Storage drive on my laptop got corrupted recently, So I got a new storage drive and installed windows on it. So I don't have any offline backup for my bookmarks. Is there any possibility that Firefox created any automatic cloud backup through which I can restore my bookmarks?

If not, how to setup automatic cloud backups for future.

Thank you

I have certain extensions that temporarily block my access to certain sites, including to my add-ons so I can't use it to disable the add-on. However, when I open firefox, I can easily access the "add-ons and themes" selection from the toolbar before the blocker takes effect, allowing me to access the add-ons page and disable the add-on before it blocks the site. Is there so way to hide or make it take longer to access this open? (Such as removing it from the tool bar)?

I'm running the latest Firefox (110.0) and have a long list of bookmarks. Up until yesterday, when Microsoft pushed their latest Windows 10 updates, clicking "Bookmarks" from the top menu bar always positioned the list of bookmarks to its most recent selection. Now the list is always positioned at top. I find it annoying. Any ideas of the change? Thanks.

Like the title states - now have to scroll back down through all the bookmarks in a folder because it no longer holds its place. This is a great time waster.

Thought I would try to save some time by opening bookmarks in new tabs, but it then switches to the new tab immediately and I still have to scroll back through the same folder to open the next bookmark.

Is there a fix for this issue?

hullom snce several days I canot login to my nextcloud anymore, not with any of my different user names. Nextcloud will show a login screen, I can enter my credentials, Firefox will try to connect and after a while present me a fresh empty login screen. On one of my other macs (same OS) Firefox does login ok. After deleting Firefox app and reinstalling Firefox again, the behaviour does not change. Also deleting the stored login names and passwords does not help, deleting a bunch off cookies neither. What else could I do?

Hello all.

I've been using same account for over 6 years and all my bookmarks that I had for 4 hours ago are gone.

I format my computer and re-install win10. Nothing wrong or cracked etc. I installed Firefox as always and login my account, weirdly I got "wrong email password" error and I reset my password and login Firefox, I expect to see my bookmarks but nothing came. I just moved on other installations and when I am done with them, I return back to this issue and I can not find my bookmarks anywhere.

Can I have some help please ? They are very helpful for my business and personal life.

Thanks for your assistance. -Cuneyt

This just started this week but I have hundreds of twitter bookmarks in my twitter bookmark folder and so when I go lower in the folder and open one and go back to the folder it is at the very top bookmark of the folder again. As you can guess this is very annoying because I have to scroll for a while to get back the bookmarks I was at towards the bottom of the folder. I updated Windows and Nvidia graphics driver. I used CCleaner to clean junk out of my system. I have the latest Firefox browser as well. This has never been a problem so far and I can't find a solution anywhere for this. Can anyone help?

I am using Firefox Developer Edition Version: 110.0b5 (64-bit) on M1 Mac running Ventura 13.1.

I am building an webapp some XHR triggering in background but it is not necessary to run the application (running fine on other browsers). But on Firefox Developer Edition, It shows a error window with the message and stops loading the application.

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:4000.

localhost:4000 is the failing XHR request domain. I have attached the screenshot.

How to ignore the XHR failing errors just like other browsers?

Starting today, for some reason when I access my bookmarks, I have to start from the very top of all my lists of bookmarks. In the past when I accessed a bookmark, and then a clicked on the bookmark tab to access ANOTHER bookmark, my bookmark list would show where I had left off from the previous bookmark within that list. Now when I access a another bookmark after I had accessed a previous bookmark, my bookmark list starts from the very top of it instead of where I was previously within that bookmark list. Being I have many bookmarks, it is a real pain to have to constantly scroll down from the top of my bookmark list every time to access another bookmark. This peculiar situation just started today. In the past this would NOT happen when I accessed my bookmarks. Can someone please explain and help me? Thank you.

Is it possible to put the titlebar minimise/maximise/close buttons onto the same toolbar as the address bar? I've used userChrome.css to hide the tabs toolbar (since I use Tree Style Tab), but I'd prefer not to have a titlebar either. Ideally my window setup would look like what's in the attached image, but with the titlebar buttons to the right of the menu button. So far I can't figure out how to do so (or whether it's even possible with a post-Quantum Firefox).

I searched Firefox for Merryfield Veternary services in Hamden Ct. The site gave a wrong telephone number and incorrect E-mail address and Hours of operation. Tried to get Merryfield to correct this error but they said it was on yelp and they could not correct it. My concern was that my pet almost died because I was calling the number listed which was not correct leaving messages on that number and not getting any return call. Then found out the errors presented in the web search to find their location. This should be corrected I almost lost my

After re-starting my iMac the wrong characters appear for non-letter characters such as punctuation, which you can see in the screenshot from the pocket recommendations on the home page, where the issue doesn't appear too bad, but in practice trying to use any site with form inputs asking for email addresses etc. is impossible.

This has happened in the past and I have somehow been able to fix it, but this time nothing I've done helps. (It's only ever Firefox that is affected.)

I have deleted the app and re-installed it. I have cleared cache and cookies. I have cleared all browser history etc. I have tried changing fonts from the defaults. I'm not sure there are any other troubleshooting steps I can take.

I'm using FF developer edition, current version (just re-installed it, but it is always up-to-date, and this has been happening for a year or two). MacOS 12.6.3.

I'm a long-time FF user and until now I've lived with this inconvenience as I've somehow fixed it after troubleshooting steps, but this time I can't stumble upon the solution.

Have to keep scrolling bookmarks folders from the top instead of being able to pick up where I left off LIKE IT USED TO BE.

Also, instead of being able to right click and open bookmarks in new tabs to try and speed things up, it immediately switches to the new tab, which means having to scroll from the top of the folder AGAIN anyway. And yes, I'm well aware of the "switch to it immediately" option in the settings menu, and that box is UNCHECKED in my settings.

I'm not the only one complaining about this time waster, yet no replies from support on any of the threads.
