I have loaded Firefox on another IMac and when I scan a document I lose the browser. I would like the browser to stay on the desktop so that I can attache the document direct to my email

I've been using You Tube for many years now and a week ago You Tube just stopped the videos. Well I tried and tried different videos and all I get is this message. Video unavailable, this content isn't available. Try again Later and nothing happens. Can you please help me with this. Thank You

I upgraded to Firefox 143.0.4 and lost all of my Bookmarks. How do I find and reload my Default Profile? Also, I cannot load anything in Firefox I am forced to use Edge which I do not like at all!!!!

I have just bought a new computer running the latest version of Win 11pro and the latest version of Firefox is installed. When I click on a mailto link it will not open, I have looked on the internet and as usual the instructions to do this and the you will see this, bear no resemblance to the reality of what I see on the screen and statements such as alter this but it does not say how. This is extremely annoying to this 80 year old non computer literate person especially when the mailto link works on my old computer running Win7 pro with the same email and internet programs installed. I have Edge, Opera and Firefox as internet browsers and use Thunderbird as my email program. Can anybody explain ALL the steps to be taken in plain English to cure this problem please?

Guten Tag zusammen,

ich verwende Firefox 143.04. unter Windows und sortiere Lesezeichen in der Lesezeichen-Symbolleiste als Baumstruktur mit 1-2 Ebenen. Beim Anlegen eines neuen Lesezeichens aus einer geöffneten Seite via [Strg+D] wird es automatisch angelegt und in der Lesezeichenleiste gespeichert. Bis hier ist alles soweit okay, auch wenn ich mir hier einen kurzen Dialog gewünscht hätte.

Wenn dieses neue Lesezeichen per Maus (Drag and Drop) in die Ordnerstruktur eingefügt werden soll, klappt sich der Ordner im Baum auf, sobald man mit dem angefassten Lesezeichen in die Nähe kommt. Gut.

Aber: Wenn mit diesem "am Haken hängenden" Lesezeichen in der Ordnerstruktur nach rechts in die nächste Ebene navigiert wird (Ordner klappen nach rechts auf und zeigen die bereits darin befindlichen Lesezeichen), dann schließt sich diese Ansicht und man muss mit dem Lesezeichen am Haken nochmal von vorne / oben anfangen.

Das ist ultra nervig und die Sensibilität des Programms war früher nicht so filigran eingestellt.

Es gibt sicher auch einen workaround (Lesezeichen-Verwaltung separat öffnen), aber das ändert nichts an dem veränderten Verhalten und ich umständlich. Haben Sie evt. ähnliche Erfahrungen oder Berichte anderer Benutzer? Anbei im Screenshot dargestellt der Weg.

Idee / Wunsch: Können Sie die Empfindlichkeit beim Ziehen von Lesezeichen etwas "entschärfen" oder eine simplere Eingabemöglichkeit implementieren (z.B. jede Ebene durch eine Mausgeste fixieren, sodass die nicht "unter der Nase zugeht")?

Besten Dank vorab.

Für Fragen bin ich gerne offen. Beste Grüße!

Good morning,

I have been experiencing many issue in reopening closed tabs from the history menu after closing firefox. I can click it, but nothing happens. It ends up with me reopening sometimes 30+ tabs manually, which so inconvenient.

Any lead?

Thanks in advance

just recently firefox has been adding pop-up summaries to each address bar open tab .... the summary is a tiny 5 or 6 word pop-up describing what that website is supposed to be doing and the pop-up appears instantly whenever the cursor contacts that tab..........how can i turn that unwanted pop-up feature OFF

dell inspiron 3910 running windows 11

I recently got a new computer running W11. As always, the first thing I did was download Firefox and set it to my default browser. Then I logged in and synced. Firefox picked up some things - like my passwords, but not a single instance of history, not a single bookmark, or the tiles of frequent websites seen on the new tab page. Thinking something had gone wrong, I uninstalled FF and then reinstalled it. No change. As I was researching what to do when FF syncing fails, I realized that FF is not saving any data in history. NONE. I fiddled around with this situation for about five hours and it showed NO history of websites/pages visited. I went to a few common websites by name, typing www.ebay.com into the search bar (for example) and since that was a website I had now "frequented" I expected it to show up as a tile in the new tab page, but it didn't, even after closing it and opening it several more times to demonstrate (to FF) its frequent-ness.

What could be causing all this? I assume some settings in about:config are off, but can't find any information searching the web. No matter how I state the question, I only get responses like what to do if FF doesn't sync, NOT what to do if FF doesn't collect any history. Honestly, this is a standalone private home computer. It doesn't actually HAVE to sync with work. But it's not very useful to have a browser that collects NO history.

Sorry this is so long, and may I say, any help will be seriously appreciated.

How can I bring my bookmark toolbar back? It is on my Eset firefox page, but not on my firefox page. I'm running out of ways to get my bookmark pages back. Yes, I updated to Windows 11, now, I'm thinking that was a bad mistake. Help??? Thank you. Linda

On my windows 11 machine, Firefox requires me to re-log into my Mozilla account every few days (there is a yellow triangle on the Account extension, which when clicked, has me to log into my Mozilla account). I have tried several troubleshooting steps:

1) Create a new profile and set it as the default profile 2) Completely uninstall and reinstall Firefox using the steps in the following article, including removing user data. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer

I'm using Firefox on a Mac and my iPhone and I don't experience this issue. I am logged into my account on both devices.

Thanks,

Paolo

I have WhatsApp Web pinned as a tab in Firefox, and other than that I also have a home page. Normally when I launched Firefox, only one window would open and it would have both the pinned whatsapp tab and the homepage in another tab.

Since today, now when I launch Firefox it opens two separate windows. One window only contains the pinned WhatsApp Web tab, and the other window contains the home page.

How can I make it so that when I launch Firefox only one window opens that contains both tabs? Please don't tell me this option has been inadvertently removed.... Thanks.

I can't open https://english.ahram.org.eg and https://gate.ahram.org.eg/ Someone knows why? Maybe it has something to do with the last update. I think I could open them some time ago. Thanks!

Hello,

we are currently experiencing high memory usage issues with Firefox on our terminal servers.

Problem description: All employees work within a terminal server environment. When using web applications such as Vimcar (https://fleet.vimcar.com) in Firefox, we observe a very high RAM consumption. A single Firefox tab can consume 2 GB of RAM or more after being open for several hours. As a result, the terminal server becomes slow or unresponsive, and other users on the same server are affected. Since the terminal server allocates resources on demand, a hanging process continues to request memory until it eventually terminates itself, which severely impacts overall system performance.

Questions: 1. Are there settings or configuration options to reduce Firefox’s memory usage in terminal server environments? 2. Are there recommended best practices for running Firefox with memory-intensive web applications on terminal servers? 3. Is it possible to set memory limits per tab or per user session to improve stability?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

I have attached a snip of my Firefox GUI.

Glaring white backgrounds in webpage GUIs are, simply, a Pain in the Eyes! I like to get rid of them and I have done for the webpage text background you can see in the image. Now, what I would like to be able to do is to set the same colour as the text background in the URL window and the Bookmarks window.

Is this possible? How is it done?

Thanks
