Firefox Community Forum

I have really liked using the "refresh" button with my Firefox browser. The "refresh" button has disappeared from one of my two Dell PC's (I use Windows Eleven, and my Dell PC's have solid state drive). I know there are two other "help" buttons ("troubleshoot mode" and "clear startup cache"). The "refresh" button has really helped me to keep my Firefox browser working properly with my two Dell PC's. Thank you for any comments you might have about this.

I see in one of the past recent updates, I notice that "- Original Profile" is in the windows and not just the title of the website I'm on. Any way to remove it? It looks off and not necessary to me.

Hi

I need to block some sites through the OS Hosts file, Other browsers ( Edge, Chrome, .. ) are honoring the HOSTS file rules but Firefox bypassing them !! , I disabled the DNSOverHTTPS and all other available suggestion and options but still not honoring the hosts file !

as you can see in the attached file, the Firefox DNS Section is now blank ! but still doesn't follow the OS host file

I even made a custom policy file but still doesn't work, these are the things I disabled but still not working :

{

 "policies": {
   "DNSOverHTTPS": {
     "Enabled": false,
     "Locked": true
   },
   "Preferences": {
     "network.trr.mode": {
       "Value": 5,
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.dns.native_https_query": {
       "Value": false,
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.trr.uri": {
       "Value": "",
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.trr.bootstrapAddress": {
       "Value": "",
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.trr.exclude-etc-hosts": {
       "Value": true,
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.dnsCacheEntries": {
       "Value": 0,
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.dns.disableIPv6": {
       "Value": true,
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words": {
       "Value": true,
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "keyword.enabled": {
       "Value": false,
       "Status": "locked"
     }
   }
 }

FF now won't access facebook or amazon websites. FF worked yesterday but wouldn't access either site today. Both Google and MS Edge access both sites. I have cleared cash and reinstalled FF with no luck. Help Please

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.

Several times now I've closed firefox while having the open previous windows and tabs on startup on only for all my tabs to have been closed (with this time in particular being annoying due to losing tabs that I needed to have the specific link for). Is there any way to restore tabs lost in this way?

Hi there I have the problem that my firefox can save any file or download on my other drives since they arent event show as an option. I did a little research and read that by default in linux for security reason was unable to, but asking in the official forum of my distro (cachyos), they can save thing in other drives with no problems.

So i wanted to know why i dont?, my firefox installation is native at installing the dristro and having all perimission but it cant see my drives except the one is installed to (and where my OS is).

The only thing different i actually do is the folder where my current user info is saved, i moved the files from my user but with the files i had from my old windows session to impor my saved sites, favorites, etc.

Can you help me to be able to save files or images on my other drives?, thank you for time.

After the 145.0 update when I start Firefox both the menu bar and the top bar with the exit icon are missing. This is the first issue I've had since using Firefox when the new revision was in the 20's. Per some quick Support research, I press F 11 twice (NOT once) to restore the screen to include the top bar with exit icon and menu bar with my Windows task bar showing (as normal for the past 2 decades). When I close out Firefox in less than full screen mode and then start up Firefox again, it properly includes both the top bar with exit icon and the menu bar. HOWEVER, if I close Firefox in full screen and then restart, I am missing the top icon bar and menu bar... again. Press F11 twice and the bars are back to square one. HOW DO I FIX THIS SO I DON'T HAVE TO PRESS F11 TWICE ON EVERY STARTUP TO RESTORE MY SCREEN?????? WHY DID YOUR RECENT UPDATE CHANGE MY SCREEN SETTINGS?????

The 2-year-old support page "View synced tabs from other devices" gives 2 methods for syncing all your tabs from one Windoze FF to another. Neither one does anything at all for me now. The "right-click on the device in the sidebar" sounded SO promising, but it does not cause anything at all to happen. And checking the "sync tabs" box does indeed make them all show up in the sidebar list, but does not open anything. So besides clicking on each of the hundreds of tabs listed, how can I do this, or is it just another FF functionality lost to time?

These 2 web sites worked fine last night.

Today ebay.com connects, but picutres on the site are blank spaces.

Gunbroker.com won't connect, it just sputters and sputters.

I entered these 2 sites on Chrome, they came up correctly. Gunbroker.com connected. Ebay came up with all the pictures on the site populated.

My account won't sync my old passwords and browser history. I recently reinstalled windows and when I tried to sign in to my mozilla account my data wasn't there.

I love Firefox for Mac, but, on iPad and iPhone, it's impossible to use extensions such as Winger to save tabs. Too many times, I've lost 100 to 200 tabs at once, and so I switched back on iPad and iPhone to Safari. I never had a problem with Safari's built-in window-tab saver on iPad and iPhone but lost thousands of tabs on Mac, hence my move to Firefox on Mac.

On Firefox on Mac, when I click on Firefox View, I can view tabs from other devices, but there's no way to copy multiple tab links at once (you have to go one by one). If I ever were to shift back to Firefox for iPad and iPhone, does anyone know of a way to easily save 100 to 200 tabs from these devices?

I would rather use Firefox because I can't stand how Safari opens links from outside Safari, forcing the use of some new default window over the named window I already have open. It's so much work to micro-manage this browser.

Thank you kindly and enjoy a super day!

I can't figure out why gmail will not allow me to log in. It tells me that cookies are turned off but I can't even figure out what that means or how to correct it
