Firefox Support Forum

I have seen multiple copies of this question, some unanswered, some with the same "answer". All the questions are closed so I cannot reply to them. The "answer" does not work.

I have the "Show tabs from other devices" sidebar. I also can access from "Open application menu" > email address > list of synced tabs. Both methods show me the device name and all of my synced tabs. Neither method has an "open all tabs" option. If I right click my device name nothing happens. If I right click a tab, it opens that one tab. I don't know how many tabs I have on my Android. I have enough tabs that it only shows the infinity symbol instead of the number. It has shown the infinity symbol for a long time and I've opened many more tabs since. It could be hundreds or even thousands of tabs. I have 224 tabs on my laptop. I want to open all 224 laptop tabs plus all however many Android tabs on my laptop at the same time. I'm aware this will cause significant lag on my laptop. I'm not looking for a solution for that or people telling me not to do that. I want to know how to open all of my synced tabs at once on my laptop, without having to click through one by one.

Firefox 113.0.1 (64-bit) "Firefox is up to date"

So my FF interface language is German but I do write a lot off stuff in English so I installed a bilingual dictionary. I have no clue how to enable it though. In "languages" the default German language is enabled. In "dictionaries" my new dict is enabled. When I right click underlined text in English it offers me either German OR English but not the bilingual dictionary. When I click "add dictionary" I get to the page where I found that bilingual dictionary in the first place. This is very confusing behavior.

Keeps freezing. Keep getting "not responding" message. Typically I can have several tabs open on two screens but now after using Firefox for a while I start having issues. Really just want my favorite browser back.

I'm unable to access a website on Firefox DDG but I can on Google. Somehow I got to a page somewhere that says "Element.releaseCapture() is deprecated. Use Element.releasePointerCapture() instead. For more help https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Element/releasePointerCapture menupopup.js:160:13". I'm guessing this is telling me the website address is incorrect. I don't know how to find a different "pointer" nor do I know how to enter the correct pointer into a phrase I can't find. Can someone please tell me what to do? Thanks.

Have version 113.0.1 (64 bit) on Win 10

After an update from mozilla my credit union statements would not open or save. They do open on MIcrosoft Edge. There are other sites that open pdfs correctly with Firefox. The Credit Union IT said The government is requiring them to be more secure and they recommend I change browsers which I do not want to. There is no apparent error code or message. Just searching for a solution.

Firefox automatically updated and now tabs sync, which I absolutely hate and want to implode the Earth because this even exists. I go to the options to turn off the stupid pointless sync and oh wait it doesn't turn off. The box is not checked. Tabs still sync and display a worthless icon on my taskbar because apparently Mozilla thinks I'm such an idiot I need AN EXTRA FRICKING ICON to tell me I have open tabs in my browser.

So how do I actually turn this trashbag "feature" off if it's not by deselecting it in the "Sync" panel, since that doesn't work?

I have been using Firefox for a very, VERY long time and until recently, loved it.

I have a few newer issues now:

1). If I am NOT on the internet using Firefox (Which is for internet use), why is it still running? This slows my system down while I am working with graphics programs. It should do an update check when I use it on the net (As a non-invasive background process) and not interfere with my work.

2). When I am online playing my game (Wizard 101), IF I have Firefox running in the background, I get lots, I mean LOTS of lag time and freezing screens. If I don't activate Firefox, then there is no lag or freezing screens.

Before you say I need to check my computer; sorry but THAT is NOT the problem. I have been using the same computer and the ONLY change is the "5 Million" tiny updates of Firefox.

So how do I fix these issues...or do I dump Firefox (And all things Mozilla) and find another browser program? Is it wrong to expect better from you guys??

i logged in to my firefox account on my daughters laptop - but my bookmarks didn't appear - when i synced now her bookmarks have replaced mine - i want mine back please

I am having problems with my Google Gmail. It won't load properly in Firefox (I have no problem in other browsers) and now I can't access YouTube. I'm having to delete my history continually and restart the Firefox. What's going on? I do have the current version of Firefox installed.

Hi,

When I try to sign on to my bank, PNC, I always get annoying two step verification. The problem is with Firefox. When I use troubleshoot, this does not happen. When I use Chrome it does not happen. It does not happen on mobile. Help!

Thank You, Leslie

I am on a Apple Silicon MacMini M1 ARM running the latest Mac OS of Ventura. why does Firefox think I am on an Intel machine under Mac OSx 10.15 when I am on Mac OS Ventura? I assume that Mozilla does not have a ARM version or is this a configuration issue? Or is there a different issue at play here?

Is there a way to ensure size & shape of page remains the same from session to session? I use my TV as a monitor and every time I open Firefox I have to manually reshape the browser to fit the screen. I'd love for it to come up the same each time.

Thanks, Richard

Dear Support people, Firefox now not opening several sites (which open when I cut and paste url into MS Edge). This has become increasingly inconvenient. I have put the respective sites urls in the "Exceptions" files for both cookies and pop-ups. This has sometimes helped, but is not working at all now. I've been with FF for years, but am thinking of switching to another browser now. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Good Day All - Previously I had installed a extension for my homepage. I had to reinstall my operating system and now that I'm reinstalling firefox I can't find the extension I was using previously. Is there any way in Firefox to see the history of the extensions tied to my account ?

When I click on 'gmail' it opens in a tech support email search history instead of inbox. I have gone to settings and tried to do something but I don't understand the options.

I have a Firefox account and I want to recover my bookmarks and passwords. My Windows 10 PC didn't boot up so I had to do a factory reset. After the reset, I logged into Firefox and tried using the Import and Backup tool. There was only one recovery date so I chose that. I clicked on the date and was prompted "This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the backup. Are you sure?" I click OK and nothing happens. I didn't see my bookmarks and rebooted my computer.

It sounds like this might be two different issues: Bookmarks and Passwords.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
