Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

When I use firefox for the first few minutes everything works great, but after about 5 minutes the browser stops refreshing old pages and will not load new pages. If I close the browser and reopen it the same thing will happen... works for a bit and then stops. I have cleared browser history and cookies and this did not help. Any advice?

I went away and when I returned to my computer Firefox was closed. I opened it and it was like a clean install on a new computer, nothing there except the defaults. The version is 129.0. I do not remember what the version was before this occurred. Was it an automatic update from Microsoft Store? Are my bookmarks and extensions recoverable?

This is a persistent issue for many a version. I've tried these config settings too and it still consistently-inconsistent resets it sometimes. app.update.auto (->false) app.update.auto.migrated (->false) app.update.enabled (->false) app.update.service.enabled (->false) DisableAppUpdate (->true)

It does this on closing hanging browser or on system power off (without closing browser manually). Also if setting is set to don't update -> close browser within a minute -> when reopened it is on autoupdate again.

I like to play Caesar's slots and up until two weeks ago it worked just fine, but now something happened. When I open up the site it goes thru the start up process as normal but, when it reaches the play page, it shows that page for a second and then goes to a blank page. The tab says playing Caesars slots, but nothing ever returns.

Can someone help? Other games play without a problem'

I just purchased and installed a new laptop. Firefox started this irritating thing that when I'm on the edge of the browser and click, it expands or when I click on the resize square, it gives me about 6 options to choose from instead of one like changing from full page to my set size and back. I have seached google up and down and there must be a setting somewhere even in About: config to turn this option OFF and not have to continue to go through multiple browers with each click

There are 48 responses to Sync between laptops, but nothing happens when I click replies.

My connected devices shows one of my Windows 11 laptops, but not the other, and it still shows the Windows 10 desktop which I replaced.

How do I add my  2nd Windows 11 laptop to the device list and then sync everything from the first laptop to the second?

Recently, as in the last two days, when I am in the process of filling in forms online, Firefox auto-fill offers me the choice of my phone number and a phone number that is unknown to me. I am 100% certain that I never erroneously entered this second number when filling in a previous form. The number bears no resemblance to my own. How the number came to be in Firefox auto-fill is a mystery to me. I used Canada 411 reverse look-up to check the number and discovered that it is a valid phone number belonging to a person I do not know and have never had any contact with. My question, then, is how did his phone number end up in Firefox on my computer? Is it possible I have been hacked?

How do I change the order links open in new tabs? So far I've only found two orders they open in: X, X, O, X Using the above as an example, O will serve as the active tab that multiple links are being opened from. The only two orders I have found tabs will open on desktop are as follows: X, X, O, X, 1, 2, 3, 4 X, X, O, 1, 2, 3, 4, X But the order I am looking to achieve is the same order that the mobile app opens links in which is as follows: X, X, O, 4, 3, 2, 1, X I have already tried all combinations of the advanced settings "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" and "browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent" but still have not been able to achieve the desired order.

When tabs are inactive for a long time, they are unloaded from memory and their icons disappear. This is inconvenient because you need to manually load each tab to visually see which one is which, so that the icon is loaded. When I close and open the browser, the icons that are present do not disappear, it seems to happen after a while, as if some kind of cache is deleted in the browser. In such suspended tabs, there is also no place for the icon physically, and when I open the tab, the name physically shifts to the right and the icon appears.

Suspended tabs without icons on screenshot 1 are highlighted in red. The 2nd screenshot shows a list of all my extensions. I use Simple Tab Groups to hide tabs, so I have a lot of them and some kind of memory offloading is necessary, but the lack of icons prevents me from using the sessions I created earlier. And Simple Tab Groups most likely does not affect the absence of icons, because when I unload tabs from memory through this extension, the icons remain.

I would be grateful for advice on how to fix the situation.
