Firefox Community Forum

My bookmarks toolbar shows but it is blank. I had 60+ bookmarks on it. Why did Firefox trash my bookmarks?

Why did Firefox force me to create a new profile? I can get to my old profile, but the bookmarks toolbar is blank. The bookmarks showed for a while, then the toolbar went blank. What gives?

I have had all kinds of problems with Firefox the past several years, and I am about ready to can Firefox and go with Edge and Chrome. In my opinion, Firefox is a piece of crap, and I am fed up with it. I already have Edge and Chrome, but mostly use them as a backup when Firefox doesn't work right.

Is there any hope Firefox will get better, or should I jump ship with the other rats fleeing this despicable piece of junk? I have been hanging onto Firefox, because I am familiar with it and used to like it, and have used it for over a decade. But my patience is growing thinner.

It used to be when I would choose a theme that when a new tab or window opened that the theme was there. It hasn't been doing even with themes that I have used previously.

What is causing this?

Looking forward to your response. Thank you in advance, May Hughart

I'm unsure if this is the right place to be asking this as I'm new to the Mozilla forums, but I've noticed an issue with how text aligns when printing in the latest version of Firefox (148.0), specifically I'm using the 64-bit installation on Windows - I cannot confirm whether or not this issue can be replicated on other environments as I do not use them.

I noticed this issue when trying to print an order summary from Shopify - both in preview, physically printed sheets, and PDFs, the shipping/billing addresses had their lines 'smushed' together, rendering them illegible.

Was there a tweak in the latest update affecting how Firefox handles text, specifically in regards to its alignment, when printing from a webpage?

At first I thought this was a Shopify issue (as is the case more often than not), but after trying this out on different browsers (namely Chrome and Safari - boo), I could not replicate the issue.

I would share screenshots of how the issue presents, however I cannot do this without being in breach of GDPR and I do not want to share customers' sensitive information.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance! :)

Hello everyone. This is more of a review, because it is impossible to get help from these forums, effective help (judging by the AI-based answers) And it is impossible to write a review or suggest an idea, since the site does not open, which is ideas. Maybe because I'm from Russia. About six months ago, very serious problems started with the browser. I have Windows 11, a completely modern computer, and Kaspersky anti-virus. And the problem arose like this, from time to time, the browser began to multiply images in the tab, i.e., a random part of the image in the browser appeared instead of another element. And gradually the whole tab turned out to be in the form of a puzzle. This was accompanied by an actual system freeze, treated by logging back into the Windows profile, or rebooting, in the worst case. Simply put, the browser began to produce completely incomprehensible errors. And if it didn't bother me too much at first, I logged back in and that's it, in recent weeks the error has started to occur even during active browser use (it usually started after half an hour of inactivity) In recent weeks, the puzzle in the tab has appeared quite insanely often. By the way, there are no messages on this topic on the Web at all. And it's impossible to take a screenshot of the error, as the system was barely working at the time. As a result, I just reinstalled the browser, once again losing a huge number of open tabs (there are, of course, more than a thousand in the log, but there is no option to Open them) The ways to save sessions from the forum do not work at all, the extension of the Tab session manager did not work

And the review, in fact, was once a beautiful Fox, now it's not even a competitor to chrome. Which allows you to save data and restore it without unnecessary problems. I have installed Mozilla Firefox again, but all data will now be backed up in Chrome. Mozilla Firefox is just for surfing the Net. I would like the developers to think at least a little about user convenience. By making it convenient to work with data backup and recovery. And to make it work at all. By the way, the topics that AI advised me to read in the Firebox problem solving search rarely have more than 52% positive reviews. Is the browser really so poorly made, by modern standards, that almost half of users can't figure it out? And even tech support itself gives out standard tips that can't help.

This is my last message here, there's no point in answering.

I have installed Windows 11 to replace Windows 10 but my bookmarks in Firefox have disappeared, is there a way to retrieve my bookmarks that always appeared each time I opened Firefox?

Firefox installed a new release and now all my bookmarks, add-ins etc are gone. I went to About:profiles, but I when I launch the other profile that is there it still show the new profile

Ok, This latest version of Firefox is really Bad. It hangs on a lot of my online login accounts. Important things like my Amazon Chase Banking App. My Subscription access to HeyGen logs in for example but it won't work with features like creating your avatar. There is a LOT wrong with the current build.

Hello, on the 24th, I had opened a new tab to search something, like normal. It wasn't loading, so I closed my window of 20 or so tabs to reload the browser. When I reopened the browser, none of my tabs were there, and the "recently closed windows" option wasn't available in the three lines menu in the top-right of the browser page. I cannot search for all of these tabs individually in my history, as some of them were saved from many months ago. But I needed these tabs open to refer to them for work.

I saw a page describing how I could reload my last session from C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\khv448gm.default-release\sessionstore-backups, but those files had already overwritten with the session that didn't have any tabs. I looked through the "Previous Versions" tab in properties, but it only had previous versions of the folder from earlier that day, and not before I had closed the browser. I asked my IT department at work if they were able to load a previous version of the folder for me from before the 23rd, but they just redirected me to Mozilla support first.

My question is, is there any way I can restore all my old browser tabs? Or is there anywhere else I can look on my computer for locally stored previous sessions from before February 24th?

Thank you!

I just reinstalled my OS (Windows 11), and installed Firefox, logged in, and just couldn't believe my eyes. Everything is just gone. Passwords, history, everything. Why then Firefox Sync is using email and password if it doesn't have any cloud storage for passwords and doesn't even work like chrome? Should I install Firefox on my iPhone to regularly sync two devices (manually), to store passwords on another device, then sync back?

When syncing my account between browsers on other computers Tab Groups do not sync. I have to rebuild Groups in each browser. Also the Groups do not sync. I would like to see colors, tabs and positions sync throughout all browsers.

I would like to setup Firefox so it checks for updates and installs them during maintenance windows (overnight) and runs the updates as 'system' account.

I tried using the following GPO settings

Application Autoupdate Enabled Background updater Enabled Disable Firefox Studies Enabled Disable Telemetry Enabled Disable Update Disabled Don't Check Default Browser Enabled

This seems to create Schedule tasks in Windows task scheduler, but the tasks are running as previously logged on user accounts. which doesn't help us in this particular environment.

I know we can manually push out the latest version via creating new MCM application pushes but the amount of updates that are coming down is a labor intensive exercise and we don't have the budget for PatchMyPC

Please post any thoughts!

Hi! I got white line on the top of any pages. I see it for two my pc in firefox. Another browser has not it. How can i remove this bug? Please look the screenshot.

These are the two opend email sites that I always use with no problems until this last few weeks, photos added show when links are clicked on the page and the resounding resaults.

I realy hope that someone can realy help.

So far all other emails that I receive open with no problems.

Thank you in advance.

I don't know if it was a glitch in a recent update or something else, but every time I close a Firefox browser and then open a new one, it takes me through setting up Firefox EVERY time and changes my toolbar setting and erases my extensions. HELP!
