Firefox Support Forum

After Latest update, Bookmarks under address bar, NO LONGER APPEAR, ICONS GONE, BLANK LINE ACCROSS, does not copy, drag or paste, must use side bar or shuffle through menu, will revert to default browser if not fixed, new update is totally screwed up, please fix it. THIS PROBLEM ARRIVED SOLELY FROM THE LATEST UPDATE, MIGHT AS WELL USE MICROSOFT BROWSER IF NOT FIXED, LIKE USING A DINOSAUR.

I can't seem to get the keyboard shortcut on the Official Multi account container to function correctly.

CTRL + Shift + 1 or any number does not work.

Not sure what I could be doing wrong!

Hello Firefox,

I sent a troubleshooting question a couple hours ago to which jscher2000 responded. I was unable to answer his questions from my email as his address was noreply How do I continue a conversation if not thru email?

Every Firefox update causes the need to confirm my identity thru an email or phone text to many of my bookmarked and frequently visited sites. Very annoying & time consuming.

Anything I can do or set to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,

Had to reinstall the Browser on my laptop after a harddrive replacement. I'm avoiding changing my password on my primary Firefox Account (Currently on a brand new FF Account using an email I typically don't use ) since that event will cause me to lose bookmarks etc on my primary FF account due to their encryption settings.

This is all because I can't remember my main password, for my primary FF Account email. And, I'm trying to not get locked out from login attempts.

At the moment my primary FF Account is logged in to my Desktop PC. Is there some way to view my password on my primary account that is currently logged in on my Desktop PC, without totally compromising my Account synced info?

I just want to resync everything to my laptop :/ That's the main problem I'm running in to, because there is no way to reset my password WITHOUT losing tons of my info. I'm pretty sure I don't have 2FA set up nor any alternative methods for password recovery. I wasn't prompted them.

After the latest update, trying to log into some sites, eg, https://web.emporiaenergy.com/#/login, the password field drops characters, takes 2 or 3 keystrokes to get a char to enter. Autofill fails miserably. What changed? This is unusable. BTW, tried with Chrome, no problem at all.

Try to sign on to MyATT.com in Firefox and after entering my ID & password the screen continues to flip between "Redirecting" and another screen with a large AT&T logo but never reaches the actual AT&T payment screen! worked with AT&T tech support and never could resolve it on Firefox but works fine on Chrome!!

Wh.en I opene my bank account website, I get the following message: "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page." It is followed by a box with the word "Stop" in it. if I click on that, the page freezes. Can someone tell me why this is happening and what I have to do to fix it?

I'm having problems with message board posts, and they said the problem was browser related rather than on their end. And I don't really have the vocabulary to look up a solution, so I'm asking here.

When I'm writing a post in a text box-- and I don't know if it's supposed to be called a text box, but it's shorter than "that box at the bottom of the thread where you type your post and then hit enter"-- if I go to a different page, when I come back, the text box is (inconsistently) blank. Everything I was writing is gone.

This was not the case up until a few days ago. If I needed to, say, post links to a bunch of threads, I could go to each thread in turn, copy the URL, and then back-arrow to the page with the post-in-progress and everything would be there waiting for me. I could be fifteen pages out from where I started, but as long as I used the back-arrow, it would be fine.

Like I said, I made a bug report on the message board itself and they told me "That's not a function of site, it's a function of your browser. If it's changed, it's because your browser has updated (or an extension is interfering)". I also talked to a friend to try to narrow down the problem and he came up with "it's probably a cache issue".

So where do I go from here to try to fix things?

Firefox update deleted large number of extensions, lost much data. unable to use or sign into banking and secure sites, traveling and unable to access air carrier, check in, customs, immigration. you know all the very most important requirement. complete screw-up. update to extensions does not work either. 5 days so far in super inconvenience.

After upgrading one machine from Fx 110.0.1 to Fx 112.0.1 (as per usual with "major" upgrades with the full install file) I noticed very high CPU usage when closing Fx, and it took quite some time to settle. I upgraded it to 112.0.2 via Help-About, but saw the same issue.

That is, starting Fx, opening a "private browsing window" and visit some site, say a search engine, then closing the private window and finally the first Fx window. (At the time I also see some spikes in CPU usage from the firewall software etc.)

Since I can’t have it like this, computer almost stalling for 30 sec, after closing Fx, and to see if there would be any update later to solve this issue, I uninstalled Fx 112.0.2 (I have complete backups of Fx profiles), and, just as a test, reinstalled Fx using the prior version of setup that I had, Fx 110.0.

Of course this meant a clean profile, not what any user wants to see (missing bookmarks is almost minor compared to all settings, incl. in add-ons, gathered over time. So I used the profile manager to change to my previously used default profile. After a restart I was greeted with a prompt that this couldn’t be done (since it may corrupt bookmarks(?) etc.) and I was left with the only options to abort (cancel) or create a new profile. Oh, great. I had not even used the newer ver. (Fx 112) to change or create anything, but I assume Mozilla could have something between the different versions.

So, I uninstalled Fx 110.0 (and of course in the process of creating a new profile/resetting settings it had reverted to "download updates in background", and I had to change that setting back, and stopped what was pending, during my tests trying to move it to my old profile). I installed Fx again, using the setup file for 112.0.1 and did a direct upgrade to 112.0.2, and pointed it to my old default profile, which had been used with 110.0.1 and during the first upgrade to 112.0.1.

Fx is working with my profile again, but it takes a very long time to close and (perhaps together with other software) consumes a lot of CPU, almost stalling the PC. During one such situation this morning I got two prompts for XULRunner "Could not determine any profile running in background task mode!" Never seen before. (I noticed that there now is a new folder in Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\ called "Background Tasks Profiles".

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Since a recent upgrade, so many of my banking and work sites are non-functional. It is frustrating. I have to switch to stupid, high AD Edge browser to get things done. I added the problem websites to allow pop-ups, sometimes it works. I am pretty savvy and cannot be an outlier.
