Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I have installed the latest Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop PC. I have created a shortcut to Firefox in the start menue Since a few week, I observed that I had to invoce Firefox twice in order to get is running once. The same happens if I double-click on firefox.exe in the intallation folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox): After the first double-click, the windows activity circle appears for a few seconds and then dissapears again (without staring Firefox). After the second double-click, Firefox starts immediately.

I can repeat this several times.

• first double click > nothing happens
• second double click > Firefox starts
• closing Firefox
• third double click > nothing happens
• fourth double click > Firefox starts
• closing Firefox
• fifth/seventh/... double click > nothing happens
• sixth/eigth/.. double click > Firefox starts

I have no idea what might have gone wrong. Any suggestion from the community is appreciated. Best,

How do I stop my search results from suddenly becoming shortcuts on my home page? This is something that has started relatively recently & I did not request this or change my settings.. The only thing I want on my homepage is actual saved sites that I choose to have on my home page. I now have to spend time every session deleting the history of these unwanted shortcuts from my homepage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Just searching for how to stoip this has added this search as a shortcut to my home page- see attached pic.

I rebooted Windows. Firefox seems to have been updated. But a firefox installer was downoaded. This behaviour is stange an suspect. Do I have to re-installa firefox? Why?

Hi,

I want to print some labels, but when I print them, they always com sideways. Even when I change them settings on the printer, to print it not sideways.

Firefox suddenly reset to a fresh install state: only default bookmarks, my custom ones are gone. No sync enabled. No manual reset/refresh/reinstall done. Tried: Restore from backups (none recent), about:profiles (only new profile), checked bookmarkbackups folder (empty/old). Please help recover bookmarks if possible. What could cause this? Any recovery steps?

Today, I once again had to refresh Firefox Due to my eBay page being rehashed and not usable, but I forgot about my Facebook and after the refresh found I have now lost almost six months of chat history (most recent of which is very important to me), and I just can;t find a way to recover it. Please advise me what to do. Kind regards

i just update my firefox to a new ver yesterday 147.0.1 (64-bit) today suddenly not playing any reels its just stuck pushing play button also dint not help playing the reels

I have Firefox on two computers, both on Windows 10. One has a bug, so I need to re-install it. My Firefoxes sync, so I am afraid that if I delete the buggy Firefox and reinstall, I will loose my bookmarks. How do I avoid that? What procedure would avoid that danger?

Hello. I love my Firefox but the latest Version 148 has removed Ai from providing any information when I search for anything in the search bar. I have went to my settings and enabled Ai to work and everything below says available, but no matter what I try to look for, Ai just says its 'thinking'. Please help! Thank you.

Hello all,

I've been a long time Firefox user and recently (starting about 2 months ago) started seeing some irritating behavior while browsing. Firefox will at random intervals "gray out" either while interacting with specific webpage elements, or browsing specific websites. An example of this "gray out" condition is included as a screenshot. The browser will flicker between this "gray out" condition and the webpage, occasionally staying in the "gray out" state for 3-6 seconds. As you can see in the screenshot all Firefox UI elements are also missing, so this seems to be broader application issue. I've noticed this particular issue repeatedly on Amazon.com while moused over product photos.

I consider myself a power user. As for my PC, it is running Windows 10. All graphics drivers are up to date. Other apps run normally. I've never had any problem browsing/interacting with similar web content in Microsoft Edge... but I heavily prefer to use FireFox. Has anyone else encountered an issue like this?

Ever since I updated Firefox, my website has stopped loading properly. It works fine in Chrome and Edge, but in Firefox, I get a security warning page instead.

The message says:

Your connection is not secure

The website tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security. https://reminniapk.com/

uses security settings that might be outdated or not supported by Firefox, so the browser blocks it.

Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY

I haven’t made any major changes recently, so I’m not sure why this started happening. Is this something that needs to be fixed on the server side, or is there any setting in Firefox that could be causing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

The main reason I use Firefox rather than Chrome or Edge is because Firefox allows 32 home page shortcuts. I configure my home page with all 4 available rows of 8, pinned in position so they are grouped based on function, along with putting the home page icon on the toolbar. On several occasions these have disappeared and the 'popular sites' do not load. I have had to use Control Panel -> uninstall program to 'fix' Firefox; this causes all my shortcuts to disappear, along with the toolbar 'home' icon and '4 row' display. I am running Windows 10 Pro, and will be migrating to Windows 11 Pro on a new computer. Will this issue be fixed with Firefox running on Win 11? Is there a way to easily save my home page settings so that if they disappear I can reload them? Thanks!

A while ago when using the setting firefox noticed that i was using a vpn and turned the settings off. At least that was what i believed. Turns out, that only works with browser vpn addons that use the firefox settings. But these addons do not use wireguard, but tls to encrypt your data. If i use a vpn, and want to use the dns settings provided by them, i have to turn of the feature the dns over https feature from firefox. I only want to use that feature, if im not "protected" by a vpn solution of my choice.

So, today I found that absolutely all of my tab groups have been wiped from existence. Not passwords, bookmarks, history, extensions or anything of the sort. Just tab groups specifically. Everything else in my profile is still here. I tried restoring from a backup using the Session History Scrounger at https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but my closest backup was a March 26th one that is missing an entire tab group created after that date.

I tried searching other solutions to my issue, but nothing has worked so far. It doesn't have anything to do with updates as the last one happened on March 26th and I definitely used the tab groups after that point. I'm at a complete loss on what I am supposed to do, as I lost ~600 tabs combined across all groups

I rarely turn my laptop off, when I'm not using it I put it into sleep mode. Firefox absolutely hates this though, and after a few days it will slow to a torturous crawl. Everything becomes horribly irresponsive, feels like nails on a chalkboard. It can even get to the point where it will randomly delay my cursor in Windows 10 itself by 10 SECONDS along with some bleed into other programs while switching between them. Fully closing Firefox then re-opening it will reset the issue, starting the timer again, but I hate doing this because I have doing that set to log me out of various sites which I then have to re login to, letting the torture boil until I give in. This has been my Firefox experience on laptop for at least 5 years now. Other forks of Firefox have this same issue.

I am leaving Firefox in the torture state currently to troubleshoot here. Currently the memory usage on Firefox is 6GB at 54% of my total ram, which is being used at 84% total. Total CPU usage is 23%. Wrote this on my desktop for my sanity so that's why there's no troubleshooting information.
