Firefox Community Forum

Hi, whoever may read this ...

I asked friendly & helpful volunteer @jscher2000 a couple of days ago about the Strange Case of the Disappearing Bookmarks that suddenly befell me in FF last week.

Last night, the Bookmarks came back - or came back in part, so to speak. ~ ~ There are outstanding problems. I hope these too resolve themselves or can be resolved in the near future, as it is a bit debilitating.

So, what are my current issues/problems with Bkmrks in FF?

1) Can't search my Bookmarks any more.

I enter a search term in the Bkmrks Search box (whether all Bookmarks or a defined subsection/folder I have made) - never a response but blank (though I know that term is among bookmarks somewhere) - and then, the content list of that sub-folder of my Bookmarks even goes blank when I search there. (That content list returns when I click on another folder and back to that one, but that's not much consolation.)

2) Problem adding any new Bookmarks.

Though the "Bookmarks Star" lights up when I try to add a new Bkmrk - suggesting it has been saved - the new saves are nowhere visible among "Bookmarks". Not under the folder I chose to save them to (or tried), nor anywhere else I can see under Bookmarks, such as in the general folder.

3) Can't even Export Bookmarks any more - as html or in any other format.

I go to Manage Bookmarks, etc., and click "Export as html" ,,, nothing happens. There is no trace of an exported html or other file at the location where I decided to save the file.

(To explain what may be obvious: the point of the (attempted) Exportation on this occasion is to (try to) investigate, access the saved Bookmarks, retrieve the sites, etc.)

Can anyone help - or maybe offer solace that FF might fix itself or be fixed in the near future? Like I said, it's a bit debilitating for work, research and entertainment alike.

I should perhaps add that I prefer to use a laptop (HP) where possible.

Best wishes

I've noticed that Youtube videos on Firefox are far more washed out when compared to Google Chrome. HDR is enabled on my Monitor and in Windows 11; however, the issue is present for standard SDR videos as well. Any idea what is going on here?

I can no longer use Firefox to access my banks website. I am told they have broken ties with Firefox. In the past, at times that website would exhibit odd behavior, sometimes attributed to the use of Firefox.

Firefox seems to have issues with various sites, particularly for me in the way of display irregularities.

I'm curious as to why.

Firefox crashes whenever it would need access to my camera or microphone. So far it has only happened whn trying to access a Roll20 game with camera and microphone connectivity, and when trying to access a video appointment for Universal Credit. It never happened on Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 it happens every time without fail, and the crash is immediate.

I love Firefox and generally really appreciate the way y'all operate as a company and developer.

However, I really don't like this new function to add tabs to a group. Since it rolled out, I'm always adding tabs into groups when I don't mean to. Really, it's creating a group almost every time I move a tab around. If I delete the group, it's just more clicks and distractions to deal with.

In the past, when you've rolled out new features like this, you've also made it very easy to turn off any new feature we don't like. But I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help.

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at mesp.finance.gov.bd.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

I just purchased 1Password because I need a password manager. I like Firefox and want to continue using it as my browser. My operating system is Windows 11 on a new Dell laptop.

But when I try to use the 1Password icon in the browser to save login information, I get only 3 choices: monitor, relay, and Firefox VPN. None works for 1Password.

I am very frustrated about this and hope my fellow Firefoxers can help me. I am disappointed Firefox offers no tech support.

I don't know about you, but I loathe the recent push by the majority of tech companies to integrate the wasteful and environmentally harmful technology that is Generative AI into every corner of the digital landscape. I am especially disappointed in Firefox following the Gen AI hype and inserting it into our experiences as a default without considering the massive amount of users who are not interested in this tech for morons, those who want nothing to do with said tech, or people like myself who f***ing hate it. I am aware that you can shut off AI features by using Firefox's advanced configuration, so I'm wondering if such an option already exists for this coming rollout feature.

I for one believe Firefox should give its users the option to preemptively opt out of rollout features for things involving Gen AI which many, like me, are in vocal opposition against.

Since this week's update of Firefox Developer edition when the browser is restarted tabs do not load until I reset the browser.

I suspect an add-on but have not been able to determine which one.

This is happening on multiple (3) physical computers.

I just started a new work role and haven't been able to find the time to troubleshooting of the issue myself.

This has been very disrupting and stressful.

How can I unsync desktop from laptop bookmarks?

Selected update Mozilla to Windows 11 yesterday on desktop and am now seeing two sets of bookmarks on both devices. Laptop bookmarks were originally separate from desktop. Laptop is mine and desktop is my wifes. Did not know that it would auto sync both devices.

Is it possible to unsync/separate?

Thanks
