I'm using Firefox 127.0.2 on Arch Linux. In settings under General>Startup>"Open previous windows and tabs" is not checked. Under about:config browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand is false, and browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash is false

How do I get Firefox to give me a clean slate after restarting my computer?

Suddenly my Firefox stopped opening links on a page and when I open a new tab I can only get a blank page or the Firefox default page. Before this happened (and I didn't make any changes, just turned on my computer one day and things changed) I could open a new tab and it opened with my chosen URL, which happens to be msn.com, and say after opening I did a search for something and then clicked a link, it would open the link. Now I click a link and it shows a new tab up top, but never opens anything, just the circle going and going and going. Also when I open a new tab I can only get a blank page or Firefox default page, where I used to get my msn page. When the problem originally started I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled in hopes it would fix this, but it didn't. I have spent hours trying to Google an answer. As soon as I use Edge, everything works fine, I can click links all day long. I have used Firefox forever and don't want to give it up, but if I can't solve the problem, I can't use it because it's SO frustrating and time consuming not to be able to open a link. The blank page or Firefox default I guess I could get used to, even though it's super annoying for it not to work, when it did for years. Thank you for anyone who might be able to help.

I changed a global setting in the KDE Breeze theme to always show scrollbar arrows. It works in most windows but not in Firefox, which refuses to display them. Is there a way to fix this? It is a major accessibility problem.

I forgot my primary password and a double password system is a pain. I would like to eliminate the primary password, Can it be done w/o losing other data I hope.. Thanks for ANY help Email removed for privacy reasons

Since today, Firefox is no longer loading the previous settings. Every time I open it up, it opens as it was newly installed.

I already did the following: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1226076 To no avail.

What changed? I didn't change anything in my computer for this to start.

Thanks for any help.

Hello community, I'm a lifelong Google Chrome user just now transferring to Mozilla Firefox and I was wondering if it's possible to tab-to-search with, for example, youtube? Here is an example of a person doing the exact same thing I'm trying to achieve. Thank you!

I have an address/search bar at the top of my screen AND one in the center of my home web page beneath the Firefox logo/brand. Currently, if I want to effect a search the Firefox web homepage uses the address bar across to top of the page. I want to set a preference/priority to using the search bar beneath the Firefox logo/brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. When opening links from a search, I would like to have them always open in a new tab. How can I set this as a preference in Mozilla / Firefox?

Currently, I always right click and must select "open link in new tab." I see the option in Settings to "always open in new window", but that is not my objective. I would like to open in new tab, so that I retain my original search results in the current tab.

Thank you.

I save a list of >20 sites on which I allow popups. What is the most efficient way to enter those sites?

==> I would like to avoid entering each one individually.

TYVM.

I have installed the LastPass extension for Firefox, more than once, but the LastPass icon does not appear in my browser bar. It used to be there, but disappeared a few weeks ago. I have tried to reinstall the extension, but it has had no effect.

I needed to add another user to our windows 10 computer. The user has their own windows login. They have their own Mozilla user account, but somehow are getting all bookmarks, etc from my account. I really need them to not be able to do that. I have searched the info here and haven't had any luck following the suggestions.

In the meantime, the other user is using MS edge, which makes me uncomfortable

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I just updated to version 128 of Firefox. Previously I used this user.js file as my profile:

All worked fine. But now with this new version of Firefox if I use that profile I see a popup asking me for my Primary Password. I do not have a primary password. Why has Firefox started asking me for one? What can I change in my user.js file to stop this?

I had 5 accounts show up whenever I opened the email. In about the past 2 weeks 1 account stopped doing this. How can I get this account to do what it did and shoe up with the other 4 ???
