Firefox Community Forum

I have signed into my Firefox account on my parents computer in order to see my bookmarks & have saved passwords, etc easily found, signed into & used. Sync is off but after I sign out bookmarks & password still on this computer. I don't want to remove these bookmarks & passwords from my Firefox account on my home desktop or my phone - just from this one computer. Research I found say a Firefox account not for this "function" - but now that I've done it is there NO way to remove it & not have to start from scratch & thus lose all the saved data, extensions, etc.???

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me here. I use Google Fi to make and receive calls from my browser. I accidentally denied microphone permissions to Google Fi from the Firefox dropdown prompt and I cannot find how to get it back.

When I click the dropdown menu, I see no options to enable or disable permissions. I also do not see anything listed in the Security settings of the browser. When I check the google fi settings, I see it complaining about denied permissions though.

I've attached screenshots. Does anyone know where I can revoke the blocked permissions?

Thanks,

I use FF on a 2012 PC running Windows10. I was going to replace the computer, but a tech shop nearby has recommended (without seeing my computer) updating the hardware within. I have a lot of passwords stored in FF, and I should like some advice regarding protecting privacy by saving them and reusing them on the refurbished computer. Any other comments about refurbishing as opposed to replacing would be welcome.

I use private browsing mode exclusively. For years I've used Tools > Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Data > Clear > Clear Now to clear the history, cache, cookies and so on during a session without having to close the browser, or so I thought. However, yesterday I ran into a situation (dealing with tech support for software) where it became painfully obvious that that process was NOT clearing out the history. So, a couple of questions:

1. Why, why, does it take 6 clicks to do that, instead of, say, just one click on a button on the toolbar?

2. Why didn't that clear out everything?

3. Where can I look to see whether all that stuff is cleared?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a couple of websites now where the Cookie acceptance window/pop up, displays for 1 second then disappears. This effectively leaves the page slightly dimmed and locked. I've tried the URLs in Chrome and the Cookie window display correctly and allows for user selection.

I have tried to add an exception for the URL for pop-ups, and then disabling pop-up blocking completely, but I still have the problem.

Thanks, Nick.

I can no longer log in to Facebook without this type of message popping up: "Your request could not be processed." These messages do not look like they come from Facebook. When I "X" out of the messages, the page looks fine, but I'm not taking chances to log in with this sketchy situation. I have deleted cookies, etc. multiple times, even though I have Firefox set to delete cookies upon closing.

No problems on my other browser...except that I don't want to use that browser. I want to use Firefox with Facebook like I have for almost a decade.

Nord VPN not recognizing that Firefox is on version 130. It keeps thinking that I am on version 128. I have Nord techs telling me what to do with their app but nothing I have done, even a complete new install of Nord, is fix ing the problem. They have suggested I get in touch with Firefox so here I am. OS Win10 home. It is also happening on my lap top with Win 11

Please send a reply to [edited from public] I tried to tick the box to get an email but it is not or appears to not be working.

After a clean install the master password dialog box reappeared. It would be quite helpful of Mozlilla to explain how to make this go away. The alternative is to never use FF on my desktop.

Hello,

I could really use some help with with setting up integrated, connected, and secure products across all devices and all accounts. I've somehow got various products and applications blocking and preventing other applications from working. I am not really sure what's going on as I am newer to these types of services. Any help is greatly appreciated, so thank you in advance.

Thanks, Josh

I am so frustrated with trying to find out how to clear cookies and cache. I googled it and it has a simple step by step process, or so it seemed. When I went to website, looking for the 3 vertical lines, there were none. I have looked and looked. Can someone call me to walk me through this process? thanks

The latest version of Firefox desktop has changed the "custom history" settings lumping forms and history with browsing history and downloads history. Before these were all separate options which was much more useful. How can I get the old menu back?

I don't want to just untick the higher menu "remember search and form history" as I want firefox to remember form and search history during a session - I often have firefox open for several hours at a time. But I do want to know when I close firefox that it will purge form history, but keep browsing and download history.

I am receiving a high level security issue with Firefox on Windows, version 131.0.3. An upgrade was installed this morning to version 132.0. I would like to continue using Firefox but must be assured that version 132.0 fixed this security risk.

Firefox is not detecting my location correctly. I am in living in Idaho, NOT living in Utah and never have lived in Utah. For some reason you detect my location in error.

I am unable to change my Firefox primary email address from vs@it.uu.se (old and now invalid)) to sssbirdy@gmail.com
