THis morning, the motherboard on my laptop crashed SO I went to WalMart and bought a new one I downloaded Firefox..........and the bookmarks are 9 years old. And the bookmarks is where I keep 100s of passwords. I have to have them!

Need to delete a company I used to work for off Firefox, when I go on the page, your system always tries to load their page. I don't want that; I want them removed. https://cms.northstaria.com/

The analogue clock add-on that I've had on my desktop for months has suddenly disappeared. In my list of add-ons it is still showing as turned on but it's not visible.

When I type my info request in the Google search box below the Firefox logo on the home page, I would like to have my search start there and not shift to the URL bar above. I have tried everything to stop this process ( that I know of ) and nothing works.

I just approved an upgrade to Firefox that mentioned something about a new way of dealing with extensions. The first thing I noticed was my 1Password add-on in the toobar disappeared. I took the steps recommended by 1Password to add it back, and I can get a 1Password icon to appear on the toolbar, but it is non-functional. I confirmed 1Password is still functional with an icon in the toolbars of my other browsers. What gives?

On certain web pages, there are scrollable containers (e.g., prompt cards in a prompt library) where the content overflows and should be scrollable with the mouse wheel when hovered. This works as expected in Chrome, Brave, and Edge browsers, but in Firefox, the mouse wheel does not scroll the content inside the container. This makes it impossible to access content that extends below the visible area.

Steps to Reproduce:

   Go to a page with a scrollable container (e.g., a prompt library with cards that have overflow content).

   Hover the mouse over the container.

   Try to scroll using the mouse wheel.

Expected Result: The content inside the container should scroll up or down.

Actual Result: Nothing happens; the content does not scroll.

Tested on:

   Firefox version: 141.0

   OS: Windows 10 and Also Linux Fadora

Works as expected on:

   Chrome

   Brave

   Edge

I would like to disable automatic session restore completely. When I restart my PC, crashes or anything like that, I do not want Firefox to restore my previously opened tabs or windows. When I open firefox after a system reboot / crash, I want to only open my default home page. Only if I manually click History > Restore Previous Session should firefox ever restore my session, otherwise never restore my sessions.

I tried unchecking Settings > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs, and also tried following this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1182594

My sessions still restores after my computer restarts or crashes.

Why do I want this? When I reboot my computer, I want a clean slate to start from scratch, not the dozens of pages (and other software) I had open from my previous session.

I am running linux mint btw.

Trying to log into Amazon and Firefox is request a Passkey. I selected to log in with my usually password and the passkey request will not go away...WTF Firefox this is total bs that this type of request is being even suggested when I have a password, pin and phone verification to already login.

bold textIs Firefox blocking access to the following website? https://seaware.azamara.com/touchb2c/#/booking-search-route. I get a message that Firefox cannot open this site. Website will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. How do I fix this situation?

Incoming emails, especially newsletters, typically have a "View in browser" button or link or something similar to "if there are problems with how this email is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser".

Due to formatting issues with some email newsletters, I do want to open in my browser. Firefox is my default browser on my desktop and on my Android phone. The "view in browser" link never works on the desktop in all the years I've clicked the link. I checked my desktop computer's settings to make sure that .mht files are set to open in Firefox. They don't.

These files open in Firefox on my phone when I click the "view in browser" link.

Because I can zoom in as needed to enlarge documents and websites on my computer's 32" monitor and read them far more easily on that than I can on my 6" phone. For that and many other reasons, I do the majority of my work and play on my computer, not my phone.

What am I missing in not being able to open mht's in Firefox desktop app.

Current versions used: Win 10 (don't judge); FF: 141.0 Android 15; FF 141.0

Thanks for any insight,

MK

my location was changed on this desktop from Oakland CA (where it is and always has been) to Los Angeles how did that happen -- hacker? scam? and how do I restore the proper location?

I am using Firefox desktop on Windows 11. I have downloaded hundreds of articles from this website, with no problem until yesterday. I accessed the website using Edge, and it worked fine.

When trying to access a particular article to download it to Ancestry, the following message appears:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

I accessed the browser console for more information, which I'm sure someone can understand, but not this grandma. This is what I got:

I really don't want to stop using Firefox, but I need a usable browser. Can you help me?

after the latest firefox update my screenshots will no longer download to my desktop but are sent directly to my downloads folder on windows 11. It has worked for years downloading to my desktop...what did you do? All the settings are set for DESKTOP ie, my computer and firefox but it will not work. Can you please help me?

hi there.

this is just to flag up that the browser is freezing up when I try to edit my website on the adobe portfolio web application.

I searched around, saw some people complaining of the same, but this seems to be a niche issue for sure.

windows 11.

thanks for your time!

Greetings Ya'll, Firefox Bookmarks are no longer being initially placed in "Other Bookmarks, they are now being placed in the "Bookmarks" that is under the "Open Application Menu" Tab.

I've found that the "New Bookmarks" can be "Dragged" as a copy to "Bookmarks", from the "Bookmarks" located in the menu, for they will stay there unless I delete them

I can not move the "Bookmarks" back to "Other Bookmarks"

Would I lose My Bookmarks, If I "Refresh" Firefox, as suggested in the "Troubleshooting Section? If there is a chance of this happening then that would Absolutely Be Catastrophic!!
