Firefox Community Forum

There are 4 toolbars at the top of the Firefox screen. The default order from top to bottom seems to be:

 Menu bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar
 Bookmarks bar   (which Firefox apparently calls "PersonalToolbar")

I would like to move the Bookmarks bar above the Tabs bar so the order is;

 Menu bar
 Bookmarks bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar

I tried to use ChatGPT to accomplish this. After well over 6 iterations, I gave up (ChatGPT was still going strong - hallucinating?). The only code in userChrome.css that accomplished this is shown below. Unfortunately it leaves the order as:

 Bookmarks
 Navigation
 Menu
 Tabs

Can a human expert help me where ChatGPT failed? ___________________

   display: flex;
   flex-direction: column-reverse;

}

My system memory is reading at 57% right now in task manager, that the vast majority of that is being used by Firefox.

Why?

Normally, this would be called a flaw in the program, not the user, as all I have done in regards to settings is "keep tabs previous open when re-opening Firefox" and "Do not automatically update" because Firefox took it upon itself to not re-open my previous tabs on the last update.

Why is this program eating up all of that memory? I have "Firefox (15)" in Task manager under "Apps" and then 13 more instances of Firefox in "Backround Processes"

Wtf?

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.

I have no way to log in to my google accounts right now. On any google site, if I hit log-in it redirects me to this page:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies. My firefox browser is up to date. I tried disabling ad blocker and cookie auto-delete. Javascript is enabled and I even tried turning on that feature that prevents page redirects. I'm truly at a loss for what to do.

Firefox won't connect to this site I just updated it to the newest version. It works on edge, chrome. It says The page isn’t redirecting properly

On 10/5/2024 I suddenly had no access to my saved passwords for websites, all my bookmarks were gone and no autofill works anymore. I have searched and searched for anything relating to these missing saves in password manager, I've used EaseUS, I've tried system restore. It's like my my saves were completely wiped! When I did a system restore, Firefox uninstalled itself completely when it shouldn't have. Now it's like I never had Firefox on this pc and there's no history or anything dated before today 10/6/2024. I've tried import from other browsers and there's nothing there. I'm a bit upset here, is my history, saved passwords, bookmarks and, autofill just gone and irretrievable?

Is there any Add-on that will shoot a scrolling screenshot (full page screenshot)?

For reference, there's an excellent extension on Chrome/Brave called "Go full screen" which has simple but perfect functionality, one-click automation, saves as either .pdf or .png format to your downloads folder.

On certain websites, I see that the background color of the new tab page replaces the default background color making the content unreadable, example:

If I browser this website: https://typespec.io/docs

Here's what I see (see the firsrt attached screenshot). Now, if I open the same URL in Private browsing, the background color changes too (see the second screeenshot). In the 3rd screenshot I'm adding the reference rendering, that's how I expect this website to render (Edge).

In the screenshot 1 and 2, the background color is exactly the same as the one used by the new tab page when I open a new tab.

Questions: 1) Why is that? 2) Can I change that?

Context: I'm trying to switch to Firefox (from Edge)

I was filling out a City of Portland nuisance complaint form, but the "SUBMIT" button would not appear in order for the complaint form to be transmitted. I could only scroll down so far -- there was nothing more, no page two, etc. Email to City confirmed the problem with the form was on my end. Then I used Safari to get that same City complaint form. Same site, same form. But, on Safari there was about a full page more to the form that had been missing on Firefox. Additional questions, boxes to check, spaces to fill, places to upload photos/files. And at the bottom of the form was the "SUBMIT" button. I don't think I've had this particular issue with other forms, questionnaires, etc. elsewhere. Is there a filter or something blocking random stuff?

I'm not able to Screenshot the page as shown in Safari, so: https://www.portland.gov/homelessness-impact-reduction/report-campsite I think I can "Add image" as a screenshot of the form as shown in Firefox . . . . . . . . . . . . . . oh well, turns out I don't know how to make all that happen. Thanks for whatever anyone can come up with.

