Firefox Community Forum

I cannot find where the settings to adjust audio is. Everything plays perfect outside of FireFox, what I play from FF does not, the volume is so low I cannot hear it, even with the headset.

This changed with the recent updates.

What am I missing? I went through all the settings, there is nothing that allows me to make any adjustments. And yes, the volume is full level.

Getting frustrated. I have run all the tests, check external/laptop settings etc. It is just an issue with FireFox.

Thank you.

Before I get to the heart of the matter I need to clarify something. My browser have updated to the new version two days ago. When I open it yesterday it did not restore my session, I checked resently closed windows but it was clean. I looked on the forums and found out that I can use old copies of the session to restore it, unfortunately the "previous.jsonlz4" had already been overwritten, but I found three upgrade.jsonlz4 which may be suitable for restoration, I saved it and others files in another folder. It is a list of files that I have saved: 1.previous.jsonlz4 2.recovery.baklz4 3.recovery.jsonlz4 4. upgrade.jsonlz4-2025.... 5. upgrade.jsonlz4-2025.... 6. upgrade.jsonlz4-2025.... Then the forum said that I need to select one of the appropriate files, rename it to sessionstore.jsonlz4 and replace the old one. The problem is that I can't find sessionstore.jsonlz4. It was said that it appears after closing the browser, but I couldn't find it. Now after this introduction I can move on to my questions. Is it possible that this file is now called differently and this method of recovery can still be implemented? And are there other ways to restore the session? I would be very grateful for help.

Good day, The issues that I am encountering are explained below. The solution found after hours of research is uBlock Origin : https://ublockorigin.com/. Do you know which filters and rules should be applied to exclude the Wikimedia Foundation and all of its derivatives from the results provided by my search engine? Please share your knowledge. Sincerely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am utilizing Firefox ESR 128.10 desktop version on the Linux operating system. I wish to conduct research on the internet, utilizing the Startpage search engine. I would like to exclude the following sites from my search results: wikipedia.org, the Wikimedia Foundation, and any affiliated websites, regardless of the language or location settings configured.

What is the correct approach to establish a customized Startpage search profile excluding all Wikimedia Foundation sites? What is the proper setting to create a persistent and customized search engine configuration that excludes all Wikimedia Foundation domains even after an operating system update or reinstallation? Is it permitted to manually manage a customized search engine?

I have been advised to utilize an add-on or create a dedicated profile.

What would be the most suitable solution in my case, and the one that will be the most effective and stable ?

It is unfortunate that mozilla-firefox does not appear to offer a 'blacklist' or exclusion list feature, as that would be the most direct approach to excluding the Wikimedia Foundation websites from the search results.

I thank you kindly for all of your suggestions and responses to come. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How to remove unlinked labels from bookmark organization ?

Deleting accumulated labels for deleted bookmarks

Good day,

I organize my bookmarks progressively, categorizing them by folders and labels. The labels are stored (libraries - above all the bookmarks) within their respective folder "labels". I deleted some bookmarks a few days ago and noticed that I am unable to delete the labels which have accumulated and been automatically recorded in the "Labels" folder.

How can I delete these numerous labels that are no longer linked to any bookmarks ?

Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

Hallo zusammen, ich benötige dringend Unterstützung bezüglich des Standardprofils in Firefox. Bei einigen Mitarbeitern wird jeden Tag nach dem Neustart das Neuanlegen des Profils verlangt. Ich habe die alten Profile über about:profiles gelöscht und neue angelegt. Firefox habe ich auch deinstalliert und neu installiert, aber das brachte keine Lösung. Am nächsten Tag ist das Profil wieder defekt und es erscheint folgende Nachricht:

You've launched an older version of Firefox

Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox.

Exit Create New Profile

Wir benutzen die aktuellste Firefox-Version 113 und setzen keine Roaming-Profile ein. Es handelt sich um eine Domänenumgebung, in der mit GPOs gearbeitet wird, jedoch ohne spezifische Einstellungen für Firefox. Hat jemand mehr Erfahrung und weiß, woran es liegen könnte? Vielen Dank an alle!

As the subject says, is there anyway to hide the horizonal top bar, when using vertical tabs? The update works fine on Windows, but my extensions and the URL-bar are always visible on Mac, despite the URL-bar hiding on Windows, and the extensions moving to the sidepanel on Windows too. The update is kind of pointless, if I just end up having bars on both the side and the top.

Hello,

I'm facing a two-fold problem:

1. Firefox (138.0.4, 64-bits): when trying to open a website the URL is loaded in the FF-tab, but the screen stays empty

2. Thunderbird (128.10.0esr, 64-bits): downloading messages isn't possible anymore. When sending a message I get following error message (in Dutch):

Verzenden van het bericht is mislukt. Er is een fout opgetreden bij het verzenden van e-mail: fout met uitgaande (SMTP-)server. De server antwoordde: Cannot connect to SMTP server 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1:54601), connect error 10061.

Translated to English:

Sending the message failed. An error occurred while sending the email: Outgoing (SMTP) server error. The server responded: Cannot connect to SMTP server 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1:54601), connect error 10061.

I did a ping with following result:

C:\Users\<user>>ping 127.0.0.1

Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:

   Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

   Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

I didn't make any changes to FF and/or TB, and my wild guess is that the necessary Mozilla servers aren't available anymore, due to:

Hello! Today, suddenly, a video player disappeared on the Twitch streaming service (see screenshot), but the stream sound is playing. I tried clearing Firefox data and later reinstalled the browser completely - didn't fix the problem. I installed two versions (115.17.0esr and 115.23.1esr) because I thought the problem was an update. Both versions of the browser have a problem. In another browser, this problem is missing, Twitch is working! Operating system Windows 7 Pro SP1. Can you please tell me how to solve this problem?
