Forum communautaire Firefox

Hello There,

Since your upgrade to the new version of 154, Having a huge problems. Couldn't log in to various accounts. The most problematic one is to getting in Costco, Etsy and Ebay. Etsy and Ebay has been fixed after a week but Costco one is not. We can't log in and if it allows somehow to login then can't check out. It sits there and comes back to the same page. Won't move forward to the payment page at all. To make it from bad, worse to worst - this morning my wife uninstalled the Firefox and installed it back. That's where all the problems started. Now we lost all the "bookmark tabs, login and everything". We are exhausted and very angry. There's no help line to pick up the phone and get a quick help. So please send a suggestion list to recover the old version or at least all the old bookmark and log in from last 20 years. It'll be highly and hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Michael

P.S: We are also very old folks. Do know much about IT, so please educate and or guide as like a 10 years old.

I no longer need a VPN service, and I would like to cancel my subscription! Your service did a wonderful job protecting my computer, and what I do online! Thank you!

before i used top tab out of my browser and my theme i downloaded for the theme section on the browser addons would stay but now every time i do it gose to a horrible blue theme instead how do i fix this to keep my normal theme when im tabbed out please and thanks i stream to i use this to keep chat open and when i tab out to game it goes horrible blue which never used to happen i dont like this and dont want it so someone please help me resolve the issue.

In a Private tab in strict mode (on Linux), I log into my Google account, then log out, clear all the cookies and cached data (Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> tick all the boxes and clear everything), open a new private tab, go to the gmail website and it still remembers my account. However, if I quit Firefox and re-open it, then Google no longer remembers the account.

What information is deleted when I quit Firefox that is not deleted when I manually clear the cookies/cache/local data? Does anyone know why Google can still remember my account when I manually clear all the browsing data but not after I quit Firefox?

Thank you!

When Firefox opens, I sign in to my email address and when that page opens - it says at very top of screen that Firefox is not responding and stays that way. Refreshed, restarted, pressed delete cache and nothing will correct this. No issue for years until last week so please fix or advise how to do so. Thanks. Herb [redacted email from public]

I keep having problems with Firefox hanging or disconnecting. I have followed all the steps in the [Hanging] page, and I still have to shut it down and restart it often, sometimes as much as several times a day. I also frequently have to force quit the browser, or I get a message saying "Firefox is open, but not responding" when I try to restart it.

Please can you (a) add to menus, or create a button, so users can see the tab groups they have created and (b) prevent upgrades to Firefox from deleting a user's tab groups.

I believe that Firefox had a recent update which was auto implemented after-which my entire collection of saved passwords disappeared off of my Desktop computer. Over the next couple or more weeks I reconstructed many of the passwords and was heading back to normal. Today, for unknown reason my entire collection of saved passwords have again been erased and I do not know how and assume they are not recoverable so am back to square one. On my home computer I have it set to not allow auto updates and have a Firefox update waiting and hesitate to allow it, expecting the same result there to my saved passwords. Nothing significant has been done to or with my computer in this same time period so am at a loss as to why this happened not just once but now twice with cause unknown (I am unaware of any second Firefox update in the interim which could have caused this but cannot rule this out).

Good evening.

I leave my windows and tabs open and turn off my computer by clicking the shut down button on Windows 10. The next day I open Firefox and all my windows and tabs come back with no problem. I've been doing this for a few years and I gathered dozens of Firefox windows and hundreds of tabs. Now that I'm finally ready to organize what I've been putting off I noticed that most of these old tabs disappeared in a very weird way. When I open Firefox it still opens all windows from these past years but it loads most older windows with a single tab and these single tabs are all in the New Tab state. I'm sure that these used to be unique tabs with content in them and not New Tabs and I'm also sure that these windows had many tabs each and not just one.

The tabs have the name "New Tab" on the tabs bar and they're gray and empty, which is what I set all my new tabs to be, so they're regular New Tabs aside from the being lighter gray than a true new tab page. Refreshing and F5 have no effect. I can't go back a page or forward because the arrows are grayed out. I can't figure out what these tabs used to be by browsing my history because they've been added to the pile sporadically over the years and are mixed with other web pages, most of which I don't want to open again, so searching for all of them would be too hard. Tab groups that only contained these "New Tab'd" tabs have also disappeared and can't be found on the tab groups list menu. If I go to "View recent browsing across windows and devices" and then "Open tabs" these tabs are shown as "New Tab" and if I click the three dots menu and select "Copy link" it copies "about:blank".

Though this is not the most specific fix, I went to Firefox>Profiles>(Profile name)>sessionstore-backups and (after making a backup) deleted all files from there except for the one with the oldest modified date. I did this with Firefox closed and then I opened it and a few of my old "New Tab" windows became real windows again with multiple tabs inside. Curiously, the recovered windows and tabs were not the most recent ones that were affected by this problem and most windows are still lost in the New Tab state.

I think Firefox has been failing to restore older parts of my session but only kind of because it still recognizes the total number of windows I had but then it opens many of them with no content (a single New Tab) and no memory (arrows grayed out).

I've always updated Firefox throughout the years and I don't know when the problem started happening, it might have started months ago and I just didn't notice because I stored the tabs and didn't look at them again until now. I also noticed that windows that were in my most recent and most used desktop instance were fine while windows in my "storage" desktops were more likely to get "new tabbed", but maybe it's unrelated to desktop environments and only related to how recent windows are and most of my newer windows are in the newest desktop, but I can't know for sure because sometimes some windows move around desktops after a PC shutdown so it's impossible to know if windows are sorted between desktops 100% by age, I think it's a Windows 10 problem. Also there have been some forceful PC shutdowns over the months due to power outages, and I have removed my drive and used a different drive with a different OS a few times, always switching with the PC turned off.

Does anyone know how to get Firefox to remember my full session and find out what these fake new tabs used to be? If not, is there a way I can restore my session to a state that it was previously like months ago? I would need something more powerful than the sessionstore-backups folder because it only helps me roll back a few weeks. I have backups from the bookmarks windows (ctrl+shift+O) but I don't think they save active open tabs. Just curious, do they save browser history? It wouldn't help me in this case as I mentioned before but it's good to know.

Thanks for your help and sorry if it's overexplained.
