Firstly, I have a brain injury. I am easily overwhelmed by information and am slow to understand - especially anything to do with I.T.
Recently, I began successfully accessing the internet / Firefox via my Wifi Repeater. As of two or three days ago. I keep being asked to "log in to access the Internet", but even after I do it (successfully, as far as my repeater is concerned) I'm no further forward; I keep being asked to log in.
Thanks to my repeater I have a strong signal when in my garden office. But after a month, Firefox has suddenly stopped allowing me to use it. I am back at Square 1, before I purchased the thing.
I need need to work from my office. Please help resume my Repeater's access.
Kind regards,
Sean

Somehow this en.softonic nonsense has made it into my windows notifications tab under 'firefox' notifications. How can I get rid of it? I can't find it in the General, Add-on or Extensions settings of Firefox or Windows Uninstall to turn it off or remove it.
How can I get rid of it? I don't want it.
Thanks

I have multiple monitors and most often have Firefox windows open on each. Lately, I've been noticing that the Desktop Window Manager process is consuming a huge amount of RAM. At the same time, consumption completely disappears with the closing of Firefox windows. Video: https://i.imgur.com/pHCa7Hh.mp4 (I left it for a while then closed Firefox windows) After a while, I noticed that already 13 GB of memory is being used by DWM. I don't know if sites affect behavior, but most often I have https://music.yandex.ru/home open

Hello,
I am desperately trying to recover lost tabs from Firefox Browser after 2 crashes, freezing and forced shutdowns. I need the tabs for my work, and as usually happens, this has occurred at a time when I'm running to meet a critical deadline.
I've tried going to history, but the "recently closed tabs" option was greyed out:-( I've tried searching for other solutions, but cannot fine any that fit my situation. I'm not an IT expert - I know my way around what I need to use (i.e. professional worker), so clear & simple explanation would be much appreciated.
Can I recover the lost tabs from backed up data or a previous system image? My system is Windows 7, and I'm currently running Firefox version 115.0.2. All suggestions welcome!
Thanking you in anticipation off prompt assistance, MLH

Firefox on Windows keeps telling me that my tab has crashed every time i open a new tab. I have tried turning off all my extensions and add-ons, clearing the cache and cookies, turning off hardware acceleration, reinstalling the browser, clearing the appdata files and finally removing any and all firefox files in mozilla folders i could find on my computer, but nothing works. Strangely enough it works only when i open it in troubleshooting mode, even though I've reinstalled the browser 4 times now. It was working just fine earlier, but when i turned on my computer it would not work. The only thing i did in between it working and not working was play a videogame on Steam. Please help, this is driving me crazy. I am using an MSI 64-bit laptop and the latest version of Firefox 64-bit.
Hello every one, can anyone help me to get rid of this icon/symbol. Thanks.

Hi, i am on linux an Firefox 115.0.2. Every supported website appeared in dark mode because of my preferences in the firefox settings respectively about:config layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override is set to 2 and my system mode is dark. (0 and 3 changes nothing) Since some time this settings does not work anymore. The only thing i have changed is: about:config - privacy.trackingprotection.enabled set to true So now all the websites appeared in dark mode now appear in light mode. Chrome shows all these websites in dark mode. (But of course thats no option :-)) An Example: reddit.com: before: dark, now: light mode, Chrome dark mode. So please help! regards, awilli

Hi all, I use to update Firefox with my Linux distribution package: I build the new package then upgrade it on the system. Anytime at the first launch of the new Firefox just installed version, it opens a new blank profile instead of my usual profile. I can set my usual profile as default by launch Firefox Profile Manager. So after update I launch from command line terminal or through launcher bar:
firefox -p
And It starts up profile manager, then I choose my usual profile and check it as default one. After that, when I open Firefox again, it uses my usual profile as expected.
Now the question: - is there a way to automate this procedure so I have not to repeat it anytime after I update the browser?
PS. I noticed my "profiles.ini" file is populated with a lot of profiles sections, likely maybe anytime I update, a new one is added in here. I don't know if it is a regular behavior or not.

