After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

On Sunday October 5, 2025 I began experiencing an issue with gocomics.com. I thought it was a temporary one that would resolve itself. Monday morning it was still happening. I contacted GC thinking the issue was on their end. They were unable to replicate it. They asked me to try to go to the site using the private window on FF. I was able to access it just fine. Therefore, we know it is not GC. I was also able to get to their page on Chrome.

I tried again on Tuesday. Same issues. I had already read on some forums where others were getting the same loop that I am: https://amub2c.b2clogin.com/amub2c.onmicrosoft.com/B2C_1A_GC_SIGNINSIGNOUT_POLICIES/oauth2/v2.0/logout?post_logout_redirect_uri=https://www.gocomics.com

It was suggested to try refreshing FF. I did that. Didn’t work. Gave up again for the day.

This morning, I tried uninstalling FF. Didn’t work. What else is there left for me to try?

Hi, I rebooted Firefox today because a website was frozen, and when it came back, it was asking for a troubleshoot or just continue, and I don't know exactly what that meant, but when I clicked on refresh, everything was changed, including the theme. And then when I tried to restore the theme back to the original it said, add-ons are disabled by safety, and I don't know what that means, and it's not explaining how to undo it. And now everything looks different and I'm not happy with it, and it's not really letting me add any other themes, and if I add them, they don't seem to fully load, the page still looks all white

I updated my firefox browser on October 6th and ever since then, whenever I press ALT to switch to a different application (I use ALT + Tab to switch windows) I go back in a tab's history. This never happened before and I'm not sure how to go about disabling whatever function this is. I've checked in the about:config section of firefox but I don't know which of these options is for this function, if it's even in here. Any advice or help would be appreciated!

It only happens on some websites (Wikipedia for one) and doesn't happen anywhere else in my system. I was unable to root out the reason for this and all solutions seem to be for when there are boxes instead. I don't see boxes, only Russian letters for some reason.

Mozzila не открывает предыдущую сессию, соответствующая галочка в настройках стоит. Я пробовал разные способы, указанные в часто задаваемых вопросах. В том числе с подменой данных в папке sessionstore-backups: запускал браузер - находил эту папку - вставлял нужный файл .jsonlz4 - перезапускал браузер. В таком случае все мои вкладке были на месте НО после закрытия-открытия браузера сессия снова сбрасывается. При очистке браузера, появлялась кнопка "восстановить предыдущие вкладки", восстановление происходило, НО закрыл-открыл браузер - и снова пусто. Пробовал удалить браузер и установить снова - та же проблема. После запуска, если открыть журнал - в разделе недавно закрытые вкладки, недавняя история поиска - пусто, как будто предыдущей сессии вообще не было. Как исправить эту проблему? Примечание - мои закладки, введённые пароли и расширения на месте.

Even though I have settings set to load previous tabs when Firefox is started up but when it is restarted it doesn't load the tabs. This has only occurred the last few days. My solution is to select "reopen all windows" which does what I want but also opens several other versions of Firefox. Noteworthy, confusing, but probably not associated: In the course of trying to work through this, I have had a baseball playing on Chrome. I ended up closing out Chrome but the baseball game audio continues even though the Chrome appears to be closed on the taskbar.
