Lats month a window started popping up when on my email or random webpage. Happens on any browser. It is a box that says my session is timed out and do I want to to sign back in or get off. This is so random and extremely annoying. I am not on a metered internet usage it is unlimited. How to stop this or fix it would be appreciated. Thank you

We can not delete bookmarks after trying everything I know. Re: restarted in troubleshoot, cleared the history and cookies etc. Do we have to uninstall and then reinstall to fix it? If not, how do we fix it?

Created Gmail account for gmail.com.

Where my name or initial should appear, it says "Finish setup"

I have checked circles that I want, but it still says "Finish setup."

What can I do?

how many times do I have to say YES to the update question that constantly appears each time I access another page? I said YES the first time. It is driving me NUTS and interrupting my work

I'm trying to add a new email address to my account as I'm getting rid of my old email address. When I try to add it, it tells me it's already in use on another account. (I'm pretty sure I haven't used that for another account, but maybe...)

When I then try to login using that email, or reset the password, it tells me "Primary account email required for login/reset". Now I'm pretty darned sure I haven't used that email for another account with yet a third email address. How do I go about deleting whatever account that is so I can use my email address with my existing account?

Good afternoon. I now have all my firefox push site notifications set to come through on the desktop even if the browser is closed. However only when I open the browser do the notifications come across as banners and show in the action center on the desktop. How do I have them show without accessing Firefox? Thank you.

I restarted Firefox on my Mac earlier, which I think updated it from 136 to 137. After reopening it, web pages won’t load anymore. They either time out or just load indefinitely without doing anything. I went through the troubleshooting page and tried reinstalling it, which didn’t help. My computer’s firewall is off as well. I’ve tried refreshing it multiple times, and I get a message that Firefox has crashed before it actually refreshes. After that, pages will load normally for a very short amount of time (about 30 seconds) before stopping again. Pages are still loading normally on Chrome and Safari, so it’s only Firefox that’s having an issue. Does anyone have any solutions for what this could be/ways to fix it?

i can only use the Google Ai Chat Combo for one prompt. following which, the chat combo shuts and become unavailable for writing any further prompts unless i have refreshed the whole page which leads to losing the previous answers to prompts . how to solve this issue?

Why are these showing up now? They were never there before. Is there a way to hide them or make them disappear? They are ugly, distracting to look at and unnecessary. I tried one about:config solution, but it did not work. Please fix this. See screenshot. The black tacks should not be visible, but now they are.

When I click for a new tab, all the shortcuts I have are moved down awkwardly. Can you fix that? That does not seem to be a good choice. Please change. The attached image shows that everything has moved down and I cannot see the names of the shortcuts. Why did you do this? Please fix that. There was absolutely no reason to do that!

I have over 2000 tabs stored in multiple tab groups using the Legacy extension "TAB GROUPS" in Firefox 56. I recognize this is out of date and I was going to migrate the tabs to the current version. I was unaware that Tab Group would no longer be verified as of March 14. I need to save all of the tabs in TAB GROUPS to favorites. Is there someway to temporarily enable TAB GROUPS so I can recover the websites? Is there a session file that has the websites that I can access? Help - I am in desperate need!

Hi there.

Something changed in my Firefox recently.

I used to have all pdf options as Always Ask, which did not impact sites where the pdf is inside a frame inside the webpage.

Changing to open in firefox fixed that issue, but now it opens all pdfs in browser, which I'd rather have the option to save or open in Sumatra as I used to.

Image attached for the 3 options I've mentioned

Basically I want the option to save / open in my preferred app while not disrupting the sites that have in frame pdfs.

Thanks!

I have Firefox Browser version 112.0.1 (64-bit). Firefox says that there is a new update. In order to install the new update it is required to have Administrator privileges in the computer. Until now, to update Firefow, Administrator privileges were not required.

Hello,

I have noticed behavior in Firefox that seems inconsistent with my expectations of Private Browsing.

When I open a Private Browsing window and begin typing in the address bar/search bar, Firefox still shows my previously searched queries as suggestions. I am not signed in to any Firefox account, Google account, or other search engine account, so these suggestions appear to be coming from Firefox's locally stored search history.

I understand that Private Browsing prevents new history from being saved. However, I expected Private Browsing to also prevent existing search history from being displayed while using a private window.

Currently, I can disable address bar suggestions entirely, but that removes them from normal browsing as well. What I would like is:

• Search history suggestions available in normal browsing windows.
• Search history suggestions hidden in Private Browsing windows.
• Existing search history not exposed when using Private Browsing.

Is this current behavior intentional? If so, is there a setting, hidden preference, extension, or planned feature that allows Private Browsing windows to suppress history-based search suggestions while preserving them in regular browsing sessions?

For reference:

• Firefox version: 151.0.2 (64-bit)
• Operating system: Arch Linux

Thank you.

Why when you click on the extensions button (jigsaw puzzle icon) in the toolbar to open the extensions panel the “Personalize Your Firefox” screen appears ???

When you right click a gear icon in a particular extension, the drop down menu has no "pin to tool bar" option, it only shows "copy/select all/print..." options ???

Thnak you.

I am experiencing an issue where Google.com (other google domains work fine) will not load in Firefox, resulting in an infinite loading loop. Other browsers on the same system (Brave) work fine.

Here are the steps I have already tried:

Reinstalled Firefox completely

Removed Firefox via sudo apt remove --purge firefox -y

Cleared all user profiles and caches: ~/.mozilla/firefox, ~/.cache/mozilla, ~/.config/Mozilla

Reinstalled via Flatpak

Tested network connectivity outside Firefox

curl google.com works correctly

DNS resolution works via getent hosts google.com in the host system

Checked proxy settings

Ensured “No proxy” is selected in Firefox → did not resolve the issue

Tested in Safe Mode (disabling extensions)

Problem persists, so not caused by extensions

Tried disabling IPv6 inside Firefox

network.dns.disableIPv6 set to true → no effect

Cleared DNS cache inside Firefox

about:networking#dns → clicked “Clear DNS Cache” → no effect

Disabled DNS-over-HTTPS (Secure DNS)

about:preferences#privacy → “Use secure DNS” → disabled → no effect

Disabled HTTP/3 (QUIC)

network.http.http3.enabled set to false → no effect

Verified Flatpak network permissions

flatpak info --show-permissions org.mozilla.firefox shows network access allowed

Inside the Flatpak shell:

flatpak run --command=sh org.mozilla.firefox getent hosts google.com

→ returns only IPv6 address: 2800:3f0:4001:839::200e google.com
