Firefox-mienskipsfoarum

While I enjoy the capability of selecting a search engine as I see fit, I would prefer that my local drives take precedence. Is there an easy way to enable this for everyday casual use? In other words, can I specify "search local drives first, followed by the web i.e. casting a wider net to search on the world wide web, and an arbitrary third placeholder such as foreign sources (example only) or foreign news items (again, fictitious example)

I recently installed Firefox for security reasons, but I now realize it might be not better than other browsers... I had a (good) number of tabs opened in 12 Simple Tab Groups, which were opening all right everytime I restarted my computer. But today, Firefox opened and oh, all my tabs have disappeared ! All 12 Simple Tab Groups are empty. In the Recently Closed Tabs in History, I only could find and reopen 26 tabs - a very small part of the tabs I had... Please, tell me if there is a solution to recover all my tabs. Is the problem with Firefox or with the Simple Tab extension?

I have HDR working in Proton games and mpv fine (using Plasma 6.4 / Wayland)

I enabled HDR in Firefox (gfx.wayland.hdr), and HDR content works in YouTube fine ( looks amazing!) however.. I have an issue in that all non HDR content doesn’t show any video (I have sound) just a green sceen (see screen shot) including all ads.

Any idea how to work round this ?

I have AMD 7800 GPU .

Problem logging onto Zoho Mail with Firefox.

I have been using both Firefox and Zoho Mail for many years. Now, for some reason, Firefox seems to have a problem completing the Zoho Mail login from the same bookmark I have been using for years, or from a direct URL. The same Firefox installation cannot access Google Maps from a bookmark or directly using a complete URL, but does access some other applications as always.

Now the curious (to me, anyway) part. If I open a new private Firefox window, I can log into both Zoho Mail and Google Maps as I used to from the Firefox private window using bookmarks.

This helps me pinpoint Firefox as the problem – one part working, the other not.

My Firefox is up to date [Version 140.0.4 (64 bit)], and I have scanned all 1,350,000-plus files on my system for viruses and potential startup issues.

Should I reinstall Firefox? If so, how do I do that while keeping my bookmarks and password files?

If I use another browser (i.e., “Google Chrome), I can access both Zoho Mail and Google Maps with no difficulty. That is not a solution for me.

Firefox has been my foundation browser for decades. I don’t want to have to use anything else.

The Firefox browser on my computer suddenly wouldn't open, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. After logging into my account, my original bookmark list disappeared. I also have Firefox on my phone, but the bookmarks won't sync to my computer. What should I do?

It's been eons since I set the FireFox primary password and do not use the feature. Plus I have no idea what the password was that I set. I keep getting pop ups to input the password on various sites. The only way I see to stop this is to turn off 'Use the Primary Password' setting. This is not possible since I do not have my password. How do I reset the password and edit this option and contents?

I requested my Pocket export three times in June '25 and have received nothing. (Most recent request on 24th June '25, ID: 25174602-3e81-421e-a30d-71ff91dd2d66

I have also contacted Mozilla Support using the contact form twice to raise this issue and didn't receive any confirmation of those support requests to my email address.

The only possible explanation that I can think of is that maybe there has been a problem at the time when Mozilla acquired Pocket and I linked my Pocket account with my Mozilla account. I had previously used a different email address for my Pocket account prior to 2017. I currently have two email addresses (primary and secondary) associated with my Mozilla account but none of these email addresses are showing up in my Pocket settings, only my username. My Mozilla account is the only place where I can see my email addresses listed in my account details but I can't understand why I didn't get the confirmation emails to my Mozilla Support requests.

I used Pocket extensively for work so I really need to get the export. I'd really appreciate some help, thank you.
