Firefox Community Forum

hi, i cant find an option to dismiss the new sidebar. it's pointless and i can switch all the buttons off, but now there is just an empty space at the side of my browser. very annoying. i hate the AI integration and i will not be recommending this browser to anyone in the future because of it. I have spent years convincing others to make the switch to firefox, but what's the point if it ends up just as toxic and useless as every other browser. disappointing.

Dear Firefox team, I have one question only.

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? Can you STOP bombarding me with the notifications? This is MY DESKTOP, this is MY PC, I DON'T NEED this shit.

For anyone who would like to help:

No, there's no such option in settings. No, removing updater physically does not stop pop-ups. No, there's nothing in about:config to shut up the updates.

For Firefox team:

No, your updates ruin the browser, more and more, I think I'm about to switch to Pale Moon instead.

When I run a Google search or any search engine, the results show a 2 line of UPSIDE down text ( Russian ? ) on top of each result. The page description underneath is the right way up and in english. Any ideas on how to fix this please ? SEE attached image.

I have a 4k monitor, with Windows scaling set to 150% to make text readable. On firefox the text is still very small - I think it is not scaling according to the monitor setting. I also think this issue only started recently?

All other apps show the text at the scaled size on that monitor. Firefox seems to be the odd one out. Screenshot attached with another app to show the difference.

For starters, tel me what the sentence means when this is my private PC.

I was looking at my bookmark folders and only half of my folders show and one of those folders shows "empty". An additional 4 or 5 folders do not even show since I started this message.

why wont firefox import the correct bookmarks from chrome? Its a simple question that has NO answer in any help file. So it means that the Sync feature is faulty and doesn't work properly. And like Chromes memory bleed No one will attempt to fix it.

I hope that I chose the right Category. Issues as per Title. They have all disappeared when I signed back in. Syncing appears ok. When I open the Extensions Folder near Profiles, it's empty? Have a FF 32 digit Recovery Key. Good for anything?

Usually I login to my account on a public PC and when I finish my work, I log out and erase all data. From some build it doesn't fully erase the history, meaning it reloads my tabs when another person opens Firefox.

How to disable the Enterprise Roots preference-have tried everything I can find on this issue. In summary, deleting certificate via reg edit but this does not work, have to delete certificate every time I re start windows 11 desk top pc.

Any other advice? Thanks

Hi. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla site above however this does not work. The Enterprise Roots keep reloading after a while.

Any idea how to stop this happening?

I have read many articles on this but nothing works. The E Roots will in initially not reload but eventually after a day or three its back.

Many thanks

I recently purchased a new computer, transferred everything over and everything seemed to going fine until tonight. I accidentally exited Firefox and when I started it again, everything was gone. I closed and tried again, same results. Not only were all open tabs gone, but so was may History. I just someone from the Geek Squad spend over 2 hours working on this, but same results. This setup has worked for years, what did I do wrong?

Firefox 139.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11

I occasionally increase the zoom level of websites (usually forums) with Ctrl+mouse wheel if the default text size is too small. However, if I forget to set them back to 100% (Ctrl+0) before closing the tab, the next time I open that URL, it's at the former adjusted zoom level -- not 100%. Really annoying.

How do I force Firefox to open all URLs at 100% regardless of the last custom zoom level? I have default zoom already set to 100% in Settings and Zoom Text Only is not enabled.

Thanks.
