Firefox Community Forum

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

I'm on FF 154.0. The power went out here and when it came back and I booted the desktop computer something had changed in FF.

I used to see the active tab as green in the tab bar and yellow for the rest, but now they're all gray until I mouse over the bar and only then does it turn green/yellow.

I struggled with this for many hours trying many //active tab color// solutions I found in searches but nothing got it back to my old behavior.

So as a last resort I tried adding the Firefox Color extension, but when I click Add to Firefox it just turns into a throbber that never changes so it doesn't install. I'm stuck!

Frustrated!!

My spell check generally doesn't work, but occasionally comes back to life, I have tried the about config, and change value to 2, I have tried uploading dictionary, and making sure check as I type is ticked, but the setting on config seems to keep reverting to 1, and I'm sure if I have successfully uploaded a dictionary, I clicked on language pack, Ironically while I'm typing this, my spell check is actively involved.

My desktop Firefox (version 155.0.1) has recently became unable to consistently access the Web site at this Web site this Web site. Chrome successfully accesses the site 100% of the time. Firefox's connection failures are intermittent, unpredictable, and usually go away on their own after varying time intervals (sometimes can't connect for up to 24 hours). I see status messages saying Firefox is trying to connect to the site, but it eventually gives up and times out.

I cleared the Firefox cache, but that had no effect. I don't recall making any significant changes to the Firefox settings lately. Any suggestions on what to look at/try would be greatly appreciated.

(Yes, I know the site doesn't use https: Its protocol is outside my control).

I tried updating Firefox or testing for the crash in Troubleshoot Mode, but it keeps crashing every minutes or so. Here is the report ID bp-67065b07-74d6-417e-b7de-caf500260906

I can't see bookmarks on the RH menu but only on the LH when I click 'manage bookmarks. How do I move the bookmark folders so that they appear on the RH. This happened at the last software update.

How do I make firefox my default browser when using search bar on task bar for windows 11. Although all my settings have the default browser as firefox microsoft, edge is what comes up when I use the taskbar search window.

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with website screen responsiveness in Mozilla Firefox. A site that is supposed to be fully responsive and mobile-friendly displays properly on my 24" desktop monitor (photos, alignment, and overall design look fine). However, when opening the exact same URL in Firefox on a 13" laptop screen or a mobile device, the visual design breaks—layouts overlap and images get distorted.

Has anyone encountered this issue in Firefox with certain display scales or viewport media queries? Is there a known fix or setting in Firefox (or layout tweak) to resolve this layout breakdown on smaller screens? Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

I’m trying to find the backend email address configured for a website’s contact form using Inspect Element/Developer Tools. I’ve checked the page source and searched through the available HTML, but I’m unable to locate the email address or identify where the form submissions are being sent.

Could someone please guide me on where I should look or which files/settings I should check to find the form’s destination email?

In previous versions of FFox when a file was being downloaded, a file download window opened for each file. Is that feature completely gone or is there still a way to open a window for each file?

I'm only noticing it when using Facebook, but an Internet search says the setting is in my browser. I've now checked my Firefox settings and see nothing about it. Would appreciate help.

After recent Firefox update in v 154, saved passwords do not auto-fill in all websites. Actually, not even the username is loaded. I tried to open in troubleshoot mode and didn't work too. I tried to log out and re-login and fixed for a while only. Then same issue re-occurred. In websites where I have multiple accounts it's too hard to find the proper one. In the Settings > Passwords everything is enabled.

When I select Photos from menu (top right bars), I get Google message that there is a problem with my cookie settings and I need to enable them. I haven't changed them.

This started happening in the past 2 days. I would navigate through a page or a forum to an article or listing that I want to read. when I go to the link, the page goes into reader mode, refreshes rapidly, and usually crashes to a previous screen. It’s been happening on almost every website I go to. In addition, if I press the shift key, the debug window opens and closes. Things I’ve tried:

It’s only Firefox, I don’t get this behavior in chrome, brave, or duckduck I’ve disabled extensions, and tried troubleshooter mode I’ve disabled hardware acceleration I’ve cleared cache I’ve wiped Firefox from my system and did a clean install I’ve wiped Firefox and installed an older version

None of these have worked. I’d like to keep Firefox on my pc because I’ve used it since the beginning. Any help would be appreciated.

We use the Deepl site for translations and it won't load in Firefox without asking the "verify you are human" questions every single time. The Deeple site does not require this authentication in Chrome but we hate Chrome and want to stick with Firefox. We just have the standard security settings in Firefox, only use Windows Firewall and our Express VPN is not switched on; our IP location is showing correctly. Firefox is up to date.

From time to time, sometimes after Firefox updates, I get unintelligible characters on tabs, search bar on Firefox. It gets more frustrating because the issue extends to the Settings menu, so applying the fixes I see on the web is definitely not easy.

I am on macOS, a newer chip and below is what I tried.

Restarting Firefox Checking the library for duplicate font installations. Disabling the extensions Starting Firefox on troubleshoot mode Uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox Uncheck Use recommended performance settings (blindfolded by using the search panel under Firefox Settings) Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available (blindfolded by using the search panel under Firefox Settings)
