outside the email text box and cannot be moved into it. What is a solution? Is this something new or do I need to reload Firefox?

It worked last Christmas!!! It is not important now that the holiday is over but would like to fix it.

When I use Chrome as my browser, it automatically loads my Gmail account without further sign in. When I use Firefox, I have to log onto Gmail every time and it want two stage authentication, even when I have ticked to option to bypass this. Not the end of thw world but iritating, especially when I have left my phone in another room.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Two days ago, my Firefox was updated to version 133.0.3. Since then, the add-on "I don't care about cookies" doesn't work well anymore. Unteil two days ago, I hadn't been asked about cookies for a very very long time, now I'm being asked several times a day. I installed the add-on "I still don't care about cookies" in addition, but that doesn't help either.

I updated my Malwarebytes protection 3 days ago and since then I cannot access my Windows 10 programs using my Firefox browser as before ! I heard from Malwarebytes there could be some incompatibility between Firefox and their latest update but they had no information as yet .. Is Firefox working on this problem and when will it be fixed? I do not want to use another browser..

  Many thanks in advance.   Peter B

I've always chosen the Settings option to notify me about updates but let me choose to install them. Those notifications still give me the option to "dismiss," but these days ignore that and proceed to install the updates anyway. Worse, I can't even choose to restart at my convenience: The browser basically stops working until I do that, displaying the message I've attached here. (There used to be a Settings option to "Use a background service to install updates" that could be unchecked, but it's not there any more.)

This is not only obnoxious but a practical inconvenience because every time it happens I have to repopulate my Private Browsing sites. I'd hoped that there would be a fix in the latest update (that just forced itself on me) - 132.0 - but no.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I use Firefox on a Dell Windows laptop. I used to be able to drag pinned bookmarks from my toolbar to the sidebar in the toolbar customization page; now, I can't. What's changed, and how do I move them now?

Hi - Wondering if anyone has ideas on how to fix this and recover my bookmarks:

1) Had to reset my Windows 10 laptop which uninstalled Firefox. 2) When I reinstalled firefox and logged into my account, none of my extensions, bookmarks downloaded or synced 3) I synced my phone (logged into my account correctly with my data) to the firefox on my computer (via QR code), hoping that would fix my laptop's browser syncing issue. Instead it deleted all my phone's firefox bookmarks when it synced with my computer (ugh!)

Is there a way to recover my bookmarks from my phone's firefox or they are all lost? My phone's firefox still has the history but no longer my bookmarks.

Thanks!

I keep getting a firefox upload display for a old file explorer. I should be showing the current file explore data. Why am I getting the message 'firefox upload and not just file explorer. When I first check the computer 10 my current updated is displayed un the tag at top as file explorer Thanks, Perry

I use a program called Beat Buddy Manager Online (https://bbmo.singularsound.com/) Currently, it does not work in my preferred browser (Firefox).

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

Thanks,

This is a hail Mary. Microsoft changed the behavior of Windows, supposedly for security, so that clicking the Firefox button to make it the default web browser is no longer allowed. Instead, I get taken to the default apps section of Settings, where the only choices are Edge and Internet Explorer. No Firefox. Same with images and with video. Microsoft is not helping with this and I'm damned if I'm wading through probably a hundred or so file extensions changing each one individually. Somebody else must have run across this problem and maybe solved it?
