How do I remove pocket from Firefox?

The published solution does not work. When I type "about:config" in the URL, then "pocket," and change the "extensions.pocket.enabled" to "false," the pocket page still shows up after I close a session or a screen asking me to sign in to pocket. I am always closing unnecessary pocket related tabs.

As I remember, one time it worked but only for two days and then the some form of the pocket page showed up again.

Restarting Firefox does not change anything. Please advise.

Windows 10 22H2. A few of days ago Firefox stopped playing any audio. Video still works but even audio only streams produce no volume. As far as I've checked its only Firefox. All other browsers and media apps play sounds fine. Tried all the solutions in the help article article . No luck. I have been using Firefox for 8 years now. Unfortunately, it seems I will have to abandon it soon. A lot of websites don't have compatibility with Firefox and now this. Hopefully there's a simple solution and soon. It would be sad to see you go.

Until a recent update I have been able to select where I want files to download to, but now they only go to one place in Users/Downloads and completely ignore the tick box in settings "Always ask where to save the file" . Does anyone else have this issue? I have tried to reset the settings, etc. to no avail.

Our IT specialist at UW-Madison is stumped and suggested I reach out to Firefox. He was helping me troubleshoot why Firefox keeps saying it's sending a code to verify my account, but I never receive the code. He has added the "accounts" email to my contacts and I don't know what else to do or try. Any ideas from the community? I need my bookmarks after upgrading to Windows 11 and can't imagine trying to recreate them all.

So I'm trying to remove my firefox data such as my bookmarks and saved log ins from a work computer because I retired. I signed out of firefox on the computer. I uninstalled it on this computer and then reinstalled and it's still showing the information even after logging out and restarting computer. I also deactivated the computer from my list of devices on my firefox account and that still did not remove the data. Can you please assist me in this removal of my firefox information from this computer.

Thank you, Cherie

I have tried all the setting and support instructions and I can't get Firefox to suggest my username for Twitter's login page. I have quite a few login credentials saved in Firefox and Twitter seems to be the only site I have trouble with. Please advise.

Hello, I recently installed a fresh FF 115.0.2 (after years of importing my old profile). I noticed a really nice feature, when double clicking a word, a search bubble would open with 4 icons (google, google maps, wikipedia and something else) and you could click one of them and it would open a new tab and search for the selected text.

Today I noticed it is missed. I didn't upgrade FF, I didn't install any new add-on and I didn't even close FF since the last time it worked.

Any ideas how to get it back? And how to add other providers to this very nice feature?

Thanks

After you "improved" the extensions, I can't find a way to pin my password manager to the toolbar. I use it ALOT so there is a huge inconvenience to have to click the extension button to se it every time. Tell me how I can have it pinned. If this is not possible, I am quitting Firefox!

Although using "delete" or "shift + delete" removes a search suggestion in the address bar at the time of entry, the search suggestion returns the next time you have to enter the field. How can you permanently delete a search suggestion, which is to say, how can you delete or clear the file where the search suggestion data resides?

I am unable to scroll in the comments section of the NYTimes. The scroll bar does not show up. I can use the arrow key but only to a limited extent. I do not have this problem with Chrome. I get the Firefox updates regularly but it has not corrected the problem.

Hello.. I turn on my laptop, start firefox and all my bookmarks are gone... I wasnt log in for very long time during using firefox and what I can do now to get back my VERY IMPORTANT bookmarks?
