Firefox Community Forum

Hello, Until the weekend, my firefox home screen has a row or bar across the top that had File - Edit - View - Bookmarks - Tools - etc. (see 'firefox' image attached) Now that row is gone (see second screenshot) Can someone tell me how to get it back please? I tried searching for this but, as I have no idea what this row is called, I came up blank. Thanks Chris

After the latest auto update all of my history, tabs/windows, and bookmarks were deleted and I can't recover them. I have tried importing bookmarks and it does not allow me to upload an old data file and I can't restore my previous session. I tried checking both profiles but neither had my information saved and now when I open the about:profiles says "Another copy of Firefox has made changes to profiles. You must restart Firefox before making more changes."

I'm scared to try anything else because I don't want to mess anything up further but I really need my tabs and history back.

I restarted my computer and then reopened firefox and it had updated and I noticed my bookmarks were gone but my windows/tabs were open, so I tried to choose a file on the bookmark backup and nothing was happening so I restarted and after that all my history and tabs were gone and I couldn't restore them.

There is a left side hidden toolbar that has history AI etc pictured below. I removed it on another computer by mistake and can't figure out how to get it back. It is on a Windows 11 machine. Thank you for any help.

Dear Community,

Since more than a month, when firefox was updated, all my bookmarks seem to be gone,which includes a lot of valuable research made over the past few years.

I have tried all suggestions that google give me to restore my bookmarks, but as far as I understand, there are no newer ones since 2019 (nor older ones than 2018) on my computer? That's what I find in a folder called 'bookmarkbackups' with json-files. Separately I also searched for 'json' and '.jsonlz4' and found nothing after 2019. Also I searched for .html, but nothing seemed to contain bookmark directly.

When I go to manage bookmarks > 'import/export' icon in the upper bar, it suggests two options, for 'nov 13 2025', or today's date), of which none provide me with any bookmarks.

Can I somehow still recover my research?

Do I really need to backup manually?

Or need I start saving all URLs in a word-document for my new research project?...

Firefox seems to update regularly, I currently have version 145.01. (I work on a Mac 2021, with Ventura 13.7.8)

I highly appreciate any advice on this matter.

Kind regards, Maria

How do I minimize the web page when I don't see the usual icon at the top of the page. Now, I've attached a screen shot that does not show any icon of other means of minimizing that screen. I'm running Windows 11 and WORD 2021.

The screen appears on Opera and Google Chrome with the icons. Thanks.

Hi Mozilla team! I have a problem which started happening recently, or at least I didn't realize it before. I went through all the articles, tried adjusting density in Customize Toolbar, went through all the settings with systematic approach with ChatGPT, some things in about:config and even tried adding userChrome.css in profile folder but nothing helped.

The problem is that I have PC with dual screen setup, one is 1440p, 125% zoom in windows settings (main) and 1080p, 100% zoom in Windows settings (secondary). When I change both screens to same zoom, everything is fine, but when it's set up like this, on secondary monitor (1080p one) tabs in open browser don't reach top of the screen, in fullscreen mode, that is, I need to move mouse downwards if I want to middle click open new tab or close old one or even simply move between tabs. It's like, it doesn't reach top of the screen for few pixels - it has a ghost gap.

I don't have this problem in any other browser, tried Chrome, Edge... I would like to continue using Mozilla, but this is bothering me. Could you please consider fixing it in some of future releases?

Thank you in advance!

I use Arcgis quite a bit for property info and for the last several months, it either won't fully load or has constant freezes when doing anything. It also freezes other windows I have open and most the time when I shut down those windows and start FireFox again, my home screen (Start Page) won't load? I have to dump history/cookies and sometimes flush dns. I contacted ArcGis and they say it works fine on their end. So I suspect FireFox is the issue.

I downloaded the Opera browser last night and it has no problems with this site. I won't use chrome or edge.

Any help figuring out what's going on? I have changed no settings, no vpn, no private browsing either. It seems with each FireFox update, my issues get worse?

Win 10 on desktop. FF version 145.0.1 the site in question https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ba70b3d86f5e4bbeb7582591f3dde16a/

I've searched other forums and I am not having any luck. If I open 1 Firefox browser then 10-15 open instances will show up under Task Manager. They load automatically. This slows down everything and I have to delete the excess browsers. Would you please offer some advice? Thank you in advance.

One page of my online scheduling software often doesn't load all the way. It's a list of clients, not super-long. It often only loads the first 10-15 names (out of about 80). Eventually this pop-up appears: "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page."

I'm on a Windows 10 desktop with PLENTY of speed/memory. That's not the issue, unless Firefox isn't using the computer optimally.

I've been having tons of issues with Firefox so a few days ago I did a "Refresh." This helped, but obviously didn't fix this particular issue.

Recently returned to Firefox from a detour in Chrome. One thing that Alphabet was doing that I was satisfied with was their password manager. It suggested complex passwords. Is there a similar feature in Firefox?
