Firefox is no longer saving all my history. OR, I can't find it. I can't find it because: HISTORY/SHOW ALL HISTORY is now only showing "today". This occurred with v133, but I do not know if it occurred with any given update. I updated to 134.0.1. That did not fix problem. I have not tried regressing.

In the past, I was able to save YEARS of history (although I sometimes created a new profile to restart the history file due to its size).

1. I was using the "DYNAMIC HISTORY" addon, which worked fine for years. When I found Firefox was showing only the current days' history, I disabled that addon. Didn't fix anything.

2. "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option IS NOT SELECTED. NEVER HAS BEEN

3. OTHER SETTINGS: no - Always use private browsing mode yes - Remember browsing and download history yes - Remember search and form history NO - Clear history when Firefox closes

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am also baffled: googling this problem comes up empty handed.

Recently, my bank's bill pay program was updated. Ever since then, I haven't been able to get in to make changes using my original browser (Google), so today I tried to get in using Firefox. It worked properly while I still had my computer person available. However, when I tried to get back in to the bill pay part, it says I can't because I'm not using the browser I used to to set it up. That one won't let me in! How can I fix this? I get this message:

"Firefox Can’t Open This Page

when using a Fido2 security key Firefox browser requests a "security pin" to continue logging on to other website. I don't recall setting a pin. How to change or delete the pin issue?

When I press a hotkey that involves Ctrl (ie. opening a new Tab via Ctrl+T or closing one via Ctrl+W) Ctrl sometimes remains stuck until I press it again. This will cause issues ie. when I open a new tab and try to type a new address (or search term), and Ctrl causes new hotkeys to be executed.

I've even tried launching firefox with a new profile, and on safe mode (firefox --safe-mode -p <something-else-than-usual>), so no bookmarks, cookies or extensions should be causing this, and it will still happen sometimes. The annoying part is that this seems to be an issue with performance. It happens less-often with the empty profile and safe mode, but it still happens, especially if I had just opened a new page some tab, causing the most minute thing for firefox to process.

The problem is probably not the computer specs either (below my specs). Indeed, from what I can tell, firefox does not even seem to function particularily slow in any case. Just this ctrl being stuck seems to happen.

I have also tried disabling hardware-acceleration (and explicitly enabling it), no effect.

Other interesting facts I've discovered: - This for sure does not happen in other programs and - This does not happen with the Ctrl for all the keybinds within firefox. For example, Ctrl+A (for select all) does not trigger this

(I have no idea why it's reporting that I'm using Sway, I'm most certainly only using labwc, maybe labwc just reports sway for some programs for compatibility) I've installed firefox from pacman, and my current version is firefox 134.0.1-1

And finally firefox --full-version Mozilla Firefox 134.0.1 20250113214611 20250113214611

I'm not sure what else I could share at this point

So since today I have an Issue where a ton of Pictures on Firefox turn completely black (see attachments). This happens on basically every Website. I've tried a few things like removing/disabling extensions or changing the Theme however nothing helped. I also have another instance of Firefox installed on another Drive on my PC (completely clean new installation) and there I have the exact same Problem. I tried updating Firefox but that broke it completely on my other Instance and now I can not even open Tabs there anymore.

I was using DuckDuckGo and it failed a connection, now trying to switch to Firefox as my browser. I still get confused about browsers and search engines, but I want to be able to connect to a website that did not function with DuckDuckGo, all of a sudden and for no reason I could figure out. I have Microsoft 365 Windows 11 (I think) on 1 laptop and Windows 10 on another laptop; I am trying to use the newer laptop with Windows 11 but not totally switched over.

I am trying to sync my Firefox on a Windows 10 PC with Firefox on a Windows 10 laptop. On the PC, I have 43 tabs open. When I sync the PC and laptop, not all tabs are shown on the laptop. Both have "open tabs" checked in the sync settings. If I look at the sidebar on the PC, showing the "synced tabs," only 20 tabs are listed. This explains why the other 23 tabs are not synced. But why aren't they synced? I can't find anything telling me there is a limit on the number of tabs that are synced, or how I can elect which tabs to sync. If I look in the sidebar at "history," it does show searches on both the PC and laptop that were made on the PC and are shown in tabs on the PC that aren't synced. Can I have the sidebar display all tabs, and not just the synced tabs?

Firefox just updated. Now when I go to a website, right-click a link, and choose open in a new tab or window,it does nothing. If I left-click the link I can get to it in the same window, but when I go back to the originating page, it seldom takes me to back to where I started (which is why I prefer to open a new tab.)

The right-click menu itself looks wonky: There's blank spaces at the top, far too many options appearing, most of which are irrelevant to the situation or duplicate options.

This is happening in every site I've tried. For some sites I use this means Firefox is useless.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been unable to open my McAfee True Key in Firefox. I get the following error message: Firefox can’t find the file at moz-extension://ae1ad9a5-b03b-436d-a80c-089f594a3777/pages/dashboard.html#passwords. McAfee says that Firefox is blocking their extension. It works fine in the Microsoft Edge browser. When will I be able to use True Key in Firefox?

I recently had to buy two new laptops. I loaded FF but now I have no bookmarks on the address bar. Ive read many of the support articles but can't find anyway to revert back to the far more useful version (the one that worked before). This is causing many other problems on trying to load Windows 11 on the two and then try to load Firefox.

I saw a notice on this 3rd laptop )that hasn't been downgraded to the latest version) this is the beta version. Frankly. when I found the problem originally I thought I had a virus or Trojan on my system. I need the bookmarks easily accessed since I use them constantly to visit the sites most important to my work.

If this is Beta then you have one very irate user that it simply changed most of Firefox's settings without notice or recourse. So my question is simply this: is there a way to reload FF on these two new units with the vastly superior previous versions? PLEASE give users the original settings so that they can choose which they need.

Recently got this new pc built with an AMD ryzen 5 8500g, 16gb ram 5200mhz if that matters. While using firefox, the browser itself would stop responding and crash or sometimes just hang. I reinstalled firefox and it fixed the crashing and hanging, however a couple of hours ago while playing a browser game the computer reset itself completely Is there any way this can be fixed? I've tried some methods but i'm willing to try them again

My firefox automatically updated on January 14th. Since the update, it opens with the tool bar above/off the screen, the left side off the screen, and it doesn't allow me to scroll. If I go the the firefox icon at the bottom of the screen and click close window, I can sometimes get it to re-open normally and then leave it open for the balance of the day. I am running windows 11. My wife and I are have the same issue right after the update. Is there a fix on the way or a setting I can change to fix this.

Not as important but I want to get away from all things google. Right now my firefox is tied to a gmail account. To be void of google, do I need to completely take firefox off my computer and re-install with a new email account or can I transfer the account to a new email?

Appreciate your time Thanks so much for your help.

I'm trying to use a script which requires a question mark after the "dot com." I.e., if the url should be http://www.URL.com?custom_URL, it changes it to http://www.URL.com/?custom_URL. How to I keep it from changing the URL - and what is the point of jamming that slash in there in the first place?

This is my second attempt at getting an answer. Can't anyone help me with this?
