Firefox Community Forum

I recently updated to Firefox 131.0.3, having signed out of my Firefox/Mozilla account. Now I am trying to sign back in. After a seemingly successful sign-in (with email and pw, followed by "authorization code"), I'm taken to my account page. Scrolling down to Connected Services, I can see a recognizable account name (my Windows 11 user name and the name I've assigned to my computer). But looking up at the account button at the top right of Firefox, I see a small yellow triangle. Clicking on the button, I'm told "Account disconnected." (Remember, I'm currently looking at my account page, which says I'm connected.)

So I try to log in again. I give email address and password, and authorization code, and I'm in again. Now I see an addtional account connected, "Firefox 131, Windows 10" (remember, I'm using Windows 11).

So looking up again to the upper right at the account button, I see the yellow triangle, and clicking tells me once more that I'm disconnected, even though I have my account page open in front of me.

All of this, of course, prevents me from having access to the sync function. I've been through this circle several times with the same strange results.

Anyone have any idea what' going on.

Screenshot attached.

Thanks! Lance

Hi.

How come there is no option to turn off "Firefox Translation"? I speak three languages and every time I visit foreign web site, Firefox suggest translation to me. It's annoying.

My computer needed to be updated so I click on update without closing any programs because the computer usually does it. At this time I was in the School Library well the update was completed so I open up Firefox usually when i open firefox after a shutdown or some other reason. I can go to Open Application Menu>History>RestorePreviousSession but before I clicked on Restore Previous Session I realize that I need to go to class, so I closed my computer. once in class I open my computer up and I try to restore my previous session but by the time that I tried to restore it my session was deleted and my question is if anyone at FIREFOX can help restore that deleted session because I was working on my research project which is due this week, and in that particular session I had tabs open that I need so i can finish my project. Please reach out as soon as possible. This happen on Tuesday. Thank You

Hi, I'm looking for a way for everything saved on my firefox account including bookmarks, favorites, history etc.. to be automatically saved/backed up, EXACTLY the same way like Apple has it with iCloud.

If I lose my phone, I can log into icloud and get everything 100% the way it was on my new phone.

If I reset my computer, I want to be able to log into my firefox account and have everything exactly the same.

How to do this? I was told the firefox account sync doesn't back anything up...

want to be able to easily foreward links with reliable, popular addon on desktop and mobile

transitioning from google chrome on windows notebook and android mobiles

When I startup FireFox, it takes ~15 seconds to show me an page. After loading, it works normal and loads pages within a second, until I completely close the browser, and then the first page again takes ~15 seconds. I've been having this issue for the past few months.

- I tried disabling all my addons - Launched FireFox in troubleshoot mode - Deleted everything in DataReporting\Archived folder - Cleaned out History/Cookies and site data/Temporary cached files and pages - Tried both Default and Max protection for DNS over HTTPS - FireFox is allowed in Windows Defender firewall - Tried setting 'browser.cache.disk.enable' to FALSE - Tried changing 'Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows' to 'Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode' - Windows and FireFox are up-to-date

None of the above saw any improvement in loading time.

When I go to google search on Firefox and search for something in images, every result loads instantly. When I go to duck duck go in firefox, there is randomly huge communication lag time between pressing enter and a result populating (usually more than 30seconds-2min where normally it is instant) and a good majority of the image thumbnail results do not display. It didn't used to do this and I think something screwed something up on my computer. What can cause this?

Things I have tried: Resetting Firefox Deleting and Reinstalling Firefox Deleting all cache/cookies/Mozilla files in %appdata, program files, and other locations and reinstalling.

I prefer to use DDG over Google. Can someone help? Why is it doing this?

Thanks to a Microsoft update my PC had to have Windows reinstalled causing me to lose all my apps. I have reinstalled Firefox on the PC but of course, all my bookmarks and passwords are missing. I had set up syncing between my PC and my Android mobile devices (phone and tablet). Can I restore or sync from the mobile device back to the PC? I have searched and found nothing. Even when signed into Firefox on the phone, it does not bring up "Sync" when I go to settings. I truly appreciate your help.

When I down load my bank statements in (PDF) they are not readable. To get aropund this issue, I have to use Google. What I see when I try to open the PDF i get a BLACK screen and key board is locked up. To escape I do a Ctrl,Alt,Delete. This has been going on for some 5 to 6 months. When i contacted my bank they sugggested using another browser. There are other problems which have crept up, but I get around by using Google.

Directv streaming has been operational since I signed up a few weeks ago until today using FireFox browser except today. After signing into Directv , the channels display correctly but will not open for viewing. Need guidance on the fix.

So I reformatted my computer today, but the process allowed me to keep all my personal files. I had made a backup in my appdata for all my passwords and bookmarks like Firefox allows when you're in Manage Passwords or Manage Bookmarks. After the formatting, I sign into my Firefox account, and it Syncs almost immediately. When I go into my appdata, the profile has been overwritten by the new sync, meaning all my passwords and bookmarks are now no longer available. Is there legitimately anything I can do??

Transferred everything to a new computer (Windows 11). All my bookmarks transferred just fine but the little logos are all gone and every bookmark has only the little "globe" logo. How can I get back all the individual logos? Thanks, Len

New addons on Firefox become blank on restarting the browser.

They return when I manually disable and enable them once.

How to fix this? Doesn't happen to older addons.

I am trying to let Google Translate use my microphone. I haven't gotten a pop-up asking for it to use my microphone, and I've looked in settings on the site permissions panel and it isn't coming up. I have other sites, even other sites from Google, allowed to use my microphone. How do I let Google Translate to use my microphone?

Flickr.com will not display properly. I get misplaced text instead of photographs. Flickr will display properly in SlimJet. https://gyazo.com/f9a96b57496bfba29b16d967ef42a0db

I keep getting alerts that my computer is infected with viruses and to go to a site called antiplus.co.in to fix the problem... is that legitimate? McAfee does not find any viruses when I perform a scan....

I had to type all of this again. Why??? It just didn't send the question after... It said error I will copy and paste this somewhere as a backup... ARGH

I use Chrome on a daily basis. But I really hate the feature that it just automatically autocompletes/search suggestions whatever I want to search. But I tried everything, I tried changing the settings, tried asking the community but I violated the TOS (I insulted Googles CEO, but I won't insult anyone here : ). Every single setting I tried. YouTube videos are out of date... Answers on the Google community and they won't help.

Until I found this little genius. And I'm glad that I'm typing this again. FireFox is a little genius. It finally doesn't autocomplete/search suggest/force you to backspace whatever I want to search. Until I came back to what I was doing on this text based MMO RPG website.

It was okay with whatever I was doing. Until I went to that text based torn.com game. But until when I attacked a player. It lagged and slowed down, until the point that my temporary weapon effect just expired. It was also very slow and I was unsatisfied by it.

I also noticed that FireFox doesn't support Timeline on Google maps. I don't want to add how I emphasized on Google and Opera with a fake WW2 quote. So if you are a part working with Mozilla, an employee of Mozilla Foundation. Yes, take this as a feedback.

For the past several weeks I have been having issues where some parts of websites don't load like on Twitch and amazon, and YouTube videos are choppy and pause playback frequently. I have a 7800 X3D CPU, 32 GB of DDR5, and gigabit Ethernet so its not a problem with outdated hardware. I also reinstalled the newest drivers twice, updated my bios, updated Windows, and reset my router so I'm not really sure whats causing the problem. I tested twitch and youtube on Edge and the issues are kinda there but considerably better. I was having similar issues on youtube several months ago when I was using opera, so I switched to firefox and it seemed to fix the problem until now.