I am having increasingly frequent cases when Mozilla impedes the correct operations of final actions such as 'submit', 'enter' 'place order' etc. On such occasions, applying the cursor has a minimal effect on the relevant Click Button. I have also had trouble with its proper interaction with Roboform. The latter have tried to provide me with solutions but none have worked so far. I am now in the middle of establishing a separate Profile for Roboform. Surely, all this should not be happening. It certainly does not with Microsoft Edge, which I have had to use in such occasions. It feels as if there is a barrier around Mozilla preventing correct interaction with other bodies. Please help.

After re-installing Firefox, when logging in Firefox redirects homepage via some website not identified as the homepage website. Clicking on Firefox homepage icon results in: Click on homepage icon results in https://ww01.bestinternetaccess.com/?dn=bestinternetaccess.com&enc_lnk=dGVx%2FWjzvrTAKEUsrpUDW14g%2BKS2DvNZiBNn56w5HwocUGMh8DeEpVNcFN1lBDPG&enc_txt=bNceErLP%2BB%2BEXC773n1LdXSWPc5%2FA%2B%2Fg6QR%2B9XABNRJszMW5qKTiBuRgDVnkYF0%2BVf1PPu%2FvZJWZbDXmVu2VOoI18B29YtI%2F%2BP%2B7wwWrft9Q45e28hA7IxX0bA0geFfn&pbsubid=f0afada4-f117-4015-b81b-da4435c87df4&pid=9POT3387I Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a web developer, writing PHP on a Windows server. When there is a server-side error, Firefox doesn't give me any useful information, it just says "There's a problem..." (see picture) Well, yes, I know, I'm the one who did it, but I need to know exactly what the problem is.

NOTE: error handling and detailed error pages are turned ON - this is not a server issue.

FF behaves this way in both normal and private windows.

Chrome/Edge/Chromium show me the full error message, Firefox does not, as you can see in the images. I prefer Firefox's developer tools to Chrome's, but this destroys my productivity as I have to stop, switch browsers, copy/paste the URL, go back...and so on. I'd rather not switch back to Chrome if I don't have to.

Is there a setting in Firefox that will let me see the server's information?

Until recently I have been able to select where my bookmarks are saved. I have a large number of folders to keep my bookmarks organized by subject. Recently I no longer have the option to select where a bookmark is saved. Is it possible to fix this prolem?

Please, PLEASE help! I've been trying for a week to log in to Google for my email, etc. with NO luck (I have Windows 10 and Firefox as my default browser). I've tried all three steps in Google's prompt-menu but no luck. PLEASE help, and SOON!

Hi,

I have an odd problem with a friend's Firefox and Thunderbird on Windows. The font changed to white in the address bar, the tab titles, some content on websites, some elements of the settings etc.

From what I can see there is no difference to my settings under "Language and Appearance". When I create a new profile either with the profile manager in Firefox or by renaming "%appdata"\Mozilla Firefox", nothing changes. So I can rule out a custom userchrome.css or similar in the profile folder. When I switch to "troubleshoot mode" with the old or the new profile, everything looks fine.

It also affects Thunderbird, but no other programms.

I can't figure out, where the problem lies.

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.

(sorry for my bad English) I delete and again install Firefox, and after this if I open tabs (Youtube, etc) and close browser, tabs doesn't restore and showing default 1 search tab Firefox. Setting to restore tabs enabled, but not working, lile a method with about:setting. I will be grateful for help.

Trying to get on twitter, doesn't matter how I approach it I get redirected to a page that tells me my browser is not supported. Firefox is very much still listed as a supported browser.

Went through previous help discussions about this problem. I have made firefox forget twitter completely, and I've added it as an exception to enhanced tracking, neither of which have resolved the issue. I'm still only able to get to a page telling me my browser is not supported. It was working fine two days ago.

Any other suggestions?

How can I remove monitor, relay, mozilla vpn from the Account drop down menu. See attached example.

The ONLY reason anyone goes further down this menu is to get to the other tabs on other devices. These things, on especially my super small laptop screen, only get in the way.

Any way to stop showing these in this menu?

I really appreciate your time and help. I understand Mozilla's want to promote these, but come on, get this crap out of the way.
