Firefox Community Forum

With the profile system, which I just used to try and fix another problem. Deleting them doesn't work I've tried manually deleting the profiles as well but they still show up in the UI and it just recreates the folder again if you try to delete it or open it. If you use the UI to try and delete it the instance and page it opens is simply blank. And now the profile I'm trying to delete isn't open. I'm trying to delete it from "original profile" and when I do it opens the a new instance of firefox with the profile I'm trying to delete with in the address bar: about:deleteprofile but the screen is empty.

I am disgusted. I have been trying to sign in and first changed my password, but it still wont let me sign in and says my new password is incorrect. I've wasted almost an hour doing what should be fairly straightforward.

How do i get my original profile page to always open when i open firefox instead of a new page without my bookmaks. This started right after my visit to Mozilla so i must have changed something. I don't know what!.

I'm a decades long time Firefox user, and I always keep Firefox updated automatically to whatever is the current version. I've never had any substantial issues with Firefox in the past, but recently I've encountered some rather drastic issues.

Background: I'm ex-IT, so I tend to be ultra-conscientious about security and performance updates all across my system. I'm also highly alert for any signs that my system or apps might be compromised in any way.

Recently, I started noticing that I was unable to scroll with my keypad or keyboard on certain sub-windows and certain pop-ups in some web sites (not all). I could scroll these sub-windows/pop-ups only by touch screen, and until today that has always worked. I've been using this workaround, because I haven't had time to really look into the issue. Most sites worked fine, but many would not.

Today, however, I logged into what I know to be a legitimate web site, https://blueshieldca.com, for some important information, but this time I found I was unable to scroll ANYthing on the site using my keypad, keyboard, or touch screen. I could change pages through the on-site menus, but couldn't navigate further at all on any page. I can see that there is more information cut off at the bottom of the page, but I simply can't scroll the page to view it. I almost never use MS Edge browser, but I tried it today, and I'm not having the same problem using Edge.

I'm also having a slightly different, but similar (related?), Firefox issue with the typical cookie-settings-preferences prompts that appear initially on most web sites. Any time I try to arrow over the cookie prompts, they immediately disappear. I'm completely unable to accept, change, or set cookie preferences on any sites.

I've reviewed all my settings in Firefox and all the add-ons I use. In Firefox itself, I run the following extensions: Brave (default search), DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Ghostery Private Search for Firefox, Malwarebytes Browser Guard, Privacy Badger, and Express VPN (disabled) - I do not run any browser-specific VPN, but I always use Nord VPN on my system. The configuration options are overwhelming, and in spite of investigating every avenue I can think of, I haven't been able to find either a cause or a fix. I'm sure hoping you guys can help me figure this out!

My system is Windows 11 Home (25H2), 64-Bit, on a DELL XPS 13, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD drive (1/3 free), about 3 years old. In addition to the browser-specific security software mentioned above, I run Bitdefender Security. I haven't made any changes or specific updates to any apps that I can link to the inception of this problem.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

My microphone does not work properly in Firefox, it sounds periodically really low and that doesnt depend on my mic settings. It seems like that is Automatic Gain Control or something like that and idk how to disable it. On screenshot im just speaking as usual but the browser lowers the volume -_-

I am getting error 'Code: RCPTA:2' when trying to log into the Detroit Free Press (freep.com). I had never had this problem before but just performed a Firefox update and now have this error. It's like the Firefox update changed a setting related to Javascripts.

How to sort Tab Groups alphabetically in the Add Tab to Group Menu?

I want to add tabs to groups bit the groups are changing their position and it would be very helpful to (optionally) have the freedom to sort Tab Groups to appear alphabetically in that menu!

But that should NOT affect the sorting order in the browser window!

But of course it also would be helpful to have the freedom to also sort the tab groups order in the main windows, but please make it a different sort order than in the Add to Tab Group menu dropdown.

Thanks!

I currently have Firefox 149.0.2 rapid release channel on Win10 Pro ESU.

I want to switch to the ESR channel.

How do I do that?

Is there anything I should be aware of to avoid problems?

Thanks!

It seems that a few days ago my Firefox was (involuntarily) updated in the course of another update (Linux): Previously, after Ctrl-S I could immediately start editing the name of the downloaded .html file, usually replacing it: the .html was retained, but the main part was highlighted and replaced automatically with the first typed character. Now one has to highlight the name with "select all" and also take care of the .html suffix. This is highly inconvenient if one wants to change the (usually) much too long names. Is there a chance (option?) to get the old behaviour back? (By the way, not connected with this change: It is annoying that Firefox silently changes `:` to `_´ in desired names though these are perfectly legal in Linux.) (and I would like to be able to use Firefox save to command from the command line.

All your answers are wordy, confusing+never take into account that many users are not 15. You assume every user knows what you write. Instead of answering the question by giving a user step by step marching order, you write endless stuff giving the users a headache.

Does Mozilla ever sell VPN information to ANY 3rd party for any reason?

I offer cyber security to small business and I would like share your Free VPN opportunity with them. believe it or not, other free VPN actually SELL their information in the terms and agreement to 3rd parties. I want to know of Mozilla does or does not do this.

Thanks!

My computer went through the process of updating Firebox. Afterwards all my bookmarks are gone. I clicked on Manage Bookmarks...then clicked on Import and Backup...then clicked on Restore which open a File dialog box. What file? Nothing is restore. I want the bookmarks restored.
