Firefox Community Forum

I'm trying to stop Firefox from restoring tabs after I restart my OS. So far, I've done the following:

• Disabled `Startup > Open Previous Windows and Tabs`
• Disabled all extensions
• Confirmed I do not have a `user.js` file
• Set `browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash` to `false`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand` to `false`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.resuming_after_os_restart` to `false` (It was already set this way.)
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes` to `0`
• Set `privacy.clearOnShutdown.openWindows` to `true`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo` to `0`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo` to `0`

(I've since reverted the last two and the extension changes after they didn't work.)

So far, Firefox will not restore tabs on application restart (manually closing and relaunching) or on crashing (after sending SIGTERM/SIGKILL), but it still restores tabs after restarting the OS (if I allow the OS to kill it during shutdown). I've seen a couple suggestions to disable history completely, but I do occasionally refer to my browsing history, so I'd prefer a less-drastic approach. Ideally, I just want Firefox to treat the first launch after a shutdown as a normal launch and not apply any special behavior. Any help would be much appreciated!

System: Fedora 42 (Workstation Edition) Running Firefox 144.0.2 on Gnome 48.6-1.fc42

After upgrading my Firefox to version 145, a blue line appears at the top of the browser window when it's in full-screen mode and the current window is focused. I know this is to remind the browser window that it's currently focused and interactive, but I really hate this notification and want to make this conspicuous blue line at the top of the window disappear. I couldn't find a relevant option in the Firefox browser settings. Does anyone know how to set this up?

Please help me to disable this focus tip,thanks!

I hope I sent this to the right place.

PC is using Windows 11, latest updates. I have signed in to Mozilla Monitor many times in the last hour, but "Upgrade to Premium" does not appear in the upper-right corner as several help websites say it should. I cleared all cookies and turned Enhanced Tracking Protection off for the site, no help. I restarted Firefox - it's now at release 145.0.1 (64-bit), no help. Any other ideas? Thanx.

Dear Ty: I appreciate your efforts to help me, unfortunately, it did not work. FireFox is still at 115.30.0. Any other thoughts?

I thought there might be some software I could download to spoof the Chase system into thinking Firefox was a later version,

Thanks and regards,

i am unable to see my installed themes and therefore can not use them. the only thing that i can see is "extensions" and "plugins". i looked online for a few hours and have found no solutions that work.

My account has my primary email and it used to have my secondary email connected as well. I now want to create a new account with the secondary email so I can have another profile, so I deleted my secondary email from the manage accounts on my primary email. I ensured that this says it is removed on all devices and it is. But when I try to create a new account with that secondary email, I keep getting the error that I need to sign in my primary email and I am taken back to my profile with my primary email.

How can I fully detach my secondary email so that I can make a new account with it?

Anyone use LastPass? Do YOU have any hair left? How do I put that extension up at the top. Where my red arrow points? ALSO......

Im entering the email and password i swear dozens of times every day...it never works right, ALWAYS need one or both lines filled in.  I DONT CARE IF IT DOESNT WANT ME TO SAVE THE PASSWORD. GOD KNOWS its NOT retaining it!  OK, im 75 years old. HAVE I LOST MY MARBLES?

Site: https://www.thegamer.com Firefox refuses to load the site, it does not even show the certificate when clicking on the lock. Using the certificate manager, add exception does not work too, it just refuses to store the certificate. But at least THERE I can VIEW the certificate, which proves it is valid and FIREFOX is at fault:

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.thegamer.com&latest shows "IO exception" when trying to check the CRL, but gives an A+. Yet Firefox does not even give me the "Continue anyway" possibility. This it tiering, I hate using google chrome based browsers, but of course, it works there. Server 2025, only MS-defender at its default settings.

Laptop running Windows 10 pro. Firefox 144. Is there a method for sorting firefox bookmarks into alphabetical order (yet)? I see from questions asked years ago that Firefox hasn't had a way to sort all bookmarks into alphabetical order in one go. Is this still the case? It seems hard to believe that the only way to do this is to sort each folder individually. I noticed that I can do this (and have done) on Android, but not on the laptop.

When I am asked for a new password, it seems Firefox pops up with a suggestion. I have "Ask to save passwords" turned off. I want 1Password to generate my passwords and the pop-ups do not follow my 1Password specs. Therefore, I think Firefox is displaying the pop-ups. Is this a known bug?

Does the attached screen grab look like a Firefox pop-up? Tell me what to look for please. If you want the Troubleshooting Info I'll need some time to figure that out and send. Thanks in advance. ~fm

I was resetting my password entered my email code recovery key it didn't ask for my authenticator got an error invalid token then after retrying it asked for email and authenticator but not the recovery key the account now says I have no key

There are three accounts I have to use regularly to pay bills.

On one of them (PG&E), FF is useless. Can't even log in.

On the two others, banners come up that say FF is unsupported. Both still usable for the moment, But the future....

I fear FF is going to become unusable/irrelevant in my work-flow in the near-term future if the trend in my skewed sample continues.
