Firefox Community Forum

This is a new cheap Chinese laptop from Amazon called ANPCOWER. It seemed to be set up to only use Microsoft. I have used Firefox for decades. It changed all my documents to Microsoft and I can't access them anymore..

I would be interested in modifying the behavior of Firefox's urlbar / omnibox such that domain names are displayed in “reverse notation”, e.g. org.mozilla.support instead of support.mozilla.org.

From a cursory look at Firefox's setting, I couldn't find any browser.urlbar.* setting that relates to reverse domain name notation.

I also spent some time looking at add-on development documentation. Albeit being unfamiliar with the technology, it seems to me that the omnibox permission in the manifest.json file will only grant the add-on APIs to extend the functionalities of the bar, rather than allow the add-on to modify how the bar's contents are displayed.

I would be interested to know if there might be a way to achieve reverse domain name notation that I might have missed, or whether this is impossible to do.

If this is the wrong place to ask, I'd be glad if you could suggest what forum/mailing list may be appropriate for this kind of questions.

i have been using firefox for years without issues. just now i booted up on my laptop and a reset firefox question came up so i thought oh okay why not? I LOST MY FB PAGE/400+ FRIENDS... I LOST LEVEL 700+ IN A GAME APP.... all acting like this was day one!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF???????????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!

I am using firefox on ubuntu (firefox 142.0.1 (64-bit)) and using vertical tabs in the side bar. I recently started using the new(ish) feature of tab groups and I absolutely love it. I was using STG (simple tab groups) before and that fine, but this is way nicer. The only small annoyance I have, which could be a mistake on my side. Is that some of my tab groups are shortend seemingly randomly? If I for example make a group named "phone" it is visible like that, but after a couple of hours it goes to "ph...". I thought it may be sidebar width not being wide enough, but you can see in my screenshot that is not the case. Strangely if I make a new group it is always complete.

So I was wondering if I am missing a setting or config entry.

Thank you for reading and hope you have a great day!

macOS 15.6.1 Firefox 142.0.1

When I try to login to Facebook I can't and a screen appears with

"Sorry! Something went wrong :(

This happens even in Troubleshooting Mode …

Exactly the same issue with DuckDuckGo browser but no difficulties with Safari where I can login to Facebook as usual …

This morning (08/28/25), I updated my browser to v142.0.1 (64-bit), and Facebook as well as other sites have been affected to the point that I can't even see contents now!!!!!!!

I (God forbid) opened the same sites in Edge, and there's no problem viewing them on Edge.

Is there a way that I can roll back this latest update, because I had no problems until this morning. I'm running a Win 10 Pro OS.

How do I stop the attached Newsmax webpage error message that I encounter daily? I am using Firefox on a Macbook with OS Sequoia 15.6.1. This error message requires that I switch to Brave to view Newsmax. This has been a longstanding problem with Firefox which I've posted before to no avail. Can anyone advise what the problem is? Thank you.

I was on a website and noticed I was signed out, so I went to log in, but the browser did not display the username/password like it usually does. I clicked on the hamburger menu to go to my passwords and I noticed that it said "Account disconnected" at the top. I figured this was the issue, so I clicked it to log in. After going through the forgot password steps, I got logged in to Mozilla. Firefox then prompted me if I wanted to save that password and I clicked yes. I then went to the password manager and the only one listed was the Mozilla password that I just saved. After some digging, I found there was a logins.json.corrupt file in the profile folder. I tried renaming it to logins.json but that does not work. I tried viewing the corrupt file, but it was not legible.

Is there any way to recover the passwords or are they gone for good?
