Firefox Support Forum

Basically i noticed that whenever i installed adblock or any other addons they don't show up in the top right bar as icon and even if i have them enabled they do not work, i searched a bit and it seems to be an old issue that was present with some older version of firefox, is somebody currently experiecing this?

Upon sysytem startup today my browser immediately opened up a browser which then filled up with multiple tabs all labelled Error. IT then kept on opening up new browser pages which likewise filled up with multiple tabs all labelled as Error. Eventually a crash dialogue popped up and having sent that I tried to close the browsers only for them to continue popping up. Eventually I was forced to restart the system. Happily upon restart the problem did not recur. My anti-virus (Bullguard) reported no issues.

I was prompted and downloaded the latest upgrade install file (72.0.2), closed Firefox and ran the upgrade. The resulting web page had a welcome tab and privacy tab as if this was the first time I'm using Firefox. All my tabs, bookmarks, settings, add-ins, authenticating credentials and history have disappeared. No Restore previous session was available. This is major loss that takes away all the tools and knowledge based I had accumulated over many years. It not only devastates my ability to function online but also kills the tasks I had been working on for a couple of weeks. I was able to find an excellent resource at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1204253 which lead me to explore the Firefox files in sessionstore-backups folder. There is a file in there called previous.jsonlz4 which was saved about 15 minutes before the crash. I can see its contents using the tool at https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but don't know what to do next. There is no recovery.baklz4 file in this folder. Is there anything I can do to recover my browser as it was before the crash with my tabs, bookmarks, add-ons and my authentication credentials to various sites so I can be functional again?

i have a website keeping to open even when i have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. also when i delete all cookies and history.

i would appreciate any help : - )

All of the sudden, Firefox shut down. It has happened before a couple of time, but when I opened it again, my previous session was restored. Not this time. All my tabs are gone, and "history" just shows the pages I recently opened, not the tabs that were abruptly closed. I would really appreciate any help you can provide.

When I perform search from a pinned tab it navigates away from the pinned tab location. Is it possible to have it create a new tab like when a bookmark or link is selected? Thanks for any help.

I used profile manager and copied my profile (C drive) to a different directory (D). Profile even has same name. And is same size. Yet all bookmarks and add ons are gone. They remain in original C drive profile and that works fine if I default to it. But if I make the D Drive profile the default it looks like a new profile with no existing bookmarks/add ons. Why doesn't this data move across to?

When I click on the down arrow, the arrow with the underline, then right-click the file and ask to open containing folder, the cmd window opens showing a folder I use for images. I want it to open the Download folder. Any help appreciated, thank you.

Hello. I have Firefox on my 3 devices: laptop Win10, desktop Win10 and iPhone IOS 13.3.

I had no problems before. But now I can't sync anything. I click "sync now" and nothing happens. The last successful sync on IOS device was on 13/01/20. I tried reinstall iPhone Firefox and now I have no bookmarks on my phone. I checked about:sync-log on my desktop. All errors are here: https://yadi.sk/d/mX_YM-JptfmLvA

Hope for your help.

With the newest firefox (72.0.2) I notice the tabs changing color as the mouse passes over them. A sort of greyish overlay appears over the background that is present before the mouse crosses into the tab. The selected tab does not change color; all the others do. This is really distracting to me; I never noticed it before. How do I get it to stop? (userchrome methods are fine.)

Very recently there is an annoying pop up (despite my settings for blocking pops up and virtually everything else) called Maps and Directions Online Promos. I have removed it from my toolbar and it is hidden, but it exists and performing. Can I delete this new tool, or at least stop it from functioning? I'm considering dropping FireFox as my browser which I have used for years because of this.

How can i fix this? Autocomplete should suggest saved passwords for the current url only. What is the point of auto suggest passwords saved from others subdomain. If you have multiple saved password this could be very annoying

I am currently using Firefox 72.0.1

i cant download and install addons from third party websites like sticky password and alexa and real debrid etc.....

this message shows up

"this addon could not be downloaded because of a connection failure"

i did reinstall firefox without any success

FF still not fully loading some sites that other browsers open even after following the instructions in the article. (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can) Example: site of large retailer gives a 404 message, medical blog site loads but scrollbar loads then disappears so no navigation. The first is a recent site and second I have visited for some time. Internet security is Norton Security. It's on auto-update plus I manually update weekly. I also am an Office 365 subscriber. These sites load successfully in Chrome and IE.

Hi. I just added a new bookmark subfolder, and want to move it up to a new position within it's folder. When I try to drag and drop it in the Bookmark Sidebar (as you can do in Google Chrome), it won't move. Is it possible to organize bookmark folders by moving them in Firefox, and if so, how can it be done?
