Firefox Community Forum

Apparently Firefox did an update (version 136.0.4) in the background while I was using Firefox on March 27. At some point I wanted to save a page to my bookmarks and realized all my bookmarks were missing. I had just used bookmarks earlier, so it had to have been an update. This happened to me before back in January 2025. I was without my bookmarks for several weeks when all of a sudden they showed up again.

I cannot use the instructions to go back to a previous profile, as the two options showing do not have my bookmarks, bookmark toolbar or customized Firefox homepage. I also cannot import my saved bookmarks to get them back. I get an error message when I attempt to do that option.

This is very frustrating, as I use my bookmarks, toolbar and customized homepage EVERY day. I have all my important links saved to bookmarks. Firefox developers need to find out why an update removes bookmarks, as this seems to be an ongoing issue with me. I've used Firefox for over 17+ years and never had bookmarks removed after an update before, so something in an update is causing this issue.

I have no idea at this point IF everything will return to normal in a few weeks like it did back in January. So right now I am without all my bookmarks. Please get this ongoing issue resolved, it's a royal pain. I need those bookmarks to maintain my daily routine for accessing financials, medical websites, etc.

Thanks for any help you can give me at this point. This is the second time it has happened.

The latest Firefox does not load programs that used to work with it. That is, this used to work:

and now locks up the page. It also fails on a daily trivia question. If I run under other browsers (e.g., Opera,) they work fine. This makes me think it's some setting in Firefox. I'm not sure, but I think this started after a Firefox update.

I'm running Win 10 (Home) with 32GB of memory on an i9-12900K running at 3.19GHz

I have came to ask if anyone else has had problems with downloading a mod off of nexusmods.com and if there is a solution I have been having to switch to google chrome which I'd rather not because its so resource intensive on the computer

Hello. Idk how this happened, but my bookmarks have quadrupled. Idk why I bookmark so much, but I had about 40 folders for bookmarks, until I now found I have 160. There's 4 of every folder. How do I clean this up? I know Edge has a "delete duplicate bookmarks" button. But in Firefox, I can only find add-on extensions that claim they can clean out duplicate bookmarks, but having tried 3, I've found none to work. Any suggestions?

Firefox is not letting me access my Windows or Microsoft account. (using WIndows 11) The login popup is asking for School or Work email, which is not applicable to me. I input my usual login information and Microsoft pop-up says account does not exist. When I login to Windows, using a different desktop (Windows 10), I do not have login in issues.

What is the browser setting that needs to be updated.

Neither of the two addons that bring up my Google calendar work anymore. They each bring up some goofy Google "workplace". It says I can log into my calendar, but when I try, it says it's sending me an authorization request, even though the "don't ask again" button is checked. I never get an request on my phone, just a "ding" announcement. Arrrggghhh...

every time I try to log into a google account I get a 400 error message. I deleted all cache and cookies multiple times scoured the help forums and tried all the fixes and I still get a 400 error. please help.

I'm getting so fed up with parts of ebay not working after automatic Firefox updates. Every few months and usually on a Friday morning (this is when Ebay does it weekly tech maintenance) and after a recent Firefox update, something packs the job in on Ebay!. This time it's the listings, ALL of them!. My watchlist page is working fine, I can scroll down and everything is loading, photo's, text etc but, I go to search for an item and it's all over the place, not loading, filter buttons have a mind of their own, slow or non existent listings and filter side bar etc, etc. When I exit Ebay, Firefox won't reload. I have to wait for it to get itself back together, usually a few minutes later. Yet on other browsers it's running fine. I've done everything! (I've had a lot of experience with this issue) I've disabled enhanced tracking, cleared cache etc, uninstalled Ebay and Firefox and re-installed them. It works fine on ipad, phone and other browsers just not Firefox desktop! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? AND WHY SO @@@@@@@ OFTEN!!! I really can't take it any more. for over 15 years I've been fighting with this, I'm tired! PLEASE!!! SOMEONE AT FIREFOX, HELP!!! AT THE VERY LEAST, TALK TO EBAY AND SORT THIS OUT, FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE!

I use to be able to integrate my excel calendar and my wife's. Entries were different colors and changes on my computer showed up on my Ipad. Now I have my calendar but I can't find hers. Does she need to make a change on her excel as well?

Every time I open Firefox recently, and the Yahoo.com web page starts up, I get an annoying prompt from global privacy control, that asks to allow or not allow. IT'S ANNOYING. I went into the settings for that apparent add on feature, that I DIDN'T add, and set all 5 settings to FALSE, but the program still pops up. It ALSO screws up the format of the Firefox web page, and shows the Yahoo News feed totally different and it's also VERY ANNOYING HOW do I totally get rid of the global privacy control? I can select the Firefox settings under security to tell web pages to not sell the info, as far as I know, correct, so I don't need the retarded global add on? ?? I want Firefox news feed like it was before the update. Thank you very much... HOPEFULLY!

I have a typical search bar at the top of the browser window. Recently, as soon as I begin to type a search, the bar expands to cover the whole top of the browser window. How do I stop this from happening? It's unnecessary and irritating. Firefox 133.0, Win 11

I tried to open my Firefox browser, but was unable to. Same thing with my Google chrome browser. I ran the troubleshooter for network problems, but unable to get a solution.

I downloaded a new Firefox browser in the hopes that it would let me access the other browser so I could retrieve all the settings, bookmarks, etc. However, everything disappeared when the new browser was installing.

Is there any way for me to retrieve that information or is it a total loss?
