Firefox Community Forum

I asked this about four months ago, and did not get any answer, so I am asking again. Sorry for the repetition.

Here is the problem: when I highlight a short passage of text (~3-4 words), and right-click, the context menu always shows the translation entry as "Translate to Dutch". (See first image.) If I accept that, the input language is assumed to be English, so I actually have to change both drop-downs. (See second image.)

If the passage is long enough (> ~4-5 words), the context menu will show "Translate to English", which is what I want, and as an aside, Firefox is almost always correct in detecting the input language.

I can understand it being hard to detect the input language from a short phrase, but why does the output language default to Dutch? And is there a way to change this behavior?

Thanks.

Two days ago I closed FF and went to bed. I opened it the next morning and lost about 20 tabs. Ever since then, every time I restart FF, I lose all tabs except for one default tab.

TLDR: 1. "restore previous session" is not available. 2. Toggling Settings/Home and Startup does nothing. 3. Update? My FF automatically updates. 4. "about:sessionrestore" finds nothing,

1. FF help said I could go into History and click "Restore Previous Session" but that option doesn't exist. All I can do is look at History and see lists for today, yesterday, last 7 days etc.

2. Another advisory suggested Settings, Home and Startup, select "Open previous windows and tabs". but it was already selected. So I switched it off, restarted FF and then switched it back on. I still lose all tabs every time I restart FF.

3. Another advisory suggested, checking for updates. My FF automatically updates.

4. I tried "about:sessionrestore" It returns with the heading: "Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back." Restore session is greyed out and "View previous tabs" produces an empty list. I've tried it a few times now, identical result.

Thanks for any help. Cheers, Andrew

How do I recover the normal additional toolbar in firefox that shows options for maps, images, videos etc. This toolbar is no longer shown on firefox - perhaps it's because firefox has recently been updated and no longer gives that facility?

I can't find how to have the icon for my OneTab add-on showing in the toolbar, like in the directions for how to use it. I just upgraded the OS on my laptop to Kubuntu 26.04, and when I synced my Firefox account to this new system it opened to the OneTab page where I was prompted to set up this app which was installed but hadn't been used.

1. Most of my stored passwords in Fire Fox "Passwords" do not work anymore. They do not fill in user name and passwords. They are correctly listed in Passwords and the user names and passwords are correct and can be seen and copied. Also the function "Search in Settings" is not working. It cannot find anything, stuff that clearly exists produces no answers.# Numbered list item

After updating to version 158.0 of Firefox for iOS, absolutely no images load within the app. My iOS version is 26.4.1, and I am not able to update my iOS version to anything newer.

I receive two daily newspapers. For each, I added the emails to the acceptance list so when I get the email, I open it and click on the box, "read today's email." One works perfectly. The other one doesn't. It was working and with the recent updates, it has stopped working. Every time I click on "read today's paper," I get the sign-in box. Why is this happening and what can I do or Firefox do to correct this problem? I added the paper to the exception box (manage exceptions and cookies) but doesn't seem to make a difference. I have added two different options for the paper, but neither seems to produce the automatic sign-in. I wrote to the tech director of the newspaper several times. The first time she fixed it then an update set me back to square one. The second time she recommended putting the info into the exceptions and cookies. I did and it worked until this most recent update. Now, nothing seems to work and I have stopped the protection guard on the browser window. What are or is a solution? Thank you.

At first deployment of multiple profiles in early 2026, my use was really intuitive and I was able to understand the FAQ and Community notes. Early October, the releases started to implement some refinements. I am not understanding these refinements and while I am seeing the error message (attached), I am not understanding what the fix is to use my additional profiles (two), int the past month, I have not found a way to get to my two additional profiles.

My environment: Windows 11 Pro - Firefox 158.0 (64 bit) I have Profiles "Original" and two others. I have one single Mozilla account. I copied my two profiles from original and had made great progress culling the profile passwords and bookmarks, I have only been syncing my original profile two my two cellphones. 95% of my use is from desktop Firefox.

Attached is a well documented result error but I am not locating how to get to the profiles I had created from the attached error message.

Hello. I am back again with the same issue that I presented on the forum post three months ago. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1594903?utm_campaign=questions-reply The difference is now it is happening on Firefox v157.0.1;everything else is identical. Qubes os R4.3.2 with Firefox 157.0.1 in a Fedora 44 xfce VM. To recap I open one window for Proxmox Datacenter Manager and as soon as I click to sign in Firefox completely disappears. I can open this in Chromium browser and Firefox ESR v.140.17.0 esr perfectly fine. Please consult the original post for all I did to troubleshoot this. I am working with the esr version now but would like to help put this issue to bed. Community members stepped up last time to help me so I am here to do my small part for others. Ask for any info you need and I'll reply ASAP. Thanks in advance. SDS

About 4-6 weeks ago Chase started throwing an error message when I tried to log in. Some other banks, credit agencies, brokerage houses also same thing. The work with Chrome and Edge.

Can Mozilla get past this or do I give up and use a predatory browser?

As much as I hate ads on YouTube I don't want Firefox to block the ads because if they find out you are blocking ads they will block you from Google and YouTube. I have Google pages and other things on their sites that have been there for years. Plus, I feel like I'm stealing a service by not lets the ads run that pays their bills and the content creators on YouTube. Please tell me where in Firefox I can turn the ads back on.

I have used Mozilla products since Netscape Navigator came out in 1995 I think it was. I went to a local internet provider and brought home a 3.5in Diskette and it loaded Netscape Navigator with my info all filled in for email, Usenet, Webpage publishing and a few Bookmarks to get started. I still use SeaMonkey for my email because it still has email addresses from the 1990's. I have Thunderbird for email on my phone. Anyway, thank you for all your work over the years.

I started to try free 50GB a month Firefox VPN to use the website in Japan (free TV programs only available in Japan but are allowed to watch through VPN). It was working for about a month but now it seems to be blocked. I tried suggested troubleshooting like clearing cash, quitting and opening Firefox, closing VPN, changing location setting and back to Japan etc. Is it because free? It was working when I was subscribing NordVPN. So, it's not the website issue. I would like to know why it is not working now. Thank you
