Firefox Community Forum

I have Firefox installed on multiple devices and most/all of them don't keep sessions or browsing history

I noticed that these files are updated while browser is open and get deleted once browser is closed:

• sessionstore-backups/recovery.baklz4
• sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4

No other files are related to sessions

I have "Open previous windows and tabs" checked

Installations:

• Windows 10
• Debian 12
• Debian 13 (Firefox 148.0 Snap)

On Firefox for Android, this issue doesn't happen, I can even see the whole browsing history including history lost on PC installations

Version 148 recently installed as auto update and problem seems contemperaneous to that.

My Home page is set to show only the Firefox "search the web" as an entry box in the screen centre, but will no longer allow any input: instead the awesomebar (aka address bar) shows on the tool bars at top of screen and accepts/displays the entry. I wish to revert to the simpler display.

I thought the solution lay within the advanced preferences that can be accessed (via app:config) and the value of the awesome bar changed. However tthe awesomebar preference is the only one shown for which there is no setting at all. Edit brings nothing up. There is a delete bin symbol available.

Can anybody explain what is going on and how to rectify this situation, please?

You might be wondering why we lumped fractions and greatest common fractions together.
The fraction

The first time the inline table creates a new line second time inserts in fraction where it is (which is how I want it) How do I prevent it from forcing a new line?

i need the 'home' button. it is not included in the 'customize' items so that doesn't work, as it is not actually there with the other items. please tell me how to get it. thanks. it's ridiculous working without one.

Firefox keeps just not work after I restart my Mac on the latest OS.

Now I have reloaded firefox and all of my bookmarks are missing and the account is unscynced?

I know you can block it and opt out of the AI options in Firefox, but just wanted to voice my opinion.

We did not ask for it, nor do we want or need it. The bubble's gonna pop soon and then we are stuck with these AI artifacts.

By default the AI options should be blocked/off/opt out. If we want to use it, we'll opt in ourselves.

I suddenly can no longer get my Gmail to appear in my Firefox browser. (I CAN get to +use Google.com, but when I try to go to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox", I just get a blank white page.) I did not (to my knowledge) change any settings or have some strange thing happen. Please help!

upon opening firefox the following address appears in the search window:

https://eventseekspot.com/?path=firefox/newtab&u=864940da25d1ae22&subid=11119&channel=1

why? and how do i make it go away

(Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. The issue turned out to be my large external monitor for one of my computers. When I was not using it, the smaller laptop screen did not allow all Firefox setting pop-up windows to display fully, so I could not see what I was used to seeing. When I connected it again to my large external monitor, everything was fine. That is why the other computer had no issues.

(So it had nothing to do with Firefox at all, and I am sorry if anyone read my question! Thanks.)

Using 148 on Debian trixie I do not see the option for "refresh browser"?

Does it still exist or is there an alternative ?