Whenever I type something in the URL bar that starts with the word "amazon," instead of getting a Google search for what I typed, I get redirected to Amazon.com with whatever I typed as a product search. For example, if I type "amazon sucks" in Firefox's URL bar, instead of getting a Google search for the phrase "amazon sucks," I get an Amazon page with the word "sucks" pre-filled in Amazon's product search (and a screen full of socks).
I don't have a search keyword for "amazon" in my Firefox settings. As far as I can tell, no other magic word does the same thing. (For example, if I type "yahoo sucks" or "walmart sucks," I get the desired Google searches. I don't get redirected to a Yahoo or Walmart page.
How do I turn this behavior off?

I have tried syncing to the time server and manually updating the time with no success. It is only happening on this computer. My other laptop and my Android are fine, so it has something to do with something on this PC. I've tried to disable vpns but that hasn't helped. Any insight is greatly appreciated since the timestamp is crucial for much of what I do!

Hello, my WIN 10 Drive got busted, meaning I can not boot with it anymore. However, with an other WIN10 drive I still can access the data. I need to save all the Firefox bookmarks before I will format the Drive and install a fresh WIN10. All the searches just tell how to backup when Firefox is open or Win is running: Press WIN Key... etc. None of them is applicable. I have I have bookmarks saved as bookmarks as well as I have a lot on the upper bar. I need them all.
Please teach me how I can back them up and restore on a fresh Firefox. In previous crashes I lost a lot of bookmarks already. ' Thank you.

A website I have to use for my work (for the Queensland Department of Education) requires that I input a 6-digit code; for *security*, they insist it be input by clicking on a keypad that scrambles the position of the number keys each time... It's meant to look like the first image attached below, but when I try to open it in Firefox, it looks like the second image and I can't input my code. I'd like to be able to use Firefox for EVERYTHING but I end up having to use Chrome to access this site, which I use pretty much every day for work, and it's very inconvenient.

Hi everyone, When i go to the website config.office.com in firefox there is just a white screen. Nothing more. Instantly white. I have checked if this is an issue at the side of Microsoft but it doesn't look like it is. The website does load correctly in Microsoft Edge.
I tried the following in Firefox: - Firefox is up to date (Version 115.0.2 64 Bits) , I have had this issue in other versions of Firefox too. It's not a new issue in this newest version. - Tried disabling all the security features in Firefox, disabling all add-ons, and disabling the extra security for cookies - Starting firefox in safe mode (Shift click on firefox, then open the website) - Checked the Network inspector. All packets have status 200 (See the first screenshot)
You can check the second screenshot for the white page.
Some help is appreciated :) Thanks!

My problems started after the upgrade to 113 when Firefox would no longer load at all. I tried deleting and reinstalling, but nothing changed until I moved the profile (yeah profile mgr didn't work either). I finally got it to reinstall and ran sync but had to also reinstall my extensions/addons. The extensions appear to be working, but the are not displaying in either the toolbar area or in customizations.
I have tried searching all over and different solutions but thus far nothing has worked. That includes right clicking on the extension and selecting to add it to the toolbar.
I repeat, the extensions appear to be working though I cannot call some of them up (EverNote for example), and I need Lastpass on the toolbar for password generation and to access the vault.
Extensions ARE displaying in Chrome browser.eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Attached is image of customization scree that also shows toolbar area. No addons anywhere.

How do I remove pocket from Firefox?
The published solution does not work. When I type "about:config" in the URL, then "pocket," and change the "extensions.pocket.enabled" to "false," the pocket page still shows up after I close a session or a screen asking me to sign in to pocket. I am always closing unnecessary pocket related tabs.
As I remember, one time it worked but only for two days and then the some form of the pocket page showed up again.
Restarting Firefox does not change anything. Please advise.
