Hi,

I have read conflicting statements. I changed my firefox account password and when I sync I am getting none of my bookmarks and other information.

Has all my account data been deleted because I changed my password?

At some point, I have lost the ability to use "Command `" to toggle among open pages: those listed as available in the Windows menu.

Has this function been deleted? Can I restore it? Any assistance appreciated.

Since a recent upgrade, so many of my banking and work sites are non-functional. It is frustrating. I have to switch to stupid, high AD Edge browser to get things done. I added the problem websites to allow pop-ups, sometimes it works. I am pretty savvy and cannot be an outlier.

I am new to Firefox and I am trying to set my account up. I have put passwords in and so far I have had to change them. I have tried putting a authentication code in and it won't accept it after checking it. A Liverpool address came up and I don't live in Liverpool..

Hello everyone,

I have a very weird behaviour with one of my Apple MacBook Pro M1 (2020) with macOS 13.3.1 and Firefox. After removing Firefox (trash + remainings in /Library and ~/Library), Firefox is gone... until I reboot. It then reinstalls automatically!

One weird thing I see in Disk Utility is an "Apple UDIF read-only compressed (bzip2) Media" that I cannot delete because it's in currently in use (see screen shots attached).

I can also see it in with diskutil list:

/dev/disk5 (disk image):

  #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
  0:     Apple_partition_scheme                        +391.2 MB   disk5
  1:        Apple_partition_map                         32.3 KB    disk5s1
  2:         Apple_Driver_ATAPI                         4.1 KB     disk5s2
  3:                 Apple_HFSX Firefox                 391.1 MB   disk5s3

There is no dmg file attached to it, I have no idea where it comes from.

My question is: how can I uninstall Firefox on this computer?

Thank you for any help, Panda

Hey people!

Stuck with an issue. Need your help. Tried all the documented troubleshoot options - like refreshing, disabling hardware acceleration, Recommended Performance, troubleshoot mode, etc.

New installation. Worked fine. Logged into Firefox Account for Sync. Since then, High CPU usage even with no tabs open. No clue why.

This is the profiler report: https://share.firefox.dev/3Khzq1C

Still stuck on 35%-50%-60% CPU usage with just one tab. And just a new blank tab!

The profiler report, if can be decoded in laymen terms, as to what activity is causing so much CPU usage, will be of immense help.

Why does firefox sometimes have spell check for me and sometimes not? Like right now I see it saying I need to capitalize "firefox" with a red line under it. However, in my email (outlook) it usually does not work. But sometimes does. I've turned if off/on multiple times and tried other things. Yesss I've downloaded the latest, etc.

Such an annoying problem. I want to support Mozilla and use their things, but man... This is big for me.

Thanks

The latest update of Firefox has rendered browsing nearly impossible . Many websites do not open at all, without showing error messages. For example, if I type google.com in the search bar and hit enter, nothing happens. I can, however, visit DuckDuckGo.com and search for Google. The search results come up as usual but if I click the link to google.com, again, nothing happens. If I search for "New York Times" on DuckDuckGo and click the link for nytimes.com the new york times website opens without a problem. Is there a solution to this?

this is working in IE, Chrome, and somehow in OPera, but not in Firefox, any idea why?? <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="normalize28.4.23.css"> <style> .main-div { position:relative; width:100%; max-width:1000px; height:100%; max-height:800px; background:lightblue url('Hotel.jpg') no-repeat center/cover; } .i-box { position:absolute; width:100px; height:100px; background-color:orange; bottom:1%; right:1%; z-index:1; text-align:center; font:bold 6em times, serif; line-height:50px; } .i-box span { font-weight:600; } .info-layers { position:absolute; width:80%; height:80%; bottom:10%; left:10%; display:none; } .info-layers > div:first-child { opacity:0.5; background-color:white; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform:translate(-50%, -50%); height:100%; width:100%; z-index:87; } /*=================================== ** info text **=================================== */ .info-layers > div:nth-child(2) { opacity:1.0; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; font-size:1.5em; letter-spacing:.08em; background-color:#222222; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform:translate(-50%, -50%); padding:2em 3em 2em; max-width:70%; z-index:90; } .i-box:hover { display:none;} .i-box:hover ~ .main-div:not(:hover) { opacity:0.5; } .i-box:hover + .info-layers { display:block; } .i-box:hover + .info-layers > div:first-child { opacity:0.5; width:80%; height:100%; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform:translate(-50%, -50%); z-index:87; background-color:white; margin:0; padding:0; } </style>

So today I open up Firefox, and my now tab bar is now on top of the browser address bar.

In addition to being super annoying, and more to the practical point, inefficient. Is there a step by step way to put it back under the address bar?

I am asking for step by step instructions because I'm dyslexic and have difficulty thinking through partial instructions.

If this is the paradigm - and then this would be a stupid design move - with Firefox, I'll have to rethink if I am going to continue using the browser.

I have been using Firefox for about a decade. Lately, most of the websites I use have not been working properly (from utilies and providers to my own website admin page) Some adresses won't even start to load when enetered into the bar.

I have a lot of bookmarks and bookmarks folders, yes. But I hope this is not the issue, as I need them for work.

I am using Mullvad vpn. (found Mozilla's VPN pretty much useless : it tells you right away you're connected, even when it is not actually using proper tunnels yet, especially on IOS. and when locating the VPN in France, France's news websites would refuse to play videos, stating that I am in the US...)

I use Evernote a lot, but over the last few days it's clipper stopped working as well (when clicking the email link to verify my Evernote account, the link opening in Firefox never opens a page..)

I have to use Safari for half of my work online now, which means I will switch everything to Safari next week if I cant find a solution to make Firefox work.

I already erased and re-downloaded Firefox quite a few times. Changing, then resetting all preferences and security settings. To no avail.

Thank you for your help ! Loic

Hello When I open the main browser and open a number of tabs, then I open the incognito browser, after that I close the main browser and open it again, the pages that were open do not appear Also, I enabled the option - Open previous windows and tabs

I get this message on certain websites:

  We could not verify that you are human. Please refresh the page and try again.

Why is that? I have the latest version of FF on my desktop. Please let me know. Thanks, Betsy

When I get on my desktop and go to my Homepage( xfinity) and I try to pull up my email or other options I get a notice that "this page is slowing down Firefox.Please stop this page.
