Anytime I close out Firebox all my tabs and history are gone. Even if I make tabs it keep being deleted. This happen recently after I sync with my steam deck. I didn't touch my setting recently, Firefox should auto-update so it good, and my account is safe. I don't know what is happening that can caused this bug and only thing that I find is weird is having two same account on my deck and not my pc. Only thing I can think to fix is to uninstall Firefox which I will try later.

How do I search the Firefox History section to Exclude results with certain words. For example, if I had searched for Firefox and Thunderbird, and wanted history with Mozilla but not Thunderbird. A minus sign before the word(s) to exclude does not seem to work.

I have a new computer and I installed Firefox and when I open Firefox, my previous session tabs are opening, even though the "Open previous windows and tabs" is NOT checked.

Hello,

As it stands, there's an... I dunno, 30 second delay before I can even click the "clear data" button to select that I want to delete my cache.

I wish to remove this. I want to clear my cache when I have an issue that MAKES ME HAVE TO CLEAR MY CACHE. I don't want to wait until Firefox thinks I've understood what will happen EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

What about:config setting do I have to change so Firefox doesn't treat me like a child who hasn't learned patience?

Thank you.

Since the latest stable update, I have not been able to shift click or control click multiple entries on the history tab to delete entries.

I have to click the trash icon on each item now and its very time consuming.

Is this on purpose? is there a setting to revert to the old way?

TIA

My setting for "Open previous windows and tabs upon startup" is no longer working. It always used to, for years! Now whenever I launch Firefox, I only get a single, fresh tab.

The sidebar on Firefox seems to have updated with a sidebar that looks different and only allows history searching by date OR site. I regularly access websites quickly through the old sidebar style that allows sorting by date AND site. Is there a way to get this back?

Hello,

There's a way to recover a pack of history that I left open, but I've put another station open together and closed the old one first, and now I've lost a lot of tabs that were open. I don't know if Mozilla has that function, but that will be great. Something like that saves me a lot of times in Chrome, but I want here. Mozilla is better

There apparently should be a ... menu with a remove from history. There is none so on my firefox. Please help

After updating to version 137, when opening mozilla firefox, previously opened tabs are not restored, and the home page opens. The settings are set correctly. How can I return the old version or fix the problem?

Every time that I need to quit the application it doesn't re-open all the windows I had, frustrating to say the least losing so much work.

Address the matter please, it makes me cringe whenever there is a new update.

Than you, Wael

I like to use mozilla having several windows open. I don't turn it off in the standard way, I just turn off the computer with all windows open. When I turn Mozilla back on, all the recently closed windows open for me. I remember that it was enough to change one function in about:config.

I'm on a 2017 Macbook Pro. I believe I was using Firefox 137.0 but have now gone back to the last saved update session file which is 133.0.3.

When I close Firefox, it clearly recognises all the open windows as it asks if I want to close all 6 windows. When I reopen Firefox it briefly shows all the windows in position but before it reopens all the tabs in those windows, 2 of them disappear. If I open a new tab and start typing something I know is in those missing windows it suggests "Switch to tab". If I click on that the current window dulls as if the requested window and its tabs have become active but the entire window is invisible. I have tried renaming xulstore and localstore and tried deleting xulstore entirely. Neither worked. It's possible that I hit some mental combination of shift, command and something near the 3 or 4 keys on the keyboard as I was trying to take a quick screenshot on a website before a pop up reappeared. This was the last session where everything was as it should be. I wish I hadn't gone back to the saved update session from December as its clear the app still recognises the windows are "there". I've reopened it so many times since having deleted tabs, cookies, whatnot that the session I was in before things went pear shaped is now long gone. If I click on the icon for recent browsing it shows 6 windows and I subsequently deleted some tabs from the missing windows that might've been an issue, were recent, or might use more power like Youtube or news sites. On restarting, the 2 missing windows remain invisible. In the words of Penelope Pitstop. "Hayulp!" Any guidance or tissues gratefully received.
