Firefox Community Forum

Hi, Since the last update for Mozilla on the laptop (updated on 6/Oct/2025 - version 143.0.4 (64-bit)), all the shortcuts to websites in Firefox homepage I had pinned have disappeared. Also I can't add new shortcuts. I already have shortcuts enabled in Settings>Home>Firefox Home Content>Shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Kind regards.

Windows 10, latest version.

I hit a shortcut, I think, and heard the trackpad, then one of the three open tabs was isolated from the rest in a separate, almost chromeless window.

It's not in the taskbar pop-ups but instead has its own icon. In this 'chromeless' window there is no option to add a tab or window, there is no area to move it (I have to carefully use emtpy space in between buttons to move it). The top just fell off, that's basically it.

I have never seen this and have been using Firefox from the start way back when. I didn't install anything; this just happened as I was reading something and accidentally touched a key. Nothing changed, no settings were adjusted, nothing.

This option is not in the tabs menu or anywhere. I must say I kinda like it for this one 'tab' (which is a solo chromeless window) but I do need the menu and so on for productivity.

One of the screenshots shows this 'window', the other shows that 'window' is not part of the regular pop-up tabs in the taskbar but rather has its own icon, as if it were an app, in that taskbar.

What in the world is this? Can someone help?

I have various shortcuts saved on the shortcut page comes up after logging in. Its set to 2 rows.. I use it every day. Used it this morning and working perfectly. Been out and when I came back the page is totally blank. I've tried sytem restore to 5th October but makes no difference. I use Windows 10 and read that Firefox are continuing to support Windows 10 I'm visually impaired and use a desktop PC with a large screen. I'm not PC techically knowledgeable. How do I restore my shortcuts or how do I re create them?

Suddenly, Firefox is not auto-filling my passwords. I am experienced, and have gone over all settings multiple times. It is requiring me to click "manage passwords" and then copy from my saved passwords, and paste in the password, instead of auto-filling.

I opened Firefox this morning and all of my pinned shortcuts have disappeared. Shortcuts are enabled in the settings. I checked the browser.newtabpage.pinned pref on the about:config and all of my pinned shortcuts are still there, but they're not appearing on the actual page itself. Are there any other settings that I'm not aware of?

cannot open or delete emails on google mail and youtube videos will not play. Had this problem a month ago. It's Firefox because I have no problem using MS Edge which I hate.

Nach dem Update vom Oktober kann Firefox nicht mehr auf Deutsch angezeigt werden. Die Umstellung auf Deutsch in den Einstellungen haben keine Wirkung. Was ist zu tun?

Dear Helper,

since the newest Firefox update, i got today (16.09.25), the audible cloudplayer doesnt work anymore, meaning it wont load the audiobook! I emptied the cache, but nothing changed. I tried the audible cloudplayer with Windows Edge and it works fine, so it is a Firefox specific problem. I granted all websides access to audio and media automatic replay, nothing changed. The cloudplayer doesnt work! So my question is: What else is interfering in Firefox with the loading of the player? Thank you so much in advance for your help :) Yours sincerely David

I know the system backs up bookmarks every day or so. I want to migrate all to a new PC. With a new Laptop it seems to have done so automatically, maybe through synchronize feature, I am not sure how I did that . I normally export bookmarks to a external flash drive as HTML. Just did also to a .json file type cannot find how to do that. Which format and method will be best? Have all of the old PC backed up through Acronis full back up. Will that have the full Firefox program with the bookmarks?

After the most recent update on the 17/09 my search bar is permanently stuck blue (screenshot attached). Any idea how to revert this back to the grey it was before.

I really appreciate this amazing new 'unloading' feature. It's just the function I need. However, I can't unload all the tabs I've selected. Only some of them are inactivated, and this problem occurs almost every time I choose a group of tabs.
