Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

I usually use DuckDuckGo for searches. Since the last Firefox update, I get a popup ad for a "DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials" add-on every time I (a) re-open Firefox and (b) search with DuckDuckGo. How can I stop this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm signed in on desktop and phone (they are synced), but I forgot my password, and I don't have a recovery key. I want to reset the password to avoid losing data, just to prevent. If I back up my desktop profile, then reset my password, will this backup be enough to recover all my data? Or is there something that it's stored just online/on cloud by firefox that won't be recovered?

Hello,

Uninstall for Firefox does not work. 

When I try to uninstall a "refresh" window opens.

I do not want to refresh, just uninstall.

Whatever process I try yields the same result.

Thank you Ben

After updating Firefox this morning on my main PC, I noticed that it didn't ask for my primary password.

I then noticed that it wasn't filling in passwords automatically.

My primary password has disappeared as well as my stored passwords. When I try to set a primary password it tells me that it can't change the password.

I tried creating a new profile and that didn't fix it.

I can use firefox on other devices and all the information is there. But I can't get my passwords on my primary PC.

How do I fix this?

i'm running Firefox 105.0.1 (64-bit) on a Win 11 PC.

I'd like to hide the Bar with URL addresses but guides I've seen (for example https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1331743 ) don't work for me because I don't have Mozilla folder at Appdata folder.

When my system crashes, the session that is restored is from some time back. I was wondering when Firefox stores its session information and is there any way to force an update? How can I insure that the new session is saved?

I have 2 yahoo email accounts. 1 on Chrome & "block Spam" works but on FF it does not. The same fake emails keep coming back and I can't add a screenshot to this.

someone named "Paul" emailed me about my pop up ad problem - not sure how to reply to him - Paul, thank you but I am an old Luddite. Don't understand what you mean by "Are these pop-ups the GDPR cookie preferable notices?:

When I open a website -- say CNN.com for example -- I see ads on the home page, then when I click on a link to go to an article I see a bunch of ads all over the place.

Besides old content from 2017 where is the most current listing of Tabs below the URL and below the Multi Bookmarks lines. I have the code inserted in the CSS code after the code for the Multi bookmarks section. So, why is the Tabs showing up at the bottom of the screen. Can someone point me to the right version of tabs? I'm on 105.0.2 10-8-22

I downloaded upgrade Firefox. I clicked replace. The new version was not compatible with my operative system. I then uninstalled Firefox with Clean my Mac. Too fast.

Now I have upgraded my operative system and have the newest Firefox. It works but I have lost all my bookmarks, website history, data, cookies - everything that makes it easy. Biggest problem is some lost passwords that only my old Firefox remembers..

Is it possible to restore this somehow? Please say yes and describe me how!

Sorry for bothering, but I was wondering if resetting the password with the security code also deleted the saved passwords in the device. The wording in the information section was too obtuse for me to know if they would be removed or not.

I notice that I sometimes have as much as 14 Firefox processes running at the same time, even though I only have one tab open.

E.g. just starting up produces 9 processes, consuming some 43% of memory! I see no way to limit the number of process in Settings->Performance (ALL "solutions" to this problem involve changing the "Content process limit", but that seems to have gone in the latest Firefox version?) What do I do?

Yesterday I noticed that my saved passwords were not being retrieved from Firefox. I did do a Windows update before this happened. None of my passwords are able to be retrieved. My Firefox account says my sync is not working & that my account is disconnected. Which is weird bc I'm actually signed in to Firefox now - able to see my user name. What's going on here & how can I fix it? Thanks!

Hello,

I would be grateful, if possible, if you could help load a new PKCS#11 Module in the Firefox Privacy and Security Settings (under Security -> Certificates -> Security Devices ->Load). Based on the instructions from an electronic ID card reader application (eID Middleware), after installing the application I have tried to load a PKCS#11 module with a Module name /usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libEidPkcs11.dylib. However, I am getting the "unable to add module" Alert message from Firefox. I am using a Mac Book Pro with an 8-core Intel i9 processor, and macOS Monterey 12.6 version. I've tried restarting Firefox as well as the Mac, but it didn't help. If anyone knows how to fix the problem, I would very much appreciate it.

Best, Slaven
