Firefox Community Forum

Recently, after two Firefox updates, there are changes on my home page.

1. I only get the top bar and not a full page. I have to click on the green circle with the enlarge icon to get a full page.

2. No longer can access multiple pages on the home screen so cannot cut/paste or transfer and drop info onto different pages.

While I have Firefox as a browser, my search is usually done by google.

How can these problems be fixed.

Thank you.

My windows broken and I install new one. I have signed to firefox with my account, but there is no my old bookmarks from old device - Daniel’s Firefox on Daniel-PC.

How can I get bookmarks from Daniel’s Firefox on Daniel-PC?

hello after my update yesterday i have not my bookmarks on the left side automaticly. when open a browser site i must always click opinions etc to have it. so i made a recovery and it works again. in the future no updates unless you give me a instruction to have it further. kind regards mh

Firefox extensions are exhausting my CPU like a malware (it seems like it...) and i can't figure out which one is the problem

I usually never use my school account on my home PC but a few days ago I did. I signed in, finished my work and now I cannot use my other accounts. It says that Halton has blocked access to my account. I can't use YouTube or any of the things school blocks. I cleared the school account. I cleared cash. I cleared cookies. I reinstalled it. Please help.

Thanks

Hello, I've updated my Nvidia graphics driver and encountered this issue. Basically I noticed it on twitch.tv mainly, bottom of my website is hidden behind taskbar, as if firefox thinks I have the automatically hiding taskbar setting enabled, which I never used. I've tried deleting some json file from %appdata% which has not helped, tried reinstalling firefox, running in troubleshoot mode,disabling hardware acceleration and nothing helped. Here are screenshots of how it looks fullscreen and how it should look, as you can see the bottom section is missing. Thanks in advance

If I select "Privacy & Security > History > Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings > Data > Site settings" what SQLite files affected when Firefox closes?

I suspect in the profile folder directly, there's a file called "storage.sqlite", but there seems to be more things affected because the whitelist for my cookies is also wiped-out.

In my experience (115.23.0.esr), when I request to remove site data when Firefox closes, it wipes out my cookie white list, so I want to manage that myself.

Running FF 138 64-bit on Win 10 Home, and tabs won't combine. When I move one tab over another, I get NO GLOWING RING, and the tabs just swap places as I move the first tab over the second one, no matter how slowly I move them. It doesn't work in Vertical Tabs, either.

Здравствуйте. Последнее время заметил следующую проблему. При открытии некоторых сайтов, где есть видео или транляции, колесиком мышки открываю нужные видео или трансляции в новых вкладках. Ситуация следующая. Если не спеша открыть несколько вкладок, например 5, после перейти к ним, то нужно нажать в центре видео/трансляции "плей", чтобы видео стало работать. НО, если открыть вкладки (так же 5 или более) и сразу же переключаться на них, то видео будет автоматически стартовать. Раньше так и было при добавлении нескольких вкладок с видео, а после переключения на них, видео сразу открывалось. Теперь - нет. В настройках ничего нигде не менял, проверял как на версии браузера для пк на 133..., так и на последней 137... Отключал все дополнения, в настройках сайтов давал разрешение для автовоспроизведения аудио и видео. Хочу отметить, что такая проблема на многих сайтах. На некоторых же всё работает как и раньше. Также отмечу, что переустанавливал браузер с полной очисткой. Железо у пк хорошее, озу 32 гб. Никогда проблем такого рода не было. Прошу помочь с решением проблемы.

Windows 11, v23H2

After the last update, I have a problem opening some links just with a left click. Most open fine, but on some sites, I can open the site fine, but all other links have to be opened in a new tab. Sometimes, I can't even get that menu to come up, so I have to save the link URL and open it in a new tab manually.

I have my browser set to open all tabs in a new window, so that's not the problem.

It's very annoying, especially when I'm trying to get something done quickly.

How do I fix this? TIA

In the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended

https://packages.mozilla.org/apt leads to 404, not a Debian software repository / archive.

Step 4 (is broken)

Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null

Whenever I log into QuickBooks Online, I get two popup messages about Firefox/Mozilla wanting me to set up a passkey in Hello Windows. I do not want to do this and cannot figure out how to make it stop asking me. I already have MFA on QBO. This just slows down the login process.

Hoping someone has a solution.

Hi,

there are massive performance issues while playing videos on Youtube while using Firefox. This does not happen with the same video while using edge. The attached video shows the used memory and CPU of the youtube tab from the firefox process manager. This was taken after playing the video for 30s. Letting it run longer resulted in firefox taking up 20GB of RAM.

I think this happens since I installed 138.0 of firefox.

Could you please take a look.

Thanks.

Best regards

Hi,

A few weeks or months ago, Firefox suddenly wouldn't save my browsing history for longer than approximately 1 month. This is odd, because I have history turned on. I use custom history settings and only have cookies and cache deleted every time I close Firefox. Also, it does not delete the history upon closing FF, but it's simply limited to round about one month back. I have played around in about:config before, so I might have touched something there and not noticed until later.

I use Firefox 137.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 11.

Any ideas what might be the issue and how I could solve it?

ANNOYING!! I am unable to reach USA TODAY puzzles.

Window turns black with rotating arrow. I do not want to give in to BING, but I am able to work the puzzles when I use it.

I use Win 11 and normally use DUCK DUCK GO search

As of a few days ago (potentially coinciding with the most recent update?) I've had several websites become varying degrees of unresponsive when using Firefox while being connected to a VPN (Nord, in this case).

Some sites will load but then get throttled--i.e. YouTube will load and (usually) populate thumbnails, but clicking on a video will result in the video instantly dropping to its lowest available resolution, playing for a few seconds, and then stalling. Interestingly(?) if I try to watch a live stream, chat will be fully functional but the video will be unable to load. Other sites will load but then very quickly stop responding at all. Others are straight up just not loading period, while many others have no issues at all.

I've cleared my cache, deleted cookies for the affected sites, tried Firefox in a private window, tried Firefox with no extensions, and reinstalled both Nord and Firefox to no avail. All of the affected sites are fully functional so long as I'm not connected to a VPN, and are also fully functional on other browsers, even while connected to a VPN. All other non-browser related applications that require the internet are also unaffected, and my internet speeds in general aren't showing any issues.

I've been unable to find any other chatter about this anywhere, and I unfortunately don't have any other devices available to try and replicate the issues. I would not be surprised if it was one of those wonderful Me Exclusive DNS issues or something, but figured it was worth throwing out there.

Can someone please explain to me why the extension Video Downloadhelper works so erratically? It seems like it's gotten worse over time. According to Perplexity AI it probably has to with Mozilla's incessant updates; I have no idea if that's true or not, I just know it doesn't work very well anymore.
