I have a desktop and a laptop on firefox. I am selling my laptop so i cleared history and deleted all bookmark history.

To my horror, even though i remember i have signed out of mozilla account on the laptop firefox, on my desktop firefox all the bookmarks including bookmark folders are gone. Thankfully, i have a fairly recent backup of firefox userprofile file so i restored them.

However, to my horror once more time, I realize now firefox sync automatically deletes my bookmarks everytime it syncs so i have to turn it off.

How can i make firefox sync to treat my current bookmarks as the latest and stop deleting them?

Firefox not honoring "open in background" setting on other apps all of a sudden

Losing my mind on this one.

Have 2 Macs I use at home, both running FF 141.0 and Sequoia 15.5.

Use Reader for RSS and Airmail for eMail. Both have settings to allow links clicked in those programs to open browser tabs in background. Handy way of banging through newsletters and RSS feeds before shifting to browser.

One on Mac, that open in battleground setting on both apps works as it has for, oh, last several years. On the other Mac, a few days ago that open in background stopped working with Firefox. It does work properly on Chrome and Safari if I set them as default browser (and, as I mentioned above, on my other Mac).

I've tried resetting Firefox on this Mac using the troubleshooting menu and have also cleared the Firefox cache. I even tried resetting the launch database in that Mac, although the fact Chrome and Safari are working fine suggests the OS isn't the culprit.

I'm unaware of having changed any settings, but am aware that "idiot user" may be the issue.

Regardless of how this happened, any ideas how to sort this annoyance out? Thanks!

I have two Mac systems, a 2018 Intel Mac Mini, and an M1 2020 MacBook Pro, both running Sonoma 14.7.6. On the Mac Mini, Firefox opens to the familar "Recommended Stories". On the MacBook Pro Firefox opens to a long list of items I'm not the least bit interested in. How do I get the MacBook Pro back to nothing but the "Recommended Stories"? I don't want/need NHL, NFL, NBA,Television, MLB, Pro Soccer, Education, Food, Health, Parenting, etc., etc., etc.

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with tab groups in Firefox.

  • I use multiple tab groups in my browser.
  • Normally, if I close the browser (without manually saving the groups), Firefox restores everything exactly as it was when I reopen it including all my tab groups and their current tabs.
  • However, if Firefox crashes while the groups are open, I run into a problem:
 * When I restart Firefox after the crash and try to open my tab groups, all the recent tabs are missing.
 * Instead of restoring the most recent state of the tab groups, Firefox loads an old, manually saved version from the past.
 * Any recent changes to the tab groups are completely lost.

This has happened multiple times now.

    • System Info:**
  • Firefox version: 141.0 (64-bit)
  • OS: Windows 11

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions to prevent this data loss after crashes. Is there a way to make Firefox auto save tab group states more frequently, or restore the most recent session even after a crash?

The issue is very simple. When loading into the roblox website, the page becomes almost completely empty aside from the buttons at the top like Charts, Marketplace and the roblox icon at the top left. All of which do nothing when pressed.

The weird thing is that it works completely fine on an incognito tab..? Now I noticed something similar happening with other roblox's websites, where some parts of the site would break in very similar ways, but I thought nothing of it cause it didn't affect me too much. But after the new update, it extends to everything, not just one sub-page of roblox, the entire website is like this.

I removed my extensions and restarted my browser to see if that would fix anything but it didn't help.

I've been a Firefox user for a very long time with no real problems, but this one may force me to move to Chrome. Recently, I've noticed that some things show up or work in Chrome, but they don't work in Firefox. I've encountered this problem more recently and it seem to be getting worse. Just today, I had a problem with the V.A. and AMC theater websites. Is there a workaround to this problem. It's going to get bad if even the government is using google extensions.
